In February 2004, U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls.

Hasn’t come up in the Democraic debates.
What are the odds this issue will be discussed between Obama and McCain??
My bet is that while the Maverick might be rough and tough enough to beat up on his “fellow conservatives” in the Republican primary, such questions might be deemed too “indelicate” to discuss on a national platform.
I hope that I am wrong, yet again.
Maybe I could vote for McCain?
Someone in a punk-rock band looking for a name should give Jesus’ Dad a try.
Listen all you liberals who read here daily...Jesus ALLOWING someone to do what they please is not GOD’s Endorsement for that activity.
Just a few things you need to consider, walking around saying that the following actions are GOOD because it helps (fill in the blank) is no excuse, but will be dealt with directly one day.
Abortion (The wanton murder of human life for personal convenience)
Homosexuality (The purposeful perversion of intended nature)
socialism (The purposeful destruction of self determination and motivation to succeed robbing from those who produce and giving to mostly people who can do for themselves)
Adultry (Thanks to one liberal its not sex and thus Okay)
We ALL know that the list is longer than this...but liberals do not care. Their goal is to increase the size of the list and replace God with themselves.
Politics, no. But life is more than politics, and some of our decisions, the ones that affect the lives of so many, are of immense importance to us and more so to Him. We cannnot be callous to the laws of nature’s God and walk away as if He doesn’t exist. The very thing which emboldens so mnay to keep up the culture of death is that they see God’s failure to zap us as meaning it is of no consequence. But, just as He gave Israel time to repent and desist from its sin, and received warning after warning, He finally allowed a more sinful nation to take them away into captivity, and He wil do the same to us.
The biggie is “Thou shalt not covet...anything that is thy neighbor’s”
Daddy also didn’t like class envy.
He is King. Kings don't vote. They decree. There will be no political parties, no committee's, no lobbyists, no quorum calls, no SCOTUS, no appeals, and absolutely no United Nations Security Council.
One of the things both political parties have forgotten is a King is sovereign. Back in the monarchy times, they knew what a King could do. We have forgotten over the centuries.
If you don't know Jesus Christ and have no personal relationship with Him, it is impossible to understand God or His ways or His purposes or His Word.
That would include understanding the fact that God hates sin and understanding the ways that God deals with fallen, sinful mankind.
after 9/11.....who but a lib/dem would vote for b. HUSSEIN for POTUS????
Agreed. This brings to mind King Arthur saying, "You don't vote for a king!"
Q: Why Jesus would not vote for Barack Obama
A: Because he’s not a US citizen, and wouldn’t vote illegally?
Mark
Mohammed was a conquering warlord, less voting, more raping and pillaging.
The biggie is “Thou shalt not covet...anything that is thy neighbor’s”He son did though:
Daddy also didn’t like class envy.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
He couldn’t vote democrat because He is not dead.
At no time in the Gospels, did Jesus ever suggest taking the wealth from the rich by force. He did, however, state that those who do have wealth should, voluntarily, exercise that wealth fully for the glory of God.
That isn't class envy. That is acknowledging that humans who spent a lot of time trying to accumulate weath and stuff may tend to be more focused on the material rather than the spiritual.
His son said no such thing. The immediate verse after that statement was the apostles replying “Lord, then how can ANYONE be saved?” The Old Testament is fairly clear that one of the signs of favor by God is wealth. The apostles were astonished, since Jesus was saying that the wealthy man who followed all the laws of Moses would have a hard time getting in. Jesus wasn’t stating that the man wasn’t following the law, or was evil, or any other such thing. What Jesus was pointing out was the need for total commitment to Him and God to be saved.That sounds like a bit of revisionism to me.At no time in the Gospels, did Jesus ever suggest taking the wealth from the rich by force. He did, however, state that those who do have wealth should, voluntarily, exercise that wealth fully for the glory of God.
21Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."So Peter sells his possessions to pay Paul or he becomes a "Camel passing through the eye of a needle".
The end of the passage compounds that interpretaton:
28Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother[f] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.Sounds pretty open and shut to me. "last shall be first" etc...
That isn't class envy. That is acknowledging that humans who spent a lot of time trying to accumulate weath and stuff may tend to be more focused on the material rather than the spiritual.Read Jesus' earlier admonition that the questioner give away all his possessions to the poor.
Every person that I have ever known that died left all their worldly possessions right here on earth. This was an analogy for the 'eye of a needle' was a gate that only allowed people in and unloaded camels to crawl through at night. So if your camel is loaded with ill gotten gains it is NOT going in with you. Nothing about class envy about it.
Christ told Peter, who was already a commercial fisherman to ‘fish’ from the ‘right’ side. Oh and Christ also told Peter he was not fishing for literal fish but for mankind.
However, the days seem to have come when there is NOT a whole lot of difference in the left and right side of any boat.
Good post.
