The “Religious Right” is a term used in a derogatory manner to discount people of a certain moral and spiritual persuasion. I would be counted as part of that group . . . and I do recognize that some segments of the group interpret their spiritual and moral positions too broadly.
But though I am a registered Republican, I must say this: God isn’t. Republicans, like Democrats, have their share of skeletons in closets; they have their share of backroom backslapping perpetuating good-old-boy networks; they take their share of all-expenses-paid junkets; and vote for their share of pork in the form of earmarks. There are good people and not-so-good people in the GOP. Many are nominal Christians, or not Christians, or hypocrites. But many are decent, Bible-believing folk of moral persuasion.
But God is not a Republican. Though I find it difficult to understand, I will concede that there are people of faith on the other side of the aisle as well. In order to be there, they must hold certain values, or planks in the Democratic platform, above the one that many, including me, think the most important—the party’s stand on abortion.
It is difficult to know if any candidate is genuine. People nearly always disappoint. That’s why it is crucial to look not at how charismatic an individual might be, but what an individual’s record has shown him to be. The IRS allows non-profits to take stands on issues . . . and I think we should stand with God.
For you see, while God is not a Republican, the Bible clearly tells us He is pro-life.
Deuteronomy 30:15-20, describing a pivotal time in Israel’s history, just may be applicable right now to the old U.S. of A.
“See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” (NIV)

Gianna Jensen Born-Alive Abortion: "If Obama had his way I wouldn't be here."
Staggering interview. Obama without defense.
Watch this remarkable video clip of an amazing young woman who says, "If Obama had his way I wouldn't be here."
"I was being burned alive."
"I'm unashamedly a Christian. I can't walk without the assistance of God."
Powerful clip from Hannity and Combes. Look how pathetic Combes appears while trying to defend Obama against this long-shot survivor of Obama's infanticide policies.

The Next “Pro-life” Horror Story
He is the son of Francis Schaeffer, who was a significant Christian theologian who positively influenced evangelical conservatism.
In a bitter diatribe against conservative leaders called “Why I'm Pro-life and Pro-Obama,” on huffingtonpost.com, Frank Schaeffer, rather disingenuously claims one can be both.
Not possible.
Here is how Schaeffer reconciles the two:
“Today when I listen to Obama speak (and to his remarkable wife, Michelle) what I hear is a world view that actually nurtures life. Obama is trying to lead this country to a place where the intrinsic worth of each individual is celebrated. A leader who believes in hope, the future, trying to save our planet and providing a just and good life for everyone is someone who is actually pro-life.”
Pious platitudes. Political and theological double-speak from a supposed thinker. This rationalization is so thinly veiled, no one can seriously consider this to be thoughtful, or even articulate, writing. It is propaganda, pure and simple.
“A world view that actually nurtures life”? Save us from that kind of nurture.
Save is from that kind of “intrinsic worth.”
Save us from that kind of “celebration.”
Save us from Schaeffer’s unsupported generalizations.
“A leader who believes in hope, the future, trying to save our planet and providing a just and good life for everyone is someone who is actually pro-life.” He actually said this, I’m supposing, with a straight face.
Schaeffer is saying Obama is really a good guy.
So what if he supports the calculated dismemberment of tiny human beings; so what if he coldly refuses help or even comfort to dying, suffering children whose abortions failed, opting to let them suffer through their last feeble gasps at life in a corner room on soiled linen. This doesn’t matter. After all, he “believes in hope, the future, trying to save our planet and providing a just and good life for everyone”—everyone? So a few million tiny infants must suffer and die on his watch; he’s really a good guy at heart. Obama “is actually pro-life.”
Right.
Frank Schaeffer has departed, more than once, from the path of his famous, Godly father. One of those departures led him into the movie industry where he made B-rated horror flicks.
He’s at it again, contending against his dad’s legacy, not just with his anti-pro-life stand, but also with his lack of intellectual reasoning. His editorial reads like a script for one of his horror flicks. The evil scientist beckons: “Come into my parlor. Don’t be afraid. I am good and kindly … and actually pro-life.”
I fear the next horror story is being written now. It’s called “The Obama Presidency.”
For the sake of countless tiny lives, I hope it is never released.

Obama's First Act as President
Again, in his own words, listen to what he would do first as president.
Obama: Saving a Baby's Life Is a "Burden"
Again, Obama's own words condemn him. We shouldn't be voting for this man for PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES, we should be trying him as an accomplice to horrendous crimes! How can anyone be unmoved after seeing this? Listen to how coldly he dismisses an infant's right to life.
Proof That Obama Wants to Redistribute Your Money
This has recently come to light. It got a million and a half views on YouTube in its first day up. National press is giving it exposure. Again, Obama's own words convict him. I just hope enough people hear these crucial statements from Obama's own mouth to reverse the direction this election seems to be going. If B.O. is elected, hardworking, moral people will suffer.
Pro-choice Is Incomprehensible
From Ashli O'Connell's blog:
Read the rest of Ashli's excellent, yet disturbing post.
When I scroll through [my] blog and look at the photos of my amazing children, it makes my heart sick to think that the law would allow me the right to have decided these beautiful girls were an inconvenience, or as Barack Obama so eloquently puts it, "a punishment," and that I could have murdered them if I didn't want to be bothered with them. It's incomprehensible to me that women make that choice, and that our country sits by and lets it happen.

Pro-life or Abortion: McCain & Obama in Their Own Words
Watch this, then tell me who the choice MUST be for every compassionate, moral person.

Sarah Palin: "There are God's standards"
Clip from Sarah Palin's 10/24/08 appearance at Bass Pro in Springfield, Missouri, showing that she is not afraid to talk about "God's standards," even in the midst of a heated national election campaign.
