Obama Is Not Jesus And Palin Is Not Pilate

Have you seen it?

For those of you with older eyes, it says: "Jesus was a community organizer; Pontius Pilate was a governor".

Since Jesus and Obama are almost interchangeable these days, I suppose this kind of thing was inevitable.

I'm no biblical scholar, but  they got Jesus's job description all wrong!  He was not  a "community organizer." Unlike many so-called "community organizers" today, He wasn't part of some organization like the corrupt Daley Machine or the just as corrupt ACORN. 

And that is the problem with the liberals, they don't understand Jesus's real job.  Jesus's life on earth could be more precisely described as itinerant preacher, but to Christians (Those that actually believe in Jesus), Jesus is more than a Billy Graham version 1.0.  Jesus is actually God!  In other words, He's all powerful and all knowing.  There's another job that Jesus claimed:  King of the Jews.

Again, the liberals get it wrong.  Pilate was indeed a governor (or Prefect or Procurator of Judea depending upon the source) of Judea.  Pilate was not elected, he was part of the Roman bureaucracy and was apponted or recommended  by a patron. Pilate, for the times, was not an especially evil man who ordered executions willy-nilly.  Yes, he ordered the death of Jesus, but that was more from pressure from the Sanhedrins than not.  Niether Pilate or the Sanhedrins believed Jesus was who he claimed to be and that doesn't exactly make any of them more or less evil than anyone else at the time.  He was a competent administrator and tax collector.  Other than his involvement with this one incident, he didn't really do anything particulary different than any other Roman bureaucrat.  I'm not a scholar of Roman and Jewish history, but that's my take on Pilate from the little I've read.  When reading history, one has to be aware of the biases and predilections of the writers.

Palin was elected and is wildly popular in her home state.  She was not appointed by the emporer of an occupying country.  To my knowledge, she hasn't recommended or authorized the execution of Obama either.  On the other hand, I think she is plotting his political demise, but that's not exactly the same thing.  :)

This is nothing more than a lame attempt by the left to continue to smear Sarah Palin.  I'm sorry, but I don't find the job of "community organizer" to be any more important or a qualification for the Presidency than my own job as a technician/mechanic on specialized equipment. I'm sure that so-called community organizers are proud of their work, but let's face it, it does not qualify anyone to be the President!  My job is important too, but that doesn't mean I should be CEO of my company!

It's quite apparent to anyone willing to open their eyes and see, conspiracy buff or not,
what the Obamites are intending to do. This isn't just an ordinary election. It is a fight
for this nation. If we allow victory to be theirs then we might as well at the same time
acquiese to having the original constitution itself ripped from the national archives and
replaced with exerpts from the works of Marx, Engels, and ironically, Hitler.

It's extremely important - indeed, essential to the survival of freedom as we know it - that,
even if one does not necessarily have a very high opinion of McCain's acceptance speech at the
Republican National Convention, or agree with him on all his positions, or think that someone
else should have gotten the nomination, or listened to every word he said, I earnestly hope that at least the words he spoke at the end of his speech rang through loud and clear -

FIGHT for what’s right for our country.

FIGHT for the ideals and character of a free people.

FIGHT for our children’s future.

FIGHT for justice and opportunity for all.

STAND UP to defend our country from its enemies.

STAND UP for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.

STAND UP, stand up, stand up and FIGHT. Nothing is inevitable here.

WE'RE AMERICANS, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.

It's clear that Obama doesn't want you to stand up and fight. He wants you to give up. He wants you to believe that all this talk about 'America the Beautiful' is nonsense and that's it's been bad for you. He wants you to listen to him, the Candy Man with his bag of goodies that you want and need so much

Revolutionary change is preceded by passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To facilitate such reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system.

In understanding this one can see what the Obamites are attempting to do. They're applying a maxim of radical revolutionary change which has been applied repeatedly throughour history.
Power over people is proportionate to the impotence of the people. If you can convince them that they are powerless, they will submit to every decision and choice you make for them. But as some of us know, those who don't learn the lessons of history must go through the experience of repeating history.

I get it because I can see it. Many others see it too. Unfortunately, many do not. If this
'agent of change' succeeds, half of those who blindly followed this charlatan, this spawn of
dysfunction whose name is Buraq, will be among the first to wring their hands and gnash their teeth when they realize what they've done, when they look around themselves in horror and see that their blessed one has not miraculously transported them to seventh heaven but that they've stupidly stumbled along and followed him to the eighth circle of hell. And it will be their doing. But it will be our fault as well for allowing it to happen. We will all pay the piper in one way or another. And the pipers name will be Obama.

A fairly well-known and respected fellow named frank Dane once said, 'Get all the fools on your side and you can get elected to anything.' Hmmm...now that is a thought worth pondering as we look ahead to November.

I believe we all should think very hard about these words as well - 'Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.' The fellow who said that was named George Washington.

Jesus wouldn't have been the community organizer since he came to seek and save that which was lost.

If anyone would have been the community organizer, it would have been Judas Iscariot.

John 12:4-6... Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

Judas held control of the money (treasurer) and always gave pretense that he was concerned for the poor. In the passage above he wanted something sold in order to add to the "treasury" so he could supposedly distribute it to the poor. Sounds like someone who says they're going to tax the oil companies and big corporations in order to give the money back to the people.
