*OBAMA: LUCIFER IS MY HOMEBOY *
by Ann Coulter
It's another election season, so that means it's time for Democrats to
start uttering wild malapropisms about the Bible to pretend they believe
in God!
In 2000, we had Al Gore inverting a Christian parable into something
nearly satanic. Defending his nutty ideas about the Earth during one of
the debates, Gore said: "In my faith tradition, it's written in the book
of Matthew, where your heart is, there is your treasure also." And that,
he said, is why we should treasure the environment.
First of all, people who say "faith tradition" instead of "religion" are
always phony-baloney, "Christmas and Easter"-type believers.
Second, Jesus was making almost the exact opposite point, saying: "Do
not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth," where there are moths,
rust and thieves, but in heaven, because, Jesus said, "where your
treasure is, there your heart will be also."
I guess that's the kind of mix-up that can happen when your theological
adviser is Naomi Wolf.
Then in 2004, Democratic presidential candidate and future Trivial
Pursuit answer Howard Dean told an interviewer that his favorite part of
the New Testament was the Book of Job. The reporter should have asked
him if that was his favorite book in all three testaments.
And now in 2008, we have Democrats attacking Sarah Palin for being a
Christian, while comparing Obama to Jesus Christ. (And not in the
sarcastic way the rest of us do.)
Liberals have indignantly claimed that Palin thinks the founding fathers
wrote the Pledge of Allegiance, which is Olbmermannic in the sense that
(a) if it were true, it's trivial, and (b) it's not true.
Their claim is based on a questionnaire Palin filled out when she was
running for governor of Alaska in 2006, which asked the candidates if
they were "offended by the phrase 'under God' in the Pledge of
Allegiance." Palin answered: "Not on your life. If it was good enough
for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me, and I'll fight in
defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."
As anyone can see, Palin was not suggesting that the founding fathers
"wrote" the Pledge of Allegiance: She said the founding fathers believed
this was a country "under God." Which, um, it is.
For the benefit of MSNBC viewers who aren't watching it as a joke, the
whole point of the Declaration of Independence was to lay out the
founders' breathtaking new argument that rights came not from the king,
but from God or, as the Declaration said, "Nature's God," the "Creator."
That summer, in 1776, Gen. George Washington -- a charter member of the
founding fathers -- rallied his troops, saying: "The time is now near at
hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen
or slaves. ... The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God,
on the courage and conduct of the army."
So Washington not only used the phrase "under God," but gave us one of
the earliest known references to the rights of the "unborn." That's
right! George Washington was a "pro-life extremist," just like Sarah Palin.
There is no disputing that a nation "under God" was "good enough" for
the founding fathers, exactly as Palin said.
Meanwhile, on the House floor last week, Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of
Tennessee compared Palin to Pontius Pilate -- and Obama to Jesus. Cohen
said: "Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our
minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor."
Yes, who can forget the Biblical account of how Jesus got the homeless
Samaritan to register as a Democrat in exchange for a carton of smokes!
Rep. Cohen would be well-advised to stay away from New Testament
references. Continued...
As anyone familiar with the New Testament can confirm for him, there are
no parables about Jesus passing out cigarettes for votes, lobbying the
Romans for less restrictive workfare rules or filing for grants under
the Community Redevelopment Act. No time for soul-saving now! First, we
lobby Fannie Mae to ease off those lending standards and demand a
windfall profits tax on the money-changers in the temple.
David Freddoso's magnificent new book, "The Case Against Barack Obama,"
describes the forefather to "community organizers" like Barack Obama and
Hillary Clinton -- the famed Saul Alinsky.
Alinsky is sort of the George Washington of "community organizers." If
there were an America-hater's Mount Rushmore, Saul Alinsky would be on
it. He tried to hire Hillary to work for him right out of Wellesley. A
generation later, those who had trained with Alinsky did hire Obama as a
community organizer.
In Freddoso's book, he quotes from the dedication in the first edition
of Alinsky's seminal book, "Rules for Radicals," where Alinsky wrote:
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very
first radical: From all our legends, mythology and history (and who is
to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is
which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the
establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own
kingdom -- Lucifer."
I suppose it could have been worse. He could have dedicated his book to
George Soros.
Even liberals eventually figured out that they shouldn't be praising
Satan in public, so the Lucifer-as-inspiration paragraph was cut from
later editions of Alinsky's book. (But on the bright side, MSNBC adopted
as its motto: "Who is to know where mythology leaves off and history
begins -- or which is which.")
That's exactly what happens to most Democratic ideas -- as soon as they
are said out loud, normal people react with revulsion, so Democrats
learn to pretend they never said them: I was NOT comparing Palin to a
pig! I did not play the race card! I did not say I would meet with
Ahmadinejad without preconditions!
Sarah Palin might be just the lucky break the Democrats need. As a
staunch pro-lifer, Palin could give Democrats an excuse to steer away
from topics they know nothing about, like the Bible, and onto a subject
they know chapter and verse, like abortion.
