THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Now here's a true believer. He really cares about his spirituality /s/
"With his head bowed, the younger Brazier said as worshipers joined hands, “We ask that you give him great wisdom, knowledge, power and understanding. We pray that you give him the mind of Christ, so that when he speaks, demons will tremble, mountains will be removed, and when the firing guards of the enemy are flung his way, that the prayers of the saved protect him and let the world know that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.”
Wait, sounds like an endorsement to me...Aren't the churches not allowed to do that? Shouldn't this one lose its tax-shelter benefits?
***Longtime church leader Bishop Arthur Brazier greeted his “good friend” warmly and touchingly noted, “[Obama] has done something [in] this country that I never thought I would live to see.”***
They’re always “good friends.”
I’ll bet the Obama’s missed the all hate America stuff they used to hear every Sunday.
If he had stayed for the entire service, I might have thought he really meant to look at this chucrch for attendance...but he was in and out and the quotes and photos are what he was after.
So, was the family with him on this “drive by” visit?
Surprise, surprise.
That way he can deny having heard whatever was said from the pulpit.
“Left before the sermon” now qualifies as “going to church”. School kids should capitalize on this new English...
Ping
What is he doing in a real church, anyway? Must have been pretty boring without the radical, racist, anti-American rant and screaming of the fine Rev. Wright....maybe he had a prayer rug out in the car!!
“The senator left the sanctuary before the actual sermon to be delivered by Bishop Brazier’s son Byron Brazier and didn’t get a chance to hear Apostolic’s prayer for him.”
Photo op, wasn’t it?
Lowlife, dirtbag Mr “Screw Whitey” Obama-Osama & Mrs “America Is Mean” Skank’s, Sunday photo op.
Sickening, lowlife, racist, bigoted socialist scum, IMO.
Obama and his handlers simply don’t get it, so I’m going to do them the favor of spelling it out to them, here and now.
I don’t give a flying fiddler’s damn about Obama’s color. I truly don’t. Stop crowing about what a new era it is, etc.....who gives a s**t?
What matters is the man’s qualifications; his experience; his views, his commitments. Where does he stand in his views as viewed through the lens of that annoying little document called The Constitution of the United States and through Christianity?
Nothing......NOTHING........else matters.
From all that I’ve seen and heard, Obama fails miserably in all these areas. I mean through the floor and into the sewer miserably.
So......Black America.......you really that set on having a black President? I mean, it reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaally means that much to you??
Then how about actually fielding a candidate who loves America, has demonstrable Christian faith and principles (we’re founded on ‘em; deal with it, people), and is dedicated to the principles of the Constitution.
If you can’t do that, STFU.
Momma, how long until the preacher goes off on whitey?
So Obama was to busy to hear a word from the Word? Isn’t that one of the reasons FOR a church? Hey Barry, it’s not about you, its about Jesus.
The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine

[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]
(some key excerpts)
JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.
I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."
REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."
SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We are happy today to be standing side by side with the Nation of Islam. We believe, like the Nation of Islam and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad believe, in a nation of our own. We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology. We don’t worry about the criticism. We love all of those who labored in the Panther Party from the ’60s. Many are with us today."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
excerpt...
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

What the heck did he go to church for if he wasn’t going to stay for the sermon?

Brazier, Activist Pastor, Stepping Down
CHICAGO — Bishop Arthur Brazier has long been a spiritual shepherd with political clout. His 20,000-member Apostolic Church of God at E. 63rd and Dorchester in Woodlawn is a center of power on the South Side.
Now, after 48 years in the pulpit, the 86-year-old civil rights activist, mayoral ally and founding president of The Woodlawn Organization will deliver his final sermons as pastor today. He plans to remain a visible presence.
Brazier’s church has been a key stop for politicians.
Its community redevelopment arm, the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Co., also has acquired city property at little cost on which it has built low- and mixed-income housing.
“The African-American church is a very powerful institution,” said the bishop, who is a Sen. Barack Obama booster.
******
The Woodlawn Organization (T.W.O.) is a not-for-profit community-based organization that consists of an alliance of block clubs, churches, tenant councils and other civic and institutional entities organized for the sole purpose of building a viable and healthy community.
T.W.O. provides many social service programs that ensure that the citizens of Woodlawn receive a fair chance for better health care, illness prevention, fair housing and equal employment opportunities.
Founded in 1960, T.W.O.’s mission is to build community through advocacy, social service programs and community development initiatives.
Founded in 1972, the Woodlawn Community Development Corporation (WCDC) was created to serve as the umbrella for T.W.O.’s real estate development and management activities. Over the years, WCDC has developed more than 1,659 units of single family and senior housing in fourteen different developments. In so doing, WCDC has created site, phasing, and financial plans, determined unit mixes and worked extensively with government subsidy programs.
******
Voter Education:
Stay informed about campaign issues!
In the past, we have seriously rallied to get our community members registered to vote. Each election year, we recruit 200+ volunteers to go through the community on a door-by-door basis, making sure that people are registered to vote and that they are aware of their correct polling place.
******
Throughout the early 1960s, T.W.O. mobilized Woodlawn’s residents. They pressured merchants, landlords and city bureaucrats to respond to their demands for positive change.
By picketing and threatening boycotts against local stores, residents fought back against inflated prices and inferior products. By demonstrating in front of the suburban homes of their absentee landlords, they forced building homeowners to make basic repairs. These small victories were important because they proved that people with low incomes could gain power through collective action. The significance of this process became apparent years later when oppressed urban neighborhoods erupted into violent civil disorder during the summer of 1967.
The residents of Woodlawn did not feel compelled to express their frustrations through urban rebellion. As Reverend Dr. Leon Finney, Jr., T.W.O.’s second executive director and current chairman, observes, “We had no riots because we had already developed a legitimate means of redressing our grievances. The people trusted that vehicle and the idea of T.W.O.”
and when the firing guards of the enemy are flung his way, that the prayers of the saved protect him and let the world know that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.
I've never heard the expression "firing guards of the enemy are flung." I've read the Bible several times but I don't recall ever seeing that in Scripture. Is that Biblical, or is that more of the black church doctrine? Until that video surficed of Rev Wright, I never knew there was a separate black church doctrine.
