The Cult of Obama

I was perusing the Drudge Report yesterday and I stumbled across a story that really grabbed my attention. Apparently, in a New Jersey grade school, children were taught a song praising B. Hussein Obama and then performed the song. If this isn’t brainwashing, then I’m a card carrying communist. While I find it morally reprehensible for teachers to indoctrinate students rather than teach them reading, writing, and arithmetic, what really disturbs me is the flagrant violation of liberal’s dearly held separation of church and state.

As an academic exercise, let’s compare and contrast the Bible’s claims about Jesus Christ and the media’s claims about B. Hussein Obama. The Bible claims that Christ had control over the weather and the physical world around him. The media claims that Obama will stop global warming and heal the environment. The Bible claims that Jesus came with a new message of hope and change. The media, and Obama himself, claim that he has a new message of hope and change. The Bible claims that Christ is ruler of all. The media, and the president in his recent speech to the U.N., is making the case that HE is the leading citizen of the world. The Bible says that Christ came to save people. The media claims that Obama is here to save us all. Finally, the Bible claims that following Jesus’ teachings are the only way to be saved. The media claims that following Obama’s policies are the only way to save this country and possibly the world.

Whether or not you believe the Bible is irrelevant to the fact that both Jesus Christ and Barrack Obama are entities that are portrayed in a God-like fashion. If students are not allowed to publicly praise and worship Christ in school, they certainly should not be allowed to publicly praise and worship the “deity” that is Obama. This is how cults are started and perpetuated. Impressionable minds are repeatedly assaulted with a belief, while all facts to the contrary are downplayed or out right denied. Teachers should not be complicit in perpetuating the religion of hope and change, rather they should be teaching their students that the president is a man, subject to the constitution, elected by the people of this great nation, who has ideas and opinions that we are free to agree or disagree with as we see fit. This story and the media’s continued fawning over the President is disgusting and falls in the same category of teaching and reporting that you find in third world nations run by pot-bellied, geriatric dictators!!
