This video makes me sick. I wonder if Mr. Obama knows what his friends at Planned Parenthood are up to. Is this what he means by them doing "great work" when he praised them in his speech to them? I have heard so many stories like this one.I commend this group for of college students for their undercover work with Planned Parenthood. I pray that something is done about this. This stuff should not be going on. I pray that it is stopped. I pray that tax payers money will stopped being used to give this awful place money. I'm sorry, they are not helping these women. This is criminal.

I pray...
I pray that what is being discussed in this acticle does not become reality but it is what I feared. It is why I didn't vote for Obama and encouraged others not too as well. According to some aides some of his first acts when taking office is to overturn executive orders put in place by President Bush. First to fund embryonic stem cell research. Second to repeal limits on what other countries can do with federal funding, in other words our tax money will be allowed to fund abortions overseas. For those who tried to tell me that President Bush didn't do anything to help the Pro Life cause. I think you have been proved wrong by Obama. Unfortunately it appears that Obama has a pro abortion agenda and he is not going to be shy about it. I pray this doesn't happen. This upsets me on so many levels. I don't even have the energy to discuss right now. But just so anyone reading may want to know how I feel. Josh and I have an appointment on December 8th to begin the process of embyo adoption. The same embyros that Obama wants to destroy through funding are our hope as an infertile couple for being able to provide our daughter with siblings and a chance for these embryos to have life. If we are so blessed to become parents through embyro adoption you can bet the first person that will be sent pictures of our newborn baby(s) will be President Elect Obama. Maybe then he'll get it.

It is Done
Now that the election is over, I have had some time to react, reflect and grapple with the outcome. I am very disappointed in the outcome but the country voted and 5% more of America decided that Barack Obama should be our new president. I am not really surprised in the outcome. I knew it would have taken a miracle for anyone other than Obama to be elected but I was hoping and praying for a miracle. I trust that God has a plan for this and I in the days to come am finding ways to move on. I congratulate President Elect Obama for his victory. I am glad that our country was able to show that we are not a racist country and electing a biracial president is a step forward. But I would challenge President Elect Obamas comments the other night about not having to wonder if anything is possible in America. Electing a biracial president was a big deal but we still have barriers. We have not elected a woman. And before this year I was one of those people who were pretty pessimistic about there being sexism. I am no longer pessimistic. I believe that we have a long way to go in this department. And I am not just talking about the treatment of Sarah Palin, I am also talking about the treatment of Hillary Clinton. I do not agree with Senator Clintons views and probably would not vote for her but I think in her and in Sarah Palin we have been given to pieces of evidence that sexism is alive and well in the U.S.A. I hope that one day these barriers can be torn down too.
I also have to say that I am disappointed in our country. I am not disappointed that we elected someone who has a different skin color than the majority of our country. Like I said, I think that is a great step forward. But I am disappointed that this man to many people was not judged by his character but by the color of his skin. He was not in my opinion elected by some because of his character but some pulled the lever for him because of his color. I am not saying that everyone did this but the fact that anyone in our country would is as disheartening as the fact that someone wouldn't pull the lever for someone of color if they beleived in their good character and what they stood for. I personally would be happy to pull the lever for any candidate who shares my views no matter what their race, color, age, sex or creed is. I didn't pull the lever for Obama. Not becuase of his color but because of his character which I believe I have reason to question. And because I don't agree with most of his policies.
In my previous blog posts I have talked about some of my objections to Obama. I am not backing down on them. I will respect him as my President because I am told to do so as a Christian. I feel I must respect him but he is going to have to earn my trust. As an aside, I would like to also challenge anyone reading to think about this with respect to our current President. I have seen so much hatred and disrepect spewn out about President Bush. I will be the first to admit that I don't agree with everything he has done. And I wouldn't expect to agree with any other President completely, they are humans after all. But I am frankly disgusted with how disrespectful people are to President Bush. As a Christian you are called to respect those in authority. It does not mean that you need to agree with them but you do need to respect them. The man has served our country as President during some very tough times. He has kept our country free from attack for 7 years. He has made great strides in helping throughout the world. And you know what us citizens don't know what goes on behind those closed doors. When President Elect Obama walks through the White House doors and gets the inside information, I am sure he will see things differently than he does now as a citizen or even as a senator.
But anyway back to my point. Obama does need to earn my trust. I am honestly disgusted with what he was able to get away with in the campaign. He was not treated fairly becuase he was not pressed about the tough questions. Journalism in our country is in a sad state and quite frankly it is frightening. You see that in other tyranical countries, not in America. And I think we saw that in this election. Americans were not given an opportunity to cast a vote for a fair election because fair treatment was not given and truthful information was not given. I have never seen double standards before like I saw in this election. Senator Obama attended a racist church for 20 years and he was able to just dissaociate himslef from that once running for president. He was not questioned. He was not pressed. If John McCain had attended a church like that he would not have standed a chance. But the media decided to spend more time attacking Govenor Palin for her clothes and shoes than they did on Senator Obama's background, assocations and voting record. They decided to listen to his speeches and not look beyond them. I have seen other leaders be elected for the same reason and it was disaster. I am not calling Obama Hitler but the similarities in their rise to power are startling. I am disappointed that our media and our citizens were not willing to vet this candidate who was just elected to the highest office. I for one bypassed the mainstream media and sought out my own information on him. I looked up what a communtiy organizer was, I looked up his voting record, I listened to speeches and unscriped interviews. And I believe I was discerning in what i found. I found somone who I could never vote for. I saw a man who called himself a Christian and then behind closed doors or in front of certain audiences he bad mouthed Christians, he mocked the Bible and mocked those who had different views from him. I am still very disturbed with how he mocked an American citizen named Joe Wurzelbacher when Joe asked a question and Senator Obama let an unscripted answer slip. The type of attack that Joe received from the media and from the Obama campaign was something you should never see happen in America and I hope that those sorts of attacks don't happen in the future. I saw a man who had an extremely liberal voting record which was not even questioned.
I disagree with the policies of President Elect Obama but for the sake of the country I hope that he can suceed. I hope that he really does work to be my presidnet as well even though I didn't vote for him. I am not happy with the appointments he has made which already indicate that he will be more partisan than bi partisan. But I will give him a chance and hope that he is able to do what he claims he wants to do with respect to uniting to move our country forward. I intend to hold him and our other representiives in DC accountable. I will be watching the legislature and making my voice heard when I am not in agreement or when I see signs of corruption and partisanship.
I am looking forward to being more involved in my community and more aware of our government. If I have learned anything from all of this, it is that in order to be discerning I have to be informed. I encourage everyone else to do the same.
I am glad that the election if over. I am looking forward to seeing what God is calling me to do. I believe I am being called to do more than I am currently doing but the picture is not clear quite of yet of what that will look like. I have been inspired that my life can and will make a difference, if I allow God to use me. I know that has always been true but I have been inspired further by seeing God raise up one of his daughters to a national platform. I hope to follow in her footsteps with the grace that she has shown. Who knows where God will take me. Maybe one day my name will be on a ballot too.

It's Not Good
Here is a letter from a Canadian talking about the healthcare system that our country wants to adopt ( if Obama is elected). I knew all of this before but here is a first hand account. After reading this if you still want this system in the US, I am sure you can move to Canada. I hear it's beautiful and I think there are probably some people up there that would love to switch places with you and move to America to get the medical care they need.
To Whom It May Concern.We have watched with great interest over the past year the on going election process in your beautiful country. We have the social health care system that is being batted around by your Democratic Party and thought you might be interested to hear from someone in British Columbia, Canada ...Our health care system in Canada began under the best of intentions ... "Health Care for All" and we have heard many times that most Americans believe our system is an excellent one. DON'T BELIEVE IT AMERICA!!!! Our health care system is collapsing. We are a country of about 30 million people and have a national debt of 720 billion dollars. The growth of this debt has slowed but only at the expense of our health care system, schools, social programs and our military.In many cases we have to wait up to a year or longer for CAT Scans, up to a year for a specialist appointment and more than a year for surgery. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford it and smart enough to do it you take your problem across the border into the USA and pay for what you need there to ensure you will at least live. Lots of Canadians are doing just that. Our hospitals in British Columbia are dirty, over crowded, understaffed and they can't keep up with the load of patients they have to see. Our Doctors and nurses are worked to the bone and stretched to the limits. You think you are finally going to have that surgery you waited so long for and you get to the hospital only to find out that it was cancelled because the operating rooms could not be staffed. Wards are being closed because of personnel shortages and patients are sleeping in the hallways.We have the finest doctors and nurses in the world but we are losing more and more of them to other countries where they can receive better pay, be appreciated for their work and have a life with their own families. A lot of them are in America. Family doctors are a rarity here in Canada now. Clinics are the only way most of us can get care and we often see a different doctor every time. Choice of doctor? gone ... choice of specialist? .... gone - you take what you get.Our school systems have suffered greatly. If you think you have problems with your public school systems in America just add health care to the list of things that need to be paid for and see what happens. Good programs that we did have are being cut left right and center because of the drain ... our schools are bulging at the seams ... they are overcrowded and under funded ... we simply do not have the money to sustain our social programs. One of our daughters is a special education teachers assistant trained to work in the school systems here. She has four children and is so discouraged by the failing of the system she home schools all of them.When we started hearing about the social health care system that has been suggested to you in America we decided to warn you all about what the cost will be. If you go down the same road we have here in Canada ALL of you will pay and pay dearly no matter what income level you are. Once you are on the road and like us find it is the hugest money pit ever, how do you try and turn around again? Taxes, taxes and more taxes that never work. We are middle class Canadians - your version of "Joe the Plumber" - and because the middle class the the majority population in any country - WE ARE THE ONES WHO PAY THE MOST!No matter who wins your election America, your country has come a long way. It is an exciting time in your history but remember that voting with your heart is going to hit your wallet hard!If you want to go the road of public health care and be one of the highest taxed country in the world we will be more than happy to pass that title on to you but you won't like it. Just a view from a Canadian neighbour!Kindest Regards,Cam and Linda Vallee11372 87A AvenueDelta, British Columbia V4C 3A6

The Truth Hurts
I am so sick of people criticizing the McCain campaign for being negative and McCain supporters for being negative. There is a complete double standard going on. You know what. I agree with Sarah Palin, "it is not mean spirited or negative to bring up someone's voting record and associations, the American people deserve to know who they are voting for". I agree, we do. And if you have a lot of negative assocations in your past and you won't tell the truth about them, then it's going to sound negative when someone brings these things up. Does that mean they shouldn't be brought up? Absolutely not! We are electing a President. We are hiring a man to lead this country. We have every right to hear answers to these tough questions. And you know what else, I would bet that if the mainstream media was doing their job at giving us a full, clear and accurate pictures of ALL of the candidates, the McCain campaign would not have to have negative ads. But the reality is, they don't. And it is not "smear tactics" to bring up the truth about one's past. It does bother me that Obama had an ongoing relationship with an unrepentant terrorist ( as well as an anti American pastor for 20 years, a convicted slumlord felon as a friend and real estate "helper", etc.). But I have another point. Some people may say it doesn't matter that Obama had this relationship with Ayers. Well I do. But aside from that sometimes in life our decisions and judgements do have consequences. For example, my husband would not be able to pass the security tests needed to hold the job he holds today if he had a past relationship with William Ayers. It doesn't mean he couldn't get another job but he wouldn't be able to have the job he now holds. Why would the standards be any different for the President of the United States?! It truly baffles me.
But back to the negative press at McCain rallies. The one incidence of "kill him" being yelled out was determined by Secret Service to be unfounded. And I have been to 2 rallies and nothing like that was yelled. They were both very postitive experiences. You will always have some "wackos" that make their way into a crowd that large but it is not a "mob like" atmosphere at these rallies, as some mainstream media would like everyone to believe.
And since the mainstream media won't show you what's going on on the other side, I'll give you a few examples. Maybe these supporters for just listening when Obama said " go out and argue with your neighbors, get in their faces and tell them why they should vote for me".

let's look to Obama's official website for some examples of good, clean politics:
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/obama-supporters-wearing-sarah-palin-is-a-c-tee-shirts/
these shirts also showed up at an Obama rally. I didn't hear anything coming from Obama's mouth condeming these types of things.
But I did see John McCain setting some supporters straight...

I Couldn't Have Said It Better
I found a letter from Laura Ingraham regarding the media's treatment of Joe the Plumber. I couldn't have said it better myself. But I might add that what inferiorates me more than the media's treatment of Joe is Senator Obama and Senator Biden's treatment of Joe. It was extrememly disturbing to see them mocking Joe. You don't mock American citizens! They kept saying " I don't know any plumbers that make a quarter grand". Well Senator Obama, if you had listened to Joe you would have heard that he never claimed he did. He asked you a question. You answered it. You shot yourself in the foot. And all you know how to do is ridicule the American citizen that you were talking to. Yeah Mr. Obama, the same guy you claimed you were "fighting for". But he saw through your rhetoric and asked a tough question. It's not his fault that you messed up. Well actaully you didn't mess up, you just finally told the truth. All I can say is I am glad that their true colors are coming through. Wake up America! These guys are not going to work for you, they are going to work for them! And if you don't agree with them, you are going down too! Just ask Joe.
Wise words from Laura:
October 20, 2008Congratulations, Team Obama, we've still got two-plus weeks until Election Day and you're already destroying jobs. After last week's now-notorious encounter with Joe the Plumber, Obama's media foot soldiers were dispatched with a simple mission: destroy Joe. On Sunday's Fox and Friends, Joe announced their success; his business has been shut down.Thanks to the intrepid reporting of journalists who've obviously lost all sense of perspective, it turns out Joe has been fixing Ohioans' plumbing without a government-issued license. Talk about irony. Joe came under fire for humiliating Obama by noting his tax plans interfere with Joe's American Dream. He wanted to buy his plumbing company and expand it, but higher taxes on small businesses threaten to turn that dream into a nightmare. The left, in other words, used Big Government to silence Joe Citizen for speaking ill of Big Government.In turn, Americans have offered financial support to Joe - offers he's politely declined.Americans have taken to Joe for his willingness to go where the media refuses - that is, for actually speaking truth to power. Nothing's more infuriating than reporters allowing themselves to be used by politicians, yet that's exactly what's being done on a daily basis at CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. Joe got the opportunity to tell Obama directly that his tax plans - which penalize hard work while claiming to further America's best interests - were an insult to his intelligence.Meanwhile, conservative websites are left to do the real reporting on Obama. NewsMax's Ken Timmerman reports that as much as $63 million of Obama's $150 million September haul may originate from illegal foreign donations. (Conveniently, the campaign refuses to release the names of more than 80% of its 2.5 million contributors. ) Obama's tax returns also indicate that in 2000 and 2002, he violated Illinois state law by accepting speaking fees while serving as a state senator.The press is supposed to hold politicians accountable on behalf of the people. Yet while Obama collects millions in dubious donations and ACORN registers phantom voters in battleground states by the thousands, today's media is doing the Democrats' heavy lifting with its slash-and-smear campaign against people like Joe.Never before in our history has the media establishment been so derelict in its responsibilities, so one-sided in its coverage, that today it is nothing more than a cheerleader for the Obama campaign. Never with so much at stake for America's security and our way of life, has the media worked with such single-minded? zealousness? to elect a dilettante with so little experience and such faulty judgment.Is the type of bullying and intimidation that Joe's endured what Americans can expect from an Obama administration in response to serious criticism?? Will the media closest to the people - talk radio and the blogosphere - be the next targets?May God help us

Yet while Obama collects millions in dubious donations and ACORN registers phantom voters in battleground states by the thousands, today's media is doing the Democrats' heavy lifting with its slash-and-smear campaign against people like Joe.Never before in our history has the media establishment been so derelict in its responsibilities, so one-sided in its coverage, that today it is nothing more than a cheerleader for the Obama campaign. Never with so much at stake for America's security and our way of life, has the media worked with such single-minded? zealousness? to elect a dilettante with so little experience and such faulty judgment.Is the type of bullying and intimidation that Joe's endured what Americans can expect from an Obama administration in response to serious criticism?? Will the media closest to the people - talk radio and the blogosphere - be the next targets?May God help us
