Rains wash away Mount Obama in Charlotte, N.C
Washington Times ^ | 9/1/2012 | Stephan Dinan

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.

Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade.

Keep building your false idols Dems and you aren’t going to like what GOD does next!

I totally agree. In fact I wish that God would strike every person with terminal leprosy who voted for 0dumb0 in the last election or planning on voting for the RAT bastard communist pig in the upcoming election. And throw in all the gays (homo & lezzies) and muzzies for good measure!

The song.... back from when most people in America used to faithfully attend Sunday School AND church on Sunday morning, and evening services on Sunday night along with midweek Bible study & prayer meeting. Now it is pretty much just King James only, fundamental, conservative, Bible-believing, preaching, Baptist churches that still conduct services this way.

The mega churches have long ago turned the idea of "church" into just a giant entertainment center & social gathering. And the liberal, unsaved churches are just dying out due to dull, meaningless, empty minded homilies on Bible stories that they openly mock & disbelieve.

Anyway... here is a great youtube version of the song.

This sculpture looks like the late Al Jolsen in blackface.

God I’m old to remember this from his movie.

Giant Obama sand sculpture stands near convention (they repaired it after the rain)

May a thousand incontinent tea-drinking kitties visit the sculpture in the days and nights ahead and bestow their bountiful golden blessings upon the visage of his royal highness, the Obaminable Sandman.

>>Well, you have a point; the first 8 lines are in sonnet form, tho’ the last six don’t fit that form. But it’s well done, anyway.

Yeah, I just noticed that the final sestet has two and not three linking end rhymes. Oh well, that’s what beer will do to you.

No, wait, if Spenser can have his own type of sonnet, so can I. its a STRUGGLARIAN Sonnet.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name.

On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

That looks like Marlon Brando at the end of the Godfather 2 with the orange in his mouth, only with a teleprompter.
