Adulation of the Democratic nominee is building to a crescendo. Offering a prayer before a rally in Columbus, Ohio today, Cornal Garnett Henning, an AME bishop for parts of Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, compared him to Moses and Martin Luther King in the same breath He thanked God for having "given us a Moses and a Martin called Barack Obama" and asked the Almighty to "grant that we together this nation under God may have the will to bring about the change we need" and ensure that "those who cast their sacred vote will not be deprived this right". The McCain campaign, you might remember, mocked Obama as a Moses figure in an ad entitled "the One" in August.

I must be on another planet or a different reality than the Kool Aid drinkers. I admit that I am a PUMA and didn’t like Bush but Obama is just rubbing me the wrong way and I truly do get offended when people start comparing politicans to religious figures since in history that leads to people being burned. I remember MLK as a child. I am only a couple months younger than the ONE. I don’t remember being repulsed like this. So, I guess that makes me a racist, right? If you talk to my professional acquaintances (former friends) they are doing a Murtha on me and labeling me something like that since I am from the Applachian region. I maybe left to most of you guys but I am not a freaking socialist and I know what is right and wrong and socialism is not the answer and I am well read and educated and this guy is nothing short of a socialist. And if it were anyone else, the MSM would be all over them and his sh*t would in fact stink! I don’t get it. I don’t think I want whatever the rest of the country who supports him is drinking or smoking and I prefer to stay in a different place than these guys. This guy is no MLK and he is as arrogant as they come. That’s the most freaky thing about it is that people view him as some religious figure and he acts like he believes it which to me is a dangerous thing. And this time, if this guy gets in, I pray that we have strong enough Senators and House people to fillbuster no matter what and won’t wilt like they did in the “bailout”. I strongly believe in a two party state, not a one party state like most dicatatorships have. And I don’t trust Pelosi and Reid. They showed their true face in the bailout how they do not care about what the majority of the country wanted. And I think we have reached the time of protests again to make the MSM report things.
Thus says the LORD:
"Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is in the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit."
Obama should scare the hell out of everyone. The people who support him have gone far beyond admiration or even adoration to worship.
Have you heard Obama tell people not to call him The One or the Messiah or compare him to Jesus or Moses even once?
And you won’t. Obama is pure evil and if he wins, it will be confirmation that he is the Antichrist.
VolsLover, first: Hope you guys finally get rid of Phulmer, and I think you will this time. Get you a real coach. Hotty Toddy!
Next, welcome to FR. I hope you’ve been treated with respect and suspect that is the case. I think you’ll find that most here would love the opportunity to have a serious and civil discussion about a number of issues on which we differ. And it goes without saying that we’re fervently on the same page with regard to The One.

Yep, he’s Moses. He’ll lead this country into 40 years of exile. An exile from common sense and decency.
Obama is the ANTI-MOSES.
He wants to lead us INTO slavery.
The bishop is from the AME Church— that’s African Methodist Episcopal church. Glorious choirs! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AME_Church
Welcome to FR. Most people on here are ‘thinkers, not feelers.’ I have learned a lot here and also had a good
time with the humor here.
