Within the past few days several striking events have taken place with regard to religion in America. The Obama administration cancelled an Air Force flyover at an event in Idaho called the God And Country Rally, because the name of the event had the word God in it. This despite the fact that the flyover had been performed for the past 42 consecutive years, regardless of political party in power. President Obama then held a televised address to extend best wishes to all Muslims in America on the occasion of Ramadan, an address in which he praised the Muslim religion of peace, describing how he himself participated in the Muslim rituals. And in a conference call to an assembly of religious leaders of all faiths, Obama exhorted them to support his health care plans as a moral obligation. It would seem the Obama administration is willing to play along with religion if it looks like there’s a political advantage in doing so. It would also seem the Obama administration is very friendly to Muslims while taking a dim view of God and Country.
Obama’s faith is on display
He shows it in the manner
In which he says that we all may
Display the Muslim banner
But God forbid that Air Force jets
Show honor by our flyers
Reminding those who have regrets
For voting for these liars
That in November 2010
You’ll get another chance, sir
To run them out of town and then
That horrid boil we’ll lance, sir
The finish of Obama’s term
Will see him isolated
With impotence he’ll surely squirm
As his lame duck is plated
Then we’ll regain our country, pal
And we can stop our wailin’
As we vote in that strong, tough gal
The beauteous Sarah Palin
