Obama to Black Pastors: Choose You This Day Whom ye will Serve

After making his historic remarks on same-sex unions last week, President Barack Obama led a conference call with black church pastors to explain his support for gay marriage, the New York Times reported that the call was held with "eight or so African-American ministers.

"They were wrestling with their ability to get over his theological position," the Rev. Delman Coates, a Maryland pastor who was on the call, told the Times.

The title of the article was "Obama calls pastors to explain gay marriage support; black churches ‘conflicted’

"Conflicted"?  There really is no reason to be conflicted.  They either believe the Bible and the tenets of the faith to which they claim - or they don't.  It is decision time -  God or mammon.  They may not vote Republican but Barack Obama and the entire Democrat party unequivocally represent the WORSE of all evils and cannot be a justifiable choice for -anyone- who purports to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

The ramifications of what we are seeing are staggering as not only are homosexuals winning state by state the "right" to pervert the God ordained institution of marriage, through the legalized ADOPTION of children, they are increasingly violating the morals of innocent children by indoctrinating them into the destructive and deadly lifestyle of Homosexuality. 

This I pose to these African American pastors around the country who are charged with extra responsibility by virtue of their priesthood. 

Jesus specifically stated in Matthew 18:6 "but if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

I have no doubt that this pearl of truth will fall upon deaf ears when it is cast before self aggrandizing charlatans like Al Sharpton.  This is for the serious pastors who may have been exploited but do not regard their station in the body of Christ as a vehicle of extortion or political stepping stone.  The choice is the stepping stone and the millstone or obedience to God.

It has already required a blind eye to 50 million brutally murdered babies.  The compromise of baby's blood for affirmative action is as bad as it gets.  We just have to hope that perhaps this most glaring new addition to the (D) stable of abominations before God may serve as a wake-up call.

It just doesn't cut it to contend that "(R) is worse then (D)" simply because conservatives believe it is the responsibility of individuals and the Church, not the coercion of centralized government to help the poor. 

Tell God that it is justified supporting the party whose PRIMARY agenda is the killing 50 million + babies, removing God from every public discourse, abrogating our freedom of worship and desecrating the God ordained institution of marriage for 30 pieces of silver. 

Woe betide those who rub this in the face of the God to Whom they purport to follow while giving approbation to such abominations as embodied by this emissary of Satan himself in the United States.  Last week I expounded upon this situation in more depth in the following video commentary:

The "Great Emancipator" of Sodom

According to an article I read at Yahoo News, Fox anchor Shepard Smith has warned the GOP not to be “on the wrong side of history”. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/obama-supports-gay-marriage-shep-smith-warns-gop-203159510.html

Many have long suspected that Shepard Smith is flaming gay; so this contention is hardly an objective opinion. America is committing suicide and the Saboteur @ 1600 supports ANYTHING and everything that assures our destruction...

This is all part of his plan from the very beginning - to foment secession. As from day one of his first political campaign, he has outrageously tried to purport himself as the second Lincoln by constantly quoting Lincoln by applying his words in ways that are outrageous, campaigning before banners bearing Lincoln's image in front of the Illinois State House, being sworn in on Lincoln's Bible, having the same menu served in his inauguration dinner as Lincoln had served.

This is not by coincidence.  He has worked hard to give his useful idiots in the media, plenty of material with which to draw their ridiculous comparisons - once he succeeds in his ultimate goal of tearing this nation apart.

I guess the abomination of it will be the comparison of the egregious institution of slavery and all the evils concurrent with slavery - comparing it to the "plight" of the homosexual, who subsequently has more wealth than the average American and exceeds the median income.

The question is HOW the African American can allow themselves to be exploited in this manner by allowing this audacious man to imply that having a penchant for the act of sodomy is akin to being born from African ancestry. I elaborated more upon this important topic today in the following video commentary:
 
Barack Obama has seized upon yet another opportunity to divide and further attack the family unit and promote the destruction of our foundation in his endorsement of homosexual “marriage” today.

This move reminds me of my prediction in my November 17, 2008 column: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2229680/posts 

“We knew Abraham Lincoln; Abe Lincoln was the father of our Party; President Elect Obama, you're no Abraham Lincoln.”
“…What I expect to see over the next 4-8 years: As usually happens with centralized government, I expect agencies given far reaching powers for reasons that were compelling when initially established – to be used for purposes other than those for which they were intended.

Specifically, I expect that under Obama, Pelosi and Reed, it is only a matter of time before the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY is used to fight the newly defined “terrorism”. The new terrorism will not be of the Islamic variety but rather Judeo-Christian “hate speech” about something called “sin” and the audacious notion of there being only “one way to God”.

You are seeing portents of things to come as in the case of those homosexual activists in California attacking an elderly lady, throwing her cross on the ground and stepping on it. You may see that as a radical prediction but I assure you that although the Democrat representatives and the activist judges with whom they will stack the deck are more clandestine in their attacks but every bit as hostile. Their coming legislation, executive orders and verdicts will be far more dangerous than a militant protestor holding a sign in the streets of San Francisco."

Mark Zuckerberg: The Next Steve Jobs or the Next Steve Case?

Remember before the meltdown of 2007, the private equity bubble was in full-force. Right at pinnacle, just after the eagerly awaited and hyped Blackstone Group IPO came out and enriched those chop shop execs, then to call what followed a "POP" would be an understatement. We could see that here with Facebook. I certainly wouldn't buy until a while after the IPO and would even buy some Puts on it.

When this many people are talking about the IPO, I would not be long IN THE SECONDARY MARKET. If you can get some in the Primary and are not restricted from selling, you will make some money off of the frenzy of course. That's what this road show is all about. The fact they are doing this roadshow demonstrates they really want to hype the stock.

Enough people KNOW about it and have long known about the IPO to SUPPORT the deal. THIS show is to HYPE the deal beyond what is necessary; so unless this company performs some miracles, there are going to be some pissed off dupes and law suits to boot.

I'm not convinced that 500 million+ subscribers translates into the earnings and growth necessitated by this market cap. The old phone book had virtually everybody signed up too but that didn't mean they were making aggressive profits by virtue of that fact. They make their money by advertising and that just further dilutes the pie shared with Google and many others. I don't see them growing that pie by much.

Given Zuckerberg's history and law-suits settled for essentially "stealing" the model from some fellow college students, I don't know that we are dealing with the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. I say that Zuckerberg has a much better shot at being the next Steve Case than the next Steve Jobs. But even AOL always had paying subscribers from the beginning.

The best thing Facebook could do is to use that stock as a currency and buy as many companies with patents, subscribers, content and cash-flow while they can. The strategy didn't work so well for AOL as most of those acquired companies have long since been spun off. But it has worked for Google so far. It's all about synergies and whether your leader has the competency to execute the integration.
