The President Without a Country

// September 14th, 2009 // 8 Comments » // My Thoughts

Pat Boone recently wrote an article on worldnetdaily called “The President Without a Country”  he cites Obama  saying

“We’re no longer a Christian nation.” – President Barack Obama, June 2007

“America has been arrogant.” – President Barack Obama

“After 9/11, America didn’t always live up to her ideals.”

President Barack Obama

“You might say that America is a Muslim nation.”

President Barack Obama, Egypt 2009

He goes on to state, “America is emphatically a Christian nation, and has been from its inception! Seventy percent of her citizens identify themselves as Christian. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were framed, written and ratified by Christians. It’s because this was, and is, a nation built on and guided by Judeo-Christian biblical principles that you, sir, have had the inestimable privilege of being elected her president.”

Ok  there are a lot of other things in his article that are pretty far reaching,  Basically he is jumping on the president bashing wagon like any red blooded conservative christian should do!  The funny thing  is that every single one of Obama’s quotes are actually true!

  • “America is no longer a christian nation” I will not beat this dead horse any longer… go back and read some of my other articles..
  • “America has been arrogant”  Of course we have! all you have to do is look at our materialistic gimme gimme attitudes, we take what we want and think we never have to pay for it… the whole country is fighting a recession because we are were so busy passing money around hoping we didn’t end up with the hot potato.
  • “After 9/11, America didn’t always live up to her ideals.”  Wow did he hit the nail on the head,  we decided the ends justified the means… and whether it was right or wrong we ignored the principals that the country was founded upon… I call that “not living up to your ideals”
  • “You might say that America is a Muslim nation.” more accurately Obama stated “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.” I have to admit this one is a technicality, And based on the context of what the president was trying to say he is actually right. America is one of the largest countries in the world period. If there is any notable percentage of Muslims in America then we actually are “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world”  I think the point here was finding common ground to begin some dialog with other (primarily muslim) countries.

What is my point is all of this… well really I just think conservatives are going a long way out of their way to discredit Obama…and it looks stupid if you ask me.

Whats probably the worst of all of this… is that the majority of so called “Christian Conservatives” have allowed the election of Barak Obama to expose the truth about “Conservative Christianity”   that it is just another political machine… “Conservative Christians” no longer follow and serve Jesus Christ, They throw stones, and speak evil of dignitaries, count the sins of others, and you can bet they will have their materialistic 60 inch flatscreen tuned to FOX NEWS while widows and orphans are neglected just outside their door,  and they pay the pastor of their church to handle “Prison Ministry”

Look I am no “lover of Obama” by any stretch of the imagination.  But there is no doubt in my mind that all of this political garbage that is being thrown around by “Conservative Christians” is complete and utter propaganda, and it is absolutely wrong.  I have no problem discussing facts, but distorting the facts so that they fit your already warped perspectives so that you can promote an agenda that JESUS CHRIST never condoned is wrong! I am so tired of people running around regurgitating un-researched propaganda by political pundits  like Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh.  These guys make their living off of making a mountain out of a molehill!… you are just pouring the money into their pockets… of course they will tell you what you want to hear!  They will never fail to introduce you to a new person you can obsess over and get all worked up about and make you so angry you could bust a blood vessel but all you will ever really do is get together with all your “like  minded” buddies and talk about how “this country is going to hell in a handbasket”

I am done with this…

The Mockery of Self-Righteousness

// February 14th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // My God, My Thoughts

I find it very amusing that so many Christians find themselves in a quandary about the state of our nation. Many are angry and wail and moan about the end times… and how Barack Obama will be the downfall of our nation. They quickly jump on the bandwagon of extreme republicans, self-righteously spreading their propaganda and gloom and doom forecasting!

To this point I have maintained a “wait and see” attitude because honestly all the “running around in circles, shouting and waving my arms about how things are going to be horrible” really does no good, it is tireing, and others get annoyed quickly…. Unless you meet up with other RAICSAW(Running Around In Circles Shouting And Waving) groupies then you can all do it together and not annoy each other.

What I have observed is that the current administration seems to be really delivering on the subject of accountability, living within your means, making sacrifices, and so on. Governing a decadent nation is a difficult task so I tend to give the guy a little leeway on decisions that affect everyone in the entire country.

What I have observed is that America is learning the hard way that capitolism can be just as evil as any other type of economic model, all it takes is greed.

What I have observed is that the current president has actually delivered pretty quickly on his campaign promises, he is giving visibility to how the government spends money. all things that we didn’t have before.

For the record I am far more dissapointed in the wailing and protesting political christians around me than I am with Barak Obama.
