Barack Obama bad for this country.

I have already accepted the fact that Barack Obama will win the election come November. That being said, I've had many things on my mind relating to the future of this country. I have heard many reasons people have for voting for Barack Obama including: Lower taxes for low-income families, affordable health-care, and a liberal perspective on moral issues. The number one thing that I have heard, however, is "change". I am not opposed to "change". I think "change" can be a valid reason to vote for someone. Just as many say, "If it's not broken, don't fix it", we need to take on an attitude of, "If it is broken, then fix it". The question is, how do we fix it?
The truth is, I'm not really sure. I think I'd sound ignorant if I made myself out to know the correct response to this question. One thing I do know is that I believe "The Constitution" and "The Declaration of Independence" were inspired by God and are essential to the foundation of this country. Without them, the USA as we know it, will collapse. "The Declaration of Independence" states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". Let us understand that these are not government given rights...but these rights are given to us by our Creator...God. We have the right to succeed, just as we have the right to fail.
I am reminded of a story I heard in my macroeconomics course at BYU-Idaho. My economics teacher hosted Soviet economists here in the United States several years ago. At one point, they were in a rural area heavily concentrated in farming. The Soviet asked something along the lines of ,"Who makes the farmers wake up to go to work?", to which my teacher had responded, "The farmers get up themselves". This surprised the Soviet economist. Apparently, the Soviet Union used watchmen that would wake up the farmers every morning to make them go out to work. These watchmen would then make sure that the farmers stayed working throughout the day. The idea that an American farmer would get up early and work by their own will baffled the Soviet economist. He was also baffled by the fact that we had a John Deere store where you could purchase your own parts for a tractor and fix the tractor yourself. This was not how the Soviet Union had dealt with things...The Soviet government would either fix the tractor themselves or just replace it all together. This is a terribly expensive and inefficient way of doing business. At the end of the day, the Soviet economist thought that everything he saw was staged by the U.S. government, in spite of the reassuarances by my teacher that it was not.
This experience demonstrates how a communist government operates. I don't mean to make any ludicrous statements, and I don't feel like I am when I say that with Barack Obama as president, we are entering a transitional phase into Communism called socialism. If you look up the definition of socialism in almost any dictionary it will generally contain the word Marxist, which is bad enough. It will also make the point that a socialist government collects wealth from everybody and distributes that wealth to the general public. This brings me to my next point.
One of the most disturbing things Barack Obama has said is, "When you spread wealth around, it's good for everybody". I am astonished at the unquestionable faith many have in this man. This is a very socialist idea, and I don't see how you can debate that. My fear isn't so much that people don't see this, as it is that people don't care. All of a sudden, Socialism has become very appealing to a lot of people. People think that it is a good thing to "spread the wealth around"! It is not a good thing. It is a bad thing! With Obama's plan, lower income citizens will have tax breaks, while the higher income citizens will be taxed more. Like it or not, when you tax the poor less and the rich more, jobs go out the window. Barack Obama can not wait to take it to the big man. There have already been thousands of layoffs, and unemployment is on the rise. Many may think, "Yeah, but since low-income people will have more money to spend, it'll create new jobs". This may seem to be the case at first. But it will catch up to us. If I had to guess, understanding I'm not an expert, I would say that initially, Obama's tax plan will seem good and dandy, but by Barack Obama's 2nd term (which I think will happen) we will start to see some real issues...worse than today. Again, that is just my guess.
Aside from this, there are a million other issues against Barack Obama that I have. I am a strong Pro-Life supporter, and I do not tolerate abortion unless given the rarest of occasions. I can not support same-sex marriages. Supposedly Obama also does not "support" a same-sex marriage, but he is accepting of them. I can not support them simply because it is not a marriage. Marriage is defined as between a man and a woman...simple as that. I do not hate homosexuals, I simply can not accept marriage for them because of the nature of marriage. Aside from that, God has instituted marriage for the purpose of creating families...between man and woman.
One last thing that Obama has gotten a big pass on are his former acquaintances. While not accusing him of treason himself, it is a strange thing to ignore his acquaintances. I think it is safe to say that Reverend Jeremiah Wright is a bad choice for an ecclesiastical leader. Obama seems to think so too, otherwise, he would still attend that church. Interesting to note that the denouncement of Reverend Wright came as soon as Obama was taking heat for his religious choice. After 20 years, Obama just up and left the church...20 years of anti-America indoctrination. Denounce indeed...whatever it takes to be president I guess. I also do not understand why Obama feels compelled to justify William Ayers' action. Just because it was 40 years ago does not make it ok. It is obvious that Ayers is not repentent. So why doesn't Obama condemn the things that Ayers has done and leave it at that. I would'nt be so offended by the relationship, if Obama simply said, "While this man is a bad man, I have interacted with him on a casual level, but I condemn his past and present ideology". That would be much better than, "Well...uh...he did it 40 years ago. I was only 7".
While John McCain was not my first choice for a GOP candidate, I do support him. I appreciate that he opposes same-sex marriage and abortion. As a POW in an unpopular war, John McCain has stuck by America's side. He could've easily blamed America for his sufferings, but he did not. He has served as a senator for 22 years in Arizona, so he knows what he's getting into. I have yet to hear any real controversy concerning those he associates with. I suppose that his association with Gordon Liddy is controversial. The difference is that 1) Gordon Liddy served time for what he did and 2) while Gordon Liddy is a bad person, he does not teach the same radical junk being taught by Obama's associates. In other words, I don't think that McCain's mind has been poisoned like Obama's.
So this is my stance on the election. I just feel like many have been spell-bound by Barack Obama. I understand that it's cool to vote Obama. But when I talk to a lot of people voting for Obama, I can not help but think of Che Guevara. I mean, you see Che's face on people's shirts, but few of them know who he is. I don't feel like many Obama supporters know who Obama is. But that's not the only thing they have in common. Che was a pretty hot Marxist himself.
