One of the ways that Barack Obama sold himself during his campaign for president was as a unifier of a divided nation. Together with his mantra of “change,” this sounded quite hopeful and pleasing to a populace unsettled by times of increasing national hardship.

Of course, no one knew what it was that he meant by “change,” and much has been made of this fact by astute analysts. But what has not been much commented on is what Obama could possibly have meant by speaking of himself as a unifier.

Well, Richard Neuhaus, in his most recent post at the First Things blog, has brought out precisely what Obama meant by speaking of himself in such terms, particularly on the issue of abortion:

The truly ominous possibility, indeed likelihood, is that Obama does not see his extreme positions on abortion as being extreme at all. They are the entrenched orthodoxies of the parties that got him to where he is. Those in opposition are viewed as a recalcitrant minority guilty of perpetuating divisiveness, and the time has come to break their back once and for all. I hope I am wrong, but this strikes me as the more plausible understanding of the Freedom of Choice Act and other measures aimed at “bringing us together again.”

In other words, when it comes to abortion, the way that Obama proposes to end divisiveness in our land is by destorying the political and religious freedom of those who oppose him.

Of course, it is not only on the issue of abortion that our new “healer”/president promises to end divisiveness in our land. It is on the whole range of issues that pertain to the family and the Church, inasmuch as these stand in the way of hegemonic authority of the State over the individual.

Obama, the Great Unifier, has made known recently on his website his plans for advancing the “gay agenda.” Catholic News Agency reports that his website is reporting that he will, as has been predicted here on our blog, expand hate speech legislation. Furthermore,  he will force increasing “anti-discrimination” laws upon employers. He will fully oppose all marriage amendment legislation that proposes to define marriage in the traditional, human, and essential meaning of the term.

All of these actions that he is proposing are opposed to religious and political freedom. They apply to Catholic institutions: priests, when the Great Unifier gets his way, will be found culpable of “hate speech” for preaching the Gospel, and Catholic institutions will be forced to employ open homosexuals.

This is the agenda of the One: whose goal is to establish peace and unity on earth by destroying his political and religious opponents.
