OBAMA: LUCIFER IS MY HOMEBOY
September 17, 2008
It's another election season, so that means it's time for Democrats to start uttering wild malapropisms about the Bible to pretend they believe in God!
In 2000, we had Al Gore inverting a Christian parable into something nearly satanic. Defending his nutty ideas about the Earth during one of the debates, Gore said: "In my faith tradition, it's written in the book of Matthew, where your heart is, there is your treasure also." And that, he said, is why we should treasure the environment.
First of all, people who say "faith tradition" instead of "religion" are always phony-baloney, "Christmas and Easter"-type believers.
Second, Jesus was making almost the exact opposite point, saying: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth," where there are moths, rust and thieves, but in heaven, because, Jesus said, "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
I guess that's the kind of mix-up that can happen when your theological adviser is Naomi Wolf.
Then in 2004, Democratic presidential candidate and future Trivial Pursuit answer Howard Dean told an interviewer that his favorite part of the New Testament was the Book of Job. The reporter should have asked him if that was his favorite book in all three testaments.
And now in 2008, we have Democrats attacking Sarah Palin for being a Christian, while comparing Obama to Jesus Christ. (And not in the sarcastic way the rest of us do.)
Liberals have indignantly claimed that Palin thinks the founding fathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance, which is Olbmermannic in the sense that (a) if it were true, it's trivial, and (b) it's not true.
Their claim is based on a questionnaire Palin filled out when she was running for governor of Alaska in 2006, which asked the candidates if they were "offended by the phrase 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance." Palin answered: "Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me, and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."
As anyone can see, Palin was not suggesting that the founding fathers "wrote" the Pledge of Allegiance: She said the founding fathers believed this was a country "under God." Which, um, it is.
For the benefit of MSNBC viewers who aren't watching it as a joke, the whole point of the Declaration of Independence was to lay out the founders' breathtaking new argument that rights came not from the king, but from God or, as the Declaration said, "Nature's God," the "Creator."
That summer, in 1776, Gen. George Washington -- a charter member of the founding fathers -- rallied his troops, saying: "The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves. ... The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of the army."
So Washington not only used the phrase "under God," but gave us one of the earliest known references to the rights of the "unborn." That's right! George Washington was a "pro-life extremist," just like Sarah Palin.
There is no disputing that a nation "under God" was "good enough" for the founding fathers, exactly as Palin said.
Meanwhile, on the House floor last week, Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee compared Palin to Pontius Pilate -- and Obama to Jesus. Cohen said: "Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor." Yes, who can forget the Biblical account of how Jesus got the homeless Samaritan to register as a Democrat in exchange for a carton of smokes!
Rep. Cohen would be well-advised to stay away from New Testament references.

Alinsky wrote:
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: From all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer."
That's the first half of "Devis and Dutthead"...
[As anyone can see, Palin was not suggesting that the founding fathers “wrote” the Pledge of Allegiance...]
Though maybe she should be given a break on this one, it is clear (to me, at least) that she did think the Founding Fathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance.
Ewww, that one creeped me out.

From the Boston Globe, August 31, 2008:
[Saul Alinsky's] Son sees father's handiwork in [2008 democrat] convention
ALL THE elements were present: the individual stories told by real people of their situations and hardships, the packed-to-the rafters crowd, the crowd's chanting of key phrases and names, the action on the spot of texting and phoning to show instant support and commitment to jump into the political battle, the rallying selections of music, the setting of the agenda by the power people.
The Democratic National Convention had all the elements of the perfectly organized event, Saul Alinsky style. Barack Obama's training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness.
It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lesson well.
I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.

From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:
"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

love her sense of humor!! She makes great points too as I laugh.

Not true, and quite absurd.
Ya gotta admit - Cohen’s “do” is extraordinary.
You are one serious researcher.
I'd stay away from that, Ann. Too close to the sort of thing that's gotten you in trouble:
The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that's the Biblical view. Source
That is also the opposite of "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth," Ann.
Did you read the entire article? It’s clear she was speaking of the term “Under God”, not the pledge itself.
Oh, I know Ann Coulter knows they didn’t write it. I was referring to Gov. Palin. Thanks.
The left has some serious cognitive dissonance about Christianity and Obama. I’ve seen many YouTube posts (re: Palin) that all Christians, followers of Jesus, should be killed. Yet, they claim their man, Obama, is like Jesus. And Obama himself claims he is a Christan.
By that circular logic the lefties should be killing themselves.
See if you can get her to read Investor's Business Daily's excellent series-- they picked up the flag on business-oriented commentary after the Wall Street Journal largely dropped it.
I recommend reading all of this:
Here’s the whole series:
Thanks, but some of the stuff I have I get here from other FReepers. In this case, the article on Alinsky's son and that weird book excerpt regarding 'Lucifer'. The other excerpt on 'change' and 'revolution' I found on my own.
That's the first half of "Devis and Dutthead"...
LOL! You're a quick wit.
I adore Ann. This once I must tweak her work; Jesus was a teacher, Pilate was a governor, SATAN was and is a community organizer.
Taking Coulter out of context to show what a hypocrite she is.
She didn't get in trouble over your quote, she showed the absurdity of the pseudo-greens with her great wit.
It's almost an art to “get” Coulter, you're not alone.
Clear as mud to everyone else, bumper, because it's incorrect, not true, inaccurate, wrong. Are you wearing glasses with 0bama l0g0s on the lenses or something?
bumperpool seems to be another one of those sleeper trolls that every couple of years surfaces to make 3 or 4 anti Republican posts, and then lays low.

Advice: Dump her.
- Single and mid-thirties, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
What’s a Devis?Ha, that's the first thing I thought when I saw my thypo.That's the first half of "Devis and Dutthead"...
LOL! You're a quick wit.
Good call.
I think you could create two reference pages that would be iron-clad sourced, if you have the time:
Obama, ACRON, and Voter Fraud
Obama and AYERS
Perhaps if you gather it together, someone could make a web page. I could for that matter, but there are others who are much better at it than myself.
— Sourcing is the key [and focus for each page]
— FRegards ....
And yes, I know you meant Governor Palin. That’s what makes your observation and subsequent illogical conclusion an ignorant one.
I have a bizarre question.....
Have Ann and Sarah even been photographed together?????
Seriously, It make me wonder...
Palin was referring to the founding fathers seeing our country as being “Under God”, not as writing the Pledge.
I'm sure she has and will make some gaffs, but none so ridiculous as that.
The Liberal left needs to stop talking about the Bible and the founding of this Nation, and talk about something they’re familiar with, whatever that might be.
So was I. It’s clear Sarah didn’t mean the pledge and that’s clear in Ann’s article.
Does he have another quarter on the table?

My theory- and it is a depressing one-- is that a lot of voters are opportunist, shallow doofuses, and that they are looking in a mirror...
My other theory is that the The New, Improved Black Jesus is really a Rorschach Test, and people are projecting whatever strange, internalized hopes, needs, and fears that have, on him.
It's that thing on the shelf next to the clevis. BTW, I think that "Clevis" would make a great redneck name (pronounced CLEE-VISS).
Hey, my Grandfather’s name was Clevis! (JK) Do you know why it is so hard for the police to solve redneck murders? No dental records, and everyone’s DNA is the same.
I said this last week.
One muses upon what the price of a soul must be today, since so many have sold theirs to Lucifer. It should be restricted in some manner, as the supply is so great, it must be depressing the market.
Some of the souls being sold are pretty stunted little things, like a corn cob when thrown on the fire, little more than giving up a sizzling sound before they have expired in the rising smoke.
Saul Alinsky’s soul was at least a lump of anthracite coal.
Jesus was NOT a community organizer. He did not agitate the people into demanding lower rent and midnight basketball courts.
Pilate was NOT an elected governor. He was appointed by a brutal regime, and he never enjoyed an 80% approval rating.
Those statements you so eloquently refuted are democrat talking points.
Ah, yes, the A&P Catholics: Ashes and Palms, they're down in front. Rest of the year, they disappear.
