Honor thy father and thy mother

Excessive separation, in the absence of a father [and mother], has led to a pattern of idealized control that Obama has not only imposed on himself, but now wants to impose on the United States of America. ~ Dr. Michael Savage

The fifth commandment, "Honor thy father and thy mother," is God's call to family. It mandates loving care and respect for all family members. Hierarchy, unity, tradition and respect are the mortar that holds the building blocks of the family together, which in turn builds a strong nation. As the foundation of the family goes, so goes a nation. Regarding the family, theologian Charles Ryrie said, "Proper order in the family becomes the basis for a solid social structure."

How does family relate to the character development of our commander in chief, President Barack Obama? In welcoming our newest commentator to the WorldNetDaily family, conservative intellectual and radio host, Dr. Michael Savage, I came across an interesting item on this very subject that he wrote last year, "Obama on the couch."

Savage, in his singularly unique way, captured the essence of Obama's psyche, his insecurities, his childhood, his mother, his father and in a few eloquent words set forth a magnificent case study into this tragic manchild that would grow up to be president of the United States. Savage wrote:

Michael Savage can occasionally make sense

Savage answers with a convincing psychiatric analysis in his own inimitable manner:

What appears to have happened to Obama as a result is he developed symptoms of what psychologists refer to as an Oedipal Complex. In an Oedipal Complex, a male child is fixated on his mother and competes with his father for maternal attention. In such cases, a critical point of awakening occurs where the child realizes that the mother has affections for others besides himself. In this case, Obama had to compete with multiple paternal stand-ins and was never fully able to bond with his mother. The result seems to have been resentment toward women that he has never been able to get beyond.

Savage concludes:

Furthermore, excessive separation within an Oedipal Complex leads to a sense of helplessness that can in turn lead to patterns of idealized control and self-sufficiency. Obama’s mother sent him to live away from her when he was 10 and again when he was 14.

That last sentence is quintessential Savage … pure genius and inspiration.

“Honor thy father and thy mother” are such utterly sublime words for the ages. How can one truly honor his father and mother if, as in Obama’s case, they repeatedly abandoned the manchild and left him to the care of others? The mother, named “Stanley” by Obama’s maternal grandfather, had to grapple with the rejection and psychic trauma of not being loved as a little girl because her father, Stanley Durham Sr., so desperately coveted having a boy child.

How can you honor your father and your mother when there is little to honor? When throughout your life there has been only a dishonorable mother and mother figures, a dishonorable father and father figures? In the meantime, America is descending into the paroxysm of economic depression, diabolical neo-Marxism and toward the Orwellian nightmare of a one-world government under his authority. What is driving Obama to this madness?

Savage says,

"The absence of a father has led to a pattern of idealized control that Obama has not only imposed on himself, but now wants to impose on the United States of America."

Actually this command Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee is a command which if followed will tend to increase a persons lifespan.

Many times, following this command requires forgiveness. The reason being, A person who hates their parents will carry that anger internally all their days and that anger has a corrosive effect on their well being.

Either the person gets rid of that anger, or they go through life angry, bitter, depressed and suffering the health consequences.

The way to get rid of the anger is either forgivness and/or maturity.

I can see what the writer is saying through most of the article. However, I don't get the following part:

“As a matter of fact, throughout Obama’s entire 47 years there were dishonorable mother and father figures who, though they indelibly shaped the manchild, could not receive his honor, including Karl Marx, Saul Alinsky, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, Louis Farrakhan, Father Pfleger, professor Laurence Tribe, professor Charles Ogeltree, Rahm Emmanuel and the communist Frank Marshall Davis, just to name a few.”

I don't know about Woodrow Wilson, but Obama is on record, either literally or by his actions for honoring the rest of the gang.

I would say Obama shares Woodrow Wilson’s globalism and desire for a one world government. I remember my college’s left-wing history professor telling us about Wilson and going on and on about how wonderful Wilson was and how mean Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr., was and how Lodge and the other Republicans were villains for opposing WW on the League of Nations that would’ve brought us “utopia”. Liberalism truly is truly a false religion as well as a mental disorder.
