Religious Right Watch: Obamageddon is nigh!

[nhboy]

"The religious right never goes down without a fight, and given the dwindling chance that their candidates, Sarah Palin and John McCain, can win the White House, they’re taking the fight to extreme new levels. Prominent figures are comparing supporters of Sen. Barack Obama to the Nazis, warning that God will condemn Americans if they don’t vote for McCain, accusing Obama’s family of witchcraft and foretelling a future when Christianity is criminalized by an Obama administration. Are you prepared for Obamageddon?

Perhaps the most controversial essay in the final week of the election season comes from the evangelical news outlet, World Net Daily. Under the screaming headline, “Ex-Hitler youth compares Obama to Nazi rise,” Hilmar von Campe goes on a Godwinesque diatribe: The Democratic Party, with the leadership of Obama, the Clintons, Reid, Pelosi and comrades, is an illegitimate party that is destroying the Constitution – which leads to spiritual, political and economic disaster. It is illegitimate because of policy principles like abortion and also Darwinism being taught in schools.

Having grown up in the godless totalitarian Nazi society, it is appalling for me to watch that in America, politicians can speak of their “Christian faith” and at the same time make abortion, same-sex marriage and homosexuality their party policy. Democrats are not fit for American constitutional government.

While most examples of Obamageddon where not as extreme, they still prophesy disaster at the hands of God if McCain is not president.

Charisma, a magazine targeted at Pentecostals, recently endorsed McCain saying, “[i]f Sen. Barack Obama is elected, life as we know it in many ways will end… [W]e must pray and work — before it’s too late — to see that Obama is not elected.”

The religious right is already gearing up for the massive culture war sure to come with an Obama presidency. Bill Donahue of the Catholic League told Reuters on Sunday, “I’ve been on the phone the last couple of days with some of my friends … and we’re getting ready for the biggest culture war battles ever.”

The Southern Baptist Convention agreed. “An Obama victory will galvanize social conservatives for 2010 and 2012 and they will look for a standard bearer they can rally around,” said Richard Land, who runs the public policy wing of the SBC.

That standard bearer will be Sarah Palin, says Lund. And for good reason. Palin told James Dobson last week that she is sure that God will do the right thing and put her and McCain in the White House. “And it also strengthens my faith because I know at the end of the day putting this in God’s hands, the right thing for America will be done, at the end of the day on Nov. 4,” she said.
