Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Georgia) walked out on Obama’s outrageous campaign speech yesterday at the National Prayer Breakfast. Obama decided to give a stump speech on socialism for the attendees at the breakfast.
Rome News reported:
Republican Rep. Phil Gingrey (Ga.) walked out of President Obama’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, his spokeswoman confirmed to The Hill.
Jen Talaber said the five-term lawmaker “left quietly” in the middle of the president’s remarks.
“He was disturbed and offended by the president’s use of prayer and reflection time for partisan politics and class warfare,” Talaber said. “Rep. Gingrey enjoyed listening to the keynote speaker and found the breakfast to be inspiring until President Obama began politicking.”
At the breakfast, Obama tried to tie some of the proposals from his State of the Union address, such as everyone paying their fair share in taxes, to Biblical teachings.

Somehow I never read anywhere in the Bible that Jesus advocated his love of man with higher taxes or that demonstrating love your brother was demanding more government power or regulations. I must be a bad Christian. I’ll just have to read the Bible to find these passages.

How can any thinking person tolerate Obama talking in any context.

Recognize this for what it is — Obama wants to increase taxes for the very rich (taxes which he knows will cascade down to the middle class) and use these taxes to pay for BIGGER GOVERNMENT. The Bible does want us to help our fellow citizens — it does not say that we cannot help them through our churches, our non-profit organizations, etc. BUT the Marxist position is that BIG GOVERNMENT CAN DO EVERYTHING BETTER THAT WE CAN AND IT MUST CONTROL EVERYTHING and redistribute our WEALTH to those people who big government feels is entitled to it! Socialism is the truly the road to equal poverty for all Americans. I was born free and I don’t want to die under Socialism!

Why was Gingrey the only one to walk out.?
mackykam commented:
Wealth redistribution is against the Tenth Commandment:
“…Thou Shalt NOT Covet thy neighbors….”
Obviously they don’t teach that in Islam, where bedouins coveted everything others had and so continually raided the more fortunate. And communists and socialists don’t believe in God, either, so why pay attention to His commandments?
We Jews take this commandment seriously. That is why when our neighbor buys a new car we go out and buy two!
Covet you? Screw you! Let your jealousy bug your eyes out!
And that is why jews are, for the most part, blessed and successful. We follow the commandments!

Waiting for the Usual Suspects to declare that Gingrey is a racist.

My how far we’ve progressed as a nation:
Where once we had Flip Wilson’s “the-devil-made-me-buy-this-dress” Geraldine, now we’re treated to Obama’s “Jesus made me destroy this nation” socialist/fascist/statist/leftist imperial despotic rule.
We’ve come a long way, baby!

“…such as everyone paying their fair share in taxes, to Biblical teachings.” all of this while ignoring the 10 commandments.

Proverbs 10:4-5 -He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. (5) He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
More Liberty commented:
I wouldn’t give this moron a dime. Who cares that he walked out on O-Bomb-a’$ little “prayer.”
Look at his voting record. This “conservative” voted to authorize President Obama, the executive power, to detain US citizens on US soil indefinitely without due process. He, along with a bi-partisan group, basically gave Obama the ability to deny you your 5th Amendment rights.
But like lemmings, you drool over some superficial stunt. This is precisely why we have “conservatives” that don’t vote conservative. Because they know that the serf-sheeple won’t hold them accountable if they throw the serfs a little red-meat from time to time.
Wake up

THERE HE GOES AGAIN PLAYING CHRISTIAN FOR VOTES!

It looks like the
“busybody” Mess-aiahPOTUS skipped the part in Paul’s letter to the Church in Thessalonica in which Paul exorts the people be hard-workers, and not “worthless” lazy bums. And make them ashamed for being lazy, for that matter.‘Cause if you don’t work, you don’t eat!

anyone who has the stones to leave and say that dear leader is without clothes as in the emperor story deserves a few dollars.
i mean get with it folks. let’s help those who try and destroy us.
No Man commented:
What did he expect?
Obama’s class envy programs are contrary to the Bible. Commandment X: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s good. The Second Great Commandment: Love thy neighbor.
That justice and peace stuff: it ain’t charity if you take other people’s money and line your voters pockets with it. It’s cynical political posturing.
It don’t work. Future economists and historians (assuming, please God, the world is not plunged into a new dark age) will marvel at how a concept so dull and illogical as income/wealth redistribution could have exercised such control over idiot liberals (I repeat myself again), sanctimonious saints, et al. Remember Einstein’s definition of “insanity.”
Why would anyone go to the WH for any reason?
KR commented:
Obama thought he was talkin’ religion.
Socialism and politics IS barry’s religion.
Remember his words on “collective salvation”. Marxism is the gospel to him.
RedBeard commented:
So, according to More Liberty, Phil Gingrey is a moron because he voted wrong once, and the rest of us are lemmings because we like his message to Obama. Interesting.
kato commented:
That’s strange. Asskiss media thought it was a great speech.
aprilnovember811 commented:
I wouldn’t have gone in the first place. When he speaks of Jesus, he’s mocking Jesus. He’s attacking the Catholic Church through his health care tyranny. He’s just like Hitler.
See, Zero can’t murder Christians outright, like his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood are doing in the Middle East, so he has to do it through stealth means, like through unconstitutional legislation. He hates Jesus, because he’s Satan. When I hear him speak of Jesus, it reminds me of Satan pretending to be Damien’s mother in the Exorcist to manipulate him.

No matter who our nominee turns out to be I think we are going to see the gloves come off this election year. Its not like we can turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to Mr. Obama’s agenda anymore. Old saying — no one knows how dumb you are until you open your mouth. After 3-1/2 years of Obama’s special misery its time for Republicans to say — SEE WE TOLD YOU SO.
Just Da Facts commented:
The Georgia Administrative Courts just handed a victory to Obama and his Lawyer who did not even bother to show up for their Ballot Eligibility hearing. Naturally they should have lost by default and they should have been held in contempt of court. But our system is hopelessly corrupt and we are now officially stuck with Obama and his defacto dictatorship. Abandon all hope people, the fix is in. Our country has been overthrown in a bloodless coup.

Obama may control the courts and the media but the American people still control who gets elected. If Obama was a defacto dictator he wouldn’t need to convince voters that the crappy economy is booming. True dictators are a hell of a lot more confident in their control of the electorate.
This mob is doing their best to demoralize us Republicans and as long as we vote for our nominee like our lives depend on it they won’t succeed.
Teresa commented:
Compared to the Komen Foundation, Congressman Gingrey is a profile in courage. It seems like he’s the only one to walk out. What a shame.
wlbj commented:
Why does anything Obama does surprise anyone. He will do or say anything to get reelected. While in the background trying to keep the military chaplains quiet. (see the article on the Gateway Pundits).
What a scum bag!
Ray commented:
Are we judging? I think not. Only Obama knows if he is truly a Christian. Many call themselves followers of Jesus but many lie. This is one man who lies and does it so easily. Poliitiking in the name of Jesus is a mockery towards The Lord. Can Obama be a true follower of Jesus and sign a bill that funds planned parenthood with our tax dollars to pay for abortons? No! Again he mocks God.
tommy mc donnell commented:
if obama wants everyone to pay their fair share of taxes he is going to have to lower the taxes on the rich. the rich are grossly overtaxed. they pay way more than is necessary to pay for the services that the politicans provide. the equality that we were supposed to have in america was that we were all to be EQUAL IN THE EYES OF THE GOVERNMENT. a principle that the democratic party has destroyed and not a single democratic politican believes in.
Pat C commented:
Forgive Obama, Father, for he knows know what he is doing.
Steve in TUlsa commented:
Obama has a brother who lives on twelve dollars a year in Kenya. Do you really beleive he is sincere? He won’t even help his own brother. Not with his own money.
creeper commented:
“The Georgia Administrative Courts just handed a victory to Obama and his Lawyer ”
Link, please.
Patriot Act commented:
As the election nears, I expect to see Obama doing his fake Christian routine more and more.
What does the Bible say about narcissism? About lying? About dividing others?
msbetz commented:
Obama wants to raise everyonessssss taxessssss. Ever notice his problem with the letter “S” ssssssss, ssssss and dropping “g” from everything and always referring to citizens as “folks”??
Really annoying to listen to, not to mention context. sssssssssss, sssssssssss!
Driver commented:
Komen foundation has deceived the public by keeping a lid, in the past, of their relationship with Planned Parenthood. To now make the statement that they are re-joined because of their focus of saving women’s lives is an irresponsible and uneducated stance since the number of medical abortions intended to save a woman’s life are negligible in number. Not only will I discontinue my personal donations, but their foundation will no longer be listed as an eligible charity within our organization’s payroll dedudctions, effective immediately. Personally, I will do whatever I can to speak against the Komen Foundation due to their deception in the past and present decision. Shame on them!!!
