More Obamalatry

I have on several occasions written of Sen. Obama's claims of near divinity and/or the Obamalatry of his followers.(You can see all my "Obama" posts here. They are not all critical.)

Two hilarious things today.

This from the San Francisco Chronicle:

"Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

"The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare. And this why he is so often compared to Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to those leaders in our culture whose stirring vibrations still resonate throughout our short history."

(With my hand in the air, I am not making this up.)

And then there was this "I am Jesus" moment at the end of his speech on Tuesday, when he clinched the Nomination of his party:

"...this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal..." (Even NPR made fun of him for this.)

But that is just silliness. The scary part of the speech is this:

"This was the moment—this was the time—when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals."

If he is elected, at most he will get 54% of the electorate to vote for him. There will be many people, myself included, who do not want our country remade to reflect the highest ideals of socialists, God haters, and murderers of children. Some of us just want to be left alone so we can enjoy our families, serve God, and have a cup of tea with toast and sardines on a cold Autumn day.
