Talk of The Villages Florida - READ ABOUT BARACK

Ken Blackwell -
Columnist for the New York Sun

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 lost.

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 audacit y 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 wi n 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.

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??
