Barack Obama OWNS the Authentic Political Moral High Ground

Morality and moral character are involved in what our elected leaders
think, their philosophy and what they communicate and their moral stand
regarding policy-making.
Authentic morality goes to the overview reality of their pro-life and
right to life stands, which also means standing for the right of equity
of economic opportunity and national health insurance providing the
security toward a decent standard of living with which to enable
procreation.

You cannot be for the deregulation of our economic policies and our
finance, our mortgage lending sectors, and continue to claim the moral
high ground. Barack Obama and Democrats are for wise regulatory policies
that provide equity of economic opportunity toward economic security. Do
you yet want to vote for Republicans that spoke out for & stood up for
those deregulation policies?

The rhetoric and the policies of the Republicans, including John McCain
and Sarah Palin, are antithetical to moral character and policy-making
morality. They cannot be against equity of economic opportunity for
working people, both men and women, and also be against national health
insurance for everyone, and then try to claim the moral high ground.

Regarding foreign policy and military actions, how can you say that the
George Bush and John McCain have been on the side of pro-life and right
to life for every human being that suffered such egregious loss?

Not only has there been a needless devastation of our American troops
but also horrendous devastation of the millions of innocent Iraqi men,
women, and children that have been killed or seriously wounded, with
their futures destroyed. Do you still want to vote for our Mideast
Islamic war-hawks?

Trillions of our tax dollars down a self-defeating Iraq war foreign
policy rat-hole while our homeland economy goes down the drain!
Do you still want to vote for our Mideast Islamic war-hawks?

Additionally, depleted uranium has a half-life of 4½ billion years; it
causes horrendous genetic birth defects and destroys the right to life
of the living, and all those that were yet to be born.

Modern warfare is terror at its zenith, it fails the Justice and
righteous tests and spawns hatred and retaliation in the form of
terrorist attacks, therefore its use must be restricted to very few
pinpoint targets.

Here again, the just, righteous and moral approach to economic and
political differences could have been the resource that might very well
have saved trillions and trillions of dollars and countless human lives.

It is not how much you know, it is how you use and apply the knowledge
and the resources available with which to resolve differences and create
and develop cooperative relationships with all countries and political
regimes.

Guardian Angels Are Here, Say Most Americans

By David Van Biema

More than half of all Americans believe they have been helped by a
guardian angel in the course of their lives, according to a new poll
by the Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion. In a poll
of 1700 respondents, 55%% answered affirmatively to the statement, "I
was protected from harm by a guardian angel." The responses defied
standard class and denominational assumptions about religious belief;
the majority held up regardless of denomination, region or education
- though the figure was a little lower (37%%) among respondents
earning more than $150,000 a year.
The guardian angel encounter figures were "the big shocker" in the
report, says Christopher Bader, director of the Baylor survey that
covered a range of religious issues, parts of which are being
released Thursday in a book titled What Americans Really Believe. In
the case of angels, however, the question is a little stronger than
just belief. Says Bader, "If you ask whether people believe in
guardian angels, a lot of people will say, 'sure.' But this is
different. It's experiential. It means that lots of Americans are
having these lived supernatural experiences."
Sociologists may need further research to determine how broadly the
data should be interpreted. The Baylor study tested other statements
that might indicate a similar belief in the supernatural intruding
into everyday personal experience - "I heard the voice of God
speaking to me"; and "I received a miraculous physical healing." But
far fewer people claimed to have had those experiences. This raises
the possibility that guardian angels, which famously support an
industry of sentimental accessories, are just so darned attractive
that they exist in a charmed belief niche of their own.
But other factors may be in play. On one end of the spectrum of
American religion are the analytical churches, on both the right and
the left theologically and politically, which are primarily concerned
with establishing Biblical principles to live by - and are suspicious
of any modern-day irruption of the supernatural into religious life.
Their miracles all took place in the Bible. At the opposite end of
the spectrum are the more experiential churches, like many
African-American denominations and those in the Pentecostal movement,
that lay heavy emphasis on the workings of the Holy Spirit, where the
supernatural, through gifts like healing, prophesying and speaking in
tongues, makes regular visits in the pews. In the middle are
sacramental faiths like Roman Catholicism, where the supernatural has
a regular place on the altar (after all, the Eucharist is said to be
the literal body and blood of Christ) but one that occurs only within
the restrictions of very specific ritual.
What's interesting about the Baylor findings on guardian angel
experiences is that they cross all boundaries. They have scriptural
writ (in Psalm 91 and elsewhere). They are clearly experiential. And
guardian angels are a prominent part of Catholic belief that happens
to float freely outside of a sacrament. The cross-spectrum legitimacy
of the notion of angelic interventions may free Americans to engage
in the kind of folk faith that is part of almost any religious system
but is not always officially acknowledged.
Randall Balmer, chairman of the religion department at New York's
Barnard College, says that the Baylor angel figures are one in a
periodic series of indications that "Americans live in an enchanted
world," and engage in a kind of casual mysticism independent of
established religious ritual, doctrine or theology. "There is," he
says, a "much broader uncharted range of religious experience among
the populace than we expect." Just possibly, Baylor has begun to
chart it.
