Obama: Millstones and the least of our brethren

Another FreeRepublic Op-ed For the political season (#4 in a series)

This op-ed addresses the stunning duplicity in Obama’s presentation which is being carefully ignored in the media. When a democrat candidate tries to invoke scripture, to deceive We The People, somebody really should call the liars on it! Obama’s lack of familiarity with Bible passages glared at us from the seat next to Pastor Rick Warren, yet the media are meticulously avoiding the laser beam in their eye.

From the Saddleback transcript:

Obama: I THINK AMERICA'S GREATEST MORAL FAILURE IN MYLIFETIME HAS BEEN THAT WE STILL DON'T ABIDE BY THAT BASIC RECEPT IN MATTHEW [caption Mathew chapter 25 31-46] THAT WHATEVER YOU DO FOR THE LEAST OF MY BROTHERS, YOU DO FOR ME.

R. Warren: YOU DO FOR ME, YEAH.

Obama: AND NOTION OF -- THAT BASIC PRINCIPLE APPLIES TO POVERTY. IT APPLIES TO RACISM AND SEXISM. IT APPLIES TO, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVING -- NOT THINKING ABOUT PROVIDING LADDERS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO GET INTO THE MIDDLE CLASS. I MEAN, THERE IS A PURVASIVE SENSE I THINK THAT THIS COUNTRY IS WEALTHY AND POWERFUL AS WE STILL DON'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME THINKING ABOUT THE LEAST OF THESE --

R. Warren: ABOUT THE COMMON GOOD, THE COMMON GROUND AND COMMON GOOD.

Here’s what that passage from Matthew's Gospel actually says, and please note the verse 40 admonition of doing to the least is doing to Jesus … if the children surviving an attempted abortion are not the least of Jesus‘ brethren, then there isn‘t a cow in Illinois and Barack Obama is a great Bible teacher for the democrats!

Matthew 25:31-40 [KJV]

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Folks, Barack Hussein Obama worked hard to prevent a bill from passing that would have protected babies who are born alive following an attempt to kill them in their mother’s womb!

When Obama stood to oppose the born alive infants protection bill, he argued that ‘to extend protection to the survivors of abortion attempts would convey personhood upon these alive, born children, and thus invoke the Constitutional protection of the fourteenth amendment.’ And according to Barack Hussein Obama protecting these babies via the Constitution would be ‘anti-abortion’ in nature so he would not support the bill! In other words, Barack Obama does not want to defend the least among us and wants to define these least as ‘not persons’ because the Constitution would protect them and Barry doesn’t want them protected and in fact wants the murder of these little ones to continue as legal slaughter of ‘the least among us.’

And Jesus instructed: “Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did.” … “

I seem to recall something Jesus said about millstones around the necks of those who harm one of these little ones, the least of Jesus‘ brethren. … Now what is Barry’s collar size again? Is it too early to fit him for his millstone?
