Michelle Obama's Fearful Vision

I had an experience wearing a headscarf last week that was culturally and politically interesting. More on that in a minute. It made me think of Michelle Obama.

Last year, Mrs. Obama introduced her husband at a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Like so many of Mrs. Obama's speeches, this one reflected a jaundiced view of her country. She began by telling the crowd that her husband was "special." Nothing very unusual there. But then she offered a glimpse (she said) into their private discussions prior to his run for the White House: We talked about it and asked people what they were concerned about and it was fear. They were afraid. "It was fear raising its ugly head. Fear in one of the most important decisions we would make. It was fear of everything. Fear that we might lose. Fear that he might get hurt. Fear that this would be ugly. Fear that it would hurt our family. Fear."

Now it isn't crazy for a wife to fear for her husband's safety when he runs for political office. Rumor has it that Alma Powell discouraged Colin Powell from running for president out of similar concerns. But Michelle Obama was not talking just about the crazed gunman who might be lurking in a crowd somewhere.

"But you know the reason I said yes?" she continued. "I am tired of living in a country where every decision we've made over the last 10 years wasn't for something -- but it was because people told us we had to fear something. We had to fear people who look different from us, fear people who believed in things that were different from us. I am so tired of fear and I don't want my girls to live

Michelle needs Jesus Christ.

She already has Jesus. She got Jesus from Rev. Wright!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, the Jesus she got was Jesus Barabbas

Matt 27:15-18

27:15 κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν εἰώθει ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἀπολύειν ἕνα τῷ ὄχλῳ δέσμιον ὃν ἤθελον 16 εἶχον δὲ τότε δέσμιον ἐπίσημον λεγόμενον Ἰησοῦν Βαραββᾶν 17 συνηγμένων οὖν αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος τίνα θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν Ἰησοῦν τὸν Βαραββᾶν ἢ Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Χριστόν 18 ᾔδει γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παρέδωκαν αὐτόν

In her eyes, the USA sucks.

Someone ought to remind her about Jesse Jackson’s fear.

The fear of hearing footsteps behind him and being relieved when he turned and saw it was a group of white people.

There is fear but it’s not the kind of which Omarosa speaks.

It’s the constant undercurrent of charges of racism and rioting if O loses.

It’s ugly and it’s coming from the left you wicked woman.

from Ayn Rand: "Yours was the code of life. What, then, is theirs?"

I have known such people. They hate life and living because they are afraid and know in their hearts that they are not measuring up to what they could be. They are fearful and envious, and thus want to bring down everyone else.

Whatever happened to ‘’We have nothing to fear but fear itself’’ ???
