I have faith that history will record that Obama was a wavering reed in the winds of change. That he did not keep his promises. That he publicly embarrassed America. That he insulted America’s friends. That he prosecuted America’s defenders and heroes. What a guy!
0bama and the “progressive”, i.e. communist, clergy apparently avoid the words of the Apostle Paul in 2nd Corinthians 9:7.
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
Looks like the Apostle left out the part where the almighty collectivist state, acting in the place of the God whom they declare is “dead”, takes the moneys by threat of force, keeps about 90% for “administrative” costs, and gives the rest to their sycophants among the peasantry.
O might remember the arrogance of the designers of the Titanic.
God himself could not sink this boat.
That just goes to show how much you know about God, Obama. That does not mean ROB your brother and sister to pay for someone elses health care.
And why is it when Bush mentions God, the media and entire left ridicules him, but when Obama mentions God, especially when his and Rev Wrights God hates America and whitey, Media has nothing but "Amens"??
How stupid does media think the general public is that they can't see this blatant bias day after day after day as Obama stumbles around like a bull in a china shop screwing up everything in this country, his every blunder excused away by his worshipping media?
Disgusting.
does anyone know where the “brothers keeper” concept originated?
from Cain, being flippant answering God, after Cain had killed Abel.
Gen 4:9
I strongly disagree w/ Jonah here.
To understand Obama's faith one needs to go back to Rev Wright at whose knee Obama sat for 20 years. Wright was no Christian. Let me repeat that;
Rev. Wright is not a Christian, he does not teach the Gospel of redemption but rather an ersatz concoction of retribution and that is what informs Obama's "faith".
Lovely little sermonette by Mr. Goldberg. Unfortunately, his argument is reduced to inanity by virtue of using Obama as the example.
This passage on Goldberg's "Liiberal Facism" blog at NRO yesterday is more to the point.
Indeed, our own messianic president, who insists that we can create a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, also apparently believes that “we are God's partners in matters of life and death” and that religious organizations that are true to their calling should rally behind a united front to expand the scope and role of government. When the head of state says such things, it is hard not to be reminded of the Progressive concept of the God State, a major theme of Liberal Fascism. The “State is the actually existing, realized moral life . . . The divine idea as it exists on earth,” Hegel declared in The Philosophy of History. The State, according to Hegel, was the “march of God on earth.” The progressives agreed. Richard Ely, the founding father of progressive economics, proclaimed “God works through the State in carrying out His purposes more universally than through any other institution.”
The American public is weary of clever wordsmithing. I wish Goldberg would stay focused on the target in this most critical of all times in our nation's history, and not go wandering off as an intellectual scold of the right, finding a "refreshing" "change of pace" in the cynical use of religion as a political tool.
Obama and faith? Simple. It's another trick card in his deck. Means nothing else to him. Look at his face. Look at him pretending to pray at the Wailing Wall, and leaking his "prayer" to the press. Look at how he imposes his authority on God's ("we're partners with God in life and death").
Obama wants you to think both you and he have faith. That way, he can manipulate you.
Most dangerous kind of human, this one.
"insisted that God was on his side"
Doubtful.
