A leading Democratic candidate for president attends an “Afrocentric” church that bestows awards on Louis Farrakhan and practically defines itself through race-baiting. Burt Prelutsky asks, why isn’t Barack Obama’s faith-based problem making national headlines and the nightly news?
One of the obvious differences between Democrats and Republicans is the role that religion plays in their presidential campaigns. For instance, every Democrat, while pretending to believe that “separation of church and state” actually appears somewhere in the Constitution, must also insist that religion plays an essential role in his or her life. But just about the only time you see them going to church is when they’re posing for the cameras while addressing a black Baptist congregation.
What’s more, when questioning these people, the liberal media kindly limits itself to a yes or no question regarding the existence of God.
Why is it, I wonder, that nobody is asking Barack Obama about his religious convictions?
For over 20 years, Sen, Obama has been a faithful member of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. The other day, I paid a visit to Trinity’s website.
Now, my own reasons for hoping that Sen. Obama is not elected president next November are pretty much the same reasons I object to Hillary Clinton and John Edwards. I consider all three of them to be anti-military, tax raising, left-wing flyweights who would bury this country in entitlements while essentially ignoring Islamic fascism.
That being said, I have no idea how a member of a black church that apparently feels it owes greater allegiance to Africa than to America and that pays homage to a bigot like Farrakhan, has the gall to present himself as the one candidate who can bring us all together.

Any religion based on race is just creepy.
Father Boutros is an Egyptian Coptic priest who has peacefully inspired about 500 Egyptian Muslims to convert to Christianity, something considered a crime punishable by death in the Muslim world.
For carrying out those conversions, he was imprisoned twice while he was living in Egypt in the early 1980’s and is now living in exile outside of the country.
TV host Adib, in threatening Father Boutros, said that no one will remain quiet about what Father Boutros says and does even today. He will be cut up into little pieces. If he were still in Egypt, he would never be able to return to his home alive. He was told he would not get away with those conversions of Muslims to Christianity.
Egyptian Copts have been living under extreme fear, oppression and terror in Egypt more than ever before for the last 30 years.
Coptic girls have been disappearing and kidnapped by Muslim gangs and later placed into forced conversions and marriages to Muslim men. If they attempt to go back to Christianity they are murdered as apostates.
Churches are being burned and Copts by the dozens are being killed. The last attack was in Alexandria recently when a nun was stabbed, Bibles were burnt, and the local Coptic Church was desecrated by a mob.

Then you've got people who have or likely have small portions of genetic heritage in obscure tribes. I'm a fifth-generation native of California, with white pioneers going back to the 1860s, but we suspect that somewhere along the line, there was an intermarriage or two with California Indians from God only knows which of a gazillion tiny and obscure tribes. Also, my great grandfather was a Sonoran Mexican with ZERO European in his blood -- he was of "La Raza," as the "hispanic" racists would say.
The whole thing is a bunch of crap and people who dispute how to define the obvious usually have a "politically correct" agenda that leans toward the left. I don't mean you personally, beejaa, but I do mean to say that getting bunched up over Politically Correct labels plays into the hands of deception and manipulation. There's nothing deceptive or maniuplative about "American Indian."
The FIRST Hussein was bad enough! Help defeat Osama Obama!
Well said.
Many Americans are a mixture.
Oprah was very disappointed when Tiger Woods refused her race baiting questions that Tiger said would dis-respect his mother.
Tiger said that he was an American.
Not some hybrid.
Racist Oprah was not happy.
Why? Last election our fellow Americans nearly elected the likes of Kerry.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
A lot of “native Americans”—that is, American Indians, prefer “Indian”—
Did he really not salute the flag at this event

He doesn’t have a jacket—
I couldn’t access your linked video. Mind giving me a summary of what was on it?
Love the crescent moon symbol - does our Muslim candidate think he’s running for president of Algeria??
It is a series of under cover videos taken inside various muslim buildings where many different islamic leaders were giving lectures on how to lie to non muslims effectively.
They talked about how to kill the non muslims and why...
Being a Islamic Trojan Horse to kill Jews, then to trick stupid Christians , then kill Christians was a topic of some humor.
Various leaders explained that women should be beated if they do not listen properly, that children must go to the muslim schools...
It is faily long.
Close : He is a muslim Trojan Horse running for ...
I am willing to call them whatever they want. I always thought “Indian” was an insult to them.
Anyone born in this country is a “native” American.
They need to come up with a new term.
HOORAY for Tiger! :^)
Tiger is good.
Oprah was po’ed.
