Obama's "experience" is the world's tired experience of the envious and unproductive barbarian. It's based on having been brainwashed to conflate minority-promoting human-secularism (community agitation) with spiritual respect for higher values. By definition, spiritual respect for higher values entails the respect one gives based on one's own mental processes, not based on elite-governors-know-best processes. Jesus did not say force the children to come. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Obama is the barbarian finely dressed in false prophecy, who says he will bring transparency, who then cynically agitates, pushes, and "leads from behind" the scenes, lies about his intentions, and falsely packages his poisons. Were his words reliably true to his agenda, what child would go to him? The Left's and Obama's idea of "progress" is for underlings to shut up and do as Obama says, if they know what's good for them. The experienced, corrupt, and unwise idea of political "progressives" has nothing to do with marketing decent respect for each person's individual dignity. The Left's brains are totally immersed in forcing democratic nations to fall under know-it-all despotism. They are resigned that there is no higher progress than to organize the global community into a hierarchy wherein elites will market everyone else to their places, wherein the first ones now will there be last, the useful idiots and the herd will be thinned, and Gaia will greenly grin. The Plan seems well underway in the middle east. So the Left does have a marketing plan: It's called gangster cannibalism. The Romans called it barbarism. Corrupt, ignorant, and easily bribed constituents will ride above producing little doggies, whose misfortune is none of the Left's. Such hollowing of humanity is the "New Feed Lot Plan," and the zombie brains of the Left are deeply soaked and experienced in it. Get along little peasants, for you know Leftland will be your new home. Problem is, once Obama's followers have sacked civilization, how will they feed themselves thereafter?

Human secularism and communism are religions for a moral code for the here-and-now. Just because they have no hereafter component does not mean they are less mythological, better reasoned, or more scientifically based than any myth about the hereafter. Indeed, we can hardly do without myths. One's very name is myth. You are not your name, and whether you show to be "worthy" of your name is rationalized only in myth. When a myth is not popular, a devotee, for sake of expediency, may conflate words to seem more palatable. Depending on intended audience, Obama tailors his representation for communism like he does his accent. Even so, his unwavering direction and appointments make clear that he is a devotee. The only doubt is whether he is a true-believing useful-idiot or a mere operator, bound to a web of cynical opportunists, hedge-fund cannibals, and criminals. Whatever his religion, it's not based on respect for reasoned debate, but on know-it-all, relentless pursuit of control over all means of persuasion. He may be a wise-guy, but he's not a wise man.

The experienced, corrupt, and unwise idea of political "progressives" has nothing to do with decent respect for each person's individual dignity. Rather, the Left's brains are resigned that there is no higher purpose or "progress" than to organize the global community into a hierarchy wherein elites, rather than any Invisible Hand, will assign everyone else their fair and proper places --- wherein the first ones now will there be last, the useful idiots and the herd will be thinned, and Gaia will greenly grin. Problem is, once Obama's cronies and followers have sacked civilization, how will they feed themselves thereafter?
The god Obama talks to is the spirit of community organizing communism. Most Americans detest that commie religion. However, with the grace of fed money, that religion's ethos of "forced charity" for the entitlement minded is broadcast throughout the land. We need enough wooden stakes to back central gov off. Fed control over education is particularly dangerous. The Department of Education should be shuttered. Government is not supposed to establish any religious sect as a state religion. So, why is fed gov given so much regulatory and financial power to force-teach the parables of communism? Were local control to be returned to schools, most inculcation of b.s. under the secular religion of communism would stop. We would not be having traditional mores banned under statist political correctness. Parents would not be vetoed in opposing detailed instruction about sexual practices to children. Kids would not be exposed to unbalanced notions that paint past patriots as evil colonizers and earth despoilers. So long as the DOE abides, the monster's mouthpieces will continue to be fed and teacher's unions will continue at moral hazard to discredit republican virtues of responsible self reliance. The great lie is that central gov can affirmatively solve the nation's financial woes by tax and money policy and pump priming. The more power we give the central stimulaters, the more damage they do. The best thing central gov could do would be just to get the hell out of the way. No Bama.
Given how tightly Obama has sealed away his past, his marriage to a woman who thinks America is a downright mean country, his book of myths, and his recital that America could be “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,” it's obvious Obama deeply believes in the power of myths for slipping the rug out from under an entire society. He thinks we're rubes ripe for being picked. Given the power we have allowed to be consolidated in a corrupt central command, he may be right. I wonder if Obama ever questions how long his alliance with corruption can keep this charade going? Meantime, his media allies wave off all questioners as conspiracy nuts. When the warden's corrupt, he doesn't much care if his prisoners sense it. It probably sends thrills up his leg.
OWS: I guess they want to "progress" us to the collectivist utopia by trashing all our best scenery. I wish these "Progressives" would explain what they mean by progress. They readily accept that natural selection is not guided by any intrinsic direction, and they have no belief in any notion of spiritual progress. So what is this "progress" they talk about, if it's neither in physics (nature), nor in metaphysics (spirit)? Does the life of a bum somehow square that circle? I guess they can howl under pretense that their personal pleasuring and pillaging against producers is principled. I guess they can pretend that human collectivism ought to stand above nature, without being outside science. They can deliberately and pathologically close their eyes to their own hypocrisies and contradictions. But why would they hearken to such strategies? The only answer that seems to make sense: Their bodies, minds, and spirits are conditioned to promote the selfish, fleshy, dopey principles of the unprincipled over the principles of disciplined self respect. In other words, their brains are thrilled entirely below their belts --- even when they're urgently professing otherwise. Being unwilling to respect the walking paradox of any Source of higher principles, they live as their own empty, scroungy, walking lies. A swarm of rotting flies.
I'm not a fundamental convert, but G.K. Chesterton did have interesting things to say, especially in the last half of The Everlasting Man. Apart from Judaism, think about the religions and myths that were prevalent before Christianity. In Carthage, the baby roastings during worship of Moloch. In Asia, the search for hope in the hopelessness of a chain of suffering reincarnations, just to finally achieve release in the nothingness of nirvana. In Europe, the pagan gods of the Greeks and Romans may have been the best of the myths, but they did not offer much of an idea of progress, either in the here-and-now or the hereafter. And don't forget the bloodthirsty god concepts that came later, in the Middle East form of Allah and the New World forms of Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, Yum Cimil, and Ixtab. Then look at Scientism's take on unguided Darwinism: There's no "progress" in it. So, why do adherents of scientism so often call their politics "progressive?" Apart from using Gaia-worship and collectivist-plundering as conveniences to mask selfish-immediate-gratifications at expense of country and generations to come, what's progressive, hopeful, good, or redeeming about "progressive" politicians? I think there may abide a kind of spiritual progression. Maybe in raising consciousness towards self-fulfilling-beliefs in meta-values that move society to enhance not material progress, but sustainable wonder, love, comfort, and joy. So, don't consider Christianity in a vacuum. Consider it in the context of the poison stews it has had to contend among. On comparative basis, it seems fair to say that Christianity, even if in large part based in allegories and myths, did much "to progress" cultures to curb them from rampant nihilism and bloodletting and towards decent civilization. At least, when Christianity was not being challenged by heresies reminiscent of previous dead-end myths and later self-worships in the forms of communism, national socialism, and secular humanism. But for the Christian Crusades, what would have been preserved of Byzantine Rome? Where would the Muslim onslaught have ended? Substantial truth and goodness may well abide in the Christian tradition, head and shoulders above most other social traditions. If Christianity perpetuates unsustainable inconsistencies and prejudices, resolve those, without leaving a vacuum that would suck back all the poison stews of the past.
A true libertarian, who values liberty in every thinking, responsible adult, would be more than one dimensional. He would be on jealous alert against any upset in the field that tended to consolidate power in a few, of no loyalty to any value higher than themselves, to destabliize and come to rule politicians and governments. He would not be a useful idiot to any kind of oligarchic tyranny --- whether based on crony bribery of voters or crony hedging of corrupt derived wealth. Read Bowing to Beijing.
To get through difficult adolescence, a civilization must learn to accept austerity as a consequence of callow prayers having led it to bad decisions. Our problem is not that God grants too few of our prayers. Our problem is that God grants more of our prayers than we, in our spiritual adolescence, have yet learned to take sane responsibility for. Examples: Iran prays for nukes and is prepared to take the consequences, but only because Iran's state religion is insane. For 3 years, unsane Hussein Obama prayed for: (1) spending increases, (2) Obamacare, (3) the humbling of America, (4) greater respect for Islamic and Communist regimes, (5) general amnesty for border jumpers by executive malfeasance, (6) downgrading of State's rights, (7) power to wage war by executive fiat, (8) shadow government by Czarlings in love with Mao and public displays of immodesty, (9) the organizing of entitlement-minded communities, and (10) a juggernaut of elitist enabling institutions. Those 10 prayers were granted to Obama.
Yet, now he blames everyone but himself for the collateral damage, which easily should have been foreseeable to any responsible-minded adult. This is naked, spiritual hollowness dressed up in personal hubris. This hollowing, unconscionable infantilism is epidemic in America. Until children develop a mature conscience, they must go through a phase where they believe much more in themselves than in God or their parents. The longer adolescents are apologized for, while their immediate welfare is sheltered from consequences, the longer many remain in spiritual adolescence (like Muslims, Collectivists, and Black Liberation Theologists).
All the power in the world cannot lead an adolescent to spiritual maturity until he becomes prepared to take personal responsibility for his fondest prayers. God allows the world to endure the consequences of its bad choices. America will recover when the Republic learns to stop sheltering adolescents from the consequences of praying for more than they are prepared to take responsibility for. Maybe a day of Thanksgiving will help us learn to be thankful for the opportunity to learn from our mistakes.
