I demand that female be fired! She’s violated the sacred separation of church and state, the very basis (if one believes liberals) of our great Union!

What’s she doing teaching at the college level? She doesn’t appear to be qualified to teach kindergarten, let alone undergrad mushminds…

G.K. Chesterton said it best: when one stops believing in God, one doesn’t believe in nothing, one will believe in anything.

Some people are hardwired for faith, and if they refuse religion they will fill that gap with something else.

Oh, I know what you mean. I couldn’t believe that the left was crowing about how well he did in the second two debates. All I saw was a nasty, arrogant, petulant guy who “debated” (if you could call it that) like a spoiled teenager who has convinced himself that he’s the smartest thing around.

Does this mean we should be on the lookout for him at Sea World as he attempts to unlock the seven seals?

Kurt, I went to your link. Good post, and I read one of the comments – by “Cheesestick” – that sums up for me where I stand on Obama’s so-called popularity and charisma:

The whole cult of personality thing is so completely lost on me. He is a nasty, immature little boy that is too self-absorbed & self-important to have ever convinced me he was capable of taking care of anything that might help other people… How people actually believe Obama is some friendly, every-man type is just beyond me.

Pardon me for taking so long to respond to this post – I was blowing hard from both ends after having read this!

But on to a comment. When this “professor”

Oooops – gotta go! It’s happening again, just thinking about it…

When I hear Obama’s adoring followers using metaphors of divinity when referencing all things Obama I don’t know whether to become extremely sick, or extremely terrified, or both.

That's a good point, Sefton. Unfortunately, these cultists aren't just driving all of us down, but Ms. Thompson is also a professor, meaning that she teaches this sort of drivel, and some of her students apparently lack the good sense to resist it. Bookworm also had a good post on the cult of personality yesterday.

….the world has seen this all before. The ancient Romans had bread and circuses. At present, the US has food stamps and the Petraeus scandal/coverup.

Nope, nothin’ new under the sun.

Ms. Thompson reminds me of the “spiritually fooled” who drank the Jim Jones koolaid. It didn’t end well for them and it won’t for her and her cultists. Unfortunately, they’re dragging the rest of us down with them.

Also, if she “learned that Jesus walked the earth to create a civilized society”, she may have been listening to a spirit, but it wasn’t from God.

His followers needed to re-elect him to a second term,

This really should read “His worshipers”, then it would be accurate. All part of the great deception that comes at the end. – Lorica
