Let me spell it out for the libbies...

Barack Obama is a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

In 1982, the all black church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine, with Wright's daughters now serving as publisher and executive editor.

Last year, Rev. Wright's magazine gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan.

Mr. Farrakhan epitomizes racism, and anti-Semitism. He has compiled an awesome record of offensive statements, even denigrating the Holocaust by falsely attributing it to Jewish cooperation with Hitler. His whites are 'blue eyed devils' quote is quite famous.

I sincerely doubt that Kerry would stop military efforts to keep our troops safe in an effort to win the election. Bush, on the other hand has suspended all major military action until after Nov. 2. What a putz. What a nincompoop. Anyone who would vote for this sorry excuse for a leader is greviously mistaken. He has absolutely nothing to offer America except debt and stupidity. I can't wait to revel in the victory of the Democratic party on Nov. 2. It's gonna be Kerry in a blow out. Hopefully, that will include burning Bush at the stake! Then, we can get on with building up this country again instead of burying it in a increasingly deeper hole of corporate greed, sham wars and an endless onslaught of government failures at the hands of a man who should be a pool sweeper.

I obviously had bigger hopes in the intelligence of the general populous. I learned a hard lesson: the majority of Americans are stupid (and fat). As a result of this stupidity, we got four* more of President Incompetent.

You're right. I'm not willing to predict anything anymore, especially with regard to the way in which this country votes.

Obama's spiritual mentor
Powerhouse Chicago preacher draws attention, and plenty of controversy

By Michael Hill | Sun Reporter
January 16, 2008

CHICAGO - The packed house at Trinity United - some 3,000 in all - had been in the pews for almost two hours, energized by a 200-voice choir and a rousing dance performance Sunday, when the Rev. Jeremiah Wright stepped up to speak.

Wright is well-known in Chicago and in the black church world for taking over a small United Church of Christ congregation in 1972 and turning it into an 8,000-member powerhouse. More recently, his name has become familiar as the longtime spiritual mentor of Barack Obama, who joined the church in 1988 - a move Obama says was important to shaping his identity as an African-American.

The connection has thrown a spotlight on some of Wright's more controversial remarks in a church that advertises itself as "unashamedly Black and unapologetically Christian" - at times espousing a black liberation theology that can sound as exclusionary as Obama's message is inclusionary. He has also equated Zionism with racism.

On Sunday morning - amid intensified crossfire between Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Obama over the use of race in the Democratic presidential campaign - Wright was preaching from the Gospel of John, using his powerful style to link the story of the loaves and fishes to a contemporary political message.

Man should not put limits on what God can do, but that's what people always do, he told the crowd. Just as God made five loaves and two fishes feed thousands, God has provided liberators for blacks in the past - from Nat Turner to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and now Barack Obama. But, Wright said, there were always reasons not to follow them.

Some argue that blacks should vote for Clinton "because her husband was good to us," he continued.

"That's not true," he thundered. "He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky."
Many in the crowd were on their feet, applauding - amazed, amused and moved by the fiery rhetoric of their preacher, who is about to retire.

........snip.......

Just yesterday, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen noted that a magazine associated with Trinity United once named Louis Farrakhan as its person of the year, praising the Nation of Islam leader. Cohen called on Obama to denounce such praise of Farrakhan, known for statements deemed anti-Semitic.

.............snip............

As in the past, Obama did not completely denounce Wright. The candidate's 1995 book Dreams From My Father depicts Obama's decision to join Trinity United as a fundamental step in affirming his identity as an African-American. Obama's mother was white, he was raised in large part by her parents and he spent much of his youth in Indonesia with his mother's second husband. He only met his father, a Kenyan, once.

.......snip.......

Dwight Hopkins, a professor in the divinity school at the University of Chicago who is a member of Trinity United, was not surprised by Wright's comments about the Clinton administration on Sunday.

Bill Clinton, he said, may have been from the South and appointed blacks to his Cabinet and opened an office later in Harlem, "but if you really look at the policies he backed, many were worse for blacks than those of the pre-civil rights days."

.........snip.........

If Wright's rhetoric costs Obama some votes, others believe that would be more than offset by voters moved by Obama's ability to bring religion back into the liberal political message.

............snip............

On Sunday, Wright seemed incensed over a column by avowed atheist Christopher Hitchens that had run the day before in the Chicago Sun-Times. Hitchens decried Obama for giving "his allegiance to a crackpot church with a decidedly ethnic character."

........snip......

Wright, who is about to retire, took over Trinity United in 1972. It was an odd black congregation, since the United Church of Christ is a mainly white denomination, predominantly in New England, that traces its ancestry back to the Puritans. Over the years, it developed a liberal reputation based in part on the independence of its individual churches.

It doesn't occur to him that they might have developed a liberal reputation for not believing the bible is the Word of God?? My church established it's independence from the other church's decades ago, but it's considered conservative. Foolish nonsense from these guys.

It interests me that some authors of various portions of the Bible weren't even born until several hundred years after the event they were describing took place...according to retired Bishop John Spong in several of his books.
