Barack “The Obamamessiah” Obama has Yet to Attend Church Since Winning Presidential Election
Could this be the CHANGE that Obama was talking about during the campaign … not attending church?
This is rather curious, Barack Obama has yet to attend a church service since he won the Presidential election. The Obamamessiah does not feel the need nor the want to attend church service. This coming from the man that stated he never missed a church service for approximately 20 years when Obama and his family attended Reverend Wright’s (God Damn America and US of KKK) Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Heading to the gym instead of church on Sunday? As the future President of the United States, Barack Obama is supposed to set a trend and example for the people to follow. His actions and comments show what America has in store for the next four years. Frankly, not attending church after making his faith important during the Presidential campaign is unsettling to say the least.
President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.
On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym.
As Flopping Aces boldly puts it, “When your supporters think you are god I suppose you don’t feel the need to worship the real one!”

People’s Republic of Vermont: Pledge of Allegiance Controversy in Woodbury Elementary School in Vermont
When was the last time that Vermont ever sided with that which is actually patriotic and traditional?
Once again welcome to the People’s Socialist Republic of Vermont formerly known as the Green Mountain State has an issue when it comes to honoring America. What is the gripe this time? It appears there is a controversy at the Woodbury Elementary School over the daily recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance. Once again the state of Vermont has forgotten that they are actually part of the United States of America.
But efforts to restore them have erupted into a bitter dispute in this tiny town, with school officials blocking the exercise from classrooms amid concerns that it holds nonparticipating children up to scorn.
Supporters say the classroom is the place for it, and the disagreement has fueled an increasingly acrimonious debate among the town’s 810 residents.
“The whole thing is tearing our community apart,” said Heather Lanphear, 39, the mother of a first-grade student.
Unlike other Pledge controversies, this one centers on how and where schoolchildren say it, not whether they should be allowed to.
The controversy began when Ted Tedesco, 55, a retired U.S. Marine Corps Major, began circulating petitions calling for its return as a daily practice of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The pledge was allowed; however, it could not be done in the classroom but instead were marched out of the classroom and to the auditorium. The touchy-feely principal and school board defended these actions as they did not want those not saying the pledge to feel bad.
“We don’t want to isolate children every day in their own classroom, or make them feel they’re different,” Principal Michaela Martin said.
Martin and School Board Chairwoman Retta Dunlap defended the practice, saying it restored the Pledge to the school as requested, preserved the rights of students who — for political or religious reasons — didn’t want to participate and gave others the opportunity to pledge their allegiance.
Political and religious reasons? If a child has an issue with saying the words “under God”, heaven forbid then all they have to do is not say those words while taking the pledge. However, maybe the principal, school board and someone can explain “political” reasons. A child lives in America, is allowed the rights and services of living in America and is being provided an education in America and cannot Pledge of Allegiance to America? Exactly what country do they want to pledge allegiance to?
Maybe in the People’s Republic of Vermont they would more allow the song below to be played and recited by school children every morning? Some hoe I doubt whether the liberal educators would object.
Coming soon to Vermont class rooms …Vermont educators will soon be playing this video before class every morning

Just in Time for the Christmas Season … ‘Why Believe in a God?’ Ad Campaign on Buses
More attacks against the reason for the Season …
“Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion.”
Coming soon to a bus near you in the Washington, DC area during the Christmas season … “Why believe in a God? Just be good for goodness’ sake”. The campaign against Christmas, Christ and God is in full holiday swing. Under the guise of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists feeling alone during Christmas, the American Humanist Association has begun a $40,000 ad campaign against God and religion. The agnostics have want to take their atheism message for a ride this year. Pay close attention to their anti-God message as its not just about personal morality. Think its not, check out the double talk.
Edwords said the purpose isn’t to argue that God doesn’t exist or change minds about a deity, although “we are trying to plant a seed of rational thought and critical thinking and questioning in people’s minds.”
The group defines humanism as “a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism, affirms our responsibility to lead ethical lives of value to self and humanity.”
Maybe if agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists found God and Jesus Christ in their lives, maybe, just maybe they would not feel so empty, so useless and so alone. Christmas is about the birth of Christ, why wouldn’t people who claim they have no belief in it feel alone? For people who claim to use reason and rational thought, that hardly seems the case. Folks, find God … he loves ya and maybe you would not feel so alone. Just a thought.
Ads proclaiming, “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness’ sake,” will appear on Washington, D.C., buses starting next week and running through December. The American Humanist Association unveiled the provocative $40,000 holiday ad campaign Tuesday.
In lifting lyrics from “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” the Washington-based group is wading into what has become a perennial debate over commercialism, religion in the public square and the meaning of Christmas.
“We are trying to reach our audience, and sometimes in order to reach an audience, everybody has to hear you,” said Fred Edwords, spokesman for the humanist group. “Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion.”
Humanist Holiday Ads Say Just Be Good
Assault on Christianity not just About Christmas, NJ Boy Sent Home Dressed in Halloween Jesus Christ Costume
Dressing like Satan for Halloween good … dressing like Jesus Christ, bad.
Halloween schools has always meant that children could dress up in their Halloween costume for the day. Children would traditionally come to school dressed as ghosts, goblins, witches and ghouls. Needless to say the costumes have today have come a long way from the ones from It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
Bad
Now a days the children come to school wearing their favorite character in a TV show or movie. The costumes have become elaborate and detailed to say the least. It appears from the trick or treaters that came to the house last night that pirates, fairy princesses, Star Wars storm troopers and Clones were among the most popular. Let us not forget witches as even the moms walking their children throughout the neighborhoods were dressed in witch attire. So with all the costumes that are allowed in school why is it that a school would disallow one of Jesus Christ and send the child home?
Alex Woinski, an eighth-grader at West Brook Middle School in Paramus, was sent home from school on Friday because of his costume.
Alex, who has shoulder-length brown hair, wore a white robe, a red sash, sandals, a fake beard and a crown of thorns.
His mother says Alex was told he could keep the costume on if he removed the beard and crown of thorns, but he declined.
Superintendent James Montesano says the district doesn’t want students wearing costumes that could be distracting.
Alex’s mother is Catholic, and his father is Jewish.
He recently celebrated his Bar Mitzvah and is studying Bible scripture, according to his mom.
Good
The school stated that the costume was distracting. As opposed to what, the other Halloween costumes in todays society like THIS, THIS or THIS? It has become acceptable to allow sexy kid Halloween outfits; however, for some reason a costume of Jesus Christ spooks a school board. The school claims that it was not the religious nature of the Jesus costume that was the problem. That will be for all of you to decide and discuss. Personally, it is just one one example of an attack on Christianity where a school now thinks that Jesus Christ is more spooky and frightening than a costume of the Devil.

It is Not Even Halloween and they are Already Starting the PC Assault of Christmas
Once again the PC crowd and secularists taking Christ out of Christmas … Organizers have renamed it the Patchogue Holiday Boat Parade from the Patchogue Christmas Boat Parade. It is not even Halloween and the assault on Christmas has begun. According to the organizers there were complaints that the parade of less inclusive. Complaints? How many 3? One might want to look as to what the reason for the parade was. Was it, um … Christmas? The assault on Christmas begins once again in the name of inclusion. We all might want to remember “the reason for the season”. Its not about a parade … it is about the birth of Christ.
Organizers in the town on Long Island, near New York City, said the parade has had several names over its roughly 15-year existence. The name was changed again this year after complaints that the use of “Christmas” seemed to make the parade less inclusive.
“When I think about fireworks, I don’t think about Christmas anyway,” Mayor Paul Pontieri said.
The venerable Grucci company is famous for providing spectacular fireworks displays at major national celebrations. It is based in Brookhaven, not far from Patchogue.
