No point in virtual yelling.
I believe that you are the one who missed the whole point of Chucks article. His point is that the "religious right" has crowned our President as "God's anointed" , thereby placing him above his responsibilities to our Constitution. The very thing that you have done.
accusing him of using the Religious Right for his own political purposes. I'm not sure that I wholly agree with Chuck here, but his point is not without merit.
the text in Psalms says - KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT OTHER CHRISTIANS...
David wasn't just "commenting" - he was warning people not to mess with GOD's anointed. GOD's anointed

Ok I'll give you that he was doing more than commenting. He was reminding the nation of Israel how God had preserved them in their flight from Egypt. Giving praise to God. Hardly a "warning" of any kind.
I find it interesting that the context of the scripture has no meaning to a Pastor.

Psa 105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Psa 105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
Psa 105:7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
Psa 105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Psa 105:9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
Psa 105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
Psa 105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
Psa 105:12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
Psa 105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
Psa 105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
Psa 105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Psa 105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
Psa 105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
Psa 105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Psa 105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
Psa 105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

What on earth does that have to do with the fact that America has a President and not a King ..??
I understand how you got lost here. No real point in trying to explain because, according to my understanding of your position, we already have our "anointed one", so I should just sit down, shut up, and hang on for the ride. - Chucks point exactly.

Cordially, (although it may not seem so - it is true)

And .. I'M NOT YELLING - it's just to make a point.

"the scripture has no meaning to a Pastor" ???

BECAUSE IT'S MEANT FOR EVERYONE!! When David explained that GOD said, "touch not" - that meant EVERYONE! You didn't have to be a Pastor to get the admonition to leave GOD's children alone.

And the words "TOUCH NOT" appear to be a little strong for just a "comment".

The "religious right" DIDN'T CROWN OUR PRESIDENT AS "GOD'S ANOINTED". Our President, by reason of his "born again status" IS .. GOD's anointed (as is every other "born again" person). But .. what others who can't be bothered to study don't realize is that GOD does anoint people to stand in certain offices of leadership. Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Pastors, Teachers, Preachers of the Gospel; GOD does this regardless of whether the Religious Right agrees or not.

This "crowning" does not in any way put the President ABOVE THE CONSTITUTION. And .. the President does not believe he is ABOVE the Constitution. I do not believe he's ABOVE the Constitution.

And .. I don't agree with Chuck Baldwin on anything.

"I should just sit down, shut up, and hang on for the ride"

How in tarnation did you come to that conclusion. And .. don't use your condescending tone that it's just too difficult to explain - because you're quite confident I'm to addled to understand; oh please.
