Double Outrage-or Is It Triple?
I don't know which I'm more outraged by: the Obama administration's request that an insignia about Christ at Georgetown University be covered up before the president speaks there, or the Catholic university's acquiescence. Some might say it's a small thing, but small things mean a lot, especially when our president has just gotten finished telling a Muslim nation that the United States is in no sense a Christian nation. Perhaps he ought to be as bold with us and try telling that to the 76 percent of American adults who identify themselves as Christians.

Obama: There can only be one, 'One'.
Some people have argued that Obama does not want to use religion to further a political ideology. However, Obama did evoke the Sermon on the Mount, at this Georgetown appearance, to further his economic agenda. Although Obama failed to mention Jesus Christ by name for the Sermon on the Mount.
“There is a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells a story of two men…‘the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house…it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock,’” Obama said.
“We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand,” he added. “We must build our house upon a rock.”
The last statement is particularly ironic since building your house upon a ‘ROCK‘ means to build your house with Christ as the foundation. Obama decided to blot out the real foundation from the timeless parable.
