Those are some very excellent and intriguing points you mentioned. On that note, it’s interesting that a Conservative Christian will have the discipline to hold his tongue when he needs to, but liberals just blurt out their foolish musings without any thought, or consideration as to what they are actually saying. It’s the reality of Proverbs 17:28 where it says, “Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,and discerning if he holds his tongue.” But they don’t hold their tongue. They frequently air their isane, idealistic, unrealistic, delusional opinions, even after they have been proven not to work. And the more they are proven not to work, the more they say, “Oh, we didn’t do it right this time. We’ll just do it a different way next time.” Wasn’t it Albert Einstein that said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?” And what happens when the right gets in and does things.... right, or mostly right? In a raging hatred, they go ballistic, but this time exhibiting the reality behind Proverbs 12:16 where it says, “16 A fool shows his annoyance at once,but a prudent man overlooks an insult.”

liberals are so “in your face” about it too. They are too delusional and stubborn in their delusional mindset.

It wasn’t all that long ago Americans (from both sides) held similar principles. Now, it has reached the point that if you are for empowering the individual, and you look at things through the perspective of realism, you are considered a right wing extremist, and if you look at things through sensationalist romanticism, and you are for making the government your “all in all,” then you are an “enlightened individual” with a substantiated bounty of insights worthy of evaluation and careful consideration. It’s enough to make you puke.

It is not an accident nor a convention of chronology that the first story of the Judeo-Christian Bible is the story of the fall, the story of disobedience, of a challenging by man of God's supremacy and his estrangement from God. Nor is it accidental that the First Commandment is about the primacy of God and the second is about submission to him-and only him.

Since I think we are agreed that Obama is the narcissist, we must be in agreement that Obama finds these constraints of the Judeo-Christian heritage to be anathema. This is the state of all liberals. All are in rebellion against the sovereignty of God because they themselves would be God. Any religion which calls them to submission is a threat to the ego and it is the ego which is the Faustian parasite that keeps them in rebellion.

Compelled to play God, leftists and narcissists of one degree or another must rationalize their condition. Much of that is done unconsciously and it explains, for example, the visceral hatred of Sarah Palin, a kind of Billy Budd effect, which betrays the leftists psychological as well as spiritual nakedness. This is why we find the Democrats always disparaging Republicans as "stupid" because they cannot tolerate an eschatology which turns on anything but they themselves organizing the heavens and the earth. There can simply be no other authority. By carrying a Down's syndrome baby to term, Sarah Palin became the physical embodiment of man's submission to God and to God's law.

When they nod their head towards religion they come up with a kind of religion that safely leaves them uncircumcised both physically and psychically. In other words, they find a religion like Baha'i which leaves them entirely unfettered or, more to the point, their egos undiminished. So the leftist's reaction to Christians is much the same as his reaction to believing observant Jews, he is repelled. But he has not the same reaction to secular Jews or to secular Christians for the reasons set forth above.

This is why the left did not fear Bill Clinton no matter how big the Bible he toted out of church because they knew that he was only making broad his phylacteries for show. Likewise their reaction to Obama: they were always confident during the campaign that he supported the kind of religion which they would find tolerable because it made no assaults on the ego.

To extend the hypothesis, this is why leftists can be so murderous-because not only do they lack the restraints imposed by religion, they have perverted religion to the point that they have become God and their egos are utterly unrestrained. That is why I think Obama has the potential to get America into a very bloody war. I do not share the idea that he will conduct a foreign policy like Jimmy Carter's but on tranquilizers and shrink from confronting a threat to his own power. I believe Barack Obama fully capable as a narcissist to commit atrocities to keep alive the ego parasite within.

I believe the key to understanding Obama is the psychological need to play God.The mystery comes from his art in disguising his narcissism.
