When Barack Obama was first elected for his first term, it disturbed me greatly that so many white Christians were calling for immediate, overnight submission to him. (This is after he was only President-ELECT, mind you....George W. Bush was still President for two-plus months before Obama's Inauguration!! Bush, HIMSELF participated in the worshipful madness, as I recall. I lost respect for Bush at that point.)
And, if a white guy like me showed the slightest QUESTIONING of these poor servile folks burdened by their white guilt, why, we were pegged as RACISTS. Of course you will never get these folks to admit it NOW, but that's what they did back in 2008...they gave Obama the respect due to a President BEFORE he was President, just like Barack got the Nobel Peace Prize before he actually DID anything good OR bad as Commander-in-Chief...."just because he was elected," you see.
But he cheated his way TO the White House, why should he be praised AT ALL for that??
Here's how he cheated. Yes, Obama was allegedly the first "Black" President and THAT explains the gushing he got, but the reality is Obama is MIXED RACE, not "Black"....he only marketed himself as Black to win the election. He would NOT have been able to pull the white guilt vote and black racist vote in large enough numbers to win the election, in my opinion, if he told the truth about himself...he's Mixed Race (one white parent, one black one.) Instead, people were conned into "making history" by electing "the First Black President" and THAT is why the P.C. crowd, especially Christians determined to show their submission to Government, fawned over him so much. Because they bought the lie that he's Black.
Obama is no more "The First Black President" than BILL CLINTON was, Lol!! (And they called HIM that, too, during his impeachment in '98-'99.) Wake up, people!!
Anyway, where did electing Obama because of his lie, FAILING to question him and "vet" him properly and FAWNING over him in such a servile way GET us, in the end?? It got us eight years of a President who pushed abortion and same-sex marriage like no other President has, and now, it seems it's all ending up in OBAMAGATE. What IS Obamagate, you say?? I'll post a link at the bottom of this blog, but in a nutshell Obamagate IS the biggest scandal in American Political History and the guy so many fawned over and swooned over IS at the center of it. Personally, I hope he's jailed for it...we shall see how it all unfolds. He lied his way INTO office and he lied while IN office.
Whether or not Obama IS brought to justice, there's a lesson here for us Christians. Yes, we are to SUBMIT to Government but never to WORSHIP those who lead us...when we do, we wind up with "Obamagates." And "submission" (for us as Americans, anyway, with Free Speech guaranteed to us) doesn't mean we can't QUESTION our leaders or hold them accountable for their actions. "Honoring" them does not mean we have to TRUST them...Scripture WARNS us not to put our trust in men. We need to be a little LESS trustful of those leaders deciding our fate in this Coronavirus Crisis. When I hear that New York State, the "epicenter" of the Virus, now says that 66% of new cases HAVE complied with Governor Cuomo's Stay-at-Home orders, it is NOT wrong to question whether Cuomo knows what he's doing!! And we should NOT feel guilty DISTRUSTING those leaders who claim that they have to sequester us indefinitely because "every life matters," yet we KNOW these same leaders are leaving abortion clinics open EVEN NOW because they are "necessary services."
Submit to your leaders WHEN THEY ACTUALLY TAKE OFFICE, yes!! Refer to them as "Mr. President" DURING their time in office and even AFTER, but never BEFORE they're inaugurated. It is not wrong to question them or hold them accountable, and it IS wrong to worship them or fawn over them, making it EASY for them to lead us like sheep to the slaughter. THEY are sinners just like WE are, and remember that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" if we give them power they do NOT have on top of that which they DO. THESE are some of the Lessons From "Obamagate," which, as promised, will be defined WELL in this link....
