Disinviting God to the Inauguration
The left demands an event without the Bible or prayers.
Liberals booed God at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte last year after skittish party officials reinserted a mention of him in the platform. Nothing has changed since then. The latest secularist push of the party is to remove God from the inauguration. Prominent liberals are questioning the use of the Bible for the presidential oath and the use of prayers in the ceremony.
They have already made some progress in their demands. In 2009, Obama upset them by selecting vaguely conservative pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation. But this year Obama has chosen a non-minister and unimpeachably liberal figure to deliver it — the widow of Medgar Evers.
Obama’s decision to go outside of the clergy for the invocation, which is a historic first, met with the approval of the chattering class. They felt that that would give a nice lowest-common-denominator touch to the proceedings. No need to bring in the clergy unnecessarily. They were also pleased to hear that Obama named a Cuban-born homosexual as the inaugural poet and asked the Gay and Lesbian Band Association to march in the parade.
But Obama stumbled badly in their eyes in his selection of a pastor to deliver the benediction — Atlanta’s Louie Giglio. Last week Obama hastily corrected his error after liberal activists ferreted out a sermon Giglio delivered in the 1990s objecting to the homosexual agenda. Giglio, recognizing the seriousness of his thought crime, meekly accepted his banishment, abjectly noting that he hadn’t repeated those remarks in over a decade.
Giglio’s presence threatened the “diversity” of the event, agreed the Obama administration. George Orwell would have enjoyed the selection of that word for strict uniformity of thought. Who will replace Giglio? Liberal websites and gay groups quickly drew up a list of “gay-friendly” clergy to help the White House. Numbered on the list was Fr. Jim Martin, a Jesuit who serves as the Colbert Report’s “official chaplain. Others suggested that the White House tap an atheistic astronomer or physicist for the duties. After all, why would Obama need God’s blessings? Doesn’t that already imply a violation of modern America’s understanding of itself?
Indeed, the Giglio flap just reminded liberals of the odious theistic traditions that still cling to the inauguration, prompting them to ask: Why have a benediction at all? Why invite clergy to the stage in the first place? And why should the president swear his oath with his hand placed on the Bible?
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, who sees the Bible as hate literature, considers the spectacle of Obama placing his hand on it “absurdist.” He should place his hand on something he truly honors, like the shoulder of one of his daughters, argues O’Donnell. To swear an oath on a risible and racist book, he continued, suggests a lack of seriousness.
Lost on O’Donnell is that Obama doesn’t believe in the Constitution any more than he believes in the Bible. So the oath is absurdist from the start. But O’Donnell is right that Obama doesn’t honor the Bible, a concession liberals usually don’t like to make. Unlike the Koran, which he has lavishly praised as a holy book, Obama considers the Bible flawed and in need of modern revision. It is not as inerrant in his eyes as the platform of the Democratic Party. Obama has called some of St. Paul’s writings “obscure” and mocked passages from the Old Testament. (Notice that liberals no longer try to spin the Book of Leviticus as a condemnation of inhospitality, not homosexuality. O’Donnell acknowledged that Giglio got in trouble for simply “quoting the Bible” correctly. The left’s contempt for the Bible has never been more open.)
While Obama agrees with O’Donnell that the Bible is hate literature, he is not yet ready to drop it from the ceremony. He prefers to turn the heat up on the frogs a little more slowly. Moreover, he likes the syncretistic blending of old and new in the baptisms of modern liberalism. He finds the appropriation of religious symbols for his own purposes useful.
Most revolutionaries do. Even Napoleon invited the clergy to his coronation, though he made sure to give them poor seating, as they passively watched the leader crown himself. Modern liberalism is a continuation of such godless self-coronations, but the need to dupe the public requires that it move more slowly than the O’Donnells like.

Von Mises Jr| 1.16.13 @ 7:05AM
Times already are a whole lot worse around the globe due to this regime and similar regimes around the world. It sucks to be a Coptic Christian in Egypt right now and Obama helped force Mubarak out and the Muslim Brotherhood in. It sucks to be the Libyan Ambassador now since he is dead. It sucks to be in Syria or Sudan as we join in arming or killing one side or the other, sometimes helping Al Qaeda and sometimes killing them with drones. It sucks to be in Greece or Spain right now since they are broke and rioting. And it sucks to be in Mexico where Obama and Holder armed drug gangs with 2,500 AK-47's to kill a Beauty Queen and school children, as well as sucking to be Brian Terry's parents who is also dead. And it sucks if you live in America and used to have a job in the oil industry, coal mining, banking, mortgages or any industry that had to let you go to pay more taxes to Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
It is just starting to suck in the rest of America as we had a stolen election, an Imperial President or perhaps after this afternoon a Dictator, a near depression and diminished wealth. Other than that, Obama has been great for the world and America.

Lincoln was at best a non believing, unbaptised, agnostic. At worst he was an atheist. King on the oher hand was was a trained revererend named after the father of Protestantism. At least Obama is giving in to tradition and using the Bible. I would guess his personal beliefs are close to atheism. He may have been a Muslim when he was a child and a pretend Christian later in life But he hates religion as do his core supporters. We had a choice this last elction between a Mormon who was gay friendly and who was for abortion most of his career and Obama who may respect the Koran but hates it's restrictions on homosexuality,abortion, and infanticide. We really haven't had many real Christians as President. In fact I find it hard to think of any?
C. Vernon Crisler | 1.16.13 @ 9:33AM
Where is your evidence that Lincoln was agnostic or an atheist? Lincoln scholars believe he came to a greater theistic faith during the Civil War.

End of Mature Lincoln's 3nd InauguralSpeech:
." Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other.
...
The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.
The Almighty has His own purposes....
Fondly do we hope--fervently do we pray--that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether."
With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations...."
thinkingabovemypaygrade| 1.18.13 @ 1:49PM
Maybe young Lincoln was skeptical. But read mature Lincoln...especially as the Civil War was winding down. The second Inaugural Address...shows his deep understanding of Scripture. Much of his speech (especially last several paragraphs) is more like a sermon of repent and reconciliation than a political speech. And an account I read notes...that many of his hearers recognized this fact...http://www.abrahamlincolnsclassroom.org/Library/newsletter.asp?ID=17&CRLI=94
Note also that Lincoln, after taking the Oath, kissed the Bible. This action does not "guarantee" one is a believer, but it certainly is not a required gesture for a President elect.

Lincoln never belonged to a church, never was baptised, and had a huge reputation as a religious scoffer. Again you boys never refute just name call. It always the same Fifth Columnists. They love Lincoln because he schredded the Constitution and made total war. That is what you followers of Trotsky want is total war for total worldwide revolution. Now you claim it is for Demcratic Revolution, not the Communist Revolution of Trotsky and your parents. I still can't think of a religious President. Well maybe Wilson and Carter? But we all know what a pair of phonies they were.

No, we love Lincoln because he saved the Union -- this country -- and freed three million human beings from bondage.

Well, the last I heard obama is using two Bibles, one that Lincoln used and one that MLK used.
But it doesnt matter what he swears on, for many of us there is no comfort that he nor his friends follow the same "guidelines" we follow, those old, useless, ten commandments, nor that hateful, racist constitution.
CJW| 1.16.13 @ 7:32AM
If Obama was honest he would swear on a copy of the DNC platform statement or one of Rev Wright's speeches.
We all know he does not believe in the Consititution or the Bible.
Given what an arrogant narcissist totalitarian he is , it would not be a surprise if Obama used a copy of his books Audacity of Hope, or Dreams of my Father for the swearing ceremony.

I started writing about this TWO YEARS AGO, and they Laughed.
Atheist Communist Mother. Muslim Marxist Father. Communist Grandparents. Communist Mentor. Marxist Mentor. Cop Killers. Bomb Throwers. Foreign and Domestic Terrorists. Nation of Islam. Black Panthers. Cloward and Piven. Saul ALINSKY. And a Book written by ALINSKY - Rules for Radicals - which has been the Guidepost for everything he has done hie entire Adult Life.
A Book dedicated to LUCIFER.
"And I saw the Beast rise from the Sea. (the world of politics) And he was given a MOUTH to speak Haughty and Blasphemoues words. And he was allowed to exercise authority for forty two months. Revelation 13-5.
This Prophacy has been attacked for its reference to the timeline: 42 Months.
As it was written 2,000 years ago, and has since been translated from Hebrew to Greek to Latin, and then to English. And that's not even taking in to account what was misconstrued in the Oral accountings. I, for one, am more than willing to give John of Patmos the benefit of the doubt. There are many words in the original Script, that vary in their meaning from one Culture to another. From one Language to another.
This THING in the White House has been foretold. In Revelation. In every military Man and Woman's OATH, as well as every Public Officials OATH OF OFFICE. : Protect the Constitution from all enemies. Both Foreign and DOMESTIC. He is why we have the Second Amendment. He is why Americans are Arming Themselves for the Coming Storm.
Von Mises Jr| 1.16.13 @ 8:03AM
We will find out very soon if Obama declares major Decrees like Stalin, Hitler and Mao over the people in sweeping measures as he has already done with lesser issues such as DOMA and the Dream (nightmare) Act. While we are told it is politically incorrect to compare Obama and his Czars with these totalitarian monsters, but they ruled the same as we are seeing from Dear Leader Obama. And we know how it turned out for the Russians, Germans, Chinese and other groups such as the Polish, Jews and Japanese.

Do not despair my friends. Once confronted by rightous people the bully will quickly run and hide. He who rules by being a bully and a liar will find he has no support when the people finally challemge him.
Our generals and admirals are doing their Constitutional duty. They are waiting on us, "We the People" to do what we ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY BOUND TO DO, remove the government when we see fit. Once we move to do so we will find that our generals and admirals will obey the Constitution and stand down.
In the coming days Obama will be no different than pharoh. He will decide his own fate. Anything he attempts to do to us he will have done to himself. If he tries to disarm us, it is us, "WE the People", that will disarm us. Anything he tries to do to us, will be done to him.
This dictator wannabe has misjudged the will of the American people. We will not go without a fight, and this coward will not stand to fight. Once he sees us unit, he will go somewhere else and life his life ut with his ill gotten booty.

"They are waiting on us, "We the People" to do what we ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY BOUND TO DO, remove the government when we see fit"
You seem to have a short memory. The American people acted last November 7th and reelected this man. The people don't want freedom, they want goodies and "stuff".
There are far many more ignorant stiffs who would just prefer to sit at home and collect a government check, then there are people who think like you and I.
My solution you ask? Let Obama do whatever the hell he wants. He'll implode the country, and then all of these leaches of society who voted for him will be left floundering for dead when the chickens come home to roost.
You would do well as to stock up on guns and ammunition. They are the only thing keeping you from the revolution and the anarchy that is to come. And trust me, when the system defaults on itself and the checks stop coming, you'll see anarchy in the streets. Wait for it...
Stkman| 1.16.13 @ 11:45AM
Murl,
Back in 1770 the patriots were only about 20% of the population. In 1776 it still wasn't 50% of the poulation. We are not required to let an enemy destroy this nation. We are bound by the Constitution to protect it.
If we take your suggestion what happens if you are wrong and the takers win? You would put your family, your children though something like that?
These bullies that are the liberals do not have numbers. They are just loud. I also do not beleive the election was a 50/50 vote. I feel many votes were thrown in the trash or not counted. We have the numbers and we have the resolve. The liberals are like any other bully, they back down when confronted with a greater force. We are that greater force.

TLP's brilliant biblical interpretations include his expressed belief that Hitler was the "hunter" sent by God to cleanse and purify the Jews with the Holocaust. I think the Westboro Baptist Church is where your theological home is, TLP.
DRed| 1.16.13 @ 12:38PM
Where have I heard nonsense like that before? Oh, that's right, from the middle east:
As translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Al-Qaradawi said that “throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler.”
TLP| 1.16.13 @ 1:11PM

TLP| 1.16.13 @ 2:43PM
I have no problem standing by Jeremiah.
I have given you what I believe is the Truth, regarding Jeremiah's Prophesy.
WWII ended in 1945.
Israel was reinstated as a Nation, in 1945.
Just because it was Hitler?
The Philistines is okay? The Persians is okay? The Babylonians is okay? Read the Book of Esther.
The Jews went through the Crucible of the Holocaust, and came away with a Jewish Sate, just as Jeremiah Prophesized. That is not even arguable.
God works in mysterious ways.
"MY ways are not your ways."
If you've got PROOF that I'm wrong?
Let's hear it. Or, STFU.
I stand by Jeremiah, as well as my belief that you are Less than Nothing.
DRed| 1.16.13 @ 3:04PM
No, you idiot, the problem is that you're saying the Jewish people had the holocaust coming to them.
And if you're talking about Jeremiah, the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem soon after he died. If you're wondering what threats he saw coming, it's pretty obvious who he's taking about.
TLP| 1.16.13 @ 4:35PM
I never said they had it coming to them.
Unless, you can show otherwise. Which you can't. So, once again, you're just spouting Sh*t.
What a surprise.
DRed| 1.16.13 @ 4:59PM
Says the guy who doesn't even understand the book of the bible he's talking about.
Let's think this through. God punishes the Jews by having Hitler kill 6 million or so of them. Clearly God must be punishing them for something, right? Therefore, they had it coming.
Shit, Timmy, are you really telling me you're so thick headed that you don't even understand your own arguments? Because I'd believe you.
TLP| 1.16.13 @ 5:04PM
I never said that they had it coming.
Apparently God thought that,they did.
Take it up with HIM.
Occam's Tool| 1.16.13 @ 10:02PM
I'm not sure G-d thought they had it coming either, Tim. Satan has a role in this too, you know. The Germans are dying out as a people, with one of the lowest birthrates in modern history. (So are the Japanese, and the Italians. The Israelis, on the other hand, have THE highest birthrate in the Western World.)
But RCV, Tim is a Jew and Israeli supporter. Why don't we reason rather slam each other, eh? (Unless it's Cheesehead Jack. That man is beyond redemption.)
RCV| 1.17.13 @ 12:27AM
The philosophy he spouts about the Holocaust is vile, Occam. Demonic really. To say thatour God believed the Jews collectively deserved punishment, that God sent Hitler to murder 6 million innocent Jewish children, men and women because the Jewish people needed "cleansing" is so vile a notion, Occam, that it literally makes me sick. No decent human being could believe that. And you really shame yourself and the Jewish people by consorting with such a truly evil person.
DRed| 1.17.13 @ 12:42AM
What kind of supporter of the Jewish people thinks they deserved the holocaust as a punishment for their sins? A deeply stupid one. I know Tim's on your side generally, and you like him, but he's an idiot. Notice how he's not even man enough to stand behind his opinion? He hides behind his idiotic interpretation of the bible because he wants to avoid responsibility for his own ignorance. It's not Tim's fault that he holds reprehesiblystupid beliefs-it's God's!
Tim won't listen to me, but he likes you, so maybe you can explain to him how Jeremiah's warnings weren't some obscure prophecy about what would happen 2000 years into the future but were instead a warning to his contemporaries about the looming Babylonian threat.
Seek| 1.16.13 @ 7:30PM
You're a little off on your history, TLP. The modern Israeli state formally came into being in 1948, not 1945.
RCV| 1.16.13 @ 3:36PM
Well, let Occam take you to Skokie next time he goes there, and you explain to the Jews whose families were wiped out in the Shoah how Hitler was God's instrument and how their deaths were just punishment for the "inquities" of the Jewish people. You're filth, TLP.
TLP| 1.16.13 @ 4:37PM

Obama is the reason that Israel is encircled by the Radical Islamists.
Obama is the reason that we cannot retrieve our own Energy Resources, and must, instead, continue to send our Enemies hundreds of Billion$ for THEIR Energy Resources.
Obama is actively pursuing the Decimation of our Military Forces, at a time when the World is Burning, and our Enemies our Building Up their Military Readiness.
Obama sends his Thugs in to the streets to Push and Shove and Threaten and Intimidate those who would DARE oppose him.
Obama has overseen the Return of the South American Marxist Huntas. He sought to PUNISH Honduras, for throwing out their would be Presidente for Life, as a way to curry favour with the Marxist Regimes, South of the Border. (Wikileaks)
Obama has shattered any semblance of Alliance, with our Traditional Allies. Only the Socialists have his ear.
Obama seeks "REVENGE" against this Country.
Obama seeks "REVENGE" against the Jews.
Obama seeks to Destroy the Christian Church by making its Holy Tenents and Beliefs, Illegal.
Hamas believes that he was SENT by their God of Rape and Incest and Murder, to Destroy the Jews, and return Jerusalem to the Muslims. They have given him the name: ABU HUSSAIN - Son of the Father. He is their Moses and their Christ.
And: He is Death. Destroyer of Worlds.
Of that, I have no doubt.
Stkman| 1.16.13 @ 11:48AM
Yes Tim, once again you are right. Obama is the reason for the season, and the season is coming to harvest time. He will reap what he sows. He will find that there are enough of us to put a stop to him and his agenda. We don't need Congress to do it. We now know that Congress has no allegiance to the country or the Constitution.

Why even take the oath at all, when he can just sign his name on a contract with that famous "Autopen" of his? The retarded crowd standing there freezing in front of their beloved Dictator, waiting for more free shit after the show's fianlly over will go completely wild!! AUTO-PEN, O-BAM-A, AUTO-PEN!! Is there "anything" sacred left to the Left in this Country anymore? God, religion, Country, tradition, family,... anything? Oh yeah, I forgot,... killing babies, raising taxes, even bigger Government, cutting the Military, promoting illegal immigration, shredding whatever's left of the Constitution, and anything that's gay related!! Is this what this Country has become? Lord in Heaven above, I hope not!! These next four years can't come to an end fast enough for me!! I pray to God that there's something still worth saving by then!! This is a test of our faith as a Nation, and I think we're failing it!!

I'll say it again, folks, freeze-dried food and ammunition. Also, I just bought several thousnd $ worth of pre-'65 US coins. 90% silver by weight. And in addition to the food stash I'm building I may add a bottle of whiskey every couple of weeks. Always good for trade.

Yes, and as Von Mises and I have recommended, add brass to your portfolio.
TLP| 1.16.13 @ 2:53PM
Portfolio?
When it hits the fan, the only thing your Portfolio will be good for, is to start the fire you'll need to cook that Squirrel you caught in your yard, in Wilton.
Food, Weapons, Fuel, Generators, Batteries, Warm Clothing, and Medical Supplies.
I love ya, Anthony, but I don't think you've thought this through, to its logical conclusion.
Think: 1929 x 10.
Pecos Pete| 1.16.13 @ 3:48PM
Whoa. Brass = Bullets. I have a lot of these in my portfolio.
But, because you are Beautiful, you get a pass. This time.
Pecos Pete| 1.16.13 @ 3:50PM
You are almost correct though with 1929 X 10. I'd only suggest that it will be more like 2000 BC. You know, cave man style.

Lullabys,
All the things you have mentioned didn't happen because of Obama, or even the liberals. It happened because we let it happen. It happened because we we listen too much to weak minded pastors and priest who tell us to live and let live. The Bible tell us to despise sin and to despise those who refuse to turn away from sin.
The question is, is it too late for those of us who want a Constitutional government to now stand firm and do what most think is impossible. Band together and push the liberals back. I think we can, but nit through our Congress. Boehnor has shown he has no loyalty to the people or the Constitution. Nor does he have the backbone to confront anyone over anything, including the utter destruction of this country.
Don L| 1.16.13 @ 11:55AM
You are so perfectly right. It is all of us that wished to believe the lies of the secular deceivers.
Stormy| 1.16.13 @ 8:48AM
Obama is starting to come out of the closet fully now. It will not be long before we start to see his entire gig. But, even then, there are those who will not, can not, see what they have for a president. Words fail me as to what that is.
Stkman| 1.16.13 @ 10:40AM
Imbicile, is that the word you are looking for, or is it dillusional?
Anthony| 1.16.13 @ 11:28AM
Oh good Stormy, that means Obozo will now re-open the JFK sexual romp swimming pool in the West Wing, replete with Obozo's favorite bath house.
Who has tickets to Obozo's Inagural party with the Village People??
kat| 1.16.13 @ 8:53AM
I am truly dismayed at Giglio's backing down. Where are the Elijahs? In any event, little do the God-haters realize how much contempt He really holds for them (Psalm 2). I would be very afraid if I were them, but a fool cannot comprehend the fear of the Lord.
Appleby| 1.16.13 @ 9:07AM
Speak of the Devil and he will appear, as my Southern Granny used to say. If you want an easy-to-understand book on this subject, C.S. Lewis' final book of the Narnia Chronicles, "The Last Battle", will give you all the information you need. NOTE: This one will never be made into a movie. The enemies in it are Muslims.
Citizen Jerry| 1.16.13 @ 10:46AM
Likewise for the Narnian book "The Horse and His Boy." The prime villain is called Rabadash the Ridiculous. And the Calormen's monetary unit is the crescent.
Dave Williams| 1.16.13 @ 9:28AM
The re-inauguration....right down there with the Golden Globes, Oscars, Emmys, and anything to do with the Kardashians and Honey Boo-Boo, as events that I will take great and profound joy in missing.
It's 475 AD in Rome, and the lights of civilization are going out, one by one. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetimes.

Why would Obama need God's blessing? Good question. He could just bless himself and everyone else at this "diversity fest."

Stkman| 1.16.13 @ 11:52AM
Arnie,
I guess you feel the same way about everyone born before you? Why don't you go count how many times the word Creator or God is used in our Declaration of Independance and our Constitution. Then come back and tell us which country you will be moving to.
Arnie| 1.16.13 @ 11:59AM
The original documents establishing the nation, are fine Stkman. They don't say anything about Christ, Jesus, or an established state religion, so count on that freak.
So please, get the fuck out of the USA you bible-thumping fundies.
Stkman| 1.16.13 @ 12:39PM
You're the one that brough Christ into the discussion. You can deal with him when you meet him.
It was assumed when our founding fathers wrote the aforemetioned documents that the vast majority of Americans did beleive in God. The forefathers purposely wrote the documents so those that did not beleive in God would not be infringed upon.
Based on your comments though, you intepret the Constitution to give non-beleivers the right to infringe upon the beliefs of those who do believe. You are wrong. You also do not understand the concept of seperation of church and state. First of all, it no where in the Constitution. The sepration of Church and state has more to do with Henry the 8th and his founding of the Church of England and outlawing Catholocism than it does protecting the rights of athiest.
Arnie| 1.16.13 @ 12:47PM
"Based on your comments though, you intepret the Constitution to give non-beleivers the right to infringe upon the beliefs of those who do believe."
Not true. You misunderstand me. I would never take any rights away from the religious to practice their religion (of course, in a private, non-state function). I'm just asking you serious fundies to leave. That's it. Please, do it.
spike59| 1.17.13 @ 6:13AM
Arnie, my wife and I live on the land that we bought (at fair market price) from her tribe, the original owners of the property-we're not going ANYWHERE; this is OUR country. might i suggest you and yours slither back to whatever Eurotrash Socialist commune or 3rd world hellhole your ancestors were kicked out of? the statute of limitations on 'cuzzin-marryin' has probably run out by now, you're safe

Let's not forget that the last coron--er--inauguration was so botched, whether deliberately or not, by the Chief Justice, that the oath was taken again later, this time deep in the bowels of the White House Map Room, with just one camera grudgingly rolling. This time, the prop man had conveniently forgotten the Bible, and the oath was re-administered without burden of scripture. (I shudder to think what the president was doing with his left hand.) So there is already precedent for Bible-free presidential swearings-in, and we should be prepared for heavy rain that day, which will be God's tears, as they dust off the Koran.
Seek| 1.16.13 @ 12:14PM
Why is this an issue? I will grant that putting one's hand on the Bible while stating the oath of office is a tradition. But it certainly isn't mandated by the Constitution, which explicitly bars religious tests as a prerequisite for holding public office.
Arnie| 1.16.13 @ 12:17PM
No shit. Thank you Seek.
Nina in MA| 1.16.13 @ 1:31PM
So why not take it out of the court rooms then? Same thing, no? Apparently, swearing on a bible means you have no intention of lying....seems fine with me...oh, wait...nvm forgot who we were talking about.....
SC| 1.18.13 @ 6:43PM
Most Courts HAVE abolished the procedure of swearing in , on the Bible--and use just the recitation that one swears to tell the truth...also omitted the "so help me God " part
I haven't seen any lightning bolts being thrown into the Court room, from on High.....
Stkman| 1.16.13 @ 12:41PM
Seek,
Obama has every right to say to the world he does not beleive in God and refuse to put his hand on a Bible when he is sworn in. No one is stopping him.
Arnie, can you possibly cut down on the four letter words please?

I’ve never been much for symbolism over substance farces… Marx was an atheist and hated the “Jews” and supposedly was one. The Left could swear on a stack of bibles and still practice everything in contrary to what Christ’s teachings say. Whether it is “end times” of the Bible or just our “end times” an awful lot of people had better start acting upon what our enemy does and not wasting energy and time upon what symbolism they practice or not. Time is short…to be worrying about who is excluded from the coronation of the Prince of Darkness.
Buck Ofama| 1.16.13 @ 3:11PM
We in the USSA are supposed to be guaranteed the freedom to worship as we choose.
OVOMIT the Narcissist worships himself, and also worships arab cock (bowing, groveling and sucking on his disgusting AmeriKa-bashing apology tours).
OVOMIT's sycophants worship him and lap up his kenyan shit.
So, I guess you could say that most of these liberal c0cksuckers are worshiping their chosen idols.
They definitely do not acknowledge the Hebrew and Christian god, YHWH.
Watch for increasing ridicule of Christianity, increasing to persecution. No matter.
In general, just recall Luke 21:28: "When you see these things begin to take place, look up for your redemption draweth nigh."
I'm still baffled that sufficient ignorant assh0les voted twice for this g0damned C0CKSUCKER.

Now, pay attention and think critically about this: language is just a sequence of phonems. So if I verbalize the sequence, "fffffff uuuuuuuu k eeee uuuuu, ar seeeeee veeeeeee", what do you think? Is that sequence thus deemed offensive?
I know: God sees the heart. Well, then God sees that in my heart is UTTER DISDAIN and contempt for liberal C0CKSUCKERS. Got it? There will not be a quiz. Now go back to sleep.

Stan Redmond| 1.17.13 @ 1:53PM
Obama is swearing to himself? He is "sort of a god" according to Evan Thomas of Newsweek. He has been declared lord and savior by Jamie Foxx. He is the one we've been waiting for. He is the chosen one. People worship and pray to him. He is a supreme spiritual being and a lightworker. Children sing hymns to him. Throw out that mundane old dusty bible and replace it with "The Audacity of Hope."
