RSSEVANGELICALS, PREPARE FOR PERSECUTION

Conservatives in general will be beaten up after Barack Obama walks into the Oval Office.
That is for certain. Obama is the left of left. There is no patience in his quarter.
Within conservatism are the biblical evangelicals. They came out strongly for the Republican candidates. After Obama gets into the White House, evangelicals will be targeted for outright abuse.
Every evangelical organization doing social issue work, for example, Focus on the Family and the American Family Association, will come under fire as never before. Every evangelical preacher will feel the same heat.
That means that Obama will have on his side not only every liberal politician, every liberal professor, every liberal local citizen, but every liberal theologian and clergyperson. These number in the millions.
They will band together to shame the evangelicals in particular, putting them out of business if possible. No doubt the liberals will lock in with homosexuals who seek the elimination of tax exemption for churches.
But more: these liberals will attack biblical preaching from the pulpits just as is done in Canada now. The homosexual issue from a biblical perspective is muted now in Canada. One dare not preach or teach the biblical passages dealing with God’s abhorrence regarding sodomy. So in Canada, it will be in the US.
As for conservative talk radio, liberals will seek legislation that will force conservatives to have equal showing with liberal talk shows. Facts show liberal talk shows don’t flourish. They die on the vine.
Nevertheless, there is legislation proposed that will “make it equal,” that is, for every conservative talk show there has to be a liberal talk show. What does that do with the variety of Rush Limbaughs now broadcasting?
As for public schools, evolution will be the staple. Abortion will be advocated. Homosexual lifestyle will be lifted high. Anything related to the biblical deity will be muffled.
Regarding community celebrations, anything biblically accented won’t be permitted, such including nativity scenes and the like. Fill in the blanks on your own.
Planned Parenthood will be endorsed to the nth degree by Obama for he is one of their chief champions, particularly advocating partial-birth abortion.
If the conservatives thought Hillary Clinton was a deadly threat, wait until Obama lands in the executive suite.
Sadly, many biblical believers will have put him there for he has courted them with gospel concerts, preaching that he knows Jesus, quoting the Bible, and relentlessly chatting about God this and God that. He is quick to point out the divine guidance he receives daily.
Many biblical believers have fallen for this lie.
He is a theological liberal who writes his own religion, discounting biblical passages dealing with God’s hatred against abortion and practicing homosexuality.
Obama, like Clinton, quote those “sweet” passages about love and neighborliness. They know exactly what they are doing in such selective choices to decorate their speeches.
God is mocked daily by Obama. God will judge him severely.
But in the meantime, many conservatives—evangelicals in particular—will come under severe condemnation. One can only shudder to envision the ways.
With the present craze for Obama as if he were a cult figure like unto Elvis, there is no stopping him reaching the Oval Office. McCain has no chance of revving up the mobs as Obama has exhibited.
McCain is The Old Man. Obama is the messiah.
ADDENDUM:
OBAMA NEXT PRES

First, he’s become the Elvis of present-tense politics. Emotion runs the election. Nothing will stop it. It will grow.
That means that young Barack Obama will make John McCain “The Old Man.” The young will topple McCain at the polls.
Second, Republicans are divided. They know it. The world knows it. There consequently is a lethargy within the Republican Party that shows in numbers.
On Super Tuesday, 14.6 million voters took part in the Democratic races, compared to 8.3 million Republicans.
Republicans are fighting over conservative versus liberal. Therefore, anything that divides diminishes force.
Dems are emotion drive over a cult figure who gathers around him millions of groupies. And they are united in their clutch for his body.
Therefore, from this moment till November, The Old Man will recede and The Boy will take over.
The Boy has nothing going for him but cliches. If he does settle down on an issue it is the left of left. Take partial-birth abortion. He’s all for it. In other words, come November, the conservative movement will question whether it has moved off the charts.
Third, The Boy appears as a Christian seeking the will of God. That means he fools millions who attend Bible-preaching churches—in other words evangelicals.
They don’t know his issue positions. They really don’t. They don’t read about his issues being left of left. They don’t listen to conservative talk radio to get a rationale for their ballot cast. Emotion, not logic, is everything.
These groupies are caught up with being romantically enamored by The Boy. Chuck the issues, even the one that spikes a nail into the skull of a newly born child.
That means that countless numbers of citizens who believe in their hearts that Jesus saves their souls will vote for The Boy. Of course, secularists love him simply because they love him.
The Boy holds gospel concerts. The Boy preaches from church pulpits. The Boy has the cadence of an old-time evangelist. The Boy quotes Scripture. Why then, churchgoers conclude, should not they condole that he is indeed one of them?
These cable TV stations that run hour-upon-hour analyses of the political run this year may as well wrap things up in the studio. Their yakking is not going to do one thing but report on the latest Barack political “concert” of cliches.
What is frightening is that some of these commentators are praising his speeches—his walk, his talk, his presence. That is truly scary. In other words, they can’t see any further than their teleprompters.
Yes, this November conservatives will wail. Genuine Christians will wonder if the world has come to an end. True Americans who believe in the Judeo-Christian heritage will reason they are a people without a country.
Nevertheless, what will be will be.
The Boy has whooped up the groupies and they are going to have their way—all the way to Pennsylvania Avenue.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity. By posting a comment you agree to abide by the rules of this site.
