Convincing Case Against Barack Obama’s Presidency

Posted: Feb 25, 2015

This will probably be taken down and/or flamed because of the anti-Christian rhetoric coming from the left, but for as long as it stays up, maybe some good can come of it somewhere.

Christian evangelist Franklin Graham is making the case against Barack Obama’s presidency better than any politician has.

Last week, Rudy Giuliani landed a glancing blow when he said he didn’t think President Obama really loves America.

Tuesday, in fewer than one hundred words posted on his Facebook page, Graham laid bare the moral and political destruction that has enveloped the country in the last six years.

Graham focused on Obama’s actions, rather than what he might think or believe.

“Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has taken a lot of heat from the media for his remark that he’s not sure if President Obama really loves America,” Graham’s post began.

“I don’t know if that’s true or not, but…” Graham wrote before launching into this concise and devastating critique of the president’s actions:

“I do know that the president (1) defends Islam and (2) chastises Christians, (3) rebukes our allies and (4) befriends our enemies, and (5) fully supports gay marriages and (6) abortion but (7) denies the religious freedoms of those who don’t agree.” (Numbers added in bold for emphasis.)

Seven specific actions undertaken by the president, spelled out in 35 simple words.

Graham then synopsized where he believes we stand as a country today in another 20 words:

“Our nation is ridiculed abroad and morally crumbling within. We are in trouble. We have turned our back on God.”

Graham has demonstrated what the best speechwriters have long known, but politicians often forget.

When it comes to effective communications, there is no tool more powerful than simplicity.

Sick of the anti-Christian rhetoric from the left. It's so blatantly in your face. Just turn on MSNBC, CNN and other liberal stations and talk shows.

Can you cite any examples? - genuinely curious (nm)

Hate monger, Franklin Graham? The one who's always making inflammatory statements and has had to apologize to the president in the past for his false and incendiary comments? No thanks, I don't care what Frankie has to say.

The left simply believes in the separation of church and state.... any church and the United States. There is no war on any religion coming from the left, as the Constitution of the United States is quite clear on the role of religion in state affairs. Us lefties don't like to see ANY religion being taken advantage of by political ideologues, and that includes Christianity. If only Christians could recognize that politicians playing to their fears and faith in order to advance a political agenda is the single largest threat to Christianity and that the so-called "war on Christians" and "war on Christmas" is a political invention to that end.

There' a bloviating liar on Fox News (several of them actually) that keep whining there's a war on Christmas, and part of their supposed proof is the fact that many businesses now show a preference to use terminology such as "Happy Holidays" versus "Merry Christmas." You won't, however, hear them explain the etymology of the word "holiday" is "holy day" and that far from being against Christianity, that term is a more inclusive term that expresses joy for the holy days of all religions versus being a war against their Christian faith. Would it be fair to say that the use of "Merry Christmas" is a war on the Jewish religion or that Christians have a war against other religions? I'd say it's a comparable argument to the rhetoric coming from the right-wing machine. Why doesn't the left proselytize that Christians have a war on other religions? See separation of church and state.

Good citizens are good people whether with or without religious beliefs, and so there is no religious litmus test in America, nor will there ever be, nor an exclusive law that favors any one religion over any other. The framers of the Constitution intended this because they came from an environment where religion was far too frequently used to inspire and promote hate speech, acts of cruelty, and acts of great evil against others who believed differently from the monarchy.

The true rhetoric evidenced in the OP here is the never ending anti-Obama agenda and spew from the far-right perpetual martyrs who are quite content to allow conservatives to pervert their religion for political means.

I'm just curious... - sm

It is a shame that someday people will wake up and our God has decided to punish all of us for this.

Now this is in answer to a political question and about theology, etc.

Our founding fathers decided to found our country on the Bible and God.

I don't know what is so hard about understanding that.

I feel bad for those who will learn the hard way and have to go through the hardships the US will go through because we refused to believe in God and uphold His laws.

Now don't delete this or put it on the Faith board. It is an answer to this idiocy that reigns in our country about separation of church and state, nothing more.

Seems people support sin as evidenced by the liberals. They are going to make this country into what they want come hell or high water. However, I hope people like Ben Carson and a few others come through as our Republican candidates. I hope Hillary decides not to run. Uncle Joe would be a joke along with a few others for Democratic candidates. Look at all the lies. Don't see that many Republicans lying do you. I don't.
