    When is Barach Hussein Obama going to accept John Mc Cain's offer to to revisit the troops in Iraq and accompany him to see for himself the success in Iraq created by john Mc Cains plan. Its not likely that Barach will take John's offer for obvious reasons, namely being too scared to set foot on Iraq or admit the obvious.

    After reading this article it is obvious that Obama has a "faith" that fits well with his subjectivist-relativist philosophy. Jesus doesn't appear to be very real to Obama--instead Jesus is a nice idea--a good teacher at best--but not God Incarnate which is what the Christian religion teaches. Obama's so called religion worships at the altar of the SELF---he thinks he is accountable to his own integrity--but no authority beyond his creed to "be true to thyself." In the end he is accountable only to himself--not to God--for Obama sin is simply going against one's own principles. Sorry ---This is not religion.

    Everybody has some sort of philosophy, whether explicit or implicit. I think people can lead diverse groups even if not everyone shares their religious views or lack thereof. But no one is completely neutral. It is impossible.

    On the left side of the political spectrum there is this guy who goes by the name of Obama; a man who attended four years a madrassa back in the days when he was a young boy living in Indonesia with his Muslim stepfather. And this man, whose full name is Barack Hussein Obama, goes about talking that he wants to change America. Does he want to change a country with the strongest economy in the world and where a construction worker can own a 4 x 4 pick-up truck and a Harley Davidson? (In South America construction workers live in shanty towns and second hand bicycles are all they can afford). And he is so adamant on insisting that he wants change, that he shows complete disregard for all the good things that America has achieved and which make of her the most powerful nation in the world. Yes, the left in politics means change, to change the stablished rules that gives stability and trust, as he wants to break up a stable system built on values and hard work to help the sniveling indolent, who slacks around in a world of self-pity, deepen the rut of his immoral circumstances. The left in politics is uncertainty, instability, black clouds on the horizon.

      Man have you got it backwards, that construction worker enjoys a middle class life style because of labor unions that have brought about a living wage and benefits on his behalf.
      The GOP has been working to destroy labor unions for the last 50 years.
      And that construction worker no doubt is in commercial construction, it is still protected by unions.
      Tract housing uses illegals for the most part, the american who used to do tract framing is the guy at the offramp whith the sign that says "need food please help" I hope you stopped and gave him a few bucks.

    Heanvn help us all why can I not really believe this person? Some on said "show me your friends and I will know you" I have never knew this man until last year when Oprah decided he should run for president. Maybe she should be VP. He looks like such a hipocrite, how can a real Christain believe in Abortion and gay rights. These are not Christian Values. For American Christians these values trump all other issues I and many others believe. He is able to recite and memorize anything he wants. He can say and do whatever he wants as if he is an elites and a very special person that cannot be contradicted by any Media, McCain is a real person, and has the scars to prove it. People wake up, he will roll anyone under if they do not complement his ideals, or hinders him in any way. Look what he is doing to his own wife, He is beginning to roll her under lilttle, by little and gently going under the bus. Michelle will not put up with her I hope she does not. Because he stifiling her real charactor and personality. She is not a happy camper I believe.

    Hey Chloe123 -- Obama has the intent to help others. What I woould like to ask you is - who has McCain ever helped except himself. Let's talk character. This is the guy who abandoned his disabled wife and 3 kids for a younger, richer beer heiress only to then abandon her after a stroke to learn to walk on her own.

    McCain never stopped this pattern either. He left his vallues behind to get into bed with the big corporations who will do anything to get and keep him in office. Because he will help keep them and us in Iraq. They can trust him - he's used to being a kept man.

    What corporations?
    Haliburton (moved their headquarters offshore)
    KBR (money machine derives from Iraq)
    Blackwater (privatized military accountable to no one)
    Big Oil (why we're in Iraq - and want to drill in our pristine areas)
    Telecoms (well - they want to take your free internet away - and McCain will help them)

    McCain is not your friend - unless you're a CEO of one of the above.

    I am a Thai by my geopolitical birthplace and of my parental certificate of Nationality. My mother was a discarded newly born infant Chinese baby taken-up into a Christian family and brought up in England. My best of friend is a devoted Muslim. My angelic mentors were my adopted English Auntie and Uncle who declared their firm commitment to Atheistic faith. 97 of 100 of my friends and comrades in belief of good causes are Buddhists. My wife is a Baptist by choice. I had been a TM Sidha student of Maharichi Mahesh Jogi, an ordained Buddhist monk and now a ???Born Again??? Roman Catholic in a land where Christianity is only a 3 % of the population. It is Vatican II that salvaged my faith in that; ???Only God has the only authority to decide who go to heaven and who do not go.??? Barack Obama is me and six billions of the brothers and sisters of on this planet we call home, the

    Obama can't help America for one simple reason: he is only one man. As long as we keep restricting ourselves to rule-by-single-leaders, we are doomed to corruption and failure. My vote is for the Metagovernment.

    Hey Sharenews, what do you think of this one...
    (CNN) ??? Planned Parenthood Action Fund is launching a new ad Wednesday in crucial battleground states set to highlight a campaign trail moment John McCain would rather soon forget.

    The 30-second spot aimed at women voters shows McCain's apparent unease when a reporter asked him last week whether it was unfair that some insurance plans covered Viagra and not birth control.

    "Ever use birth control? Than you'll want to hear this," the ad's narrator states before a flustered McCain is shown saying, "I don't know enough about it to give you an informed answer."

    Planned Parenthood spokesman Tait Sye says the ad will run in Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C. during television programs popular with women ??? including Wednesday's season premier of "Project Runway" and "Army Wives" on Lifetime. It will also air during Oprah in some markets.

    The group is hoping this issue in particular resonates with the broad swath of the women voters McCain is trying to court ??? according to one study Planned Parenthood cites 98 percent of sexually active women have used at least one form of birth control.

    The off-message moment stemmed from a comment by a member of McCain???s own team: national co-chairwoman Carly Fiorina, who had said earlier women often express frustration over the fact many health insurance plans cover Viagra but not birth control medication.

    A McCain spokesman later said the Arizona senator supported competition in the healthcare industry, presumably allowing women to nix policies that cover Viagra but not their specific needs.

    Hi News Sharer --

    A guy like McCain might sit in the pew next to me...or read passages out of the bible and not be on a Christian path - as evidenced by the fact that McCain left his disabled wife and 3 kids behind for a younger, richer beer heiress - whom he then left behind after she had a stroke - to learn to walk on her own.

    It's a pattern he has not stopped - he is now in bed with the big corporations who are leaving us all behind. He keeps trading up...not very Christian to me.

    I do the know answer -- but I'm waiting until you get it first. I'll give you time.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 07/15/2008 5:10:30 PM

      Midget, Now I know you are d*cking with me. So let it go. I am not even a McCain supporter ; You know that I am focused on supporting efforts with Hillary right now. I am just selective in here helping the underdog at times. Now let this one drop. You dont want to see me get mad as I will start plastering tons of Rev, Wright videos for starts. Case closed.

    BO belonged to the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago ("Unashamedly All Black") with his "father figure" Rev Wright. He had to severe his relationship (gee hurting him politcally?) - "He lost a friend in Wright???and he lost a home". "Obama tried to explain his relationship with his pastor, to appeal to Americans' sense of the best in themselves. He spoke of racial divides in America as "a part of ourselves we have yet to perfect," and of his pastor as a flawed, human creature." So now he is a "flawed, human creature". "Racial divides?" - this is an all Black church. We are talking twenty years of influence here - and let me guess things just changed overnight with the reverend right? Everyone is applauding him for being a good Christian. Are we all reading the same article?

      Did you take that directly from Rush Limbaugh's website? They should disable cut-and-paste, or at least make people they have a 3rd grade education before enabling it. Oh wait, then Rush wouldn't be able to do it either. What to do, what to do...

      • Posted By: darbyshaw @ 07/16/2008 8:24:59 PM

        All of this was my own comment on what is in the article and what is in the church's article in response to this. I am not a Rush fan at all, I did nothing more than read the article and take away what I am seeing and apparently what others are not. This is what this article is saying.

    This article completely nauseates me, and I mean that not in a self-righteous manner either - my stomcah is all in knots over what I have found out about this person. It did nothing to alleviate any of my fears about this person as a viable candidate; if anything it deepend them. The statement Obama uses, "I leave open the possibility that I'm entirely wrong", should be his campaign slogan, for it is what he believes about the state of his core beliefs. He was firm is his "community" until it was expedient that he dismiss Rev. Wright because it was not in his political best interest to remain in that relationship. Too late, the damage is already done. Over and over and over I find out more details about this man that instills fear, not hope. This article winds up near the end by saying that, essentially, Obama is without a foundation of faith that he will not set right until after the election. Is this the type of baseless, foundationless person you want as your next President? I sincerely hope not. Read this article again without your liberal or conservative blinders on and see this person for who he truly is, nothing more that a reed in the policitcal winds.

    FOOD 4 THOUGHT

    In July 1863, America was torn apart by civil war. Under the command of Robert E. Lee, the South attacked the North in a colossal battle at Gettysburg. Men fought in stifling heat. The smell of gunpowder, blood, sweat and death permeated the air above the screams of the wounded and sounds of death and destruction. Again, it was a grim picture for America. Nearly 50,000 Americans on both sides were killed, wounded or captured during the battle. This horror among brothers and countrymen was the turning point to a war that divided America and threatened to destroy the nation.



    Today, America faces another defining moment. Islamists control the lifeblood of the American economy--oil. Anti-Americans, who hold a view counter to the founding principles of the United States, are trying once again to destroy the nation through killing its unborn, destroying its morals with homosexual marriage, by curtailing freedom of speech, and by pressuring Americans to give up their faith in God, give in to worship of the earth, and to become part of a new age one world order. The anti-Americans have tried to capture the country using political correctness as their moral high ground and by confusing the nation's moral fiber through teaching a pagan path to eternity.


    This is a war more insidious than the Revolution or the Civil War for it is a war won or lost by the will of the souls it seeks to destroy. It is a war against captivity to an ideal that destroys the will of righteousness and questions acts of valor. And every American is a participant. Unless the righteous arise and take action our nation is lost. 2 Corinthians 4:8,9 says, "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." It is time that we draw upon the God in us to participate, motivate, activate and seize this nation from the impostors and traitors that the acts of great valor of those who went before us were not in vain.


    Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

        Share has been a McCain supporters since Clinton lost. She uses the bs about being undecided to spread rumors and criticize Obama every chance she gets. From Larry Sinclair to the stupid racist cover of the New Yorker.

          sj, I am not an Obama supporter and am not a McCain supporter in the sense that I want to vote for either of them as I strongly feel that Hillary was mistreated by the DNC and the MSM and support Hillary organizations efforts for getting her on the ballot. In the meantime, when I see an opportunity to be a devils advocate to obama supporter posts I do.

          But please get it straight. I never got into the whole Larry Sinclair thing back and forth with bloggers. Do not portray that I do cuz I do not. But I will make it a reality and join forces with HolyRoller if insist that I do. Believe me you do not want THAT to happen.
