Barack’s keynote address tot the Call To Renewal’s Building a Covenant for a New America conference on 06/28/06 in Washington DC.
What he is talking about has nothing to do with politics.
HE IS TALKING ABOUT NOTHING!!!!! AND PEOPLE THINK CHANGE WILL HAPPEN, BULLSHIT
Ron Paul is the only candidate that actually talks about the REAL issues.
This is sad.
Did you not watch all 5 parts? Obama is talking about the role that religion and the religous have in politics. Perhaps the most important factor in domestic policy and key in recent elections.
If the only “real issue” you care about is whether or not we should revive the gold standard, then you are free to scream Ron Paul as much as you want. But there are a litany of issues that we are going to have to resolve in the future, and we need common sense and a clear view of reality to do so.
America, whether we like it or not, is a pillar of international stability. For the good of the nation and the good of the world, we cannot simply resign ourselves to the policies of the 1800′s. That said, many of Paul’s ideals are well noted.
It’s clear that McCain and Clinton see American strength as justification of exerting our power however we want. Paul seems determined to dismantle that power. Obama, while not perfect, is relatively moderate, in deliberation if not conculusion.
Obama will just go to war
I guess you don’t know what the CFR is.
“we cannot simply resign ourselves to the policies of the 1800′s”
you obviously think Obama will change everything, but he has the same foreign and monetary policy as George Bush and you think thats change???
Blah blah, one world government… yaddah yaddah 2012 doomsday scenario.
You clearly read my posts with the care you take to listen to Obama’s (or anyone’s) policies. I didn’t say Obama would change everything, as I said his conclusions may indeed be similar to those of Clinton or McCain (of even on occasion Bush).
I know the concept is anathema to the typical “internet individualist” but there is a role for government beyond a military and police force.
There are many interesting points in this speech.
One thing really bother me though
It is his superior attitude when he speaks about faith, religion and religious people.
The three examples he selected from the OT and NT are really a poor choice and shows a real shallowness in his understanding and knowledge of the Christian faith. It worked with this audience but it will backfire on him
His statistics were not honestly reported. How can he bring people together and insult them ?
A prayer to “reconcile the belief of each with the good of all” Little does he know, that is impossible.
It is impossible to a complete degree, but is pursued in good conscience – it’s the American way.
I don’t understand what you’re saying.
I think you have neglected to consider that this speech was given with in a certain place and context, and Obama spoke within that context.
I can list hundreds of reprehensible acts encouraged by god in the Bible, if that’s what you want, you sinister book reading, sadist “final justice” believing cretin.
It is my personal policy not to respond to anyone who call me names, use profanity or insult me.
Have a better day
Hear hear! Whilst I disagree with a part of your post (I don’t believe Obama’s understanding of Christianity to be shallow), I do agree with your basic right to say all of it. In addition, I FULLY support your stance on ignoring insults. People on both sides of the argument spend too much time and effort slinging mud in the other side’s direction and flaming each other over the internet. Obama’s speech was about a call to reason as much as a call to renewal, a call which so many seem deaf to.
I’ll take that as a “No, I don’t want my book proven cruel and unjust, I prefer to ignore those verses.”
to me it all living life we now of. save all life. are we perfect union of killers. times is not a good answer for aburtion
hurray!! i love the sepoeration of church and state!!! if u dont well then freak u!!!
Only a Christian can tell the true goal behind Obama’s comments. He wants to silence Christianity. Where pluralism has been tried, people of true faith have been persecuted. He attacks the inherency of Scripture, which proves he’s not a Christian. You can’t be a Christian and deny the Bible as truth. This is what Obama and others are opposed to. They want an ineffective faith to exist in people that opens them to deception and manipulation by politicians like him. His prayer everynight
Then do it. I encourage you to search the Bible. Stay in it. For the Bible is a mirror. You will see that your life has become about hatred instead of love. But you might try opening your mind enough to search the Bible for Christ’s words of incredible love and peace. I pray you’ll find a place for God in your heart.
Yes, he spoke in a black liberal church with Jeremiah Wright as the pastor. By him agreeing with their 10 point pamplet shows his evil bias and intent on this nation. He’s a deceived individual as are so many. They hate God in his truth. So they’ve devised a cunning way to silence it under the label of peace of tolerance and of diversity. But all the while, Democrats are passing hate crimes bills that silence a large portion of Americans. They tolerate not those who oppose their Nazi ideal
If the scriptures are written by the most intelligent being in the universe, shouldn’t you be doing what it says and gathering stones for anyone who disagrees with you so you can pelt them with rocks until they are dead, or do you prefer burning at the stake?
@dirtyharrycallahan1 Keep the faith
I believe he’s two-face and is playing the same trick that Governor Steve Beshear (D) of Kentucky has done. Besear played “Christian” until he didn’t need to anymore.
