A "Washington Post" reporter, E.J. Dionne on November 14, 2008, reminded Americans  --  right after Barack Obama was elected president  --  of one of Obama's "most important promises."  That "was to end the cultural and religious wars that have disfigured politics for four decades."  Obama's campaign promise was much like Bill Clinton's campaign promise in 1992 to keep abortion "safe, legal and rare."   

E.J. Dionne goes on in his column:  "Obama added: 'Nobody's pro-abortion.'  Once he assumes office, Obama might be tempted to forget that moment, issue pro-choice executive orders that the abortion rights movement expects, and move back to the sagging economy."   

Well, guess what?  Obama during his first day in office signed an executive order which will greatly increase abortions.  Yesterday, because of the Obama Democrat-controlled Congress, all federal abstinence funding ceased in America which of course will greatly increase abortions.   

Last week, the Obama Democrats in the House Financial Services Appropriations Subcommittee in the United States House of Representatives approved their annual appropriations bill with language which will gut the longstanding ban on funding in the District of Columbia for abortions paid for by American taxpayers which former Congressman Robert Dornan introduced many years ago.   

This week, Obama announced that he is changing government regulations to begin extending federal benefits to the partners of gay federal employees - which will essentially treats them like married couples.  According to the details, gay and lesbian partners of federal employees will be given access to health care benefits, financial benefits and relocation fees.  And of course this comes after Obama declared June to be "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month".

Obama's actions come after he received letters from prominent gay-rights groups, complaining that he had not done enough for them.

Then there was the decision this week by the Washington DC Board of Elections to reject the request of a coalition of black ministers to allow voters in the nation's capital to vote on overturning the City Council's recent decision to begin giving official recognition to gay marriages performed in other states.  They claimed the vote could lead to "discrimination".

This comes the same week that a new CBS News poll found that support for gay marriage has dropped by nine points in the last two months to only 33%.

Clearly the majority of the American people are opposed to gay marriage.  But the politicians in Washington have to hear from you.

This might come as a shock to those of you who have old-fashioned ideas about why the economy isn't so hot right now.  You may have notions that the problems are things such as too much consumer debt, a housing bubble caused by sub-prime mortgages...enabled by the government via Fannie Mae & Freddi Mac, or even too much money made available by the Fed, but you would be wrong. 

The folks in the Obama administration have identified a new culprit.  Big businesses.  Specifically, those that dominate their markets.

As if commandeering the banking, finance and auto industries weren't enough, a couple of weeks ago the Obama administration decided to throw a bomb at modern antitrust law.

Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust Christine Varney claims that the Justice Department can aid economic recovery by prosecuting businesses that have been successful in gaining large market shares. In her announcement last month she argued that "many observers agree" that our current recession reflects "a failure of antitrust" and "inadequate antitrust oversight."

So, the problem with our economy is businesses that have been so successful that they have gained a dominate share of their markets?  "Success" is our problem?

The White House declined to comment this week on whether or not President Obama agrees with his recent appointee who said the Pope is a "discredited leader". 

The man in question is Harry Knox, Obama's appointee to the White House Advisory Council of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, a government body that was started by former President Bush.  Knox currently serves as Director of the Faith and Religion program at the Human Rights Campaign, which is a homosexual rights advocacy group.

Knox is also the same guy who stated in a 2004 debate the St. Paul's letter to the Romans was "not true".

The fact that the President nominated Knox in the first place, to say nothing of the fact that he hasn't sacked him after these comments, says something about his level of concern over offending America's Christians.  And it's even more of an insult when you consider that Knox is Obama's appointee to the Faith Based Council in the White House...not some low level functionary in the bureaucracy.
