I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away”.
Percy Byyshe Shelley
Hattip to Christopher Johnson at Midwest Conservative Journal, both for the story and the Ozymandias reference.
For those who thought Obama worship was only a thing of the 2008 campaign:
A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.
Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade of the waist-up rendering of the chief executive.
The sand sculpture was protected from above, and Mr. Obama’s face didn’t see too much damage. But the storm was so strong that its heavy winds blew the rain sideways, pelting the president’s right side and leaving the sand pockmarked and completely erasing his right elbow.
Democrats’ choice of Charlotte has drawn criticism from unions who don’t like North Carolina’s labor laws, and the state seems to be tilting away from Democrats politically.
The large Rushmore-style sculpture drew comparisons to Mr. Obama’s 2008 convention in Denver, when he accepted his party’s nomination on a stage that looked like a Greek temple.
Democrats simply fail to see how this type of adulation of the Southside Messiah looks to normal people. Unlike 2008, I believe they will find out come election day.
I have come to the conclusion that it is simple impossible to be an authentic Christian and a member of the Democratic party. When given the choice between Our Lord and Barabbas, these people have chosen Barabbas. God help us he is “re-elected”. If this is an honest election, or as close as possible, Romney/Ryan will win, but I put NOTHING pass Obama, the machine behind him and the palace guard media that protects him and lies for him. Our Lady of America, pray for us!
Well said Siobhan! Right-On Exactly! I stand with your beliefs to the letter!
