Obama worship

[Wetzelbill]

There is one thing I can't stand about Dems is the Obama worship. Republicans would never ever do anything like that.

2. Highly distubing video...the poor kids

[Wetzelbill]

4. that whole movie is chilling

There are things in that film that are borderline child abuse, it disturbed me. I'm a Christian, but there are parts when they make children cry etc, it's not pleasant to watch.

I'd like to know how many times those camps put up life sized pictures of Bill Clinton to pray to? Or did they have one of Obama this summer? Maybe they did, I'd be curious to see it if they did.

7. Similarly, from Greenwald....

"National Review's Jay Nordlinger -- and others at that magazine -- are upset that a school is showing a year-old video in which various celebrities spout feel-good platitudes about public service, and -- for a fleeting second -- Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher vow to "be of service to the President." This sentiment -- a desire to serve the President -- is something conservatives would never adopt, apparently:

When I read about that celebrity video where they say, “I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama,” I thought that the people do not deserve to be American citizens, because they have no idea what America or a liberal republic is. . . . Also, it strikes me that "I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama" is the product of a thoroughly secular mind, which is another marker of contemporary America. . . . Did conservatives ever say “I pledge to be of service to Ronald Reagan”? I never heard it -- and the notion is preposterous.

I'm always amazed -- even though I know I shouldn't be -- at people's capacity simply to block out events, literally refuse to acknowledge them, when they are inconsistent with their desire to believe things. Do Nordlinger and the other National Review political experts really not know about this episode, obviously much more consequential than some admittedly creepy though entirely trivial moment in a celebrity "pledge" video:"

8. yeah he's been on this stuff lately

He went after Broder today too. Good post.

9. Neither for me I have been saved by the Holy Order of the Wetzelbill

and simply await my orders.

[Wetzelbill]

10. I could use some food

that would work for starters.

[grantcart]

11. and only if you could prove that you are THE REAL Wetzelbill I would oblige

You could commission a miracle and present me with a basket full of food, for example.


Then I would know that you are the final prophet of Wetzelbilerum.

[Wetzelbill]

12. I suppose you would want to see my birth certificate

Unfortunately that's in a vault in the foreign country of the Blackfeet Reservation.

13. Where these kids allowed to "opt out"?

[Amos Moses]

14. I was looking for that video the other day.

Thanks for posting it. BTW, what was that jibberish the old woman was saying after she said "do some warfare over him"? :rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

15. speaking in tongues

I was raised Catholic, but I would go to church with some of my friends from evangelical families sometimes and I would hear people talk in it hear and there. It's a pretty different experience, I never knew what to totally make of it.

[Amos Moses]

16. I had heard of people doing that but never heard anyone actually

doing it. Sounds pretty crazy. :crazy:

[Wetzelbill]

27. oh yes

I've heard it often, like I said I never knew what to think of it, a pretty different experience.

[Chester Berthum]

17. HA!

I see you appreciate irony!

[Wetzelbill]

29. oh yes

I love it. :) Sometimes it's hard to get my posts when I do this sort of thing too. This one was pretty obvious though.

[Clio the Leo]

18. So are you saying I should take this down from above my mantle?

[Phx_Dem]

21. I'm confused. Is he the Messiah or the anti-Christ?

Or, as they are now saying he's the Pied Fucking Piper who's going to steal our children. I wish the GOP would make up its mind.

I guess that's easier said than done when don't have one.

[Clio the Leo]

23. Well.........

.... he's the Messiah AND the Pied Piper but NOT the Anti-Christ or Hitler.

At least that's my take on it anyway. ;)

[Phx_Dem]

24. Okay then.

:fistbump:

[gaspee]

19. Gotta

Start that brainwashing young for it to take.

[Wetzelbill]

28. If you've seen that film

Those are some really good kids too. It bothered me to watch it because the one lady was pretty damn harsh with them. That film didn't sit well with me at all.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

20. Worship huh? Where the fuck is the special camp for Obama? I missed that.

He's our democratic president and deserves at the very least a modicum of support. I guess you confuse that with worship though. What I reckon you're referring to is mostly a defense against a constant barrage of criticism from all sides. You know what I hate? People on DU who have no problem citing right-wing BS in their efforts to tear Obama down. Unreced whiner.

[Wetzelbill]

26. you're either a moron, a Republican

or you didn't bother to look at the post.

[Critters2]

22. Do ya suppose they were praying over Obama this summer?

I'm guessing prob'ly not.

[Phx_Dem]

25. All I know is I'm praying FOR him because things are getting scary.

P.S. CUTE beagle. I have 3 so I'm partial.
