"Lions and Tigers and Scripture, Oh My!"
Wow. These verses have been well-publicized for about 3 years now. I posted them on my facebook page then, so I guess I can expect a knock on the door any day now.
These signs are great....
like the one at Sioux City Airport (OBAMA welcome to SUX)
What the hell business is it of theirs? There isn't a communicated threat.
Methinks 0bama and his Chicago regime are very thin skinned.
Is that racist? Sorry, but the race card has expired.

You think a poster saying “Obama’s a Fag” might offend?
Ban the Bible?????
If you read the whole Psalm, it is the psalm-writer asking God to bring judgment on the wicked. The entire Psalm 109:
“Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
In return for my love they act as my accusers: but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
hat they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it. Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.”
The psalm writer does express his desire that God judge and take the life of this wicked man who was oppressing not only him, but all the weak and defenseless around him. So, I guess you could make an argument that quoting the psalm against Obama could be a “death threat”. But, it’s not a death threat on the part of the psalm writer - he’s asking GOD to do the killing, not himself.
It’s kind of like that line in “Fiddler On the Roof” when the Rabbi is asked if there was a proper blessing for the Czar. His reply was, “Yes, May the Lord bless and keep the Czar - FAR FROM US!”
Liberals have no sense of humor.
There was a physicist interviewed on Coast2CoastAM who runs the MERLIN Project doing scientific forecasting who mentioned that Obama’s numbers run very similarly to MLK’s numbers.

Conservatives should kick the SS in the balls and put those signs nationwide. Let the anti-American intimidation dicks interview the whole nation. Everyone welcome them them with a FUBO.
Ir’s the following verse, I bet, that is raising the eyebrows of the Secret Service.
http://bible.cc/psalms/109-9.htm
The SS is really stretching it. I is plain old fashioned intimidation.
That’s a great billboard.
I bet the Secret Service is laughing its behind off.
“Yeah sure, Mr. Axelrod - - we’ll (snicker) investigate that billboard.”
If the secret service is investigating anything in Victoria, it is surely limited to BBQ at Murphrees and “gentlemen’s clubs” bars if any.
Victoria, TX ping!

Hate Speech?
Milton H. Neitsch Jr. Built that
A sign erected on North Navarro Street asking drivers-by to “Pray for Obama” is stirring controversy in the Crossroads.
The sign, at the corner of North Navarro and Stanly Streets next to Car West Car Wash and Uncle Mutt’s Bar-B-Q, references a seemingly kind suggestion to pray for the nation’s president.
But below a pair of hands folded in prayer, Psalms 109:8 is stripped across the bottom.
“When I first saw the sign, I thought, ‘Oh good, we should pray for our leaders’ ... but when I got out my Bible and looked up the verse, I realized the verse was calling for the death of a leader who the writer (King David, of Israel) believes is evil,” said the Rev. Amy Danchik, of Christ the Victor Lutheran Church, located on the same street.
Psalms 109:8, which reads, “May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership,” provoked Danchik to petition area clergy for the removal of the sign, citing its inflammatory implication that Obama should die.
On its own, Danchik said Psalm 109:8 is “bad enough,” but the verses immediately following secure the tone of the “Pray for Obama” sign.
Neitsch, who said the two businesses located on his properties are not responsible for or affiliated with the sign, said he did not intend for the billboard to be controversial.
“I did not mean to imply what’s in those other verses, only Psalm 109:8,” Neitsch said. “The country is losing its Christianity and that sign was put up in good faith to support the prayer for Obama, even though I don’t support his policies.”
Neitsch said the sign was purchased online and paid for by several supporters of its message. He said he received only one complaint since the sign went up a week ago, and everyone else has praised the billboard.
“I believe in God and I believe there’s still time for this country, but I believe we can’t put up with what we’ve had the last four years,” he said. “I only support what’s written in Psalm 109:8, which says ‘Let his days be few.’ Obama happens to have 69 days left and when he’s gone someone else will take his place.”
But Danchik said the act of removing one verse from the entire passage, known as “prooftexting,” is an insufficient method of reading scripture and may promote an incorrect message of Christianity.
“The world already sees a hateful form of Christianity, and this is one of the reasons - this billboard,” she said.
Jared Mayfield, the city of Victoria’s director of development services, said no regulation or ordinance would require Neitsch to remove the sign from his property.
“If it’s on his property and it’s legal, he can change the message on the billboard,” Mayfield said. “The city doesn’t have any regulations or sign ordinance that would address the content of the sign.”
Victoria resident David Allen, who was not immediately aware of the message of the sign, said he does not support Neitsch’s billboard.
“I don’t think it should be up there. For him to say that a person should die, that’s not right. Obama shouldn’t be president, but he doesn’t need to die,” Allen said.
Yet another Victoria resident, Gabby Herrera, said while she doesn’t support the message of the sign, she supports Neitsch’s right to post it on his property.
“Yes, it’s in a public place, but it’s on his property,” she said. “I’m not saying I’m for or against Obama,” but Neitsch has the right to express his opinion.
Danchik has launched a community-wide effort to remove the sign and is circulating a petition among clergy and Victoria residents requesting it be taken down.
“This is not about bashing the man who put it up. I have no hatred for him, and I’m speaking the truth in love,” Danchik said. “But I’m holding him accountable to scripture. I’d like to see it taken down for the sake of the gospel.”

Are they also looking into all the vehicles that have that as a bumper sticker too?? If so, there are a LOT of them in Williamson county, TX.
I don’t see a threat. Why would the secret service investigate something as benign as this?
