    Yea uhm, ok.

    But don't you see the strangeness of a liberal, who despise any religion that isn't Muslim, borrowing from the Bible to justify a criminal act?

    A pitiful, horribly brainwashed cult member Obama is no Muslim - and no Christian.
    His god is Rev. Wright.

    Using the bible to justify criminality is not a new tactic...merely a scurrilous one. But what has Obama got to lose?
    He's an absolutely habitual liar and what does the bible say about bearing false witness?

    Wow...not that's an issue!

    Right wing Americans upset a president quoted the Bible! And to help people?

    Obviously Obama is a heretic as only Republicans can call on God.

    When one invokes scripture, it would be reasonable as a means to encourage support in Congress for a national course. Thus it might spice the debate such that our Congress might then, thru compromise, reach an amicable end product. But Obama simply quoted the scripture and then shoved it down our throats, mocking our first amendment right, as well as betraying the stark hypocrisy of the self righteous Democrat party who while pretending to be the first amendments valiant defender, is actually its blood stained murderer. BTW, the devil can quote scripture too.

    Tucker Carlson is a small minded lying sack of (*)(*)(*)(*) who should be in prison for paying hookers to lie about a Senator in the middle of an election. These hateful, bigoted (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s are a pox on the country. The sheep who follow them should realize just how stupid the Fox Folks think you are.

    Yes.

    Maybe

    No the Bible is a document that resonates with many Americans and he quoted one of the most repeated verses in the Hebrew Bible.

    ,

    How?

    There is no such thing as the Democrat Party, only idiots and sheep of the right wing noise machine use that phrase.

    ,

    How does the 1st amendment apply

    &#8220;Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger &#8212; we were strangers once, too,&#8221; the president said Thursday night. &#8220;My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too.&#8221;

    Oh for God's sake.. what a pack of petty partisans.

    You don't seem to mind the cynical use of scripture to further a political agenda. Good for you.

    Oh they all do and the Israelis certainly do it ... I don't like Obama's immigration policy, but attacking him for quoting scripture is asinine.

    Are you liberals on this thread saying that you are very comfortable with Obama reciting the Bible, but are totally offended when a conservative politician recites the Bible. :roflol: Why am I not surprised

    Well if you agree his scripture is used cynically what's wrong with pointing that out?

    So we can all agree then that there is nothing wrong with quoting scripture at graduation or even praying?

    I'm sure you can verses in the Bible to use any time you want to justify what you do. legal or not.. But why do the Left only use the ones they want and ignore the ones they don't like?

    Leviticus 18:22
    "Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin." (NLT)

    Leviticus 20:13
    "If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense." (NLT)

    didn't Jesus say when you help the least among us, you help Jesus himself

    and when you turn away the least among us, you turn away Jesus

    the right seems to worship the rich... and care little about the poor.. wonder what Jesus would say

    the Christian Obama seems to act more in line with what Jesus would do then those on the right

    Obama cares about the people, the right hold the people hostage to get what they want....

    The CHINOs, 'Christians in Name Only" are in a tizzy over Pope Francis and others who espouse Christian charity and suggest that it should be practiced in all aspects of human endeavour.

    Nowhere in the bible is there a taboo against either private or collective initiatives. Neither alone is sufficient, and democratic governance is a proper expression of that societal ethos.

    Naturally, the haters hate it when Christians actually practice Christianity and don't quarantine their moral imperative.

    "It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."
    Hubert H. Humphrey​

    Is the United States, as a nation with a strong Chrisitian heritage up to the challenge?

    The CHINOS who want to keep Christianity in an ideological lock box rage against it's societal expression.

    Coming from THE LEAST religious president we've had in a long time....it does seem hypocritical that now....on this issue.....he pulls out the religion card. Some Advisor must have told him that he'd score even more points with Hispanics, since many are religious.

    NOTHING this guy does is anything BUT political.

    There sure seems to be a lot of sore throats on the right these days with all that throat shoving. Take a Sucrets!

    And, BTW, it's Democratic Party.
