St. Obama on the Mount: separation of Church and Reality
by C. Edmund Wright
As if it wasn’t bad enough that liberals are always going around finding stuff in the Constitution that isn’t there….say, the right to privacy…the left’s new golden boy, Saint Obama, is now “rightly dividing the Word” (some John Hagee lingo for you). Er, perhaps, wrongly dividing the word is more accurate.
For the uninitiated, that means interpreting and discussing Scripture, as in the Bible. Now it’s always a hoot when the party of the ACLU starts banging away from the Bible, as they prove the axiom that nothing is more dangerous than a little information…as in incomplete information. You just know it's only a matter of time before the liberals will surely take a scriptural nugget out of context and end up stepping deepeth into the pit of ignorance.
Don’t believe it? Discuss with them one time the passage about how “ye shall know them by their fruits” and then duck. Just don’t do it in San Francisco.
But back to B. Hussein Obama…you know, one of the very first names that comes to mind along with those of Billy Graham and Mother Teresa...when talking Bible. Obama, in a rambling, contradictory and nearly incoherent speech (even for those who did not faint…a vague reference to Isaiah 40:31) given in Ohio over the weekend said repeatedly that he was “a devout Christian” and that he “prays to Jesus every night.”
Of course, these were details his website did not feature last week when it highlighted his views of support for the LGBT community. For the unitiated (and I certainly qualify here) this means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community. Seems to me they could have sold a few consenents there, but what’s a little redundency, not to mention casual fisting, among friends?
But I digress. On the Obama site just a few days ago, Saint Hussein promised support for “equality in America” for the LGBT community. Equal to what is what I’d like to know. (on second thought…never mind). In Obama’s very new testament, his position letter was fairly explicit in supporting same sex unions as the equivalent of marriage…morally and legally.
In a bit of irony that I hate not to take credit for (because HE himself used these words) he promised “as President….to use the bully PULPIT to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws.” Well Amen and pass the plate! You preach it broh. Let’s beat the methodists to the cafeteria.
But yesterday at Hocking College, he had traded in the bully pulpit for a more traditional one….and was scrambling around trying to shoehorn his very secular same gender and transgender support letter into the Holy Bible. Much like St. Francis the Sissy I guess.
To his credit, he did not totally back away from his left wing support letter. To his shame, he passed it off as scriptural to a crowd he knew would not know any better. That is, Democrat primary voters. Now how does that saying go again...ye shall know them by their fruits?
“It is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state” claimed His Obamaness, adding that “if people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount.” And Hussein, not familiar with the commandment that...when in a hole thou shalt stoppeth digging... added that the Sermon on the Mount “is more central (for my faith) than an obscure passage in Romans.”
Indeed, we all know that the Apostle Paul is widely known as “the obscure Apostle” and that Romans is a “minor epistle.” (for those in the transgender society, this is not a reference to a physical shortcoming.)
And just where he got the inspiration for same sex unions, gay, lesbian and transgender lifestyles from the Sermon on the Mount is beyond me. In my Bible, it appears to be beyond Jesus and Matthew also. But on a more positive note, this open minded view could be proof positive B. Hussein Obama is NOT a Muslim. Try finding “tolerance” in a Koran’s concordance. (if you have to ask…).
But on and on Saint Obama continued to confuse. He stated that “abortion is always a tragic and painfull issue” as he of course indicated that it should “always be kept legal.” Indeed, we need all the legal pain and tragedy we can get.
(And while we’re at it, why not the same standard for water boarding? It’s not tragic OR painful. OK, a little scary…but we ARE talking about terrorists, not fetuses).
He further postulated that abortion is an issue to be decided by “women…their pastors, doctors and family” as opposed to “some bureaucrat in Washington.” This of course begs the question; is this the ONLY decision Barack Obama does NOT want to be made by bureaucrats in Washington?
And on it went, the high and mighty vapid vapor of Obama mixing in a little misquoted scripture and liberal dogma…to an adoring crowd incapable of picking out Washington DC from Washington state. Perhaps I should point Mr. BHO to part of that Sermon on the Mount thing he so casually paraphrased. The part about what comes to those who “teach others to do the same (break even the least of these commandments).” You know, from that obscure Jesus and tranlated by even more obscure Matthew.
Hey don’t blame me. I wasn’t the one who dragged religion into this. If it’s tough to swallow, take solace that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine….and the good wine at that. Amen. And pass the plate.
