To borrow a phrase from our beloved leader, President Barack Obama: Let me be clear. I actually dont give a tinkers damn about Obamas faith. Todays column is not about the nature of the God to whom Obama does or doesnt pray. Whether Obama chooses to acknowledge the facts that a) God exists and b) His only begotten Son died for our sins is of significantly less import to me than say his outright refusal to acknowledge the facts that a) our nation is guided by Constitutional dictates and b) he doesnt outrank them. Obamas own relationship or lack thereof with the Almighty might cause him a few headaches closer to the finale of his mortal coil, but his relationship or lack thereof with the rule of law has caused the American people to reach for the aspirin on a fairly regular basis. Simply put: Obamas belief in God cant possibly be any less sincere than his relationship with the millions upon millions of Americans who have suffered mightily as a result of his belief in himself. Lying to God is a futile endeavor. Lying to the American people is clearly not.
Indeed, ever since Obama sprung fully formed from the brain of the terrorist Bill Ayers like a minor Greek deity emerging from Zeus forehead, any questions regarding any aspect of Obamas character, whether they wonder about his upbringing, his compatriots, his grades and/or his spirituality have been met with the same response: Thats r****t. When Americans heard the shocking anti-American and even anti-human bile that passed for homilies in Jeremiah Wrights church, the media dutifully dismissed Obamas decades of attendance as meaningless. Besides, only rubes, rednecks and embittered gun-owning hicks actually believe in such outdated concepts as God and religion.
Yet last week, the same media that has dutifully shielded Obama from criticism or even basic interrogatives on the topic of religion suddenly decided they simply had to know how Barry got on with God. After more than six years of insisting Obamas spiritual fiber had no bearing on Obamas p**********l acumen, The Washington Post changed its mind on the topic. And thus did it seek out the ultimate font of all knowledge regarding Obama and religion: the governor of Wisconsin.
While Walker was attending the National Governors Conference in Washington, he was asked to render an opinion on Obamas faith. Said Walker: I dont know
Ive never asked him that
Youve asked me to make statements about people that I havent had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?
In reality, the question was a blatant attempt to get Walker. And in reality, the only people who pardon the phrase got got were the same liberals who consider Obama above reproach. By attempting to ensnare Walker in a rhetorical trap, they made Obamas spirituality an acceptable topic. By trying to trip Walker, they shone the spotlight on Obama and not the nice, professional, spot/key/fill lighting they use to stage Obamas photo ops. In asking Walker about Obamas religious beliefs, the Democrats have managed to reintroduce spirituality to the list of qualifications a p**********l aspirant requires. Furthermore and this ones the real doozy by asking Walker whether or not he believes Obama is a Christian, theyve made Walker an expert and put Obamas religion back in the arena. After all, if the governor of Wisconsin is expected to render an informed opinion about the Christianity of the president of the United States, then the rest of us can certainly be expected to render informed opinions about the same.
To his credit, Walker demurred. I doubt he spends much time reflecting on the topic. Walker has been at or near the top of the liberal h**e list for a few years now. Given the unprecedented amount of cash the Democrats sugar daddies and mommies are willing to shovel into any effort to damage anyone and/or anything that threatens their grip on our collective throats, that has t***slated into some busy days for Walker. The man has a state to run. When union thugs are actively trying to turn your home and even your parents house into a cold-weather California, the religious preferences of a lawyer from Chicago are meaningless.
I know a great many people some of whom are far from stupid who are convinced Obama is a Muslim. Interestingly, I know of no one, conservative or not, who insists Obama is a Christian. As Ive noted before, Im of the opinion that Obama ascribes to no religion of any sort. He was forged in the kiln of socialism; educated at the altar of l*****t icons like Alinsky, Davis and Drew, themselves all products of standard c*******t indoctrination. Add to that mix his deliberately murky background, his Ayers launching pad and the vehemently anti-everyone and -everything babble to which the aforementioned Reverend Wright subjects his parishioners, and then top it off with the weirdly egocentric behavior that has produced more p**********l selfies than national successes. The result is a man who almost certainly must be an atheist. To phrase it the way my grandfather who, like most of his generation, said only what they meant and nothing more might have: Anyone that far up his own posterior has no room for God. (Papa would not have said posterior.)
Some would take Obamas laser-like focus on protecting the evidently thin-skinned followers of Muhammad from any sort of offense as proof that Obama is just a Hajj from being a full-on, five-times-a-day, prayer-rug-in-the-Oval Office Muslim. His odd fixation on refusing to identify Islamic terrorists as either Islamic or terrorist does allow for the question to be asked. I would respond by noting that Obama has the same affinity for i*****l a***ns, tax c***ts who work for MSNBC, rappers who use b*tch when they mean woman, and violent criminals who may or may not resemble his imaginary children. If it runs counter to the basic concepts of decency, tolerance and/or America, Obama reflexively supports it. Thats not religion; thats politics. And in the world of l*****t political thinking, religion is at best a malady, at worst the enemy. Obama is likely no more a Christian than he is a Muslim, Jew or Zoroastrian. Obama believes in Obama.
Walkers response when asked to assess Obamas religion was perfect. He deflected the topic to Obama, who will spend the next two years dreading having to provide a response, should anyone actually decide to ask him instead of the governor of a Midwestern state. He furthermore reintroduced the topic of faith to p**********l politics. Whether or not America is a spiritual nation will always be a topic of discussion. Whether or not Americans are a spiritual people is settled; we really, really are. And, of course, he sent the Democrats into epic histrionics; and you just cant put a price on that kind of fun.
