Mr. Obama stated that the religious right uses religion as a weapon to divide the populace rather than unite it.so what he has decided to do is to vilify the religious side of the aisle to assure votes from the far left liberal base. What better way to mobilize the left than to get onto the subject of religion. A very clever tactic, I concede to Mr. Obama.
How would Obama define the unification between the liberal left and the religious right? would it mean that those on the right must accept the views of the left which supports subtracting the Judeo-Christian God from American society? The liberals that make up the ACLU attack anything that is a symbol of the Christian faith that is the very heart of what formed America. Should the religious right unite with the liberal left which seeks to redefine American principles and morals of the United states such as the institution of marriage? The left seeks to redefine marriage to include every lifestyle outside of the traditional man and woman union.
Religious conservatives should not compromise or give up living life in reality. Conservatives more often than not, look at issues facing our nation according to facts. Liberals see reality in a different manner and face issues with emotional perspective. they think decisions should be made according to whether or not one gets a warm, "fuzzy" feeling. Speaking as a Christian conservative, I am resigned to the fact that there will always be division with the left. I am on the side that is for maintaining the U.S. Constitution and the ideals set forth by the Founding Fathers of America. the other side seeks to shape a society that is indulgent in decadence and self-rule, interpreting a Constitution to fit whatever whim develops.
Mr. Obama's problem with his candidacy lies with the fact that he isn't running on a platform. What does he stand for? What does he believe in? By attacking the religious right he has found that it will take more to get elected than being a media darling. Obama is a novelty that will fade like all others. He lacks experience, especially with foreign policy. He may get many black voted because of the color of his skin but I learned recently that the Democratic Party is the enemy of Black America. the problem is that many others like myself haven't discovered this yet. It is, however, more blacks starting to take a look at the Republican Party. Hispanics are ahead of us in this as shown by the results of the last presidential race.
Mr. Obama has chosen his path for the 2008 campaign. It will undoubtedly prove fatal for his presidential bid. History has shown that one doesn't reach the White House that strays too far from the center on the ideological spectrum. He is ignoring the strategies of his democratic opponent , Hilary Clinton. More importantly, he isn't paying attention to the campaign that put Hillary's husband, Bill, in the White House for eight years.
