Back in May, when the furor over Jeremiah Wright threatened to derail the Obama campaign, the candidate mournfully explained his decision to leave the controversial Trinity United Church of Christ. "We don't want to have to answer for everything that's stated in a church," Obama said. "On the other hand, we don't want to have a church subjected to the scrutiny that a presidential campaign legitimately undergoes." After Obama parted from Wright, the preacher and Trinity United became the campaign issue that dared not speak its name.

You have heard that it was said, "God bless America." But I say unto you, Pray for all of the Osama bin Ladens and the Saddam Husseins. . . . I say unto you, Be kind, be as kind to Castro as you are to the Saudi family and the leaders of China and Russia. This, however, is difficult in a society . . . when we are afflicted or infected with hubris. It's almost an incurable disease--incurable not because of despair, but because of arrogance.

BTW....what "church" is Obama and his family attending now? There has been no word of them ever attending any service either during the campaign or since being in the White House. Obama claims to be a Christian...but no Sunday attendance by him or his family has been heard about that I can recall.
And I wonder...what is going to happen at Christmas? I remember reading that the Obamas do not celebrate Christmas or exchange gifts. Will there be a White House Christmas tree decorated with a theme and decorations from all over the country as in the past? Or one on the White House lawn that he will light up as other Presidents have? Or will he "change" those traditions too?

That is going to be very interesting. I know he’s a Muslim. Wright’s Trinity had several Muslims.

By tapping the likes of Moss to help steer his faith-based policies, Obama could be using the White House to "translate the energy" of black churches into "creating lasting institutions" of left-wing political agitation. A look at the other members of the advisory council certainly supports this interpretation. Vashti McKenzie is another proponent of black liberation theology, and another friend and defender of Jeremiah Wright who has preached at Trinity United. Jim Wallis also publicly supported Wright and has even been an inspiration to the reverend. In his National Press Club speech, Wright quoted Wallis as saying "America's sin of racism has never even been confessed, much less repented for." In an earlier life, Wallis once said he hoped "more Christians will come to view the world through Marxist eyes." In recent years he has settled for working through congressional Democrats, helping them make their policies more palatable to people of faith. Wallis has been joined in that task by Rabbi David Saperstein--another prominent liberal and member of the new faith-based advisory council.The council looks like nothing so much as an attempt to build a powerful political grassroots network to advance the liberal causes dear to Obama's heart.

The kindest thing to do is take a 2X4, and beat some sense into them, while praying for them to see the Light...and right after converting to Christianity, to 'go to the light'.
Oh, how I miss The Church Militant!

Yep. That’s the gist everything he’s done. The re-making of America. I laugh at all his white groupies. They are so stupid.
