Why I Can't Vote For Obama
By Huntley Brown
Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on
Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just
around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of
you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth repeating...
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer
support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments
but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I
process my Identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower)
means He leads I Follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because
He is the leader.
I can't vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian
because that's who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither
should anyone from the other ethnic Groups vote because of
ethnicity.200 years from now I won't be asked if I was black
or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him
as Lord and Savior.
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a
society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell
research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic
concerns will soon not matter.
We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge
someone by the color of their skin but by the content of
their character. I don't know Obama so all I can go off is
his voting record. His voting record earned him the
title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007
(01/31/2008)
To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal
senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in
2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if
he had four years to work with.
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100% rating.
There is a reason the homosexual community supports him.
There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him.
There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to
the Supreme Court.
There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill.
There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of
same-sex marriage.
There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion.
There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito.
These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned
partial birth abortion.
The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue
The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:
A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with
forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)
B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for
the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull.
The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted.
The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse.
The dead baby is then removed.
God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental
notification law.
Think about this: You can't give a kid an aspirin without parental
notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental
notification. This is insane.
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.
Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah
Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright's sermons.
I wonder why now?
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him.
A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 "
Go and make disciples of all nations." This means reproduce
yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you
believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did
Jeremiah Wright teach him?
Would you support a White President who went to a church which
has tenets that said they have a ...
1. Commitment to the White Community
2. Commitment to the White Family
3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills
available to the White Community.
5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for
Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the
White Value System
7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.
Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of
Obama's former church. If President Bush was a member of a church
like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton
would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20
years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can't
be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for
the whole world.
A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches
value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter
if itʼs a white church or a black church it's still wrong. Anyone from
either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal
theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology
of Liberation. Cone once wrote: "Black theology refuses to accept a
God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community.
If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer,
and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
So what does all this mean for the nation?
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama
to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in
1 Samuel 1:9 "Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and
let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."
Then God says
1 Samuel 1:18 " When that day comes, you will cry out for relief
from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you
in that day." 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. "No!"
they said. "We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the
other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us
and fight our battles." 21 When Samuel heard all that the
people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered,
"Listen to them and give them a king."
Here is what we know for sure. God is not schizophrenic
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for
McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot
stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change
and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God
in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for
Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of
partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four
Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal
judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he
will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way
because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions.
Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on
the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.
2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for t
he nation?

I know this is after the fact, but it is so important for those of us that are
Christian Conservatives and Independents to keep our ears to the track
on this very important issue. Obama has promised to reintroduce the
Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) and if it Congress passes this Act it will
mean that Partial Birth Abortion will be completely legal again.
The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would eliminate every restriction on
abortion nationwide.
FOCA will do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial
birth abortion, and on all other protections.
FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
FOCA will force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform
abortions.
(Even though it is completely against their "Hypocratic Oath")
FOCA Would Wipe Away Every Restriction on Abortion
Nationwide This would eradicate state and federal laws that the
majority of Americans support, -
--Partial Birth Abortion will be legal again
--Requirements that women be given information about the risks of
getting an abortion will be lifted
--Requirements that only licensed physicians can perform abortions
will be lifted
--Requirements that Parents be informed and give consent to their
minor daughter's abortion FOCA would erase these laws and prevent
states from enacting similar protective measures in the future.
Huntley Brown is, as described on his web site, a "a Christian concert pianist
whose versatile repertoire includes classical, jazz, gospel, reggae and many
other styles." An
e-mail to Mr. Brown about the item reproduced above, an
explanation attributed to him about why he would not be voting for Barack
Obama in the 2008 presidential election, drew the following response:
Yes, I wrote this e-mail. I was responding to my friends who asked me to vote
for Senator Obama because he is black. It was not my intention to send it
around the world. I did not post this e-mail or send out any pictures attached.
I wish they had not done that.
My friends did not ask me to vote for Senator Mccain which explains why my
e-mail was geared towards Senator Obama.
My e-mail was not meant to influence public opinion in any way, but simply to
share with My friends my views on why I could not vote for Senator Obama.
I have problems with both candidates, but the differences I have with Senator
Mccain are pale in comparison with the ones I have with Senator Obama
For the record, I am not a politician. I am not a Democrat or a Republican.
I am a Christian independent who just loves the Lord.
If Senator Obama wins he can count on my prayer support every day.
I tell my friends it's like a family where you have different opinions, but you
love each other just the same. I love and appreciate Senator Obama but our
views are diametrically opposed.
If I knew my e-mail would have generated this much interest on a national
level, I would have left out a few points. I don't want people to think I am
against gay people or against people who have had abortions. (I am not)
We are all sinners saved by grace but we need to have some absolute laws
to govern society or else we will self destruct.
What has really bothered me is our beautiful black women constitute only
6% of the population, yet they comprise 36% of the abortion industry's
clientele. Obama has done nothing to stop this.
Most people don't know that the leading abortion providers have chosen to
exploit us blacks by locating 94% of their abortuaries in urban neighborhoods
with high black populations. Obama has done nothing to stop this?
To be honest I can't wait to vote for the first black President but it has to be
a person who shares the values I read in the Bible.
Thanks for checking to make sure my e-mail is legit it is.
Blessings Huntley Brown
