“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death.” --Barrack Hussein Obama

The Poseur in Chief made the above statement in a conference call with the Religion Action Center of Reform Judaism, which is comprised of roughly 1,000 Rabbis of varying sects of Judaism, saying that he would need their assistance in getting "significant" health-care reform passed.

Tell me, thou high and mighty pundits from Lunaville Left, what was that you said about President Bush when he tried to start some faith-based poverty programs?
Separation of Church and State, I believe, was the theme of the ranting?
So just what would you call this?!?! Not to mention the fact that, unlike President Bush, he had the unmitigated gall to essentially, place himself on an equal partnership footing with God? I'm not religious by hardly any normal definition of the term, but even I observed this as a demonstration of hubris unequaled by any other politician in my lifetime. It was also reported by one of the participants that the hold music prior to the call being opened was the music used for the Third Reich's anthem, Deutchland uber Alles !!
Yes, I'm aware the music itself is really Op 76 No 3 "Emperor" string quartet in C. by Hayden; it's a lovely piece of music and was only appropriated by the Nazi regime for it's anthem with words attached to it entirely unrelated to the music...as was the "twisted cross" symbol of the Regime; but to play music with such connotations attached to it by that foul Regime to a group of JEWS ?!?)

Is this man just TRYING to find rock bottom in his demonstrations of naivete, hubris, or plain pathological stupidity?

BTW...if those "death panels" in the ObamaCare proposals that were decried by many, such as Sarah Palin, were truly non-existent, (at least as a possibility) just what did Teh WON mean about "WE (the government and religious leaders) being the ones to make life and death decisions" in regard to health care?

I just hope he remembers, THIS time, the Jews WILL be armed, and the general population will be standing shoulder to shoulder with them.

"Education is useless without the Bible." "In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people." -- Noah Webster (In the forward of the 1828 Webster's American Dictionary)

"It is the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the SUPREME BEING, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe."-- John Adams

"The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities impressed with it."--James Madison

Really sounds like the Founders were really seriously concerned with a separation of Church and State, doesn't it?

For all the vigor that Secularists expound on this so-called "bedrock" principle in our Nation's public ethos, I defy them to show ONE example of that being demonstrated in ANY of our Founding documents, or by any public statement of ANY of the Founders. It simply doesn't exist. Religion was more a part of everyday life in that era, and the Founders had every expectation that that condition would remain to our modern day; they had no conception of separating their religious convictions from their public ones; indeed, their religious convictions formed the BASE for their public convictions and their subsequent actions.

They rebelled against England not because of some amorphous feeling of dissatisfaction, but because they felt that the Crown was infringing upon and denying them the rights that they considered to be their birthright gift from GOD.

In that one way, our Constitution is unique in all the world, as it enumerates certain basic rights that are bestowed on every Citizen by virtue of being a child of God, and that the State may not infringe upon. In other words; those rights are inherent, and are not bestowed to the People by the State, but by a Higher Authority. It also recognizes that Higher Authority to be greater than the power of the State itself.

I believe that this is the greatest cause of the divisions we are experiencing in our political arguments today; a large segment of our political class have forgotten that they are NOT the be-all and end-all final Authority in the lives of our citizenry. Even those of our Citizens that do not profess any certain sect of religion still share in the common Ethos provided, in the most part, by the Judeo-Christian traditions and beliefs. Without that common ethos, the system begins to break down, and in the end, that lack of a common Ethos WILL lead to tyranny as surely as the sun rises in the East..

"Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that
freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our
innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot
endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to
that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail
hereditary bondage on them." --Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms, 6 July 1775

"What this country needs are more unemployed politicians."
-Edward Langley, (1928 - 1995)

Either we unemploy the current crop of Congresscritters, or we shall surely have to take up arms to regain our freedom.

"With respect to the two words 'general welfare,' I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." --James Madison

There you have it, right from the horses mouth. The Progressives would have you believe that the Federal government is,and of a right, SHOULD be, the final "safety net" for those on the low side of the spectrum. As you can see from the quote above, that was as far from the Founders original intent as it's possible to get.

The Founders believed in the equality of OPPORTUNITY, not the equality of outcome. The Federal government has usurped powers unto itself that are far beyond what the Constitution granted it, and it's up to US to rein that out of control animal back in line.

The Founders knew that a strong Federal Government would ALWAYS lead to tyranny, and took great pains to limit that central government to prevent said tyranny; WE have been lax in guarding against the pernicious gathering of Federal authority since the days of Woodrow Wilson and all but ceded control to the Government under Franklin Roosevelt, with the natural result of ever increasing intrusions upon our personal liberties ever since.

The Federal government is like a locomotive barreling down a steep slope, gaining speed and momentum at a geometric rate, I pray that we can get the brakes to hold to bring the train to a stop, but I fear it has reached the point where only a bloody derailment will accomplish that goal.
