Obama Supporters Take His Name as Their Own
By JODI KANTOR (The New York Times)
Published: June 29, 2008
Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.
“Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.
With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.
The result is a group of unlikely-sounding Husseins: Jewish and Catholic, Hispanic and Asian and Italian-American, from Jaime Hussein Alvarez of Washington, D.C., to Kelly Hussein Crowley of Norman, Okla., to Sarah Beth Hussein Frumkin of Chicago.
Jeff Strabone of Brooklyn now signs credit card receipts with his newly assumed middle name, while Dan O’Maley of Washington, D.C., jiggered his e-mail account so his name would appear as “D. Hussein O’Maley.” Alex Enderle made the switch online along with several other Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, and now friends greet him that way in person, too.
Mr. Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. Hussein is a family name inherited from a Kenyan father he barely knew, who was born a Muslim and died an atheist. But the name has become a political liability. Some critics on cable television talk shows dwell on it, while others, on blogs or in e-mail messages, use it to falsely assert that Mr. Obama is a Muslim or, more fantastically, a terrorist.
“I am sick of Republicans pronouncing Barack Obama’s name like it was some sort of cuss word,” Mr. Strabone wrote in a manifesto titled “We Are All Hussein” that he posted on his own blog and on dailykos.com.
So like the residents of Billings, Mont., who reacted to a series of anti-Semitic incidents in 1993 with a townwide display of menorahs in their front windows, these supporters are brandishing the name themselves.
“My name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name,” said Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis, who changed her name online “to show how little meaning ‘Hussein’ really has.”
The movement is hardly a mass one, and it has taken place mostly online, the digital equivalent of wearing a button with a clever, attention-getting message. A search revealed hundreds of participants across the country, along with a YouTube video and bumper stickers promoting the idea. Legally changing names is too much hassle, participants say, so they use “Hussein” on Facebook and in blog posts and comments on sites like nytimes.com, dailykos.com and mybarackobama.com, the campaign’s networking site.

I have two things to say...
1) Barack Obama is not a Christian. At least not by the definition of "Christian" which means follower of Jesus and His Word. Why you ask?
Simple.
He is not only Pro-Choice (Pro-Death of babies), but also in favor of Partial Birth Abortions, and if that does not work, killing them as they are coming out of the womb (or, being born). You may possibly be deceived into thinking this way at first becoming or prior to being a Christian, but once you are truly a Christian (not just a title), there is no way you can be in favor of this act which is clearly against the Bible. See the following Link for what the Bible clearly teaches about Abortion... http://www.livingwaters.com/witnessingtool/whatGodswordsaysaboutabortion.shtml
He is also in support of Homosexual Marriage, which is clearly a Sin/Abomination and against what God's Word teaches.
2) Liberalism is clearly a Mental Disorder!

JAFFA, Israel – A blog posting on Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign site urges Americans to take action to secure the release of imprisoned terrorist fundraiser Sami Al-Arian, comparing the controversial former professor to Martin Luther King and
Malcolm X.
The posting is just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian rhetoric published on the user-friendly MyObama community blog pages. The Obama campaign does not monitor all blog material, which is posted by registered users, but says it removes offending posts that are brought to the attention of the administrators.
In a blog post on Obama's site titled, "We are all Palestinians," user Ulf Erlingsson laments what he calls the "harsh" conditions of Al-Arian's imprisonment – explaining he "lives in segregation … is not allowed any visitors and is given only two phone calls a month."
The posting quotes Agha Saeed, chair of the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections, comparing Al-Arian to King and Malcom X, who "symbolized the struggle for human rights in the fifties and sixties. Dr. Sami Al-Arian has come to symbolize the current struggle for human rights."
Al-Arian is also labeled an "internationally recognized political prisoner."
Obama's site readers are called upon to "take urgent action. Just 3 phone calls and 1 E-mail to make a difference."

Will pro-abortion Catholics be excommunicated?
Will pro-abortion Catholics be excommunicated?
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 6/28/2008 4:05:00 AM
Catholic pro-life activist Judie Brown is railing against members of Barack Obama's National Catholic Advisory Council because of their ardent support of abortion on demand.
The Wall Street Journal reports that of the 21 senators, congressmen, and governors listed on the Council's National Leadership Committee, 17 have a 90-100 percent approval rating from the National Abortion Rights Action League. Senator Obama himself has a 100% approval rating from the group that now carries the name "NARAL Pro-Choice America."
Judie Brown, founder of American Life League (ALL), says Obama's NARAL Catholics give their church a bad name. "Every single one of those so-called Catholics who is in any way advising a pro-abortion individual who is running for president, should each be told by their bishop that they may not any longer receive Holy Communion -- and that they are, in fact, are no longer Catholics in good standing with the church. But the bishops are not telling these people that, and that is how this sort of thing happens," Brown explains.

Americans shouldn't elect Barack Obama for President...
Add me to the list!
James L. Lambert - Guest Columnist - 6/27/2008 4:00:00 PM
I agree with the growing number of people in the Christian community who are making the case that Americans shouldn't elect Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. I find myself in the company of people like Bill Keller, James Dobson, former NFL player and pastor Dr. O'Neal Dozier, Dr. Gary Cass, and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, who all believe the Illinois senator would be a bad choice.
Focus on the Family's James Dobson took aim at Obama this week on his radio show, saying he things the Democratic candidate is "deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology." Dobson and others are particularly upset by Obama's support of gay marriage, abortion rights, and partial-birth abortion, as well as his tendency to favor a socialistic philosophy in government.
For my fellow Christians who are "on the fence" when it comes to the November election, consider the following:
- Obama has been a strong defender of the abortion industry, as demonstrated by his speaking appearance at a Planned Parenthood convention.
- He has been sympathetic to the cause of gay marriage. He recently appeared in the gay magazine Advocate.
- Obama has said that there are many ways to heaven -- which flies in the face of claims by Christ himself who said He is the only way to God. In a response to Dobson and other Evangelicals, Obama has stated that "folks haven't been reading their Bible." Yet Obama's belief in the "big tent" of salvation (with there being "many paths to God") runs completely contrary to scripture.
- The sacrifice of Christ on the cross becomes meaningless in Obama's worldview, according to Jesse Lee Peterson. Peterson, an ordained minister and director of the Brotherhood of a New Destiny, recently appeared on my local TV show. Dr. Gary Cass, founder of Christian Anti-Defamation League agrees. "Why did Jesus have to die in the first place?" Cass asks. "Christians believe Christ had to bear the punishment for their sins and only personal faith in Christ in Christ's death and resurrection can save [us] from eternal judgment."
- Obama would likely nominate extremely liberal Supreme Court justices if he is elected, so contends Dr. O'Neal Dozier. Rev. Dozier, pastor of The Worldwide Christian Center in Florida, is appalled at the ignorance many black Christians have pertaining to the Democratic presidential candidate. Obama, notes Dozier, has made it crystal clear that he would appoint future Supreme Court justices in the mold of Justice Ginsberg -- a former ACLU counsel who has shown by her court decisions that she believes the high court should do more than interpret the law. Obama's Supreme Court nominees would dramatically affect legal opinion for a generation. Case law involving free speech, freedom of religion, and the continued slaughter of millions of babies will depend on the make-up of this court. Dozier is deeply concerned that many black Christians will end up voting for Obama "simply because he is black." It is Dozier's opinion that many black pastors "are weak spiritually," making it difficult for them to take a moral stand on cultural issues (i.e., abortion, gay "marriage," religious freedom, monogamy and government dependency). Dozier sees the need for pastors in his community to teach Christians the importance of living right before God.
"The media has given [Obama] a free pass" when it comes to his core beliefs, says Keller. Like Dobson, Petterson, Dozier, and Cass, Keller questions some of Obama's basic core religious beliefs. "He doesn't believe in Hell…Obama has stated that even though his mother didn't believe in Christ as her Savior, she is in Heaven." Regarding Obama's almost 20-year association with Trinity Church, Keller said that "two of my board members are from Chicago -- and Trinity has always been known as a radical church ... one that [promotes] black separatism and black liberation theology."

Not only does he support abortion, he has voted in favor of partial birth abortion.
Not only is he for partial birth abortion, he is also for finishing the job (killing) the baby, if the abortion failed.
In my opinion, how can we as Christians (followers/obeyers of Jesus and His Word ---unless you are a phony pretend Christian who will here the words, "Depart from Me, ... I never knew you...") even possibly consider such a person? SIMPLE...
Answer=Moral Decay in our Nation (due to the removal of God and His Word from schools, and everywhere), our so called politcal correctness in never wanting to offend anyone...even when it's the truth (and so be it if the truth hurts...let it hurt and learn from it!), and the very simple, but true fact that, "Liberalism is a mental disorder" as stated by Michael Savage.
