Obama-Scrpiture?

[dilloduck]

Let us keep that promise — that American promise — and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess

.

Anyone care to explain what the end of Obama's speech means ?

 

[Ravi]

It means he wants the thumpers to support Dems.

Another big negative, IMO, for Barak.

shhhhh it was sorta slipped in at the end there----I think it was supposed to be a subliminal thing. There's that little problem with church and state, you know.

Actually, since the convention was paid for with donations, I think he's allowed to push religion.

The next time you talk to him would you ask him exactly what that means ?

Well, his religiosity disturbs me (let's argue ethics not religion, in politics) but the phrase surely means that in his opinion people should vote out of a positive inclination (hope) rather than a negative inclination, (fear).

He certainly appeals to our better instincts, I'll give him that, and it's damn refreshing and one reason I think he is a refreshing change from the past 18 years or more on both sides.

HUH ? His biggest push is fear. We are reminded daily how we should fear four more years of Bush like policies. Liberals do the same thing here.

There's an awful lot of scripture out there--If you could find out which scripture it is that we are to hang on to, I might be able to tell what he meant by that.

 

[Ravi]

I'm surprised you never learned to google.

WOW--your right--I found it right off the bat !!

The Hussein Creed




We believe in one Lord, Barry Obama,
the chosen Son of Daley,
eternally forgotten by his angry Father,
And hippie Mother.
Through Barry
all things were made.
For us and for our condescension.
He came down from Harvard,
was incarnate of the Spirit of Hyannis port and the Viper Michelle
and became truly human.
As was proven in the Pennsylvania Debate.

He will come in glory to demand the living and the dead,
get to the polls.
And trash who ever he feels is in his way,
while smiling and handing out cash and jobs.

And his kingdom will have no end.
Once we take over the military.

We believe in the Holy Media, the giver of lies,
who proceeds from the Lord,
We believe in one holy Democratic and Socialist Church.
Which we will only attend if the Pastor is
not videotaped.

We look for the Resurrection of the Dead
on voting rolls across swing states.

And demand tenure at mediocre universities
with full benefits and down time to
write for Mother Jones
and some tiny poetry journals
and get faded in our Jacuzzis
and complain about how unfair everything is.

Now and Forever
Amen.

Funny, but incorrect.

Works for me--I think aren't supposed to be paying attention to it anyway

 

[Reality]

ahhh those technicalities

I don't see any problem with quoting scripture. Interpreting the constitution by using the bible is more the problem.

Common nationalist wing research technique on display.

 

[editec]

The Dems had a conservative Christian POTUS, remember?

CARTER.

He was, according to most neo-con wags, the worst POTUS in US history.

You people don't want a CHRISTIAN in office.

You Bushites want an old testament thinker in office.

Strong on angry and jealous God of Abraham sort of Christian, and completely devoid of the Jesus-type of Christian philosophy.
