What do you think about them putting down the choice of non-violent work with community, over going to war?

Question

To have a crowd chanting & cheering & applauding someone for putting down a man who could have went to Wall St. but choose to spend years lifting up people so they could live independent lives was shocking to me. Are Christians hypocrites. Isn't what Obama did exactly what Christians are supposed to do? I am in no way putting down anyone in the military because I believe we all follow the path we are meant to follow but I am trying to understand why anyone would defend a person putting down the path of non-violent service. How can anyone with any decency, integrity go along with this. Please explain especially if you are a Christian how you can defend shaming a humble christain man such as Barack Obama.

Answer 1

They look down on  people trying to lift communities up, shame on them.  Once again is revealed who the real elitists are and how Republicans rely on misdirection and lies to sell their agenda of social darwinism and aggression.  Most of those people chanting aren't upper class so they're chanting for policies that will hurt their family and friends and that put a gigantic burden of debt on their children and grandchildren.

Palins speech has got to be the the biggest fraud in history since another Republican governor stood before the American people and assured them he was a uniter, not a divider, that he was gonna change to tone of Washington into one of civility and respect and most of all that a generation shaped by Vietnam must remember the lessons of Vietnam: When America uses force in the world, the cause must be just, the goal must be clear and the victory must be overwhelming.

We all know how that turned out. Conservatives talk allot about empty rhetoric not being enough yet that's all they have offered the good American people for over a decade to sell their agenda of personal enrichment, inept government and reckless foreign policy. Policies that bankrupted the US and sacrificed more than 4000 young Americans for lies, oil and the profits of Haliburton and other war profiteers

The thing about Christean conservatives is they have their own Jesus and He's nothing like the one we know

Answer 2

Yea, I've seen his, as you say 'christain' leader... and that is sickening.

And I agree with Sarah Palin.

NoBaMa has never done anything and never will. He's a loser and he'll lose in November. And he would have NEVER made it on Wall Street.

Nothing more than an empty suit with a telepromter.

Answer 3

While a community organizer sounds like someone who makes sure the bake sale is in order, it isn't.  A community organizer is someone who gets the people involved with local politics.  It's how influence should be made in Congress, and not by the current system of lobbyists with agendas.  I'm not saying that a community organizer has more responsibilities then any given mayor/governor...but it should be stated that the government would work with the people a lot better if there was more proactive community organizers.  

Answer 4

That's what Republicans understand...God and Guns, in that order

Answer 5

He could not have went to wall-street, how about you do a little research on your man, no one wanted him. That is why he ended up being a "community organizer".

How about looking into his less than stellar short-lived law career.

Answer 6

  Obama is the biggest fraud in the history of American Politics

Dont you people get it ? He says what you think you want to hear

. Do you really want the government taking over every aspect of your life?

research his past .. he is a nobody who hung around Washington Big Wigs at cocktail  parties..oh ya..and a community organiser..

How impressive.  lol .. what a loser

Answer 7

Community organizers practice a form of petty extortion.  (Pay up or I'll sue; pay up or I'll picket; pay up or I'll boycott; pay up or I'll do something else) Jesse Jackson nearly got charged with RICO violations.

Answer 8

Reminds me of wrestle-mania.

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!

That's the mentality we're dealing with, folks. Human beings who shoot helpless defenseless animals out of helicopters.

Does Palin know how much gas costs these days? Oh, right. It's probably put on the Taxpayer's tab.

Answer 9

Christians are supposed to be humble and serve others. For most of my adult life, I've been horrified by the way Jesus' message is hijacked and abused in politics. Yes, many Christians are hypocrites and it comes back to bite all of us.

Answer 10

they were not putting it down

Simply stated the fact that a mayor and a gov have far more responsibilities than he has ever had.

Answer 11

That 'war' has lifted up and freed 50 million people from murderous, psychotic tyranny. That 'war' has brought democracy to people who have never had it in the entire history of their nations.

I'd say that the 'community organizers' can now move in and start their work. Organize a few after school basketball programs. I'd have liked to have seen a 'community organizer' try that before the 'war' made their work possible.

But good question. Hope that helped.  

Answer 12

It indicates a PArty out of touch with the concerns and issues of most Americans.
