Barack's Pastoral Albatross: "G-- D--- America!"

Stick a fork in Obama, he's done (or should be). His intimate 20 year association with Trinity Church of Christ's Pastor Jeremiah Wright, including his journey to Christianity, his marriage and the baptism of his children, cannot be explained away with a simple declaration of repudiation.

Yes this is guilt by association, and don't even begin to go there. Senator Obama is trapped in a "Catch 22" of his own and the Democrat Party's making. The Democrat Party has been using "guilt by association" as their bread and butter issue for years and years.

Remember Trent Lott and his simple effort to compliment his long time friend and colleague, the late Senator Strom Thurman? Remember Senator George Allen's "macaca moment?" What about Bob Jones University? Democrats in Congress wanted to pass a bill condemning Bob Jones University following Presidential Candidate Bush's 2000 visit there, for there stand on inter-racial dating.

For Democrats now to bridle at Conservatives,' and for that matter, the Clinton Campaign's use of "guilt by association" is the absolute height of hypocrisy and it ain't gonna fly. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Barack's long association with Pastor Wright is his albatross. This issue ain't gonna be going away anytime soon. Barack Obama should be and hopefully is, finished as a presidential candidate.

His support of and adherence to his reverend and mentor, Jeremiah Wright, Jr., raises questions about his judgment and leads one to wonder how a man, whose own mother was white, could be so strongly attracted to a pastor who regularly preached hatred of "white America." Interesting insight into the mind of a man who is, half-white. Is this self-hatred illustrative of his inner demons?

Tapes and video of Pastor Jeramiah Wright, Jr., saying that 9-11 was a "wake-up call for white America." So I guess there were no black-Americans killed in the 9/11 attack.

But that is just touching the surface of this purveyor of hatred that Barack Obama described as the man who led him to Christianity.

From the New York Times comes this article:

"A Candidate, His Minister and the Search for Faith"

...Mr. Wright recalled his first encounters with Mr. Obama in the late 1980s, when the future senator was organizing Chicago neighborhoods. Though minister after minister told Mr. Obama he would be more credible if he joined a church, he was not a believer.

“I remained a reluctant skeptic, doubtful of my own motives, wary of expedient conversion, having too many quarrels with God to accept a salvation too easily won,” he wrote in his first book, “Dreams From My Father.”

------------snip-------------

Audacity and Hope

It was a 1988 sermon called “The Audacity to Hope” that turned Mr. Obama, in his late 20s, from spiritual outsider to enthusiastic churchgoer. Mr. Wright in the sermon jumped from 19th-century art to his own youthful brushes with crime and Islam to illustrate faith’s power to inspire underdogs. Mr. Obama was seeing the same thing in public housing projects where poor residents sustained themselves through sheer belief.

In “Dreams From My Father,” Mr. Obama described his teary-eyed reaction to the minister’s words. “Inside the thousands of churches across the city, I imagined the stories of ordinary black people merging with the stories of David and Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh, the Christians in the lion’s den, Ezekiel’s field of dry bones,” Mr. Obama wrote. “Those stories — of survival, and freedom, and hope — became our story, my story.”

Mr. Obama was baptized that year, and joining Trinity helped him “embrace the African-American community in a way that was whole and profound,” said Ms. Soetoro, his half sister.

It also helped give him spiritual bona fides and a new assurance. Services at Trinity were a weekly master class in how to move an audience. When Mr. Obama arrived at Harvard Law School later that year, where he fortified himself with recordings of Mr. Wright’s sermons, he was delivering stirring speeches as a student leader in the classic oratorical style of the black church.

[Emphasis added]Interesting. It would seem that from these statements Obama's desire to be Christian had more to do with getting "his bona fides" than his search for a closer relationship with God.

Here are some more words of "compassion" and clear Biblical teaching from this black separatist pastor from the ABC News Brian Ross Investigative Team report, Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11:

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.""We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.

“Fact number one: We’ve got more black men in prison than there are in college.

"Fact number two: Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run.

"We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional killers. ... We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. ... We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. ... We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means.

"And ... And ... And! God! Has got! To be sick! Of this shit!"

Truly a loving compassionate Christian teaching his flock from the Bible how to forgive, love, and care for his fellow man...NOT!!!

I've heard this kind of hatred coming from the mouths of KKK members in the 1940's and 50's, I'v heard it from Adolph Hitler, I've heard it from Louis Farakan of the Nation of Islam, and I've heard it from Malik Zulu Shabazz and Quanell X of the New Black Panthers, but I never heard it from Martin Luther King. I've never heard anything like it coming from the pulpit of a house of God that I ever attended.

Barack Hussein Obama is 46 years old and he has been an active member in this very church for 20 years...almost half of his life...and he only now has become aware of how objectionable Pastor Wright's language is to the American people? Barack has been "deeply affected" by Pastor Wright, who he chose to conduct his wedding to Michelle, who he chose to baptize his children, who he selected as his spiritual advisor, and who even now, following his "retirement" from Trinity Church, is a consultant to Barack's campaign.

Sorry folks, repudiation won't work on this. This is a lifetime belief in and support of a man who blames "white America" for the attacks on 9/11. For Barack to repudiate this man is for Barack to repudiate his Christian beliefs, reawakening the specter of his being a Muslim.

In the eyes of the Muslims Barack is a Muslim, as is any man born to a Muslim.

So either Barack is an America hating, black separatist Christian, or he is a Muslim. This is one he cannot walk away from with a simple apology.

This is poor judgment and an evil philosophy to which he has been a party for two decades. No wonder Michelle found it so easy to say that "for the first time in my life I feel really proud to be an American." She really meant it.

If this is the Democrat nominee, have no doubt that as flawed as I find John McCain and his temperament, I will be casting my vote for him.

I would fight against a white racist running for the presidency as I am now going to fight against a black racist.

Of course it helps that Barack is also a hard core socialist who would take us backward to the failed ideals of the twentieth century and Karl Marx...but then so is Hillary.

No folks. The Republican party, as flawed as it is, is still the sane choice (even if it's being led by a marginally sane candidate like John McCain. At least he doesn't hate America.

Long Live Our American Republic !!!
