A Pretty Impressive List Of Accomplisments !

[Ed Normile]

Or as I see it a very depressing list of accomplishments.

David Barton of Wallbuilders.com [url="http://wallbuilders.com/"]http://wallbuilders.com/[/url] has come
out with a list explaining why Barack Obama is the most biblically
hostile President of all time. While most of these stories have been
seen before, seeing them all laid-out in one list, is pretty
astonishing !

protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical
activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the
plan in February 2011.

“"E pluribus Unum"” rather than "“In God We Trust,"” as established by federal law.

h. January 2011: – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI

re-erected as ordered by the Court.

i. February 2011: – Although he filled posts in the State Department,
for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious
freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious
persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure
from the public and from Congress.

j. April 2011: – For the first time in American history, Obama urges
passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring
protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to
hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of

to God and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National
Cemetery .
b. August 2011: – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to

federal Defense of Marriage Act.

q. October 2011: – The Obama administration eliminates federal grants

condescendingly of Christianity.

e. August 2010: – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on
multiple occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground
Zero, while at the same time he was silent about a Christian church
being denied permission, to rebuild at that location.

f. 2010: – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of
official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this
White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events, but
regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010
statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.

g. October 2011: – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern
Christians’ access to the White House.

h. February 2012: – The Obama administration makes effulgent
apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, but when
Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.

Many of these actions are literally unprecedented––this is the
first time they have happened in four centuries of American history.
The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is
without equal from any previous American president.

Holmes- you gotta post this stuff in the Debate Table. Ya know that is what it going to turn into.

[Nihil Obstat]

Pretty sure we have already seen this list.

[Lil Red]

politically themed threads in the debate table, please.

[Ed Normile]

I see it has been moved to the debate table, what I do not understand is, as there is no debate of the facts here, why move it. I thought open mic was for the posting of interesting stuff.

By the way, the thread where Dust is being called out for pointing out lies as lies, seems the respondents and the OP are being pretty political, why has it not been moved here?
