Sarah Palin - Audio Interview - James Dobson

The Right Wing Christian conservative umbrella evangelical group, Focus on the Family, headed by Dr. James Dobson, has posted a 16 page letter at its website, warning of the consequences of a Democratic Party presidential win, under the leadership of Barack Obama.

Focus on the Family is the organization that once posted a video, explained as a joke, urging visitors to the site to pray for rain on the night Senator Obama delivered his presidential nominee acceptance speech, in August 2008, at domeless Mile High stadium in Denver, Colorado.

The letter begins:

What will the United States be like if Senator Obama is elected? The most reliable way of predicting people’s future actions is by looking at their past actions. Jesus himself taught, “You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). Anyone who has hired employees knows that – the best predictor of a person’s future job performance is not what he tells you he can do but what he has actually done in the past.

So here is a picture of the changes that are likely or at least very possible if Senator Obama is elected and the far-Left segments of the Democratic Party gain control of the White House, the Congress, and perhaps then the Supreme Court. The entire letter is written as a “What if?” exercise, but that does not make it empty speculation, because every future “event” described here is based on established legal and political trends that can be abundantly documented and that only need a “tipping point” such as the election of Senator Obama and a Democratic House and Senate to begin to put them into place.

Every past event named in this letter (everything prior to October 22, 2008) is established fact.

The letter continues:

Al-Qaida leaders have been emboldened by what they are calling the American “defeat” and their ranks are swelling in dozens of countries.

(22) Terrorist attacks: “The home of the brave”? President Obama directed U.S. intelligence services to cease all wiretapping of alleged terrorist phone calls unless they first obtained a warrant for each case. Terrorists captured overseas, instead of being tried in military tribunals, are given full trials in the U.S. court system, and they have to be allowed access to a number of government secrets to prepare their defense.

Since 2009, terrorist bombs have exploded in two large and two small U.S. cities, killing hundreds, and the entire country is fearful, for no place seems safe. President Obama in each case has vowed “to pursue and arrest and prosecute those responsible,” but no arrests have been made. However, he has challenged the nation to increase foreign aid to the poorer nations that were the breeding grounds for terrorism, so people could have an opportunity to escape from the cycles of poverty and violence in which generations had been trapped.

Karen Hatter, I like this story. It's good stuff.

You'd THINK that the Christian conservatives would be PLEASED as punch to have Obama as president, because if they truly believe he's so evil, it would hasten the rapture and send them all to heaven which is where THEY are trying to head us anyway with their messed up agenda.

I find scripture-laden political messages to be alienating, though we (Americans) are a fairly conservatively-religious demographic, so I can see why this could be seen as effective.

To see what I mean, check out Lonely Planet's opening chapters in their USA travel guide. [I have no link for this, so it's a bit of a homework assignment, and a great excuse to visit a bookshop) It's fascinating to see how we're perceived by others, and bear in mind that this is a guide book that is encouraging tourism in the US.

Just a side note: the word "homosexual" appears 38 times.

The word "terrorist" appears four.

If you're more worried that two people are finding happiness than that there are people out there who desperately want Americans dead, this letter will scare your socks off.

Luke 18
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Karen Hatter, I like this story. It's good stuff. I can't believe people still fall for this crapola, but then Maury, and  Jerry Springer still have a audience, so I guess it is great fear mongering.

Karen Hatter, Oh my, crazy american american religion indoctrinating its membership of gullible fund providers with its own political religious motive that takes away the members freedom of whom to vote for. Of course these very guilible followers will obey their reliious leader as he speaks on behalf of God, lol

talking about politics in a church or any form of temple or politically indoctrinating ones flock should be made illegal, this guy is rigging the vote for his own political reason it should be look as being unpatriotic and an act of treason as it defeats the object of democratic system of one man/woman one vote and underminds the value of american freedom in the land of the free.

Ophra still has an audience, as well, that's entertainment?  Or, entrainment... riding the last rail outta' Dodge.  The right-wing religious wacko's belong in the same boat as the fanatical far left-wingnuts... and that boat should be destined for Davy Jones Locker.
