Sick “Leader,” Ailing Nation and Day of Prayer

Besides the seemingly endless list of outrages coming out of the current administration and Congress, we have a man in the presidency who regularly tells bold, filthy lies, not that other presidents haven’t lied, but this one takes the all-time cake for quantity. His interminable lying is bad enough, but then we have the sorry things he does to disgrace the office he holds. Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) has spit on the office of President of the United States in so many ways, and this past week he added some more.

Last Friday, he became the first sitting President to address the mammoth abortion factory, Planned Parenthood. His words can only be described as evil as he praised and defended one of the world’s largest baby-killing machines and even added his wicked wish that God would “bless” Planned Parenthood. Only a man with a dead soul would say such a hellish thing.

It attests to his brazen disregard for the sanctity of human life and his utter disrespect for common decency and the office of President that he would stoop to the level of lending his presence to this death-worship gathering during the apex of the trial of Kermit Gosnell, the barbarian accused of murdering babies and a woman in his Philadelphia abortion “clinic.”

Obama also demeaned the office of President on Monday by lending his cheering support, by personal phone call, to Jason Collins, the National Basketball Association player who decided to make a scene (and maybe jump-start his unremarkable career) by announcing that he is a homosexual. Obama shows where his twisted heart lies by publicly supporting a man who puts his sexual sin on parade.

Obama is a sick “leader,” but he is only a symptom of a sick nation. Only a nation with metastasized cancer of the soul would end up with a “President” like Obama. This nation celebrates sin and vilifies God and His followers. It’s upside-down and falling. We can’t possibly expect things to go well for America when so many lost people among us aggressively work to eliminate the Lord from public mention or public sight while they enthusiastically embrace all manner of sins which they shove in our faces.

Of course, many of us are deeply opposed to what’s happening around us in our nation, government, schools and institutions. Many of us look to the Lord for our salvation, and we pray for our families, friends and country. But, the body of Christ has failed to stop the evil tide that has washed over this nation and embedded itself in our culture. Too many of us have waited until the national cancer is terminal to begin to speak out against the societal rot that has crumbled our nation’s foundations.

Our nation is celebrating sodomy, celebrating people who “proudly” declare their sexual perversions for the entire world to see. The President of the United States—along with his wife, former Democrat President Bill Clinton and other high-profile people—has proclaimed this to be a great thing, something to be applauded, something courageous. It’s none of those things. It’s sick.

Our military is being forced to accept “out-and-proud” homosexual members, while the Pentagon has announced that Christian military members can now be punished with court martial or other measures if they share their Christian faith with others.

So… Obama’s civilian appointees who lead the Pentagon are confirming that the military will make it a crime--possibly resulting in imprisonment--for those in uniform to share their faith. This would include chaplains—military officers who are ordained clergymen of their faith (mostly Christian pastors or priests, or Jewish rabbis)--whose duty since the founding of the U.S. military under George Washington is to teach their faith and minister to the spiritual needs of troops who come to them for counsel, instruction, or comfort.

This regulation would severely limit expressions of faith in the military, even on a one-to-one basis between close friends. It could also effectively abolish the position of chaplain in the military, as it would not allow chaplains (or any service members, for that matter), to say anything about their faith that others say led them to think they were being encouraged to make faith part of their life. It’s difficult to imagine how a member of the clergy could give spiritual counseling without saying anything that might be perceived in that fashion.

And, the vicious, beady-eyed Left attempts to ridicule anyone who points out that there is a war on Christianity. This is only the latest in myriad examples of attacks on Christians and their faith by Satan’s foot soldiers in America.

Meanwhile, as Obama’s Pentagon decides to shred the God-given, constitutionally protected rights of our Christian and Jewish military members, Obama himself hypocritically signs the order for this year’s National Day of Prayer, in which he states:

All of us have the freedom to pray and exercise our faiths openly. Our laws protect these God-given liberties, and rightly so. Today and every day, prayers will be offered in houses of worship, at community gatherings, in our homes, and in neighborhoods all across our country. Let us give thanks for the freedom to practice our faith as we see fit, whether individually or in fellowship.

Where the heck did that come from, and how does it square with his Pentagon’s stance? I know it doesn’t square. Nothing with this two-faced administration does.

Regardless, Thursday May 2^nd is the National Day of Prayer. Our nation needs prayer every day of every year, but this is a good reminder to those of us who have a relationship with the Lord that we should spend much more precious prayer time, petitioning our Father in Heaven, through His Son Jesus, for His mercy on this undeserving nation and to give us strength to stand firmly in Him. Prayer is truly our most potent weapon and a strong defense against a world of spiritual evil and the ever-darkening days we face. Let’s use that weapon ceaselessly.

We must pray for a change in heart for our leaders, that they govern justly and wisely. Just as these are the people who, through their own selfish desires, changed the culture of our country to allow our problems, they are the ones, being acted upon by the Holy Ghost, who can reverse the course our country. I’m no fan of the president’s policies but I do pray for his salvation, and that he will see the wisdom of His ways and act accordingly.

Last night, (May 1st), the thought came to me, after scrolling through a news list, (you know, that ‘last time’ you look, before you put down the smartphone, for the evening), “Obama just named his own plague, as did Pharoah to Moses, before Pesach night”.

Obama, in invoking blessings ‘from God’ on Planned Parenthood, has sealed his own fate, and in so doing, all that’s left, is the marking of our doorframes.

I hold a lot of my own ‘particular religious thoughts’ close to my chest, but for a sitting President to actually use the term “God Bless You”, on an institution that exists to limit the nation’s population via murder, obtained by legal sanctions, does not do my heart good.

The more I read about Obama, the more the whispers of the name, “Nimrod”, come to my inner ear, and if I remember rightly, he and his did not come out too good, either!

Female author should be aware it was white females and their feminized male slaves who pushed BHO over the top in 08 and in 12. Fact is the white American female electorate has had a long-standing love affair for non-Anglo minorities and a genocidal death wish for white males for a very long time starting with the women's movement in the 60's. Their goal is the complete eradication of themselves and the white race through the twin evils of abortion and interbreeding with minority males. It is no accident that the most exotic and attractive unions for white women involve men of color and Muslims. This is the withered rotted fruit of the suffrage movement which gave treasonous women who are genetically incapable of clear thinking (because their brains are constantly high on dopamine and estrogen and sexual abandonment) the right to vote. Yet women will constantly lie about their wantonness while they ply their trade in secrecy and shadow, all the while diverting attention by accusing men of being the sexual abusers. Death wish.

The “female author” (me) understands that the spiritual corruption of the United States is not a result of “women voting.” It’s a result of the people choosing darkness over light. This includes both men and women, of course.

The paragraph from my column that you quoted says it just as it is. Obama is the “leader” we have “earned” by our nation spitting in the Lord’s face for so many years.

Bad behavior is a result of spiritual corruption—not the other way around.

Shall we take away their right to vote and make them use the back door, also? Maybe cover their faces and not show themselves?

It is this type of anti-woman thought that...coupled with religion and fear mongering...leads to the creation of taliban-like entities.

From a guy with a mom and two sisters he loves, I can say that if they ever become ontangled with someone of this thought process, I’d likely shoot the bastard to rescue them.

Seriously dude, did your momma beat you as a young’un?

Okay Tarzan, you can quit beating your breast now and climb down from that vine. Your adolescence is showing. Come back when you can argue your position, as an adult, on its merits instead of having to attack your opponent personally with thinly-veiled and mis-spelled threats of violence. By the way, the contents of your knee-jerk posting violates the rules here, and ought to get you banned from this site in perpetuity.

Whoa. Don’t think I’ve seen this before on FR, where the author of an article posted to FR by a “third party” responds, along with that third party, to a comment about the article made by another poster on FR. That would be like my criticizing Krugman’s piece in the New York Times, after it had been posted to FR, and suddenly here comes Krugman, attacking my criticism of his article, along with the original poster, who just so happens to own a blog apparently totally dedicated to Krugman’s writings. Something nefarious about this but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Anyone care to take a look? Maybe an Admin?
