I recall driving home that cold November evening in 2008, with a sense of doom and fear after learning that Barack Obama, the Illinois state senator whom I had met on several occasions when I was a writer for The Chicago Tribune, had just been elected president.
I kid you not — as I looked up at the clear night sky that evening, I saw a crescent moon and a star!
People at my office were angry at me the next day because I had told them that Obama would never get elected. I said that it was impossible, and that the American people just couldn’t be that stupid.
Not only were there plenty of stupid, low-information voters, but combine that with rampant election fraud and we now have the absolutely worst president anyone could have ever imagined.
The obvious concern is that President Obama will make good on his promise to fundamentally change the United States of America, just as he had promised to do on that windy election night in Chicago’s Grant Park. There he stood, looking down on all of his adorers as they wept, smiled, and cheered for their new messiah.
Barack Obama has something like the Midas touch, except that everything this man touches turns into something quite other than gold. He leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes, yet he enjoys the undying adulation of the media, elements of which act like a battered wife heaping praise on her abusive husband out of fear and post-traumatic stress.
He has been doing a terrific job of undermining everything from our military to marriage and family. His legacy in Illinois was that he was the only senator who opposed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, first introduced into the Illinois legislature in 2001. (President George W. Bush signed the federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act into law on August 5, 2002.)
Before voting “no” for a second time in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 6, 2002, Obama stated: “What we are doing here is to create one more burden on women, and I can’t support that.”
Well, what he did do was to create not just one more burden and not just only on women, but several more burdens on men, the elderly, the poor, the middle class, and even some richer folks opposed to his and his cronies’ agendas.
This man has no respect for life or for anyone who defends it. He has helped grease the skids for taxpayer money to end up in the big fat pockets of Planned Parenthood at the rate of hundreds of millions of untold dollars per year.
His administration has imposed its anti-Christian views and increasing laws on the necessary institutions of traditional marriage and family. We are now being forced almost daily to read about the latest state to embrace so-called gay marriage, with the disturbing obligatory pictures of two men or two women kissing on the steps of some courthouse on Main Street, USA.
This man has emboldened the radical homosexualist lobby to push for things that wouldn’t have been thought possible even 10 or 20 years ago. Just take a look at the emasculation of the military, where many high-ranking officers can now bully, to borrow a word from their lingo, lower-ranking members of the military to get them to succumb to their agendas.
I know that the Boy Scouts aren’t under the president’s orders, but what Obama has done with the military only emboldens other institutions to follow suit, which is what happened in this instance. The Boy Scouts now allow homosexual members.
I also recognize the fact that Obama is not responsible for every rainy day that we happen to get, but when the supposed leader of our nation has demonstrated so much proof of his disdain for our nation, it affects us all.
I also realize that we are supposed to respect authority and pray for our enemies, but it keeps getting harder all the time to do that. It is especially difficult to do so when we see the systemic slaughter, beheadings, and overall persecutions of so many Christians.
I remember thinking, whenever I read about the World War II atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis, that if I had lived back then, I would have done anything and everything possible to save the innocents from the concentration camps and gas chambers. Today — what can we do?
Lastly, I mention the Ebola crisis. Is it really a crisis or is it just the latest government false flag? If the Ebola threat is as great as has been claimed, then the president’s relative inaction is inexcusable. If it is only a false flag, then it confirms the unreliability and dishonesty of our government.
Pray that our Lord will have mercy on us all!
