Conservative Christians and Obama
March 1, 2015
I am still getting e-mails from conservative Christian groups with subject lines of “Obama is a communist,” “Obama is a Marxist,” “Obama is a Muslim,” “Obama is an alien,” and “Obama hates America.” What I never hear from these groups is any criticism of Obama for something bad he has actually done, like continue Bush’s wars, continue Bush’s spying on Americans, continue Bush’s killing of civilians with drone strikes, and continue Bush’s policy of keeping U.S. troops in 150 countries to police the world. Gee, I wonder why. Could it be that they have no problem with Obama doing these things just like they had no problem with Bush doing these things?
