I guess that depends on whether you are one of us; the perpetually oppressed and innocent victims of racial injustice for the past hundreds of years,
or one of those 'others'."

. (AP) Senator Barack Obama has told members of his denomination that some conservative Christian leaders have exploited and politicized religion to sow division.
In a 30-minute speech before the national meeting of the United Church of Christ, which supports gay marriage, the Democratic presidential candidate said, "Faith got hijacked, partly because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, all too eager to exploit what divides us." Obama said, "They've told Evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design." Obama said a growing number of evangelicals are concerned about poverty and the environment.
The enemy is the conservative Christians.
Sort of like accusing the Amish of hi-jacking the automotive industry.
Since they got their tails handed them in 2002, and 2004.
He is talking very much like the AntiChrist from the bible.
Wow!
Those terrible Conservative Christians, trying to abide by Jesus’ commandments...Obama has never considered that he has been listening to, has been taught and believes in “another gospel” not taught in the Bible.
Liberals are like the bad guys of wrestling and they don’t even care when the Referee is watching.
Someday Mr. Obama is going to meet Jesus and learn the nature of his sin on this world—arrogance.
Barry's arrogance is the singular kind that thinks he's ready to stand toe-to-toe wih our Maker in the making of another (implicitly better) Kingdom!
It's really going to suck to be BHO on that great gettin' up morning! --if not sooner as well.
I thank God BHO has grown weary of dragging his lying mask, and now has openly exposed himself and his mentor.
Definitely boint toast, well beyond this election. However, the cognitive dissonance of this yet-likely-win (if Dhims could just play according to their own rules) of the Demon party nomination, with this albatross now firmly in place portends much serious popcorn consumption yet in our futures.

Total BS con game
Baracks version of unification and ending division is people agree with him and sign onto his program. Such as this alleged church and it’s advocacy for gay marriage
ARROWHEAD1952: PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIAN LEADERS HAVE LEFT THE FAITH
I’m so glad that Obama is such a uniter!/sarc off
Any other group he wants to demonize?
“But it’s always easier to organize around intolerance, narrow-mindedness, and false nostalgia. And they also have hijacked the higher moral ground with this language of family values and moral responsibility.”
