The Lyrics
President Obama recently sent a stern message to some of America's religious leaders about his health care plan. In it, he warns them about bearing false witness and admonishes them that they are their brother's keepers. Strong-arming ministers...that seems a little rough even for Chicago politics. ;D
You religious leaders who speak for the Lord
I'm pushing my Health Care. You must get on board!
For I am "the chosen," the master of all.
I'll bring down damnation! You must heed my call!
You won't bear false witness at those town hall talks!
I'll send S.E.I.U. to beat up your flocks!
You're your brother's keeper and that's plain to see.
Those who oppose my plan: Report them to me!
I have the true vision and holy insight,
For I learned the gospel from Reverend Wright!
'Though my left wing buddies hate what you stand for,
You'll endorse my health plan or I'll declare war!
You'll preach social justice or the faith-based czar
That I will appoint will - be my friend Bill Maher!
I'm pushing my Health Care. You must get on board!
For I am "the chosen," the master of all.
I'll bring down damnation! You must heed my call!
You won't bear false witness at those town hall talks!
I'll send S.E.I.U. to beat up your flocks!
You're your brother's keeper and that's plain to see.
Those who oppose my plan: Report them to me!
I have the true vision and holy insight,
For I learned the gospel from Reverend Wright!
'Though my left wing buddies hate what you stand for,
You'll endorse my health plan or I'll declare war!
You'll preach social justice or the faith-based czar
That I will appoint will - be my friend Bill Maher!
And ACORN will make sure that all the saints have voted Democratic - twice! ;D

Great job. If things keep going the way they are, then our constitutional right to freedom of religion will go away, just like the right to freedom of speech has been eroded by the passage of Draconian "hate-crime" laws and the constitutional right to bear arms has been compromised by restrictions of all kinds on everything from what kind of firearm one can own to how many guns one can possess, to who can and cannot own a firearm. 5s to you.
HOLY CRAPCARE, OBAMAN!!!! LOL
Name of the game in politics - threaten the minority. Well written.
Drats! My evil plan has been discovered! 555 curses on thee, and on all thy honest brethren!
Most preachers I know wouldn't touch socialized health care one way or the other from the pulpit. It's a social concern as opposed to a religious one. Just because he went to a church that was politically motivated does not mean the majority of them are. I would have loved for my pastor to get a letter like this because he probably would have gotten a sermon ready about using selective scripture reference to twist it to the users beliefs instead of keeping the meaning of the entirety scripture in tact. Of course, many of us already believe war has been declared :) Good job. Please turn to Hymn #555 for today's doxology.
I like Bill Maher, too...very well done
555 for this take on Obama's Messianic Messy Antics...
LOL @ Medemia's Docks-ology, (docs-ology?)-- to be sung On the Waterfront... ;)
