His long time association and reverence for the reverend indicate that he went to that church because he liked and adhered to what was taught there. This guy married him, baptized his kids. He took his kids to that trough to be "spiritually" fed. (Seems more like to be indoctrinated to me).
What Obama is trying unsuccessfully to do is actually to distance himself from himself...and that will not wash.
This preacher is not only disgusting in his rhetoric and hate, he is a studied and ardent teacher of black liberation theology, which, IMHO, is a perversion of christianity, far removed from the gospel of love and peace that Jesus Chrisat taught.
It is one thing for a professed christian to do bad things and act in a way that is not in conformance with Christ's teachings. Such a person should repent and reform themselves through the blood and atonement of Jesus Christ.
It is quite another thing when the very gospel Christ taught is twisted and manipulated into a thing of hate and then spewed from the pulpit, infecting the minds and lives of thousands and influencing them to then act in ways not in conformance with Christ's teachings...and having them do so with no feeling or thought of repenting from acting worng because they have been taught that it is right.
Thus Obama's wife's comments about her lack of pride in America and America being a mean place. Thus Obama's own feelings about the flag, patriotism, and the national anthem. All of it begins to fall into place.
That is what this hate whitey, hate America, theology does and is all about...and Obama wants to take it right into the White House.
Obama's grandmother to be charged with hate crime?
Senator Obama mulling options
As more is revealed about censored censored Obama and as he continues to speak out about the past (present, and bleak future if white America does not change) the more I believe that the grandmother just maybe will do time for the crime.
His 20 years of continued attendance at Wrights’s “sermons,” without in any manner disavowing them, is A TACIT AFFIRMATION AND ENDORSEMENT of Wright's words and philosophy.
These included the most hateful, vile, and slanderous attacks upon America, its people, its history (even including the Civil War - a true war of liberation), and assuredly its armed forces.
Hundreds of thousands of U. S. servicemen have lost their lives in safeguarding this nation - and providing the liberty, security and freedom that makes possible even the rants of people like Wright.
Obama has not disqualified himself from being a Senator or other member of the government.
But he has imminently removed himself from consideration as Commander-in-Chief.
Excellent! You should put this under extended news or editorial. It deserves to be read by EVERYONE!
