Now, I like this guy called Steve Strang. Personally, I find him to be pretty good company. Of course there’s plenty that we would disagree on, but I get the feeling that had he been born in Mumbai and found his faith, Steve would have ended up being one of those remarkable influential nobodies that are quietly changing their world.
Oh, he published a book I wrote too, so that makes him a pretty rare man.
But Steve wasn’t born in Mumbai, and he’s become – for what it’s worth – the kind of guy that features in Time magazine’s list of the Most Influential Evangelicals in America.
And this is his latest blog posting:

Life As We Know It Will End If Obama Is Elected
I was amazed that during the presidential debate this week Sen. John McCain didn’t make the point that if Sen. Barack Obama is elected, life as we know it in many ways will end. America will be more socialized and have less free enterprise and freedom.It seems that due to the current economic crisis, a percentage of Americans are clamoring for change in the White House. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to realize that change will mean gay rights will be encoded into law and abortion rights laws will be strengthened. The result will be an alteration in our entire social structure and the likelihood that Roe v. Wade—the case that led to the legalization of abortion–will never be overturned. Recently someone sent me a video put out by Roman Catholics on the sanctity of life. Take time to watch it at www.catholicvote.com. It makes the point that protecting human life from conception to natural death is one of the most important responsibilities we have as Christians.
I believe if Obama is elected, the government will tax, tax, tax the citizens who are most productive. Yet it’s been proven that tax increases lead to economic downturn, while tax cuts lead to economic growth (which we desperately need). There will also be a “take from the rich, give to the poor” type of socialistic mind-set throughout the nation. And I believe our country will be weaker militarily around the world.
In addition, people who hate Christianity will be emboldened to attack our freedoms. Christianity is already persona non grata in academia and in the liberal media. People such as Bill Maher and Michael Moore, who hate God and God’s people, will think the election verifies that the nation as a whole believes as they do and will jump for glee. Meanwhile, Christians seem almost asleep. There is no outcry! And there is a group of Bible-believing Christians who appear to have decided to overlook how dangerous Obama will be and plan to vote for him anyway.
A few weeks ago McCain and Obama were even in the polls. However, the economic crisis seems to have pushed some Americans toward Obama. So in the 25 days to the election we must pray as never before. And we must work to wake up Christians. That is what happened late in the 2004 election—Christian leaders rallied believers, and as a result, George W. Bush was re-elected president.
Even though polls are often right, there are exceptions, and we must pray and work–before it’s too late–to see that Obama is not elected. I receive lots of interesting e-mails having to do with the election and the issues surrounding current culture wars. Below is some of what someone sent me and urged me to pass on. There are links to several interesting videos that you should take the time to watch. Much of what you will see is disturbing. I urge you to forward the information below to your friends.
The only reason Obama is competitive is because people do not really know who and what he stands for.
Barack Obama’s Views:
Endorsed by:
- ACLU
- AFL-CIO
- National Trial Lawyers Groups
- NARAL
- Planned Parenthood
- Homosexual and atheist advocacy groups
- Moveon.org
- Radical leftist national groupsThese groups have provided the largest support for his campaign, along with the Saudis. And every one of them hates serious Christians and Zionist Jews. How can a Christian or a Jew vote with them? He promised the trial lawyers that he will fight against Tort Reform.
He promised the unions to vote for the Union Intimidation Act (aka Employee Free Choice Act)–a laughable name for legislation that will devastate American jobs. He promised the abortionists to vote for the Abortion Anytime Act (aka the Freedom of Choice Act).
He promised the homosexuals that he will support the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, and he is already fighting the California Marriage Amendment. And he has no experience! Hello?

I know many of you are as disturbed as I am. I think this information on Obama speaks for itself. Let’s pray for a shift in our country. And let’s get this information into the hands of as many people as possible. If you missed my endorsement of John McCain, click here.And be sure to add your thoughts to the blog.
Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that his tone and pitch have revved up just like McCain’s, but I have to confess that I was a little taken aback by this. But what made me smile were the comments that followed. Read them for yourself here.
What I want to know is are these the final kicks and snarls of a fatally wounded beast – is this the beginning of the end of the religious right? Or is this the first signs of a drastic counter attack that will lead us into the kind of future that Atwood glimpsed in The Handmaid’s Tale?
