I find that we tend to get side tracted by focusing on one item, abortion. Most certainly, when this issue is the focus, the opposition takes the winning seat - Unfortunately, America has embraced Abortion - thus the opposition wins. Sure it’s wrong. God said murder is wrong - God said it, it’s truth. There’s no debate here.

Why not focus on practical issues that our country is facing right now. How about focusing on the fact that Democrats exhibit socialistic thinking and policies [take from the rich and give to the poor!] How about illegals/immigration, the war in Iraq, taxation [taking from those who work to give to those who do NOT?] These questions/issues need to be answered and answered directly to us the people! Are the politicians working towards a greater America, for the people - or working towards bringing this country to hit’s knees?

It’s time that Americans, not politicians take America back to our founding father’s concepts - “…For the People!” Our fat, indulgent, immoral government that exists today isn’t going anywhere and is taking the country down with it. This country is broke financially, morally, and it’s a mirror of many if not most of the politicians that lead it! Our country is disrespected and you and I, it’s people are burdened with taxes greater than WWII, and in greater debt - so much so that if the debts were called, we might be speaking another language tomorrow! Yet the spending continues, and promises of universal health care - who is going to pay? You got it, you and me, not the politicians or their lying promises.

Abortion is wrong. But abortion is only a symptom of a greater ill: America, it’s people and a corrupt government has lost it’s first love - a foundational commitment to God and Godly precepts in all areas of life. Wrong has become right, and the voices of the time issue mediocrity and “gray” areas in debates, silencing morality and the potential good for the people and for this country.

It’s time to take America back people - do the right thing, don’t “dance” to the speeches that tell you things are free [healthcare, room for illegals, etc.] if it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn’t truth! Somebody’s got to pay - aren’t you tired of paying?? I am.

It looks like Barry Obama has shown his true colors, doing that typical liberal political voodoo dance, hoping to hypnotize everyone into voting for his snake oil stances, and of course him! This guy does not have all his marbles in the right places, and it shows.I just wonder what his next political voodoo ploy is going to be. I’m ready to see “Johnny Mac” give Obama a political “Caining” by breaking Obama’s political voodoo spells when he “cains” and cracks Obama’s political snake oil jar.

I think you know that I am using Obama’s words. It was clear — just from the statements that he made at Saddleback — that he doesn’t understand the basic tenets of Christianity.

Obama said that being a Christian means “hopefully” that his “sins” will be “washed away.”

He went on to articulate a faith that is based on “works righteousness” not grace. He also doesn’t seem to understand that, even though God uses us to accomplish His purpose, He is responsible for the results — not us.

Clearly, this man needs our prayers.

In your column you called Barry Obama a Christian. I realize that you have to be cautious in your columns about certain matters such as a person’s salvation, but Obama has stated that there are paths to salvation other than just Christ. He is obviously ignorant of or doesn’t believe the Biblical verse where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” In addition, Obama’s former Marxist pastor, Jeremiah Wright, is full of hate and venom toward the United States and couldn’t lead anyone to Christ. Obama has claimed that Wright led him to becoming a Christian. It is clear that Obama being a radical on abortion and actually supporting infanticide, cannot know Christ. Obama may have mentally accepted some things about Christianity while not closing the door on the religion he was raised upon which is Islam.

Meanwhile, every time I read or hear something new about Barbara Boxer such as was in your column today, I can only marvel at her because she is a true piece of work. Bob Dole worked with many people during his many years in Washington D.C., and he said that Boxer was the most partisan lawmaker he ever dealt with.

No, you continue to strain the logic to suit your bias. Pro-choice is inclusive of both abortion and the right to life. Why do you focus upon one half of the wholistic viewpoint that is the pro-choice position?

This is the same sort of simplistic, digital thinking that put George Bush into the white house years ago and it’s the same thinking that McCain demonstrated for us at Saddleback. For all McCain’s “decisiveness” the press is touting as a positive trait of his, all I see is a self-assured hardliner who won’t be convinced that his belief might not be the correct one, and that to me is the mark of a dangerous man.

“..just as “pro-life” is code for anti-abortion. ” ”

Yes. The logic squares here because pro-life, unlike pro-choice takes an absolute stance on the issue.

It is interesting that most pro-choice abortion supporters are anti-choice when it comes to education.

Although, Obama has danced around the issue of educational vouchers, which would allow parents to send their child to the best school they can find for their child, Obama wants to give them only one choice, public education, even though in many areas private schools are better and more cost-effective for taxpayers.

Wearing bias on your sleeve, I see. Choice is choice. It’s like saying “biracial” is the code word for black. Surely you follow this “logic” — because it’s yours.
