Obama Selecting the Most Anti-Life, Anti-Family Radicals He Can Find for Administration
President-elect unveils plans to dismantle federal legal protection for marriage

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 20, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In light of further actual and rumored appointments, Obama’s future presidential administration is steadily emerging as a regime ominously packed with Obama insiders who promise to help roll out the carpet for the President-elect's radical anti-life and anti-family agenda.

Media outlets recently named Arizona governor Janet Napolitano as Obama’s probable choice for secretary of Homeland Security.

An early Obama supporter and campaigner, Napolitano firmly established herself as an extreme abortion supporter by vetoing the partial birth abortion ban, and in one month she vetoed four anti-abortion bills. In 2005 NARAL warmly praised the governor for vetoing a bill that would have allowed Arizona pharmacies not to distribute the abortifacient morning-after pill due to a moral or religious objection.

Tom Dashcle has recently been named as the likely candidate for the next Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), an appointment Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council said gives pro-lifers a “frightening glimpse” into the new Cabinet.

The former Democratic Senate majority leader gained notoriety for his liberal views on abortion when he opposed the partial-birth abortion ban, endorsed taxpayer-funded military abortions, and supported taxpayer funding to provide morning-after pills to young public school girls. Perkins also lamented that Daschle, a man with no experience in public health, is on track to become the ultimate authority on federal health issues.

One of the national co-chairs for Obama’s presidential campaign, Daschle warmed early on to Obama and in 2007 gushed that the Illinois senator “personifies the future of Democratic leadership in our country.”

Another likely future HHS member is Dr. Robin Alta Charo, a highly liberal professor of law and bioethics and former member of Clinton's Bioethics Advisory Commission, who was appointed to Obama’s transition team Friday. Charo had been a member of Obama’s pre-election team, where she managed science and health policy matters.

Bioethicist Wesley J. Smith took Charo's appointment as a further sign that the Obama administration “is going to push full speed ahead” with destructive embryonic stem-cell research. Charo once called Smith, who is a prominent pro-life advocate in the world of bioethics, a leader of “the endarkenment.”

“We are entering very dark days,” said Smith on the appointment.

Pro-abortion juggernaut Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose liberal views on just about every possible social issue are no secret, has also emerged as Obama’s favored choice for Secretary of State.

Meanwhile, Mr. Obama is quickly establishing his public solidarity with the homosexual movement.

Obama recently laid out on his website a “civil rights agenda” that includes, to the satisfaction of homosexual lobbyists, the dismantling of legal protections for marriage. He intends to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, the act that protects natural marriage that is currently enshrined in federal law, and accordingly opposes a federal Constitutional amendment to protect marriage.

Obama has also promised to expand “hate crime” enforcement and legislation by enacting the Matthew Shepard Act, which would allow a perceived bias against homosexuality to be prosecuted. Obama will also enforce non-discrimination in businesses regarding homosexuality, which could force business owners to hire a certain quota of homosexuals.

Finally, Obama’s website confirms that the president-elect will push to open adoption to homosexual couples, and make military service more available to homosexuals.

According to gay news outlets, officials in the president-elect's transition team have so far assigned 7 openly homosexual individuals to transition review panels, 3 of which were high-ranking Clinton administration officials. Reports also say Obama is considering deputy campaign strategist and open homosexual Steve Hildebrand as the next Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, replacing Howard Dean.

All of this information adds up to puntuate every one of your concerns.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[Amendment10]

Given that the federal constitution doesn't expressly delegate power to the federal government to regulate marriage, the 10th A. automatically reserves government power to regulate marriage uniquely to the states.

10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

As I've ranted before, I'm glad that Obama won the election for the following reason. The people will ultimately be forced to reconnect with the Constitution and its history in order to stop constitutionally clueless Obama from using his misguided pen to wrongly usurp state powers.

[cpforlife.org]

Yes, thanks Doc.

I just watched “Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed” by Ben Stein last weekend. I was thinking about one of your recent posts throughout.

Science and Academia is totalitarian.

[cpforlife.org]

Jeff I PINGed my list to your awesome website more than a few times throughout the looong months of this dreaded election. It really is an outstanding resource.

Thanks and God bless your efforts. And please don't stop.

“The people will ultimately be forced to reconnect with the Constitution...”

Well, we can dream and pray. But we all know that for decades the RATS use our beloved Constitution as a door mat. And a growing majority of the voters don’t have a clue about the Constitution.

If the Founders could come back they would _________ the whole lot of em’.

“Expelled” was part of a miracle for me last month.

I was in Cincinnati, Ohio for the American Society of Bioethics and Humanities convention. Thursday of that week was hard - even without the usual ASBH convention bias for “physician assisted death,” abortion and embryonic stem cells - because that night was the annual banquet for our local pregnancy crisis assistance center. At home in Texas.

I tried a new way to go back to the hotel (I don’t ever do this, being a coward in strange cities) and walked past the sign-up table for Hands of Hope, the local pro-life, pro-family group. They were showing “Expelled” at the theater next to the convention.

I got to spend the evening with good people watching a movie I hadn’t seen, instead of feeling sorry for myself at the hotel.

The country has faced challenges that have been much more daunting than RATS who don't know the Constitution that they hypocritically swear to defend, in my opinion.

My hair is literally standing on end reading this - cold shivers. Obama is really going off into the abyss full bore. The worst of the worst. Perhaps people who care about right and wrong, evil and virtue - are going to have to make some hard decisions. Going along with evil, even tacitly, not rocking the boat, keeping silent when our heart is saying to speak out - make us accomplices.

Civil disobedience of some kind might be in our future, or having to quit jobs, or saying or doing things that bring negative attention upon us.

[cpforlife.org]

Very cool. However after seeing the movie I would imagine you “felt sorry” about the whole disgusting mess at large.

I know I felt a whole lotta something.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Pray for some ray of hope against this horde of murderers.

[MrB]

I’m praying for a “road to Damascus” conversion.

I think it’s the only thing that will save our country from such intrinsic evil.

[metmom]

He told me that he had an unusual visitor a couple of years after 9-11. The man said he was fired from a top job at a national security agency because he was trying to cut out the BS and doing his job too aggressively. He went on and was hinting of many potential possibilities of nuke attacks that the gov was not taking seriously. He said we should prepare for the very worst and to get our affairs in order.

Well I still take it all w salt,....

I wouldn't discount what he said. Several months before the 9/11 attacks, there was a man within either the FBI or CIA or some such security organization, who raised concerns about an airplane attack on the Towers like the one that happened. He was blown off by his superiors.

Personally, I have no doubt that your friend is right.

[hocndoc]

I pretty much knew the story by heart from research for the blog and one of my papers about the “war” between believers and non-believers.

I was just grateful to be able to spend the evening with believers, rather than the other side.

However, I was disturbed that the people involved were not prepared or preparing themselves to answer the tough questions. During the question and answer period, I was shocked to hear a woman say that evolution is “just a theory,” and no one informed her what a “theory” is in science.

Fortunately, there were some good people attending the conference for the weekend, and I started running into them the very next day.

Somehow, we have to begin to identify ourselves and to stand strong together.

[DLfromthedesert]

I went to a celebration at Al Melvin’s house this evening. We are feeling very hopeful in AZ; we have a conservative house and senate, and will have a coervative, godly governor.

We must pray that the values in AZ and other pro-life states will spread to the hearts of the faithful in the rest of the nation, and that the evil intentions of this new administration will be stopped in its tracks through the intercession of millions of God’s angels.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

AMEN

[SandRat]

Would not be surpised at SoS Jan Brewer picking Sheriff Joe to head the AZ DPS if she became Governor.

[Salvation]

We are going to have to do a LOT of PRAYING!

[Salvation]

Pray for LIFE!
