Sting. A good singer, a good songwriter, but a horrible political thinker (if that’s what you want to call it). In a recent article I found on Breitbart Sting apparently thinks that Obama is “Sent fron God because the world’s a mess.”
Firstly Sting Shut up! Secondly, that’s funny from a man who doesn’t believe in God.
It’s funny because in an interview with Simon Pitts of the BBC on Setenber 27, 2003 Sting Said “So I think when religion is used for political ends – and very narrow political ends – then there’s something seriously wrong.”
So I guess Sting what your saying is that when anyone else uses religion it’s bad but when a radical liberal and his croonies want to take over the US political system and completely change our political and economic structure it’s okay to speak in religious terms. Why would that be? Oh Yes, because it suits your ends. Of coure you would see no problem with your hypocracy because it’s YOU and your so enlightened.
Sting goes on to say of Obama after spending time with him “[I] found him to be very genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world.”
Okay Several things jump out at me about being ridiculous in this comment.
One, Sting please define very present. I’m present here right now does that qualify me for the presidency?
Secondly, Why was he meeting with YOU? I think our Generals and other American political figures that our relative to what is going on here should take priority. This just speaks volumes about Obama’s rock star mentality.
Thirdly, Super smart!? Are you kidding me? All of his plans are failing miserably. The economy is tanking, our dollar is worth nothing, and Obama’s plan is to PRINT MORE and bail even more companies out, but he’s super smart. Please Sting when you make broad comments like that, please back them up.
Fourthly, I don’t care what you think we need in the world He’s America’s president (that’s debateable) not the world’s!
Sting then went on to say that the backlash against Obama was frightening. He also said that “They don’t want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there.”
Yes Sting yes we did feel safe there. If there you’re refering to a free market economy with people controlling their lives rather than some beurocracy then yes Sting we felt very comforted indeed. However when the chsnge proposed by Obama is one in which we are socialist and incentive for hard work is taken, change that places government at the helm of your life anda ll it’s undertakings no keep the change! Why fix it if it’s not broken?!!!
Sting closed his comments with the following statement:
“we seem to be living in a currency of medieval ideas.”
“My hope is that we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color,” he said. “We are here to evolve as one family, and we can’t be separate anymore.”
Medieval ideas huh? Like…? I love it when celebrities make vague comments and then don’t back them up. Things like that don’t make you look enlightened Sting. They make you look an ass!
The last sententence really sums it up though. He wants religion gone and the world to live as one.
You are right though Sting The world is a family and we do need to learn to exist together. America does send out many millions of dollars all the time to countries in need. We are trying to live together. However families are meant to grow up and live on their own.
After all Sting you don’t still live with your parents do you? Your brothers and Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins don’t occupy rooms in your house do they? NO! We are meant to be seperate autonomous people, living as we see fit. We have the individual right to pursue life, liberty and happinesswithout government telling us what that happiness is!
Oh yeah and Sting, whether you like it or not our creator gave us that right and all the others that America offers. That means God.
Ben Franklin
