God help this country...

You know, they say you can judge a person (and a nation) by how they treat the helpless and those unable to defend themselves.

This poster doesn't even need any words. It speaks for itself.

(and oh, yeah, to any potential trolls -- don't even think about starting a flame war in the comments. I'm not in the mood for it!)

ETA: I always find it interesting how I get unfriended by people whenever I post something even remotely political. ;-P

I'm not American (I'm british. Quite the Opposite) and to be honest I'm quite sick about hearing your elections all the time. Our media is obessed with you and its really quite daunting. There are constant adverts about the power of America and Documentaries all over the place. And I find it all rather quite extreme.
At the end of the day we're all human, right? And children of god, as you point out here (I'm not exactly religious but ive been brought up by the church of england, so I know my stuff) so really Obama is a child of god too and you should have as much respect for him as anybody else? Did Jesus put up posters around Jerusalem against Herod and Pilate? He never spoke a bad word about them. He loved them all even though they were 'bad' or however you'd like to describe roman lifestyles.
I'm not voting for anyone. I couldn't care less about Obama or that other guy or any of this..
I'm just saying.. hate propaganda isn't exactly the best way to help society.

I'm right there with you in being sick to death of our elections.

Yes, Obama is a child of God, as is everyone else on this planet. But unfortunately the vast majority of his views are not at all Biblical, in fact, quite the opposite. And while Jesus never put up political signs, he certainly did speak up when someone was doing something wrong. Jesus' anger in the temple, anyone? He never spoke a bad word about anyone personally, but he did "call a spade a spade" and urged people to turn from their sin. He didn't tell the adulteress "You're a child of God so I can't say anything bad about you or your deeds," but rather He urged her to turn from her sins, and to "go and sin no more." As Christians we are called to love the sinner, but hate the sin. I don't believe an anti-abortion poster qualifies as "hate propaganda."

Thanks for stopping by, and I always find it interesting to see what those across the world think about us here in America. ;-)
