Based on the message being sent from the White House, America is turning into a country led by a bunch of entertainers resembling intrepid plane passengers who calmly read magazines during extreme turbulence.
You know the type: the airplane is being bombarded with lightning, altitude is being lost, and the cabin is being violently shaken, yet rather than white-knuckle shrieking, one or two aboard carry on casually thumbing through People magazine as if everything is fine.
Science fairs and White House Easter Egg Rolls aside, in Tikrit, Iraq at Camp Speicher, mass graves crammed with what may be the remains of 1,700 Shi’ite soldiers slaughtered by ISIS militants have been unearthed at the late Saddam Hussein’s presidential compound.
Meanwhile, back in Washington, D.C., like an air traveler unaffected by turbulence, Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States, chose to honor the resurrection of Jesus Christ by taking to the stage accompanied by the So You Think You Can Dance dance troupe to strut her stuff to Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s hit song “Uptown Funk.”
I liken Michelle’s Easter dance exhibition to the unruffled air traveler at his or her finest.
Maybe I’m a bit too critical, but I adhere to the old-fashioned belief that even if our nation has been blessed by an extremely enthusiastic “hood girl” wannabe like Michelle Obama, a funkadelic/“ptown funk gon’ give it to you” dance party for Resurrection Sunday lacks presidential propriety.
Shi’ite soldiers were machine-gunned down by the thousands, Kenyan children were slaughtered while praying, and Coptic Christians were beheaded on a beach. Meanwhile, instead of showing a sincere concern for the state of a world on fire, the wife of a president more worried about children being stung by bees than aborted or infected with a deadly paralytic Enterovirus that he imported feels it’s the perfect time to flaunt her well-toned guns at a secular sideshow of an Easter Egg Roll.
Far be it from me to criticize, but taken in context and based on the partying in the midst of the international chaos currently going on, something in this voyage to nowhere is dreadfully amiss. And,not to be a Negative Nancy or anything, but no amount of distraction, dancing, or pretending it’s not happening is likely to stop it.
In the Scripture, in the 4th chapter, 8th verse of his first letter to Timothy, Paul brought up an eternal truth that, before she exerts any more energy, Mrs. Obama clearly needs to comprehend. Paul’s course-correcting advice to his young charge was that “physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
In other words, when this plane goes down – and trust me, it is going down – no amount of healthy eating, ample hydration, or fancy aerobic dance moves is going to matter in eternity. So try as the FLOTUS might to dance her way through America’s funk, her message of gross indifference and callous disregard for worldwide misery reflects a profound spiritual malaise that requires an intervention far beyond a choreographed romp to “Uptown Funk.”
I’m really loving the theme/design of your blog.
Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?
A few of my blog visitors have complained about my blog
not working correctly in Explorer but looks great
in Safari. Do you have any recommendations to
help fix this problem?
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.
This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how
to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved
to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the future
and it’s time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if
I could I desire to suggest you some interesting
things or suggestions. Perhaps you can write next articles referring
to this article. I wish to read more things about it!
Hi there, I enjoy reading through your post. I like to
write a little comment to support you.
Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know your situation; we have created some nice methods and we
are looking to exchange solutions with other folks, why
not shoot me an email if interested.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really
something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for
me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try
to get the hang of it!
I’ve read a few excellent stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking
for revisiting. I surprise how so much effort you set to
create the sort of wonderful informative website.
I want to to thank you for this good read!!
I absolutely enjoyed every little bit of it.
I have you book-marked to check out new things you post…
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to know where u
got this from. thanks
Hello, this weekend is good designed for me, because this moment i am reading this great educational post here at my home.
Excellent post. I will be going through a few of these issues as well..
Hello there, You have done a fantastic job. I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I am sure they will be benefited from this web site.
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community. Your site provided us with valuable information to work on. You have done an impressive job and our whole community will be grateful to you.
If you are just seeking to play far more, sanctioned online
casinos take the cake.
If you are a higher roller with a massive price range, then high-stakes roulette
internet sites are for you.
A lack of trust can soon lead to players shifting their organization elsewhere.
My brother recommended I might like this website.
He was entirely right. This post truly made my day.
You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
Hi would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a honest price? Cheers, I appreciate it!

lunch break. I enjoy the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get
home. I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone ..

You can also visit to speak to a counsellor online.
I am actually thankful to the holder of this web page who has
shared this wonderful piece of writing at at this time.
I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found
any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for
me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content for you? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome web log!
This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I have found something that helped me. Cheers!
I truly love your site.. Pleasant colors & theme. Did you develop this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my own blog and would like to know where you got this from or what the theme is called. Many thanks!
Thank you, I have recently been searching for information approximately this topic for a while and yours is the best I have found out so far. However, what about the conclusion? Are you positive about the source?
I’d like to find out more? I’d care to find out more details.
Piece of writing writing is also a fun, if you be acquainted with then you can write otherwise it is complex to write.
I enjoy what you guys are usually up too. This sort of clever work and exposure! Keep up the great works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to my blogroll.
Hey very interesting blog!
Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
