Feigning greatness through a poetry of words, rock star Barack Obama stepped into the limelight and onto a pedestal to formally accept the party of death's nomination for President of the United States.
The crowd chants "yes we can" and "Obama" responds with "profound gratitude and great humility" against the failed policies of George W. Bush.
His speech was inspiring, filled with anecdotal stories and memorable slogans. Obama articulates promises for "defining moments", emotive change and compassionate programs to redistribute the wealth of some for consumption by the many.
The people love him. Perhaps you do too.
Obama yells "enough!" as he attacks his political opponents while the crowd goes wild. He's a celebrity who loves his children and measures progress by new jobs. He'll end our addiction to oil from the Middle East and pay for every new program by stripping tax breaks from the undeserving.
Fireworks, chants, tears and confetti fill the stadium while 85,000 worshippers cheer the stunning spectacle of this agent of change.
But Obama falls flat on his face and is rendered speechless when measured against the epic yardstick of justice. His words mock the sanctity of human life by proclaiming a moral obligation to give every child a "world class education" while rejecting the moral obligation to protect every child's life. In Obama's eyes, not even newborns have achieved a level of humanity worth notice and there is no point in time when unborn children are safe from abortion.
Conservative pundits will no doubt take issue with Obama's re-packaged style of socialism and sale of an empty anti-republican vision.
I take issue with Obama's failure to recognize human dignity as the foundational principle for freedom and prosperity. Obama doesn't get it.
Are you for real? Sorry but you are so unbelievable that I can't even take you seriously.
Obama played the messiah thing really good.
