Unmasking a heretic

With the airwaves abuzz regarding Barack Hussein Obama II and his religious affiliation, one can only wonder why. Barack Hussein Obama II is an atheist at best, a heretic, at worst.

Why his Christian beliefs are even in question when he hasn't done anything to counter Americans’ disbelief in his faith or lack thereof, is baffling. As Christians we’re to talk the talk and then walk the walk. Where is evidence that Obama has done either of these? Even when men whom I consider Christian, such as Hugh Hewitt, defend Obama and his supposed beliefs, I can only respectfully disagree and point out where and why they are wrong.

Christianity is other-centered. I think we can all agree, on both sides of the fence, that Obama and his policies are totally the opposite of that philosophy. While one who aspires to be in the public eye must have a certain amount of hubris to succeed, never before has the United States had such a narcissistic, prideful individual as President Obama in the White House. These are certainly not the attributes that Jesus Christ espoused when He walked on the earth - just the opposite, in fact.

I know it is in vogue these days for politician to think they can thank God for their victory on election night and then abandon His commandments the next morning, in essence checking his or her beliefs at the door, all because His way of life has suddenly become inconvenient. This is foolhardy.

But we Christians are to fault. For some reason we give politicians, and only them, a pass at the workplace. We have allowed them to buffalo us into believing that God makes an exemption for them to throw His Word out the window just because of their occupation. In their distorted way of thinking, these individuals have collectively decided that they are smarter than God, and believe his or her judgment is better for the people than the God who created them. However, nowhere in the Bible does it state that politicians do not have to walk the Christian walk once they are elected to office.  

This point isn't just aimed at Obama, but to all politicians who say they are Christians, but who have put their personal beliefs ahead of God’s will thinking the “createds’” will is as good for the people, as that of the Creator’s… but what I want to know is who told them to put their will ahead of God’s? No, it’s pride that has gotten in the way of his or hers faith, if they ever had any.

I started formulating these thoughts on the subject when I heard former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, who professes to be a Catholic, say that that was exactly what he did when he was elected to that office. Again, why? It certainly wasn't discernment from God. Instead, what he should have done the minute he was elected was to get down on his knees and ask God for His wisdom and knowledge and what His purpose is now for his life. I certainly can’t speak for God; however, in His word He reveals that He never would have told Cuomo to abandon his Catholic beliefs to pander to the will of man. The Bible clearly states that the only reason he governor is because God has allowed him to be so and only for that season; therefore he should only do the will of God and not man’s.

For politicians to think they are going to be immune from God’s judgment after they die is hogwash. In Romans 14:11, Christ says that all men will bow down to the Lord and be held accountable for their deeds while on earth. When God asks these men and women to explain their actions and why they've abandoned His word, I’m guessing there will be a lot of “ya gotta be kidding me” in His response.

Again, while I certainly can't speak for God, I would imagine He’s going to be incredulous and will question…why didn’t you just ask for wisdom…you have not because you ask not…you are such a brood of vipers, I put you there to protect the weakest amongst you, yet you did the opposite of what I desire. I put you there to free my people so they could worship Me, not make them dependent on you with all your government programs which enslave them. Did you forget about my directive that ‘those who don't work shouldn't eat?’ You've made them slaves to you and have taken away any self-respect they may have by giving them everything, for nothing.’  

More proof that Obama and other likeminded politicians like him are heretics: Can a person who truly says he or she is a Christian, then vote to enact legislation to allow the most barbaric form of abortion - partial birth abortion - as Obama did when he was a state senator in Illinois? And then his first act as president was to strike President's Bush ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information, known as the “Mexico City Policy.” If ever there were a litmus test for a Christian politician, it's should be his or her stance on abortion. 

Obama, being a nonbeliever, also explains how he could sit in Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church and listen to his hateful sermons all those years. After hearing his first such sermon, I would have confronted the reverend and told him about my misgivings of his talk. A second and I would have found a new church home. But, as was brought up during the election, Obama either believed in what Wright was saying and then threw him under the bus when he became a liability to his campaign, which again is another example of non-Christian belief, or that he only attended the church for street cred, since those on the left said it was because he wasn’t black enough, or because no one in the hood thought he was sincere but was just another disingenuous politician, go figure.

Lastly, as Christians, we should speak kindly to one another, which sets examples to others that we are who we say we are in Christ. We are instructed to keep our tongues from speaking evil and our lips from telling lies! Do I need to bring up Obamacare, the stimulus bills, and the Wall Street and GM bailouts, all which were pushed through Congress on lies, not to mention the whopper that his administration would be the most transparent, ever, oh please.  

Obama being a nonbeliever wouldn’t be such a bad thing if only he lead by the golden rule, which many of my friends, who also aren’t believer, live by. But his saying he is a Christian, and then doing just the opposite of what Christ says, is what’s truly disreputable.

There you have it. Either Barack Hussein Obama II is an atheist at best which would explain a lot of what he’s done, or a heretic, a professed believer who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church, at worst. You decide.

How dare you

How dare you Congress, even think about imposing a $.10 a gallon tax on gas. You, mostly on the left, although there are plenty of rino's out there also whining about conserving and how great the higher price of gasoline is since it will deter motorists from driving...guess what, you simpleminded sanctimonious blowhards, it worked. And now your facing a shortage of federal funds for your pet pig's, aka, pork projects. Well guess what, do like the rest of us Americans, you know 'we the people' you were sent to Washington to represent, and suck it up.

And suck it up you will do or, as God as my witness, I along with every other blogger and every talk show host this side of right, will be calling for your heads this general election. After all you've created this problem. First with, see above, your pet piggy projects which are nothing but childish, opaque efforts on your part to secure your reelection by bringing home projects to your state that are nothing but a waste of money...think of the bridge to nowhere or how about a hippie museum, courtesy of Hillary...more on her in later blogs...but one little comment before I let go of her pantsuit-leg. One would think she wouldn't want to relieve the 60's, after all that was when she met 'The Big Creep,' thus the beginning of her downfall.

So, as I fume over my keyboard, I wonder, has anyone in Washington ever heard of 'pay as you go'. I thought not...so by promising money you don't have but still counting the chickens (my money) before they're hatched (collected) you violate every rule of decency known to man.

The word decency is a powerful word and one I'm afraid that isn't used often in DC. But it is in the heartland, and the southland, and the east and west-lands, although with the Nancy Pelosi's, and the Chuck Schumer’s (wouldn't pairing those two in a movie be great; I can imagine the title, 'Chucky and his Bride') they're still up for grabs.  Yet even the decent folks of California and New York, yes even they, with their gas prices the highest in the land have to be getting fed up with the Bull Snooker that the D.C. Snookers are trying to pull over our eyes.

A second reason you politicians best be looking over your shoulder this election year, and not raise the gas tax is that we Americans are tired of your inability to get anything done. All you do is fight and raise taxes and that just ain't cutting it no more. Had anyone, and not just rinos, not been frozen in some form of  debilitating lock jaw, afraid to speak up and make a tough decision (can't wait until Social Security becomes insolvent) and push forward legislation to open ANWAR and drilling off the coasts, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Yes, I know it's a dumb-o-crats congress, however just as there is action now, there would have been then had someone had the cahoonies to stand up for America and Americans.  I say to Mitch McConnell and all you other spineless republicans who now want to exploit the gas shortage into a shameless campaign ploy to defeat the dumb-o-crats this November; how dare you pat yourself on the back and take credit  for finally doing something  that you should have done long ago. This problem didn't just start at the beginning of the summer. Where were you when a gallon of gas started skyrocketing last year?   

Finally, I heard some mindless dumb-o-crats pundit, actually try to justify the tax increase. SHE rationalized; (no comment about a woman actually trying to be rational) stated that now that the price is coming down, Americans can afford the tax increase...the arrogance, the aplomb of this woman and the dumb-o-crats is astounding. The price of a barrel of oil is so overinflated it was inevitable that the bubble was going to burst and the price of a gallon of gas was going to stabilize. But even if it goes down to $3.50 a gallon, that's still a dollar more than this time last year, which really won't help the average American family all that much.

We Americans deserve better than all the bickering and backstabbing on the hill, better than being cast as second rate citizens of the world, which this bickering has caused us to be; And since misery loves company, we're a billion times better than being lectured to by third world third rate potentates that want to drag us down to there level. 

So hopefully this post will make the light of day, and when it does, you D.C. Bull Snookers best be thinking about your actions, or lack of them. And just so you can't say you haven't been warned, remember the words that Thomas Jefferson said: 'Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government.' 

To me that day is long overdue; however, November is just around the corner.
