    President Obama on Friday is expected to lift a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

    As everyone around here continues to pray for his success. We will all get exactly what we pray for. God's wrath. Our punishment will no doubt be another attack worse than 9/11 as obama opens the door for all terrorist to enter the U.S.

    So you claim to be a prophet?

    Some right-wingers are getting more and more ridiculous in their comments.

    But it is what you voted for, and you bear responsibility for it.

    Amen. You were warned before you cast your ballot that this was his agenda based on his voting record.

    I pray once again that he will be stopped by Almighty God from doing this gruesome murderous act. God answered prayer and stopped him from doing this yesterday when he was planning to do it. I pray once again that God will stop him in his tracks, that he will be convicted by the Holy Spirit of God that he is furthering the murder of innocent defenseless unborn, discrimination of the highest order, if he goes ahead with this agenda and will answer to the Author of Life for his wicked actions as POTUS.

    So, do you think if we choose to pray or choose not to pray for Obama success or failure, we can stop what God has in store for us?

    If it's wrath and punishment, do you think we can stop it?

    You're gone around the bend now it's time to come back....

    That's fine. I voted for George W. Bush both times and I bear responsibility for his actions, too.

    If the candidate you voted for was elected then you would bear responsibility for his actions - even those you disagreed with.

    And if the candidate that you voted for was elected then you couldn't have it both ways, either, in matters that you disagreed with him about.

    Comparatively speaking, that is far better than being responsible for Obama's. Bush had a number of bad policies, but they weren't bad on life, for the most part. It was money and things that are passing away anyway.

    You and I don't want the same government policies on probably the majority of issues. We just happen to agree on the abortion issue if you agree with me that no abortion should be legal for any reason.

    Perhaps not, but we used to. You are the one who abandoned sensible government in favor of socialism. You used to be one of the most vocal constitutionalists here. That was before you switched ... and then switched back ... and then switched back again ... and then ... who knows how many times. You have abandoned sensible governance and constitutionalism for liberalism. And that is bad.

    We don't agree because I think it was important enough to think about in voting. You didn't. You decided the supposed money issue, or war issues, or social issues, were more important than human life. I disagree. I am not a one issue voter, but Christians must draw the line when it comes to the image of God in man. So if you change to believe that human life deserves more than a few patronizing comments on an internet forum, then you will agree with me. Until then, don't pretend ...

    Hey, Pastor Larry, I have absolutely no desire to change any position just so I can agree with you.

    Personally, I wear as a symbolic badge of honor disagreeing with right-wingers whose foreign and economic policies for the past eight years have brought such shame and reproach on the good name of the United States of America and brought economic disaster on our nation.

    You shouldn't do it to agree with me. That would be foolish. You should do it in order to be right.

    I wouldn't wear that badge where it can be seen, because it is rather embarrassing to those who know the truth. It's like wearing a big badge that says, "Kick Me." (And you make it entirely too easy.)

    The economic policies were the same ones that you voted for with Obama ... more government spending. So you can't say you disagree with it when you voted for it. Furthermore, these economic policies began in the 90s under Clinton, were furthered in the 2000s. So they extend well longer than the last eight years.

    Foreign policy is a big of a mixed bag. I am glad to be known as a nation that stands up for human rights and human freedom. I am opposed to the senseless slaughter of human life that took place under Hussein. I am not in favor of a lot of it though. Overall, I am not that concerned with what the rest of the world thinks. When I look at their values and their way of life, it is a good thing that we are different than they are. But Obama won't change that either. You know that. You simply got deceived by a smooth-talking salesman.

    You should have stuck with Ron Paul. You made sense back then.
