Subject: IN OBAMA'S OWN WORDS............

This guy wants to be our President and control our government. Pay
close attention to the last comment!! Below are a few lines from
Obama's books in his words:
--big snip of Bama BS--

I liked Ken Blackwell's column. A friend sent it to me today and it's
a very interesting point of view, don't you think?

It's an amazing time to be alive in America. We're in a
year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman
candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a
candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The
next president of America will be a first.

(LJ sez: I disagree with him on the viability of either candidate.
Give me Thomas Sowell or Colin Powell for President and I'll happily
vote for a black man. I wanted Libby Dole for our first woman
president but she was too smart for that.)

We won't truly be in an election of firsts, however,
until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive
where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender.
Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we
need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his
policies and his politics.

The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a
nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is
now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper
look at him. Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy.
He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people learned
the facts.

Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal
senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted
Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen
a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his
record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost.
George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael
Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not
behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if
he were in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past
party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of
America. But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is
underneath this superficial "beauty."

Start with national security, since the president's most important
duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked
about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons;
meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to
destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is
murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear
option was off the table against terrorists - something no president
has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the
1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned
all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would
put our national security at risk.

Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care
system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements,
created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more
goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a
life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to
raise taxes on "the rich." How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes.
How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes.
Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His
solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother
on steroids, funded by your paycheck.

Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to
open a stadium rally by saying, "All praise and glory to God!"
but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have
"hijacked" - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth
abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule
any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views
of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing.
His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in
that direction. In Illinois, he refused to vote against a statewide
ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left,
Hollywood, and San Francis co values, not Middle America values.

The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs.
Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people
don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His
vision of "bringing America together" means saying that those who
disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers.
Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning
any conflicting beliefs.

But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he
is and - yes - they're talking about his race. Those should never be
the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama's
radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the
left of Mrs. Clinton.

It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of
firsts, let's first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to
be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.

is good, and is in time, on time

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:

The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM
descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and
have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people
will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and
when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many
times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a
friend or media outlet...do it! If you think I am crazy,. I'm sorry
but I refuse to take a chance on the "unknown" candidate.
