The Obama Horror Picture Show

By Robin of Berkeley

I recently received an e-mail that made my skin crawl. It was in response to a spiritually oriented article.





The e-mailer, Carl, penned the following, which was short, but not sweet:





Jesus and his followers must be destroyed. They are responsible for all the evil in the world.





After opening this mail, I sat frozen in my seat for several minutes. I felt like I had seen something that human eyes shouldn't behold, like I had happened upon a gruesome crime scene.





Each day, I feel that same creepy sensation upon hearing the latest news. I'm glimpsing such darkness that my first instinct is to quickly look away.





There's Obama ordering assassinations of American citizens. I repeat: That peacenik, Barack, orders Americans to be killed far from the battlefield. While George W. Bush was raked over the coals for detaining alleged terrorists, Obama appears to be having them snuffed out, to almost no outrage.





Next up, we have JournoList -- hundreds of journalists conspiring to elect Obama. This is proof positive that reporters behaved unethically during the election and beyond.





And what has been Obama's most notable accomplishment since assuming the presidency? Steering us toward a race war.





The constant cries of racism are designed to inflame and agitate. And talk about projection: Has there ever been a more racially biased administration? An inspector general reveals bias in the closure of some auto dealerships.





Race-baiting, assassinations, journalists conspiring to rig an election. As a psychotherapist, I try to recall when I've seen such pathology.





And even though I've worked with some serious lowlifes, I have to wrack my brains. Because I have even known crack addicts and child abusers with more of a conscience than some in the Ruling Class.





Conscience has nothing to do with money or status or Ph.D.s. Being a decent human being requires character. Too many on the Left think that if they simply support Obama, they're exempt from the rules of civility.





The language of psychiatric diagnosis doesn't explain the insanity. For me, there is only word that fits: evil.





Simple narcissism does not explain my e-mailer Carl, who wants to destroy Jesus and his followers; or Sara Spitz of NPR, who gleefully fantasizes about watching Rush's "eyes bug out" while he dies in agony; or King of the New Black Panthers, screaming expletives about killing cracker babies.





But it's not just Carl and Sara. People all around are becoming sicker and sicker. More than this, they are becoming less and less human. They're resembling something out of Night of the Living Dead.





It's no wonder: The Left is in charge, and it is a death cult. This is why the progressives are obsessed with destruction and death: euthanasia, abortion, killing granny. And that's why their rhetoric is hate-filled and profane.





Evil's only power is through destruction. Evil has no ability to create. It survives by siphoning off the vitality of robust others.





With wickedness now in the highest of places, evil has gone viral. An epidemic, it threatens everyone it touches.





Evil is contagious because it seduces those who are hollow inside. Dominating another can be the most intense aphrodisiac. Hate is a way for a diminished person to feel powerful -- or to feel anything at all.





But this is not true power. Power comes only from Forces beyond. Real power is accessible through goodness and love.





The progressives are like angry toddlers kicking at their father's shin. In their grandiosity and moral blindness, they actually think that they can bring him down.





They are like Carl, whose e-mail about destroying Jesus and his followers I couldn't get out of head.







There was something in his e-mail that called to me, that beckoned me to reply. So, rather than consigning it to my spam folder, I wrote Carl the following:





Oh, my dear Carl. You cannot destroy God. God is in everyone and everything.





Why do you feel this way, Carl? Did someone hurt you? Or break your heart? Did someone crush your spirit?





Know that whatever was done to you was done by a person, a flawed human being, who was living far, far away from God. God has never left you, Carl. He's holding you in his arms right now and will not let you fall.





But I never heard from him again.
