Friday Night Videos: Jesus Christ Pose

This has been one heck of a week in politics. Leftists from all angles are trying to hold their ground, as they realize that the house of cards they've built is crumbling.

One thing that happens a lot in these situations is ridicule. Rule #5 from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" is as follows:

Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

There has been a lot of attempted ridicule from the left as of late. The "Climate Change" scam and the D. C. blizzards have brought it front and center. Sarah Palin speaking at Tea Party Nation's event last week has created a firestorm. I even experienced it personally today in a post I did about Michelle Obama's daughters and how I believe it releates to "Health Care" - please feel free to leave Judi a nice comment in my post or on her site if you desire.

As the leftists attempt to ridicule or insult me, all I can think of sometimes is this great song by one of my favorite bands: Jesus Christ Pose by Soundgarden.

This song created some controversy when the band released their second album Badmotorfinger in 1991. Many Christians believed the song presented some sort of anti-Christian message, but they were not at all correct. I've included the lyrics below, and I believe any critical thinker can understand that the band was not sending any anti-Christian message at all.

According to the band, the song is a criticism of how public figures use religion to portray themselves as being 'better' than others. The band admittedly chose the symbol of Christ, because unfortunately some use Christ and His image in a false sense of martyrdom.

Discussing the song in an interview, Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell said:

You just see it a lot with really beautiful people, or famous people, exploiting that symbol as to imply that they're either a deity or persecuted somehow by their public. So it's pretty much a song that is nonreligious but expressing being irritated by seeing that. It's not that I would ever be offended by what someone would do with that symbol.

So when you're called a "flat-earther" by a liberal whose religion is Global Warming...

Or if you're called "uneducated" by a leftist who hates the idea that you believe our Founding Fathers had the right idea...

Or because you are able to see through their games and don't want the "health care bill" they wish to jam down our throats, they call you "stupid" as Judi called me in my post... Just remember, they're simply looking at you in their Jesus Christ Pose.




And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose,
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load.

And you swear to me
You don't want to be my slave,
But you're staring at me
Like I need to be saved!

In your Jesus Christ pose...
In your Jesus Christ pose...

Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose,
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the Lord.

And I swear to you
That I would never feed you pain,
But you're staring at me
Like I'm driving the nails!

In your Jesus Christ pose...
In your Jesus Christ pose...

Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose,
Thorns and shrouds
Like it's the coming of the Lord.

Would it pay you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns?
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Than to bury you poor!

In your Jesus Christ pose
