The Myth is Dead, Let The Alibi Begin
By Charles T. Buntin
In the past several days there have been several opinion pieces linked to the central idea that If Obama loses, it is because we rural white folks are all racists. The most well-known writers are Clarence Page and Matt Rothschild, and today there was another opinion piece in The Progressive, by Kevin Gray. What is especially ironic, and a bit funny, is that conservative talk show host Dennis Prager posted an article two days ago predicting this would happen, and happening it is!
The Mainstream Media must be brain-linked, or perhaps they sense a change in the electorate, so they are crafting the alibi-lieSharing the self-absorbed hubris of their candidate, who apparently thinks that we are all bitter, cousin-marryin', flag-wavin,' gun-totin,' Bible-thumpin' cretins if we won't vote for him. The alibi is being formulated, and in the Mind of Obama the Exalted, the narrative must conform to the legend he imagines himself to be. He will never be tempermentally able to say, 'I was defeated because the American people decided they did not like my announced policies and they wanted a real Commander in Chief." That would not match with his self-designed personal journey to greatness. This is a man who has published two biographies when he has not had sufficient real life experiences to merit an article.
Colin Powell has a real narrative--forged in war and peace, from housing projects in New York to the White House--and he earned that narrative every day, in ways that only a career military professional can understand--and he contended with racism that OBAMA never knew. Condaleeza Rice, whether you like her or not, has a narrative, and it does not consist of dreams, visions, or hubris, but of real work done. It is about a girl who would have died as a young teen had she not been sick the day of the Birmingham Bombing, for those little girls who died were her classmates.
In my military career, I served with or met many of John McCain's fellow prisoners, and what I found in almost all of them was (1) selflessness, (2) Absorption in others instead of oneself, (3) A sense of mission, and (4) an overwhelming humility combined with (5) a quiet, definite strength and maturity. I will never forget the day in 1984 when, along with 800 other junior officers, I was blessed to attend a symposium of former POWs. McCain was not there, but several of his fellow-prisoners were. The POWs sat at on couches in the cavernous auditorium, and we listened in total hushed silence as they passed the microphone around and just talked. Then, they answered questions for nearly two hours—serious questions, searching questions, soul questions. When the time was done, we were called to attention and as we stood there, a montage of American scenes were flashed across the huge screen, and for the first time, I heard these words: “If tomorrow all the things were Gone I’d worked for all my life…”.
As the music grew and the words cut at us like knives, 800 professional military officers wept like babies. Fighter jocks, hard-nosed maintenance officers, spooky intelligence officers, security officers and spookier missile launch officers cried and thanked God that there were men like these. That is the kind of man John McCain is.
All I see and hear in Barak Obama is hubris, self-absorption, and vapidity beyond degree. I still don’t know what a community organizer is, and suspect that if I knew, I’d be less than impressed. His positions scare the pants off me, and the idea of him going head to head with Vladimir Putin is frightening. I can’t vote for the man, but it isn't race. I would vote for Colin Powell, with whom I disagree on many things, or for JC Watss with whom I agree on nearly everything. Heck, I'd vote for Condaleeza Rice without hesitation. These are genuine people who clawed up from the bottom and have achieved many times over what results (?) we find in the OBAMA Mythology. What I find in the narrative is Mr. Obama's empty suit. These folks just happen to be African-American, being African-American is a profession for OBAMA.The alibi is being readied.

Community Organizers, Governors, and Blasphemy
In a political year known for history-making events, incredible sleaze, mindless chutzpa and more lies than normal, the “mainstream” media (a.k.a. the Democratic Party’s media friends) has been exceptionally biased this year. They are not even covering their tracks anymore, but are blatantly supporting the Democratic ticket. Even their own people have noted this, and some of their allies have suggested they tone it down—it’s gotten that bad. The lies, misstatements, distortions, and friendly editing that has gone on is well-documented and sad—I will leave the big picture to those who have commented on it. I just want to deal with one particularly ridiculous statement, first laid down by a Democratic congressman, then picked up on by the Democratic Media, and that is the ridiculous Democratic line, “…Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor.” This is intended, of course to compare Barak Obama to Jesus, and Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin to Pontius Pilate—both of which are totally inaccurate comparisons.
The originator of this bit of biased and ridiculous fluff was one Steve Cohen, a Democratic congressman from Tennessee. This has got to be one of the most idiotic propositions ever voiced by an American politician. In one fell swoop, Mr. Cohen demonstrated that he flunked theology and history (if he ever took either course), and managed to blaspheme Jesus Christ along the way. The phrase, “Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor,” probably was inspired by Governor Palin’s dig, delivered with humor in her speech at the GOP national convention, which wondered what a “community organizer” actually does (something I am still not clear on). The Democratic Party, represented by the aforementioned representative from Tennessee, came back with the Pilate Rejoinder, which has been and is being duly repeated by their allies in the media. Let’s look at this statement.
This line contains within it two “big lies,” and one hidden tidbit of hidden Truth.
For Lie #1, let’s talk about Governor Pontius Pilate. First, Pontius Pilate was NOT a governor. The original Greek of the New Testament refers to Pilate as a “hegemon,” which means the ruler of a province. In fact, the official title Pilate held was either Procurator or Prefect (the scholars differ on the exact wording) either one of which was an appointed office under Caesar. Pilate was a combination military ruler, tax collector, and personal representative of Caesar. He was not elected by the people (as Sarah Palin was), nor was he very popular with the people because of his violent repressive measures. So, Pontius Pilate was not a governor, and he bares no resemblance to Governor Palin or any other elected official under the Constitution of the United States.
For Lie #2, (and this is where blasphemy comes in), we have the statement, “Jesus was a community organizer.” Of course nothing could be further from the Truth—Jesus’ mission was multifaceted, but NONE of it involved “community organizing.” The classic Biblical definition of Jesus’ ministry is “Prophet, Priest, and King.”
Prophet refers to his teaching ministry. Jesus, according to Christian teachings, was the one referred to by Moses in Deut 18:15 : ""The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear…”. In His prophetic ministry, Jesus expounded the Law and the Prophets and taught His disciples the rudiments of the Gospel of the Kingdom, with the Holy Spirit (John chapters 14-16) filling out the outline after Christ’s ascension, through the ministry of the Holy Apostles.
Jesus came as high priest and sacrifice. Jesus’ primary mission was redemptive—he came to die for our sins—Mat. 1:21, Mat 20:28, John 10:14-17, and many more verses that could be cited here. One had to be perfect and divine to be our sacrifice, and the job’s been done—so Barak will have to find another avenue to be a Messiah.
Another Part of Jesus’ ministry, one yet to be fully fulfilled, is that of King. One day Christ will return and set up his Kingdom, and every knee shall bow to Him (Phil 2:5-11, Rev chapters 19-22, etc.).
To call Jesus a “community organizer” is a blasphemy of such broad effect as to boggle the mind. It is like comparing God to Peanut Butter.
Jesus was not, in any sense of the word, some kind of “community organizer. sent to show the Romans and the Jews how to be charitable and get along, nor did he set up some system of welfare to the poor, nor was He involved in politics at all, nor were any of His apostles. Jesus came to Earth to die, to rise, to ascend, and to return.
An inconvenient Truth—(Sorry, Algore). There was this one guy in Jesus’ day organizing the community in Palestinethis community organizer’s name was Barabbas. (Mat 27:16-17) "And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"" (Mark 15:7) "And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion." Now I am not accusing Barak of being THAT kind of community organizer, but he does have this close friend, William Ayers, an unrepentant, ex-revolutionary who used to blow up buildings and wishes he could have done more—Barabbas—that’s it—but not Jesus.

Obama the Idiot
Obama approved the latest ad, which ridiculed John McCain for not being computer literate. Apparently lost in the research is that McCain's injuries, suffered during six years of torture as a POW prevent him from using a keyboard or mouse.
DUH!
Again, we have here a lightweight with no honor, pushed on us by who knows what dark forces in our nation, and he approves a commercial like this--will he insult blind people next? What a total nincompoop!
DUH!

Compare Obama and Palin
With reference to Senator Barak Obama being a community organizer like Jesus and Governor Palin being like Pontius Pilate, here are some facts.
1. Jesus was not a community organizer. His Kingdom, He told Pilate, was "not of this world." John 18:36.
2. Jesus was organizing for a future world, a New Heaven and a New Earth, Rev 21:1-8.
3. Jesus did not contribute to the slaughter of the innocents (except being the intended victim) (Mat 2:18), while Senator Obama has consistently voted to continue slaughtering innocents, even those born alive after a botched murder.
4. Governor Palin is from a small town, as was Jesus; she was in the fishing business as was the families of Peter and Andrew, James and John. Until she went into politics to make a difference, she was a working mom like Mary, helping with the family business.
5. One of Senator Obama's best friends William Ayers, was, like Barabbas, an insurrectionist and murderer. The difference being, according to church tradition, that Barabbas later repented and became a follower of Jesus. Ayers thinks they did not kill enough.

Sarah Palin's Faith and Twenty-One Words
By Charley Buntin

I often send Bible lesson notes out to a small group of people, and these notes are always based on a Bible text or passage. However, the text for this written message is an unusual one, because this text is not from the Bible, and this set of notes is not about a religious topic. Our text is, in fact, totally secular, found in one of the most revolutionary paragraphs of a very revolutionary document, The Constitution of the United States. In Article VI, , we read the following:
"...3. The senators and representatives before-mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of theseveral states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this constitution; but noreligious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under theUnited States."
The American Left, in its frenzy to destroy Sarah Palin and brand her some kind of religious kook, has made Sarah Palin's faith into an avenue of attack against her qualifications to be Vice President of the United States. The "All Things Considered" program on I heard the other day on National Public Radio, and CNN's Anderson Cooper, and others in the liberal media have attacked with glee the idea that Sarah Palin depends on prayer, that she believes in the power of prayer, that she believes in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, that she believes the Bible, and that she seeks God's guidance and leadership in her life.The "two left coasts" of our media, (and some in the Middle, like the Atlanta Constitution) treat this knowledge of Governor Palin's faith as if they had discovered illegal drugs in her stuffed moose head from the office! Horrors! How dare any intelligent and educated person depend on God and wait for His guidance! How dare a potential Vice President of the United States believe in the power of prayer! This is dangerous—the next thing you know, there will be a Bible on the desk in the Oval Office! This is how they are acting about all of this.
To put it in a most distinguished and scholarly way, what a crock of smelly stuff! There is a term for this set of activities by the left media: religious persecution! This bald-faced persecution of Governor Palin is a drastic mistake by the liberal left, because Sarah Palin is FAR from alone. In her faith in a living Christ Who guides us by the Word and Spirit, she is not alone, and as any evangelical knows, you don't have to be Pentecostal to believe these things—all Bible-believing Christians, in varying degrees, believe this way, evangelical and mainline, Protestant and Catholic, Baptist and others. And in small town America, requests for prayer are taken quite seriously, and they cross all party and denominational lines. This writer is one Southern Baptist who has seen prayer work many times!
So, what of our secular text for this set of study notes? This text, written in 1787 by a group of real geniuses is the basis for our freedom; this short document has been used by God's Providence to provide a growing wealth of liberty for all. The first, and longest part of this text is this:
"...The senators and representatives before-mentioned, and the members of the several statelegislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the severalstates, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this constitution..."
Those who hold office in this great land, including not only political office holders the military, the police, and firefighters, are required to swear allegiance to this text. Imagine that! Dictators and emperors, kings and queens, from ancient times through today, require that all of their minions swear an oath to them; that is not so here. When this writer, at the tender age of 19, was sworn into the US Air Force, it began a happy association that continues and has continued into retirement. When I was inducted, then again when re-enlisted, then again when I earned my commission, and again when made a Regular Officer—in each case, I swore and oath. I swore allegiance to a thin document in parchment, a pamphlet, a tract, a brief statement of the principles of governing a free people. My loyalty was not and is not to my colonel, my generals, or even out Commander In Chief—my loyalty is to a set of ideas written on wrinkled lambskin with a quill pen. As I have sworn many times, so has Sarah Palin several times—and her record is that she has maintained loyalty to her town, and her state, and to the oaths she undertook. Those who know her best have said that after she seeks God's guidance, she then looks for a solution for all Alaskans. What could possibly be wrong with that? What kind of rude and arrogant mind would assume that, having sworn and kept an oath as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska, that Sarah would violate that oath as Vice President or President. Only a mind twisted by bias, hatred, and party spirit could be so blind—and that is where too many in our news media live. Sarah Palin has made and kept faithfully, the oaths required of office holders under our constitution. So much for the first half of our text.
The second part of our secular text is this:
"…but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trustunder the United States…"
My Scots Presbyterian ancestors could not legally meet for worship under the Kings of England, and they, along with Baptists, Quakers, and anyone whose religious opinions differed with the Crown, were excluded from attending college and holding any office at all. This was the religious test of the Anglican establishment that our forefathers and foremothers faced, and they were not alone. Until religious freedom was written here and then locked in decisively in the First Amendment's "free exercise" clause, any dissenter from the religion of their secular ruler anywhere in the world faced the same wall. The Jews who came to Rhode Island and other places, the gentle Mennonites and Quakers of Pennsylvania, the Baptists of Rhode Island, and others, were set free politically by the 21 words above, to be able to believe what they willed, and yet be a full and equal partner in this great experiment of government.
The religious beliefs of an American are sacred to their God, and in a strange secular way, the religious beliefs (or non-belief) are sacred to our political system. The left-wing media in the United States has minimized and attempted to keep a good distance from Senator Obama's Muslim relatives and Muslim background, and so they should, for 21 words tell us that there can be no religious test. One would think that they would give Governor Palin the same courtesy, since it is her right, by the sixth article of the Constitution of the United States, to practice her religion without any religious test making her unqualified for any public office.
Twenty-one words have made matters of conscience to not be the matter of the state; let's adhere to them. And, given the wild and wooly shape of the world in which we live, what's wrong with a request for divine intervention?
