Barack Obama to Swear into Office on Homosexual Atheist's Bible
Well, it seems to be official. Barack Obama will be taking the Oath of Office on January 20, 2009, with his right hand planted firmly on the Bible owned by a man who neither believed in a personal god nor preferred the company of women in the bedroom.
That's right. He somehow managed to score the same Bible on which fellow Illinoisiate Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as president…
"President-elect Obama is deeply honored that the Library of Congress has made the Lincoln Bible available for use during his swearing-in," said Presidential Inaugural Committee Executive Director Emmett Beliveau.
"The President-elect is committed to holding an Inauguration that celebrates America's unity, and the use of this historic Bible will provide a powerful connection to our common past and common heritage."
Such a thumbing of the nose at all the good old fashioned family values on which this country was founded will almost certainly come as a blow to all the decent Americans who were hoping that anti-gay rights Christian Pastor Rick Warren's prayer at the inauguration was a signal to their ranks that he would be continuing the current administration's policy of coddling them.
No such luck. By deliberately choosing the Bible of Abraham Lincoln — a man who, if not an absolute homosexual, certainly had strong homosexual leanings, and who believed in neither the Bible nor a personal god — Obama seems to be giving aid and comfort to the enemies of American values.
The day seems to belong to the degenerate heathen sodomites.
Update: Reading through the comments to this post, it occurs to me that yet another tired old stereotype has now been laid to rest…
Liberals are no better at interpreting satire than conservatives are.
Cold, empty, meaningless universe bless America.

The issue here is not what bible Obama choses, but what is point swearing on a bible has at all!?! This is suppose to be a secular society, burn the fucking bible and get on with leading the country out of the holly war America has launched in the middle east.
You're being manipulated. It's political theatre, people. He's taking the oath on Lincoln's Bible to reinforce the concepts of growth and progress that are invoked for marketing propaganda in the sciences, in technology, in economics, in social justice, and elsewhere. Many smart people, including the former editor of Ebony Magazine, have reason to believe that Lincoln was probably a racist who only abolished slavery to undermine the Southern war effort.

fuck this site
fuck you, that is the most insightful post I've read in a long time. Keep up the good work!
you are a fucking idiot.

Well, it appears there are still morons who enjoy writing bullshit propaganda.
How do you see this as an "insult to Americans" when he is using the same bible as the president who defeated the retard south(admit it, everyone thats not from the south knows this is a fact their retarded) and finally freed the African American race from slavery.
And if you actually went out and talked with the American Public instead of sitting at your computer writing BS slander, you would come to realize that Religion IS NOT what this country is about, its FREEDOM. Freedom to be gay, freedom to believe that you are your own god, or freedom to believe in some BS god in the sky, the bible, and jesus are/were "real" (hey, you can believe that if you want, but the majority of the public that actually matters in this country will laugh in your face).
Jesus was some dude who ate some mushrooms just like many other "prophets" and saw some crazy ass trippy shit,(sound crazy, well do your research on the idea and you'll find more fact than fiction).
And on top of that, I can't even KEEP COUNT of the number of GAY PRIESTS in Christianity, Mormonism, Judaism, or Catholicism. I mean seriously, bashing on gay people when you categorize yourself into any one of those religions makes you the BIGGEST hypocrite ever. Hell, I really dislike the Islamic religion too, but they're not hypocrites like christians, islamic followers actually live their life by their religion(and they hate gays even more than us).
So please, when you say "American Values" please remember that every American has different values, and if you think we are "Anti-Gay" as a people or country, guess what, your religion and country is the least homophobic country in the world, so why the fuck don't you go move to the middle east where people share the same hate for our fellow men/women that you so strongly try to push onto others.
since this is on indecision 08, i'm assuming this is a deliberately sarcastic conservative article, and that the author believes just the opposite…
like the Colbert Report…
if not, then fail.
I don't think you guys are getting the sarcasm in this article…
Aha so what we have here is another agent of intolerance. There is nothing wrong with being an Atheist, indeed, it tells you someone is thinking for a change.
As for the homos, leave them alone, there are bigger fish to fry.
