Interesting!!
By: Bill Brown of the Billy Graham Team
Bill Brown is a highly respected retired member of
the Billy Graham team so I take his assessment of Obama very
seriously and for that reason accept his challenge to pass this on. I share
his concern about the 'rock star' image Obama has and watch with
growing concern at the celebrity status the media has foisted upon him.
Here is hope this email informs you in a wise way.
The Obama Tidal Wave
We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack
Obama of rare magnitude.
His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of
his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of
'Change' or that he says he will be a 'Uniter'.
The power of speech from a charismatic person truly
can be a powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham had charisma. Both his
manner of speech and particularly the content changed millions.
On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler, too, inspired
millions and the results were catastrophic.
Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham, but for many
Americans riding on the Obama Tidal Wave it is just
like a surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal
wave, but the reality of the ride is what happens when it hits shore.
Just Some of What Defines Barack Obama:
He voted for partial birth abortion.
He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government (quotas).
In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing as being too severe.
Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as
minimum wage affair.
Admitted his use of marijuana and cocaine in high
school and in college.
His religious convictions are very murky.
He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo
Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Has said that one of his first goals after being
elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim nations. Why?
Opposed the Patriot Act.
First bill he signed that was ever passed was
campaign finance reform.
Voted to allow law suits against gun manufacturers.
Supports universal health-care.
Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for
Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.
Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform.
Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate
in Social Security.
Wants to make the minimum wage a 'living wage'.
Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes.
(241 votes Demo, 10 votes Republican).
Is a big believer in the separation of church and state.
Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security
and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid into Soc. Sec. Tax
Increase.
He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax
which now hits middle income brackets. Tax Increase.
He voted No on repealing the 'Death' Tax.
Tax Increase.
He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax.
Tax Increase.
Has repeatedly said the surge in
succeeded...which is not true.
He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the
Senate today and that takes some doing.
If your political choices are consistent with Barack
Obama's and you think that his positions will bring
or make it a better place, then you will probably enjoy the ride and not
forward this Email.
If you are like most Americans that after examining
what he stands for, are truly not in line with his record, it would be
prudent to get off the wave or better yet, never get on, before it
comes on shore and undermines the very foundations of this great
Country. We have limited time to save
Inaction is action.
If you agree this is important, pass it on. The mainstream media will
not do it for you!
