Obama and War: What Would Jesus Do?

John W. Whitehead August 5th, 2010

Barack Obama came into office proclaiming hope and change and a personal adherence to the teachings of Jesus Christ, who preached a message of peace, love and nonviolence.

Getting After the Devil: Obama and Civil Liberties

John W. Whitehead May 25th, 2010

Of all the tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. —C.S. Lewis

Obama and the Global Police: More Friendly Fascism?

John W. Whitehead January 14th, 2010

"The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse."– James Madison

Over the course of his first year in office, Barack Obama has shown himself to be a skillful and savvy politician, saying the things Americans want to hear while stealthily and inexorably moving forward the government's agenda of centralized power.
