The Messiah

A modern day “John the Baptist,” Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan recently hailed Obama on “savior day” as “the hope of the entire world.” Halle Berry the Hollywood icon stated she would “do whatever he says do” and “collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear.” No wonder Obama claims “we are the ones we have been waiting for,” promising to lower sea levels, heal our nation and reverse global warming.

When recently asked the question “What is sin?” (a question usually reserved for religious leaders) Obama replied “sin is any misalignment from my values.” Clearly the answer is absurd because it defines sin as whatever is not in alignment with one’s own value system. The likes of Hannibal Lector would not be a sinner because his values hold that it’s OK to eat people.

Obama’s perspective is a rehash of what used to be called “postmodernism” which is one ugly pig once you get past all the layers of makeup, perfume and lipstick. Postmodernism, the rage of Berlin in the 1930s, began to entice leftists in the 1980s, becoming the rage among leftist Chicago “community organizers.”

Postmodernism changes the definitions. Thief becomes “taxation.” Taxes become “donations.” Abortions become “choice.” Infanticide, the killing of babies, becomes acceptable under certain circumstances. In response to postmodernism in action, Illinois had to pass the “Born Alive” legislation to protect infants from doctors because physicians abandoned the ancient Hippocratic Oath in favor wanton murder in the nurseries.
