Hey folks,
This takes a couple of minutes read. I think it is well worth your time. I have not checked snopes.com as to accuracy. It is from the Executive Director of Cowboys for Christ so I feel it is ok to forward it to our CFC chapter as well as some friends and family. I personally do not want to sway anyone¢s vote. I do want to circulate any information I have so we will all make informed decisions. Your vote does count. Please also take someone you know with you so they too will vote. If you are not part of the solution to our problems in USA you are part of the problem and have no reason to complain. J
Anyways, please a couple of minutes to read this.
Thanks and blessings,
Cliff

I appreciate so much his reasoning for not voting for Obama. I would like
to see this article published or spread out via Email to as many as possible. It's good stuff!
Why I Can't Vote For Obama......By Huntley Brown
Dear Friends,
A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email
with a few points. With the election just around the corner
I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my
e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth
repeating... First I must say whoever wins the election will
have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his
accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be
voting for him. Many of my friends process their identity
thro ugh their blackness. I process my identity through
Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He
leads, I follow. I can't dictate the terms, He does
because He is the leader. I can't vote black because I
am black; I have to vote Christian because that's who I
am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone
from other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200
years from now I won't be asked if I was black or white.
I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and
Savior. In an election there are many issues to consider but
when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic
stem-cell research, human cloning - to name a few, then
wrong economic concerns will soon not matter. We need to
follow Martin Luther King's words, 'don't judge
someone by the color of their skin but by the content of
their character.' I don't know Obama, so all I can
go on is his voting record. His voting record earned him the
title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007
(01/31/2008) To beat Ted Kennedy and Hilary Clinton as the
most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished
this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to
America if he had four years to work with. There is a reason
Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating. There is a
reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a
reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him.
There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges
to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the
infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted 'No' on
the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a
reason he voted 'No' on banning partial birth
abortion. There is a reason he voted 'No' on
confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judg es are
conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth
abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue.
The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures: A. Guided by
ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with
forceps. (Remember this is a live baby) B. The baby's
leg is pulled out into the birth canal. C. The abortionist
delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head. D.
The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The
scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole. E. The
scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The
child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to
collapse. The dead baby is then removed. God help him. There
is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.
Think about this: You can' not give a child an aspirin
without parental notification but that same child can have
an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.
There is a reason Obama went to Jeremiah Wright's church
for 20 years. Obama tells us he has good judgment, but he
sat under Jeremiah Wright's teaching for 20 years. Now
he is condemning Wright's sermons. I wonder why now?
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled
him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew
28:19 - 20 'Go and make disciples of all nations.'
This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like
you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe
etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach
him? Would you support a White President who went to a
church which has tenets that said they have a: 1. Commitment
to the White Community 2. Commitment to the White Family 3.
Adherence to the White Work Ethic 4. Pledge to make the
fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to
the White Community. 5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a
Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and
Supporting White Institutions 6. Pledge allegiance to all
White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value
System 7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White
Value System. Would you support a President who went to a
church like that? Just change the word from white to black
and you have the tenets of Obama's former church. If
President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would
be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would
have been marching outside. This kind of church is a racist
church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just
discover he'd been going to a racist church. The TRUE
church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any
particular race. He came for the whole world. A church
can't have a value system based on race. The churches
value system has to be based on biblical mandates. It does
not matter if it's a white church or a black church
based on racial values, it's still wrong. Anyone from
either race that attends a church like this would never get
my vote. Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a
disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the
1970 book 'the goals of the black community'. If God
is not for us and against white people, then he is a
murderer, and we had better kill him. Cone is the man
Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this? So
what does all this mean for the nation? In the past when the
Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a
nation it meant one thing - judgment. Read 1 Samuel 8 when
Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9
'Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them
know what the king who will reign over them will do.'
Then God says 1 Samuel 1:18 ' When that day comes, you
will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and
the LORD will not answer you in that day.' 19 But the
people refused to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said.
'We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the
other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before
us and fight our battles.' 21 When Samuel heard all that
the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD
answered, 'Listen to them and give them a king.'
Here is what we know for sure. God is not schizophrenic He
would not tell one person to vote for Obam a and one to vote
for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against
itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not
hearing from God. Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know
God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read
in scripture so I doubt it. For all my friends who are
voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and
say; Father ,based on your word, I am voting for Obama even
though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of
partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or
four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be
nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are
against you. I also know he will continue to push for
homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because
of the economy. I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of
Obama's positions.
Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.
2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?
