Logical Antithesis

I must admit that I never liked Obama to begin with, and it has nothing to do with race but principles. Even my friends will back me up there, and the one’s I’m thinking about are black—so don’t even insinuate that this is racist.

Formerly, I respected the position of president, but no longer. Obama is fresh in office and already he has gone too far, over and over.

So, what was the last straw?

“Mr Obama, you do not speak for me.”

I say this because Mr Obama, I refuse to use the title of president for a foreign national, seems to think that his voice is law, that his voice represents the American people. Leave that to the diplomats, Mr Obama, because you’ve made a huge goof!

“We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation…”
Obama, in Ankara Turkey¹

Of all the religions in the United States, including the atheists (atheism is the religion of no-god, of man is the penultimate yard-stick), Christianity outweighs all other religious presences! If you take the term Christianity liberally, I mean all those who believe in Jesus and Jehovah of the Israelites, then this comprises 74.2% of the total population of the country as of 2007. Furthermore, the founding fathers themselves were very honest in putting forwards Christianity as the principles that this Constitutional Republic was built upon.

“The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
John Adams; letter written to Abigail Adams on the day the Declaration of Independence was signed by Congress.

“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams; Oct 11, 1798

“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure…are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.”
Charles Carroll; letter to James McHenry written on Nov 4, 1800.

“God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel”
Benjamin Franklin; Constitutional Convention of 1787, original manuscript of his speech.

“For my own part, I sincerely esteem it [the Constitution] a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests.”
Alexander Hamilton; after the Constitutional Convention of 1787.

“It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”
Patrick Henry; in a speech given to the House of Burgesses, in May 1765

“God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
Thomas Jefferson; excerpts from the Jefferson Memorial, from Jefferson’s notes upon the State of Virginia.

“I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society. One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law. . . There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying its foundations.”
Justice Joseph Story; Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States p. 593

And lastly, a brief quotation as a warning upon the subject from Jedediah Morse. It is for this exact reason that I personally fear that the days of the united States of America are not only numbered, but rapidly running to the end of the line.

“To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. . . . Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all blessings which flow from them, must fall with them.”
Jedediah Morse

But why did Obama say that?

It should be obvious.

Obama claims we aren’t a nation founded on Christianity, but a set of ideals or values. Meaning? Well, that the Christian values aren’t it. That should be pretty baldfaced, coming from someone with the middle name of Hussein. If only he was a natural born citizen, right? (He’s never proven that, and as such is an illegally elected president and is guilty of fraud unless first proven a natural born citizen.)

He even goes further, claiming that Turkey (a noted Muslim nation) was founded on a similar set of principles. What?! Muslim law is based off of the Old Testament principles of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” and is compounded by the absence of mercy. As easily seen by the above quotations of our founders, America was founded upon Christian Principles of grace and justice (of both punishment, and mercy where due).

Crux of the Issue

The issue is relativism. In reality, all who believe in relativism are entirely closed-minded to other cultures. Why? Simple, they’re no better than we and therefore must be tolerated. It is for this reason that relativism makes everything so bland. If only people believed in absolutes, in truth and goodness, still they would swiftly see the error of this. It is only through the understanding of absolutes that we can see others for what they are, in light of the truth. Prejudice can be unlearned and trained out of a man, but without discernment and discrimination the anarchy of relativism will rule.

It is this relativism that spawned the intolerance brigade, those who do not tolerate anything but tolerance to everything save the intolerant. (Puzzle that out, and you’ll see the sheer falsehood of the principle.) And it is to this relativism that Obama subscribes.

“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
Noah Webster; the History of the United States, p. 339

Solutions

So, what is the solution? Refuse to follow; refuse to obey. If our leaders refuse to follow our law, the Constitution first and foremost, then we aren’t bound by the word of lawless men. It is this man, and the principles that he represents that are ruining our once prosperous country.

And refuse to bail out anything. Throwing money at a problem won’t fix it, and it never has in the entire history of mankind.

And prayer, never forget that. You’ve no other alternative but to pray now. Pray for the correction of our government, for the rebuke and correction of our flawed and disobedient leaders, and pray for God to bring His justice upon us. For it is better to fall into the hand of the merciful God, as David said (2 Sam. 24:11-14), than into the hand of men. And pray like never before that God would bring us just and honest leaders, help us to rise up and appoint them, and to wrest control of this government from the blindly ignorant people whom drive us into the dust.

“Although guided by our excellent Constitution in the discharge of official duties, and actuated, through the whole course of my public life, solely by a wish to promote the best interests of our country; yet, without the beneficial interposition of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, we could not have reached the distinguished situation which we have attained with such unprecedented rapidity. To HIM, therefore, should we bow with gratitude and reverence, and endeavor to merit a continuance of HIS special favors.”
George Washington; Letter to John Adams, 1797.

The first act of revolution is to embody the change. Live it, so that others may see, understand, and join with you.
