The Use of the "Faith Based Inititiative" by This White House

During the entire Bush administration critics accused him of using religion for political purposes. Many people were aghast that our President was a religious man.******- Obama chose the members of the advisory council precisely because they would fulfill his political goals. In this case, he wants to turn the American people against Israel and has the audacity of using a religious group to do so. Any Jewish person who has an atavistic fear of religion being used as a cudgel to hurt Jews should wonder why our President supports such a policy.

I believe it is abhorrent that Obama and his minions are using, under a religious guise, an office created to provide social services by using faith groups,  to promote an anti-Israel political objective: to further turn America against Israel. Obaa has already been criticized for turning many Americans against Israel-and this  was charged by a well-known and respected liberal.

It seems that for Obama every ally of America is expendable, and every government agency and office is a political tool to be manipulated to radicalize Americans.

However one might feel regarding the Israel-Palestinian conflict, we should all be concerned that Barack Obama sees every agency (whether the census board, the National Endowment of the Arts, the Federal Communications Commission, The Federal Election Commission)  as a tool to promote his radical agenda.  

We have not seen anything yet.

Is it so politically incorrect for a Baptist to observe that is difficult to feel aroused at the plight of Jews who have found themselves betrayed by Barak Obama and by the Zionists who fear that the issue of religion has been co-opted by him to set America's face against Israel?

The author of the piece refers to Jewish "atavistic" reaction religion being used as a cudgel to hurt Jews. Well the Jews of America have been barking up the wrong tree on this issue for generations and it is this atavistic reaction which has provided the money, the intellectual candlepower, the cultural milieu, and the votes in critical states, which perennially put secular democrats in office instead of Christian Republicans.

The Republic today is in peril and now is clearly not the time to even scores or to form a circular firing squad. It's time for Jews and Christians to come together and defeat a mortal threat to both Israel and to the American Republic.

“Many were agast that Bush was a Christian.” Not such a problem with Obama, who has yet to chose a church in Washington (nine months in) and who sat and listened to hate speech for twenty years from a racist pastor.

I quite agree.

Obama is a narcissist, that means he is a God player to whom the first and second Commandments are an abomination (pun intended).

As a narcissist he must play God, but as a narcissist is also clever enough to exploit the trappings of religiosity from time to time.
