ObamaMessiah

Via Byron York at NRO, this tasty peek at idolatry on the political circuit. From an invocation given by Rev. Joseph Lowery, who apparently is still with us, although at 86 he may have lost sight of who is Savior might be:
“Tomorrow, we shall achieve the victory, that the kingdom of God may come on earth as it is in heaven, and all those who love the Lord and will vote for Obama, say Amen.”
In some ways this is worse than Obama’s long-time chum and spiritual advisor, pastor and baptizer of his children, Jeremiah Wright. Wright just damned America from the pulpit, and performed pornographic gyrations thereupon.
Lowery just plain committed blasphemy. This isn’t “blackspeak.” There is no excuse; no context that makes such speech anything else but blasphemy.
For those who may have forgotten their Sunday school lessons, the kingdom of God will arrive with the second coming of Jesus. Not a moment’s before. And certainly not because of any candidate for any secular office.
