Jesus Takes it to the Streets

It sounds like a Doobie Brothers song mashup:

Dressed in flowing robes and thorny crowns, about 400 churchgoers promised their pastor they'd dress like Jesus as a hard-to-miss reminder of the holiday's religious roots.

Members of Praise Chapel Christian Fellowship began showing up that way last week at jobs, shopping malls and restaurants. The demonstration wrapped up Wednesday.

"I know it's a crazy idea," said pastor Kelly Lohrke, whose 600 members attend services in Kansas City, Kan., and nearby Lee's Summit, Mo. "I know it's a radical idea. Christians can have fun with their faith and sharing their faith."

Lohrke said he came up with the idea out of frustration over the removal of crosses, nativity scenes and other religious symbols from public view.

INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS ABUZZ WITH ANGER AT OBAMA FOR INSULTING SMALL TOWN AMERICA

Thought it might be interesting to see what small town America thinks about Obama's uppity view of them. Here is some of what I found:

"Too bad Obama doesn't live in small town Pennsylvania. He might have a better handle on what really motivates these people. They are my family, friends and neighbors and we don't cling to religion, guns and/or xenophobia because of our frustrations. We have had our guns and religion since Pennsylvania was first settled. The xenophobia has varied at times throughout US history. To quantify it along with our other less than stellar attributes is denegrating us. Please, leave our guns and religion out of it. It and you have no business in this aspect of our lives."

This is one of those things that tells you more about the man than any of the news coverage. Obama is a snob. When he is around his peer group, credentialed liberals living around liberal strongholds, he lets loose with the typical stuff we see from our elites. his description of PA is like something out of the travelogue of a British colonial officer.

'The inhabitants of this land we call Pennsylvania are queer folk. They are deeply suspicious of foreigners. They cleave to their tribal superstitions and remained armed all the time. This combination of superstition and fear makes them potentially violent at all times.....'"

"Oh fuck yeah, Bammy, we're so confused we just lash out in bling anger. Lopsided trade agreements and millions of illegals on the dole isn't anything to get our laundry in a bunch over (loads gun and heads for church) Gawd damn..........stupid government deals are making us all bigots (spits ta-backy)"

"Damn...that's messed up.
This is surprising that he would be so foolish to say something like this.
What strikes me the most is to say that "many towns in the Mid-West...cling to antipathy for anyone not like them"
I really take offense to that, that is playing the race card in front of an audience that buys that BS...friggin eats it up...here he is speaking to a crowd of wealthy yuppies in California about those 'red-neck good ole boys...just how are we gonna get through to these tobacco chewing, deer huntin' beer swillin'-toothless, overall wearin bafoons?'"

US Politics Online

"Out of touch, the obamination is the one out of touch. MOST people don't want the government to come in and "fix" things. They want the government to leave them ALONE. People are perfectly capable of fixing things themselves. We built this entire country by fixing things ourselves. It is only when government starts getting involved that it goes bad.

The obamination has the pure marxist view, that religion is bad, Constitutional rights are bad, and the government can fix everything."

NOPC Message Board

There are literally thousand of examples like the above. Or worse. Obama's eltist chickens...are coming home...to roost.

OBAMA TRIES TO WEASEL HIS WAY OUT OF HIS INSULTING OF SMALL TOWN AMERICA

After his spin of his insults of small town America failed miserably, Obama is now doing everything he can to re-characterize his elitist, demeaning comments about small town America. On Friday, Obama made the following statement:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

On Saturday, however, Obama tries to weasel himself away from his Freudian slip:

MUNCIE, Ind. - Democrat Barack Obama on Saturday conceded that comments he made about bitter working class voters who “cling to guns or religion” were ill chosen, as he tried to stem a burst of complaints that he is condescending.

“I didn’t say it as well as I should have,” he said.

As Obama tried to quell the furor, presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton hit him with one of her lengthiest and most pointed criticisms to date.

“Senator Obama’s remarks were elitist and out of touch,” she said, campaigning about an hour away in Indianapolis. “They are not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans.”

The Spin

Perhaps this nation will wake up to the fact that everything that comes from Obama's mouth, despite his constant haranguing about "one America", demonstrates that he himself sees two Americas. Obama see his America, one that he has spent remarkably little time in considering he lived abroad as a child and spent his formative years in Hawaii, and then he sees the other America. Obama's other America, as evidenced by his writings, his religion and his elitism, is an America of ignorant white racist devils clinging to God, guns and hate, who would be better served placing their faith in him and the government rather than God and one another. The truth of the matter is, he knows remarkably little about the pulse of America. His entire view of America comes from his muslim family, his racist pastor, and his marxist/communist mentors. And on Friday, Obama told the American people what he really thinks about them. No take backs bro. You own those statements.

THE MOTHER OF ALL SPINS: OBAMA IGNORES THE INSULTS; PLAYS THE I THINK YOU'RE STUPID CARD

Unbelievable! In his swift attempt to sweep his belittling of America under the rug, Obama gives a speech totally ignoring the things he said about small town America. In his speech, Obama dishonestly tries to re-characterize his statements earlier in the day. Obama now characterizes his statements as only saying that Americans were "bitter". He totally ignores the fact that he implied, earlier in the day, that small town America select their gun toting, Jesus loving, illegal immigrant concerned values only out of frustration with their government. Obama tries to bury his elitism by soliciting anger from his stupified, pineyed, messiah seeking audience. The mother of all spins. Watch:

America sees you Obama. And we hear you too.

OBAMA SLAMS SMALL TOWN AMERICA AS CLINGING TO RELIGION, XENOPHOBIA AND GUNS

The elitist Barack Obama has stuck his bowling shoes in his mouth yet again. At a fundraiser in San Francisco today he stated:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Yeah...OK Obama...Because God, the right to bear arms and illegal immigration didn't exist prior to the Bush and Clinton administrations. How incredibly elitist is this man? And is this the same man that wouldn't throw his own racist church under the bus throwing the religion of the good folks of small town America under the bus? I think Obama was just speaking to his hedonistic San Francisco audience and forgot about the internet. He spoke what he thinks. And now you know what he thinks. You buncha rubes!

SURVEY: 55% OF ARABS SAY OFFENSIVE WORDS JUSTIFY VIOLENCE

We can conclude that the Middle East is not exactly the place to try out new "your momma" jokes.

A YOUGOV poll commissioned by the Doha Debates has concluded that nearly one-third of all Arabs believe that Saudi Arabia is at greater risk from religious extremism than any other country in the world.The poll adds weight to the vote at a session of the Doha Debates held on March 3 in Doha, where the motion “This house believes that Muslims are failing to combat extremism”, was carried by more than 70% of the audience. In the YouGov survey, nearly half of all Arabs in the Gulf, Levant and North Africa said they have met someone who holds extreme religious views. Asked under what conditions violence is permissible, more than 60% cited Western interference in a Muslim country, while 55% said offensive words or behaviour was a trigger. More than half the respondents also believed that poor religious leadership is to blame for today’s extremism – although seven out of 10 said the size of the problem had been exaggerated. Eight out of 10 believed it provides an excuse for the West to interfere in Muslim countries.In the poll, conducted between March 18 and 23, views of 940 people across the Arab world were surveyed.
