ON THE ROCKS, HOLD THE FRUIT

“Though I've belted you and flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!”

Choosing between Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama as to which should be the democratic nominee for president is tantamount to having the choice of either lemon juice or lime juice squeezed into my eyes; neither is acceptable. In a news article Barack Hussein Obama may have taken huge strides in proving Hillary to be the lesser of the two citric acids.

A June 23rd 2007 article from Breitbartnews.com titled “Obama Says Some Have `hijacked' Faith” says;

“Sen. Barack Obama told a church convention Saturday that some right- wing evangelical leaders have exploited and politicized religious beliefs in an effort to sow division.”

The good senator from Illinois perceives the “religious right” to be a threat. He goes on to say;

"Part of it's because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who've been all too eager to exploit what divides us,"

Mr. Obama doesn’t perceive what he is saying as divisive even when he continues on to say;

"There was even a time when the Christian Coalition determined that its number one legislative priority was tax cuts for the rich,"……. "I don't know what Bible they're reading, but it doesn't jibe with my version."

He wants to use the old tactic of class warfare to coalesce the “have-nots” against the “haves” and rally them as he portrays himself to be a modern day Robin Hood. And who is he using as his Sheriff of Nottingham? The Religious Right. He has determined that the greatest religious threat to America is the call for “tax cuts for the rich” from the religious right. Perhaps the far left does see it that way, but can we afford to have a president who does?

Let’s put a few things in perspective;

1). “Mr. Obama was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia……. Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia”.-insightmag.com

2). “most of these schools are financed by the Saudi Arabian government and they teach a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims.” –insightmag.com

3). Barrack Hussien Obama claims in his book “The Audacity of Hope” that "I was not raised in a religious household”, clearly a lie.

4). “When Fox Television claimed in January that he had attended a “madrassa,” his office said: “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim and is a committed Christian who attends church in Chicago.” –commondreams.org

5). “Associated Press has revealed that Senator Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States, attended a Catholic school in Indonesia registered as a Muslim” –bsimmons.wordpress.com

Barrack Hussien Obama can’t seem to get a grasp on his religion, but in 1988, when he first attended Harvard and began his political career, he started his image makeover by joining the United Church of Christ, a liberal, politically correct church of 1.2 million members;

“In 1972, the church was the first to ordain an openly gay man. Two years ago, the church endorsed same-sex marriage, the largest Christian denomination to do so” –breitbart.com

I don’t know what Mr. Obama was doing on 9-11 but it seems he may think the guys hijacking those planes were less of a threat to American society than the religious right. Perhaps Barrack Hussein Obama might identify more with them than he does with people who have Christian beliefs. How would we know? He can’t seem to tell the truth about his religious past and he joined a far left Christian religion as a symbolic gesture.

Mr. Obama is another democrat whose priorities are symbolism over substance. His symbolism is an annoying distraction, but his substance may be a real threat to America.
