My strategy has to be tragedy, catastrophe and after this you’ll call me “Your Majesty.”
~ Eric B. & Rakim, “My Melody” (circa 1984)
Baal, Molech, Ashtoreth, Aphrodite, Tammuz, Dagon – these are some of the false, pagan gods of antiquity God mandated that his chosen people, the Jews, utterly destroy before they could lay claim to the Promised Land – Israel. While the biblical narrative of the Kingdom Period (circa 1050-587 B.C.) was horrible (the Northern Kingdom had not one godly king), it was mixed regarding the Jews and the idolatry question in the Southern Kingdom (Judah), for they had several kings (David, Solomon, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Uzziah, Josiah) who at least tried to obey the first commandment – Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
In America, we are currently witnessing a modern version of political idolatry with President Barack Obama, or as I like to call him, “Obama the messiah.” So gargantuan is this man’s ego and his insatiable lust for absolute power that in just two months the Obama administration is already projected to spend over the next 10 years more money than all 43 of his predecessors combined. As if this weren’t outrageous enough, Obama and his socialist minions aren’t finished with constructing his grand utopian agenda, which I predict will even eclipse FDR’s “New Deal” in the 1930s or LBJ’s “Great Society” in the 1960s.
Recall an earlier article I wrote, “Obama: Manchild in the Promised Land,” where I quoted a great man whom I consider the true intellectual voice of the conservative movement, Dr. Michael Savage. He did a masterful Freudian analysis of the motives behind Obama’s naked power grabs and his narcissistic desire to be deified. Dr. Savage wrote:
No one has ever said no to Obama. From his childhood, through his early career, until now, no authority figure has said, “Stop, you can’t do that.” So he has developed a sense of self-righteousness and political invincibility … until someone is willing to stand up to him and say, “Stop! Enough! You will not drain the Treasury! You will not socialize this country,” he will continue to steamroll our freedoms.
The prophet Daniel, confronting another megalomaniac during the sixth century B.C., the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, refused to bow down to this tyrant, but instead glorified God with a magnificent apologetic condemning man-worship and ending with a rhetorical question worthy of Socrates:
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
It is impossible to understand Barack Obama unless you understand that he is indelibly shaped by his pampered and perverted childhood. Since no one ever told the Manchild, “No!” Obama has developed an infantile, overarching and all-consuming sense of entitlement. It’s like Obama is saying, “I am the president of the United States. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, to whomever I want,” and paraphrasing the words of the prophet Daniel, and none can stay MY hand, or say unto ME, What doest thou?
The first commandment demands we put all faith in God. This frees humanity from pursuing lesser gods – wealth, sex, power, popularity. In the 20th century, we have repeatedly seen naked tyranny, shameless power grabs and unconstitutional behavior from a Lenin, a Stalin, a Mussolini, a Robert Mugabe, an Idi Amin, an Ayatollah Khomeini, or some tin-pot dictator from a banana republic in South America, but would we have expected these totalitarian acts (e.g., taxation without representation) from a president of the United States?
For President Obama, admittedly a certified socialist with fascist tendencies, to have arisen so far, so fast, so meteorically in just over two years is simply amazing to me. However, I cannot overstate the fact that Obama could not have achieved what he has done without being enabled by his following co-conspirators:
- A slavish, propaganda media whose fawning coverage (and obfuscation) belies any pretense of journalistic ethics;
- The Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate, overruling bipartisanship and constitutional checks and balances while bowing to Obama the messiah’s every unlawful whim;
- A Supreme Court that, despite overwhelming evidence that Obama isn’t a “natural born” U.S. citizen according to Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, so far has refused to grant certiorari to any of the dozens of cases that have come before it on this most vital issue of our Republic;
- An uninformed, uneducated, apathetic public who have for decades been beguiled by fascist leaders and the cult of celebrity (JFK, Oprah, Hollywood). It’s difficult to live as a liberated thinker when most of us are products of the Stalinist public schools that have for decades taught us to hate America and to believe in an educational system that forbids God, the Bible and morality in favor of Marxist “social studies,” teaching “Daddy’s Roomate” and putting condoms on cucumbers.
Now we return to our initial inquiry – Why does America treat President Obama like a demigod and worship him as god? As Dr. Savage told us, no one ever told Obama no, combined with his own megalomania, acute narcissism and radical political background rooted in infantile entitlement liberalism, Marxism, the racist rhetoric of liberation theology (Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Father Pfleger), the Marxist community activism (Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, ACORN) and his most diabolical subterfuge, Statolatry – the worship of the State.
National Review commentator Jonah Goldberg, in his timely book “Liberal Fascism,” wrote eloquently of statism, saying, “[President Woodrow] Wilson’s view of politics could be summarized by the word, ‘statolatry,’ or state worship. … Wilson wrote approvingly in ‘The State,’ [that it] ‘does now whatever experience permits or the times demand.'”
Goldberg continued his apologetic analyzing America’s growing love affair with fascism. Starting with President Wilson (1913-21) and continuing in earnest with Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933-45), Goldberg said of the progressive movement of the late 19th and early 20th century that:
The progressives viewed the traditional system of constitutional checks and balances as an outdated impediment to progress because such horse-and-buggy institutions were a barrier to their own ambitions. Dogmatic attachment to constitutions, democratic practices, and antiquated laws was the enemy of progress. …
America, whom will you choose? Obama, whose worldview appears to follow an old school hip hop lyric by “Eric B. & Rakim” – Cause my strategy has to be tragedy, catastrophe and after this you’ll call me “Your Majesty.” Or will America throw all the bums out, repent and return to God who plainly mandated in the first commandment …
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
