First there was the trip to Europe. What prompted Barack Obama to include in a speech, "We are not a Christian nation. We are not a Jewish nation." Well, as a technicality, the second amendment established "congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion or the free expression thereof." The primary intent of that was that the United States consisting of many former colonists whose families came to the new world to avoid religious persecution in Europe would never be subjected to a state religion in the new Republic. Nevertheless, our founding fathers were people of faith who wrote of their convictions in many contexts.
When thoughtfully considered, the very heart of the rational for the founding of our nation as set forth in the Declaration of Independence argued: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
At the very essence of our legal foundation are values established by our Judeo-Christian heritage not to mention what percentage of the American people identify themselves as Christian or Jewish. So from a technical legal perspective, Obama is correct, from a cultural and real life perspective he is dead wrong. The beauty of the American system is the right to dissent and the right to follow or not follow a religion as each citizen is so guided.
Few Americans would argue than many aspects of Islamic law are just plain wrong such as the total subjugation of women and how nonbelievers are treated. Regardless, again and again, President Obama has gone out of his way to cozy up to the Islamic world.
What's so obvious is his avoidance of anything that conveys a connection with Christianity. At a recent speech at the Jesuit university, Georgetown in Washington, DC, the White House demanded that the stage be cleared of anything that would suggest Christian symbolism. The inscription "IHS" from the Greek letters to mark Jesus were ordered covered over which a triangular piece of black plywood was installed so as not to offend the President's sensitivities.
Who knows what Obama's true spirituality is. His behavior suggest he fancies himself as a divinity as if it's something he's thought, believed, or spoken, it surely must be true as he seldom cites constitutional principles or U.S. history to establish his rational. He has fervently denied ever being Muslim. We know of his Christian heritage if one can truly call it truly Christian, through his association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church in Chicago which subscribes to the radical doctrine of "Liberation Theology" a belief system which weds Marxist political and economic principles to selective Christian teachings. Obama's entire history of his association with the Chicago church speaks volumes of how shallow the river of faith is when it flows through Obama nation. After studying with extreme left-wing and Marxist scholars through his education, he needed something that would enable him to learn how to be an authentic American Black given his father was from Kenya and his mother was a white woman from Kansas. The opportunistic Barack Obama who had no heritage with the historical struggle, the origins of his ancestors being yanked from their native Africa and sold in the slave trade landing them in the southern United States, could develop the appearance of someone who had such a background. Barack Obama was a little boy thousands of miles from the real struggle when the Civil Rights movement, one that had powerful Christian values guiding it, was fought in the streets of America in the mid-60's with its crowning moment being the immortal "I Have a Dream" speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, as in "doctor of divinity."
The one thing that is for certain, Barack Obama's values are built on Marxist and far left ideologues. Through crafty political skill and cloaking his true identity, this detestable power hungry socialist has enjoyed his meteoric rise to hold the most powerful position in the world.
