On the north side of the tree--at a height of about 4 feet and easily visible to people standing near it---there is an ornament that says: "I ♥ President Obama."

Jonathan Cahn of the Jerusalem Center-Beth Israel Congregation in Wayne, N.J., says an otherwise obscure passage in the Book of Isaiah is since Sept. 11, 2001, being uncannily re-enacted in the U.S. just the way it originally played out in the time of the great prophet of Israel leading to the nation's captivity and dispersions.

Even his inane answers in the most recent debate about how Iran poses no threat to the U.S. or Israel or its neighbors in the Middle East didn't upset me too much. I just chalked it up to his isolationist extremism - something I could overlook because of his boldness in wanting to cut $1 trillion out of the federal government's budget immediately.
Then came his incredibly insulting, demeaning, malicious, defamatory and wholly untrue statement on "The Tonight Show" about Michele Bachmann - the very best candidate seeking the Republican presidential nomination.

McManus Note: (That stands for "Shut The (Bleep) Up"
 |
| Libtalker / Former CNN Host Bill Press- 'S-T-F-U Tim Tebow!' |
You've heard of religious hypocrites who
wear religion on their sleeves? As quarterback for the University of Florida, Tebow first attracted national attention - and 100 million Google hits - by wearing religion on his face. For every game, he referenced a verse of Scripture on his black eye patches. It was his way of saying to the world: "Hey, look at me! I'm a Christian! I read the Bible!"
Today, as quarterback of the Denver Broncos, Tebow takes religion to a new public level, dramatically dropping to one knee in prayer after every touchdown - a pose now officially known as "tebowing" - and crediting Jesus for every success on the field. Last week, after the Broncos' overtime win against the Chicago Bears,
Tebow gushed to reporters: "I guess, first and foremost, I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." Oh, yeah, and after that, "I just want to thank my teammates and coaches."
To which I just want to say: "Shut up!" OK, so Tim Tebow's a Christian. Good for him. He's also a mediocre quarterback, is frequently sacked, throws wildly and often misses his target.
More to the point,
Tebow's constant praying to and braying about Jesus trivializes Christianity. If religion's about anything, it's about more important matters than who wins a bingo game or football game. And I was taught in Sunday school that one's faith is not something to brag about. In fact, for his next black eye patch, I suggest Tebow sport Matthew 6:5-6: "When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners. ... When you pray, pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Now, if you're one of the silly millions who still see nothing wrong with Tebow's in-your-face brand of religion, consider this: What if Tim Tebow were a devout Muslim who bowed to Mecca after every touchdown while shouting: "Allahu Akbar!" Somehow, I don't think we'd be celebrating him as a national hero.

1.
Politely object to Bill Press' vulgar attack on Tim Tebow's Christian faith.
