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.

[Jeffrey]

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.

[DIaneJ]

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,

Barack Obama has the ability to restore America's world reputation which was distroyed by Bush and friends. As for internal American problems, in my opinion Roman Catholism and some Southern Refromed Churches present a greater headache for the America people than Islam which in my opinion is a gentle religion compared to the latter. two. I have read the Quran and I'm a member of a Reformed Protestant. Church.

9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven'. In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

11:31 His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.

[Ozwalt]

Wow. Where to begin?

First, the artwork is obviously tongue-in-cheek. Get a sense of humor.

Second, Bush Jr. and Clinton and Carter were all governors before becoming president, so they were presumably "experienced" at the executive level. How'd they do in your opinion. I don't mention Reagan, simply because he also has his cult following, doesn't he? And what kind of executive experience does McCain have? He's done the exact same job for up-teen years. Big deal.

Re: Obama's former church, are you basing your opinion that it's been "promoting racism" for 20 years on the two 10-second sound clips that were replayed on Fox Noise a few thousand times? Both sound bites were taken out of context to a serious degree. How do I know this? I downloaded and listened to both sermons in their entirety. I figured I should at least know the truth before passing judgement. Anyone remember what Jesus said about passing judgement? Did anyone else here actually listen to Rev. Wright's sermons before defining him as a racist? Isn't that just a bit racist in and of itself?

Re: Hamas, of course our enemies would prefer we have a leader who is willing to talk over one who prefers military force. Duh.

Re: not respecting others' religious beliefs, didn't you in the previous breath label his church racist? Isn't your "proof" for this statement derived from another right-slanted website? How can we take you seriously?

Re: the anti-christ, shouldn't everyone who professes Christianity be reading their Bible? If so, wouldn't they know that the pop-culture idea of the anti-christ is not Biblical? The reference appears in 1 John and 2 John and refers to ANYONE who professes someone other than Jesus as the Christ. In Revelation, the character that most think of as the anti-christ is actually described as a lamb with horns that comes out of the ground to serve the greater beast. So, where does this image of the "young, handsome, charasmatic man of middle-eastern decent" come from? The Omen?

Why vote for McCain? Is it because he's offering healthcare for all, a solid GI Bill, alternative energy plans that actually make sense, a tax code that LOWERS taxes for people earning under a quarter million dollars, rebuilding the middle class by eliminating tax cuts for businesses that move jobs overseas, actually TALKING to other nations (rather than coercing with threats), and so on, and so on? Oh, yeah. That's Obama.

Last thought. Anyone who continues to say "Barack Husein Obama" is peddling fear and racism, simply by using his middle name like that. I can hear you now. "It IS his name, after all", you say. Wow. Great point. :-P Any idea what McCain's middle name is? Why aren't you using that, too.

Everyone needs to study what each candidate actually STANDS for -- REALLY TRULY. Is John McCain REALLY pro-life (for example)? Go to God and pray for his guidance in making an educated and wise decision. There are also a ton of non-partisan websites out there to help you learn the facts. GlassBooth.org, TruthWatch.org, etc. Vote for whoever you want, but don't vote stupidly, and do't listen to these propaganda mongers.

[carlos]

Ozwalt, I think there's one BIG reason to vote against Obama: human life.

1. In 2002, as an Illinois State Senator, he voted against the Illinois Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which would have made it a requirement to provide medical treatment to infants born "accidentally" during an abortion. In short, he voted for infanticide.

2. In July 2007, Obama told a NARAL crowd that the "first thing" he'd do as president would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act. This law would overturn state-level restrictions on abortion.

I don't care about healthcare, taxes, foreign relations, or what candidates' middle names are. I care about defending unborn, innocent human life. Obama's actions and words have made my choice for me.

[ThankGod]

You religious people seem to forget things, like 'Love thy Neighbor as thy Self', 'Thou shalt not Lie...' You 'Christians' make Jesus sick. Keep on hating and go to hell when your judgment day comes!

Dear ThankGod : You are a prime example on how liberal Catholics (if you are Roman Catholic) or liberals are in general. The only time you sure the Holy Name of Jesus is to slander or use to conform to your sinful distortion of the world of God and the One True Faith. Please exit stage left.

[Kathy from Kansas]

Ozwalt, you represent so many people who say we should vote for Obama because of healthcare, sustainable energy, diplomatic relations, veterans benefits, taxing the rich, stopping job outsourcing, etc., etc. All these are EXTREMELY complicated issues in which simple-sounding "solutions" have often led to unforeseen disastrous consequences. For example: ethanol, long promoted as environmentally beneficial, actually CONSUMES more energy than it yields! You have to factor in all the fossil fuel used in fertilizer production, irrigation, tractors and combines, transportation, processing, distribution, etc. Additionally, corn is one of the most demanding crops in terms of water, fertilizer and pesticide requirements. Plus, increasing the number of acres planted to corn for ethanol, as Obama and others are promoting, will cause increased soil erosion. Ethanol, which sounded so good in the beginning, turns out to be an energy-guzzling, environmental disaster.

My point is that most economic issues, including energy, poverty and healthcare, are extremely complex, and people of good will may reasonably disagree on how best to deal with them.

Other issues, however, are not complicated at all. For example, do we have the right to murder an innocent person who has no way of defending herself? This is not a complex matter at all. If you think this is "complex," something is wrong with you. Yet Obama said, clearly and repeatedly, that babies born alive after abortion attempts should be left to die of neglect.

Here's the key question: IF OBAMA IS EITHER SO EVIL OR SO STUPID THAT HE CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY KILLING A BORN, LIVING BABY IS EVIL--WHICH SHOULD BE A NO-BRAINER--THEN WHY SHOULD WE TRUST HIS JUDGMENT ON OTHER MATTERS THAT ARE FAR MORE COMPLEX?

[lia,]

you people pretend like your prolife... yet when it comes to giving financial support to the poor you tell us "it's not your responibility."
jesus was a liberal. gw bush and all his followers can burn in hell. you people are sick if you think jesus agrees with the religous right.
your a joke to the rest of the world and need to formally educated.
you can all burn in hell.

[Catholic]

Are you people crazy? The statements I've read here actually reflect more of you and your thoughts and beliefs than that of Obama or his supporters. As a catholic, well ex catholic, like the ones you hate, it's quite shameful. This just reaffirms my belief in the hypocrisy of religions and so called Christians. How do you attack someone in such a way because you don't share they philosophy or credence. This is just madness. It's like we're going backwards....People go reread the good book.

[Jeffrey]

McCain's middle name is Sidney. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[Whatever]

Yep, us democrats are all evil.

Oh, wait, we want to lower the taxes of everyone making less than 250k, fix our broken health care, clean up the environment, improve education, become energy independent, and otherwise help the common man. That doesn't sound like a very evil agenda, now, does it.

It's really, really, really disturbing to me that your intense focus on the abortion issue has so blinded you to all of the other issues in which republicans do not have your best interest in mind.

Further, the abortion issue is not something that can be corrected by ANY president, and I'm not sure why you guys don't understand that. This was a decision of the SUPREME COURT, which CANNOT be overturned.

Laughing all the way to the election booth,

[Whatever]

Oh, one other thing-

If you republicans love life so much, why are you pro-death-penalty and pro-war?

The war in Iraq alone has killed 80,000 innocent civilians, and the idiot currently residing in the white house has killed more people as governor of texas than I care to count. McCain is a military "hero"--read trained killer. How many people did McCain kill on his tour of duty? How much blood is on the hands of your so-called heroes?

Wake the hell up.

-M

Dear Whatever,

your name say it all! You are foolish as you are wrong. If you can not believe in the One True Faith why are you here? You show your true colors as a liberal abortion loving whatever!
