Subject: Daddy, How Was I Born?
A
little boy goes to his father and asks: “Daddy, how was I born?”
The
father answers: “Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!
Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a
date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe.
“We
sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my
hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one
of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button,
nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said:

Why
I (A Black Man) Can't Vote For Obama

Brown is a fabulous concert pianist, man of God and is black.
Here is his reasoning for not voting for Obama. This article needs to
be published or spread out via Email to as many as possible. It's
good stuff!
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 shoul d 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 Hilary Clinton as t he 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.
Lets take a look at the practice he wanted to continue.
The 5 Step
Partial Birth Abortion procedure
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 its 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 the
nation?
Blessings,
Huntley Brown

Subject: An Amazing Dog
This
dog, BRUTUS, is truly an amazing animal!
The K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at McChord. He's huge - part Boxer and
part British Bull Mastiff and tops the scales at 200 lbs. His handler took the
picture. Brutus is running toward me because he knows I have some Milk Bone
treats, so he's slobbering away! I had to duck around a tree just before he got
to me in case he couldn't stop, but he did. Brutus won the Congressional Medal
of Honor last year from his tour in Iraq . His handler and four other soldiers
were taken hostage by insurgents. Brutus and his handler communicate by sign
language and he gave Brutus the signal that meant 'go away but come back and
find me'. The Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus. He came back later and q
uietly tore the throat o ut of one guard at one door and another guard at
another door. He then jumped against one of the doors repeatedly (the guys were
being held in an old warehouse) until it opened. He went in and untied his
handler and they all escaped. He's the first K9 to receive this honor. If he
knows you're ok, he's a big old lug and wants to sit in your lap. Enjoys the
company of cats.
K-9 Congressional Medal of Honor Winner
Thought you'd find this interesting. Talk about
animal intelligence and bonding with humans!
Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves
and that they depend on you to make their life a quality life!
A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
1.
My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely
to be painful.
2.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3.
Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4.
Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You
have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your
voice when speaking to me.
6.
Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7.
Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and
yet, I choose not to bite you.
8.
Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if
something might be bothering me. Perhaps I 'm not getting the right food,
I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9.
Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10.
On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't
bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me
if you are there, because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care
of them.
Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters
Now please pass this on to other pet owners. We do not have to wait for
Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on
earth and has four legs!
