When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.The writer, David Barton, a frequent guest on the now gone Glenn Beck show, goes on to list the numerous acts of hostility (43 of them) by Obama and his administration against Christians and the Bible, followed by (surprise!) acts of preferentialism (9 of them) for Islam.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSEOFFICE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND APOLOGY (OOPCAA)DIRECTIVE27 February 2012FROM: The Office of Political Correctness and Apology (OOPCAA)TO: All Armed Services Personnel Active and Retired (Especially Marines, SEALS, Special Forces and Airborne)Subject: Proper apology to Islamic Fascists and Terrorists.In keeping with the President, the Secretary of Defense, and Commanding General of NATO in Afghanistan recent apologies to Muslim peoples for the accidental burning of Korans the following directive is issued:BACKGROUND: All personnel are aware that the President has established bowing before members of Islamic royalty. This is an appropriate behavior because the United States has shown these individuals disrespect by purchasing their oil and fighting their wars. It has become apparent that bowing is insufficient to show the proper supplication before the Islamic hoard, especially in light of the recent Koran burning incident. It makes no difference that the Korans were used to pass messages between terrorists. This was only because their computers and cell phones were not functioning. Nor does it make any difference that according to Sharia Law, Korans are not to be written in, and if so are to be destroyed by fire. Furthermore it is irrelevant that last year the CO of Bagram Air Base destroyed Christian Bibles because he deemed them offensive to Muslims (after all they are?) Because of the above the following listed action(S) will be taken:Commencing on Friday March 3 (Muslim Sabbath) at 0700 hrs all military personnel worldwide will commence a Groveling (Apology) Exercise. Units will assemble all personnel appropriately attired in Dress Uniform (Medals and Decorations) in ranks. All ranks will face Mecca and on the preparatory command, Prepare to Grovel all ranks will advance the left foot 18 inches. On the command, Grovel, all ranks will immediately assume the position of both knees on the ground (Deck for Marines and sailors) with the forehead touching the ground. At the count of four all personnel will grovel while reciting, I am sorry. I am sorry. Please don't be mad at me. This phase will be repeated ten (10) times. Upon the completion of ten repetitions of in place Groveling, the Command, Cease Groveling will be given, the ranks will be brought back to the position of Attention, and Parade Rest for further instruction on proper treatment of the Islamo Fascists.Officers and NCOs will ensure that Groveling is performed in a military manner similar to the Low Crawl with the buttocks in a level position facing away from Mecca (NOTE: Representatives of the Department Homeland Security will be on hand to report infractions of the Butt Rule). Special attention will be given to those with Bronze Stars and above, since it is rightly assumed that these individuals have aggrieved more Islamo Fascists.Special Instructions for Retired and Disabled Personnel: Retired personnel and disabled personnel are permitted to grovel while seated in wheelchairs if no attendants are available. Personnel with Walkers are permitted to Grovel while standing with the Walker. Because of the above consideration, the above listed disabled personnel are expected to flagellate themselves with their canes while groveling.All personnel are encouraged to reflect on their personal conduct with the Islamo Fascists over the last nine years. After all they are only trying to convert you to a better way of living your life as a Stone Age Neanderthal, and you have been trying to kill them.If the above designated corrective action does not show positive results immediately, more drastic action such will be taken, again led by the President, Secretary of Defense, and NATO Commander.
A few weeks ago the Obama administration put out a video extolling Obama's record on Israel. They took excerpts from speeches by Israeli leaders praising Obama and used them as proof that Israelis view Obama is a great friend of the Jewish state.On the whole it was an obscene production. What can Binyamin Netanyahu or any other Israeli official say other than that Obama is a great friend of Israel? We have to face the dismal fact that Obama may remain in the White House until 2017. No Israeli official can afford to say openly what they think of this man.
So, Bill Kristol, Gary Bauer and Rachel Abrams formed the Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI), which is a Super Pac authorized to run political advertisements. Because Obama has been calling himself "Israel's greatest friend ever," ECI decided to set the record straight and tell the truth about Obama's treatment of Israel. This video is how they chose to do it.
