Obama refers to God in religion-laden ceremony. Lefties fail to go nuts

Remember this?

When Stephen Harper became Prime Minister, he began saying “God Bless Canada” at the end of some of his speeches. Actually, he had used the term before he became PM, but no one cared much until then.

The change caused a bit of a fuss. Oh, people were upset. They wrote letters. Columnists penned columns. Pollsters took polls.

The lefties WON’T go nuts, because THEY know he doesn’t believe in God in the first place! They figure he is just playing for the “rubes”.

It’s OK because they know he’s really full of crap anyway. Just lip service for the masses.

Nothing new here. Republicans say the G-word and get crucified by the Left, but Democrats say it and ......{crickets}. I asked a lib about this once and she answered "yeah, but the Republicans really mean it,." Honest admission.

Like with Clinton’s HUGE Bible and constant scripture references, the Left knows Obama doen’t mean it.

Soviet leaders referred to god too.

As long as it’s god with a small “g” it’s ok.

"Obama refers to God in religion-laden ceremony. Lefties fail to go nuts"

Maybe that's because they already know where he is coming from. See my FR About page for an explanation of "Black Liberation Theology". Both Wright and the Weather Underground were proponents, as were the Black Liberation Army, who joined the WU in many of their attacks, including the Brinks Truck murders of two police officers and one security guard. BLT is a Marxist political ideology disguising itself as a religion. Much more info on all this on my About page.

Lefties fail to go nuts.

That's because they're already there.

And when a conservative pol says he prays for guidance,

the left has a hissyfit and declares that said pol is claiming the God talks to him.

Some lefties watching the TV where I was started complaining about the separation of church and state.

Boo Hoo.
