The Democratic Party is a religion

After watching the Democratic Convention and the subsequent bounce I have come to a conclusion. We are not dealing with a political party. The modern Democratic “party” is a religion. It is not based on fact but articles of faith. It even has a messiah/godhead. The Left’s war on religion has left many without a spiritual belief system. This created a void that Obama has filled in the lives of Democrats.

Barack Obama is the messiah of the Democrat religion. He is viewed as someone who has been sent to redeem America of it’s sin of slavery and oppression of the 3rd world. Obama is even seen to have divine powers. Many of his followers claim that he can heal the planet and one even thought his voice stopped the rain. Democrats view Obama as a divine god-king who must be worshiped. If you even criticize Obama they label you racist. This term doesn’t mean what it originally intended any more. It now means you are a heretic who does not like Obama.

Global warming is an article of faith. The Democrats believe that the changing climate can be stopped by humans. They believe their messiah (Obama) has the power to do this.

They have a racial caste system. At the top are Progressive Whites, who are the master race of this Democratic religion. Underneath them different groups have different roles in the caste system. Hispanics are domestic help and construction workers. Blacks are singers, actors and sports professionals. Indians are tech support and doctors. Asians are food providers who provide take out restaurants or they run beauty salons and dry cleaners. Conservative whites and minorities who refuse to play the roles given them by the Democrats are viewed as infidels who must be silenced.

This is what Republicans are up against. We are dealing with a religion that has Obama as it’s godhead. The way to defeat them is by going after Obama and destroying the aura of divinity.

Update: Abortion on demand (as opposed to circumstances) is the religious sacrament of the Democratic religion. It’s a form of human sacrifice and a means to eliminate what they consider inferior.

The Cult of Obama

Reason.com has been reading my writings. I have been doing posts on the Obama as the God-King phenomenon. He is viewed as quasi religious symbol by many Americans.

CHARLOTTE–After John Kerry lost the 2004 presidential election to George W. Bush by a margin much larger than Democrats had contemplated, some liberals spent their Monday-morning quarterbacking agonizing over how they could possibly narrow the wide and growing gap among religious voters. Others washed their hands of the whole enterprise, drawing up “Jesusland” maps on the Internet that consigned vast swaths of the country to irredeemable superstition.

It’s one of the many curiosities of two-party politics that Team A routinely mirrors or even adopts major personality traits of Team B within tidy eight-year cycles, but still the speed with which Democratic gatherings have become openly religious revivals is enough to induce whiplash. Aside from Bill Clinton (who must always be in a category by himself) speakers at the just-concluded Democratic National Convention who got the best response were those who most resembled–and sometimes were–pastors.

[….]

President Barack Obama didn’t give a particularly good acceptance speech Thursday night, but for the thousands in the arena it didn’t matter one bit. They were here to see him more than listen to him, to communicate their love to him (often by bursting forth with “I LOVE YOU!!”s) more than hear about his plans for the next four years. The last five minutes of the speech was a festival of hollering back, of responding not to Obama’s frequently inaudible remarks but to the rising timbre of his voice. I think it’s impossible to understand the ongoing appeal of this odd and embattled president without grappling with the notion that he is an essentially religious figure.

Obama is a messiah figure to the left.

Political Cartoons by Ken Catalino

Bill Whittle sums it up beautifully in this edition of Afterburner. It is the tale of two campaigns and their corresponding messages. An unfair fight really, between an actual heavyweight with intellectual gravitas and a lifetime of actual accomplishment versus a petty little man who really has zero business in the arena inhabited by adults. That is as diplomatic a description as I could have given to the campaign of 2012. Barack Obama won the election in 2008 due in large part to the ability of the press to keep hidden from the American people his core principles, beliefs, origins, associations, philosophical direction, campaign tactics, and what this person actually was. Now in 2012, as Americans have gotten to know him more intimately, they, about 55% of them anyhow, have had enough. Democrat party stalwarts who have not turned completely against him have taken to beating land speed records in their attempts to clear distance betwixt he and they.

Watch this video on YouTube.

I remember watching ABC news’ Nightline one day during the spring of 1988 and watching a glowing report of Jimmy Carter’s activities as an Ex-President. No matter what you believed about his job performance while in office, I was told, He was a stand out as one of our greatest former Presidents. A fitting tribute indeed, praising him for activities that had no real consequence, except as a good will ambassador shining his famous smile for various charitable photo ops, while actual decisions which needed to be made were left for the adults in the room. I can think of no better job for the Obama family. Traveling the country far and wide getting their picture taken in soup kitchens, where more than half of the people standing in line are there as a direct result of an Obama policy decision, and then leaving as the real business of feeding the hungry is attended to by people who really care enough to put forth an effort.

As the convention reaches its final day today, and we look forward to Mitt Romney’s acceptance as the top of the GOP ticket, I implore all of us to put aside our admittedly well deserved differences and get behind the necessary effort to remove this petty little man, the destructive force that he has turned out to be, from the highest office in the land. We need to put our nation first, because four more years of a Zero Presidency will see damage done to our nation that will take decades to reverse, possibly longer. Many of us, myself included wanted another candidate to emerge victorious from the primary fights earlier during the spring. Mitt Romney, for better or worse is what we have. The attempts of a very small minority to replace him with their respective candidates during a floor fight at the convention have failed as well.

Yes, Mitt Romney comes from the liberal wing of the party, and yes he has shown those colors vividly in the past. He has also kept his language strictly in line with free market economics since winning the nomination, and has not taken that all familiar turn to the left, as have many Republican Presidential nominees before him, (Nixon, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain.) He, even without saying this is for the Tea Party, has picked one of our own for the number two spot on the ticket. What’s even more important about that pick, is that it was not a blind pander to the conservative base that makes up the bulk of those who regularly vote for Republicans, but rather the result of his well established management style. He chose someone he felt was capable of doing the top job, but that would also serve as a compliment to his strengths and views. He picked Ryan precisely so that he would always have a more conservative argument and view point present during the decision making process, someone who will have the strength to stand up to him when disagreement inevitably does arise.

Compare, just for the moment, the differences between these two men and their management styles. Barack Obama chose Joe Biden, the only man in America capable of making Barack Obama seem serious by comparison. Biden is one of the very few people in this country who Barack Obama can surround himself with and not feel threatened that his abilities will overshadow those of Obama. Mitt Romney chose someone precisely because he wished to surround himself with people who are the most capable around. He is not threatened by the capabilities of others, he actively seeks them out and offers them jobs.

A bad economy might not matter in 2012

Many Conservatives are over confident in the prospects of defeating Obama. This is a very dangerous attitude to take. About 3 weeks ago I thought Obama was in the verge of collapse. Bad economic numbers and the Romney’s campaign’s rapid response seemed to have caught Obama off guard. But then Obama counter attacked.

Obama’s immigration order, which let me make clear I feel was illegal since only Congress has the power of naturalization, is popular with American voters. Republicans botched the response on this by getting emotional instead of pointing out the illegality of the order. This undercut Romney’s measured response. Then Obama began a new assault on Bain Capital’s history of outsourcing. This has damaged Romney’s poll standing in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Other ads claim Romney will raise taxes on the poor and cut them for the rich. Here is what a low information voter’s impression of the election is due to these ads.

Their target: voters like Jessica Bruning, 28, of Holstein, Iowa.

“I don’t get a chance to see the news a lot,” Bruning, who was called in the USA TODAY Poll, said in a follow-up phone interview. “I have two kids and go to school and work. Seeing the ads every day helps me catch up. I see what they are going to do.”

What has she learned? That Obama has been pushing to keep student loan rates low — she’s attending community college to be certified as a welder, so that’s an important issue for her — and that Romney “wants to cut taxes for the rich people and raise them for the poor.”

“I don’t think that’s cool,” she says. She plans to vote for Obama.

Instead of responding to these charges, Mitt Romney took a vacation while Obama did campaign stops. Clearly Mitt Romney is overconfident that a bad economy will lead him to victory. This is a dangerous assumption when Obama is more than a normal politician, he is a cultural symbol.

WASHINGTON (AP) — History repeats itself, until it doesn’t.

That musty saw is worth remembering as pundits speculate on whether the lumbering economy will doom the re-election hopes of President Barack Obama, who has shown a knack for beating odds and breaking barriers.

Clearly, some important trends are working against him. The latest evidence came Friday in a lackluster jobs report that said the nation’s unemployment rate was stuck at 8.2 percent.

[…]

Yet Obama runs even with, or slightly ahead of, Republican rival Mitt Romney in poll after poll. Campaign strategists debate the reasons.

They might include Obama’s personal likability, gaps in Romney’s strategy or Americans’ grudging acceptance of a new normal in which millions of jobs are gone for good and no single person is responsible.

If high unemployment “was a killer, he’d already be dead,” said Republican pollster and consultant Mike McKenna. “The survey data tells you he’s not dead.”

There’s a problem with applying historical precedents and conventional wisdom to Obama. He sometimes defies them.

Read that last sentence very carefully. It is the most truthful analysis about Obama I have seen. He defies conventional wisdom. His poll standings are in the upper 40’s, despite everything wrong that he has done. He has survived a scandal like Fast and Furious, that would have destroyed any other administration. Yet Obama is virtually untouched and is in better shape politically than he was even 3 weeks ago.

Many will deny or come up with the excuses of bad polling samples. Those are valid criticisms but we must assume the data is correct. Its time for Conservatives to stop living in this fantasy that Obama will lose in a landslide. It’s a dangerous delusion that will hand the election to Obama.

The Romney campaign, the Republican Party and Conservatives must grasp the ugly truth about Obama. He is not a normal politician that normal political rules apply to. Obama is virtual political god-king/savior to a large segment of Americans. People overlook his failings because they have faith in the man. They really believe that Obama is trying his best and just needs more time. They refuse to see his failures and cling onto anything positive. This is what we are dealing with, a cultural phenomenon aided by the media and the entertainment industry. To many Americans Obama really is a god-king.

Romney needs to offer a clear alternative to Obama. His whole campaign is “I am not Obama.” That may help rally Conservatives who hate Obama, but it does nothing to win over Independents who decide elections. Plus to be frank, no one personally likes Romney. What Romney needs to do is offer a vision for a better tomorrow. He also needs to start attacking the concept of Obama as the god-king. Obama’s failures need to be highlighted against the perception that he is part of some galactic essence. The Romney campaign must turn Obama into an object of ridicule.

People can go ahead and trash my thread. They can continue to underestimate Obama and the cultural phenomenon behind him. Mock my post at your own peril. I hope the Romney campaign wakes up and realizes what it is up against. I really don’t want to have to do an I told you so post on November 7th. Obama can be beaten but first you have to realize what you are up against.

What to do:

Let’s get an email campaign going to give the Romney campaign some ideas. My idea is to have commercials mocking the Obama as god-king theme espoused by the people in the video clips below.

Watch this video on YouTube.

The ads could have clips of the 2 fools above and then show his failed policies. This would be very damaging and begin to strip away the Obama is god-king myth the media and culture have built up. That’s my idea.
