“From Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope:" "I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex - nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount."” PeopleBookMatterStatesReadingSexLinesAcceptingChristianityRightsWillingCitizensUnionsIslamDenyHospitalsObscureSermonsHusseinDefiningCoverageAmerican CitizensMind BlowingAudacityChristianity And IslamVisitationSermon On The MountChristian HopeAudacity Of HopeHealth Insurance Coverage Author:Barack Obama
“At first it was the incomes of corporations, then of rich citizens, then of well-provided widows and opulent workers, and finally the wealth of housemaids and the tips of waitresses.

“This is the deadening consensus that crosses party lines, that dominates our major media, and that is strangling the liberty and prosperity that were once the birthright of Americans. Dissenters who tell their fellow citizens what is really going on are subject to smear campaigns that, like clockwork, are aimed at the political heretic.
