The basis of religion is faith. Faith is belief in the existence of something that can't be seen, touched, heard, or felt.
I recently watched a video of children being propagandized by a group of Obama supporters. They sang about Obama leading the way to a better America and world. The lyrics were eerily similar to religious hymns, filled with messages of believing, acceptance, love, and faith.
We the People endured over a year of political campaigning, ads and rhetoric. Billions of words were written about the candidates, their accomplishments, the company they kept, and the periphery surrounding it all. Some was accurate, some was speculative, some taken out of context, and some was flat out BS.
When the smoke cleared after the general election, Obama won.
Pretty typical process during an election in this country. Right?
What isn't typical is the faith demonstrated by a majority of We the People in voting for Barack Hussein Obama to lead our country and essentially, the free world.
Prior to his election, he worked in Chicago as a community organizer. Eventually he got into politics, and served less than one term as the junior senator from Illinois. While serving in this capacity, he voted "present" 130 times. Many of these "present" votes were on significant issues such as abortion, protection of rape victims, and juvenile offenders in Illinois.
He was relatively passive and ineffective during his short career in the senate, authoring only 152 bills with only 16 passed into law. While the significance of these bills is debatable, the fact that he was a sponsor or co-sponsor of 427 puts it into perspective. That's him saying "yeah, that sounds good, I'll put my name on that" 427 times, rather than taking a leadership role in crafting legislation himself.
The bottom line is that one can visit some of the most rabid Obama supporters and ask, "What did Obama accomplish prior to his presidency?" and get nothing but blank stares.
And leading up to the election, we hear that Obama faithfully attended the same church for 20 years where the pastor Rev. Wright loudly "God damn"ed the country that Obama aspired to lead. Then, Obama wants us to believe he wasn't aware of his pastor's sentiments.
We learned that other associates of Obama's during his career as an organizer and politician include Bill Ayers, a member of the Weather Underground, who bombed a federal building and is unrepentant to this day. Then there is the convicted felon Tony Rezko, a shady real estate mogul who "helped" Obama buy a house.
These aren't mere acquaintances or benign associations. Rev Wright married the Obamas. The political career of Obama was launched in Ayers' living room during a fundraiser Ayers organized for him.
Yet despite all of this, a good portion of We the People have faith that Obama is America's savior.
We can see, hear, touch, or feel absolutely no evidence of his ability to save anything, but We the People have faith, baby.
Welcome to the Obama religion. Tithe up, bitches!
Good one, honey! The proof is in the pudding. I believe faith is imporant when it comes to your spiritual beliefs. But when it comes to politics and the foundation of our country, we need to stick to the facts.
ReplyDeleteWell here is where I differ. Faith is what the Republican party consistently pride themselves on...specifically Christianity. That is why so many hypocrites who claimed to be Christians were upset when lies about Obama being a Muslim circulated. The thing is, you can't have yer cake and eat it too. So, there are two things that differ between the Reps and Dems.. poor vs rich, liberal vs conservative (or as some may say religious right vs religious left). My morals may not be the same as Sally the soccer mom with 5 kids however it does not make them any less valid. Same thing with the abortion issue, homosexuality, legalized marijuana use, divorce and religious tolerance/intolerance... these are more things that divide dems and reps.. The one thing they all have in common rep and dem is that they are in it for the politics and power and I don' care what side of the bridge they are looking over there is a great chance that they are crooks. However they know the best way to deflect blame is to have the simple minded American people to fight with each other instead of demanding justice and fairness of their leaders. Because if Ann Coulters and Rush Limbaughs of the world can keep the stink up, more zombies will just continue to follow them not based on fact, however based on selfishness, greed, hypocrisy and yes hate. Ann believes that single mothers are irresponsible and selfish and that children should not be born to single mothers...SHe is a Republican.. therefore she obviously does not believe in abortion... so logically her solution is for women who are not married not to have sex. Hate to say it however that is very realistic, now is it? As for Obama and his so called lack of experience. Harvard professor, Senator and yes community organizer, can you please tell me all of the wonderful experiences George Bush had? He was the governor of Texas...ok and oh yeah a business owner....where he droves many businesses into the ground and he hobnobbed with the Bin Ladens...I could not make this up if I tried! So if you are gonna pounce on Obama, you may need to take a good look at the previous administration as well. As you can see, my comments are not insulting or opinionated. You can verify everything I said with minimal research.
ReplyDeleteGood comments, Scoob. The point is that faith is required to believe in Obama's ability to carry out his promises. He has no track record that serves as evidential foundation for a belief in his abilities to accomplish anything. In short, he has no experience, but people have faith he will change America and the world for the better? Seems awfully naive to me.
ReplyDeleteWell in that case Slackersaurus Rex, George W did not have the qualifications either, right? He was the Gov of Texas and.....what else? He made alot of promises too.. and ticked off a lot of people around the globe as well...so lets just think about it. Many people who I have heard have said they are tired of lifetime politicians, yet when one gets in the WH, they criticize for lack of experience,,,odd, no one said that about Palin and not to be mean... she made herself look horrible and she can't blame that on McCain or his camp..
