Obamanation - The Cult Of Barack Hussein Obama

It's nice to see that Barack Obama's supporters have reasonable expectations, rooted in a firm grasp of his personal and political background; as evidenced by the devotional artwork above and the images found here: Reach Out and Touch Faith

Note: I'm pretty sure NRO got their title idea from this song: Depeche Mode - "Personal Jesus"

More evidence of the disturbing religious fervor many of Obama's supporters have for him, despite (or perhaps, because of) his consistent pro-abortion record, can be seen in these videos produced by will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas: "Yes We Can" and "We Are The Ones"

This video parodies the fantasies of Obama supporters: Video: “Obamatopia” [Warning: The Lord's name is taken in vain once, but it's done to illustrate how Obama's supporters view him.]

As I've said before, the Obama's followers have a view of him that is essentially consistent with the song below, which should be his campaign theme song:

Obama's supporters don't care that he doesn't have the experience necessary to be President of the United States. They don't care that he's never been elected to an executive office (like state governor). They don't care that Obama has been connected, for over 20 years, to a church that promotes racism, or that he's friends with murdering terrorists. They don't care that his wife constantly complains about America. They don't care that Obama has been endorsed by Hamas. They don't care that Obama doesn't respect the religious beliefs of Christians who don't share his views.

To quote Rush Limbaugh: "Obama has become, to a lot of people, an idea of what they want him to be. So they project their perceptions onto him, and that's exactly what he wants." (From: Obama is Damaged Goods, but Radical Hillary Can't Close the Deal)

Barack Obama, ladies and gentlemen, is a blank canvas upon which anybody can project their fantasies, or their desires. You look at Democrats in the audience, and they're swooning. He's saying nothing. He's saying nothing better than anybody in my lifetime ever has. The reason he says nothing so well is because everybody thinks that he's saying what they want. So they're able to project onto Obama their fantasies. If they believe in allowing somebody to marry a dog, they think Obama will support it. Therefore, I would like today to announce a tentative decision, I'm stilling thinking about it, to endorse Barack Obama, since everybody is asking who am I going to endorse, and here's why. Barack Obama is pro-life. Barack Obama is a Constitutionalist. Barack Obama believes in limited government. Barack Obama is in favor of health care savings plans. Barack Obama loves free markets and wants to protect them. Barack Obama is strong on national defense. Barack Obama is a tax cutter extraordinaire. Barack Obama makes my leg tingle when I hear him speak. Barack Obama will end the designated hitter rule. Barack Obama will establish a college football playoff once and for all so we will genuinely have a champion. Barack Obama will get to the bottom of Spygate. Barack Obama will offer free beer Fridays. Whatever you want Obama to be, folks, he's a blank slate, he's an empty canvas, and this is the nature of his appeal. Whatever people fantasize about, whatever they want, they are confident Obama supports it, too.

Rush Limbaugh: Let's Tweak The Media: Obama to Campaign in 57 Islamic States

RUSH: Hey, folks, you want to tweak the Drive-By Media with me right now? Want to participate in tweaking the Drive-By Media? You are aware, probably, that Barack Obama lost his bearings recently and said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states. You heard this? And everybody chalked it up to, "Well, he's tired." You know, this is a Dan Quayle moment. I mean, Dan Quayle goes out there and misspells potato, and we still get jokes about it. Barack Obama says he's gonna go out and campaign in 57 states, he was just tired, you know, it's been such a long campaign, he's been so many places, he probably thinks there are 57 states. Well, I have here a printout from a website called the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And here is how the second paragraph of an article on that website begins. "Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states presented a resolution to the United Nations commission on human rights called combating --" yes, H.R., get ready for the phone calls up there.

We're participating here in a tweak of the media. Obama said he's going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states. "Every year from 1999 to 2005, the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states," this is from the International Humanist and Ethical Union. And the title of the piece here is, "How the Islamic states dominate the UN human rights council," and there are 57 of them. So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip, ladies and gentlemen? Obama's 57 states, not just a simple gaffe. He might have been thinking of the 57 Islamic states when he said he was going to campaign in all 57 states. (laughing) Can't wait 'til the Drive-Bys hear about this.

Any thoughts?

I don't think he is, and I don't even know what the Church teaches about the antichrist, but don't you ever think that Obama certainly shares the attributes of the type of person that could become the antichrist?

Really, I'm not an "end times" type, but it's kinda strange.

[walter]

I'm (no longer) the "end times" type either, I tend to feel its shows an unhealthy fascination with death and destruction found among some of our serprated brethren, but i have thought for a few months now the same things you are about Obama. Of course, we are all capable of being anti-Christs when we wound Christ and fail to "take up our Cross and follow him". I personally don't think the Anti-Christ is or will be some one person.

[Catholic_Man]

Jeffrey, you have a point in which I totally agree. The Anti-Christ is a mindset of a group of people and not necessarily one particular person. Without throwing around alot of bible quotes, the bible says something about those who deny that Jesus came in the flesh is the Anti-Christ. Plain and simple: it means 'Against or Opposed to Christ'. From that point of view, we can safely say that Secularism is the 'Anti-Christ'; so-called 'Pro-Choice' abortionists are the 'Anti-Christ'.

Even some of the so-called 'Catholic' politicians are the 'Anti-Christ' because they teach things directly opposed to Christ and the church he established. My opinion is that we have a responsibility to vote out these bumbling fools who disgrace Catholicism by propaning the Eucharist when they receive it in open-retaliation against what the church teaches. Granted not everybody has the capacity to know EVERYTHING the church teaches on EVERY SINGLE issue, BUT what makes it disgraceful is because it is a violation against the 10 commandments: they violate the 1st commandment by putting their teaching above God's, they violate the 5th commandment by condoing the killing of innocent babies, they violate the 4th commandment by bringing dishonor to parenthood in the process. These are mortal sins, and they act as though they are exempt from the Church's teachings.

'Danger Will Robinson, Danger!'

[Catholic_Man]

The point I intended to add to my previous comment is this. Barrack Sadam Husein Obama bin Laden (I know that's not really his full name, but I am making a point) is even worse in that he does not show ANY hints of Christian notion in his voting records. His views do not even line up with the natural law, regardless of religion. Therefore, he and the other politicians who condone abortions ARE terrorist. We are rightfully concerned about terrorism from afar, but yet we have condoned terrorism in our own country when we say (as a country) that it is OKAY to kill a baby with a beating heart.

Fr. Phleger is a disgrace to the church. Please write the Pope and let your voice be heard. This guy has no right to go around saying anti-white things. He is coming from Hate not Love and I pray for him.

I see that all 3 people who read your blog agree with you. That's great! Now you should all arrange to meet & take a long walk off a short pier.
How can you call yourself Catholic while spewing this racist, written diarrhea onto the web? Your agruments are based on fantasy & you quote the most blatant racist of our time "Limbaugh"! Hah! You deserve eachother. Have you ever thought of becoming evangelical? You'd have alot of good company with right wing nut cases holding there bible's in one hand and there kool-aid in the other.

[Thomistic]

Gabriel,

1) "There" is used to denote location, as in "here and there" or "there is a place of eternal torment called hell, which is reserved for people who are knowingly guilty of freely committing objectively serious sin and who die without sincere repentance". "Their" is used to denote possession, as in "holding their Bibles".

2) The possessive form "Bible's" would refer to something possessed by the Holy Bible, such as "the Bible's Old and New Testament" or "the Bible's literary genres". The plural form, Bibles, denotes more than one Bible, as in "holding their Bibles".

3) If you are going to try to present yourself as being more enlightened than someone you're criticizing, don't make simple grammatical errors like that. It makes you look ignorant and you won't be taken seriously.

4) It's common for Obama supporters to play the race card and imply that any criticism of Obama is rooted in racial prejudice. In order to demonstrate that such allegations are more than baseless rhetoric designed to intimidate others who disagree with you and Senator Obama into silence, you need to back up your allegations with factual evidence if you want to be taken seriously.

5) If you want to lecture people on how to be a good Christian, which is an admirable endeavor, you should do so with the same charity you appear to expect from those you seek to lecture. Telling people to "take a long walk off a short pier" and calling them names like "racist" and stereotyping all Evangelical Christians as "right wing nut cases" who hold their bibles in one hand and their Kool-Aid in the other isn't Christian or charitable, and it will make you look like a hypocrite who does the very things he or she claims to despise.

6) Abortion is not pleasing to God. It is a serious sin, and if done with sufficient reflection and full consent, merits eternal damnation unless such a person repents their sin with sincere contrition. Candidates who support legal, elective abortion are not good Christians, because they essentially enable the commission of a serious sin that results in the deliberate extermination of an innocent, developing human life. Christians who support pro-abortion candidates also enable serious sin and share in the responsibility for the death of countless unborn babies. Lectures denigrating Christians for not supporting pro-abortion candidates and calling those Christians poor Christians for that reason aren't very compelling.

7) Lectures from non-Christians about how to be a good Christian aren't very compelling.

8) Rush Limbaugh isn't a racist. Again, support your allegations with factual evidence.

9) When you make the sorts of mistakes you've made in presenting your case for supporting Senator Obama, you make a poor defense of his cause and unwittingly create the impression that ignorant people support Senator Obama.

10) You have bad manners.

Here's an example of an argument based on factual evidence:

Your invective laden comment was rife with simple grammatical errors, sorely lacking in terms of evidentiary support, and riddled with logical fallacies. There was no logical basis presented for supporting your comments within the body of your commentary, only non sequitor (a logical fallacy), dogmatic assertions about other people without supporting evidence. These assertions were nothing more than an ad hominem attack (another logical fallacy) aimed at poisoning the well (another logical fallacy).

Conclusion: Your simple grammatical errors and deeply flawed logic provide excellent reasons for believing that you are either unintelligent, poorly educated, or both.

Pax,

Thomistic
