Just when you thought the progressive left couldn’t sink any lower in their relentless quest to redefine Christianity, along comes the National Bimbo™’s pastor, Amos Brown. In his latest “sermon”—if you can even call it that—this self-appointed sage of San Francisco rewrites the Bible to convince us that Jesus’ pick for U.S. president is their “dear member,” Kamala Harris. We all know that the fruits of the Spirit, as stated in Galatians 5:22-23, are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But according to Rev. Brown, we need to add “justice” to that list. But we all...

San Francisco officials have a moral obligation to try and stop black residents from abandoning the city and should consider a local version of the Marshall Plan to help African Americans, the Rev.

The Rev. Amos Brown, who heads Third Baptist Church -- an African American landmark in San Francisco -- lambasted Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger two years ago as part of "the national axis of evil" and charged that President Bush was "his partner in crime."

Brown's comments, which appeared in an official Schwarzenegger campaign press release, also praised the governor for addressing prison reform and small-business development. The shift, some political observers say, could...
