Did Obama skip church on Christmas?
Beltway Confidential -- Washington Examiner ^ | 12-26-12 | Charlie Spiering

Did the Obama family skip church services this Christmas?

The White House readout of the President’s activities on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day makes no mention of church services – although the President and the First Lady made time to visit service members of the United States Military at the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii.

Below is the text of the White House release to the press:

Last night, the President made holiday telephone calls to US service members, then sat down with his family for Christmas Eve dinner.

This morning, the family gathered around 8AM to open their Christmas gifts. They then ate breakfast and sang carols.

This afternoon, the President and the First Lady traveled to the Marine Base to visit with servicemembers and their families.

In the evening, the First Family and friends will enjoy dinner at their home.

The Obama family attended Church on Christmas during their Hawaii vacation in 2011 and 2010 – attending services at the chapel at the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. The family made headlines in 2009, when they attended no religious services.

Obama is expected to leave tonight to return to Washington D.C., while his family remains in Hawaii.

He’s not a Christian, so why would it matter.

The truth be told, he is a Muslim, Marxist, turd and not a native born citizen (read ineligible to be POTUS, but very eligible to be called a POS.

The ‘carols’ singing is hard for me to imagine because BHO & Co. have never given any indication that they accept the Divinity of the risen Christ. Most carols speak of Christ as God incarnate, don’t they?

He no longer has to pretend to worship Christ. This man does not have Christ as the center of his life.

I feel sorry for his children. They have everyTHING, but they have nothing, really.

So true. Just think of this Holiday season as the Ogrinch that stole Christmas past, present and future. But, “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!” Thank you Lord Jesus! Amen.

Rev. Wright's so-called "Christian" church was a Mudslime laundry that Mudslime communists like the Illegal could go to to get fake "Christian" credentials that would enable them to run for office and scam the voters. Otherwise, how could anybody explain the fact that Wright, a former Black Muslim, remained on excellent terms with Louis Farrakan, although the Koran prescribes death for apostates, which Wright definitely would have been if he'd actually converted to Christianity. The same definintely applies to the Illegal, who started out a Mudslime and has never been deemed an apostate in spite of his "Christian conversion."

Obama LOVES Rmadan but seems to ignore Easter and Christmas.-I.M. Kane of The Millstone Diaries writes of the attempt to eliminate Good Friday from our national conscience.

Did this act of intolerance and anti-Christian bigotry occur in San Francisco’s notorious Castro District? Fire Island? Key West?Boston?

None of the above.

This Stalinistic attempt at erasing history was perpetrated in Davenport, Iowa.

A taxpayer supported group ominously called the Davenport Civil Rights Commission has imposed its narrow-minded bigotry on the people of that middle-American city.

The apparartchik responsible is a petty bureaucrat named Craig Malin.

Just as no one in the managed “mainstream media” (MSM) asked the fundamental question “Why did the islamic jihadi known as the Underwear Bomber choose, of all days, Christmas day to attack the US?” No one seems to see the acceleration of hate-filled anti-Christian bigotry subsequent to Mr. Obama’s assinine assertion while visiting Turkey last year that Americans no longer consider their country a “a Christian nation … but a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.”

The Underwear Bomber chose to attack us on CHRISTMAS! Maybe he didn’t get the memo from Obama.

Sadly, the extremists in Davenport, Iowa did.

I.M. Kane reports that this anti-Christian zealot “...made the name change unilaterally, and then... sent a memo around to municipal employees informing them that Good Friday was now “Spring Holiday.”
“We merely made a recommendation that the name be changed to something other than Good Friday. Our Constitution calls for separation of church and state. Davenport touts itself as a diverse city and given all the different types of religious and ethnic backgrounds we represent, we suggested the change..,”

Of course, the Constitution calls for no such thing. The phrase “separation of church and state” is found nowhere in the U.S. Constitution. The concept is totally foreign to our foundational documents. Our Constitution and Declaration of Independence explicitly recognize and aknowledge our Creator God.

Making Obama’s de-Christianization dream come true seems to be the goal of the Davenport Human Rights Commission and Leftists everywhere. Why?

Because the state is a jealous god. The state can have no other gods, especially the True and Living God, before it. Doing so limits the powers of the state.

Dennis Prager makes the compelling point that

“...Leftism, though secular, must be understood as a religion (which is why I have begun capitalizing it). The Leftist value system’s hold on its adherents is as strong as the hold Christianity, Judaism and Islam have on their adherents. Nancy Pelosi’s belief in expanding the government’s role in American life, and therefore her passion for the health care bill, is as strong as a pro-life Christian’s belief in the sanctity of the life of the unborn.
Given the religious nature and the emotional power of Leftist values, Jews and Christians on the Left often derive their values from the Left more than from their religion.

Now, of course, most Leftist Jews and Christians will counter that Leftist values cannot trump their religion’s values because Leftist values are identical to their religion’s values. But this argument only reinforces my argument that Leftism has conquered the Christianity and the Judaism of Leftist Christians and Jews. If there is no difference between Leftist moral values and those of Judaism or Christianity, then Christianity is little more than Leftism with “Jesus” rhetoric added, and Judaism is Leftism with Jewish terms — such as “Tikkun Olam” (”repairing the world”) and “Prophetic values” — added.

But if Christianity is, morally speaking, really Leftism, why didn’t Catholics or Protestants assert these values prior to 19th-century European Leftism? And, if Judaism is essentially a set of Left-wing values, does that mean that the Torah and the Talmud are Leftist documents? Or are the two pillars of Judaism generally wrong? “

Fundamentally liberals, progressives and Leftists in general hate Jesus, hate the Bible and hate Christians with a passion. They do so because it presents rival truth claims. They have their religion. The state is the “god” for Leftists, and any who dare disagree are blaspheming their “god.”

This Christmas please pray for the conversion of Obama, Pelosi and all of your Leftist friends and neighbors. They are bowing down before the pagan idol known as the state. They seek to silence the Truth because He is the sole source of light and darkness hates the light. Pray for them. It’s their only hope

He’s a nominally Christian secular humanist. Since the majority of self-identified Christians in the US don’t attend services in a regular basis, why should we act surprised?

No Christmas proclamation on Christmas either. But there is a nice “Rainbow” tree in the White House. (slide #1)
