Obama Brings God Into the Climate-Change Fight
Slate ^ | Jan. 21, 2013 | By Will Oremus

Posted on 01/22/2013 6:31:26 PM PST by Texas Fossil

Here is what Obama said:

"We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries — we must claim its promise. That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure — our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That's what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared."

Lots of largely dis-connected words, he projects the big "Green Lie", then he invokes GOD?

Yes, he can work up a crowd saying nothing of substance.

It reminds me of a book I read once called “Them”:
Stalin’s Polish puppets by Teresa Toranska. It was about Stalin’s underlings and how they acted. The preface for that book was an incredible description of this same technique.

Will have to dig it out of my library and post that excerpt.

It should have hit during the inauguration.

The irony is that if global warming is related to God, we really should give up hope of trying to change it and just cope. So no rebuilding on the Jersey shore and New Orleans - move to higher ground.

Seeing him reminded me of Mussolini in action..

he makes the railroads run on time and could care less if they are empty becuz no one can afford to ride them or catch them.

it takes a mindset of a man like that to ignore a sane reality and make his own and force others to endure it.

“You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; for Jehovah will not leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain.” KJV Exodus 20:7.

Lord, your will be done.

It is amazing to me that they keep beating this dead horse. The “scientist” have been caught red handed fudging the data. The uncorrupted data shows that there has been “no statistically significant” “global warming” for the last 16 years. Even Phil Jones the head of the CRU until he was forced to step down because of the “climategate” scandal was forced to publicly admit this.

They simply have so much invested in this sorry hoax that they must feel forced to come out swinging every day. The tactic most recently has been to release reports based on manipulated data with much fanfare. When when they are caught they issue some minor revision but no one covers it.

I keep expecting a lightening bolt or something every time BO mentions God or puts his hand on a Bible. God has his own plans for BO.

The text of Jesus^2 speech was exactly the same as Gill in ST:Patterns of Force: Meaningless platitudes pasted together with no rhyme or reason.

And just as the idiots I observed here in DC yesterday, the brainless masses lap it up.

If I was smart I would have just grabbed a pair of “O”-kneepads. But the gook grossed me out too much.

Kryptonite hint: To get the the lefties, note how stupid teh wan is. Point out he is a puppet being played by others.

THEY GO BILLY JACK BERZERK! (they had me kicked out of “their” bar in MY Hotel for quietly saying so).

Man, that truth hits too close to home for them.

God bless and keep you dandie.

yup. God’s timetable is all His own. and i believe mr. obama, hard heart and all, has no idea he is being used by Him.

but the leftists don’t concern me, they’re God’s to judge, and slaves to Evil, pity them. they’ll never listen to us.

His test, i believe, is for us disunited conservatives. what we have been doing has displeased Him. it is evident to me that my generation has strayed horribly. we are the ones now who must repent, humble ourselves, and find more courage to stand unwavering on His Word, come what may, faith only to sustain us. only then can we once again as His remnant come to shelter under His unifying hands. If we unify once again under God, He may then see fit to remove this scourge from us and allow us bring back His America. if He is for us, who can be against us. His will be done.

Let me get this straight, Obamao. God created this planet along with the evil hydrocarbons within it, knowing full well that we would discover them, utilize them, and ultimately kill His Creation?

It would be nice if Obama referenced specific Bible passages every once in awhile.

The safety of my family is "commanded to [my] care by God." That is why I need adequate weapons to protect them.

The economic care of our children and grandchildren is "commanded to our care by God," and so why are you and your party determined to put my posterity in crippling deabt, Mr. Obama ?

Well, according to liberal theology, GOD expects us to use wind and , not hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are the evil fossil fuels. We are told that fossil fuels are bad.

God commanded us (in USA only) to combat Climate Change with higher taxes. Think of it as a sacrifice to God with O being the High Priest.

No matter how much carbon China puts in the atmosphere ignoring O’s dramatic speeches its our intentions and our sacrifices that matter.

I gotta idea: lets ship the rest of our jobs to China and then we will be nearly carbon free and right in Os and God's eyes.
Except Gubment jobs, those are OK to have here.
