For many it is simply a sign of his charisma. But for a growing number of Barack Obama sceptics, there is something disturbing about the adulation with which the senator and Democratic presidential frontrunner is greeted as he campaigns for the White House - unnervingly akin to the hysteria of a cult, or the fervour of a religious revival.

...


There is "something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism" deployed by the black senator and his supporters, observed Joe Klein, the veteran political commentator the first to latch on to the political potency of Bill Clinton, then an obscure Arkansas governor, early in the 1992 White House campaign.


...


Dr Sean Wilentz, a Princeton historian and stern critic of the current administration of George W.Bush, said: "What's troubling about the campaign is that it's gone beyond hope and change to redemption."
When Oprah Winfrey endorsed Mr Obama in Iowa last month she proclaimed: "I believe he is The One."


<!--MPU BLOCKED BY PAGECLASS-->At the campaign's "Camp Obama" - a training programme run ahead of primaries in key states - volunteers are schooled to avoid talking to voters about policy, and instead tell of how they "came" to Obama, just as born-again Christians talk about "coming to Jesus."

...

Millions of people have watched a "Yes We Can" video (http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1137942530/bclid1155254697/bctid1417315702) on YouTube, in which celebrities including Scarlett Johansson and the Black Eyed Peas sing the words to an Obama speech in what Mr Brooks describes as "escalating states of righteousness and ecstacy."


He added: "If that video doesn't creep out normal working-class voters, then nothing will."
Yay, the new black supremacist messiah is gonna usher in "change" for America (change as in a transition from a constitutional representative republic to a full-fledged marxist state)!

Question: When Obama talks about a "post-racial America" what exactly do you folks think he means???

He is America's worst nightmare. The kind that starts out seeming great.

I know that by the time the general election comes around someone is gonna say "Obama bless you".

Seriously, with this kind of religious fervor, what is going to happen should he lose the election?

B.O. is a god because atheism to the left is their black tar heroin, the kind that congeals at the bottom of the spoon that you lick off after injecting the more viscous kind that you already shot into your femoral vein.

Atheism makes gods here, on earth. That is its calling. And so Hitlers are made, not born. Because man will always want a god, even in his atheism because (as anthropology has proven) all cultures are theistic despite our modern day, and very 'brave' poses by atheist macho men that say otherwise.

In the end, man is a religious creature. Take away his God, he becomes even more craven to a god, other gods. They fill him up like oxygenating a fire, his appetite is immense and never satisfied. Man will always look for meaning even if their 'meaning' becomes perverse. And atheists are the funniest of all, because theirs becomes convoluted with pride and sci fi. The results are amusing and their messiahs are the emptiest of all, rife with easy phrases, the kind that anonymous johns use on blondes in bars for one night stands. And when you see it in politics, its funnier still.

I'm waiting for the sumbitch to do the "Benny Hinn" schtick at one of his cult meetings. It seems to almost be at that level of concocted "adoration" already. That's it.....Benny Hinn Obama.

How much of the Left are atheists, anyway?

Assuming nothing extraordinary happens, I now believe that McCain will beat either one of them. In recent history, when a democratic candidate begins behind in the polls he loses. Bill Clinton would have lost too had Perot not gotten into the race, and he successfully positioned himself, true or not, as a moderate, a new kind of Democrat. A hard left candidate needs one hell of a head of steam up front to hold out to the general. Dukakis had an 18% lead in the polls after the democratic convention against Bush I, but got trounced once the American people got a real good look at him. This time around, neither democratic candidate will have anything near that, and Clinton's negatives are staggering. Obama has now fallen behind McCain in most national polls. It may be close, but the whole nation has not lost its mind.

As for what will happen. Don't be surprised that we have violent protests erupting everywhere. You know, all that hope and change just can't contain it's true nature for long. I've been thinking about this too. I expect a massive wave of ugliness and hysteria. And I say good. America needs to see the unvarnished reality of godless religion, the mindless, fascist nature of what our public education system is churning out.

¹⁶ He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, ¹⁷ so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. (NIV)

2 John

7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. (KJV)
