From Slavery to the White House. Wow, What a Turnaround, What a Country!

I may be in error, but I believe that America is probably the first country [in the West] to elect a black President. I don't see this happening in the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or any other predominantly white nation founded by whites.

America needs to be congratulated for showing the way to the free world, once again! Now, America, and especially President Obama need to keep in mind that the world is watching. If black citizens in other predominately white nations are to break through the ageless color barrior and elect a black leader, it will happen only if this experiment of hope and change truly works out for our overall good.

I hope Obama succeeds. Those non-blacks that voted for Obama, took a great leap of faith, and should he not succeed, each and everyone that are dancing in the streets today, will have history to answer to. My question is: Will they be as willing to step up and take any blame for his failures. Truly, Obama's failures will be on their shoulders.

I guess we'll have to see. Still, I hope he makes it, because I too much invested in this country to see his failures and shortcomings bring us down.

Shalom,

Let's Look At That Thought Again

I think most blacks would disagree with you. Why not ask a few of your black friends and see if they agree.

 

I Respectfully Submit This....

Ken, we've disagreed on several things, but, I submit this to you to ponder. And I don't mean to be judgmental just because I know you voted for Obama.

However, I submit that because Obama supports abortion, and does not support providing medical assistance to fetuses that live after a botched partial-birth abortion, that makes him an abortionist. He may not do the actual abortion, but, he is as guilty as the person who does, because he supports the act. Thus, everyone who supports a pro-abortion leader, is guilty as well. The only way to absolve oneself of this guilt is to repent, and never support abortion again!!!!!

I know you will vehemently disagree with me, and I don't really want to get into a "posting" contest with you. IMHO, because you voted for that Obama, you are supporting everything he stands for, therefore, you hsare his guilt. The ballot did not leave you a place to note that while you voted for Obama you didn't vote for his pro-abortion stand. When you voted for him, you voted for what you knew he supported and believed in, and that includes his pro-stand on homosexuality. SORRY, Ken, but you got the entire package. That was your choice.

As a Bush supporter, I am guilty of anything that I knew he stood for prior to my voting for him. Had I disagreed with ANY of his stands, I should never have voted for him. If I had prior knowledge that he'd be doing the very thing I opposed, I should have voted for the other person, or not voted for anyone for president.

This is not "above my pay-grade" and it is not above yours, Ken. An abortionist is nothing more than a BABY KILLER. Any one who supports a pro-abortion politician can not say they didn't know, and that makes them responsible for their actions in regard to abortion while they are in office.

Disagree all you want my brother. I understand why you disagree, but, the blood of every fetus is on your hands. Pilot tried to wash his hands of the decision to crucify Jesus. And while Pilot didn't pound one nail into the hands or feet of Jesus, Pilot issued the death warrant, and that made him just as guilty, as those who carried out the execution. Your vote carries tremendous responsibility my friend, that's why they say "vote responsibly."

Peace to you!

Yes...

That is your right. But, I ask, is that what Jesus would want? He is leading our nation, and all he does affects each of us, so I am praying for his success, as it could mean negative for all of us. Of course, that IMHO!!!!

 

To pray for your leaders is what Jesus told us to do

I am not committing a sin by praying for my leaders. Look how blood thirsty the Romans were, and we were told to render to Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and to pray for our leaders.

My prayers are not prayers of support, but prayers for God to guide them so they don't make the country worse than it already is. If this is wrong show me, I am open to change.

 

Great Point

I am thoroughly disappointed in Bush for not putting an end to abortion, however, he was moving to that point in the appointment of Justices. He just made things so bad that he had to know that Republicans couldn't WIN this 2008 race. And now, all his appointments will be in vain. He did great in protecting this nation from further terrorist acts, while he failed at just about everything else he promised us 8 years ago.

And I promise you this: Obama will fail too, and those who voted for him hoping a check would be in the mail, will not vote for him in 4 years when that check never gets to them.

 

I did not accuse you.

Sorry if you thought i accused you of the prayer thing. I was addressing the other response [from another person]. So sorry you think I came agaisnt you BB.:wavey:
