In 2008 I published a site entitled Dangerous Obama (www.dangerousobama.blogspot.com).
In it I made predictions (really "observations") about Barack Obama, intended to show people what he was really about, because I could see the Hope-and-Change glaze over the eyes of people who should have known better.
In some ways it was one of the most brilliant campaigns ever run by a modern politician, because Obama tapped into two things that are evergreen in the human heart: HOPE (hope for WHAT hardly matters, too often), and CHANGE (after all, is everything perfect? Of course not, so we need "change").
That tapping-into of the human heart for Hope and Change touched everything from the highest spiritual levels of the soul, to the most "lizard-brain" aspects of the physical chemical processes in the gray matter of the brain.
Brilliant!
But tragic.
Those dangers I envisioned from Obama have come to pass. And we can only speculate what a second term, with no political restraints, might hold.
Unfortunately, several of the original links on the Dangerous Obama site are now dead. But an open-minded study of each of the areas of danger will show that these dangers are more real even than in 2008.
In this new blog, I hope to delve into some specifics of policy, philosophy, economics, and Christian theology as they relate to this 2012 election.
I won't claim, as the old cliche says, "This is the most important election in our lifetime!" Only God knows.
But I do believe it is important.
Nevertheless, to paraphrase R.C. Sproul in his recent Tweet re 9/11, "God was in the precise place on [election night] that He was on the day before and the day after. He was on His throne..."
