Christian right intensifies attacks on Obama

[SoCalNative]

Terrorist strikes on four American cities. Russia rolling into Eastern Europe. Israel hit by a nuclear bomb. Gay marriage in every state. The end of the Boy Scouts.

All are plausible scenarios if Democrat Barack Obama is elected president, according to a new addition to the campaign conversation called "Letter from 2012 in Obama's America," produced by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family Action.

The imagined look into the future is part of an escalation in rhetoric from Christian right activists who are trying to paint Obama in the worst possible terms as the campaign heads into the final stretch and polls show the Democrat ahead.

Although hard-edge attacks are common late in campaigns, the tenor of the strikes against Obama illustrate just how worried conservative Christian activists are about what should happen to their causes and influence if Democrats seize control of both Congress and the White House.

10. Sandy Rios on WYLL radio in Chicago says that Obama supports gay pedophilia.

So I would think he'd insist on keeping the Boy Scouts around and active!

2. Don't forget to add

One nation under Allah.

Fucking nutters.

3. Flat Earthers scream, "The sky is falling!" And nobody cares.

The Christian Right is marginalized, irrelevant, and a petrified relic of America's dark ages (the RayGun years).

4. Just proving their delusions are expandable.

Seriously, I read the document and that's what I thought. But then, I think.

6. There's nothing Christian about these people

Instead of heeding the words of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry, give the thirsty drink, take care of the sick, or visit the prisoner the so called Christian Right is more worried about their own political power and using that which Jesus Christ gave us as a means to control others. As far as I am concerned, there is nothing Christian about these people.

8. "Amen" to that

14. "What Kind of Amazing Grace?"

I can't believe Christians are arguing that community organizers and people who want to help the poor are anything but exemplifying Christ's mission and message. I wrote a song about that <A HREF="http://www.sharedvoice.org/grace/">"What Kind of Amazing Grace?"</A>
