: Fw: Thought you would find this interesting, we had discussed this

>>>
>>> It's an amazing time  to be alive in America. We're in a year of firsts
>>> in
>>> this presidential election:  the first viable woman candidate; the first
>>> viable
>>> African-American candidate;  and, a candidate who is the first front
>>> running
>>> freedom fighter over 70. The  next president of America will be a
>>> first.
>>
>>> We won't truly be in  an election of firsts, however, until we judge
>>> every
>>> candidate by where they  stand. We won't arrive where we should be until
>>> we no
>>> longer talk about skin  color or gender.     Now that Barack Obama
>>> steps to
>>> the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his
>>> race, and
>>> start talking about his policies and his  politics.
>>
>>> The  reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until
>>> August,  unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the
>>> frontrunner, and
>>> its time  America takes a closer and deeper look at him.
>>>
>>> Some pundits are  calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's
>>> the
>>> next George McGovern.  And it's time people learned the  facts.
>>>
>>> Because the truth is  that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator
>>> in
>>> the entire U.S. Senate. He  is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie
>>> Sanders, or
>>> Mrs.  Clinton.    Never in my life have  I seen a presidential
>>> frontrunner
>>> whose rhetoric is so far removed from his  record. Walter Mondale
>>> promised to
>>> raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern  promised military
>>> weakness, and
>>> he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal  domestic agenda, and he l
>>> ost.
>>>
>>> Yet Mr. Obama is  promising all those things, and he's not behind in the
>>> polls. Why? Because the  press has dealt with him as if he were in a
>>> beauty
>>> pageant.    Mr. Obama talks about  getting past party, getting past red
>>> and blue,
>>> to lead the United States of America. But let's look  at the more
>>> defined
>>> strokes of who he is underneath this superficial  'beauty.'
>>>
>>> Start with national  security, since the president's most important
>>> duties
>>> are as commander-in-chief.  Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about
>>> invading
>>> Pakistan, a nation armed with  nuclear weapons; meeting without
>>> preconditions
>>> with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who  vows to destroy Israel and create another
>>> Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is  murdering and starving his people,
>>> but emphasized
>>> that the nuclear option was  off the table against terrorists -
>>> something no
>>> president has ever taken off the  table since we created nuclear weapons
>>> in the
>>> 1940s. Even Democrats who have  worked in national security condemned
>>> all of
>>> those remarks. Mr. Obama is a  foreign-policy novice who would put our
>>> national security at  risk.
>>>
>>> Next, consider  economic policy. For all its faults, our health care
>>> system
>>> is the strongest in  the world. And free trade agreements, created by
>>> Bill
>>> Clinton as well as  President Bush, have made more goods more affordable
>>> so that
>>> even people of  modest means can live a life that no one imagined a
>>> generation
>>> ago. Yet Mr.  Obama promises to raise taxes on 'the rich.' How to fix
>>> Social
>>> Security? Raise  taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription
>>> drugs?
>>> Raise taxes. Free  college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise
>>> taxes. His
>>> solution to  everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother
>>> on
>>> steroids, funded  by your paycheck.
>>>
>>> Finally, look at the  social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open
>>> a
>>> stadium rally by saying,  'All praise and glory to God!' but says that
>>> Christian
>>> leaders speaking for life  and marriage have 'hijacked' - hijacked -
>>> Christianity. He is pro-partial  birth abortion, and promises to appoint
>>> Supreme Court
>>> justices who will rule any  restriction on it unconstitutional. He
>>> espouses
>>> the abortion views of Margaret  Sanger, one of the early advocates of
>>> racial
>>> cleansing. His spiritual leaders  endorse homosexual marriage, and he is
>>> moving
>>> in that direction. In Illinois, he  refused to vote against a statewide
>>> ban -
>>> ban - on all handguns in the state.  These are radical left, Hollywood,
>>> and San
>>> Francis co values, not Middle America  values.
>>>
>>> The real Mr. Obama is  an easy target for the general election. Mrs.
>>> Clinton
>>> is a far tougher opponent.  But Mr. Obama could win if people don't
>>> start
>>> looking behind his veneer and  flowery speeches. His vision of 'bringing
>>> America
>>> together' means saying that  those who disagree with his agenda for
>>> America are
>>> hijackers or warmongers.  Uniting the country means adopting his liberal
>>> agenda and abandoning any  conflicting beliefs.
>>>
>>> But right now  everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is
>>> and
>>> - yes - they're  talking about his race. Those should never be the
>>> factors on
>>> which we base our  choice for president. Mr. Obama's radical agenda sets
>>> him
>>> far outside the  American mainstream, to the left of Mrs.  Clinton.
>>>
>>> It's  time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of
>>> firsts,
>>> let's first  make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our
>>> president
>>> in a nuclear  age during a global civilizational  war.
>>>
>>>
>>> Subject: Kind of scary,  wouldn't you think
>>>
>>>
>>> Remember--God is good,  and is in time, on time--every time.
>>>
>>>
>>> According to The Book of  Revelations the anti-christ is:
>>>
>>>
>>> The anti-christ will be  a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will
>>> deceive the nations with  persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE
>>> Christ-like
>>> appeal....the prophecy says  that people will flock to him and he will
>>> promise
>>> false hope and world peace,  and when he is in power, will destroy
>>> everything.
>>> Is it  OBAMA??
>>>
>>>
>>> I STRONGLY URGE each one of you  to repost this as many times as you
>>> can!
>>> Each opportunity that you have to  send it to a friend or media
>>> outlet...do it!

>>>
>>> If you think I am  crazy..Im sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the
>>> 'unknown'  candidate
