Obama will bring disunity

While I appreciate the sentiment of the editorial staff in “The torch has been passed, The national voice has spoken, the message now is unity” editorial in the Nov. 5 edition, it is not those who oppose Obama who disrupt “unity”.

How can Christians unite with an administration who has promised unlimited, government-financed abortions; and promises to classify sermons that denounce “alternative lifestyles” as punishable “hate-speech”?

How can business unite with an administration who promises unbearable regulation and taxes?

How can parents unite with an administration who promises to teach their 5-year old children “sexual education” with special emphasis on “acceptance of alternative lifestyles"?

How can gun-owners unite with an administration that will either take their weapons, or classify them as criminals?

How can employees unite with the upcoming administration, knowing that they could be forcibly unionized because of the promised “card-check” laws. But now that I think of it, “workers unite” was a slogan of the communist party, but I digress.

I could easily go on giving examples of additional disunity that will exist simply because Barack Obama was elected as president.

Unity is a nice sentiment, but I’m afraid that it will be quite impossible (politically) in the foreseeable future, and Obama is the main reason.

There is only one way of having “true” unity, and that is through our Lord Jesus Christ. People who look for unity through Obama’s government are in for a huge disappointment!
