Golden Calf 2012: “Our Lord and Savior Barack Obama”

On “The Soul Train Awards Program” last Sunday night on Black Entertainment Television, Academy Award Winning Actor (Ray), Jamie Foxx, said,

First of all, give an honor to God and our lord and savior Barack Obama. Barack Obama.

Well, after you pick your jaw up off the floor, let us dissect this statement in 3 ways:

1. It was an attention-seeking statement, designed to elicit endearment from the Black Americans in attendance and watching on television. The statement infers that President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) is the lord and savior of all Black Americans.

Brilliant Economist Dr. Thomas Sowell, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University, who happens to be a Black American, has a less lofty opinion of the President:

Barack Obama is one of those people who are often wrong but never in doubt. When he burst upon the national political scene as a presidential candidate in 2008, even some conservatives were impressed by his confidence.

But confident ignorance is one of the most dangerous qualities in a leader of a nation. If he has the rhetorical skills to inspire others to have the same confidence in him, then you have the ingredients for national disaster.

…How has Obama gotten away with so many things that are foreign to American beliefs and traditions? Partly it is because of a quiescent media, sharing many of his ideological views and/or focused on the symbolism of his being “the first black President.” But part of his success must be credited — if that is the word — to his own rhetorical talents and his ability to project an image that many people accept and welcome.

The role of a confidence man is not to convince skeptics, but to help the gullible believe what they want to believe. Most of what Barack Obama says sounds very persuasive if you don’t know the facts — and often sounds like sheer nonsense if you do. But he is not trying to convince skeptics, nor worried about looking ridiculous to informed people who won’t vote for him anyway.

2. Foxx was reinforcing the image of  Obama as the guy who gives away all of the “free stuff”, an image that helped to solidify his voting base, the 47%, if you will.

Rush Limbaugh put it best, the day after the election, when, on his radio program, he said:

Conservatism, in my humble opinion, did not lose last night. It’s just very difficult to beat Santa Claus. It is practically impossible to beat Santa Claus. People are not going to vote against Santa Claus, especially if the alternative is being your own Santa Claus.

…All of these things that define the traditional institutions that made this country great, that’s what the Romney campaign was about. It was rejected. That way, or that route to prosperity was sneered at. That route to prosperity was rejected. The people who voted for Obama don’t believe in it. They don’t think it’s possible. They think the game’s rigged. They think the deck is stacked against them.

They think that the only way they’re gonna have a chance for anything is if somebody comes along and takes from somebody else and gives it to them. Santa Claus! And it’s hard to beat Santa Claus. Especially it’s hard to beat Santa Claus when the alternative is, “You be your own Santa Claus.” “Oh, no! I’m not doing that. What do you mean, I have to be my own Santa Claus? No, no. No, no, no. I want to get up every day and go to the tree. You’re the elves,” meaning us.

3. Finally, Foxx’s statement was blasphemous and idolatrous…on purpose. And, the pitiful thing is, this wasn’t the first time an idiot like Foxx has done something like this.

Per Todd Starnes, writing for foxnews.com:

Earlier this month Florida A&M professor Barbara Thompson published a book titled “The Gospel According to Apostle Barack.” The book likens Obama to Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I learned that Jesus walked the earth to create a more civilized society, Martin (Luther King) walked the earth to create a more justified society, but, Apostle Barack, the name he was called in my dreams, would walk the earth to create a more equalized society, for the middle class and working poor,” she wrote in an excerpt published by The Daily Caller. “Apostle Barack, the next young leader with a new cause, had been taken to the mountaintop and allowed to see over the other side.”

A controversial painting of President Obama, posed as Jesus Christ on the cross, is part of an art exhibit at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston.

The Michael D’Antuono painting is called “The Truth” — and features the president with his arms stretched out — wearing a crown of thorns.

The original debut of the painting four years ago was cancelled due to public outrage, Design & Trend reported.

At the time D’Antuono told Air America that he didn’t mean to “disrespect people’s religion. It’s meant as a political piece.”

Last month, Italian artists came under fire for creating figurine replicas of the president and first lady that appeared in Nativity scenes.

One nun told Reuters it was a “cartoon version of a Nativity scene.”

“Something as beautiful as the traditional nativity scene shouldn’t be spoiled by these figurines of personalities and I don’t think children like them,” another critic told Reuters.

And during the Democratic National Convention a number of street vendors sold products depicting President Obama as God — including one poster that declared, “Prophecy Fulfilled.”

The products were not sanctioned by the DNC.

I really do not know if I will be able to take four more years of this idolatry.

A word of warning to Jamie Foxx, and the rest of the Obama Worshipers out there: Do you remember what happened when the Jews, whom Moses was leading out of bondage from Egypt, built and started worshiping a Golden Calf?

Read Exodus 32. It was not pretty.

Obama may be your lord and savior, kiddo, but he sure ain’t mine, or any other Christian American’s.

Allow me to introduce to you the late, Dr. S.M. Lockridge, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, a great man, who just happened to have been a Black American, explaining exactly whom our Savior is.

Until He comes,

KJ

      “Why in the would he say that?”

      Several reasons. One reason could be he was seeking attention. The others, more cynical and/or revealing of his character…

    Vote for or against someone based upon a person’s race is racism. Unless, of course, you are a leftist/socialist/marxist/useful idiot then it’s expected…

  3. I totally dont get why the trolls come to blogs and try to pick fights. Seriously, they have some sort of mental disease or something. Get a life I say.
    I agree 100% KJ, I am more than a little discouraged at the prospect of watching my country build that calf and worship it. I think we need to remember that there were those to did NOT worship the calf and so were spared.
    We need to be like the jews in Egypt, living in the culture but not part of it.
    Excellent post.
