Racism has raised its ugly head in the presidential campaign. More exactly, talk about racism has raised its ugly head. Given that it's a Democratic year -- or, at least, should be a Democratic year -- the difficult question has presented itself: Why isn't Sen. Barack Obama way ahead of Sen. John McCain in the polls? Why are they virtually tied? And some Democrats (for instance, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas) have begun answering that question by asking, "Have you noticed that Barack Obama is African American?" In other words: Have you noticed that some white voters, who would vote for Obama if he too were white, are not voting for him because of their vicious racial prejudices?
If Obama loses in this should-be Democratic year, it will in large measure be the result of the fact that the national Democratic Party has allied itself with secularists -- that is, with atheists and anti-Christians who want to drive Christianity out of the public square. These Obama supporters want to replace the traditional American moral code -- which, until recently, had always been a predominantly Christian code (more specifically, a predominantly Protestant code) -- with a highly permissive moral code that endorses sexual freedom, abortion, and homosexuality, including (of course) same-sex marriage. Somewhere down the road they'd like to add to this list euthanasia and God knows what further forms of sexual liberation.
