I just came back from seeing Dinesh D'Souza's "Obama's America 2016".
Wow.
I really cannot recommend it enough. It is a thoughtful investigation on who Obama is ideologically, and seeks to uncover what he believes, and why he believes it.
No ad hominems, no hysteria, but a thorough look at his formative years, his parentage and family influences, and his political and theological mentors.
Man... whether you are for or against him you ought to see this film for the simple reason that- as the subtitle suggests- you really DON'T know him. (Because quite honestly, we were never allowed to know him.)
An amazingly important film.

He's got a problem with having a modern view on a biblical story as opposed seeing the story in it's original context. Taxes of the day had nothing to do with goods and services. Jerusalem was under an occupation. Caesar wasn't providing services to the people, you paid Caesar his tax because he was a god and you owed him being under his rule. To skew it the way he's doing it, is wrong.
Christian's should pay taxes because it's what authority has made into law. Not because of the volunteer military's duty or the public servant policemen, firemen, etc.. He is right we should be representatives of Christ and vote how the Holy Spirit leads, but remember our popular vote does not elect the President the Electoral College's Elector's do.

This is an absolutely AWESOME message on what Christians should consider when voting. Just wanted to share it here, as I believe it could be of help to our discussion and at the very least it's a sermon with some good WORD. God bless everyone as we prepare to vote in this election.

2016: Obama's America
The problem with 2016: Obama's America, is that it takes President Obama's Dreams of my Father memoir as non fiction when it's already been proven and admitted to be the complete opposite and filled w/ falsehoods. And on top of that the people Dinesh interviews are some seedy people and who's to say they aren't lying. So take it for what it is
