If those of you who come on here and mock politicians who mention God and their faith had any problem with the President's "invocation" this morning at ground zero ????

Didn't hear it. Do you have a link?

"President Obama opened today's tribute to the thousands who died on 9/11 with a reading from Psalms 46, saying "God is our strength" and "therefore we will not fear."

"The Lord of hosts is with us," Obama said in opening a solemn ceremony at the new Sept. 11 Memorial at Ground Zero. "The God of Jacob is our refuge."

I was very happy but note the nasty remarks on here when others reference their faith under any circumstances.

Based on my observations Liberalism hates religion, or specifically Christianity because ardent Christians are not buying anything the Lib church is selling. It's as if the Lefties have discovered an entity impenetrable to the temptations of the Church Of Liberalism, and they do not like it one bit. More of that Saul Alinsky "Rules For Radicals" nonsense - identify, isolate and destroy.

That is not to say there are not God-fearing Liberals, although they seem to be awful quiet about it, or more likely, when they do as our new president does and mentions God and/or Christ, the Lefties don't go ballistic like they did when Bush mentioned a Creator. Odd? When a Conservative mentions God there is trouble, but when Bill Clinton or Obama mention Christ or God, not a peep from the usual suspects. What's that about? Oh, hypocrisy is what that's about.

Read the whole thing here:

Forgive me but given the emphasis and instructions on the event being absent of religion, et al I have to believe that Obama found another opening for his campaign. I may be ahead of myself but the look from George Bush led me to believe that he felt Obama was grand standing.

But the whole think will be a "catch 22 for citics and Obama knows that . He can't lose on that move.

Bucco, I wonder the same thing. Not just on this forum, but around the country. What do the atheists and others who support organizations like the Freedom From Religion Foundation, based out of Wisconsin, think about the POTUS quoting scripture and calling upon the name of God during an event of such significance which is seen around the world?

It was just a photo opportunity and they will use the video in his campaign.

So, was he being insincere as he gave this speech?
In issues of national security shouldn't we support our Commander in Chief, regardless of political party?

Probably, this is a man who in the past, has refused to to acknowledge the American flag during the National Anthem. There are millions of pictures of him with his hands at his crotch while everybody around him has his or her hand on their heart or giving a military salute.

Remember, this is the same guy who bowed before world leaders and told the world that America was not exceptional. Give no respect-receive no respect.

Never happened....photoshopped.

Downright amazing how the President's appearance and speaking at a solemn ceremony will generate so much hatred from some people. I will stop myself here.

Snopes also verfies it as being a true photo and not altered.

I started this thread and it was obviously not aimed at the President if you could just read.

It was aimed at folks like you who come to this forum and mock people that you dont agree with politically...their faith, their families and whatever strikes your hate at that moment.

I do not expect you to ever criticize your hate or others as long as they agree with you, but this thread was about folks like you who find folks beliefs to be of some humor if they do not coincide with yours. If Christine O'Donnell had said these things anywhere you would be all over her....if Palin said it, there would be some criticism, yet someone you adore and fawn over it is just fine.

I compliment our President for his remarks. I condemn strongly those who find it necessary to mock folks on here who have strong beliefs..and who have no fear of professing them. You can disagree, but you have no right to make fun of them in anyway.

If you want links to things said on here to validate my thread..let me know....will get them for you, but I think you know who you are that do that.

It certainly speaks directly to your personal character.

Wont bother you any longer.....just thought his remarks were great today and wondered what might have been posted here if it were certain people

There is a time and a place for everything. Obama and Bush did exactly what they should have been doing. I saw some footage of Bush in PA and the verbal gaffes he was so known for were certainly gone and I found his remarks inspiring.
