Pravda looks at this propaganda with envy.

[aberaussie]

Just because they say it doesn’t make it true.

Obvioulsy the administration is now issuing some heavy-duty recreational drugs to key players in the media.

Wow, I did not know US News & World Report was in tank for the bamster too :(

I don’t believe it. Obummer’s only religion is a belief in his own superiority. His arrogant narcissism is inconsistent with a true belief in God’s love and mercy.

[presidio9]

I wrote in an earlier post, and I meant to add here, that I don’t believe Mr. Obama has any religion. I doubt that he has much of a concept of a Higher Power either. For twenty years, he attended Jeremiah Wright’s black liberation political rallies. He did so, because to be seen there was helpful to his political aspirations. At these rallies he heard Mr. Wright sermonize concepts that were directly opposed to Christianity. Presumbaly he agreed with what Mr. Wright had to say, but I take him at his word that he wasn’t listening.

None of this sounds anything like putting God first in your life and including Him in your decision-making process. Barak Obama doesn’t need God, because Barak Obama’s God is Barak Obama.

"they [the Weather Underground] employed revolutionary jargon, advocated armed struggle and black liberation and began bombing buildings, taking responsibility for at least 20 attacks. Estimates of their number ranged at times from several dozen to several hundred."

Barry Lynn says. . . .the dear leader’s useful idiot. . .my God this is awful. . .a triple bucket barf alert needed for this one!

[wardaddy]

what an absolute crock

[MichiganConservative]

What, they’ve set up a child sacrifice altar to Baal?

[penelopesire]

This is just an age old trick of the progressive movement to conflate religion with the state. Read ‘Liberal Fascism’ by Jonah Goldberg for an excellent explanation of the tactic.

[wardaddy]

Mortimer Zuckerman ruined USNWR

turned it from fairly conservative 40 years ago to the tripe it now is

much like Mort hisself

[taxesareforever]

I’m surprised they didn’t say he recites the koran on a daily basis in order to show his inclusiveness.

[hsalaw]

Agreed.

[presidio9]

I don’t get your tagline. What do you have against the term “Pro-Life?”

[MichiganConservative]

I’ve read some of the Koran. Allah (piss be upon him) sounds like a white-trash drug and alcohol addicted loser and Muhammad (piss be upon him) like a drug using gangster pedophile.

[lentulusgracchus]

The writer makes it quite clear that the motive here is competition -- political competition.

Which hasn't anything to do with faith, spirituality, religiosity, or witnessing of any sort.

Same old politics, just another angle to play.

It's all about competing for every last Republican vote, to compete the GOP down to nothing and destroy it -- to take away ALL their voters. Which is what LBJ is recorded as having said to (among other people) Bill Moyers. Leading by a wide margin, someone in the staff group asked LBJ why he was pushing so hard, competing so hard for every last voter. LBJ rounded on the guy and told the group, "I want it ALLLLL!!!" Thus Theodore White, in The Making of the President 1964.
