'Puff, the Magic Obama!'
by Chuck Norris
Last Thursday evening at the Democratic National Convention, presidential nominee Barack Obama tried to score a political touchdown on the 50-yard line at Denver's Invesco Field. Instead, he won the all-time governmental convention award for the best over-the-top political spectacle of sight, sound, speech and pyrotechnics — complete with superstar performances, "Braveheart"-like epic music, and an Olympic-sized fireworks show.
For a week prior to the event, newscasters ...

Hello again, Chuck. Your book Black Belt Patriotism arrived today. Looks great and I look forward to reading it. The introduction on the inside cover pretty well corresponds to the situation here in the UK.

I seem to be overdoing the comments here but I've read your testimony, Chuck, in Black Belt Patriotism of how you returned to the Lord Jesus Christ. Your account put me in mind of the well-known passage in Luke 15:3-7 and the words of the Shepherd in verse 6, "Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost." The Cyber Hymnal site is great for the lyrics and tunes of just about every hymn ever written. I like this stanza from the hymn There Were Ninety and Nine, based on the Luke passage above.
“Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way
That mark out the mountain's track?”
“They were shed for one who had gone astray
Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.”
“Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?”
“They are pierced tonight by many a thorn;
They are pierced tonight by many a thorn.”
I think there is a lot of Walker, Texas Ranger in that hymn.

Thank you for your concise, clear and intelligent essay - America needs to hear this 24/7 until the election. Obama has clearly been complicit in allowing the media to anoint him as the One who is entitled to be emperor. The many pics of him with a halo are meant to be iconic and expose a dangerous and deep-rooted narcissism that pervades our culture. The left aspires to worship a man while trying to eradicate all traces of the God we worship. America needs a president, not a demigod.

Re: "the biblical verse to which Obama referred is Hebrews 4:14, which uses the word "faith" not "hope," and the object of that faith in which we are to profess is not America but the "great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God."
Way to go, Chuck. As the parallel passage Hebrews 10:23 states, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)" KJB.
The great High Priest, the Lord Jesus Christ is the only salvation for the US and the UK. Though it will take a humbling process, from the top down, as in the time of King Rehoboam, 2 Chronicles 12:12, "And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well,"
Which means, for the current mentality of our respective peoples, that the salvation operation will be more of a salvage operation, when it gets done. A bit like picking up the pieces after the recent hurricance over there, only more so.
The bookseller informs me that your book is on its way. I look forward to receiving it.

You all need a serious dose of reality.
