I've been thinking and thinking about the way President Barack Obama has been taking care of our country. And my emotional
reaction has been one of sadness, anger, shock, disgust, and dismay.

For most Americans, as well, the news of the day has become a bit too much
concerning the state of the Union. We feel abandoned, bullied, pushed,
and intimidated by our "historical" president. Dare I say he seems to
have some issues?

Frankly, Obama's recent address to the nation did little more than add insult to
injury. He gave no answers that made any sense. He only became "wee weed up"
while spending a great deal of his time telling us we can no longer
depend on oil and shamelessly pandering his green energy propaganda.

Outmoded fear-mongering

On Hannity the other evening, my colleague Erik Rush nailed it while discussing his
new book titled Negrophilia:
From Slave Block to Pedestal — America's Racial Obsess... The
Democrat Party purposefully misleads people of color by reinforcing
their fears, Erik pointed out. And certain pastors in the black
community do the same, he noted. Within too many of the sanctuaries of
black churches, the congregants are made to feel that the world is
against them. From the pulpit, these same pastors will look to
government, rather than to God's instruction for taking personal
responsibility. In John
10:10, Christ says, "I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly." The apostle John writes, "Beloved, I
wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health,
even as your soul prospers" (3
John 1:2).

We were told throughout Obama's campaign that if it were possible, he
would bring racially-diverse Americans closer together than ever before.
I viewed this promise as empty rhetoric because, like my friend Erik, I
do not believe for one moment that America is deeply embedded in racial
problems. We moved forward a long time ago. Americans intermarry and
raise wonderful children together. And anyone can be whatever he or she
chooses to be when they are willing to put their mind and effort to it.
This is 2010, and we're not gawking at the color of each others' skin.

However, ever since the Obamas moved into the White House, we've heard — with incessant racial-mindedness — something much
different. Americans of all nationalities and ethnicities on the
conservative side are not going to tolerate or embrace the progressives'
downtrodden, race-baiting lies being tossed out in the public arena.
We're in touch with the heart of America. The radical liberals are not. Have
you seen the recent polls?

Bigotry masquerading as religion

When Rev. Jeremiah Wright first stepped onto the political scene, he opened the door to
unabashed bigotry. For the very first time, most Americans were shocked
to learn about Black Liberation theology. It had nothing to do with
biblical Christianity whatsoever. It was about hatred of others who
happened to be of European white descent. Liberation theology also has
to do with being anti-Semitic.

There in an ungodly mix is a theology that demands a payback of sorts. It's about what some white and
black people did during the very distant past days of slavery. And
sadly, in the minds of some, it does not matter what was accomplished
during the Civil War. It does not matter what Martin Luther King, Jr.,
accomplished in the 60's as Americans came together for heart-felt
healing.

Today, we actually do have open bigotry. Let's call it out where it exists. It emanates from those who want to continually live
off the bygone past. There are race baiters within the worlds of
politics, media, and faith. The number of such radicals serving with the
president is staggering. We should be more outraged. We need to ask why
other politicians continue to give this president and his corrupt
cabinet any respect, much less the time of day.

Marxists posing as Christians

Pastors of many denominations are in close contact with Rev. Jim Wallis, an
openly avowed socialist/Marxist who is a member of
President Obama's "Faith Council" and is described as a spiritual
adviser to the president. These pastors are behind the scenes busily
helping the president. They're defiantly cheering Obama on as he becomes
more unbending and aloof in his thoughts. Yes, he is a master at
working out a very successful strategy of redistribution
of wealth, or what is cleverly called "social justice." If anyone
of importance says one word against the president or his big-government
policies, they are demonized.

Americans need to understand the destructive role that churches and pastors of once-conservative
denominations are playing. They have allowed progressives into their
fold and given them high offices within their churches. They stand ready
to help re-elect Obama. They will gladly help him pass his green agenda
— Cap and Trade. These denominations are no longer America's friend.
The United Council of Churches consists of little more than progressive
ideologues. They neither love their country nor respect the Word of God.
They are on the side of tyranny. Any denomination that mirrors their
teachings should be viewed with suspicion. "While I pray that God will
have mercy on their souls, we must show them no mercy
politically. They are but another well-organized group of traitors to
this nation" — Erik Rush.

Excerpts from "What Exactly Is 'Social Justice'?"

In a May 16 article at American Thinker, Jayme Sellards writes:

"The term 'social justice' is now commonly used by leftist activists,
clergy, educators, judges, and politicians to describe the goal they
seek to achieve with many of their policies. No precise definition of
'social justice' is ever offered by the left. Instead, the term is
always used in a vague way — as if everyone already knows, or should
know, what the seemingly well-intentioned phrase 'social justice' means.

"So, what exactly is 'social justice'?

"Social justice is the complete economic equality of all members of society. While this may
sound like a lofty objective, what it really means is that wealth should
be collected by the government and evenly distributed to everyone. In
short, social justice is communism. It is rooted in the Marxist idea
that the money
people make and the property they own do not rightfully belong to the
people who make the money and own the property." Full

Deceptive faith

It seems that when faith and the biblical gospel message should be at the apex in rebuilding
America's moral and material stamina, we as a nation are thrown into
more chaos. To understand what is happening to our country, we need to
understand Obama's faith. Only then will our eyes see our unfortunate
destiny.

The president will not handle our foreign allies with dignity or respect because he has none for them. It's absolutely
shameful how Israel has been treated by this president and his czarist
administration. Matters
of a deceptive faith held by the president have everything to do
with why our country is being purposely trashed and dismantled.

Welcome to Obama's America. How do you like socialism? The progressive,
quasi-Christian faith of Black Liberation Theology will lead our
country right into the throes of Marxism. And let it be known that Obama
has never denounced his anti-Christian belief system. So please, Mr.
President, do not talk about Jesus Christ to born-again Christians who
have the gift of discernment. You're not up to their spiritual "pay
grade."

Plenty to fear

As we wrestle with the fact that a once-thriving free-market society has been taken to the woodshed
by a narcissistic, vengeful man, there is plenty of fear to go around.
How does one reckon with a president who personally believes he has the
right to mete out social justice to all of America?

How is social justice applied? In plain English, the process is denigrating. It takes
away personal liberties, property, and money from hard-working people
and fritters them away in big government programs steeped in nebulous,
sweeping agendas. It reaches across the abyss to punish an entire
nation.

This mindset belongs to a president who wants to force a new view upon our country in a short period of time. Obama is changing
America's image for his own sake and in dogmatic deference to those
who've shaped his way of thinking. His father was a communist and his
mother was a Marxist sympathizer.

Look what the tide brought in

Week after week, we see disaster looming on the horizon. America's president can't be counted on to tackle an emergency such as
the BP oil spill. It's now become a scandalous nightmare for both man
and animal.

Where was Obama's concern for the people? What about the beautiful helpless creatures that are dying from the thick
sludge? So much for the care of Mother Earth!

Thirteen anxious, committed foreign countries and the UN stand ready to help with the
rescue effort — yet the president has turned them away. And for what
reason wouldn't he waive the Jones Act? Regardless
of the spin Vice President Joe Biden gives, there have been no overtures
from the White House to clear the way so foreign vessels will feel
comfortable committing their time and energy to help clean up the mess.

People believe that Obama's hesitation to allow other nations to help us clean
up the spill has more to do with big unions than the constraints of
federal laws that a president can set aside when need be, as President
G.W. Bush did during the Katrina disaster. Who in a rational state of
mind would behave so unconscionably? Obama is instrumental in the
destruction of our ecological system, along with people's livelihoods.

What type of a man would willfully turn down desperately needed help that
could spare our ocean and shores and secure our wildlife? Here is a
picture of a man we need to vote out of office. He and his so-called
"social justice" have done enough to bring this magnificent country to
its knees.
