What does change mean to Barack Hussein Obama? It means accelerating Slanted Left social engineering internally and sticking their head in the sand externally. Think of how much worse it could be if Hillary succeeds in talking her despised fellow Democrat into the “dream ticket” run for the White House in 2008.
The extreme Black Power Leftist politically married to only a slightly less minuscular Lefty in Hillary would perpetuate and increase the social engineering in America in such things as a Christian Minister preaching from the Bible that homosexuality is sin would be a bigoted hate crime.
GW has sought out Arab consensus against Iran as a last choice to confront a nuking Iran because the Leftists or anti-American governments do not have the cajones to face oil rich and radical Islamic terrorist Iran. Obama’s world view would make negotiating with rogues, murdering terrorists and exporters of Islamist hatred his primary choice rather than the last choice. Obama would be in agreement of appeasement with Leftists in Europe and America. Gosh! Does it sound like Neville Chamberlain at the Munich Accords making a deal with a devil that had no intention whatsoever to keep the Accords? Kind of sounds like Ahmadinejad and Iran diplomacy stalling for more and more time to reach some kind of appalling goal – WMD. Indeed deception or the impossible “all or nothing” attitude seems to the primary negotiation tool of most of the Islamic Middle East. Does Obama believe he can make a deal with Islamist liars?
David Limbaugh has written a column that the McCain is boning up on the character and the friendships of Barack Hussein Obama to allow the real Obama to be seen by the American public before they make a choice for President in November 2008. Limbaugh has some excellent insight on the real Obama – YOU should read it.

Have you noticed that the Mainstream Media (MSM), Democrats and Republicans are predicting Jeremiah Wright’s racism against Whites, friendship with anti-Semitic Farrakhan and the promotion of the Black Liberation Theology will have little effect on Barack Hussein Obama’s Campaign if he should win the Democratic Nomination for President?
It must be a Politically Correct think for those three groups to agree on the effect of Wright.
I am here to tell you that Black Liberation Theology (BLT) alone not just Wright’s deviant Black Supremacist/Victimhood stance should affect how Americans vote if Obama should win the Democratic nomination.
Proponents of BLT have said the theology stems from the concern Jesus Christ had for the poor and downtrodden. Critics have viewed BLT as Black Supremacism disguised with the word “Christianity”. BLT is more akin to Marxism and the Black Power movements (such as the Black Panthers or Nation of Islam). BLT criticizes the White Man for all the ills the Black Man’s past history and present circumstances, utilizing facts to distort the impact on Blacks is a huge exaggeration of BLT.
Rev. Rob Schenck was on Hannity’s America show discussing Jeremiah Wright’s embracing of BLT. Schenck made it clear that BLT is very close to the Liberation Theology of Latin America which was overtly pro-Marxist (supporting Latin American Communists), Anti-Catholic and Anti-American.

WHY WE’RE CONCERNED ABOUT WRIGHT AND HIS THEOLOGY
By Rev. Rob Schenck
05/05/08 2008
Faith And Action
Some have asked why I’m spending any time at all on the subject of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and why Faith and Action is offering coverage of him. The essay below explains my reasoning.
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, long-time pastor to presidential candidate Barack Obama, has burst on the scene like a mighty explosion. At this time two years ago he was virtually unknown outside a narrow subset of liberal white and extraordinarily socially activist black churches. It goes without saying Wright’s recent notoriety is inseparably linked to the nearly equal explosion of Obama’s fame. While politically and perhaps even personally uncomfortable for the candidate, Wright and Obama were a duo in their launch. Now, though, Wright occupies significant space of his own on the national stage and that space is all about his peculiar brand of theology. The reason this is of great concern to me and to our ministry is because of the new force behind its corrupting influence in both the church and society at large.
Until now, so-called “black liberation theology” (“BLT”) was an obscure, even arcane school of thought within the black church. Very few African-Americans embraced it. Professor James Cone of New York’s Union Theological Seminary, basically the progenitor of BLT, enjoyed limited notoriety, almost entirely within racially controversial academic circles. The emergence of Obama as a social movement icon, and his deep association with a popular black liberationist, has changed all of this. Cone refers to Wright and his Trinity United Church of Christ (still Obama’s congregation of membership) as the best examples of BLT in action.
As long as Obama remains a political and social force, Wright’s and Trinity’s theology will only gain in interest and popularity. Should Obama win the White House in November, the currency of Wright, Cone and BLT will jump exponentially. There’s nothing like the U.S. presidency to propel even the most obscure religious personalities and practices into the main stream of American life. Until Jimmy Carter, “born again” was a little-known phrase and faith healers, like his sister, Ruth Carter Stapleton, almost completely invisible outside a tiny minority of Pentecostal and charismatic churches. It was Ronald Reagan’s presidency that would give “evangelicals” and Jerry Falwell a permanent place on the American political landscape. An Obama presidency will do the same for black liberation theology and Jeremiah Wright. Nearly as much has already been accomplished by the Obama candidacy.
Fame is itself an irresistibly seductive force. Both BLT and Wright now have plenty of fame compliments of the Obama family’s membership at Trinity United Church of Christ. This alone will result in more preachers and churches embracing this dangerous heresy. Wright’s and BLT’s spiritual poison is reason enough for us to remain concerned with it. The continuing intersection between BLT, Wright and American politics makes that concern even graver. An Obama White House will make BLT a true force in American religious and public life. The cornerstone of BLT philosophy is radical social change. Unless society is forced to make those radical changes, there is no salvation.
Whether or not Barack Obama is elected president this November, we will continue to track black liberation theology and its proponents. We will continue to expose the flawed roots and elements of this misconception of God. Even more so, we will examine the bitter fruit of liberationist theory over its history in the U.S. and around the world. More positively, we will continue to showcase those African-American voices and others who are courageous enough to go up against this religious juggernaut and risk being characterized as self-loathing or bigoted.
Jeremiah Wright, James Cone and other liberation apologists have cast themselves as “prophets.” The Bible says, “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.” (1 Corinthians 14:29) We will continue to put this stuff out there so you and others can judge for yourselves whether it comports with what you believe, what the church teaches and what America should practice.
Watch for our continued examination of Jeremiah Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ (and its parent denomination) and black liberation theology here at www.faithandaction.org and at our companion site for the National Clergy Council,www.nationalclergycouncil.org.

If you are a Republican you have to love the self-destruction that occurring in the Democratic Party.
In case you have not been reading or watching the news, Jeremiah – Whitey oppresses Blackie – Wright has been in the news mouthing off racism against White people and further embarrassing his prodigy Barack Hussein Obama in the process.
So what is about Jeremiah Wright that works his point of view of society in America? It is the ideology of Black Liberation Theology.
What is “Black Liberation Theology?”
Liberation Theology is an attempt to interpret Scripture through the plight of the poor. It is largely a humanistic doctrine. It started in South America in the turbulent 1950's when Marxism was making great gains among the poor because of its emphasis on the redistribution of wealth, allowing poor peasants to share in the wealth of the colonial elite and thus upgrade their economic status in life.
…
Liberation Theology has moved from the poor peasants in South America to the poor blacks in America. We now have Black Liberation Theology being preached in the black community. It is the same Marxist, revolutionary, humanistic philosophy found in South American Liberation Theology and has no more claim for a scriptural basis than the South American model has. False doctrine is still false, no matter how it is dressed up or what fancy name is attached to it. In the same way that revolutionary fervor was stirred up in South America, Liberation Theology is now trying to stir up revolutionary fervor among Blacks in America. If the church in America recognizes the falseness of Black Liberation Theology as the Catholic Church did in the South American model, Black Liberation Theology will suffer the same fate that the South America Liberation Theology did, namely it will be seen to be the false doctrine of a humanist viewpoint dressed up in theological terms. (Excerpts from GotQuestions.org)
This is the definition I favor; however I am a Caucasian so let’s look at a pro-Black Liberation Theology definition.
The Rev. James Cone is the founder of black liberation theology. In an interview with Terry Gross, Cone explains the movement, which has roots in 1960s civil-rights activism and draws inspiration from both the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, as "mainly a theology that sees God as concerned with the poor and the weak."
…
Cone explains that at the core of black liberation theology is an effort — in a white-dominated society, in which black has been defined as evil — to make the gospel relevant to the life and struggles of American blacks, and to help black people learn to love themselves. It's an attempt, he says "to teach people how to be both unapologetically black and Christian at the same time." (Excerpts from NPR March 31, 2008)
Note the pro-Black Liberation Theology definition leaves out any references to humanism or Marxism in any form of specificity. Nonetheless look at words that should send up red flags in your brain: Inspired by a combination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X; concern for the poor and weak; white-dominated society; help Black people to “love themselves.”
The pro definition has all the words that are endearing to Secular Humanists, Communists and Black Power (racist revolutionists) disguised in the wrapping paper of Christianity. In other words Black Liberation Theology is a bill of goods being sold to African-Americans should be stamped Buyer Beware.
Ed Decker’s Saints Alive website has an April E-newsletter of which one article deals with Black Liberation Theology by Anthony B. Bradley. It is a good read.
