Throw your crazy uncle under the bus




Obama just pitched his preacher of 20 years under the bus.

I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit.
Barak Obama statement on Jeremiah Wright.

But Barak HUSSEIN Obama, why didn't you say this a month ago? Two months ago? Four years ago? Ten years ago?
Part of what we’re seeing here is Rev. Wright represents a generation that came of age in the ’60s. He is an African American man who because of his life experience continues to have a lot of anger and frustration and will express that in ways that are very different from me and my generation partly because I benefited from the struggles of that early generation. And so part of what we’re seeing here is a transition from the past to the future and I hope that our politics represent that future.
Obama said on MSNBC on Friday night.

No, I don't think you get off that lightly. In the top video in my first post on this bigot, he keeps barking at Sean Hannity about liberation theology, about what books he has read on the subject, etc. etc. etc. For those who have no idea what liberation theology is, according to Wiki:
Liberation theology is a school of theology within Christianity, particularly in the Catholic Church. Liberation theology focuses on Jesus Christ as not only the Redeemer but also the Liberator of the oppressed. It emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to the poor and oppressed, particularly through political activism. Some elements of certain liberation theologies have been rejected by the Catholic Church.

Liberation theologians have been influenced, in varying degrees, by aspects of Marxism such as some versions of dependency theory and the concepts of alienation, surplus value, class struggle,and socialism. But they have not been slavish devotees of Marx, nor have they ignored other significant secular movements such as Freudianism, existentialism, and phenomenology. Still, although it is now being used with increasing reservation, Marxism still retains a measure of vitality in liberationist thinking, and the influence of Marxism has distorted the socioeconomic outlook of liberation theology.

In other words, our friend, the "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright, is just another in a long line of Marxists who twist the word of God into Bolshevik tripe. In the end, it has nothing to do with God as the Supreme Being, but the State.

And Obama is only distancing himself from this nutburger just NOW? Not after the first year or so?

Joseph Farah, who swings the sword of truth better than most, nails the sonuvagun right here.

Last night, after days of public revelations of what his pastor believes and preaches, the heat finally got too great and Obama was forced to distance himself from his longtime spiritual mentor. But the political necessities of the moment aside, what does it tell us about Obama and his candidacy that for 20 years he and his wife have been following this raving lunatic? He either has no judgment, no discernment, or he tacitly agrees with the filth he has been listening to preached from the pulpit for the last two decades.

Imagine yourself sitting in church on Sunday and hearing some of the above. What would you do? Would you continue attending such a church? Would you choose it as the place to get married? Would you choose this pastor as the one to baptize your children? Would you be a member for two decades? Would you dedicate your book to him? Would you appoint him to a leadership position in your campaign?

That's what Barack Obama did, as amazing as that may seem.


Hal Lindsey has this to say that sums up my feelings on this sudden rush by the Obama camp to try to put a bandaid on this festering sore of racism and hatred.

One of the reasons there are as many denominations within Christianity as there are is because people tend to congregate with like-minded believers under the teaching of a like-minded pastor.

That isn't to say all members agree on all things, but they agree with more things than they disagree, or else they move on to another church.

Jeremiah Wright married Barack Obama and his wife. Rev. Wright baptized both of his daughters. Obama credits Wright with leading him to Jesus. He has sat under Wright's teaching on morality, religion, race and politics for 20 years, but claims it is irrelevant to his campaign for the highest office in the land.

What does this say about what Barak HUSSEIN Obama and his wife, who has already made several anti-American statements on the record, really believe?

Oh, and I forget what the good book has to say about it:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

Corinthians 6:14

That about sums it up.
