It is fitting that presidents give farewell messages. But given the venue and setting President Obama had chosen, it was fairly easy to surmise that this would be a final political rally and national lecture.
I will simply recount the one lasting legacy of Barack Obama that will always be emblazoned in my memory. When I think of him, I will think of this. When I reflect on his promised era of hope and change, I will be drawn to this image.
Despite your personal feelings on his coolness, his character, his charisma, or his competence, Barack Obama will forever be the president who worked diligently to put the gun of government to the heads of the Little Sisters of the Poor, demanding that they either pay to destroy children in the womb or be crushed.
You can't candy-coat that. You can't hide it. You can't pretend it wasn't what it was. For 177 years, the Little Sisters of the Poor has been a large Roman Catholic religious ministry that takes vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and hospitality. Serving the Kingdom of God on earth in over 30 countries, they have one stated mission: to care for impoverished people as they near the end of their lives. As Ashley McGuire describes it, "The only fight they go looking for is to make the last days of some very downtrodden people brighter and happier, to send as many people into the next life surrounded by love, not garbage."
Barack Obama knew that, personally. Regardless, he instructed his administration to rewrite executive regulations nine separate times to ensure these nuns be forced to either violate their conscience by helping distribute abortifacients or be fined $70 million a year and out of existence.

The vows of poverty (part of the Evangelical Counsels) are part of the consecrated life and as such are individual vows, not organizational vows.
TheSisters have no assets to seize.
Quite the contrary, they have land and buildings. The Obama administration would be pleased to take over their hospices and remake them into secular, government-run institutions, thereby kicking the sisters out.
God help us.
Thank you for the reminder of this ghastly sin!
I think it’s easy to forget, but I for one, vividly recall that almost every single friggin’ day there was something about Obama and his administration that was repulsive.
Every single day.
Then to hear that this guy thinks his administration was a success. It was an abject failure in every way.
Also, I dont understand why his legacy isnt the last sentence .. I dont get it.
Most people just have it on a list of things to me it is probably THE thing because it requires a complete breakdown of the culture and decency (I.e. Communism) in order to be accepted. Explain the people of North Carolina they voted for Trump and re-elected a Republican Senator but threw out the Republican Governor because he signed a bill requiring bathroom occupancy to be determined by you DNA identified gender. And what kind of ghouls think it is otherwise acceptable? Pure evil.
I dont get it
Obama, the flappy faggot who tried to beat up some nuns
I wish more non-Catholics knew about the Little Sisters and their good works. They care for the most destitute of elderly with noplace else to go. They make the rounds of restaurants and grocery stores seeking daily donations of leftover food. Many of them are over 70 themselves.
Eventually the pendulum will swing back to common sense and intellectual integrity; and historians will write the true story.
I wouldn’t want to be a descendant of Obama, when those books come out.
“Folks...only 6% of the 325,000,000 million Americans tuned in the Obama, ‘Farewell Speech.’
So glad to read that little FACTOID!
Eight days to go and then the healing of America can begin! :)
“Folks...only 6% of the 325,000,000 million Americans tuned in the Obama Farewell Speech.”
But according to the media he has really high approval ratings.
Thank you for posting this. Read it on FB this morning and was hoping someone posted this.
I cannot WAIT for that awful man to be gone.
Yours is a good deconstruction.
His legacy is made up of pieces of atrocities .... some of his actions rankled people more than others.
People like to highlight the odious things he did that rankled them.
No. His sickest thing was the promotion and normalization of sodomy and bestiality in the military, and then, worse, the endorcement of the irrational, vile concept of “homosexual” “marriage” (oxymoron) in SCOTUS (Just Law-ha ha). It literally removes “Right Reason” and Natural Law from our “Justice” system, making it an irrational satanic vice system.
Don’t get me wrong. Killing babies is really evil “law” and unconstitutional, but we could at least hide our live children from thinking that killing babies was “good”.
What is vile is the normalization of satanism and paganism—the old homosexual cultures, where pederasty has to become normalized again, since homosexuality is a learned worldview (culture). (Homosexuality was a Marxist German creation in the 1800s to destroy Christianity (the Natural Family unit) and destroy the normal sexual formation in children. The pederasts, like the Fabian Socialist, John Maynard Keynes, wanted boy orgies to be normalized again like it was in Ancient and primitive cultures. They “think” sodomizing children is “love”-—as they think homosexuality is “love” to want to sodomize others. It destroys the concept of “love” and “marriage” and flips morality completely (satanism).
A child raised to think that sodomizing others is “Good” will believe that children can be denied a mother and father and killed—both force a satanic worldview on children.
We now have a toxic culture (evil laws) which will normalize an evil worldview in very little children which will destroy the Christian worldview—that which created the Age of Reason, Modern Science and the USA Constitution.
We are regressing back to total irrationality-—(Postmodernism)-—just like pre-Christian cultures where men like Caligula dressed like a woman and molested all the little boys, and castrated them.....much like in Afghanistan now.
The Postmodernist Progressive/Marxist) movement is to destroy Reason and Logic formation in little children-—to create tribal (irrational) worldview so they will remain slaves for life.
it took thousands of years of Christian Worldview to remove slavery and pederasty and incest as a “Good” so that we could form a truly moral, free culture-—as free as possible. But Virtue is essential to freedom and Satanists want to destroy virtue formation in children. That is why all the vice is now normalized-—so they can corrupt and warp all perceptions of the little children. It took 100 years to get parents to allow their own children to be shaped and formed by strangers and the State (public skools). But now since TV (satanists) and skools have total control over the minds of the masses (along with Fake News for the last 100 years), we have flipped worldview in over 50 percent of the ignorant masses to satanism/nihilism.
This is a “must read”, as it best captures Obama’s disdain for freedom and Christian values.
Obama the soulless piece of flesh that walks among us.
I think the tell all books will come out that will reveal what a total amateur the man was. I suspect there were people in the room at meetings, that were rolling their eyes at what was coming out of the guy’s mouth.
I don’t think the guy ever did an ounce of preparation or research. He brought nothing to the table. Nothing.
Any Freeper here could have done a better job running the country.
WE’re now learning about the massive payoffs to Iran, and his lack of courage in fighting any of our engagements.
His cabinet picks in comparison to Trump, look like children.
The guy talked a big talk. I recall of him, storming into a meeting where the president of China and other SE Asian leaders were, early on in his presidency when he learned he had not been invited.
He’s left a huge mess for Trump and the other adults to pick up.
The difference in the two men is amazing, and in fact, I’ve come to realize that some of the dumbest people in our country reside in our Senate. Marco Rubio is a light weight. Chuck Schumer is an idiot. Cory Booker? Paleeze.
Trump will raise bar from here on out. Only the best and brightest will be in that office. I see Pence as the heir apparent.
At times it was Every Hour
Heh! True, true.
