An O-pology
I recently made an embarrassing mistake I need to own up to, because I always hold other Christians accountable when they make this mistake. I passed on what I thought was a fact before checking it out.
As Christians we need to make sure something is true before we affirm it's so. For example, rumors that BO is a secret Muslim. My mistake was passing on that Obama had supported on allegedly communist candidate in Kenyan politics as alleged in Jerome Corsi's "Obama Nation". Special thanks to Brian for pointing out that the allegations are based on spurious evidence at best.
In researching this article however I did come across some great in-depth stories on Obama's history with other unsavory characters and organizations. While I don't believe in guilt by association, you have to wonder why so many radicals, from Reverend Wright to William Ayres, are so in love with Obama if he's the "uniter" he claims to be. He talks a moderate game, but when you look at his (albeit thin) voting record, and even his much touted history as a community organizer working with verifiably communist groups such as ACORN (see article below), you see that he is quite possibly the most leftist candidate to ever run for the office of President.
His refusal to support The Born Alive Infant Protection Act is just one example of what an ideologue he is. "Change" is a great slogan. But Obama doesn't offer anything new- just the same old socialist utopian ideas wrapped in slick marketing.

Barack Obama, Abortion Extremist by Rich Lowry on National Review Online
Barack Obama, Abortion Extremist by Rich Lowry on National Review Online: "Asked by Pastor Rick Warren when a baby gets rights, Obama said, “I’m absolutely convinced that there is a moral and ethical element to this issue.” This is a crashing banality couched as thoughtfulness. If Obama is so sensitive to the moral element of the issue, why does he want to eliminate any existing restrictions on the procedure?"
What Did Obama Do As A Community Organizer? by Byron York on National Review Online
What Did Obama Do As A Community Organizer? by Byron York on National Review Online: "Barack Obama often cites his time as a community organizer here in Chicago as one of the experiences that qualify him to hold the nation’s highest office. “I can bring this country together,” he said in a debate last February. “I have a track record, starting from the days I moved to Chicago as a community organizer.”"
Joe Biden and American Charity by Byron York on National Review Online
Joe Biden and American Charity by Byron York on National Review Online: "It has become a common practice, when a presidential candidate releases his or her tax returns, for reporters and pundits to examine how much the candidate gave to charity. In September 1992, for example, when the Washington Post reported that Al Gore, then the Democratic candidate for vice president, had released his tax returns, the second paragraph in the story noted that out of income of $183,558, Gore “donated $1,727 — less than 1 percent — to charity.” Other stories about other candidates routinely included figures on charitable giving."
On Sex-Ed Ad, McCain Is Right by Byron York on National Review Online
On Sex-Ed Ad, McCain Is Right by Byron York on National Review Online: "In recent days, a consensus has developed among the Obama campaign and commentators in the press that John McCain has decided to lie his way to the White House. Exhibit A in this new consensus is McCain’s ad, released last week, claiming that Barack Obama’s “one accomplishment” in the field of education was “legislation to teach ‘comprehensive sex education’ to kindergartners.”"
