Have you seen the Temple of Barack, erected hastily by the concert stagecrafters who did the most recent Britney Spears stageworks?
It stands on the hallowed ground at Invesco Field, the latest version of Mile High Stadium, home of the Broncos. And from between its marbled porticoes will emerge tonight the Messiah, like Lincoln getting up and walking out of his own memorial monument.
Obama is, after all, the same height as Lincoln.
The folks at Breitbart
have noted the fun the right seems to be having with Obama's temple. And perhaps this explains Clinton's absence from the stadium tonight.
Maybe the temple has virgins and the organizers were just being prudent.
Interestingly, this whole idea of a move to the stadium for his acceptance speech came about before his trip to Germany had been executed, and it's clear that his staff has absorbed the less than stellar impact this trip made on Barack's numbers. Now they're engaged in trying to walk that fine line between impressing the stupid like a god among them and seeming 'down to earth' for the not-so-stupid, so as not to annoy them with pretentiousness.
A month ago they wouldn't have worried about that second part. Nice to see they learn on the job.
Even the speech, they say, has been 'toned down' from its lofty and atmospheric original intent, brought back to earth so the Messiah can seem like one of the humans whom he graces with his presence.
The New York Times has apparently come up with
an article about him that drools over his superhuman qualities, keen focus, control of his emotions, attention to higher goals, etc. Do not read with a full stomach. Seriously, it's nauseating. Who else would even the Times talk about in this fawning way? I can't think of anyone.
For me, Obama still has not talked in specifics about his planned programs for this nation. That is the deal, the whole deal. Once people begin to digest and understand how he thinks, what he believes and what he intends for us, I am convinced he will NEVER be elected without a massive and recordbreaking bit of skullduggery, which is by no means out of the question.
Reference point -- when Michelle spoke earlier this week about 'not seeing the world as it is but the world as it SHOULD be', she was lifting lines from a book by one of America's best known communist radicals, Saul Alinsky, who endorsed violence and outright deception as means not unworthy of the ends he had in mind.
The Obamas are steeped in the kind of social radicalism that permits and welcomes violent change for the sake of change, an uprooting and upending of our present traditional capitalism-based society in favor of socialism, fascism and communism. If you don't understand the danger in this, please do some basic reading before you slide into that voting booth in the fall.
