Jeff, your research and commentary are both well done and well said, as always. All American voters need to know precisely what kind of ‘theology’ Reverend Wright dispenses from the pulpit each week. They also need to do some analysis of the ‘theology’ to which Barack Obama has been exposed for more than twenty years – and to which he has chosen to expose his children for their entire young lives. What do those consious choices imply?

A church is loosely defined as a body or organization of religious believers, and a minister is loosely defined as the church’s spiritual overseer.

Both the sermons that Pastor Wright has delivered, and the literature that is readily available in the library of Trinity Church, clearly define that church as one that has as its core belief the theology of black liberation. No one could possibly attend Trinity Church for more than twenty years without recognizing that its main message is that of black liberation theology, as you have described in all its hate-filled ugliness above.

The only rational explanations (I invite the possibility of others, but sincerely doubt that they exist, other than in the mind of leftist apologists) for Barack Obama’s continued membership in, and regular attendance at, Trinity Church are:

(1) He embraces the belief that man has the right to pour God into his own mold, and to demand of God that He fulfill certain man-authored prerequisites in order to deserve worship -- and those prerequisites to which man may hold God accountable may include the condoning of hatred toward another race, and even the desire to inflict harm on that race
- or –

(2) Obama does not believe (1) above, but condones a spiritual advisor and overseer who does, and willingly supports (both spiritually and financially) the dissemination of life- and civilization-altering spiritual messages with which he vehemently disagrees.

If such a man is elected to the presidency, then we will have placed in the position of leader of the free world a man who either (1) despises the white race, or (2) possesses the foresight, principles and convictions of an alley cat.

A commenter on my weblog recently wrote, ‘If we elect this man, it will mean that either (1) we agree with the hate-filled, anti-American philosophy defined by black liberation theology, or (2) we haven’t done our homework regarding this man’s genuine beliefs.’

I think I know the American people well enough to know that we have yet to reach the point at which we are willing to accept the hate-filled rantings of BLT believers as true and deserving of respect.

But I also believe that ignorance and apathy are now rampant among the voting public, and there is a clear and present danger that this man will indeed rise to the presidency, simply because not enough of us are sufficiently informed to comprehend the ramifications of such a watershed event. He is, after all, charismatic (how I despise that word). And, unlike the historical kind of toxic charisma that has unleashed all manner of human tragedy in a cult-like setting, Obama’s particular brand of charisma – worst case scenario -- can conceivably bring down a republic, and affect the entire course of world history.

Thus it falls to each of us as God-fearing (meaning the one God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and His Son...and not the invention of conspiring men), patriotic Americans who have found out the truth of this shameful, dangerous sham, to spread the word and in as reasoned a manner as possible, to put the truth of it before the American people.

I believe God in Heaven has provided the opportunity, to the chagrin of the deceivers, to see the truth...and He has also provided the means (the internet, the forums, the blogs, the email chains, faxes, snail mail, phones, etc) so that we can dissiminate the message if we have the will.

It is the self same will of our founders and the original correspondences of liberty that they used through word of mouth and their mail system. We are empowered today to do the same and I believe if we exert oursleves, God will make our weaknesses strong and the word will get out and have its impact to the astonishment of our enemies.

I intend to do all in my power to help it happen.
