Article I,Section 9, Clause 8 of theUnited States Constitution, forbids 'titles' of a certain kind...but there are other kinds of titles that are wll earned.

Our current Presidents earned 'the Food Stamp President,' .....and 'the Anti-Religion President,' as well.


1. History provides pertinent examples of other leaders who hated religion.

a. "Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov (Lenin) had the courage to come out and say openly that famine would have numerous positive results...Famine, he explained....would bring about the next stage more rapidly, and usher in socialism, the stage that necessarily followed capitalism. Famine would also destroy faith, not only in the tsar, but in God, too."
"The Black Book of Communism," p.123-124.

b. "Karl Marx famously belittled religion as an 'opiate for the masses,' a drug that the spread of worldwide socialism would one day make undesirable."
Schlafly

Sad how many who imagine themselves to be Americans are, today, socialists.



2. Not only is respect for religion lacking in contemporary society, but large parts of it have been co-opted by the Left; it comes out as Marxism's recitation of Christianity.
Today the view, sometimes described as "liberation theology,"makes the blanket appraisal that God is on the side of the poor. Period.
If one self-identifies as poor, one need simply sit back and receive what are called "entitlements," but are actually the redistribution of the nation's wealth.

a. "Take control of and redistribute assets....A heavy progressive or graduated Income Tax....Abolition of all rights of inheritance"
Chapter 2 of the Communist Manifesto



3. Then, there was this restatement of Marx's view of religion: "And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

"Like Marx, Obama views traditional religion as a temporary opiate for the poor, confused, and jobless- a drug that will dissipate, he hopes,, as the federal government assumes more God-like powers..."
Schlafly, "No Higher Power"





4. For a totalitarian secularist, as Obama is, the revolution he brings with the aim of 'fundamentally transforming' America is not the God-fearing American Revolution of the Founders, but, rather, the deeply hate-filled, death-draped anti-religion tradition of the French Revolution, summarized in the words of Denis Diderot:
"Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

a. “The French Revolution occurred almost simultaneously with the American Revolution. While sharing many similarities, there was one glaring difference. The French were not Christian and attempted to introduce a godless humanistic government. The result is amply recorded in history books. Instead of the liberty, justice, peace, happiness, and prosperity experienced in America, France suffered chaos and injustice as thousands of heads rolled under the sharp blade of the guillotine.”
Religion and Government in America Are they complementary The Mandate


b. "If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety"). This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century."

Religion, faith, and worship is by personal choice. Also, since he was elected not once, but twice, should speak to whether his beliefs or non-beliefs bother the majority of voters. Shouldn't we be more concerned about whether or not he loves America, believes in true justice, real freedom, and whether or not he's interested in a prosperous self-supporting nation and citizenry? Shouldn't we be more concerned with, and critical of his damaging presidency?

It's Sunday....stop ya' lying.


1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.


2.Real household income is down 5%


3. Consumer prices are up 10.2%


4. When Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08. Since then, it has increased $7,514,567,086,650.22--which is $65,443 per household, $70,985 per full-time worker and $84,266 per full-time private-sector worker. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker

5. (CNSNews.com) - The federal government drove $789,473,350,613.20 deeper into debt in calendar year 2014, an increase that equaled $6,875 per household, $7,458 per full-time year-round worker, and $8,853 per full-time year-round private-sector worker. According tothe Treasury, the debt started calendar year 2014 at $17,351,970,784,950.10 and ended it at $18,141,444,135,563.30. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker


6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

109,631,000 Americans lived in households that received benefits from one or more federally funded "means-tested programs" — also known as welfare — as of the fourth quarter of 2012,according to data released Tuesdayby the Census Bureau. When those receiving benefits from non-means-tested federal programs — such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment and veterans benefits — were added to those taking welfare benefits, it turned out that 153,323,000 people were getting federal benefits of some type at the end of 2012.

Subtract the 3,297,000 who were receiving veterans' benefits from the total, and that leaves 150,026,000 people receiving non-veterans' benefits."

1. History provides pertinent examples of other leaders who hated religion.

a. "Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov (Lenin) had the courage to come out and say openly that famine would have numerous positive results...Famine, he explained....would bring about the next stage more rapidly, and usher in socialism, the stage that necessarily followed capitalism. Famine would also destroy faith, not only in the tsar, but in God, too."

b. "Karl Marx famously belittled religion as an 'opiate for the masses,' a drug that the spread of worldwide socialism would one day make undesirable."

Sad how many who imagine themselves to be Americans are, today, socialists.



2. Not only is respect for religion lacking in contemporary society, but large parts of it have been co-opted by the Left; it comes out as Marxism's recitation of Christianity.
Today the view, sometimes described as "liberation theology,"makes the blanket appraisal that God is on the side of the poor. Period.

3. Then, there was this restatement of Marx's view of religion: "And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

"Like Marx, Obama views traditional religion as a temporary opiate for the poor, confused, and jobless- a drug that will dissipate, he hopes,, as the federal government assumes more God-like powers..."

4. For a totalitarian secularist, as Obama is, the revolution he brings with the aim of 'fundamentally transforming' America is not the God-fearing American Revolution of the Founders, but, rather, the deeply hate-filled, death-draped anti-religion tradition of the French Revolution, summarized in the words of Denis Diderot:
"Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

a. “The French Revolution occurred almost simultaneously with the American Revolution. While sharing many similarities, there was one glaring difference. The French were not Christian and attempted to introduce a godless humanistic government. The result is amply recorded in history books. Instead of the liberty, justice, peace, happiness, and prosperity experienced in America, France suffered chaos and injustice as thousands of heads rolled under the sharp blade of the guillotine.”

b.

Religion, faith, and worship is by personal choice. Also, since he was elected not once, but twice, should speak to whether his beliefs or non-beliefs bother the majority of voters.

5. Really....is it fair to say that Barack Obama, a self-proclaimed believing Christian, is the "Anti-Religion President"?

Well....Matthew 7:15-16 provides a Litmus Test..." "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. "


If he behaves with intolerance toward religious folks, and, in fact contrary to the very
Constitution he swore to uphold "... make no law respecting an establishment of religion,or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."....

...but, instead, authorizes the secularist federal government to dictate who should be hired or fired as a minister...
That would pretty much prove it.


a. Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

In the case, Obama's lawyers made the argument that the federal government could force a Lutheran Church to pick as minister, whomever the government decided.

Get that???
Obama claimed the authority to choose a church's ministers.


" All nine Supreme Court justices agreed with the decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts that "the Establishment Clause prevents the Government from appointing ministers, and the Free Exercise Clause prevents it from interfering with the freedom of religious groups to select their own."

Does that make him The Anti-Religion President?

Yeah ... all those jobs, economic recovery, slashing the deficit, the robust stock market and damages of his presidency.
Yep, along with the astronomical and rising national debt, the loss of privacy, more war, neglected Vets, 50% of our children living at or below the poverty line, the real unemployment numbers, the number of citizens now receiving some form of government assistance, cities going bankrupt, lost tax revenue, lost home equity, troubled pension funds, our rundown infrastructure, unaffordable health care, the rising cost of higher education, the damaging illegal immigrant issues, failed foreign policies, the number of low-wage, part-time, and temporary jobs taken by our work force, less company paid benefits offered by employers, the difficulty of those 50 and older finding a job, the real cost of living to wages ratio, less home ownership, the injustices in the judicial system, our growing prison population, government corruption, the Lobbyist control of the U.S. Congress, tax breaks and tax loopholes for the wealthy, our polluted rivers, air, land, and oceans, supplying weapons to drug lords and terrorists, building mosques on foreign soil, college grads living with parents and flipping burgers, un-penalized off-shore job out-sourcing, un-penalized importing of labor, bribes paid to North Korea and Iran, and the elderly forced to make a choice between buying food and buying medicine.

Yep, he's done great. Six plus years of "politics as usual", the further decline of this once great nation, and little hope for future generations of Americans.

Actually, American and socialist are mutually exclusive.

So glad for the opportunity to enlighten you.

By American, I'm referring to the America memorialized by the Founders, based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.

Socialists, Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives subscribe to a very different constellation.
 
6. For Obama, being slapped down by all nine Supreme Court Justices, in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v.EEOC served as merely a bump in the road for the Anti-Religion President.....and the application of a new title: The Anti-Constitution President.




Not a month later, Obama demanded that all employers, no matter religious or not, pay for contraception and abortion-inducing pills for their employees!

So, over a two month period,
a. he demanded the power to determine who a church could or must hire, and

b. the power to demand that churches pay for sexual practices.





Insight into Obama's psychosis, may be gleaned from his view that pregnancy is a curse, a punishment can be seen in his statement in 2008:
"At a town hall meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on Saturdayafternoon, Barack Obama told the crowd that he didn't want his daughters, "punished with a baby."


Sound like the view of a 'self-proclaimed believing Christian?



"Punished with a baby?"That just doesn't sound right. Why use the word punished? I
would think that word would be alarming to people and possibly offensive to those who have had babies out of wedlock."

The 10 Most Socialist States In America - Business Insider

The 10 Most Socialist States In America
  • SEP. 23, 2010, 11:30 AM

  • I work hard for my money. I leave my two gorgeous kids every morning to make money because I have to. So, I hate taxes. I hate politicians who waste my tax dollars. I hate politicians who can’t say no to wasteful spending, and then throw salt on the wound and increase taxes to escalate the rape of hardworking, law abiding taxpayers. So let’s take a look at the states that are doing this the most, the most socialist ones.

  • How do we know whether a state is socialist? Very easy. By definition, socialist states (or countries) tax and spend a higher percentage of their GDP. Instead of returning state revenue back to taxpayers, these states think they know how to spend hard-earned taxpayer dollars better. So we only need two pieces of data to determine which states are the most socialist: total state revenue and the state’s GDP.


    Methodology:

    I used the Census Bureau’s total state revenue data from the Annual Surveys of State and Local Government Finances. The data is available for periods as recent as 2008 (the context of this year will make more sense when you see who the top state’s governor was at the time). Then I got my hands on the 2008 state level GDP data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Total state revenue includes all sorts of taxes including individual income tax, property tax, sales tax, and that of motor fuel, alcohol, tobacco, public utilities, etc. It also includes corporate taxes, and motor vehicle licenses, charges collected from highways, education, hospitals, airports, parking, parks, natural resources, housing, sewerage, garbage collection, interest earnings, special assessments, etc. There are only a few things that they don’t tax.

    On top of these taxes, states also receive some revenue (sometimes multiples of what they collect in the state) from the federal government. These are federal tax dollars collected from residents of this country, and spent by these states instead of returned to taxpayers. That’s why they are included in the calculations. Did I tell you that I hate taxes?

    Anyway, I divided the total state revenue by the state’s GDP and calculate the percentage of the public sector in the state’s economy. The larger this percentage, the more socialist the state is. Period. There’s no other way to look at it. Then I ranked all 50 states and DC to find the top 10 socialist, or red!, states of this country. You won’t believe who is number one. Or, if you’re educated, you already know.
