The fact that Obama supports removing ALL restrictions from abortion, including partial birth abortion, is disgusting and shows his value system. No true Christian can really support abortion. Your "right to chose" ended when you CHOSE to have unprotected sex!! Remember, you are not your own, you have been bought with a price, i.e., the blood of the Son of God!!!!!
It's laughable to hear people use the foolish comment in support of abortion of "what about in cases of rape or incest". First of all, the number of pregnancies actually resulting from rape or incest in comparison to the number of pregnancies yearly is extremely LOW, secondly, the baby is NOT just the rapists' child; it is also YOUR child!!!!! I have never been raped, but I have personally know a couple of women who were and who got pregnant from that violent act. Both chose to have their baby, one gave the child up for adoption, the other kept hers, and raised her into a beautiful, responsible adult! Also, the daughter of my sister's friend got pregnant by her brother (she seduced HIM, BTW) and the baby born of that union was perfectly healthy and given up for adoption. Rape is an extremely traumatizing event; and I am not trying to minimize the pain; but do you really believe that murdering a child conceived from that act will somehow make it LESS traumatizing??? Why not make something GOOD come from it and give the gift of LIFE to YOUR child and make another childless couple happy by making them parents?!?!?
As far as this article goes, children should not be "involved" in politics as their capacity for reasoning responsibly is not fully developed/matured. They should, however, be raised by responsible adults with a value system, listen to their parents discuss situations, and taught to look at all sides of an issue before making a decision. The fact that the classroom full of children videotaped signing praises to Obama should show anyone how cullible children are. That video gave my chills to watch since it brought to mind the videos of children brainwashed into singing praises to "Dear Leader" in North Korea, Hitler, USSR, Venezula, etc. That teacher should be reprimanded!
Everytime I hear Obama's "take" on foreign relations, all I can see is the infamous photo of Neville Chamberlain getting off the plane in Great Britain after meeting with Hitler and saying, "Peace in our time!" Meanwhile, Hitler is back in Germany calling Chamberlain "a little worm". Obama understands foreign relations and dealing with hostile nations about as well as Neville Chamberlain did

TOO MANY PARENTS ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO WATCH WITHOUT ACTUALLY LISTENING TO WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT. MY KIDS DO NOT WATCH.

I grew up in a Republican family in a Republican state so I had a front row seat on their habits, hatred, greed, and racism. A Republican upbringing equals child abuse. When i hear people like Sara Palin declare herself a Republican, she is immediately suspect. What decent American would join such a corrupt hate group? Didn't she compare herself to a pit bull? That comparison is a warning right there. She is one swp('scary white person) and I am white. Her cluelessness + aggressiveness + arrogance = dangerous. Her way of thinking excludes many Americans.

Seriously, Palin Vs Ayers? That is the most ridiculous comparison I have seen in a long time. Palin is a moron and shouldn't be in this race at all. The meer fact she refused to answer a question in a debate is dumb, debates are made of questions that people want direct answers to not spin and for that matter she was already speaking to the American people during that debate, just thru a camera. Add to it her interviews with Couric were a testament to her lack of knowledge and ability to answer a question intelligently.
On the enviornment....wether or not you believe that global warming is an issue or not....WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO CONSERVE ENERGY, FIND ALTERNATE RESOURCES FOR THAT ENERGY AND JUST TRYING TO MAKE OUR PLANET BETTER AND NOT SITTING ON OUR REAR ENDS WATCHING AND COMPLAINING? I personally make a point not to drive if I don;t have to, recycle everything I can and in general use less. It's not hard and at the end of the day what's the harm in TRYING?
Kids get negative information from everywhere....enviornmental concerns are not just on Nickelodeon, they don't just come from Dems and schools are there to educate. Enviornmental concerns are education, kids are free to make up their own minds, we are born with free will. IF a kid plants a tree as part of an enviornmental project, who cares? You get more than environment edu from that...there biology and math as well. Along with recylcling in school, what can it hurt? It's all about being aware of your surroundings and not just following along with what the media or politicians say.
Now to brainwashing on Nickelodeon....come on! You have done the right thing in your eyes by not allowing your kids to watch. That is your choice. But denying a show because of a liberal slant could be harmful. Reason being is that if a network is that offensive to you based on politics maybe that would be an excellent time to sit down with you kids, watch the show with them and then offer a different opinion to the one on the TV. Seems to me like an excellent time to offer BOTH views with regard to politics or whatever is so bad on a kids channel in your eyes and let the child make up his or her own mind. My father did this with me about MTV in the early 90's and it has enabled me to look at both sides of an issue and see the good and bad in each then make my own mind up as to what is right for me,
Just my opinion:)

I was raped. . This is the only case when abortion is acceptable. If the woman has feelings of shame & suicide because there was sexual violence forcing her to have the child of the rapists is like raping her womb for nine months + eternity. Rape is hard enough. But sluts should pop the pill or use a condom or get an IUD. Yes I said," sluts." & I am not apologizing to those of you who are offended by it. You know who you are.

In your comments you have said you are a supporter of Palin.... what about her un-wed, pregnant, teenage daughter? You don't support the actions of "sluts", but you will support a person who was too busy to be a mother? As far as I'm concerned Palin allowed that to happen. At 17 years old,my mom knew where I was at all times, regardless of whether I was with a male or female, and exactly what we were doing. At 17 years old I still had my virginity! It's utterly hysterical how you contradict yourself on your own beliefs.
Boys and Girls... this is a perfect example of why it is important to think before you speak!

hi im 12 i dont live in america but i did ( im still american!) im really interested in the election. i dont like john mcain because he picked sarah palin after only meeting her a few times, in my opinion he picked her because her daughter is pregnant- he is anti abortion- i know im only 12 but i would be pro abortion, its not like women make these decisions without thinking! (anti abortionism from men can be sexist because their not ever going to get pregnant!!!) i like barac obama because he seems very fair and i think he would be very good for america, but is america ready for a black president???
there are my thoughts on the election!-

Thank God you cannot vote. It is aburd that you think it is sexist of men to be pro-life. You are a radical feminist in the making. You need to Google abortion and see what you are supporting. Im sorry you were brought up in a Godless household. I will pray for you conversion. '

i am sorry you can vote and how dare you tell a 12 year old that they were brought up in a Godless household. There is probably more love and devotion in that child's home than in many of the homes in America. This child does not need your prayers; this child is just fine!!!

Posted By: jmd8888 @ 10/10/2008 2:56:44 PM
"This Child is fine" - no child is fine if they accept muder of the unborn. It is my duty as a Christian to tell people of their wrongdoings, not to create an argument. Shame on you for not standing up for the unborn, but for those that condone this.
Peace starts in the womb.-

Unless, you truly are Christ yourself?!? If that's the case, it's great to know that heaven is hooked up to the world wide web!

I did not say that comment you were posting about. But if a child wants to discuss topics like abortion & degrade men in this public way. Her & her parents better be able to handle adults responding to her pathetic small-minded offensive statements. I have no problem with adults bringing clarity to my son's attention. I feel sorry for this girl who will probably one day have an abortion (mark my words if she'a a girl.) or encourage a friend to.. only to realize it was the most regretful decision a person could possibly endure. I will pray for her too. I pray she sees a video of an abortion before she grows up.

Wow... nothing like a couple of adults trashing a child's view on the world. Let her believe as she will. There is no need to be condescending , she will grow to either embrace or change her beliefs as she matures. Instead, thank her for taking interest in the race and expressing her opinions (whether they differ from yours or not). More woman in the world need to have a voice, and she's being taught this at a young age, don't spoil it! As an adult I am pro-abortion under certain stipulatons. It shouldn't be used as a form of birth control, but a raped woman should be able to abort a pregenancy due to the circumstances. Everyone is entitled to there beliefs and their voice, which makes this such a great place. Don't loss sight of that!

Posted By: stphie117 @ 10/10/2008 3:31:46 PM
Reality check : Most abortions are not done to help women or girls who have been raped. Most are done by women who spread their legs & simply don't give a damn about anything or anyone else afterwards. Also I want to state I am a woman. This child claiming MEN are sexist (Big word for a child.. wonder who taught her that?) is being sexist by saying this. Men are fathers. They are people , they feel pain when their unborn children are mutilated & thrown away. Why should we not allow them to have a vote on the matter. Just because the woman is trash doesn't mean the man has to sink to her level. Bravo for men who stick up for the unborn. I PROUDLY VOTED FOR McCAIN & PALIN btw. Do not believe the media they are godless & are selfishly trying to mislead the public. They did that with Kerry too. All they care about is botox facelifts, & liposuction. Hollywood worships itself.. & the media is it's ugly sister that follows behind. Celebrities are some of the most self-absorbed unstable people in the USA no wonder they all love Obama. Birds of a feather honey.

Abortion is traumatizing , emotionally , spiritually & physically. Sometimes doctors tear arms off of babies but because of complications they can not finish. So babies are born with missing limbs Obama doesn't think these babies deserve medical help he thinks they are simply trash.I am a women. I am pro-life. I know 9 women who have been permanantly scarred in various ways because of abortion. I think you need to grow up before making serious choices on a subject as grave as abortion. This is why children shouldn't vote.

One other question (since people have brought up abortion here) is how a person can be in favor of more legislation to protect other species (animals) and want no legislation to protect their own species. I know it isn't a case of them hating humans more than animals, and I'm not accusing people of saying that. However, if you support animal rights but oppose unborn rights, why is that so? Doesn't your own species (unborn human babies) deserve as much protection as the spotted owl?

"Next we'll be locking people up for mastribation. "That's an unborn person ready to happen!" Give me a break. If it's early in the pregnancy, it's no big deal. There should be safeguards to prevent it from being used in stead of contriception, but other than that no problem.

I will defend a female spotted owl's right to do with her eggs as she sees fit. And the same with human mothers. I personally am pro life, but I cannot and should not make that decision for any other person.
-
Posted By: tiredofextremes @ 10/10/2008 5:44:22 PM
I can see your point and I respect your opinion. However, it's illegal to destroy those eggs, right? The momma owl has rights, but so does the unborn chicks. That was the issue I raised, how one species unborn has legislation to defend it, but our own species does not. It's a position that I find confusing, and I guess I was looking for some coherent, non-flamed-sprayed explanation of why people support the seemingly double-standard.

Prevention and contraception are the answer not litigation!!

Dirty abortion dead mother-murderer = instant death penalty. Btw there would be less abortion.. & probably a hell of a lot more education on contraception.. & I promise less abortion.

Obama bought the ad because he knows how important it is to let people know how he's going to start fixing this mess our economy is in (not that any one elected this year is going to be able to really fix it; we're in pretty deep--but we can start turning the economy around). McCain is doing nothing to tell us what he'd do to help our economy or help the millions of regular folks worried about their jobs, their homes, their health care coverage, and their children's future. He's dropping a half billion dollars that regular people like ME gave him to use to get his message out.
Go ahead, vote for McCain--and vote in 4 more years of the same FAILED policies that got us into this financial mess in the first place.-
Posted By: denestu @ 10/10/2008 1:07:05 PM
BrookValley I mean no disrespect and I believe that you have the right to your opinion; but I just disagree with you wholeheartly. I have listened intently and read Obama's speeches and I have even went and viewed his voting record; and I cannot find anything that suggests change. He has more NV that he does votes and I didn't find one bill that he sponorsed and he hasn't reached across parties on any bills sponorsed by another party (Independent or Republican). During the town hall debt the other evening I kept waiting for him to map out his plan or even give a suggestion on how he plans to implement and pay for his policies and I didn't hear anything. I did however hear McCain suggest some ways his plans to implement and pay for his policies. He suggested buying the mortgages and reducing the interest rates so that people would actually be able to pay for them and he also suggested that a spending freeze to take place on a lot of government spending-except on those programs that are absoultely necessary-such as vet. affairs, medicare and self denfense (we are still in a war). I know that these things are not going to fix all the problems and we are still in a very large economical struggle, but at least he has offered some choices-I haven't heard a clear suggestion one from Obama or how he is going to implement it. I have also looked up McCain's voting record and I have found several bills that he sponorsed and where he reached across parties lines supporting bills sponsored by Reid, Kennedy and Feingold. I know that this won't change your mind on who you support, but please realize that McCain isn't Bush (they just share the same party) and he has his own policies and stragetic ways to get America back on track. Respectfully disagree.

Posted By: denestu @ 10/10/2008 5:39:46 PM
I think that you better ask yourself that same question. Obama has all these polices that he is going to implement and still cut taxes for 95% of the people; how is he going to do that? I have not once heard him state how is going to pay for all of the programs he plays on giving the American people. He talks very well and his presentation is good; but he doesn't say anything; he talks in circles. Put some ideas out there and tells us how he would like to go about getting them done; haven't heard anything yet. I have looked at his record; have you? He seems to be a follower not a leader.

I would like to agree that Obama should not be honored by the Amercian people by watching his half hour ads; there are people losing jobs and homes and he is going to drop that kind of money on campaigning? I just don't understand how someone that is preaching change can justifably spend that kind of money when the economy is taking such a downfall. Where is the change? And as far as McCain stating that you have to prove that you are better; I agree! I tell my children that they are being put down as not good enough; I tell them to work harder and prove them wrong and they do!

If you can't reply intelligently you really shouldn't reply at all. There are many Americans out there that own more than one home; it is called investing and just because a person is running for office shouldn't exclude them from investing in there own future.. Maybe you should get your head out and start speaking about ideas instead of hurling insults to those that actually support ways to help. if you believe that dropping that amount of money to blow smoke and lead people in the wrong direction then you are definitely voting for the right person. His economic package is going to raise capital gains tax, small business are going to have hight employment taxes which is going to make them cut jobs; not to mention under Obama health care plan they are going to be required to provide health insurance--this means that jobs are going to be lost because they are not going to be able to expand because of the high taxes they are going to buried under, look at the facts before you start being disrespectful.

If you don't want to watch the Obama ad - then don't; however, I want Senator Obama to get the word out about his plans for this country - and if a half-hour ad on TV is a way then so be it. I rather watch his ad then listen to Palin accused him of consorting with Ayers and not mention a thing about how her HUSBAND was (is) a member of a treasonist group that wants Alaska to separate from the United States of America..

I agee with stphie117 because it doesn't matter how far the baby has developed, it's still a human being. Just because you can't look it in the eyes doesn't mean it's not a HUMAN BEING. Just because it can't stand up for itself doesn't mean it should be legal to KILL IT. I mean, its not the baby's fault it was conceived. THINK ABOUT IT. You wouldn't take a half- raw cookie out of the oven because you made five, and you can only eat four. It just means that you would suck it up and bake the stinkin' cookie to give to your brother later. Similarly, you wouldn't murder a baby while it is being developed. Give the HUMAN BEING a chance and think about giving the baby a LIFE. No wonder this country's going down the tubes. It takes a fourteen year old freshman in high school to HUMAN BEINGS that it is not okay to murder other HUMAN BEINGS.

I think that it is really great and amazing that kids are interested in what is going on in this world. I agree with them that the number one concern is our lack of respect for the environment. Sure money is tight, budgets are falling apart, the market is in shambles, but if we slowly destroy the only place that we have to live, the only water we have to drink... what does anything else matter? Way to go kids, stay informed. I am so proud of you all.

Fantastic article. I've always thought Linda Ellerbee had a wonderful way of speaking to children.

Might as well let kids vote. They would be as informed as many adults.

ObamaFan13! Way to be sharp and look at the reality of Palin's experience or lack thereof! When Obama went overseas to meet foreign diplomats, he tried to build conections. Palin talked tough about Rusia trying to antagonize. That is all this Republican ticket knows! Tear down and antagonize! They don't know how to build consensus or work with other viewpoints to forge a decent, bipartisan solution.

tracerbullet...
My point is simply that creating a law or laws for that matter based on my personal faith that limit the rights of other people is not right. When you make laws, for example, abortion illegal and denounce any who does it a murder because YOU believe that the life starts at conception...then you are making your private faith, public policy. I personally am not pro-abortion...I'm pro-life...but we live in a pluralistic society so to say that my view represents the masses is not logical. The part that gets my goat I guess is when people throw Jesus under the bus acting as if He is the reason they are forcing their opinions on ALL of society. I have free will for good reason...even Christ lead by EXAMPLE not FORCE. I'm all for faith and the importance and relevance of it in our lives...I'm even for making our faith known to those that we will elect or choosing them because they represent our value systems. But when we get into the muddy territory of JUDGING others and downright being UTTERLY NEGATIVE about opposing views...well then you've stepped right outside the Christ argument. We are to be LIVING EXAMPLES of the TRUTH...that's it...not go around bashing folks that don't believe as we do. And we wonder why Christians get a bad rap...some of us are the most judgmental and hypocritical folk around. Not judging doesn't mean we accept it as truth
