With the election so close, I feel compelled to argue against voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. I have come upon a website run by a political action committee, the National Republican Trust. This site has a page that states various “facts” regarding Obama and his association with William Ayers. These statements, if true, cannot be ignored or considered as non-issues.
Now, many supporters of Obama just don’t understand why this association Obama has with Ayers should matter. Just for the record, many of these same individuals think negatively about Sarah Palin because the pastor of her church believes that witchcraft is evil and that prayer actually works. Why? Because she goes to that church, so she must believe what is preached there. It is a logical assumption. So why is it so outrageous in the eyes of Obama supporters that the rest of us apply this same reasoning to Obama?
According to the National Republican Trust, Obama has a history of associating with individuals who do not love this country. You cannot tell me that Rev. Jeremiah Wright loves the United States. Nor can you tell me that a man who admits to domestic terrorism–and even worse, admits he will not guarantee he won’t do it the next time this country ticks him off–is a good political ally for a US Presidential candidate.
What about Obama’s association with Tony Resko? ACORN? The list goes on. FOX reporter Hannity reports that Obama’s associations would immediately disqualify him from becoming an FBI agent. How then can we consider him for the US Presidency?
Obama draws the approval of the world’s worst political powers. Why is this? If he did not appear to support these evil leaders’ causes or at the very least appear weak enough to allow for the advancement of their agendas, wouldn’t they fear Obama instead of applauding him and promoting him?
Quite simply, if I found out that a group of kids were admitted hooligans that vandalized property, practiced under aged drinking, illicit drug use, and did not honor God, I would not want my children to associate with these kids. How much more do I not want the leader of my country – who represents and upholds our way of life in front of the whole world - to associate with domestic terrorists, slumlords, or anyone who damns this country.
What will it take to apply the same discernment to Barack Obama that we apply to anyone else in our daily lives? Barack Obama has demonstrated a serious lack of judgement when choosing his associates. Do we want to give him the office of US President to demonstrate further lack of judgement?
