Is Obama a Patriotic Christian?

Is Obama a Patriotic Christian?


I think the way you answer that question, which is really a combination of two questions, depends entirely on how you define a patriot and a Christian.

Obviously those who believe that even the lies that Obama has told about Benghazi, the IRS targeting of conservatives and ObamaCare, were well-intentioned will defend his patriotism, just as those who take him at his word accept his claims to being a Christian.

On the other hand, those of us who have not had our brains washed, rinsed and blow-dried, do not accept that which is blatantly false. How can someone who has spoken incessantly about America’s sins, apologizing for our history and insulting our allies – going so far as to exile the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office – be regarded as a patriot?

Does a true patriot treat Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, one of the world’s most distinguished leaders, as if he were one of those crazies who periodically scales the Pennsylvania Avenue fence and tries to crash the White House, while constantly rolling out the red carpet for the likes of Al Sharpton?

One can certainly identify Obama as a socialist. After all, he has insisted that the major failings of the Constitution and the Civil Rights movement were that they didn’t deal with the redistribution of wealth. And God knows he has done everything in his power to correct that historical oversight by taking from the rich and the middle class and giving to the poor, including illegal aliens who have no business even being in America. Theirs are the boots that should never be on the ground; at least not in Texas, Arizona, California or New Mexico.

As for the claims that Obama is a Christian, that strikes me as being even more far-fetched. For openers, he doesn’t attend church, and neither do his wife and kids. When he deigns to attend the annual Prayer Breakfast, he winds up comparing Christian Crusaders of the 12th century to terrorists beheading and burning Christians today. He mentions Christian slave owners, but never refers to the Christian ministers who led the abolitionists or the legion of Christian soldiers who died trying to end slavery, whatever Lincoln’s own motives may have been.

What’s more, he chooses to ignore the fact that the Crusades were in retaliation to Islamic aggression. Instead, he lies about the major role that Muslims played in the creation of the United States. Was he, perchance, referring to the Barbary pirates? I suppose you could give those particular Muslims credit for the initial glorification of the U.S. Marines Corps, a gallant group Thomas Jefferson sent forth to wage war against the thieving Arab bastards.

Obama has even lied about the Muslims playing a role in NASA’s space exploration program. The only thing I could come up with is that they provide motivation for Christians and Jews to seek life on other planets as a way to get as far away from these barbaric freaks as is humanly possible.

Even in his personal history, Obama’s only connection to Christianity was as a member of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s racist congregation. This was a church in which sermons were devoted to damning white devils, America, Jews and Israel. This was a church in which Rev. Wright celebrated 9/11, describing it as a case of “chickens coming home to roost,” meaning that America had brought this tragedy down upon itself by her evil ways.

Because it was obvious to me even before he threw his hat in the ring in 2008 that Obama had a Senate voting record that was to the left of Ted Kennedy’s and that, as a member of the Illinois state legislature, had voted to allow doctors who botched abortions to kill the little survivors, I knew he would be a disaster of historical proportions if elected to the White House. It was for that reason that I hoped, as much as I despised her, that Hillary Clinton would defeat him in the primaries.

Unfortunately, millions of blacks trooped out to vote for one of their own, even though, considering that his mother was white and his biological father was an Arab, he was about as black as I am. But, luckily for him, he looked black, which explained why millions of white voters who would normally never have even considered voting for such an unqualified lout, felt compelled to prove they weren’t racists by voting for the guy who could at least pass for black.

And in doing so, they exposed their own racism by ignoring Martin Luther King’s injunction to judge a man by his character and not by the color of his skin.
