Based on what I’ve been reading on Memeorandum (my main source for finding out what’s going on in the political blogosphere), leftist journalists and bloggers are nervous about new poll numbers.
John McCain’s up; Barack Obama’s down. I rarely blog about polls, because I have no confidence in them. McCain-Palin is up now (which could be a mere post-convention bounce), but might drop next week. You never know.
Regardless, I’ll bet Obama is kicking himself right now for not being nicer to Hillary Clinton and/or not selecting her to be his running mate. Some say Obama should send her out to “attack” Sarah Palin, you know, woman-to-woman, catfight style. Would she, even if asked? Hillary’s got some leverage right now, that’s for sure. How she uses it remains to be seen.
McCain’s Palin stunt is paying off, at least in the short run, and Obama’s got to work fast and smart to regain his hot and heavy mainstream media love. The media aren’t showing Palin much love, but their energy is being funneled away from the Obamessiah into trying to find or create Palin scandals.
I’ll leave you with this: McCain-Palin just might pull it off. I have problems with both of them, and I’ll blog/write about those issues in the next couple of weeks. But I’ll breathe the proverbial sigh of relief if a Republican is still in the White House by year’s end. President Barack Hussein Obama? Good grief. May it never be…
Help! I’m up to my nose in boxes. Man. You never realize how much stuff you accumulate in 10 years. And the books. They’ve been breeding! (I’m moving to California, by the way.)
Last year, a journalist asked Biden what he thought of his opponent (Biden had recently announced his candidacy for president), and this is what he said about Obama:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
“Obama and others on the evangelical left see government, not individuals or the church, as the instrument by which the commands of Jesus are implemented. In such a doctrinal interpretation, government serves as a kind of “lesser God,” intruding on believers and their commission to do good works, as a means of sharing the gospel message, and concentrating not on the message, but on the implementation of the work itself, which only helps in this life, not the next.”

A graduate of the John Kerry Bible College, Barack Obama is true to form. Like his mentor, Obama cites Scripture to bolster his socialist view of the world and make himself seem more “Christian.”
Unless you live in a cave, you heard about Saturday’s Q&A between Rick Warren of “mega-church” Saddleback and presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. For this post, I want to focus on a few statements Obama made (from an unedited transcript – emphasis added):
“I think America’s greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we still don’t abide by that basic [p]recept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me. And notion of — that basic principle applies to poverty. It applies to racism and sexism. It applies to, you know, not having — not thinking about providing ladders of opportunity for people to get into the middle class. I mean, there is a purvasive [sic] sense I think that this country is wealthy and powerful as we still don’t spend enough time thinking about the least of these…”
Last April, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ban on a heinous act euphemistically called partial birth abortion, which LBC readers know as infanticide or more precisely, murder.
In response, pro child-killing politicians went into action. They drafted a bill called the Freedom of Choice Act, which would nullify federal and state limitations on abortions. Read more about it at the National Right to Life Committee.
Partial birth abortion is a procedure in which “doctors” pull the baby down the birth canal, partially delivering him to avoid murder charges, and inserting a probe or scissors into his skull, killing him. (Update: Forgot to mention this. The “doctor” suctions out the dead baby’s brain to collapse the skull and make it easier for him to pull out the dead baby.)
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven." – Matthew 16: 13-17
Who do you say Jesus is?
The foundation of the Christian faith is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches and people indwelt with the spirit of God believe Christ is the Son of God. He was fully man and fully God. He is God. There was never a time he didn’t exist. He’s always existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit. He is Creator. He is Savior. He is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, the Lamb who will return to deliver God’s wrath.
To an unbeliever, some of these things seem contradictory or just plain silly. How can Jesus have been human and deity? How can Jesus be the Son of God and God? What do these things mean? Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – what is that about?
For short and oh-so-sweet answers, follow the links:
One thing Barack Hussein Obama’s got going for him in the presidential race is the color of his skin. No matter how many verbal gaffes he makes, including inane inconsistencies that pop up in every speech, his ethnicity is his bargaining chip, and he pulls it out whenever he needs it.
You’ve been reading the news. BHO recently accused the McCain camp of playing the race card, then backtracked. But the backtracking didn’t matter. Putting accusations out there causes more than enough damage, even if you change your mind. It’s quite frustrating for me, as a voice in the wilderness, keenly aware of what BHO is doing and how effectively he’s doing it. Bah!
Every time I hear Barack Obama speak, I’m reminded of the expression, “Like shooting fish in a barrel.” He is the embodiment of it.
His ideas are so incongruous and on-the-fly, I wonder why mainstream media aren’t picking his statements apart. Yes, I know it’s too easy. There’s no challenge in it. Yes, I know mainstream media liberals want him to win. But news organizations report news, and a Democratic candidate advocating a civilian quasi-military security force is news.
On July 2, Obama gave a speech to an audience of what appears to be military veterans. Relevant to this post is this nugget (emphasis added):
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Future President Barack Hussein Obama makes so many verbal gaffes, it’s barely challenging to find and expose the ignorance.
Race-pandering before the hispanic racialist group La Raza, BHO equated Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the government agency charged with carrying out our nations immigration laws, with terrorism. He said:
“When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids…when all that is happening, the system just isn’t working, and we need to change it.”
Leave it up to mainstream media to make an instant tree out of an acorn! (Not quite a play on the old idiom, but you get the point!) Slow news cycle? Hey, I can’t talk. I’m blogging about it!
Unless you were comatose yesterday, you probably heard Jesse Jackson say he wanted to cut out Barack Obama’s “nuts” because Jackson believes Obama was “talking down to black people” when he dared mention the need for morality in the black community. Funny, coming from an infanticide enthusiast like BHO, but…anyway, watch the clip:
Look, we all say things we don’t necessarily mean when we’re upset. Don’t judge Jackson too harshly over that. Judge him over his pro-abortion stance. Judge him over his race-baiting and camera-hogging. Judge this phony “man of God” over his media gluttony and attempts to make headlines at all costs. Judge him over his disingenuous concern about “the poor” and misplaced concern about thugs in prison.
Jackson and Obama are cut from the same cloth. They’re attention-loving, devoid-of-substance liberals who’re taken far too seriously.
Update: Commenter Dianne writes: “I haven’t thought of either Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton as ‘Reverends’ for years. To me they’re both B list actors, bad ones at that.”
Later…There’s more? You’ve got your headlines now, “Reverend.”
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. - Jeremiah 17: 9&10
This is another long one. I hope you keep reading. Another important-question-at-the-end post.
The main reason I stopped blogging about politics was because it seemed in vain. I felt I wasn’t making a difference, merely repeating what everyone else was saying. But God has revealed to me it’s not in vain, if my purpose for blogging about politics edifies Christians and encourages them to adopt and maintain a consistent biblical worldview.
We all know Barack Obama supports infanticide. Nothing new here to see. But I caught him attempting to obscure the real reason he voted against a bill protecting infants born alive during failed infanticide attempts. That tends to happen when you don’t have good moral grounding and a consistent worldview, biblical or otherwise. These days, Obama tries to make it sound as if he’s always cared about these infants and opposes abortion on religious grounds.
I contend that both statements are false. Obama believes women and so-called doctors should be allowed to kill unborn babies, and that babies born alive during these attempts should be allowed to die.
Recently interviewed in Relevant magazine, whose motto is “God. Life. Progressive Culture,” Obama was asked about his stance on child killing. He wanted to clear up “rumors.”
If you believe marriage should be defined as between one man and one woman, you are divisive and discriminatory, said future President Barack Hussein Obama (Source).
But by his own logic, BHO’s also divisive and discriminatory, because he reportedly said he believes marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman. I don’t get it. Which is it, BHO?
There’s more. Once upon a time, BHO said the issue of homosexual “marriage” should be left to the states. The people should vote yay or nay. He’s apparently changed his mind. Now he believes homosexual “marriage” should be forced on the people by the courts.
You may recall that after the California Supreme Court overturned a law banning homosexual “marriage” last month, the people of California leapt into action, adding over one million signatures to a petition to put the question on the November ballot. Californians will get to decide whether homosexuals can “marry” in their state. But BHO cried foul.

Readers have hinted or outright begged me to start blogging politics again. I fill a void and provide a much-needed voice, they tell me. Do I really?
I listened, and here I am again. I knew once I started blogging about Barack Obama, there’d be no turning back. Every day there’s something new. Like a ball of snow rolling downhill, growing larger with each tumble, so is the momentum of political blogging. I don’t know how long it will last. This post is a mixture of politics and faith, so let’s dig in.
