Is Obamaism a cult?

[Guest Bluto]

Not just the administration but the Republican controlled Congress too. Conservatives aren't conservative at least fiscally anymore, but they sure act like it come election time and have about this stimulus bill. So if being excited and hopeful about someone who says they will try to change things is cult like, then what is continuing to support people who say they stand for something and then do the opposite??:confused:

 

If you're going to join the discussion, at least get the terms right. Your 2nd sentence should read: "REBUBLICANS aren't conservative..."

 

Conservatives ARE conservative.

Difference between this president worship and past is the role of the media. Something like 14 Time and 11-12 Newsweek covers in 2008? Come on now. Of course, Obama's going to pay our mortgages and fill our gas tanks so I guess that makes it ok.

Oh, yeah. I remember that happening to President Bush

There is no bar. If anything goes wrong during his administration, it will be blamed on the Bush Administration or on obstructionist conservatives. Since the media is, with few exceptions, worshipping at his alter, nothing negative concerning him will be reported (Need an example? Look at the past campaign and consider just exactly what we really know about him?).

 

Finally, those who oppose him will, as was the case during the campaign, be branded as racists.

 

There is no bar for the socialist messiah.

 

Stinks for you guys doesn't it?

Title I performance audit coming up at work. Only have time for a few fly by's now and again.

Yes, it does. It isn't pleasant giving up hard earned money to support projects that you find morally indefensible. But, before it is over, it will stink for everyone- even those millions who elected him looking for the free gravy train regardless of the cost and damage to our country.

Ok, I guess I will stand corrected. How many Conservatives are currently in office?:ohbrother:

Not enough... not enough for a long time.

You mean like war, which I find morally indefensible and tobacco subsidies which I find morally indefensible, you mean like interrogation techniques that I found morally indefensible . . .

 

You see, the joy of living in a democracy is that we all get to be righteously indignant and some point. I was for 8 years, now you can be. See how that works, equality.

 

I don't think that our economy or image could be damaged any more than it was over the past 8 years, it might be damaged differently, but it won't be any worse.

I don't know what Obamaism is. Never heard of it before this thread. Anyone want to give me the link to the history and mission of this organization? Thanks in advance.

A number of people were so caught up with Bush they would tell me ridiculous things like "Thank God for sending us George W. Bush," as well as other, more hyperbole-filled statements. It only lasted a couple years, but it was indeed there. Not that the hyperbole around Obama isn't sickening and over-the-top, because it is.

 

Some girls at work were talking about how Mrs. Obama is supposed to be on the cover of a magazine, Vogue I think and how she's only the second first lady ever to be on there. Then they started talking about news paper clippings they've cut out, and about magazines that they've now bought as collectors items. One of them has a young daughter 3 or 4. She was bragging about how her "boo" new who President Obama was and how everyone should know who he is because he's the most important man in America ever. I just kept quiet and laughed to myself. It definitely reinforced my beliefs though that people really do worship President Obama.

 

Oh, yeah. I remember that happening to President Bush

Jim was trying to equate the support for GW with the worship of Obama. SF41 related a conversation that he overheard of girls at work fawning over Obama.

 

I was being sarcastic. No one had the kind of slavish-devotion towards GWB that they apparently do towards BHO.
