On August 14, President Obama gave his support for Muslims to build a huge mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan giving religious freedom as his reason. Apart from the rightness or wrongness of permitting a mosque there, that decision is one of the dumbest political decisions he has made and he has made some “doozies” as momma would say. I have thought all along that his closest advisors must be Larry, Curley, and Moe, but even they could not be so zany as to recommend building a Muslim mosque where Muslim terrorists killed almost 3,000 innocent people.
However, today my main concern is balance and fairness and if he is so adamant about religious freedom for Muslims, I ask, no I demand (after all, he does work for me and I fund all his lavish vacations) that he support my intentions to build the Trinity Baptist Church in Mecca. If he is not a hypocrite, I assume he will send me an offering to send a missionary family to Saudi Arabia to make Christ known to the Muslims living in the darkness of that forlorn nation. His check should be “for Baptist Church in Mecca” and will be used for that purpose.
All right, maybe he won’t help me because he is too tight or too financially pressed, after all, we are in a depression, so I will be willing to accept his verbal support for that project. Yes, I know that Saudi Arabia does not permit churches of any kind but surely Obama sees that as an injustice to be corrected. After all, America has opened her arms and permitted crazy Muslim clerics, wide-eyed terrorists, and Islamic fundraisers to enter this nation without restrictions. We have border policies that almost provide directions for illegal aliens to follow, making their arrival easier. How about some reciprocity since there are about 2,000 mosques in the U.S., so surely no sane, honest, sincere person would object to one Baptist Church in Mecca.
Maybe Obama, to show his sincerity regarding religious freedom, would be willing to make an appearance at the first service at Trinity Baptist of Mecca! Maybe he could testify as to the day he repented of his sins and trusted in Christ’s death and resurrection making him a Born Again Christian. After all, there are no exceptions since Christ said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” That was “no man.” However, in that Muslim nation with the fanatical fervor that hangs over it like a miasmic smog and the blaring of the Islamic call to prayer, he might “misspeak” again and say something about “my Muslim faith.” That might tend to blow the whole thing. You know how those Baptists can be.
If he really wanted to make world news (and raise his dismal ratings from their free-fall), he could even bring his original birth certificate proving to the crazies once and for all that he is an American citizen and qualified to be President. Of course, it takes a little more than being an American citizen, but we can overlook such things as keeping campaign promises since no one really takes them seriously anyway.
Moreover, the Constitution does not actually prohibit a socialist from being President or forbid him from taking over the health care system, major financial institutions, automobile companies, and the like; however, the original Founders of America would at least raise an eyebrow or two. Nor is there a restriction on confiscating a major portion of a citizen’s income to provide for the deadbeats, thieves, and parasites. However, the Constitution is clear in requiring a President to be a natural born citizen.
I hope Obama will get with me on this campaign to build a church in Mecca, then maybe we can build one in Riyadh, the Kingdom’s capital city. Even the most narrow-minded fanatic could not oppose a church so that the non-Muslim world’s embassy workers could have a place to worship even if their oppressive laws forbade Muslims from attending. At the present, such workers meet in secret, sing quietly, and have an illegal sermon from one of the Christian workers. If discovered, they will be shipped out of that Kingdom pronto. Question: Why in the world do world leaders permit such oppressive treatment; after all, the embassies belong to each nation. Maybe Obama or his Secretary of State could speak to that issue and clarify it for us.
I am waiting with bated breath to hear from President Obama as to my request or demand. Maybe it is time for Obama to “put up or shut up.” As for me, I am weary of his sanctimonious hypocrisy. It is bad enough to be a hypocrite but to be a sanctimonious hypocrite is “beyond the pale.” For those educated in the Government schools, or those living in Rio Linda, CA, that means “unacceptable; outside agreed standards of decency.”
Obama, I’m waiting for your call. You may call me collect.
