This election cycle has many puzzled. Americans are voting against their own self and best interests. I will document in this post what I mean by that. I'm not just talking about Obama being a socialist or a pseudo-socialist. I'm talking about the gravity of the time and how polls show this country is a very confused one. Babylon in the Hebrew means "the land of confusion". Babylonians were a very confused people which lead to their downfall. Many people are wondering, including myself "why would anyone in their right mind vote for Barack Obama?" That is not a question easily answered. The only thing Obama has done is give reasons why to NOT vote for him. Let's look at his well-hidden history and you find me a reason why he could very well be the next President of the United States.
He started as a community organizer in Chicago. He represented ACORN in a lawsuit brought against former Il. Gov. Jim Edgar because Edgar was trying to block a law that was passed by the Illinois state legislators that would make voter fraud a lot easier. To make voter fraud easier in Illinois is like giving a gun to a maniac. The motto of Chicago is "vote early, vote often". That goes way back to the first Mayor Daley. His son is a chip off the old block. Obama also taught ACORN to help get out the vote in a program called "Project Vote". In 2004, Project Vote had a campaign called "votes for smokes" in which homeless people were enticed to vote by giving them cigarettes as well as other things as long as they voted democratic. I doubt many of them were republican to begin with, but to target homeless to vote by offering them things in return is wrong. The Obama campaign has given over $800,000 to ACORN's Project Vote. ACORN, a government-funded supposed nonbiased community group has endorsed Obama. ACORN has members in prison for voter fraud, and now they're knee deep in it this election year. The biggest problems ACORN has are in swing states. Obama also taught ACORN how to pressure banks and legislators into doing things against their own interests so they wouldn't be harassed. ACORN actually went to the homes of bankers to protest by calling the bankers "racist" for not lowering the standards of home loans. ACORN in the first proposed bailout bill was to receive $100 million. Luckily that didn't happen. So Obama was quite responsible for the culture of banks giving risky loans to people who couldn't afford to pay them back. Lucky for him, America doesn't know this because of his Obamasciple Media.
In that time he became acquainted with William Ayers. As many know, Ayers is a domestic terrorist. I can't call him a "former" one being that he has never apologized or even did anything but say he didn't go far enough. They served on two boards together. One was called the Annenberg Challenge where they gave money towards alternative education to Chicago schoolchildren. This was a nationwide program, but Ayers and Obama served on the board in Chicago. The money was supposed to find a way to raise test scores but failed. The Chicago program was to in Ayers' own words to "radicalize" schoolchildren to become more politically "aware". Obama was on that board to radicalize children. Another thing America doesn't know about, thankfully for him. The Woods Foundation was a left-leaning charity that helped give money to liberal activist groups such as ACORN and the Arab-American Action Network which was run by Rashid Khalidi, a Jew-hater. Obama was not only friends with Ayers, which he has lied about time and time again, but was also friends with Khalidi. Maybe even moreso. Obama spoke fondly about his dinners at Khalidi's home and Khalidi's wife's cooking. Obama said of his conversations with Khalidi were "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation -- a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table, but around this entire world." Obama threw Khalidi a bash for Khalidi going to Columbia University just in 2003. He can hardly use that same excuse about Khalidi that he used with Ayers that he was just a man in the neighborhood. The AAAN has been under investigation by the feds for possibly funneling money to terrorist groups and charities. Oh, if America knew about that one. Obama had very little success as a community organizer as he was ruled against time and time again on all sorts of lawsuits.
Alice Palmer, an Illinois state senator was going to run for convicted sex felon Mel Reynolds' congressional seat and gave Obama her blessing to run for her seat. Obama had his coming out party at William Ayers' home. Obama denied this at the debate but even Obama supporters claim that this is true. When asked if she set the whole party up, Palmer said "I wasn't there". With the Obamasciple Media having their lord's back, he is allowed to lie blatantly about this. As a state senator, Obama voted "present" 130 times. One of the votes he casted was to not make a hospital keep a baby that had survived an abortion attempt alive. He said it infringed on "Roe vs Wade", but even NARAL was okay with this law called "The Born Alive Protection Act" when it was passed nearly unanimously around the country. He also voted against forcing libraries to put in blockers in their computers to keep perverts from looking at porn. His votes that weren't "present" were very radical.
In 2004, Obama decided to run against Jack Ryan for US senator. Jack Ryan's divorce record with actress Jeri Ryan was opened to the public showing he was a pervert. This forced Ryan to back out of running since he was humiliated publicly. To step into his place came in Alan Keyes. He didn't come close to offering Obama the challenge Ryan would have given him. Ryan was actually poised to beat him. During his short senatorial career, Obama has not proposed one bill. The lower and middle class he claims he's so much for he never offered a proposal to help. He never proposed to lower taxes on them. Most of the time he's been a senator he's been running for the White House.
At a time as crucial as this one, Americans would agree that we cannot hand over the keys to someone with so little experience. Then you have on the other ticket John McCain, who is probably the most experienced person to ever run for the White House. We all know his trials and tribulations and he is admired by all for his diligence and toil for this country. So why would this country even think about choosing someone who has accomplished nothing against someone with more accomplishments than anyone who has run for President in this country's history? Confusion. We have terrorism, Russian aggression, China, Iran, North Korea all becoming major threats. We have a looming energy crisis for which Obama's only solution is for alternative energy, but what between now and when that is available? Energy problems around the world is giving Russia her strength back and Putin is looking to live out his Soviet dreams. The only thing that can possibly derail him is if this country decides to become energy independant now. We were at one time paying over $4 per gallon for gas and the ONLY reason why prices have gone down is because President Bush said a few simple words. "I will lift the ban on offshore drilling." The oil futures dropped drastically and continue to drop. All congress has to do is also lift the ban on offshore drilling, but the democratic controlled congress won't do that. A President Obama would make everyone buy back those futures since the dems aren't for drilling. That wouldn't only increase the price of oil, but will further strengthen our enemies. Americans are clearly favoring offshore drilling now. McCain has given them that promise that he would. Obama has not.
That's not the only poll Americans are showing their confusion with. Americans know that this is possibly the most crucial time in this country's history since the Revolutionary War or WWII and agree that McCain is a better choice for this time, but Obama is leading in the polls. When asked who would handle an international crisis better, McCain won overwhelmingly. When asked who was more patriotic, McCain or Obama, McCain won by an even wider margin. The only thing Americans vote that Obama would be better on is the economy, but at the same time Americans believe that raising taxes on anyone would be a mistake right now. Obama is promising to raise taxes on "the rich" which includes small businesses, which America is deadset against. Something doesn't add up other than we are very confused right now. America is looking like they are voting in spinning directions. America knows that McCain is the more qualified and better candidate, but Obama is ahead in the polls. Are the polls lying? Are Americans lying? The MSM is already playing up the "Bradley Effect", which I mocked in "The Day After The Election" saying if Obama loses it's only because of something that happened twenty-six years ago. If Obama loses, it will be because it's the "We Didn't Trust Obama Effect", again as I said in that blog. Maybe the people in the polls are just trying to not look racist by saying they're voting for Obama. Who knows at this point, but Obama is definitely very close to becoming our President during the scariest time in seventy years. Only the new Babylon would be voting for a guy who has a history of nothing but disturbing acquaintances to be their leader. If history is our guide, a President Obama does not foretell a good future. Perhaps the prophecy of the United States written in Isaiah 18:1-3 will come to pass. We are that nation which a great woe is written of. We just might go the way of Babylon.
