In Defense Over Todd Akin Over Liberals Love Government Over God Comment
Clay Bowler | June 28, 2011 | 0 Comments Congressman Todd Akin is under fire today. The St. Louis Congressman running for US Senate against the dingy blonde in the Republican primary said something today that I don�t find too hard to back up. Yet, he comes under fire today. Here�s the details:

On Tony Perkins conservative radio program Akin said, �I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism, really, is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God. So, they�ve had a long history of not being at all favorable toward many of things that have been such a blessing to our country.�

Is this a valid point that liberals want to replace God with Government? I take you back to the 2008 election where one Barack Obama promising big government was compared to the messiah Jesus Christ himself, and this comparison was especially strong in the mainstream media where Obama even sent tingles up the legs of Chris Matthews, who bowed down to Obama.

Of course, there were all sores of references in art and in magazines of Obama being God-like. Remember these?







Or here is a Newsweek cover calling Obama the God of All Things.



Seriously, what is more offensive? Akin pointing out the far left�s belief in big government as a God or the fact the mainstream media worked hard to turn Obama into a God?
Or how about how photos were manipulated to make Obama appear to be a light in a religious sort of way?





And here is this hand made Obama poster that was at the Obama/Democrat campaign headquarters in Lake City, Florida.



Seriously, what did Akin say that can�t be at least considered in political debate? I don�t think what he said was that far off. The problem is liberals hate being called out. Of course journalists like Barb Shelly of the Kansas City Star have their head too deep in their asses to consider the context of the statement if it means questioning Barack Obama. In religion, it�s not recommended you question the head of the religion.

Wasn't the other half of the mainstream media (the conservative one) making him out to be a foreigner, terrorist, Muslim and/or Hitler? So in the end it all balances out.....or they're both wrong.

Look, up in the oval office ... It's a god ... It's a muslim ...


It's ... Obamallah!



Everyone on all sides of the mainstream media is just trying to get higher ratings among some set of the public to justify making more money.

Obviously that should be reversed. After Presidents die, in some Egyptian-style apotheosis they become gods and watch over our nation.

This is why so many Republicans have household shrines to Reagan. Sacrifice a goat to him once a year and, while he won't bless you personally, he'll bless another with great wealth. Some of that wealth will surely trickle down to you. Or not. Gods work in mysterious ways.

Are you saying you haven't been sacrificing the goat? Well now we know why all that wealthy has just continued to accrue at the top of the economy instead of trickling down. Thanks a lot.

No goat slicing ceremonies going on here..................cows, possibly.


Though your comment has humor it does not really address anything.

Weird as anything to see the town adjacent to my hometown mentioned here, even if it is copy and paste.

As conservative an area it is (or maybe was!), I imagine it may have done more harm than anything.

I'm surprised the article didn't mention how media and people outside of America also idolized Obama during last term's election. Is that still going on? I suppose we'll see!

I think "idolize" is just a convenient word to distort "support". Given that the EU as a whole is probably left of the Democrats, it's not really surprising that they prefer Democrats to Republicans, who are still up on the pulpit about issues like abortion that don't even make the radar in most of Europe.

Paul, the outspoken anti-war candidate on the right, might also be "idolized" if elected. Of course, the odds of having an anti-war GOP President are slim given the unabashed idolatry of war/ball-swinging on the American right.

Take seat and rest...gather yourself.

You must be dizzy from all that spin.
