The Kingdom Come

This game is hilarious, but I couldn't bring myself to play the Obama team.

Barack Obama made the following statement:

"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." -- source

Perhaps at face value and after decades of liberals trying to tell us the United States of America wasn't built on Christian values, Obama's stand sounds simply like a man defending the rights of his fellow Americans. But upon further consideration, we should look at the contrast of Obama telling Israel that they shouldn't build more settlements in their own territory because it would be insensitive to the surrounding Muslims.

In Indianapolis, near where I live every summer the city hosts an event called The Indiana Black Expo (IBE). Typically, the event experiences some sort of violence but in the summer of 2010 there was a mass shooting where 9 people were injured (source). But it was the response to this situation that highlights the real trouble.

Tanya Bell, president and CEO of the IBE said a task force was being formed to examine "the root causes of youth violence" (source). Here is where there seems to be a very huge blind spot in much of the black community. When you have groups that focus on race; such as calling an event "Black Expo" or having "Black History Month", "Black Miss America", "Negro College Fund" and such then it should be clear that is seeding and perpetuating a root of bitterness (Hebrews 12:14-15) and resentment.

The Obama White House has tasked NASA to "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering." -- source

The elites often like to claim that while pre-Medieval and Medieval Europe was groping around in the so-called "Dark Ages", Islam and Muslim culture was imparting to the world, great scientific strides. But let's back up a little. Where were the great centers of learning and knowledge resource BEFORE the advent of Islam?

I often play civilization strategy/war games on the computer, both online and off. During an online game, I started joking with some of the other players about their tax policies on their population and said that my taxation was set at 100% and that my population had 0% unemployment because my citizens were all receiving government subsidies. To further the geeky fun, I told them I disbanded my society's military after making promises to the liberal supporters that if they elected me, I would make sure all our enemies loved us and would never want to kill us.

For you gamers out there, stop for a moment and think what it would really be like if you put into practice in your civilization games, the agendas of men like Barak Obama.

America perhaps has lost its way.  America used to be a shining city on a hill, an example of freedom done the right way.  Whether by peaceful example or after wars, America would export its most precious commodity; "American Exceptionalism".  American Exceptionalism was the notion America is not merely an extension of European culture, but is uniquely positioned as a truly immigrant developed country.  A country that represents the best of the nations.

Before you read this, please remember you are first Christians, then Americans (if you live in America), and then somewhere after that you are whatever race you are. Please, let's try to be civil and not get emotional. Please, please, please follow the links I give in this post -- especially the links about "Jim Crow Laws", "black codes", and the link on "Radical Republicans" -- this will reveal why after the Civil War, we had another 100 years of oppression.

In the coming days, weeks and months, we will be treated to a barrage of pundits trying to tell us what we did or didn't hear Obama say with our own ears.  These will typically come as sound bites followed by lengthy commentary pieces presented as "news". I wanted to take the time to give a detailed citizen's response to Obama's Health Care speech.

My name is Roderick Edwards.  I am a 41 year old husband to one wife and father of a child.  I work for a living, pay taxes and if all goes well, someday plan to die a happy and fulfilled man.

What follows is a line-per-line interaction with Obama's Health Care speech as he delivered to Congress on Sept 09, 2009.  My interaction is in blue and signified with the preface RKE:

On September 7, 2009 I was interviewed by our local media about the issue of Obama speaking to school students, without parental consent. Obviously, they only used a few seconds of the five minute interview, but here it is:
