Christians cannot pretend that they do not know the truth in Jesus Christ so they can get along with fallen men, who claim, like Eve, they can know the truth apart from God. For the Christian, it is a matter of loyalty and covenant faithfulness to Christ.
We must call all men to believe and obey God. But Obama would have us pretend that there is no authority to appeal to outside of ourselves. “We open up our hearts and our minds to those who may not think precisely like we do or believe precisely what we believe -- that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground.”
But, there is no common ground between the light of Jesus Christ and the darkness of worldly thinking and immorality. This is the myth of neutrality. The world is actively fighting God and suppressing the sense of deity that is in their conscience.
For an example Obama says, “The gay activist and the evangelical pastor may both deplore the ravages of HIV/AIDS, but find themselves unable to bridge the cultural divide that might unite their efforts.”
The gap between evangelicals and homosexuals is not cultural, it is spiritual and moral. Evangelicals make up all kinds of racial and ethnic cultures who get along just fine under the banner of Christ. They already do much to help people dying of HIV/AIDS. It is when homosexuals demand we lower our Christian flag and salute the rebellious rainbow flag of sexual sin that there can be absolutely no compromise.
"This is so we can find out exactly who you are, isolate, marginalize and demonize you, so that we may eliminate our enemies one by one."
Typical Saul Alinsky tactic, not to mention Sun Tzu (keep your friends close, and your enemies closer).
I think he was referring to the Islamist Terrorists. Notice how he first visited many Islamist Terrorist Nations and their leaders in the Middle East and South America BEFORE going Israel to talk to their Prime Minister. Also notice how he spoke kindly to them and wants negotiation with them, but with Israel it's demands, and more demands BEFORE there can be any negotiations with Obama.
