What Sort of Savior? What Manner of Master?


"Too many people believed Obama and his 'Hope and Change' message would 'save' them without considering what they were agreeing to be 'mastered' by. Now that the Savior is in office and is handing out orders, we’re seeing exactly the sort of Master a bit over 50% of the people in this country provided for themselves and the rest of us.

"Mortgaging our financial future, devaluing our currency, surrendering our sovereignty, bankrupting our economy, dissolving our relationships, undermining our morality, denying our rights, dividing us to conquer us - all this and more is being required of you and me. There can be no dissent or objection, not even from the people who handed power to him in the first place. And the concept of Savior permits no objection when the Master speaks.

"Except in one case. If it turns out that the Master is a harsh one with a hard burden and a heavy yoke, then it is clear he does not fulfill the proper role of Master. If he is an illegitimate Master, then he cannot be a legitimate Savior either. And if he is not the Savior … then why should we trust him at all?

"Those are the questions I find myself asking. When I consider Barack Obama, what sort of Savior is he? What manner of Master is he? I know how I have answered those questions. What say you?"
