You Will Know Them by Their Fruit PDF Print E-mail

The scriptures tell us that in the “last days” there will be false prophets and many will be deceived. We do not know for certain whether the last days have arrived, however, if false prophets are a sign of the “coming apocalypse,” we have them on the scene today in large measure.

While on the topic of scripture, it is becoming quite apparent that there is a spiritual dimension to the political campaign of Democrat front runner, Barak Obama. If he is plugged into the New Age religion beliefs of Oprah Winfrey, and there are indications that is the situation, that may explain the blank stares and fanatical behavior of some of the Obama followers, who can’t explain in rational words why they support his candidacy for the most powerful office in the world, President of the United States of America.

Winfrey is leading something of a New Age revival and is openly denying and blaspheming Jesus Christ in televised and printed statements. New Age is ancient pagan religious beliefs and practices repackaged to appeal to the current generation.

In the contest between Obama and Hillary Clinton, the old saying that “it takes one to know one” comes into play. Sen. Clinton and her unholy team are convinced that if the truth is revealed regarding the “real Obama” behind the youthful looks and meaningless smooth talk, Americans, even liberal Democrats, will reject him as an unacceptable candidate for the highest office on the planet.

Mrs. Clinton is no different from Obama in her Marxist ideology. She is simply more experienced.

Obama’s most recent revelation of the “real” candidate behind the public image was his comments before a group of wealthy Democrats in San Francisco. He expressed his frustration at being unable to convince people in small towns and communities in Pennsylvania to believe his promises that government, with him in charge, can solve their problems.

“Our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives,” Obama said, according to the Huffington Post.

He added, “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not.”

Then he described them as gun toting, Bible thumping bigots who don’t understand what is happening and therefore reject his vague socialist, elitist remedies.  

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustration.”

Clinton took full advantage of the blunder.

“Pennsylvanians don’t need a president who looks down on them. They need a president who stands up for them, who fights for them.”

Obama gave Clinton more ammunition later in Indiana when he proclaimed, “The same thing is happening here in Indiana.” He said that people are disillusioned with government inaction on economic issues and that makes people base their votes on other issues such as guns, gay marriage and religion.

These comments have opened the way for both Clinton and the campaign of Sen. John McCain to point out that Obama is an “elitist out of touch with average people.”

Democrat strategist Kristen Powers gave an honest assessment: “They are things that I think in a liberal world sound totally normal, and outside of that world I don’t know that he appreciates how it sounds. And it just sounds very elitist, and it sounds like he’s looking down on people.”
