What a relief — local conservative willing, able to police political candidate’s faith choices
It was a great relief to me today to read a conservative writer’s column in our local newspaper explaining that Barak Obama’s religious affiliation was done from political expediency. Like all liberal politicians, according to this dummy, Obama chose which church to join based solely on the way that church would turn out volunteers and enhance his standing in his political base.
Of course, this genius pundant has absolutely no hard evidence, not even anecdotal testimony, to support his opinion. He doesn’t, by the way, even call this opinion. He presents it as fact.
I wrote a letter to the editor pointing out 1) the column’s absurdities, and, 2) my objections to this “Heavenly Scoutmaster” using his column to delineate what candidates make what religious choices and why.
Thank God that He chose to send us one so blessed with heavenly insight to guide us all! I was afraid, here in America, that we’d be forced to fall back on making our own choices in matters of faith and religion, based on our own reasons. What a relief to know we aren’t stuck doing something like that in America — we simply need to trust these “conservative Taliban” surrogates to take care of our choices for us.
