Of course he is. He dare not admit his true leanings and ideology...that of an abject marxist...but he does slip up, and the people are catching on.

Normally it is best to avoid questioning a person’s faith, since ultimately only God knows hearts, but I cannot understand how anyone claiming to be a Christian eschews baptism. Baptism is essential to all Christians, even though we may differ as to the method and timing. It is still an essential. Has he ever given a reason for not being baptized?

(I did get the info that BO was not baptized from a friend, so if this is in error, you may disregard everything I said. My kids always do.)

I loved it! Everyone on the show was tiptoeing around with the usual stuff about how sure were are that Obama is patriotic, and means well, but he's just inexperienced yada yada, and Eagleburger just cut to the chase and took the gloves off.

Let’s see...Baptism would entail humbling oneself before God and the faithful. Obama is a malignant narcissist. By definition, narcissism is a grandiose sense of self-importance.

Ergo...

VIDEO: Obama Is A Charlatan (Swindler)

I think Eagleburger might be a charlatan himself claiming to be a McCain supporter. He sure didn’t finesse his opinion of a President Palin very well during a recent NPR interview where he ends by saying “Give her some time in the office and I think the answer would be — she will be adequate. I can’t say that she would be a genius in the job.” Now that is an honest assessment, but it doesn’t help McCain w/ undecideds or people who have doubts because of Palin (and those people do exist) any and gave left wing Palin bashers and the MSM fodder.

I have no explanation other than I suffer from OBS (Old Brain Syndrome). Somehow I misread the title, and added to my brain short circuit from reading the first comment after the story.

Yes, it is time to put me in a home.

However, my statement still stands, even if I posted it in the wrong place. :-)

Why are you helping to highjack this thread. Look in the dictionary if you don’t understand the definition of “charalatan”. HINT: It isn’t another word for “Christian”. DUH!!

Between Eagleburger’s adjectives of charlatan v adequate - I’d choose adequate.

To say the top of the rat ticket is a charlatan is pretty damning - and true, of course.

I saw the interview. Steve Doocy said “You’ve called Obama a charlatan. That means con man. Is that the term you meant to use?” Then Eagleburger essentially said yes, it was the term he meant to use and proceeded to give four or five reasonswhy, from hiding his records, to opting out of public finance, to illegal campaign contributions, to ACORN.

OK Match. Take a deep breath. Relax. You’re in a forest and a cool breeze caresses your skin in the dappled sunlight.

Charlatan: a person who pretends to more knowledge or skill than he or she possesses; quack.

The question had to do with Obama as a “quack” Christian, that is, a “charlatan.”

Obama is a charlatan in many ways. My response was to this suggestion. It was not an attempt to hijack this thread.

Immaterial. He has already apologized profusely for “mispeaking” and giving the wrong impression. He’s been making up for it ever since. In fact I videotaped him several times as he attempted to set the record straight.

He was on The Huckabee Show on Fox last night and said, among other effective things, “I want to make this clear - I believe that Obama is a charlatan.”

Then F&F booked him on this morning’s show to ask him about what he had said last night. He not only repeated what he had said, but expanded on it considerably. He still had more to say, but they had to cut away for a hard break.

This is a very effective video which should be sent out far and wide.

It’s not completely immaterial because the KOSsacks and MSM are using it against McCain, and you betcha they are not adding any clarifications or apologies Eagleburger made after-the-fact. Look I like and respect Eagleburger, but you can’t go on a MSM, and especially a NPR, show, and say the things he said not knowing they are going to get twisted beyond recognition. He’s a diplomat. He knows how to finesse things, but he didn’t and it hurt McCain, even if only marginally. That is all I’m saying.

Well Eagleburger is now falling on his sword and deliberately called Obama a charlatan, knowing full well he is going to have to defend that statement to the MSM who are going to come after him big time.

He doesn’t need any of us to join our political enemies by also piling on.

He needs our support, because he’s going to take immense heat for being willing to say what he said.

Eagleberger - he threw Palin under the bus, first.

Lawrence Eagleburger, who served as Secretary of State under George H.W. Bush and whose endorsement is often trumpeted by McCain, said on Thursday that the Alaska governor is not only unprepared to take over the job on a moment’s notice but, even after some time in office, would only amount to an “adequate” commander in chief.

“And I devoutly hope that [she] would never be tested,” he added for good measure — referring both to Palin’s policy dexterity and the idea of McCain not making it through his time in office.

“Pure flimflam man though with much worse intentions.” ~ HTuttle

You got that right. There are a lot of clueless, complacent people in this country who had better wake up - and fast. Eagleburger specifically referred to the fact that we don’t know anything about the “real” Obama, and how dangerous that is.

Farrakhan says ‘new beginning’ for Nation of Islam (SCARY...)
Saturday, October 18, 2008 11:56:06 AM Associated Press ^ | AP via Yahoo | Sophia Tareen

CHICAGO – The Nation of Islam, a secretive movement generally closed to outsiders, has planned a rare open-to-the public event at its Chicago-based headquarters in what the Minister Louis Farrakhan deemed a “new beginning” for the group. Hundreds of religious leaders of different faiths have been invited to the event planned for Sunday, a rededication of the group’s historic Mosque Maryam on the city’s South Side. Farrakhan is scheduled to speak. “We have restored Mosque Maryam completely, and we will dedicate it to the universal message of Islam, and the universal aspect of the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad,”...

Comments:

The Nation of Islam is an outgrowth of the Communist Party in the 1930s. Its goal is the overthrow of “racist” America.

Exactly. Like Reverend Wright’s concocted ‘religion’, it is actually revolutionary communist in its ideology. Both were/are parts of the Black Liberation Movement.

Black Liberation Theology can be packaged as Christian or as Moslem. There is a very close tie between Farrakhan, Wright and Obama. A socialist agenda is one thing, but a Liberation movement is another. “Spread the wealth” takes on a much different meaning.

In my mind, this link is the number one reason why Obama’s expunged history needs to be explored as thoroughly as is possible.

Ever read THIS from the Nation Of Islam website? Folks, this is looney tunes! Read it here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2108865/posts?page=21#21

“Normally it is best to avoid questioning a person’s faith”

I question Mr. Obama’s faith.

Seriously. And intentionally. The future of our nation, and of the West, depends on the answer to that question.

Not to do so, at this time, is to invite national suicide.
