I fear racial vengeance. I don’t believe Barack Obama has sat at the feet of the hate-filled black racial bigot Jeremiah Wright without having sympathy for his poisonous diatribes. He may agree that white America deserves some sort of payback.

I fear an expansion of the graft and corruption that so represents Cook County and Chicago politics, his training ground. It drains resources, rewards scoundrels and brings destruction—both economic and personal—to all.

I fear economic collapse from a politically inexperienced orator who does not love the free market, but socialism, who seeks justice and “fairness” that, translated, means taking from some and giving it to those he perceives deserve it more. I am concerned that the poor will be poorer and that “equality” will mean all will be poorer—regardless of effort or merit.

I fear the loss of our national identity thru the flood of more illegal immigration already championed by Obama, draining resources and creating further burden on the educational and healthcare systems.

I fear the distortion of the true meaning of following Christ. I fear soaring rhetoric that elevates man and promises a “kingdom right here on earth,” and, rather than acknowledging our depravity, seeks to accommodate it.

What is it I am afraid of if Barack Obama becomes President of the United States? All of this and more. Maybe the chickens really will soon come home to roost. But when they do, we can’t say we haven’t invited a presidential fox into the henhouse.
