The Real Barack Obama
The last time I checked, this country was founded on Christian principles. Our founders were great people in the faith and that is why our country has had great morals for the most part (minus some of the not so great leaders that we’ve had). When I saw this video, I was in complete shock. The last time that I watched the news, Barack Obama called himself a “Christian.” He completely contradicts himself in the video. I seriously don’t know when to believe Obama anymore. Here’s the website to check out the video: http://www.phforamerica.com. If Obama gets elected in November as President, what are his beliefs going to be when he gets into the White House since he keeps on changing?

Kristin, it’s nice to see a Republican “defending” the sermon on the mount. I’d love to hear you expound a bit more on this part of your post, though:
“Our founders were great people in the faith and that is why our country has had great morals for the most part (minus some of the not so great leaders that we’ve had).”
And where does that narrator come off saying “and I can assure you that Christ would never advocate…?”
He speaks for Jesus now?
(PS- I like how phforamerica.com is a fan of ARBITRARY CAPITALIZATION. That’s the sure sign of a credible source. I will DEFINITELY send that man money…)

I am also proud of, as John said, “a Republican “defending” the sermon on the mount.” As a senior history major, who enjoys reading the writing of our Founding Fathers for fun, I can expand upon how our nation was founded on Judeau-Christian principals.
In a speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs on May 12, 1779, George Washington thanked the Indians for sending some of their sons to be educated by the colonists and that, “You do well to wish to learn our arts and way of life, and above all the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are.”
In Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789 began with, “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor[...]”
In “Common Sense” by Thomas Paine, the book that inspired the colonists to turn from reconciliation to independence is littered with religious logic and reference. One of them is, ” But where say some is the king of America? I’ll tell you Friend, he reigns above[...]”
Even Thomas Jefferson, who is often misquoted in the separation of church and state argument, noted in a letter to Charles Clay on Jan. 29, 1815, that, “I place him [Jesus] among the greatest of reformers of morals, and scourges of priestcraft that have ever existed.” Jefferson described the teachings of Jesus as “the most sublime edifice of morality which had ever been exhibited to man.”
Jefferson is not alone in his thought either. John Adams wrote in his diary on August 14, 1796 that “One great advantage of the Christian religion is that it brings the great principal of the law of nature and nations–Love your neighbor as yourself, and do to others as you would that others should do to you–to the knowledge, belief, and veneration of the whole people[...] No other institution for education, no kind of political discipline, could diffuse this kind of necessary information, so universally among all ranks of and descriptions of citizens.”
The views of Washington, Paine, Jefferson, and Adams about how important and prevalence the Christian views are were not just kept among them but shared by their country men. In “Democracy in America”, the French traveler Alexander Tocqueville noted under his section of “Religion Considered as a Political Institution Which Powerfully Supports the Maintenance of a Democratic Republic Among Americans,” that “From the start, politics and religion were in agreement and they have continued to be so ever since[...]I am sure that they believe it necessary for the maintenance of republican institutions. This is not an opinion peculiar to one class of citizens or to one party, but to a whole nation; it is found in every rank of society[...]Americans so completely identify the spirit of Christianity with freedom in their minds that it is almost impossible to get them to conceive the one without the other.”
Now that it is expanded upon that our nation was founded upon by “great people in the faith.” I wish to address the gentleman’s question about the narrator. While I can not confirm that the narrator is a prophet, someone who speaks for God, I can speculate that his conclusion was correct. It is hard imagining Jesus not supporting the ones who defend his sheep. After All, Jesus turned over the money changers’ tables and drove them out of the temple with a whip for defiling the house of God. Why would He not support those who defend the lives of those made in God’s Image? Jesus also dispelled demons from those possessed, and described himself as a shepherd, one who kills wolves so that they do not hurt the sheep. Well, the terrorists fit the bill of the wolves who try to kill God’s sheep. Remember, God also is the one who gave Samson the strength to kill lions, who gave David the power to slay a giant and thousands Philistines. God also drowned most of Pharaoh’s army and whipped out the first borns of the Egyptians. God never told David, who is described as a man after God’s own heart, to dissolve his DoD, than why would he tell us that? Not to mention those who fought in America’s first army and that army’s commander, George Washington, were almost all Christians who believed in the sermon on the mount.
Indeed, when the young and inexperienced Senator Obama mocked the bible, he showed how little of it he knew and how little he knew of its importance to the country’s heritage; Therefore, Barack himself showed why he is unfit to be president of the USA.
