Obama was “Appointed By God”

Just imagine the howls had this point of view been expressed about *Bush.*

President Obama, race and the unpatriotic right

This whole screed is chock-full-o-nuts, but it ends on the truly delusional:

I would remind the far right what the Apostle Paul wrote, ” … there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” Hence, Obama is the U.S. president and leader of the Free World because he was appointed by God.

Need I say more?

Yeah. You could say, “Sorry, I seem to have forgotten to take my anti-psychotic meds for today.”

A patriot is one who loves, supports and defends his or her nation and loves its citizens, especially the U.S. president. A patriot subscribes to symbolic values such as honoring the flag, singing the national anthem and fighting nonviolently for fundamental freedoms.

Wow. Really? Loving the president is now one of the defining values of a patriot? What the hell happened to “dissent is the highest form of patriotism?” And when did the Left decide that singing the national anthem was a Really Important Thing?

And I’m sorry, but fighting “nonviolently” for fundamental freedoms did not *win* those freedoms. Grabing the assault weapon of the day and perforating a whole lot of British and Hessian soldiers won those freedoms. That ain’t non-violent. I may not be an expert, but I’m pretty sure nailing someone with a lead ball the size and speed of a deer slug is kinda the direct opposite of “non-violent.”

The rest of the ill-informed and ill-intentioned piece perpetuates the poplar leftist myth that opposition to socialism is de facto racism.

Jeremy Levitt is associate dean for International Programs and a distinguished professor of international law at Florida A&M University College of Law in Orlando.

I weep for the future if this is the caliber of professor Universities stoop to employ these days.

This is another example of the Leftist Who Cried Racism, doing his part to eliminate the value in the word “racism.”

“Truthers” are those nutburgers who think that the 9/11 was perpetrated not by 19 pissed off Muslims, but by the US government.

“Birthers” are those zealous in their faith that Obama was born in Kenya or Indonesia or some damned place. (While there are a *lot* of unanswered basic questions regarding Barky’s paperwork – including so far a lack of a long-form birth certificate and the virtually complete absense of his university records and writings – the fact that his birth was announced at the time in a Hawaiian newspaper pretty much seals the deal).

It’s time for a new group: the “Racers.” Those who either see all opposition to Obama as racism, or simply choose to call all opposition to Obama “racism.”

And just as someone announcing that they are a “Truther” or a “Birther” is sufficient cause for them to be laughed out of public discourse… so too should the “Racers” be laughed out of the court of public opinion.
