"I Will Follow Him": Obama As My Personal Jesus
Smith College Sophian (via NRO Campaign Spot) ^ | September 18, 2008 | Maggie Mertens

Posted on 10/01/2008 8:40:00 AM PDT by greyfoxx39

My interest was piqued, but the dark time lived on until my faith in others was renewed on Jan. 4 in the Iowa state primary. Obama had beat out squeaky clean southern boy John Edwards and former first lady and next in the line of political succession Hillary Clinton. I was in shock. And then I came to Jesus/Obama.

I donated to the campaign. I followed every primary with bated breath, and muttered my prayers to the political gods while proselytizing the miracle of my new prophet. I got a car magnet, I bought a t-shirt; a pin and bumper sticker are on their way to my campus mailbox. Then the media and right wing questioning began: what is he? A rock star, or the next president? Bono or Britney? The naysayers used his popularity among young people against him. Who had ever heard of political posters in college dorm rooms? Bumper stickers on the back of your high school neighbor's Jetta? Guess what those "Jesus is my homeboy" t-shirts were replaced with at Urban Outfitters? A smiling Obama under his own cutesy sayings like "Obama for yo Mama."

I must admit, I questioned this myself. After all, would I have ever bought a t-shirt with Al Gore's face on it? Was this all he was, the newest pop culture fad? I questioned my newfound faith - was it all only a phase, like the time I thought I was Baptist in junior high? But my inner dogmatic struggle only helped cement my beliefs as I followed politics more closely than ever before. Obama's mere presence, knowledge and enthusiasm in the political realm inspired my own desire to understand what exactly had gone wrong, what exactly he could do to remedy the mess we'd made.

Then I began to realize I wasn't the only one trying to buy a WWOD bracelet and spending my weekends scouring CNN.com. The rock star-type love for Obama wasn't just because he was pretty and in the media. Others too, had seen him as a shining light, heard that mythical voice boom out over the mountaintops; people were wearing the t-shirt because they would rather wear something representing a politician than a pop star. People everywhere, young and old, were caring again. So what's the problem here?

I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I'll be standing there in our nation's capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen.

If I were running a profitable medium sized business right now I’d arrange to transfer ownership, get a few security contracts, and all personnel would be sub-contracted out and screened to meet top-security clearances.

Move the firm’s headquarter’s to a no income tax state - as little or no state sales tax - property tax minimal.

Research and do what the big liberal foundations do.

Any applicant of sub that submitted or supplied personnel with fraudulent IDs or applications would be turned in to the FBI immediately.

There is a reason for honest temporary personnel services that you can sub out to.

Do this before the November elections.

I really would have done it before March 2008 myself.

Those leaving DC early next year already “have theirs” here in the US - or perhaps in the islands - or on a really huge ranch waaaaay “South of the Border” - and really do not care if you face a Socialist tax happy Congress and a scumbag Marxist Messiah - with a $700 billion opening hand - and nothing in their pocket - except you!

If they had really cared - or were up to the job - They would have proved it and you would not be facing a war here in the USA that will destroy America faster than bin Laden could have dreamed of.

Marc Rich was able to grab and run illegally - and has never faced any consequences -

You can save what you have legally - not easily - but you can “change” and put your property and assets and savings out of the reach of the Uhbamanites.

Or you can just wait and pray and hope and sing.

When you are up there in heaven your kids and grandkids will appreciate how you protected their lives, freedoms, liberties, rights, futures.....

Religion is a nice thing -

But some on FR and elsewhere have a very callous idea of how they leave their families.

There was a good reason that Jesus insisted his Disciples carried swords.

When he went to the temple he did not stand there and merely debate those who he believed should not be there.

Jesus also knew what would follow his crucification would not be peace and tranquility and kids singing songs of change and hope and all that good stuff.

Who will have the guts to stand up and rattle the cages and sign up those who will throw out the fakers and cheats?

Maybe there will be a good movie on TMC or choir practice on Wednesday night when something to stop the left could be done.

ACORN and Obama would approve of that......

In November plan on seeing that our brave troops overseas fighting will be denied the votes they cast again

- In the past 66% of military ballots were disallowed - do you really beieve that President Bush and the Pentagon will see that our soldiers will be able to vote and be counted like a Chicago bum drinking a pint of Night Train for his vote for Obama?

Why should out troops be quiet and listen and then obey the orders of a Marxist thug - Shipped out perhaps to some 3rd world zoo die for the Kenyan Messiah?

Frankly I’m surprised that some of the lefties have not been visited by Vets or their families - Only to shake hands of course.....

Temperature outside is dropping fast now at night - I wonder if a certain Chicago mansion is kept at 72°F - or below now?

I’m sure Uhbama shipped his old Chrysler 300C Hemi to his brother in Africa living in that hut - claiming he was living on a few dollars a year - and “anything I can take!” -

Hmmm - Chicago lifestyle!

Obama Youth - Junior Fraternity Regiment

THE DEAN OF THE SCHOOL LIED! The kids chant, “Obama’s speech on race to America!” THAT WAS MARCH OF THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!

This was pulled after the school was contacted. Watch it...it’s sick. I DID NOT MAKE THIS VIDEO, BUT I DID SAVE A COPY YESTERDAY WHEN IT HAD ONLY 250 VIEWS. I’M JUST REPOSTING SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT. MR.L GETS THE CREDIT FOR CALLING THE SCHOOL...NOT ME.

This from Mr. L’s Tavern

MR.L on SINGING FOR CHANGE *MORE UPDATES*
Category: News and Politics

There’s an update regarding the video with the African American teens shown on YouTube in the video below. This morning, I received a message from a friend named Dan who gave me the address of the school where this video was filmed. This is the name:

URBAN COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
1524 PASEO BLVD
18th & Vine District, Kansas City, MO
Educational Organization

I called and spoke to Bernard, who said he was the assistant Dean. He was very gentlemanly and when I voiced my concerns about the video, he told me that this was taken at the school last year when Obama was beginning his campaign. He assured me that they stopped this “regiment” because they felt the person who was organizing it was pushing his political agenda.

Duh.

He assured me that he didn’t know it was on YouTube. I gave him the link to where to go for this video and when he found it he said, “Oh this is not good. I had no idea” I told him I’d take his word for it. He then asked me, nicely, “what’s the main concern? Because I want to understand where you’re coming from so that I can figure out how to handle this.”

Nicely, I told him that the video looked militant. I told him about the Colburn School video and how it resembles propaganda films from Communist dictatorships. I told him that the US military is frowned upon for going to high schools trying to recruit potential grads into joining their ranks. Why shouldn’t we frown upon those who come to a school like yours to encourage kids to worship a politician? One who is not even a president.

I also said that if this was done to make kids feel better about themselves, why do it in the name of Obama? Why not encourage kids to believe in the power of themselves?

He assured me that he would get to the bottom of the situation, thanked me for my call and we hung up.

That’s all for now.
