What do you really believe? Same-sex Marriage

By William Henley

Liberal - Democrat

Marriage is the union of people who love each other. It should be legal for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals, to ensure equal rights for all. Support same-sex marriage. Opposed to the creation of a constitutional amendment establishing marriage as the union of one man and one woman. All individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, have the right to marry. Prohibiting same-sex citizens from marrying denies them their civil rights. Many liberals believe and argued the issue of same sex marriage is equal to civil rights for African Americans.

Conservative - Republican

Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Oppose same-sex marriage. Support Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), passed in 1996, which affirms the right of states not to recognize same-sex marriages licensed in other states.
Requiring citizens to sanction same-sex relationships violates moral and religious beliefs of millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims and others, who believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman.

What do you really believe? Embryonic Stem Cell Research

By William Henley

Liberal - Democrat
Support the use of embryonic stem cells for research. It is necessary (and ethical) for the government to fund embryonic stem cell research, which will assist scientists in finding treatments and cures for diseases. An embryo is not a human. The tiny blastocyst (embryos used in embryonic stem cell research) has no human features. Experimenting on embryos/embryonic stem cells is not murder. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to cure chronic and degenerative diseases which current medicine has been unable to effectively treat. Embryonic stem cells have been shown to be effective in treating heart damage in mice.

Conservative - Republican
Support the use of adult and umbilical cord stem cells only for research. It is morally and ethically wrong for the government to fund embryonic stem cell research. Human life begins at conception. The extraction of stem cells from an embryo requires its destruction. In other words, it requires that a human life be killed. Adult stem cells have already been used to treat spinal cord injuries, Leukemia, and even Parkinson's disease. Adult stem cells are derived from umbilical cords, placentas, amniotic fluid, various tissues and organ systems like skin and the liver, and even fat obtained from liposuction. Embryonic stem cells have not been successfully used to help cure disease. To conservatives creating a life for the purpose of killing it is reprehensible and therefore wrong.

What do you really believe? Abortion

By William Henley

Liberal - Democrat
 A woman has the right to decide what happens with her body. An unborn baby is not a human life, so it does not have separate individual rights. The government should provide taxpayer funded abortions for women who cannot afford them. The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a woman regarding her own body and the government must protect this right. Women have the right to legal abortions, including partial birth abortion. My only question is, if life doesn't begin at conception, at what point in the cycle do you consider it life?

Conservative - Republican 
Human life begins at conception. Abortion is the murder of a human being. An unborn baby, as a living human being, has separate rights from those of the mother. The mother has rights, but so does the child. Oppose taxpayer-funded abortion. Taxpayer dollars should not be used for the government to provide abortions. Support legislation to prohibit partial birth abortions, called the "Partial Birth Abortion* Ban"(*Partial Birth Abortion: the killing of an unborn baby of at least 20 weeks by pulling it out of the birth canal with forceps, but leaving the head inside. An incision is made in the back of the baby's neck and the brain tissue is suctioned out. The head is then removed from the uterus.)

What do you really believe? Religion & Government

By William Henley

Liberal - Democrat
Support the separation of church and state. The Bill of Rights implies a separation of church and state. Religious expression has no place in government. The two should be completely separate. Government should not support religious expression in any way. All reference to God in public and government spaces should be removed (eg., the Ten Commandments should not be displayed in Federal buildings). Religious expression has no place in government.

Conservative - Republican
The phrase “separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution. The First Amendment to the Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This prevents the government from establishing a national church/denomination. However, it does not prohibit God from being acknowledged in schools and government buildings. Symbols of Christian heritage should not be removed from public and government spaces (eg., the Ten Commandments should continue to be displayed in Federal buildings). Government should not interfere with religion and religious freedom.

William Henley on WHY Blacks should vote for Obama (sarcasm font is ON)

I've heard several Christians tell me that they are voting for Obama because they believe he is the lesser of two evils. Here is a list of his pro-Christian policies. He is a staunch supporter of abortion, even ninth month abortions. Has made it illegal for doctors to help resuscitate babies born from failed abortions. He is a supporter of redefining marriage as between one man and one woman. He has vowed to continue to provide advocacy for the gay and lesbian agenda. He is now fining Christian organizations who refuse to go against their conscience and the bible and provide abortion inducing drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization procedures. He has overturned don't ask don't tell policy in the military and now the military celebrated its first gay pride month. How could a Christian not vote for this! It has Jesus written all over it. Besides he is a black man, and all blacks should vote for him.

Mike Huckabee

I don’t know whether to be outraged or just crack up laughing at this story, but the UN-affiliated Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe announced that it plans to send monitors to America next month to watch over our election. They want to make sure no conservative groups commit voter suppression or intimidation or violate any election laws at polling places. Of course, they were invited here by liberal groups, who have suffered terrible intimidation in the past, such as Tea Party members swinging bats outside polling places. Oh no, wait: that was the New Black Panthers. Maybe they mean Republicans violating laws like letting felons vote in Minnesota or dead people vote in Chicago. No, wait, those weren’t Republicans, either.

Oh well, at least we can rest easy knowing that our elections will be eyeballed by the same people who insure fair elections around the world, in places like Iran and Venezuela. Maybe they can even get some help from members of the UN Human Rights Council, like Nigeria, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China. You know what, come to think of it, I don’t think we really need the UN monitoring American elections. But I do think America needs to start monitoring the money we spend on the U.N.

This is the quality of morality we are voting for.... are you on this same page? Do you embrace this? Isn't our cultural and moral free fall giving you airsickness yet? Has your heart been so hardened that you can buy into this sleaze? SMH

New Obama video compares voting to losing virginity - Washington Times

m.washingtontimes.com

The Obama campaign has released a new innuendo-filled web video featuring actress and director Lena Dunham that compares voting to losing one's virginity.

Biden said: ‘Did Your Son Always Have Balls the Size of Cue Balls?’
My wife is convinced that Joe Biden is mentally impaired. Dementia. Something that makes him a bit nuts. This is not a political statement as much as wondering how good is it to have a person on the edge of insanity a heartbeat away from the President. What do you think?

Joe Biden to Father of Former Navy SEAL Killed in Benghazi: ‘Did Your Son Always Have Balls the Size

The father of one of the former Navy SEALs killed in the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya says President Barack Obama wouldn't even look him in the eye during the ceremony and Vice President Joe Biden was

Where the Obama Policy toward Islam is taking us

 Communities across the US are starting to pay the price for their apathetic attitude toward the rapid growth of Islam in America. Mosques in America have increased by 74% in the first decade of the new millennium. Even small communities are experiencing the spread of radical Islamic teachings.

Against the backdrop of the Muslim call to prayer five times a day being blasted over loudspeakers in cities like Dearborn, Mi., are the demands by Muslims that their Sharia Law be enforced in Islamic colonies. Some states like Kansas have passed laws against any foreign law taking precedence over any US law.

Several years ago an article in Human Events reported that then would be President Barack Hussein Obama proudly proclaimed back in 2007 that the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on earth.” A 2010 Time Magazine poll indicated that nearly 25% of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim. Certainly, if actions are any indicator--they are speaking loud and clear.

When Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently requested an audience with President Obama while he was in New York at the United Nations, Mr. Obama’s response was that he was unable to meet because of his tight schedule yet Mr. Obama had time to appear on the David Letterman television talk show. This was certainly not the first time President Obama embarrassed Prime Minister Netanyahu by failing to give him the courtesy due to any head of state. Shortly after being elected Prime Minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu visited the White House. Instead of being welcomed at the front door he and his staff were ushered in the back door, not served kosher food, and they were not given a special invitation to dine with the President which is a tradition that goes back many decades. This I know to be the absolute truth as I served in senior level positions in four administrations starting with President Nixon. When the leader of the Palestinians, Abu Mazen (a.k.a. Mahmoud Abbas), came to visit Mr. Obama the White House rolled out the red carpet and sent him home with some $400 million dollars in taxpayer funded aid. Quite a contrast, wouldn’t you say?

Muslims are serving in senior level positions on the staffs of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Secretary of Homeland Security. This is reflected throughout the rest of the federal government. For example, Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy Claire Lopez says that since a 2010 directive, the texts of more than 700 documents and 300 PowerPoint presentations having references to “Islamic extremisms” were purged. Lopez says that the State Department is working to criminalize any criticism of Islam and wants to bring US law into compliance with the Islamic law on slander.

Many of America’s political and religious leaders stand firm against radical Islam and the threat of violence against Israel and Western civilization, the outcome of the upcoming presidential election in November in America will determine how much “we the people” are willing to tolerate radical Islam in America. Political correctness blinds citizens and politicians alike, and it is a tool Muslims could easily use to hijack and colonize American society. America’s future as a free and democratic society hangs in the balance and our future is linked with Israel’s future.

America must remain as “One nation under God”–the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob –for our own survival as well as for the safety and survival of the only other country in the Middle East which shares our values--Israel. We must not allow political correctness to muzzle what we truly believe. Failure to do so could be our undoing.

There are a number of things he has embraced in this area while President that trouble me in addition to what is above. 
 
May 2009 – While Obama does not host any National Day of Prayer event at the White House, he does host White House Iftar dinners in honor of Ramadan.
 
April 2010 – Christian leader Franklin Graham is disinvited from the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer Event because of complaints from the Muslim community.
 
April 2010 – The Obama administration requires rewriting of government documents and a change in administration vocabulary to remove terms that are deemed offensive to Muslims, including jihad, jihadists, terrorists, radical Islamic, etc
 
August 2010 – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on multiple occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero, while at the same time he was silent about a Christian church being denied permission to rebuild at that location.
 
2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.
 
October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House.
 
February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.

I don't believe that Obama is a Muslim, He just grew up in it. I do believe he has a bias toward Islam that I cannot support as a Christian. I would rather NOT vote then vote for an agenda that embraces and encourages an antichrist religion in the USA.

The most essential rule: “Deny! Deny! Deny!”

    In the 1967 film “A Guide for the Married Man,” a husband, played by a peerless Walter Matthau, is given lessons in ways to cheat on his wife safely. The most essential rule: “Deny! Deny! Deny!”—no matter what. In an instructive scene, he’s shown a wife undone by shock, and screaming, with reason: She has just walked in on her husband making love to a glamorous stranger.

    “What are you doing,” she wails, “who is that woman?”

    “What woman, where?” the husband serenely counters, as he and the tart in question get out of bed and calmly dress.

    So the scene proceeds, with the distraught wife pointing to the woman she clearly sees before her, while her husband, unruffled, continues to look blankly at her, asking, “What woman?” Confused by her spouse’s unblinking assurance, she gives up. Two minutes later she’s asking him what he’d like for dinner.

    For much of the past four years, the Obama administration’s propensity for asserting views of reality wildly at odds with those evident to most rational citizens has looked increasingly like a page from that film script.

    All administrations conceal, falsify and tell lies—this is understood—but there’s no missing the distinctive quality of the prevaricating issuing from the White House in these four years.
