Back to the original subject: Should Christians support Obama? No. NO ONE with even the slightest smattering of intelligence should support Obama, Christian, Jew atheist or otherwise.
I understand your view, but the fact is that many smart people of many religious stripes do support President Obama.

And many believe that he's bought and paid by his handlers. He has no business running a country let alone his own household. He's surrounded himself with inept people just so that he feels at home.
Do you speak German? Well I don't speak Spanish so maybe you'd better learn English.

The subject was.............Should Christians Support Obama!
Since that question was asked, this thread has gone from Abortion to the 911 atrocity.The next one that strays from the topic , gets it locked! "Good Grief" Can any of you flame masters just answer a question posed by the OP and let it go? Let me give you an example.


I'm a democrat Christian and my answer is YES!
I'm a Republican Christian, my answer is NO!


By the way Swampman..........No one asked for your definition of a FETUS, or a lesson on Scripture!
Keep it on topic or keep quiet!

Freedom Of Speech.....Once we lose it, every other freedom will follow.

America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President

When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.
Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islam’s activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith.
1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:
 
  • April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they “cling to guns or religion” and have an “antipathy to people who aren't like them.” [size=-4]1[/size][/url]

[size=-4]8[/size][/url]

     
  • February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress. [size=-4]9[/size][/url]

     
  • April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring.

  • February 2012 – The Obama administration forgives student loans in exchange for public service, but announces it will no longer forgive student loans if the public service is related to religion. [size=-4]16[/size][/url]
2. Acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith:

3. Acts of hostility toward Biblical values:

4. Acts of preferentialism for Islam:

  • 2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha. [size=-4]50[/size][/url]

     
  • October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House. [size=-4]51[/size][/url]

     
  • February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, [size=-4]52[/size][/url] but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do. [size=-4]53[/size][/url]
Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.

My post above is from Barton's Wall Builders website. I was going to post a link to it but the link is a post unto itself in a pretty good sized paragraph and would not post as a link.
 
I got this in an email earlier today. It's interesting how much of the Constitution is based on the Bible and biblical theology.
 
God in the Constitution
Is America's Constitution truly aGodless Constitution? The Founding Fathers who wrote and ratified it certainly didn't think so! Not only did several of the delegates openly acknowledge God's hand in its formation, but numerous of them acknowledged specific Biblical passages that directly affected its formation. For example, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and John Adams all credited Jeremiah 17:9 for providing the principle undergirding the separation of powers. The principles in several other Biblical passages were directly incorporated into the Constitution, including Deuteronomy 17:15 and the Article II, Section 1 provision that a president must be a natural-born citizen. Then compare the Article III, Section 3 constitutional provision regarding witnesses and capital punishment with Deuteronomy 17:6. Or the Article III, Section 3 constitutional prohibition against attainder (that is, against punishing the whole family for the acts of one of its members) with Ezekiel 18:20. And several Founders cited Exodus 18:21 as the basis of republicanism, found in Article IV, Section 4. Ezra 7:24 establishes the type of tax exemptions that the Founders gave to our churches, and there are many other passages that provide a direct influence on the Constitution.
 
We have produced a new CD or MP3, God in the Constitution, that points out the many reasons from our Founding Fathers themselves demonstrating that the Constitution is definitely not Godless. Hear what they say not only about Bible verses such as those above but also about how the Bible shaped the "Sundays Excepted" Clause; the Oath Clauses; the Attestation Clause; the Common Law; and many other specific parts of the Constitution.

Equip yourself (and others) not only with great insight into constitutional clauses but also with the information necessary to push back against the Secular Progressive Left and its revisionists determined to expunge religion, morality, and constitutionalism from American life. Order your copy of God in the Constitution today!

It's an atmosphere of 'Affimative Action'. These people in the present administration are largely 'Affirmative Action' employees that were promoted eventhough they are less qualified for the job and less likely to keep the oath they took to uphold the Constitution and duties of their office when they accepted the job. Let's face it, Obama is an 'Affirmative Action' president who only got the job because he is black. Not because he is qualified to be an American President. I won't even bring up his questionable birth place........OOPS!

Actually, he got the job  because he was voted into office by the citizns of our republic. He won an election, as called for in the Constitution. Heck, he even won the POPULAR vote, not just the electoral college vote... something that can't be said about the previous guy's first election to Prez.
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

Maybe. I don't know. The discussion is about Obama and thats what I posted about. Maybe you could start your own Bush bashing thread, if you want. But since you brought it up, whatever anyone thinks of Bush, his resume was far more extensive, professional and longterm than Obama's. He didn't get to be president because it was 'cool' to vote for a person of color or because it would make history because of his skin color. He had to get there on his merits, not his skin color. Lets see. Obama was a senator, (officially), for three years. Two of those years he spent campaigning for president and the year before that he didn't vote on any important legislation or voted 'present'. So without a proper resume to be president, the only thing left is his skin color and Marxist/socialist leanings and education. Not my idea of good qualifications for American President. The truth is many people that voted for him can't even tell you anything about him. Some of them even think that Sarah Palin is Vice President..........So that leaves us with nothing else but skin color for a reason for the ignorant to vote for him. The marxist, socialist and other radicals couldn't vote him in on their own without help. And to your earlier remark about "smart people support him", if you think the un-informed, marxist, socialist and other radicals are smart and have America's best interest at heart......then we are not on the same page, to say the least!
Smart seems to be an extremely relative term these days......... ;)

This nasty little comment and name calling just points back to my previous post about how Paulistinians can't stand the whole truth, and thats why they don't like Barton. Not to mention their temperment and mentality when they disagree with someone or don't know who or what they are talking about.
 
Good example!!.....Thanks!!

Maybe. I don't know. The discussion is about Obama and thats what I posted about. Maybe you could start your own Bush bashing thread, if you want. But since you brought it up, whatever anyone thinks of Bush, his resume was far more extensive, professional and longterm than Obama's.
I've got no particular desire to bash Dubya... Heck I voted for him, and twice.  I simply point out that Obama Has at least as much legitimacy as Dubya, and that Dubya's supporters - esp those who place emphasis on gays and abortion - are no more 'sophisticated' than Obama's core supporters.
On Dubya's resume... it is best compared with Gore's in 2000, and that was the contrast I had in mind.

And yes, I do believe that Barton IS a hero to Christianists and Birthers. Do you think that he is not?
On the posed question on whether Christians should support Obama... They should if they think he's the best choice for president. There is no 'right' answer, except for those that would force ideological political conformity on Christians. Lot of that going around.
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

My post above is from Barton's Wall Builders website. I was going to post a link to it but the link is a post unto itself in a pretty good sized paragraph and would not post as a link
no wonder Barton is such a hero to the Christianist Birther gang...

 
This nasty little comment and name calling just points back to my previous post about how Paulistinians can't stand the whole truth, and thats why they don't like Barton. Not to mention their temperment and mentality when they disagree with someone or don't know who or what they are talking about.
 
Good example!!.....Thanks!!

(shrug) Hillary is no heroine to me; I've never voted for her (or for her husband). I do think she's been a pretty good SecState, but heroine? Naw... you'll have to find something else...

Does being a pretty good SecState include conspiring behind closed doors with the UN, on the UN arms trade treaty. Obama is in full support of the AAT, as his girl Hillary leads international gun control. I figure if your beliefs line up with hers, then I guess she has done a pretty good job. Same thing as saying Obama has been a pretty good President.

Back to the original subject: Should Christians support Obama? No. NO ONE with even the slightest smattering of intelligence should support Obama, Christian, Jew atheist or otherwise.
I understand your view, but the fact is that many smart people of many religious stripes do support President Obama.

ironglow,
Actually, I heard they have changed the name of 'food stamps' to 'Obama Stash'. I've seen people on TV standing in line on the street and saying, "I'm here to get some of Obama's Stash". They even put his picture on them so everyone would know, with out a doubt, that he is responsible. He looks pretty 'cool' too. Like he just came from a late night talk show "slow jam".
 For me personally, I think it's an appropriate tribute.

This McNaughton fellow's mixture of fawning religious piety & political mythology is rich. I'd like to have seen his spin & idealization of this actual event - how would he characterize it?

We already know your anti-Christian, yellowtail. So why do you even jump on a Christian themed thread. Just trolling perhaps? All you've done on this thread is bash individuals and never answer to the the topics question and keep going off topic to hate on someone. Maybe you could find another outlet for your hatred. Maybe drag yourself away from the computer, go outside and take some new pictures of yourself holding a gun, like your hunting, for your avatar. We miss the entertaining pictures you used to post of yourself. As far as your claim of "rightwing mythology", feel free to start your own thread on the subject. Something else for me to ignore.........................
