Dedicated leftist singer Harry Belafonte is frustrated in early 2012 that Barack Obama “has no moral compass.” About 85% of us claim the Bible as the foundational moral compass.
Can we set course in a world of chaos where we have to measure and guide the work of our leaders in a “Government of the People, by the People and for the People?” We have a big and ongoing job to regain our bearings and get back on course.
The polarity of that giant magnet called “Planet Earth” has switched from north to south and back again over eons of time. The “progressive” movement, after decades of nudging, has flipped the polarity of our national moral compass. The ship of state is lost in a sea of financial manipulation and selective privilege. It’s time for a course correction to re-assure a safe journey for all.
This Moral Compass consists of three sets of three priorities that can be identified in applying the philosophical, political and religious priorities of a people and those who rule them. It breaks down to how we Think Act and Operate.
How do we think?
Beauty, Ethics and Logic (The equally important normative sciences of Philosophy applied in this order idealize a world view that has succeeded in our Constitutional Republic. Seek Beauty first, then Ethics will be obvious and Logic will protect it.) How do we act?
Subsidiarity, Solidarity and Chaos (First we take personal responsibility, expect the unity of “e pluribus Unum” and enjoy the challenges and fruits of the chaos of unexpected opportunity.)
How do we operate?
High-Touch, High-Tech and High-Finance (Intuition, Reason and Enablement – Things must be visualized and developed for both things of beauty and technology can be created. High Finance is the servant, not…..

He could have a Muslim moral compass!

Obama is in many ways the symptom and not the cause of our current distress. Though politics gets most of the attention, the problems we face have their root in the sinfulness of each and every human heart. JEREMIAH 17:9 states “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” but ROMANS 6:23 gives us hope, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
During these troubled times, God himself offers a way out of our current national distress: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 chronicles 7:14). If Christians will pray, repent, and seek the Lord, we would see a great revival of our Nation.
Harry was for him before he was against him.
Obama relishes in Anti-Christian rhetoric as did Marx and Lenin
Snip: Part of the movement to communism is discrediting religion. The Soviets did it. The Chinese did it. Now Obama appears to be doing it. Both these regimes called out the bitter clingers and made it harder for them to worship. The extreme socialists, and we are unsure to the level Obama will take socialism, outlaw religion….
Everyone has a moral compass. Some have one based on traditional judeo-christian values, some base their morals on humanistic-marxist values.
Belafonte’s been a long-time GOP-hater since the Jesse Jackson “victimhood days”. If ya “wan go home”, Harry, it’s all right with me.
