First Week of Obama's Millenial Reign: Proclaiming Liberty for Terrorists/Enemy Combatants; Expanded Death Penalty for Fetuses; 'Triumphal Entry.'

Busy week for the Appointed One.  After partying and hobnobbing with the upper crust of Hollywood & the debauched entertainment industry & leftist elite in America on Inauguration Night (oops, sorry, military vets and heroes, didn't have time to go to your event--attended by every new president since Eisenhower), celebrating the nonviolent coup they scored back in November, it was down to business.  Executive Orders were flying.  Closing the Guantanamo Bay Terrorist Resort & Spa next year, ensuring the U.S. would continue its irrational policy of bending over backwards to preserve, protect & defend the unconstitutional rights of enemy combatants, no matter where we accommodate them.  Providing the abortion industry at home and abroad with a federal "bailout"of its own, ensuring that the worldwide scourge of fetal genocide will continue to expand compliments of U.S. taxpayers and lawmakers who are hell-bent on imposing mandatory "Freedom of Choice" on every nation, tribe and tongue, making abortion services obligatory and perfunctory.  And amidst the flurry of imperial dictats there was even a presidential memorandum ensuring a "transparent and open government" with the new Obama administration. (You know. Glasnost. Perestroika.)  Yup, just another week at the office.

To top it off, an inspired artist named Matthew Clark fashioned a life-size effigy of Mr. Obama, firmly ensconced on the backside of a donkey, and paraded him down the streets of Des Moines, Iowa.  The messianic overtones, to be sure, were subtle.  

You can read about and see photos of this Triumphal Entry here.

Next, we should expect to see an artist's rendering of Obama crossing the Potomac without a boat.

Politico, You Dare to Question the Great and Powerful Oz and His Unfathomable Wisdom, Whose Cabinet Selections are Unsearchable? What Chutzpah!

Here is a foretaste of the next four years in the new Obama Republic.

The lazy, liberal, lap dog press will learn soon enough (as it had already both during the campaign and after the election, especially with regard to Blagogate and the Illinois Senate Seat For Sale Scandal).

Ask a hardball, "substantive" question of the messiah, get a condescending, magisterial, evasive answer.

Let's Do That Oath Thing Again--We Wouldn't Want Somebody Claiming Later On That Barack's Presidency Is Not Constitutionally Valid (Now Would We?)

I nearly fell out of my JC Penney outlet store dining room chair when I heard that Barack Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts were reunited today for a second attempt at the Presidential Oath of Office, one and a half days after the original was muffed so badly by Justice Roberts and Mr. Obama.

Rumblings in the media and misgivings amongst the legal beagles at the Justice Department converged harmoniously into one consensus decision that it would be best to have a "super-abundance" of caution in making sure that all constitutional "i"s were dotted and "t"s crossed before proceeding with the messianic presidency of Mr. Obama, so as to avoid the potential embarrassing (and logical) scenario described by one law professor at George Washington University, i.e., that "there are going to be people who for the next four years are going to argue that he didn't meet the constitutional standard" as a result of the infelicitously administered oath.

Hmmm.  Ultra-scrupulous about constitutional requirements, aren't we?

Seems to me there was this one little misplaced, long-forgotten, anachronistic and forlorn constitutional requirement that was a non-issue during the campaign, though it should have been settled and met LONG, LONG BEFORE we ever got to the $170 million inauguration ceremony. 

It's called being a natural-born citizen.

Where was this constitutional law professor from academia when the Obama campaign--and their sycophants in the illiberal media--were covering up the fact that Obama had never demonstrated, by means of a simple, original birth certificate (not a Certification of Live Birth fraudulently altered and posted on the Internet!), that he met this clear-cut, no-nonsense requirement?

Here is WorldNetDaily's take on this.

Once again, we have the hypocritical double standard conveniently applied by the illiberal left when it comes to "preserving, protecting and defending" one of their own.

To use appropriate biblical language borrowed from the Real Messiah, Jesus, our so-called leadership (political scribes, lawyers, pharisees, hypocrites) exhibit unmistakeably that they are nothing but blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel."  (Matthew 23:24)

The Messiah's First Miracle: Turning the Water of Legalized Abortion into the Wine of Federally-Mandated, Unrestrained "Reproductive Justice"

What could be more fitting on the 36th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, Jan. 22nd, than for the newly-sworn-in president, Barack Hussein Obama, inveterate supporter of abortion-on-demand and booster-extraordinaire for Planned Parenthood, to sign into law the deplorable and disingenuously named "Freedom of Choice" Act.  

King Herod, of first-century infanticidal fame, would have been proud. Whereas that Herod the messiah-killer--written of in the Gospels as the paranoid despot looking to quash all future competition from potential political interlopers--only sought to exterminate male infants under the age of two, this quasi-messiah from the Land of Lincoln would breathlessly remove all government restrictions against the categorical and wholesale extermination of all infants, male and female, before they are even born, never mind toddlers with a bit of testosterone or babes in mangers.   

The "Freedom of Choice" Act is an equal-opportunity, non-discriminating edict pronouncing anathema on all existing government restrictions--be they federal, state or local--against fetal homicide, and is aimed squarely at the sensibilities of Right-to-Lifers, Christians, conservatives, devout people of faith, and all those who appreciate and respect the prerogative our Creator has over the beginning and ending of life, i.e., those who have not been chronically afflicted (or indoctrinated via the state education system) with the debilitating disorder known as liberalism/socialism.

Here is a helpful summation of this egregious piece of legislation, on which Obama will gladly bring to bear his newly acquired "power" to make it the intemperate law of the land. Read this article for a glimpse of what is at stake.

And here are some alternative titles I have thought of for the bill as I write this:

The American Self-Decimation Act

The Abortion Industry Bailout Act of 2009

The Rescission of Moral and Ethical Values in Government Act

The No Child Left Inside Act

The Planned Barrenhood Act of 2009

The Illusion of Choice Act

The Freedom of Vice Act

The Expedited Divine Retribution & Vengeance Omnibus Act of 2009

Celebrate the Nativity of the Real Messiah Today (There's No Disputing His 'Eligibility,' Whether He is Qualified--or Even Where He was Born!)

Dec. 25th may well have been an accommodation by the established Church of the day to take a long-observed pagan winter festival, the Nativity of the Invincible Sun, and "baptize," adapt and repurpose it to a higher, more noble Christian ideal, the birth of the Invincible Son.

For better or for worse, Christmas (Christ's Mass), December 25th, is the day that mainstream Christendom has chosen to commemorate and celebrate the birth--the Nativity--of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus the Christ (Greek), Jesus the Messiah (Hebrew).

Today, let us set aside the unhappy truth that human governments, human rulers and human institutions are fraught with error, excess and injustice, and let's embrace the happy truth and incomparably reassuring reality that divine government, instituted and employed by a divine Ruler--who loves his loyal subjects like no other Sovereign--can never be anything else but a blessed fountain of truth, equity, perfect mercy and perfect justice (something we'll never see coming out of Washington, D.C.--or for that matter any other seat of human, civil authority in this world).

So let's honor Him, Christ the Lord, the only lawful and rightful King of Kings and Lord of Lords over the nations of the earth, the only Ruler and Potentate entitled to all of our worship, all of our allegiance, all of our sincere obedience, all of our love.  He alone is worthy.

"And the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of his government and his peace there shall be no end,..."  (Isaiah 9:6b-7a)

"Change We Can Believe In?"--the Polluted and Corrupt Illinois Political Gene Pool is What Obama's Ideological DNA is Made of.

The closer we get to Obama's sham inauguration in January, the more unsavory characters we catch a glimpse of who have ties, associations and prior dealings with the president-elect.  Now the governor of Illinois gets arrested by federal agents.  For what?  Criminal corruption charges. We have to ask ourselves, Can any good thing come out of Chicago/Cook County, that isn't sordidly tainted with greed, corruption, vice and scandal?  That doesn't reinforce the image of Chicago as a city of thieves and thugs in power?  The answer is, apparently not.

Lies, distortion, deceit, prevarication, self-aggrandizement, extortion, etc.  These seem to be the elements that form the basis of political success in the "Land of Lincoln."

Obama cut his political teeth there.  He came of age in his political career there.  He burnished his marxist-activist-socialist credentials there.  He embraced that culture of dishonesty and political pretentiousness.  It has served to catapult him into the Democratic political limelight. That is what got him to where he is today.  And now the Powers That Be have ordained him to be the next vicar of globalism, the minister of marxist-fascism, the pontiff and bishop of 21st-century socialism.  And they're not about to let a trivial technicality like "constitutional eligibility" get in the way of implementing their leftist, anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-free-enterprise, pro-socialist, anti-freedom agenda through their handpicked party apparatchik, Barack Hussein Obama.

The more we examine this man, the more machiavellian he becomes.

The Rhodium Less Travelled: Obama Commissions Italian Jeweler to Spread $30K of Metallic Wealth to Wife Michelle. Ah, Capitalism!

After all the empty rhetoric Obama employed to hold himself out as the messiah of the masses, the hero of the working class, deliverer of the non-working poor from the oppression of the rich capitalists, disparager -in-chief attacking the productive and wealthy, threatening them with higher taxes, sharply criticizing even his opponent, Sen. McCain, for having the audacity (there's that word again) to own several houses at the same time-- Imagine.  Several houses. Why that's enough to provide shelter for all of Obama's destitute relatives, at the same time-- comes the revelation that Obama is having a 20,000 pound (USD$29,845) rhodium ring embedded with diamonds created as a "thank you" gift for his radical wife Michelle and her political support of him during his campaign.

Where are the media watchdogs to denounce this flagrant show of opulence as an extravagant and unseemly display of wealth by a young president-elect?  Huh? What? Oh, of course.  It's Barack Obama.  Sorry.  Never mind.

Don't misunderstand, I am a dyed-in-the-wool, hard-core capitalist and defender of the free enterprise system. If a man wants to buy his wife an expensive gift, and it is within his ability to do it, it is his prerogative to do so. But, the same worldview that motivates me also compels me to be a hard-core, dyed-in-the-wool critic and adversary of those who preach soap-box socialism in public and practice self-enriching, greedy capitalism in private. This is disingenuous and detrimental to all who practice it. It is also indicative of a double standard that has always existed in the upper echelons of liberalism-socialism. 

True egalitarianism--enforced equality--like income taxes, is meant only for "little people." As in all socialist countries where this has been tried before, the party elite becomes the new bourgeois and the common people assume an emasculated role in their government-mandated mediocrity as the new proletariat.  The more things "change" the more they stay the same.

The Real Messiah gave a parable two thousand years ago, which I paraphrase here (Paul's Non-Inspired Version): Be not censorious and magisterial about the splinter that is in your brother's eye, while you ignore, minimize, deny and seek to conceal the beam that is in your own. For that is what the unbelieving scribes, Pharisees, politicians and hypocrites do to get elected; and these you shall always have with you, especially since you keep voting them into office, year after year. (Note: last verse not found in the original, earliest manuscripts.)

Here's another verse that is more to the point: "Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity." (Matthew 23:28)
