Obama's Church

Election 2008: Since we first drew attention to Barack Obama's Afrocentric church a full 12 months ago, other media have weighed in. And additional disturbing information has come to light. At the core of the Democratic front-runner's faith — whether lapsed Muslim, new Christian or some mixture of the two — is African nativism, which raises political issues of its own.

In 1991, when Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, he pledged allegiance to something called the Black Value System, which is a code of non-Biblical ethics written by blacks, for blacks. Wright makes the Rev. Jesse Jackson look almost moderate and patriotic. Yet this is whom Obama picked to baptize his daughters, plus to act as his "sounding board" during his presidential run.

The candidate already has heeded his church's "nonnegotiable commitment to Africa," spending an inordinate amount of his campaign time on the Kenyan crisis, for one. Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village — the Senator Obama School.

In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama's late Muslim father belonged.

Obama's older brother still lives there. Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.

Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country.

“How can this be breaking news when it’s from January 15th?”

Caught your eye, didn’t it?

Mine, too.

What I don’t get is why people he threw under he bus because they outlived their immediate function of Highlighting His Greatness and Beneficence can still have hope, after a period of years, that such a smarmy, self absorbed con artist might still come through for them.

“Where are the Rev Wright ads? I thought everyone had heard of him by now and his “GD America”.

Let's see an avalanche of Rev. Wright and Obamas “friends” hit the airwaves!!! Pictures and verbiages of Wrights sermons of hatred! GET this out there McCain camp.....daily....show an image of these white hating radicals IN OUR White House and then see how many voters will vote for Obama. WE need to continually remind the voters of Obama’s friends that hate us!!!

[publiusF27]

Yeah, he’s a garden variety communist.

That's only half right. You're right that he's a communist, but he's a religious one, and his religion is Black Liberation Theology. It's racism wrapped in a pretty Christian package.

Obama threw Rev Wright out a couple of decades too late to make the claim that he did not know the theology of his own church.

Not to worry, Rush has said the tapes are lined up and ready for October. He doesn’t want to start too early, given peoples short retention spans.

I keep hearing about the O-Bomb being married at Trinity and his daughters being baptized there, but what about the great one himself? Was he Baptized? If not, wouldn’t he still be muslim?

bttt

Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country.

If Barack Hussein Obama is ideed in bed with this guy you can list this as one more reason why Obama did not choose Hillary as a running mate. And...why he may be encouraging his surrogates to trash Sarah Palin on every front.

[sageb1]

This shouldn’t be in breaking news.

[rom]

Even in that picture with his family(?), he looks like a snob. He thinks he’s better than everyone. Pathetic.

Ok, I feel better already! I would LOVE to see more of Rev. Wright come out or Ayers...or Farrakhan connection, Father Phleger.....now before the tightening of this race...as from polling 85-86% of voters said they will not change their vote....BUT, will take what is coming. There is plenty, plenty of BAD STUFF, scary stuff on O...and I welcome the chickens coming home to roost!!!

As for Obamas baptizing. I doubt people of different religions really care or if there is sufficient evidence that he was not baptized. What he did in Kenya for the muslim backed election candidate and the fact both of his fathers, step father and father were MUSLIMS...and influenced him is enough to scare the dickins out of us...and should be constantly thrown on the voters. THERE is plenty of truths that need to be revealed, hammered on and reminded of voters on this guy.

[jackv]

Has anyone directly asked him what he meant when he said...”If the political winds take an ugly turn I will side with the Muslims.”?
I know he was talking to Pakistanis at the time, so just what did he mean by that??
Anyone????

[Joann37]

Wait a minute - didn’t I just see this on Meet the Press?

NOT!

[ecomcon]

He meant that if there was persecution (in the aftermath of 9/11) he would protect the muslims.

Presumably

I believe it TA3 since I also have anecdotal evidence to support the same point.
Neighbors who are good americans but not too political were planning on sitting this election out because “they both suck”, to quote them yesterday.
Today, he is passing around the YouTube of “Nah,nah,nah, GD America, that’s in the bible for killing innocent people....” as well as the National Anthem where Barack refuses to salute the flag.
This got your average voter very fired up and I will cease arguing points in favor of Youtube doing it for me.
Here is all it took:

We do know that 50% of Americans seem not to care whether the Messiah is a socialist pacifist. This election will be decided by the debates and whether Indies and Reagan Dems realize what an incompetent this guy would be with economic issues and foreign policy. It is issues that will defeat him not race, if he is defeated and that is not for sure as of now.

If history serves me correctly, don’t “dictators” have statues, monuments and buildings named after them? tito, stalin, lenin, castro, hitler, mussolini, mao, etc... now obama?

I’m coming around to the theory that it was Ayers who actually ghost-wrote “Dreams From my Father”. I don’t have the skills of a forensic literary analysis and I haven’t had the time to go over “Fugitive Days” but I’ve read the Cashill article that says the styles are similar.

This could be laid to rest easily but for the fact that Obama has written nothing, absolutely nothing else over his career. Which is absolutely bizarre for a former president of the Harvard Law Review (it’s actually “president”, according to the Law Review website, the student editors number about 43 and they elect a president from among themselves) and a junior constitutional law lecturer Chicago University.

It is now known that they almost certainly knew each other as far back as Obama’s Columbia University days in the early eighties.
