OBAMA LIES: ‘TO DO OUR WORK OPENLY’
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
How can one believe Barack Hussein Obama on anything when he plants in the middle of his State of the Union speech these words: “. . .to do our work openly.”
Obama has been the most secretive President. Whatever he has done of significance to his hubris and opportunism has been sneaked behind closed doors. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have stood right alongside him in his cut and paste, slice and dice.
The knowing public catalogues the details. What frustrates that public most is when Obama mounts the SOTU pulpit to whitewash his destructive plots.
He surrounds himself with a non-vetted socialist shadow government. His czars report to him and him alone.
He claims bipartisan cooperation while he and Dems have shut out Republicans in the overbearing Dem arrogance of power.
Despot Obama will continue his modus operandi on his same dictatorial track. His speech sounded sweet on education this and that for the earnest youth anxious for college and university. So he pockets their ballots.
He speaks in illustrative glow of this family or that mother who writes him about her struggles. That pockets those ballots.
He speaks as one crippled by the Bush past. That pockets the Bush-haters’ ballots.
With that, only fools—of which there are millions—will buy into his patriotic vernacular as he attempts to sound like a flag-waving patriot. He’s not. He’s a secretive betrayer with a cadre of liars and crooks to right and left. That will continue.
“Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” Jesus gave that counsel to His own. Those believers must maintain that vigilance when dealing with a Marxist Muslim President ever committed to imploding our democracy.
A one-night speech does not erase his first year of destructive undercutting. There is too much evidence in the fact file to support that, no matter his down home phrasing in his SOTU charade.
OBAMA, KEEP IN MIND THAT CHRIST RULES EVERY RULER
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
“Christ is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the universe.” Colossians 2:10
That’s either true or false.
Nonbelievers scoff. Believers hold to that with their very souls.
What does that verse mean? It means that Obama has not the final say regarding America. Christ does.
Hitler answered to Christ. So did Stalin. So will every present and future ruler just as every past authority.
That gives hope to the Christ follower for no matter how dreadful the present moment may be—as it was when Hitler gassed Jews and Gentiles, for instance—mortals will perish, going to their eternal destinies.
Likewise, those dealing such atrocities will stand before Judge Christ. They will consign their souls to heaven or hell. Christ plays the part as secretary in that scenario. He of course is Judge; however, by His own plan of eternal legal procedures, He in effect hands the gavel to the free will mortal.
Christ as Alpha and Omega has the first and last of everything existing in this spiritually sick sphere. That includes every ruler and authority, per Colossians.
American Christians, hold fast to your biblical faith. Keep it close to head and heart. Read God’s Word thoroughly and often. Keep the promises close to your every moment and live in the power of the God who cannot lie.
Your Christ “is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the universe.” So be it.

HOW CULTIST OBAMA THINKS
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Chris Wallace related to Fox News that Barack Hussein Obama appeared especially poised and optimistic at the White House luncheon for a dozen or so newscasters. This was the day of the State of the Union speech.
Fox several times pressed Wallace on Obama’s demeanor. Wallace’s response was always the same. Obama was not confused, angered or depressed. Instead, he was upbeat and anxious to present the address.
With that, I thought: Now that is the way a cultist thinks and acts—confident, unmoved by facts, and ready to charge ahead.
Wallace said that he expects no apology or anything like unto that from Obama. Obama will not recant or restart anything. Obama believes he is thoroughly in the know and totally on course. Most of America disagrees; however, that does not influence Obama.
Though Obama claims to be Protestant, he has himself stated his “Muslim faith.”
By now knowledgeable citizens around the world realize that a Muslim, not a Protestant, sits in the Oval Office. His United Church of Christ membership is a mask.
Obama and family have been Muslim minded at least throughout their twenty years under Muslim-aligned Jeremiah Wright’s brainwashing cult factory called a “church.”
Obama was a Muslim brother to Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, particularly when they planned the Muslim Million Man March on Washington DC in 1995.
Prior to attending the rant and rave at Wright’s conclave, Obama had so many Muslim influences molding his personality that it is not at all surprising that he is a devotee of Islam.
Islam is not a religion among world religions. It has nothing like it on the planet. It is a killing cult with a bloody ‘holy writ’ for its scriptures. Its deity is a slaughtering Allah. And its zealous members are out to establish Islam World Rule. That bottom line equals only Muslims alive on this globe.
To deny that is to deny reality. To whitewash that is to give the enemy front row seats in ridding the Earth of infidels.
Now that Obama is committed to a killing cult, one can realize all the more how he is elated over whatever he does. Cult members work that way. They have come upon their definition of truth. It is locked in their head and heart. Nothing then can persuade them to take a U-turn on their ideology.
Conservative newscasters know all this but they won’t say “Muslim” or “Islamic” relating to Obama. However, they will speak of him as an “ideologue.” That is code language for
“Muslim” and “Islamic.” So they get the truth message. However, in their own political correctness they cannot say the “M” or “I” words.
Nevertheless, for the rest of us into reality, we need to understand the make-up of the cultic mind. It is in cement. It is energetic and surrendered to the power of the cult.
Take any cult you have read about or experienced in any way and you will endorse that statement.
Therefore, that is who we have in the White House—a cultic member living out the cultic mindset. No wonder Obama is enthusiastic about a SOTU speech that runs directly counter to the non-cultic American mind.
