Reluctantly Writing
I've debated posting anything overtly political, but there are few things on my mind that I feel as though I need to get out; if just for my sanity. I could break down every major political issue and give you reasons why I feel that Obama is the farthest thing from what we need as a leader. I think he is well spoken, decent looking, well mannered and very likable, but I fear what is beneath the surface do to the evidence of his beliefs: his voting record, associations and comments to name just a few.
For this post, I've just chosen to point out my uneasiness with one out of many issues: ABORTION
Watch This Video First!
When has a baby ever been punishment for anyone? This argument goes along with every other selfish, void of any responsibility belief that we are entitled to rights but in no way tied to responsibility. We want all of the goodies and none of the work that produces them. We want governement when it's convenient and demand them to keep their hands out of our lives when it isn't. We want freedom to venture and do what we want but refuse ownership when we fail. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around these arguments.
In his own words, "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act." You need to understand that in the words of the bill's supporters the act would abolish bans on partial-birth abortion and parental notification laws nationwide while implementing tax-payer funded abortions. The unbelievable thing about this is that all of these things are increcibly unpopular with most Americans! Yet we seem to have fallen under some spell that has caused us to abandon reason.
The mere fact that Obama could not vote for the born alive protection act causes me to shutter! Calling his voting record exactly what it is, he has no problems with infanticide! If you're not familiar with this act, it would protect babies who survive an attempted abortion. Otherwise they would just take the baby to another room and leave him/her alone until they die.
Furthermore, if you listen to his words in the clip, having a doctor come in to help a baby continue living who "accidentally" survived an attempted abortion is a burden!? And this is just too inconvenient because the mother has already decided to abort this child!? Even if you buy the argument of a fetus being less than human, we're not talking about tissue inside of a woman...we're talking about a living, breathing human being outside of the womb who under our no longer living constitution has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness just like any other human being inside these United States!! Yet Obama feels that it's just a burden! This is so beyond my capacity of reason. He is so far out on this one issue alone that it's not just a disagreement, it is mental retardation. I have no explanation for the comments and votes he's made on this issue other than he has to be mentally disturbed or sick!
Whether you're pro-life or pro-choice (by the way, "choice" doesn't make any sense to me. Since when did we ever have the right to choose something like whether a living organism gets to continue living or die? We choose which restaurant we eat in, which toothpaste we use, which music we listen to etc., but we don't choose who lives, who dies, or whether I just feel like putting a gun to your head, etc.) Anyway, whatever postion, could you support the Freedom of Choice Act, do you think babies are punishment, or could you possibly vote against the Born Alive Protection Act, 3 TIMES?!!!
This is just one issue as I've earlier mentioned, and I chose to write briefly on it due to its spiritual nature. I feel as though I could write a book on his stance on taxes, the economy, foreign policy, etc.
Please don't go on feelings alone (with any decision in your life quite frankly). Unlike the average American, I implore you just to read a little bit, inform yourself and make decisions at the very least based on rationale and information (not just from a major news network either)! There are great feelings from a lot of things that will make you sick. Feeling is not enough, nor is rhetoric. God help us.
