Is Obama really prophet of change?
Sat, 01/31/2009 1:18 PM | Opinion
While many seem enamoured at the ground-breaking election of the first, black, US president, few seem cognizant of the fact that Barack Obama's core beliefs and record fundamentally disagrees with his nation's founding principles that are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and which states that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Obama's pragmatic inaugural address confirms that he is governed by the Marxist belief that the end justifies the means - a belief which allows him to support the systematic murdering of innocent children through abortion and embryonic stem cell research as if such people were a subclass of human beings. Obama is a false prophet who preaches change and hope while pursuing a culture of death. Though the slogan change is usually invoked to signify something positive, in this case it hides a different agenda - one which is very dangerous for America and the world.

It's clear that you disagree with Obama's views on ethics and I am also not happy with his too pro-abortion policy, but please refrain from name calling. That is really low. Calling somebody a marxist simply because you don't like his points of view is disgusting. Obama is not a marxist. He clearly stands for a liberal capitalistic system. He is also a religious person or at least he is a deist like many of the founding fathers who helped save the USA from (pseudo-)religious insanity and the type of wars that devasted Europe for centuries.
May I also remind you that in some countries thousands of people were murdered simply because of one of the 20th century-day witch hunts where people could be called Marxists and then executed or imprisoned without any unalienable rights. Is that the religion you represent? Then I tell you that you are an even falser prophet and your God is Satan.

Mr. Kokoski himself seems to have an agenda - that of extreme Christian fundamentalists who sift everything through the sieve of the holy scripture. Kokoski creates a straw man by portraying Obama as a prophet, but Obama is merely a politician promising change. So far Obama is delivering change, that from the Christian conservative Bush regime to that of a more socially enlightened one following the track of modern science.
