I just finished a very scary book. Hitler's Cross by Dr. Erwin Lutzer (senior pastor at Moody Church in Chicago) was first published in 1995, well before Barack Obama arrived upon the national scene. It was not written with Obama in mind; however, the parallels between Hitler's absolute rule over the Fatherland, and the messianic worship of Obama simply cannot be denied.
Hitler, early in his career, published Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"). Obama, of course published the story of his "struggle", The Audacity of Hope.
Hitler had complete and absolute control of the news media. He had complete control of the thoughts and minds of the people. (Those who weren't zombies of the state were killed or persecuted. )Much reminiscent of Newspeak in Orwell's 1984, Hitler created his own self-serving state language, which replaced Jesus with Hitler as Savior, and declared certain groups of people "non-human". Today, we not only think of the Supreme Court declaring the pre-born child "non-human" , but we can clearly see cultural marxism (i.e., "political correctness") being shoved down our throats in the form of Hate Crimes legislation. Just as Hitler silenced any opposition in his day, so now Christians who dare to speak out against abortion, sodomites, or the tyranny of the Nanny State, are feeling the heat.
Just as Hitler re-wrote German history to remove its Jewish contributions, so our textbooks are filled with revisionism that removes all Christian influence from the founding of our nation.
Just as Hitler was a firm believer in evolution, so this baseless theory is presented as fact in every school district and science textbook in the United States.
Hitler had his own army of enforcers that answered only to him, the Brown Shirts. Now we see that Obama is cooking up his own plan to indoctrinate our young men and women and raise up a para-military (and might I say, para-Constitutional) civilian army that answers only to him.
And, as you can see in this eerie video below, all tyrants must have the hearts and minds of their youth:
Now, I am very interested in politics and history, as you can tell by my blog. But, even with those that I admire most (President Ronald Reagan, for example), I have never felt the need to sing about them, especially not to indoctrinate my kids into thinking that any one man can "change the world" and bring "happiness". This is just spooky!
One of the saddest realizations I got from reading Hitler's Cross, is that the problem of atheistic government and tyranny did not actually begin in the halls of legislators. It began in the church. Germany had long been a gathering place for liberal theologians who questioned the inerrancy of Scripture and cast doubt on the Word of God. By the time Hitler arrived on the scene, the "Christians" of Germany were just token church-goers, with no foundation upon which to stand. I fear for my country, when I consider how our churches today have forsaken the perfectly preserved inspired Word of God for perverted translations. This has opened the door for today's hip social gospel, the kind that would invite an unregenerate, pro-abortion, sodomite-loving politician to share the pulpit. God have mercy on America!

Wonderful job once again shedding light on the pitiful shape that this country is in. Knowing the Christians that I do that voted for Obama proves the point about what you had to say in the last paragraph.
You might like to read George Friedman's "The Next 100 Years, A Forecast For The 21st Century." It will give you another view, while still dire, of what the world will be doing. I liked reading it, think you would also.
I am currently reading this book. My father has had it for many years and just loaned it to me. When I read the first several pages I wondered if the author was trying to make a connection to Barak Obama, then I looked at the publication date and saw 1995. Obama wasn't even known publicly at that time so any similarities to him are either accidental or Divinely Providential. 2 comments really got my attention early on: (page 32) "He (Hitler) would use democracy as the path to power, then crush that democracy once he gained control." Obama has already criticized the limitations of the Constitution, and (page 33) "Hitler was delighted with the economic crisis: these were fertile times to gain the ear and vote of the masses". Remember Rahm Emmanuel who said "You never let a crisis go to waste, and what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you thought you could not do before." The book is truly scary because we can see so much of our country, the world and our church in it.
Well said, Max!
