So, I was trying to think of a name to call you Obama kool-aid drinkers and I couldn’t think of anything I liked and then I visited Campaign Spot and found out that Frank J. was trying to do the same thing. Talk about great minds and all that.
So, I like Obamunists and Obamanoids. What do you guys think?
Or how about this one: Obamanarians. I kind of like that one. I’m going to have a hard time deciding (I think it will probably come down to which one I’ll remember when I’m writing a post).
BTW, for you people who think that we on the right came up with the whole messiah thing, we didn’t and we’re not the only ones weirded out be it. Here’s a lefty Obama supporter:
I’m getting increasingly weirded out by some of Obama’s supporters.
On listservs I’m on, some people who should know better – hard-bitten, not-so-young cynics, even – are gushing about Barack, raving about his “game-changing” politics, about his “power to inspire,” about how they wept while viewing the now-famous Dipdive video, and on and on… This sounds more like a cult than a political campaign. The language used here is the language of evangelical Christianity – the Obama volunteers speak of “coming to Obama” in the same way born-again Christians talk about “coming to Jesus.”

Obama and his followers are humanistic and humanist’s through and through. ALL you have to do is read the Humanist Manifesto and the beliefs and teachings of Humanism and compare the words, deeds and teachings of Obama. Humanism borrowed just about every thing beautiful in Christianity and/but rejects God and godliness as myth and judgmentalism. The views of Humanism on everything from abortion to same-gender sexuality is completely in-line with Obama/Democrat/Left apologetics. We need to STOP calling “Leftists” liberals or progressives, and apply to them the correct definition of Humanist. That is why Marxism, communism, socialiam, Darwinism, science as absolute rule and domain and sexual deviance and perversion is so easily grasped by Obama-ites and “The Left” in general and in totality. READ the Humanist Manifesto and see what “The Left” truly is.

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed when Obama turns out to be a politician rather than superman.

I think a lot more will be disappointed when they realize most of us already know that.

I think Obamanites would be a good, sort of biblical name and would go well with the term Obamanation. Which, of course is what they are noted for.

I’m sure it’s just me, but I think when we sink to the level of picking on names to ridicule someone with whom we disagree or we don’t like, we’ve run out of valid, rational, relevant arguments. I’d prefer to say that Obama’s ideas are dangerous, radical, socialistic, and, likely, not completely known or understood yet … without coming up with a cutesy, unkind name for him or his followers.

Gods forbid we should have the misfortune of being presented with a presidential candidate who inspires us to look beyond ourselves to the nation.
You people sound like you’d rather 8 more years of Bush-style governance.

“I was trying to think of a name to call you Obama kool-aid drinkers”
And I was trying to think of why someone who claims Christ would want to slur others. My grandmother taught me that Christians were supposed to think the best, believe the best and say the best of others.
Something about doing ot others as we would have done unto ourselves and all that.

oh my gosh, he’s not even been elected president and michele et al are already displaying their ODS (obama derangement syndrome). you’ve all gone mental trying to find something that sticks. which reminds me: sticks and stones and all that.
if he can elicit this childish behavior from the right fringe (and don’t try to deny that you are just that, because you’ve shown every indicator), then we should know that we have our candidate. it’s encouraging to know that even the right has to plug their nose to pull the lever for mccain while the left and center who support either obama or clinton are enthusiastic about their choices. now you righties understand our inability to understand your never faltering support of your bush-god.

recovering ex-Pentecosta, evidently your grandmother wasn’t Reformed. Here’s some food for thought:
but I thought since I used Ronulians, Huckaberries and even Fredheads (of which I was one), I thought I would use a name for the Obama supporters. Sorry but just cause I’m a Christian doesn’t mean I can’t poke fun at Obama and his supporters. You guys have to lighten up, I mean, didn’t you guys get a clue from the title of the blog? Sheesh!
Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 23:33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?
Matthew 23:25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Matthew 7:5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
2 Peter 2:22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
I usually don’t engage in name calling on this blog (lefties is a term of endearment as far as I’m concerned — it’s like I called you honey
Stan, I will make sure that when I use Obaminites, I will do so after making a valid point of argument.

Charles Cosimano, that is brilliant! It is Christopher Taylor and Looney Fundamentalist brilliant! And it is perfect since you want to capture the cult-like nature of their support.

I was taught that my yes should be yes and my no should be no. Therefore I must simply call him and his followers what they are: socialists.

Whatever happened to Obamaniacs?

It’s OK but I think that Charles’ name brings in the element of religion that we want.

I would note, Michele, that almost every quote you used, had Jesus being harsh with, shall we say, the ones in error in what should’ve been his own group?
If he’d been engaged in politics instead of religion, this would have him insulting hardcore Republicans, not the other parties.
So, where’s your version for your party?
posted April 12, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Besides which.. why religion?
Though we were all godless heathen members of the Secular Humanist Conspiracy?
So, a little enthusiasm brings out the ‘messiah’ comparisons. I’ll remember that the next time someone starts to wax poetic about, say, Reagan. Mentioning how his inspiration brought them to the ‘one true way’… politically, of course.

Karen Brown, did you read my blog during the primaries?
McCain isn’t acting like a political messiah, is he? And his followers aren’t treating him like he is one are they?
What I wanted to demonstrate wasn’t equivalence of situation but the fact that it’s ok for Christians to use descriptive language
As to Reagan, too late it would only look derivative and would rebound on your guy.
posted April 13, 2008 at 1:26 am
At no point during the primaries did you even come close to those sort of characterizations. Not of McCain, and even more importantly, not of his SUPPORTERS.
After all, it isn’t Obama you are insulting here, is it?
Its people who support Obama.
So, where is your cutting Jesus-like critique of McCain boosters?
posted April 13, 2008 at 1:28 am
And who says Obama is ‘my guy’?
Myself, the guy I liked was out pretty early on.
Actually, to claim it was ‘derivative’, which means that it imitates, means that you are making a comparison of Reagan and Obama?
Given your opinion of Obama, that reflects terribly on Reagan. Your own.. well, guess you have to settle for John the Baptist, hmm?
posted April 13, 2008 at 8:24 am
What McCain supporters?
I was quite critical of the Ronulians and even said that I had no respect for them. I haven’t said anything that blunt about the Obamanites. And I was also very snotty toward the Huckaberries.
“Actually, to claim it was ‘derivative’, which means that it imitates, means that you are making a comparison of Reagan and Obama?”
No, it’s your actions that are derivative not Obama compared to Reagan. You are just coping us, that makes it derivative.
And I would never vote for someone who is as inexperienced as Obama. So, what other choice do I have but to vote for McCain. McCain is the candidate I will vote for but I’m not a supporter. He is just the lesser of two evils choice.
posted April 13, 2008 at 10:58 am
Are you saying McCain has no supporters?
You wouldn’t vote for someone who is as inexperienced as Obama…
Did you vote for Bush?
Let’s see, a few years as governor in the state with the least powerful executive branch in the country. No foreign policy experience or Federal Government experience whatsoever.
Of course, I would use that as a negative example, but given your previous posts, I’m guessing that’s going to be a little more difficult for you.
Last, all of that has no bearing on the scripture quotes.
If McCain has no supporters, then, using Jesus as an example, you’d just not have anyone to use insulting rhetoric with. Jesus didn’t to those outside his own group.
If there’s no group, no one to be using it on.
posted April 13, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Please! At least Bush had executive experience, he ran a state. What the heck has Obama even done. Sorry but there is no comparison.
The last part of your comment was confusing. I’m not sure what you are saying.
posted April 14, 2008 at 1:12 am
i agree! there’s absolutely no comparison between bush the failure and barack obama. thank god!
posted April 15, 2008 at 3:02 am
If executive experience is what you’re looking for, then McCain doesn’t qualify. Indeed, we’d need to confine our search strictly to governors.
Either we have governors with executive branch experience, or senators with both Federal Government and foreign affairs experience, or those who aren’t politicians at all, with none of the above.
When it comes to experience to be a president, the only one who’d have it is an incumbent.
As for the last part of the post..
If you don’t have anyone in your own group to insult, using Jesus as an example, then there’d be no need to be insulting anyone at all. Since Jesus is never recorded as having used that harsh language against pagans, the Romans, or any but those self righteous among his own group.
