Georgetown University Covers The Name of ‘Jesus’ for Obama Speech at White House’s Request

This makes total sense, since B. Hussein Obama (D-Kenya) decreed that we are not a Christian nation. Besides this is something you would do not to offend a Muslim. Remember Barry Soetoro converted to Islam and became Barrack Hussein Obama. On a side note… Buckwheat turned Muslim too. Now he is Kareemowheat. (I couldn’t help myself)

Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”–symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the “IHS” monogram that had previously adorned the stage at Georgetown’s Gaston Hall was still covered up–when the pediment where it had appeared was photographed by CNSNews.com.

“In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday’s event, Georgetown honored the White House staff’s request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage,” Julie Green Bataille, associate vice president for communications at Georgetown, told CNSNews.com.

“The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they’ve done for other policy speeches,” she added. “Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn’t high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context.”

On Wednesday, CNSNews.com inspected the pediment embedded in the wall at the back of the stage in Gaston Hall, where Obama delivered his speech. The letters “IHS” were not to be found. They appeared to be shrouded with a triangle of black-painted plywood.

Pictures of the wooden pediment prior to Obama’s speech show the letters “IHS” in gold. Many photos posted on the Internet of other events at Gaston Hall show the letters clearly.

The White House did not respond to a request from CNSNews.com to comment on the covering up of Jesus’ name at Gaston Hall.

Georgetown, which is run by the Jesuit order, is one of the most prestigious Catholic institutions of higher education in the United States.

Roman Catholics traditionally use “IHS” as an abbreviation for Jesus’ name. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “St. Ignatius of Loyola adopted the monogram in his seal as general of the Society of Jesus (1541) and thus became the emblem of his institute.” The Society of Jesus is the formal name for the Jesuits.

Although the monogram was covered over on the wooden pediment at the back of the Gaston Hall stage where it would have been directly above and behind President Obama as he spoke, the letters “IHS” are posted elsewhere around the hall approximately 26 times on shields representing different parts of the United States and the world.

Obama did not mention the name of Jesus during his address. However, he did mention Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.

“There is a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells a story of two men…‘the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house…it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock,’” Obama said.

“We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand,” he added. “We must build our house upon a rock.”

Here is another clip from Britain’s Got Talent 2009. This act is original and funny. I’m not sure what they could do for an encore. My guess is that they would pretty much be a one trick pony but their performance is fantastically funny all the same.

Britain’s Got Talent duo Stavros Flatley have revealed their comedy dance routine was dreamt up to entertain diners at a family restaurant.

Greek-Cypriot Demetrios Demetriou, 40, and son Lagi, 14, wowed viewers and judges on Saturday with their version of Michael Flatley’s Irish dance troupe Riverdance.

Demetrios explained: “Ten years ago I owned a Greek restaurant.

“The food wasn’t great and Gordon Ramsay would have hated it. We did a bit of cabaret and then we relied on that more as the food wasn’t good.

“I needed a finale to get people dancing. Michael Flatley was big at the time so I decided to give it a go.

“What is funnier than a fat fella doing Michael Flatley?” He pledged to jazz up the routine if they go all the way on the ITV1 show and said: “I’m feeding Lagi up for the finals.”

By John Lillpop

On the heels of the ”right-wing extremist” controversy coming from the Department of Homeland Security, a counter force is looking to identify and deal with left-wing extremists.

According to prudent sources, You Are a left-wing Extremist If You Believe that–

  • The U.S. Constitution is unconstitutional because women, racial, sexual preference, and religious minorities were all under represented in 1776

  • Nancy Pelosi understands the Catholic Church’s teachings on abortion better than all popes, past and present

  • Vast sections of America are still owned by Mexico, despite the Treaty of Guadeloupe, which was approved by both nations in 1848

  • Silencing conservative talk radio is vital to America’s national defense

  • Sandy Berger was a greater patriot and more honorable than Dick Cheney

  • Barney Frank would be a terrific Secretary of Defense

  • Freedom of choice is inalienable, except when it comes to heath care, saving for retirement, and other decisions best left to government

  • Hillary Clinton is a better role model than Mother Teresa

  • The right of government trumps all individual rights, notwithstanding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights

  • Illegal aliens must be counted in the 2010 Census in order to assure that sufficient Democrat ballots are ordered for the November elections

  • That white spot on Monica’s blue dress was actually secretarial “white out” planted by Linda Tripp to embarrass Bill Clinton

  • Reparations should be paid to African Americans who can prove they voted for Obama

  • Birth certificates must produced to purchase a gun, but are completely unnecessary in order to prove eligibility for the presidency

  • “Minutemen” refers to the sexual staying power of border patrol agents

  • Speaking English within ear shot of Hispanics obviously here illegally is a serious hate crime

  • Straight, white, employed Christian males should notify the local police 60 days before moving into a new neighborhood

  • Borders are unnecessary when proper diplomatic protocol is followed

  • Burning Old Glory is protected free speech, whereas rants by conservatives like Rush Limbaugh are “hate speech”

  • A woman’s right to abort the life of an innocent child is inalienable; whereas execution of a convicted killer is cruel, unusual & barbaric

  • Starving a helpless victim like Terri Schaivo to death is acceptable, but using lethal injection to end the life of a brutal killer is not

  • Publicly wishing a friend or family member “Merry Christmas” is clearly an act of civil disobedience and unconstitutional

  • While symbols of Christianity must be hidden, Islam must be openly promoted in the name of religious awareness and tolerance

  • Separation of state and government applies only to Christianity and Judaism.

  • Leveling the playing field between haves and have-nots is the most important function of government, even more so than national security.

  • Tax cuts are wrong when returned to people who actually paid taxes, but perfectly fine when sent to those who paid none

  • Paying higher taxes is the “Patriotic” thing to do

  • Marriage is no longer necessary to sanctify man-woman relationships; however, it is absolutely essential that same-sex couples be allowed to marry

  • Enforcing U.S. borders and immigration laws is wrong because it discriminates against Hispanics

  • Those who support English as America’s official language are racists, but those who prefer Spanish and other foreign languages over English are OK because of the inherent value of diversity

  • Conservatives who seek to preserve American culture are hate mongers, whereas immigrants are encouraged to celebrate their heritage even if it interferes with assimilation into mainstream America

  • Skyrocketing energy costs devastate working American families, but protecting Alaskan wild life is a greater priority

  • Outsourcing American jobs to foreign nations is driven by immoral corporate greed, but open borders and amnesty are acceptable because most illegal aliens are future Democrats

  • Huge profits are obscene, except when enjoyed by Bill and Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Teddy Kennedy, and other liberals

  • Military force must never be used, except when needed to obscure a Democrat president’s sexual misconduct in the Oval Office

  • Invading a foreign nation is wrong, except when aliens from Mexico invade America

Being a left-wing extremist is the least patriotic behavior that one can engage in. Avoid liberalism at all costs!
