Obama Bi-Partisan? Not When it Comes to Life

During Obama’s Presidential campaign, he had stated that he would be a bi-partisan President. He pledged that he would “reach across the aisle” to include all political parties in order to bring the “change” that this country needs. However, when it comes to matters of life he has proven to be unequivocally unilateral.

On January 23rd President Obama signed an executive order to repeal “The Mexico City Policy,” which protected Americans from being forced to financially support (with our tax dollars), groups who actively promote and pay for abortions internationally. In anticipation of this executive order 77 members of Congress, (in an “open letter” to Obama) urged the President not to repeal the Mexico City Policy. These members of Congress began the letter with a direct appeal to President Obama to work “as you have pledged, to create a new era of bi-partisan cooperation.” However, with one stroke of the pen President Obama clearly indicated how willing he is to “create a new era of bi-partisan cooperation.” He isn’t, especially when comes to the right-to-life of the unborn.

The repeal of the Mexico City Policy will not only force Americans to support abortion on a global scale; it will also give the rest of the world the impression that the United States actively supports abortion as a form of population control. And in my opinion, this is genocide; the systematic destruction of human life. Most of the countries that will benefit from this order promote and perform abortions specifically for the purpose of population control. And now your tax dollars will provide for the murder of over 50 million unborn children worldwide.

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council told the Washington Post concerning Obama’s action, “President Obama issued executive orders banning the torture of terrorists but today signed an order that exports the torture of unborn children around the world."

There are three things that belong directly to G-d; Life, Marriage and Israel. President Obama has clearly shown how he feels about life by signing this order. He has also indicated early on how he feels about marriage. And frankly, I’m not certain that he is a friend of Israel. Only time will tell. But, will there be enough time to tell?

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendents” – Deuteronomy 30:19 (NASB).

Clearly, it is critical that every believer in Yeshua (Jesus) pray for G-d’s continued mercy upon this nation and upon our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). And it is more important than ever to pray for our President and those in leadership who are in direct opposition to the will of G-d and His Word. And it is my personal prayer that the Body of Messiah stand up and speak for those who are not able to speak for themselves; namely, the unborn (Proverbs 31:8-9). Shalom.

Inaugural Prayer: White Embrace Right?

My only comment on this: I can't even begin to imagine what would've happened if this prayer were done by a white minister.

Right to Life: Undeniable

Senator Inhofe speaks concerning the Right to Life. Please listen to these very important words concerning the right to life of the unborn.

I pray that more leaders of this nation have the courage to speak out against abortion in support of the unborn.

Thank You President Bush

Thank you President Bush for keeping this nation safe and for being a friend of Israel. May the L-RD bless you and keep you.

Inclusive Inaugural Prayer

Like many I was compelled to watch the inauguration of the 44th Presdient of the United States "Barack Hussein Obama." And like many I was amazed at the celebrity-type reception that was given to Obama. I was also very disappointed at the immature display of behavior towards out-going President George Bush by Obamanites. However, all that seemed to be expected considering all that took place during the primaries and the campaign of Obama.

What I was most disappointed in was the man-pleasing prayer offered up by so-called evangelical leader, Pastor Rick Warren. Now, I do not have anything against this man. Nor, am I against praying for Obama and his family. What concerned me most was the all-inclusive prayer he gave. I am not opposed to praying for those of different faiths, I pray daily that they would come to know Messiah. However, the Messiah that Pastor Warren prayed to may have been a different Messiah; one, who regardless of belief is Lord of.

Athough Messiah Yeshua is L-rd of all; He is not everyone's L-rd:

"Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of G-d says, "Yeshua is accursed"; and no one can say, "Yeshua is L-rd," except by the Holy Spirit" - 1 Corinthians 12:3

Pastor Warren closed his prayer with the following words:
"I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus (Spanish), Jesus, who taught us to pray"

Now, although I am glad that Pastor Warren called Jesus by His Hebrew Name Yeshua, I believe that Warren was trying to appease the Jewish audience, rather than honor our L-RD Yeshua. Although Yeshua is the Hebrew Name of Messiah, and Messiah is Jewish, most Jews don't accept Yeshua as the Messiah. Instead, He is merely a prophet, a good teacher or a moral man. To most Jews, (except Messianic Jews) He is not the L-rd of all.

What I was most concerned about was his desire to please the Muslims in the audience by calling Jesus "Isa." This name is not the name of the same Jesus that I believe in; Isa is not the Jesus of the Bible for the Messianic Jew and the Christian. Isa is the Jesus of the Koran, who will one day return with Allah (not G-d), as a his servant and convert the world to Islam.

"Thereupon she pointed to him. They said, 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' Isa said, 'I am a servant of ALLAH" - Surah 19:30

In his prayer Pastor Warren also refers to G-d as the "merciful and compassionate one." Again, Pastor Warren decides to call upon the god of Koran, who is called the merciful and compassionate, a title given to Allah.

What Pastor Warren did (in my mind) was give credence to Islam and to their mission; that one day, even those who call themselves Christians and Jews will be converted to Islam. And all will serve Allah.

I can't believe that Pastor Warren was this ignorant in using this name of Jesus, except that he called Jesus Isa simply to please the masses.

This nation is in for some interesting times; and believers should take great care to pray for each other's well-being and safety during the times to come. Yes, change is on the horizon, and it is not going to be good...,

"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of G-d? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Messiah" - Galatians 1:10

The UN Bailout of Hamas

By Joseph Klein
FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, January 13, 2009

The United Nations has been working especially hard in recent days to bail out the Hamas terrorists from the prospect of a devastating defeat at the hands of Israel.

Hamas caused the present conflict by its unprovoked firing of hundreds of rockets deeper into Israel, targeting Israeli civilians for death and terrorizing its women and children. Hamas, not Israel, unilaterally decided against extending the six month ceasefire that had expired in mid-December 2008, which Hamas had been violating anyway. After clear warnings to stop the rocket fire which went unheeded by Hamas, Israel responded with military force in self-defense pursuant to Section 51of the UN Charter.

Barack Obama: Indonesia Citizen?

Children of Hamas

The UN has been silent to the following criminal activities of the Hamas terrorist organization:
1. Hamas has violated the rights of the Palestinian children abusing them, brainwashing them and inciting them to hate and kill.
2. Hamas has deliberately and exclusively fired missiles at Israeli civilian populations hoping to hurt as many civilians as possible. In 2008 alone, Hamas fired 3,278 rockets and mortars from Gaza to Israeli cities.
3. Hamas has been firing these rockets from within densely populated areas using the Palestinian people as human shields. Mosques, hospitals, kindergartens and children are criminally being used as human shields by Hamas operatives.

Enough is enough. UN: your silence to this brings shame to your institution.

Inspired Jihad?

Apparently, the "Yes We Can" slogan doesn't only apply to Presidential elections.

In Antwerp, Belgium, Jewish hatred is spreading as riots conducted by Eurabians have sealed off Jewish neighborhoods.

"How do you protest violence against a civilian population? Attack a civilian population, of course. These riots were expected, given the massive incitement that accompanied the organization of the demonstrations" - Source: Islam in Europe.

How long will it take before, we see the spread of Jewish and Christian hate in America? Oh wait..., on second thought, maybe it's already here.

2008 Military Times poll: Wary about Obama

Troops cite inexperience, Iraq timetable
By Brendan McGarry

When asked how they feel about President-elect Barack Obama as commander in chief, six out of 10 active-duty service members say they are uncertain or pessimistic, according to a Military Times survey.

In follow-up interviews, respondents expressed concerns about Obama’s lack of military service and experience leading men and women in uniform.

“Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief,” said one lance corporal who asked not to be identified.

For eight years, members of the U.S. military have served under a Republican commander in chief who reflected their generally conservative views and led them to war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Now, the troops face change not only at the very top of the chain of command, as Obama nears his Jan. 20 inauguration, but perhaps in mission, policy and values.

Underlying much of the uncertainty is Obama’s stated 16-month timetable for pulling combat troops out of Iraq, as well as his calls to end the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy to allow gays to serve openly in the military, according to survey responses and interviews.

“How are you going to safely pull combat troops out of Iraq?” said Air Force 1st Lt. Rachel Kleinpeter, an intelligence officer with the 100th Operations Support Squadron at RAF Mildenhall, England. “And if you’re pulling out combat troops, who are you leaving to help support what’s left? What happens if Iraq falls back into chaos? Are we going to be there in five years doing the same thing over again?”

When asked who has their best interests at heart — Obama or President George W. Bush — a higher percentage of respondents picked Bush, though Bush has lost ground over time. About half of the respondents said Bush has their best interests at heart this year, the same percentage as last year but a decline from 69 percent in 2004.

Nearly one-third of respondents — including eight out of 10 black service members — said they are optimistic about their incoming boss.

Even some service members who voted against Obama — only 1 in 4 supported him over Sen. John McCain in a pre-election survey of Military Times subscribers —now express goodwill toward him as their new commander in chief.

“Overall, the prospect of having someone who isn’t necessarily tied to old strategies is a good thing,” said Air Force Master Sgt. David Ortegon, who said he voted for McCain. “Sometimes you need a fresh perspective to be able to handle our military readiness and the needs of the nation.”

The findings are part of the sixth annual Military Times survey of subscribers to Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times newspapers. This year’s survey, conducted Dec. 1 through Dec. 8, included more than 1,900 active-duty respondents.

The responses are not representative of the opinions of the military as a whole. The survey group overall under-represents minorities, women and junior enlisted service members, and over-represents soldiers.

But as a snapshot of the professional corps, the responses highlight the challenges Obama faces as he prepares to take command of military careerists with different political and cultural attitudes.

In keeping with previous surveys, nearly half of the respondents described their political views as conservative or very conservative. Slightly more than half said they consider themselves Republicans, 22 percent independents and 13 percent Democrats.

Peter Feaver, a political science professor at Duke University who has written extensively about civil-military relations, said a degree of uncertainty among service members toward Obama is appropriate, given their questions about how he will govern as commander in chief.

“Those numbers don’t convince me he has got a big problem on his hands because what he is seeing is not military hostility, but rather military caution, and caution that is reasonable because he has never been in the position of this office,” Feaver said. “It’s sensible and understandable that they have doubts about him.

“They respect the office of the commander in chief,” Feaver said. “As long as he wields that office responsibly, then these numbers need not morph into a problem.”

David Segal, a military sociologist at the University of Maryland, said respondents’ optimism toward Obama can be partially attributed to confidence in his military advisers, including Richard Danzig, former secretary of the Navy, and retired Gen. James Jones Jr., former commandant of the Marine Corps and NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

On Dec. 1, the day the survey was released, Obama announced his national security team, including Jones as national security adviser and Robert Gates, a holdover from the Bush administration, as defense secretary.

“There is an understanding that the president doesn’t do all his own paperwork,” Segal said. “The quality of any president is going to depend on the quality of the people he has around him.”
