Obama Says Accusations of Waging War on Religion are "Puzzling"

Fox News, ^ | 3/13/12 | Kimberly Schwandt

[Nachum]

President Obama when asked about the attacks from conservatives that he is waging a "war on religion" said that he finds it "puzzling," particularly because of his first job as a community organizer in Chicago, working with churches where he says he spread the "social gospel." In an interview Monday with Des Moines television station WHO he said of the charges, "I find this very puzzling, because my first job, my first real job out of college, was working with churches in low-income communities, trying to make sure that the social gospel was made real, that people were getting help."

Probably the scariest part of his comment is he actually believes it....

[Let's Roll]

He could have said ‘troubling’. It’s always a toss-up whether a lib will use ‘puzzling’ or ‘troubling’. Must have used up his ‘troubling’ quota for the month.

He’s certainly not waging war on islam...

What Obummer really said:

``I find this very puzzling, because my first con job, my first real con job out of college, was working with naive churches in low-income communities, trying to make sure that the socialism was made real, that people were getting their communist propaganda and indoctrination.

Definition of ``Social Gospel`:
[my CAP`S]

``Believing that laissez-faire CAPITALISM`S understanding of labor as a commodity and its sole reliance on mechanisms of supply and demand to determine wages and allocate resources was UN-CHRISTIAN, social gospel advocates supported the labor movement and called for an INTERVENTIONIST WELFARE STATE...``

{CAPITALISM IS `UNCHRISTIAN` = Anti-capitalist= communist )

``Despite all of their efforts to reach the working class and to cooperate with the labor movement, though, the social gospel failed to reach far beyond its middle-class LIBERAL Protestant milieu. Ultimately, the greatest achievement of the social gospel was to prepare the ground of middle-class America for PROGRESSIVISM.``

That’s the best he could come up with?

Right! Obama is a racist hiding under the cover of “diversity.” What a pig.

[Bernard Marx]

Yep. Obama worked worked with the churches, for sure, especially the Campaign for Human Development. As Stanley Kurtz puts it in his book "Radical-In-Chief, Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism:"

"CHD documents...admit to actively promoting the long-term 'socialization of property ownership.' In effect, then, CHD adopts the incremental strategy of modern democratic socialists: Work slowly from within the system, laying long-term foundations for the transition from capitalism to socialism.

."..the ideology that pervaded the upper echelons of the community organizing world -- and that governed the funding of Obama's early work -- is easy enough to identify. It's called socialism."

Obama hates the United States, and every christian thing about it, including the Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
So far, he has been successful in hurting all of the above.

[Texas Fossil]

He has “waged war” on Christian, Jews and other faiths in that he directly assaulted the Freedom of Religion granted by God and written by the founders of our nation into the U.S. Constitution.

Is that clear enough for Obozo to understand.

FUBO!

This is what happens when the greedheads and moochers send a dimwitted racist pansy to do a man’s job.

he spread the "social gospel."

And I quote: "Not God Bless America, God Dam America!"

"I find this very puzzling, because my first job, my first real job out of college, was working with churches in low-income communities

I thought he was a Corpseman?

...my first job, my first real job out of college, was working with churches in low-income communities, trying to make sure that the social gospel was made real, that people were getting help."

Perhaps the people would have been better with the Good News of Salvation (THE Gospel) rather than the marxist wishy washy, class envy "social(ist) gospel. Getting other peoples' stuff and money will not grant you into eternity with The Lord.

[Ezekiel]

Besides the satanspeak "social gospel" abomination, the content of this article is disturbing on several levels.

Even though the president openly mentions and discusses his Christian faith, talks about the daily devotional he gets on his blackberry and has gone to church a handful of times in Washington, he still fights a perception that he's not a Christian.

Even though?! Even though he spews lies 24/7, some haven't believed? Good! Not everyone is deceived by this POS Renegade, but Obama's war on Truth is far from over.

[SaraJohnson]

Watch what he does. Igonore his flapping purple lips.

[AGreatPer]

Too easy. What a dumb .... he is.

The guy has his own world and everything must conform around it to be correct.

[GingisK]

...waging a "war on religion" said that he finds it "puzzling,"...

That clearly indicates he isn't anywhere near as smart as some of those folks want to think.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I have watched what he does.....what his 40+ communist czars
have done......and I am mortified!
