Interestingly, there is a very obscure quote that is only revealed in the Greek New Testament.

Mat 27:16-17 And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barab'bas. So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barab'bas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

Of course, we know that Barabbas means "son of his father." But, looking at the Novum Testamentum Graece (Nestle-Aland), we see that it should be "Jesus, son of his father or Jesus who is called Christ:"

27:16 εἶχον δὲ τότε δέσμιον ἐπίσημον λεγόμενον Ἰησοῦν Βαραββᾶν 17 συνηγμένων οὖν αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος τίνα θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν Ἰησοῦν τὸν Βαραββᾶν ἢ Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Χριστόν

Why bring up the textual analysis?

Jesus Barabbas was a revolutionary...

The people back then selected the revolutionary and rejected God. Will the people now select the revolutionary, when that selection so clearly means a rejection of God?

Niccolo Machiavelli advised a ruler to cloak himself in religion, but not to be personally bound by it. Seems to be Obama’s approach.

Saul Alinsky

FINALLY! Someone is talking about this guys philosophy. This guy is the radical lefts Jesus! His book is their unholy Bible!

The left has been using his tactics since the 60's. It's a manipulation of the people without them being aware of what happening to them. Think "Gay rights." If the American people were asked how they felt about this when it first reared it's ugly head, things would have sounded a lot different than they do today. People wonder what the heck happened! Now their kids are being taught homosexuality in the schools. How did that happen, and why can't they can't stop it.

Please folks, google "Alinski Method". Find out exactly how the left gets away with the things it does. That way, you'll never get caught in their trap.
