That title is my paraphrase of what Ed Martin, Republican candidate in Missouri says President Obama and Democratic Representative Russ Carnahan are trying to accomplish. Here’s the exact statement (link also has audio of his remarks) he gave on air to Gina Loudon, a radio talk show host, yesterday about the policies Obama and Carnahan are promoting that will destroy your chance to be saved by Jesus:
MARTIN: One thing I like to say is: America is great, not because of our genetics. We’re great because we created a place and space where people can be free. And they can choose Christ, they can choose to be faithful. They can worship, and they find their way to the Lord. And — or some of them don’t. We sure want them all to, but some of them don’t.
And part of that freedom — when you take a government and you impose, and take away all your choices. One of the choices you take away is to find the Lord. And find your savior.
And that’s one of the things that’s most destructive about the growth of government. It’s this taking away that freedom. The freedom — the ultimate freedom, to find your salvation, to get your salvation. And to find Christ, for me and you.
And I think that’s one of the things that we have to be very, very aware of that the Obama Administration and Congressman Carnahan are doing to us.
Mr. Martin was somewhat short on specifics about which policies of President Obama were taking away your chance to find salvation in the loving arms of Jesus Christ. No let me re-phrase that: He gave no specifics.

Which is hardly surprising. That is standard operating procedure for Republicans: make any outrageous statement you can and just hope enough gullible people will believe it. Like Glenn Beck predicting Democratic “revolutionaries” will take to the streets in protests like those which occurred in the 60’s after the GOP wins back control of the House and Senate.
Or Tea Party activists carrying signs claiming Obama is for “White Slavery”.
And how about the the remarks of Brendan Steinhauser, a “director of campaigns for FreedomWorks” Dick Armey’s Tea Party astroturf organization, in which he said the following about the NAACP’s proposed condemnation of the Tea Party Movement’s racist elements:
“I just don’t see racism in the tea party movement. Racism is something we’re absolutely opposed to.”
Meanwhile, over at Free Republic posters that same day were calling the NAACP “The klan with a tan. Yes, the NAACP is just like the Klan. They have a history of killing and lynching white people and burning crosses on their homes and blowing up their churches and killing little white girls.
Oh wait. That’s not true at all is it. It’s a flat out bunch of bull puckey. Just like Mr, Martin’s lie that Obama and his opponent, Rep Russ Carnahan don’t want you to get religion. And by religion Martin means specifically the Christian religion in which belief in Jesus provides you a one way ticket to Heaven, and keeps you from burning in a fiery lake in Hell for all eternity.
Martin can’t tell you why or how Obama and Carnahan are working for Satan and against Jesus, but that doesn’t really matter, does it? All that matters is that Martin scares someone into believing Obama hates Jesus and works for the Devil.
Just like Beck’s lie that Obama hates white people, or the Republican and conservative lies spread by Limbaugh, Beck and assorted lesser conservative lights that Obama was a marxist, a fascist, a Muslim, an African colonial despot, or that he was part of a vast conspiracy to elect a black man to punish whites for slavery. Here’s all the proof they need to make such bogus and ugly accusations: the tanning bed tax. Here’s the title of that blog entry:
Dem’s Racist Tanning Tax Goes Into Effect – White Folks Feel Burned
Because a tax on tanning beds is taking away white people’s freedom to get skin cancer!
Trust me, this is just the beginning. I can’t wait to see the Sarah Palin rallies in the Fall for GOP candidates, can you?
