The Times has no shame.
And fewer readers than ever.

Could there be a correlation?

Pastor Manning already certified Obama as the “son of satan” and his sidekick Oprah as the antichrist.
I’m not sure what an atheistic, pro abortionist, anti-prayer newspaper is doing playing the religion card. They must be trying to confuse us.

So the Jesus thing is evil, except when it’s not evil…

So, wait… Jesus was a socialist and so is Obama.

um.. So, Jesus paid a price for the good of humanity and so will Obama when his plan comes together.

So, Jesus imagery is cool and Jesus is cool cause Obama’s like Jesus, but Jesus isn’t cool when his followers live, speak or act in his name.

Help me out here folks cause the NYT’s has me trippin’ on this one.. /

Despite every attempt at creating a Utopian society ending in the murder of innocents, this poseur truly seems to believe he can pull it off. I have not, in my lifetime, seen such an obvious line of demarcation between Good and Evil. This person is a ravenous wolf in sheep’s clothing.

re: bg #5

Obama knew all about Farrakhan

["Our confrontation with America used to be like confronting a fortress from outside. Today we have found an opening to enter the fortress and
to confront it from within."]

Louis Farrakhan: Obama is the Messiah

You are the instruments that God is going
to use to bring about universal change.

And that is why Barack has captured the youth.

And he has involved young people in a political
process that they didn’t care anything about.

That’s a sign.

When The Messiah speaks, the youth will hear.

And The Messiah is absolutely speaking.

SURPRISE!! SURPRISE!! the
video has gone “POOF” again..

Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, a lawyer who helped establish the Black Panthers, recommended Barack Obama for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988. In the 1960s, al-Mansour was involved with California Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. Formerly known as Don Warden, al-Mansour would later become a Muslim. A key figure in the Islamist “stealth” jihad, al-Mansour recruits prison inmates and mosque worshippers to engage in an apocalyptic battle against America. In the words of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic cause is to:

“Eliminate and destroy the Western civilization from within.”

A COVENANT FOR A NEW AMERICA

["At a press conference on December 1... the possible Presidential contender said, '...the network that Saddleback has helped to create has as much reach as any institutional force in our culture and has probably a wider reach around the world than just about anything that's going on right now.... I hope one of the things that comes out of this conference that Pastor Rick has emphasized again and again, is no single branch of our society is going do this alone. If government thinks they can do it by themselves they're wrong. Churches have to recognize that they've got to be partners with the government. Business has an enormous role....

"...you know the separation of church and state as a concept of the first amendment the biggest practitioners and the people who advocated most fiercely for it were actually evangelicals.'... [Yes, but later liberal humanists turned the meaning upside down.]

UCC member Sen. Barack Obama
discusses faith and politics

[Later -- during his interview with United Church News -- Obama continued his thoughts about religion and politics; specifically, the role of religious principles in reaching a balance between national security and social justice concerns.

"I believe that democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal values," Obama said. "Social justice and national security are both universal values, values that may originate for some in their religious beliefs, but are shared by us all."]

Funny thing about that 3 days thingy… There’s also something in Revelation about the beast suffering a fatal head wound and coming back to life after 3 days…

Cause evil is all about “confusion” and lots of people got this Messiah thing very confused.

Jesus said that we shall know them by their fruits. Obama is a pro-abortion, marxist abomination to the Christian faith. His appointments reflect his beliefs, from his perverted “safe school czar”, Kevin Jennings to his pro-sterilization “science czar”, John Holdren; from transvestites to tax cheats; from union thugs to communist revolutionaries, Obama’s associates should be featured on “America’s Most Wanted” with their faces plastered on the Post Office walls.

It does not suprise me in the least that this liar-in-chief should continually portray himself as a Christ like figure.

I think Paul may have said it best.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2Cor. 11: 13-15

forty-two months? ONE TERM?

Revelation 13:5-7

5The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months.

6He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.

7He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.

re: bg #19

Who is Khalid al-Mansour?

[Born the 11th of 12 children as Donald Warden to a polyglot father who often spoke glowingly about Islam, al-Mansour decided to change his name in 1964 after learning Arabic and studying Islam.]

Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age

[But in the lengthy interview, al-Mansour confirmed that he frequently spoke on university campuses, including Columbia, where Percy Sutton suggested he met Obama in the late 1980s, and confirmed his close relationship with Prince Alwaleed.

[..]

He accused the Jews of “stealing the land the same way
the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.”

[..]

“As a black American, I am exceedingly proud at the American people’s response to Barack Obama’s candidacy,” said CORE’s Niger Innis. “But
to deny that he has long-standing ties to left-wing elements in our polity
is to deny reality. If you want to be president of the United States, it is
not racism if you ask these kind of questions, and he has to come up with
an answer, hopefully the truth.”

[..]

For Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Los Angeles-based Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), these latest revelations about Obama’s ties to Saudi financiers were an important wake-up call.]

Don/ald Warden aka: Dr. Khalid al-Masour & Rev. Jeremiah Wright (ex-Muslim Black Nationalist) both attended Howard University..

Obama, Wright, Black Panthers

Islam and Black Liberation Theology

evidently nothing short of another 9/11, or God forbid
worse, is going to truly wake this country up.. *sigh*

oh btw: Weatherman & Black Panthers

[..] According to a 1982 New York Times report, Broadway Baby was implicated in an investigation of a series of violent armed robberies in New York—netting more than $2 million over a two-year span—committed by former Black Panthers and Weather Underground members in the early ’80s.

Their aim? Global revolution, naturally. They needed cash, but the rich white parents weren’t in a giving mood. So their privileged offspring grabbed guns, pointed them at the faces of the working man and, sometimes, they pulled the trigger.

At Broadway Baby, customers often paid by check and used driver’s licenses for identification. On Dec. 28, 1979, information from two customer files was used to apply for two driver’s licenses at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. The fraudulent licenses were used to rent getaway cars for the gang.]

ps: Ayers & Dorhn

[Ayers and Dorhn have three children. One is named Malik (the Muslim name of Malcolm X), and another is named Zayd (after Zayd Shakur, a Black Panther killed while driving the cop-killer JoAnne Chesimard -- a.k.a. Assata Shakur -- to a hideout).]

For those who believe in me shall hear me..
I don’t believe Jesus would give “shout outs” while 13 innocent American soldiers lay bleeding, shot dead by a brother sunni muslim–Nor would Jesus give a $150 fund raiser to support abortion & not approve funding for babies who were being tossed in the trash… he has shamed America-he was given the opportunity to make America shine…but instead he is abusing her over & over…his actions show his true motives. He should have put jobs & security first.. its all about ME, ME, ME, Who cares about health care if you can’t work??!!! or feed your families…??? He is a fat cat..hypocrite!
