Obama: I Cannot Tell A Lie. I Lied.

Posted by P.R.E.Z. on Monday, March 02, 2009 1:10:59 PM
The mantra throughout the 2008 presidential campaign was change. All of the things that Barack Obama would do to change what's happening in Washington. Yet this new Obama-nation sees plenty of "more of the same" with no change at all.

Obama ran a campaign based on rhetoric against President Bush and accused opponent McCain of being a carbon copy. Yet the changes that he's attempting are disastrous for this country and he's not making all the changes he said he would.

For example:

  • Terrorist prisoners in Afghanistan will still be held without a trial. He's O.K. with that though he made it clear he wasn't.
  • Those tax cuts for the wealthy we heard over and over that he said he was going to yank? Yeah. They're staying for the full run.
  • The Bush administration's assertion that "state secrets" privilege to avoid releasing information? Obama and his staff has made it clear three times that it isn't going anywhere.

It appears that the Obama staff are glimpsing the harsh realities of governing a nation and what that means. He may have talked a good game during the election but it was a different story when the perspective of..oh...truth set in.
 This stimulus bill will prove to be another, "Hmm. Maybe we shouldn't have done that" moment.

The Justice Department had to eat crow on their position to uphold telecommunications companies who can't be sued for helping the government in obtaining wiretaps in the interest of national security.

"The government is compelled to defend (the) statute as long as it can reasonably do so," spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement.

He really didn't want to say that hence the clause at the end. Regardless, this is not what Obama supporters want to hear.

"There are some troubling signs that can't be ignored," Anthony Romero of the American Civil Liberties Union wrote recently.

During his campaign, Obama swore he wouldn't take public funds for his campaign...and then he did. That should have been a red flag to anyone paying attention.

The Bible is clear:

But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one. (Matthew 5:37)

I don't expect Obama to follow that since he's not a Christian. Yes, I said that on purpose with full assurance that it's the right statement. Doesn't matter that he let the faith based initiative program continue (another hold over from the Bush administration) or that he went to Jeremiah Wright's church (who also is NOT a Christian). He may have the religious thing down pat, but he's not a Christian.

The bottom line is that he should have looked at things a little closer and said zero about which he knew nothing about to prevent him having egg on his face. Like now.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is esteemed as prudent. (Proverbs 17:28)

Follow along folks as the walls slowly begin to crumble, the onset of truth settles in, and a landslide of inept bureaucratic moves shows itself in the plain light of day.

Obama's Love Affair With Abortion

Posted by P.R.E.Z. on Saturday, February 28, 2009 12:00:00 AM
I don't understand the obsession that Obama has with abortion. It appears as if he's on a mission to systematically increase the mass slaughter of the unborn and he's willing to force medical professionals across the country to do it.

Conscience? We Don't Need No Stinking Conscience!

One of the last acts of the Bush administration was to pass a regulation that allowed doctors and health care professionals to refuse to perform abortions based on moral ramifications. A Health and Human Services (I just find that title ironic) announced that they will post their intentions and open a month long discussion on the issue from medical professionals around the nation as well as the public at large. That official did not want to be named because the notice had not been completed yet.

"It would be a horrible move. These regulations were a long time coming," said Tom McClusky, vice president at the Family Research Council. "What they seek to do is protect patients, nurses, doctors and other health care professionals from being forced to violate their consciences."

As always, it was the wording in the bill that is the bone of contention. Supporters said that is clarified federal policies and increased awareness to medical professionals about what they were allowed to do in keeping with their conscience. Opponents said it was too vague and argue that it would reduce access to health care services.

"I think it's a wonderful step," Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Abortion...errr...Pro-Choice Caucus. She's introduced legislation to overturn the regulation.

"That rule was actually a poorly drafted last-minute attempt to, I think, restrict health care access and I think it would have had far-reaching and unintended consequences."

The White House released a statement saying Obama supports a "carefully crafted" conscience clause, not Bush's version. In other words, make it more difficult for doctors, nurses, and others, to refuse to perform abortions.

The Change Hasn't Changed

In my post Four Reasons To Have An Abortion, I laid out the facts as to why people have an abortion. None of them are reasons. All of them are excuses. More importantly, as a Christian (a real one), we should oppose this kind thing at every turn. The fact that this man supports such a heinous act and calls it "health care" should be a big red flag. The Bible is clear:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)

Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border. (Amos 1:13)
We have to stand against this, pray against this evil and be what God has called us to be: beacons of light in a land of darkness.

Get on the horn right now and start giving your representatives and senators a call. Email them and let them know that you oppose this.

Obama: "I Screwed Up."

Posted by P.R.E.Z. on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 12:00:00 AM
No one is perfect. We all know that. Yet, from the way Obama was lauded as the answer to all of America's woes during the 2008 Presidential Election, you would have thought he could do no wrong. Well, reality has hit Obama...and it's not pretty.

The past couple days has seen two of Obama's nominations, Tom Daschle and Nancy Killifer, back out due to tax troubles. This just adds insult to injury as Bill Richardson also stepped aside from his nomination amid a grand jury investigation over state contracts.

As far as Obama being a good judge of character, this should come as no surprise. Remember, this is the same man who went to Jeremiah Wright's church for twenty years and defended him though he's a racist. The same man who had a relationship, however ephemeral, with Bill Ayers, an admitted terrorist.

This really isn't a glowing gift he has here.

"I screwed up," Obama said repeatedly when his nominees backed out. "I'm frustrated with myself, with our team."

Already he's had to backtrack and say he's going to bring in a "new era of responsibility". But...you've only been in office for two weeks and you have to change already? Of course he does. Remember, his whole mantra was change.

So far, Obama's vision and leadership is tore up from the floor up. Even senator Dick Durbin of Illinois admitted that "It really sets us back a step."

What we're seeing is a slate of things to come. The scary thing is that these people are running the United States of America.

Lord...have mercy.

How To Pray For Obama

Posted by P.R.E.Z. on Friday, January 23, 2009 12:00:00 AM
Well what many hoped wouldn't happen has happened. Barack Hussein Obama is the president of the United States. As we see this administration ushered in, what many people are saying is that we should pray for Obama. This is true. Yet, when we say that, what do we mean? How exactly should we pray for Barack Obama?


LORD, LET HIM FAIL

This, of course, is not what many Christians think about when we say we should pray for Obama. Many would argue that it doesn't foster the great commandment of love. That can't be further from the truth.

Barack Obama as president does not automatically mean it's a good thing for the United States. Socialism has proven time and time again throughout history to be the downfall of a nation. Infringing on the freedom that God Himself has given us and slowly taking that away is never a good thing. Praying for his success in supporting and strengthening the genocide of 3,000 babies a day is not what Christians should support. Being hostile to God's word, the principles this nation was built upon, is never a good thing.

We should pray against that and every other policy that is unbiblical, anti-Christ, and ungodly. We should pray that he fails in this and all others. That is love for our country, our fellow man, and for God.

Scripture points out over and over that when a king was chosen that they set the tone and reflected the spiritual condition of a nation. So Barack Obama as president is not a good thing. God is telling us something. We better listen.
CHANGE

The mantra that we heard throughout the election from Barack Obama was change. Well, there is some change that we should be praying for and that's Barack Obama's.

We definitely need to pray that Barack Obama would change in terms of him becoming a believer in Jesus Christ. As the old saying goes, he needs Jesus.

If you think he's a Christian, you are sorely mistaken. Let me be the first to shout it from the rooftops that Barack Obama is not saved. He's religious. That never saved anybody.

He's a humanist trying to masquerade as a Christian and it's clear that many aren't buying it (some for the wrong reasons but that's for another post). A life changing, mind altering encounter with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is what saves and Obama needs one....yesterday.


MY PRAYER

The prayer that should be going out across the nation and the prayer that I will continually offer up to the Lord Jesus Christ is this:
Forgive us Lord for being remiss in our duties, for compromising the values and principles which You put in place to make this nation great to begin with. We've failed in our turn on the watch and we've reaped what we've sown. Have mercy on us Lord.

We proclaim Lord that You are our God. You are our leader. You are the one who should be worshiped. You and You alone are the Messiah.

Give us the strength and the courage to stand for Your truth unabashedly. Let our lives reflect You. Let You be first and foremost in our thoughts. Let Your word rule in our hearts.

Lord God, let Your righteousness shine through this dark time. Let those in our government who are Your enemies fail at every turn. Let every policy, every bill, every law, every stroke of the pen that goes against You and Your word fail.

You alone turn the hearts of leaders and people. Let Your hand turn this nation back again to be a beacon of light and hope. Let those who would want to make this simply political have their eyes opened and understand that this is all spiritual. Send a revival Lord.

Lord, You have shown us where we are at spiritually as a nation. Have mercy on us Lord.

Turn the heart of president Barack Obama to You Father. Let him see the truth Lord. Let him understand more than he's understood before. Give him wisdom to deal prudently and righteously. Change His heart Holy Spirit to be saved from the wrath to come and serve You and You alone in spirit and in truth.
