President Barack Hussein Obama? That's a Scary Thought!

As most of you know, I am not a big fan of politics. As a matter of fact I can't believe I'm actually going to attempt a note dealing with politics. But...I am. So bear with me.
For the first time in my life I am actually following the presendintial campaign very closely. Maybe it's because this year I can actually vote in the election, or maybe it's because our country is at a crossroads this November. It is up to us Americans to choose which path our country takes. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would never have believed the citizens of this country would even consider the candidate that is so popular in this race. According to the latest NY Times poll, Barack Obama is now 14 points ahead of John McCain. I can't believe someone like Obama has gained the admiration and following of so many of the American people. Will people really ignore what evil Obama stands for and vote him in as the next president of our nation? I do not agree with Obama's socialist attitudes towards the economy or his ties with terrorists. I would have thought the citizens of this country would have laughed him out of the campaign...but no. Obama's stance on these issues concerns me, but his anti life positions are what really concerns me. Whether Democrat or Republican, prochoice or prolife, Americans should be shocked and offended by what Obama stands for. I know we could argue the abortion issue nonstop and still not reach an agreement if you are prochoice. I've heard the prochoice arguments of: a fetus is not a human yet, it's not alive until it's born , etc.
But the stance Obama takes is much more radical. What Obama supports is clearly infanticide. In 2002 a legislation was introduced, called the Infant Liability Act, and later in 2002 another federal law was introduced called the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. These acts called for government protection of infants who survive late term abortions. The legislation was pushed by Stanek, a delivery room nurse. She became passionate about this legislation after she repeatedly witnessed babies who miraculously survived abortions only to be left alone to die. If a "wanted" baby of the same age was born prematurely, the baby would be rushed into ICU and given the best of care to help it survive. But if the baby was an abortion survivor, it would be left alone, gasping for breath, until it finally passed away from lack of care and nourishment. She offered this testimony to Obama when he worked for Health and Human Services. Her testimony "did not faze" him. and he voted against the act. Obama said if the government was required to care for these infants it would, "create one more burden on a woman and I (Obama) can't support that." In Congress, Obama was one of the very few radical liberals who voted against protecting these babies...who are in fact citizens of the United States. Even other prochoice Democrats knew to vote against this bill would be going way too far. They joined with Republicans to help get it passed. Obama was one who repeatedly stood against it. Thankfully, President George W. Bush upheld the sanctity of life and realized it was his duty to protect these helpless infants, and the bill was signed into law. But what about when President Bush is no longer in office? What if decisions like these were left up to Barack Obama? Instead of defending our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, he has other ideas. Obama does not stand for the same values our founding fathers fought so hard to secure. He does not stand for the freedom our servicemen and women have given their lives to protect. He has other "new" ideas......ideas that have been heard before coming from the mouth of Karl Marx and other evil men of history. Are we going to blindly follow this man just because of his "charm" and speaking abilities? Many Americans seem to have no problem with his warped views on the economy, government control, and the sanctity of human life. I just hope and pray all of these people who are dedicated to him will be able to see the wolf in sheep's clothing before November 4. If America actually elects Barack Obama as our next president, I am sure our founding fathers will turn in their graves.
I am not scared for myself, because my strength and protection comes from the Lord and not an earthly government. I would just hate to see America elect someone who fights against all of the values our fathers have fought and died to secure. That would be a shame.
