Where Does Obama Really Stand?

In his own words...

"I have actually been much more vocal on gay issues to general audiences than any other presidential candidate probably in history... I reasonably can see 'don't ask, don't tell' eliminated. I think that I can help usher through an Employment Non-Discrimination Act and sign it into law... The third thing I believe I can get done is in dealing with federal employees, making sure that their benefits, that their ability to transfer health or pension benefits the same way that opposite-sex couples do, is something that I'm interested in making happen... And finally, an area that I'm very interested in is making sure that federal benefits are available to same-sex couples who have a civil union... I, for a very long time, have been interested in a repeal of DOMA [the Defense of Marriage Act]."

"The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority."

Words to contemplate and remember.

Song of the Day

I'm feeling this one.

Holy Schnikes!

OK...so I caught a little of "Tommy Boy" over the weekend. Been almost a month since a post. Nice job Chris..."thanks". Feeling a bit cynical tonight so we'll see how this goes. I have no agenda for what I am about to write.

Question (ode to Dwight)...if Ralph Nader runs for President of the USA and no one cares, is he really running?

Brutal loss for my alma mater, Drake, in the NCAA Tourney. Iowa teams do not seem to fare well in that event lately. No idea if Iowa's ladies won today against Georgia or not. Should I know? Just be lucky I even knew who they were playing. Women's basketball...it's snoretastic.

I want to go to a church like Obama's. You don't get all that Biblical teaching...just a good rant every Sunday. Like the old Dennis Miller show...except with a good choir. Come on...we all know the government created AIDS. What's wrong with that point of view. Apparently nothing for Obama who continued to attend and never tried to distance himself from those views until he had no choice. Then again, that was the community largely responsible for his early political success. Kinda like rappers and athletes who can't leave their childhood homies behind when they make it big and end up going broke or going to prison because of it.

Finally got to the St. Louis Science Center. Only took 9 1/2 years. The kid to adult ratio there is about 6:1. I think they are plotting to take over...just like the squirrels. Does anyone out there hunt squirrels? Gimme a call.

Hey, it was snowing this morning! Happy Easter! I am going out on a limb and stating my belief that it wasn't snowing on that first Easter morning. Yes, yes...I know...Matthew 28.

I still use the same calculator I had in college. Texas Instruments makes a solid product.

Ever feel like you wasted a three day weekend? Not a good feeling.

Does everyone know when Saul became Paul? Don't say the Damascus Road. I learned something new today.

I feel like that's it for now. Thanks for listening...err...reading.

This just in...

It's snowing again.

Prozac...party of 1...your depression is ready.

I think there will be a special place in heaven for Eskimos.

"Oh the weather outside is frightful..."

Shut it.

Just so we don't forget...

This Presidential election is vitally important on numerous levels.

From FRC: New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (D) is pushing a bill in his state's legislature that seeks to declare abortion a fundamental right for all women. The bill would make abortions virtually immune to state regulation, end conscience protections, and most likely force the numerous Christian-run hospitals in the state to close rather than be forced to violate their faith by carrying out abortions or referring women to abortuaries. The bill also would expand the field of people who can perform abortions while eliminating the possibility of passing restrictions that have wide public support, such as parental notification, informed consent laws, and waiting periods. Governor Spitzer rose to power in New York State with tremendous support from NARAL and Planned Parenthood, mainly due to his adamant support of abortion and his unbridled hostility towards pregnancy care centers. Coincidentally the two leading Democratic nominees for President, Senators Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barak Obama (R-Ill.) are cosponsors of a similar bill in the U.S. Senate introduced by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calf.) that, if enacted, would effectively overturn most state laws on abortion. States, like Georgia, that are currently trying to reflect the pro-life majority among their population would be left with little choice but to subsidize abortions with taxpayer dollars if this legislation is passed and signed into national law.

This speaks volumes...

Both Democrats and Republicans share numerous faults and both are prone to intentionally misleading people in order to further their time in office or personal gain. However, I think when it comes to the security of this nation, there is only one party that has been consistent in understanding and facing those who wish us death and destruction.
