Obama’s age of atonement
The Financial Times ^ | September 25 2009 | Christopher Caldwell

"...The new order Mr Obama has in mind will either be too easy (leaving the structure of US interests untouched and hoping the world will be satisfied by the mere lack of Mr Bush) or too hard (throwing out the interests, too). “No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed,” Mr Obama says. “The traditional division between nations of the south and north makes no sense in an interconnected world...

This is becoming more and more clear each day.

We need a president who believes in American exceptionalism.

I thought about this when I was watching Netanyahu's speech at the U.N. the other night. Here is a man who believes in his country and in standing up for it. We need someone like that for our country.

He grew up in Indonesia and then in Hawaii which had just become a state. How much American history did he learn in school? How much of our culture became a part of him while he was growing up in Indonesia? He is anti-American partly because his culture isn’t American and what he did learn about us was all from US hating communists. His “love” of this country is a guise.

“No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed,” Mr Obama says.
That is a tacit admission that there is, in fact, an attempt to establish a world order.
So there is no "conspiracy". There's just subtlety and guile.

So, America had better apologize for rebuilding Europe, sending aid to Africa, Latin America, and Asia, tackling tyrants in the third world, protecting shipping and trade against piracy (until recently), and defending the free world against aggressors.

Do you guys in the rest of the world thing you can do it better on your own, without American aid and protection? Lots of luck.

Unless it is one before which Dear Leader bends, grovels,
bows, and on bended knees, prostrate, awaits orders.

Who gives a rats ass what Obama thinks about NWO. He had a chance to take the bully pulpit on the issue at the UN, but handed it over to Bibi, who is now the leader of the Free World.

All Obama has for international support is a cadre of Muslim dictators who have their own plans, and are only humoring Obama. They want a World Wide Calphate, with Sharia Law for all.

Obama is a kid in a sand box telling the world what it must do? Based on what? That his skin is dark. That he is "special?" He has no respect from the rest of the free world, nor from Russia or China. He has no bully pulpit, and no record of diplomatic achievement.

Obamas pronouncements on international affairs, voiced in tones of self-induced gravitas are a laughing stock.Obama is acting like a tin hat dictator, and so the free world ignores him, and bides its time for this unfit prig to simply pass from his little corner of the World Stage, given him only out of courtesy to his predecessors.

Bibi is now the leader of the free world. Obama, listening to his neo-colonial , black power , anti iperialist, leftist socialist advisors missed his chance at the UN to actually show the World that he was indeed a genuine American.Instead he floated an appeasement policy to a bunch of tin pot dictators and tyrants.

Bibi had to do the job FOR Obama, who forever more will remember how close to greatness he was, but for the advice of his leftist stable hands.

Obama was merely a bat boy at the World Series, who carried water for the losing team.

Go home now Obama, and practise licking the hand of the enemy. Thats all you got bro.!

So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and g ave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock -their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year..

But the famine wasn’t over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. “There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh.” So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh’s government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain. What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?

That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes. That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master? Yes.

But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen . And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” God provided for His people, just as always has! Th ey didn’t end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one. We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to “share the wealth “once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama’s government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh’s government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a “Messiah,” don’t they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn’t the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh”?

Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. Obama is no Messiah! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh.

Bow with me in prayer, if you will.

Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says “And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.” And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh’s government.

Obama is a Muslim himself, so he is delivering the US up to feed the Muslim machine with our wealth.

Agreed. But for that, Obama needs to get out of the way and let the military take it forward. Thats his only hope on this issue.Maybe, just maybe he has the smarts to do it, but I am doubtful. Ideology shades his intelligence too much.

You're absolutely right. You also know he'd never let the military have their own rein.

Those behind the scenes, his managers, have long term plans that involve our armed services against our will. Why wouldn't Ayers, Soros & friends want to keep the dominant military on earth under their control.
