A Good Friday?

On one of the most sacred days on the Christian calendar, I noticed President Barack Hussein Obama's curious misspeak as he offered a prayer. The traditional and typical reading uses "iniquities" with an "I" as in sin, but our leader supplanted deliberately or in a Freudian slip this term for transgression with "inequities" with an "E" which seems intentional and no slip of the tongue as he has so consistently focused on "fairness" and redistribution of wealth. I am not certain whether our President is a Christian with little grasp of the meaning of his own faith because of his long association with the Black Liberation Theology church of Jeremiah Wright, or whether he is actually agnostic or an atheist selling himself to America as a Christian to remain electable, or if he is merely an "apostate" Muslim who never found a basis for faith after the Muslim instruction he received in Indonesia in his youth. In any event, I do not think using "inequities" was anything but intentional and part of a wider campaign among Democrats to separate America from her Christian foundations. In recent weeks, President Obama and other high ranking Democrats including Harry Reid, the Democrat leader in the US Senate, have deliberately excluded "under God" from America's Pledge of Allegiance and Obama himself recently omitted the phrase "by their Creator" from the Declaration of Independence during his California fundraising speech in San Francisco. So it seems we have one of the major parties in our country comporting themselves like the old Communist Party in the former Soviet Union and at least to an extent at the highest levels, trying to banish the Lord from the public square. Not great news on this Good Friday, but let us look at the rest of the world. Are peace and good will prevailing? Not hardly as Cambodia and Thailand fired on each other today, Libya is riven by civil war with the West including the USA now intervening more forcefully (with armed drones in America's case and advisers arriving to aid the rebels from France and Italy, so far, with greater escalation by NATO on behalf of the anti-Gaddafi forces likely), with Americans still fighting in Afghanistan, our troops still on the ground to Iraq and exposed to danger, with revolutions still ongoing across the Middle East, and with a terror attack yesterday in Kirachi, Pakistan fourteen more died. So on Good Friday, this day of peace, violence and chaos prevail and we are led by cunning deceivers who do not have our best interests at heart.
