Obama Invokes Jesus, Discovers Great Idea
by Big Dog on Aug 27, 2007 at 12:59 Uncategorized
B. Hussein Obama was out on the campaign trail discussing how his vision for America is greater than any other. He also decided it was time to bring up hurricane Katrina with a stop in New Orleans. Katrina has not been mentioned in quite some time so it is time for the Democrats to raise that issue again to show incompetence of the Federal Government (not just the Bush administration). Yep, if the feds are to blame then it is the entire government, many of whom have been employed long before Bush and will be long after. B. Hussein invoked the name of Jesus and in so doing, raised a very valid point:
“Getting ready to talk to you today, I recall what Jesus said at the end of the Sermon on the Mount,” Obama said at New Orleans’ First Emmanuel Baptist Church. “He said, whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.”
“The rains descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. But it did not fall, because it was founded on the rock,” he continued.
That rock, he said, was a principal of brotherhood exemplified by the church during Hurricane Katrina — but not the federal government.
“Something was wrong in America. Our foundation wasn’t built on the rock,” he said. CNN
Mr. Hussein has it partly correct. He stated that the foundation of America was not built upon a rock (our founders would disagree) but in reality it was New Orleans that was not built upon a rock. Perhaps, if they had built the place on a rock, above sea level, then it would not have flooded. When one looks up and sees ships, there is a problem. What was the great idea? Rebuild New Orleans on rocks! How about we bulldoze New Orleans in and fill that cesspool with plenty of good, strong rocks so that levees will not be required and so that she will be above sea level? Then we can build upon those rocks and they can weather the storm as depicted in the Bible.
You suppose that New Orleans crumbled because it is a sin city that is not built upon any type of strong foundation moral or otherwise? B. Hussein is onto something here and I would much more supportive if my tax dollars went to filling in that eyesore and making it safe.
