Liberalism => Persecution
| Paul, just this guy, you know? always has a worthwhile blog. He puts it out there like he sees it. He has a series on how liberal ideas are causing persecution in different countries. I link to these after reading this comment by Obama (you know that liberal senator who keeps pretending he thinks faith is a good thing). Here is a quote to a United Church of Christ group(emphasis mine): " Doing the Lord's work is a thread that's run through our politics since the very beginning," Obama told church members. "And it puts the lie to the notion that the separation of church and state in America -- a principle we all must uphold and that I have embraced as a constitutional lawyer and most importantly as a Christian -- means faith should have no role in public life." From the Chicago Tribune.With thinking like that on the left (and remember, Obama is the guy who "likes" religion), take a look at what more we can look forward to beyond the mess we all ready have. Check out: Liberalism Leads to Persecution, Liberalism Leads to Persecution, Two, and Liberalism Leads to Persecution, Three. |
I'm no fan of Obama, believe me, but I think either I don't get what you mean or maybe the way this was written or said makes it sound like one thing is being said while the opposite is actually being said. Taking out the aside about upholding the separation of church and state the line reads like this:
Doing the Lord's work is a thread that's run through our politics since the very beginning," Obama told church members. "And it puts the lie to the notion that the separation of church and state in America means faith should have no role in public life." (My emphasis)
So as I read it he's saying that faith does have a role in public life. If that's what he is saying then I applaud the sentiment. For many reasons I can't applaud the speaker.
My reading is that he is saying that he wants to uphold the separation of Church and State and that Faith should have no role in public life. I see your re-read, and you may be correct. But as I read it, I see him saying keep your faith out of politics.
I could be wrong.
