Obama’s Bad Luck With Pastors
President Obama doesn’t seem to have much luck when it comes to men of the cloth.
From the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to the Rev. Jesse “cut his nuts off” Jackson, Obama has a new pastor to watch out for, because he’s using God as his personal hitman.
Pastor Steven Anderson of Arizona’s Faithful Word Baptist Church has been praying for the president’s naturally caused death.
Just like radical Muslims who pervert the Koran for their own twisted means, Anderson is no different. He seems to honestly believe that the Bible gives him the right to pray for the death of President Obama.
During a sermon on Aug. 16, Anderson said that he hates Obama because of his stance and views on abortion and believes that the president will lead this great country of ours into socialism.
Anderson also believes that Obama will overturn the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The pastor says that he’s a “counter-revolutionist” and sees Obama as a revolutionary.
What’s interesting here is that what Anderson is saying about our president is no different from what many conservatives said about former President Bill Clinton. Many thought that Clinton would bring the New World Order and once George W. Bush took office, it was the liberals’ turn to scream the NOW mania.
So every couple of years, liberals and conservatives take their turn over who’s going to turn America into Amerika. And so far, it hasn’t happened yet.
But to pray to God for the death of our president? While Anderson claims to hate Obama and wishes that he gets brain cancer and suffer the same fate as the late Ted Kennedy, it seems doubtful that the Good Lord will grant his request.
If He answered those types of prayers, then there would be many Republicans and Democrats dropping dead in Congress as you read this.
While Anderson and his follower’s only abide by the “King James Bible,” it appears that he missed an important passage:
“ … Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you …”
