Mr. Dishnow, do you know what made the forefathers proud? Here are quotes from some of the founding fathers and the documents they wrote.
“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.” — Declaration of Independence
“If the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow ... These considerations should lead to an attentive solitude ... to be religiously careful in our choice of all public officers ... And judge of the tree by its fruits.” — Elias Boudinot
Taking Boudinot’s advice, let’s look at Mr. Obama’s fruits. He voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times while an Illinois senator. Is this giving the child the “unalienable righs ... [to] life”? When the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriages, Mr. Obama praised the decision even though the Bible clearly says that homosexuality is wrong.
Mr. Dishnow, before you vote for Barack Obama because you think it would make our forefathers proud, I suggest you find out what the forefathers really said.
