How can a man who sat under Jeremiah Wright's preaching for twenty years, a man who refuses to wear a flag pin, a man who will not even put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played possibly have a legitimate chance of becoming President of the United States?
How can a man whose wife (after living a privileged life and going to Ivy League universities) says that she's never been proud of her country until her husband ran for President, even be considered.
Jeremiah Wright is an anti-American racist, pure and simple who still holds all whites responsible for slavery and the repression of black people.
Barrack Obama says that he's only heard him preach about Jesus and God. In other words, he just happened to miss all the anti white, anti American sermons.
It is extremely hard to believe that Wright only preached these sermons selectively, making sure Obama was not in the congregations when he preached them. And I submit to you that he did not just start preaching these negative sermons in the last couple of years. I think Mr. Wright has been harboring these thoughts in his heart for a long time.
If Mr. Obama has been going to his church for twenty years the odds of him not witnessing or hearing about at least one of these venomous diatribes are too high to even contemplate.
How can a man go to a church where the pastor preaches such a virulent anti-white message and expect to be elected to the highest office in the free world? Doesn't he have to be the President of all the people, white included?
Before some of you cherry pickers out there get on your high horse and accuse me of being prejudiced against Obama because he's black, let me say this. I don't care about the race or gender of the President of the United States, I just want the best person in the job and if I felt Barrack Obama was that person I'd vote for him in a New York minute.
I know that Obama has said that he doesn't agree with Wright's rants but he hasn't outright denounced them, called them scurrilous and divisive as they surely are.
And where are the New York Times front-page articles? I will guarantee you that if Pat Robertson had even uttered one anti-black word in one of his sermons it would have been splashed all over the front pages of America and a feature on the TV news shows.
And what if he had partnered up for a trip to a foreign country with the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan? What do you think the reaction would have been?
Yes the old double standard is at work again, but this time it's too little, too late. Fox News, bless them, has forced the issue and made it impossible to ignore, and rightfully so.
The people of this nation have a right to know.

The column I wrote recently about Barrack Obama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright got quite a lot of reaction and I would like to address some of it.
First of all, the clips we see over and over on TV were not shot by some clandestine far right wing political group bent on destroying Obama's bid for the Presidency. They were readily available to the public at large on the church's website. The church made no attempt to hide them.
Secondly, I have heard the statement that the remarks were taken out of context. This is so bogus. The remarks create their own context and were delivered with such vitriol that no one could doubt they're meaning.
It was mentioned that there only limited clips that show over and over. I sincerely doubt that this man has not developed his dislike for America and the white race in a short time. These remarks, in my opinion, come from many years of seething contempt. This kind of attitude doesn't happen overnight.
Now to the meat of the situation. Mr. Wright could have preached his hateful message ad infinitum without media attention and it would have been nobody's business what he preached had not one of his parishioners been a serious candidate for President. That makes it every American's business.
We have a right to be concerned about every iota of the moral, religious, personal and private beliefs of the person in whose hands we place the future of our country, our children and ourselves.
Mr. Obama has already admitted that he did not agree with Mr. Wright's more rabid statements and I believe him, but what America needs to know is why he would sit in Wright's church for twenty years and not denounce his anti white, anti-American ranting until he was forced to.
Why would he go along with something that he now says he so vehemently disagrees with? Because if he disagrees with what Wright has preached it demonstrates a serious lapse in judgment for him to sit in that church for twenty years and not object to this message.
And America has a right to know about Mr. Obama's judgment if he expects to be trusted with the nuclear codes. There is no time for lapses of judgment in the Oval Office. The result could be catastrophic.
Lastly someone threw out, "Judge not that ye be not judged." Actually when a person enters the public political arena they have conceded that point. They are knowingly putting their lives in the spotlight of public scrutiny, in essence, asking to be judged. And if that spotlight reveals the flaws, it goes along with the territory.
If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Pray for our troops.

Charlie Daniels for president!!!!!!!!!!!
^5 Charlie.
Charlie makes way too much sense.
If you stay in the pew, you must agree with the view.
Plain and simple.
The theology of the Trinity Church of Christ where Obama attends is Black Liberation Theology. Since Obama aspires to the Presidency of these United States, what he thinks and believes would impact us all. It would do us all good to understand just exactly what the Trinity Church of Christ (and other Black Liberation Theology churches like it) teach.
It is not your traditional Christian message.
20 years times 52 weeks of Sundays......over 1000 sermons.
Charlie Daniels has it right.
The odds are far too long to even begin to believe Barack.
...and it’s just that much better reading it while mentally applying that rich, deep voice.

Thank you Charlie,
You have it exactly right.
God Bless America!
Prayers to our Troops!
historical context “Chickens come home to roost”
http://www.malcolm-x.org/speeches/spc_120463.htm
This speech is sometimes called “The Chickens Come Home To Roost,” because of an answer Malcolm X gave in response to a question following the speech. The question concerned the late President John Kennedy. It was Malcolm X’s answer, that the Presidents death was a case of “chickens coming home to roost” — that the violence that Kennedy had failed to stop had come back to him, this resulted in the Elijah Muhammad silencing him. Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam a short time later.
Jesus walked on the water
I know that it's true
But sometimes I think that preacherman
wants to do a little walking too.
Thank you, Charlie!
THank you for posting this.
Obama’s staying in that church, under that teaching, shows either lack of judgment; apathy (too lazy to find a better church); or that he was only there to network the church community.
None of that sounds good to me.
Always a pleasure to hear from Mr. Daniels!
I'll tell you how, Charlie...The people who would elect him do not care about a leader for the country, much less one who would uphold the Constitution. They want someone who will pay for their medical care, bail them out of their mortgage, and force the oil companies to make gas cheaper.
Leave this long-haired country boy alone....
