Coulter: Radical Loon When Obama Was Only 47


Ann Coulter uses her classic wit to denounce the Mainstream Media for looking the other way concerning a huge list of bad apples in Barack Hussein Obama’s cart while making mountains out of mole hills in Governor Sarah Palin’s backyard.

Sick’em Coulter!

Communists, Islamists, Spies and America



Barack Hussein Obama is the Democratic Party nominee for President in the November 4, 2008 election.

At best BHO’s past is an enigmatic history. Documentation and past associations are blurry enough for BHO to enter into the realm of plausible deniability.

McCain’s past is fairly well documented with only Leftist detractors’ vain attempts to spin a hero into a liar. Most of those detractors utilize hear say and ad hominem conclusions that are typically baseless of Leftists trying to lie to the public. You can take a stroll through the website Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain and tell it is a spin Left site rather than eyewitness accounts.

Compare VVAJM to John Kerry’s nemesis the Swift Vets (and now) and POW’s for Truth. You will note the Swift Vets have terminated adding new material for their cause against Kerry; however they are leaving the website up as an archive. You will notice most of the anti-Kerry stuff (though Leftists and some Conservatives say are error) is basically eyewitness accounts v. Official (and questionable) documents supporting John Kerry’s view of his action in Vietnam. Unfortunately documents carry more weight than eyewitness evaluation; however note that even to this day John Kerry has never sued the Swift Vets for defamation.

I found that rather strange since the Swift Vets were a huge factor in Kerry losing to President Bush in 2004. Voters received a perception that John Kerry was a person that lacked character to lead.

I doubt that McCain will sue (win or loose) the VVAJM because only gullible Leftists would even come close to believing this obvious valueless smear.

BHO's past is difficult to pin down because documentation is sketchy and eyewitnesses are from foreign lands (Kenya and
Indonesia) and radical associations in the USA (Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Michael Pfleger, American terrorists Bill Ayers And obviously honoring of other Marxists.)

BHO’s unverifiable denials of his suspicious past is a huge enigma that voters are delusionally looking past due promises of political change in Washington, DC. Most of America’s media is in BHO’s pocket (I am not suggesting money but rather admiration) to aid in backing the denials. If independent information slips through the cracks the BHO campaign and supporters are quick to accuse of racism to place the brakes on any tainting information.

This tactic of denial and lying to the public is standard fair for Marxist loving Leftists in America.




Recently there have been a number of scholarly works that exonerate Joseph McCarthy as being correct about Soviet spies in our midst. Most recently a comrade of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg confessed that he and they were in fact Soviet spies contrary to America’s Left portraying the Rosenberg’s as victims of governmental Red Scare despotism.

Ninety-one year old Morton Sobell did not confess to some right wing extremist who goaded the old boy for the information. Sobell’s confession was made in a New York Times interview shortly after the National Security Archive historians filed a civil suit for the release of Grand Jury testimony related to the Rosenbergs.

So here is the point.




Barack Hussein Obama from early childhood was exposed to both Islamist and Marxist thinking in combinations of living in Kenya. A nation in which people tend to have more tribal loyalties than national loyalties and Barack Hussein Obama SR. was a Muslim with part time Marxist designs for Kenya. The same family tribe is the backbone of Islamist murderer Odinga who claims to be a cousin.

I cannot write about the Indonesia associations for the part of BHO’s life is fuzzy enough that the actual truth cannot be grasped.

BHO’s political career was backed by Marxist American terrorist turned professor Bill Ayers including the Marxist underpinnings of Black Liberation Theology and Farrakhan’s Islamic Supremacist Nation Islam.

I heard BHO on an O’Reilly interview that one cannot judge him by his associations.

Huh?

Dear God in Heaven, I am going to judge him by his past associations. The man is a Leftist Marxist Progressive Christian (Progressive means only accepting the parts of the Bible that can be exploited by Leftist thinking).

It all boils down to this: Leftists lie. Leftist history shows that statement to be true.

‘Michael Savage discusses Pastor Rod Parsley's comments’



Michael Savage explains why there is NO comparison between racist, America-hating and Black Supremacist Jeremiah Wright and Christian Right, Love-America and Christian Moral Standard believing Rod Parsley.

At the very end Savage is caught with a snippet against McCain strategy to be Green on Global Warming.

I am pretty far to the Right on many issues and yet most of the time I find Savage’s Right Wing Talk Radio a bit harsh. In the case of this audio clip though, I have to agree with Savage.

Rod Parsley recognizes that Mohammedanism is a threat to not only Christianity but is inherently evil compared to the Freedom and Liberty of the American Constitution. In this audio clip Parsley also demonstrates the knowledge that depravity such as homosexuality is a moral blight that Secular Humanist Leftists and the Homosexual Agenda is trying to infect America. These are laudable American stands.

Then there is the ilk like Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan which hate America and White people with an extreme Black Racist Superiority complex. Those two Black racists utilize the propaganda of past evils of victimhood to tell African Americans they are superior to non-African Americans (usually Whites). This kind of instilling of hatred produces division in the present not the E Pluribus Unum (Out of the many, ONE) America was precariously founded on. Certainly African Americans received a historical raw deal at the hands of White and Mohammedan slave traders; nonetheless history has moved on and African Americans have progressed from the hypocrisy of White Slave owners, past segregation and acceptance by former White oppressors as political equals.

Yet African Americans such as Wright and Farrakhan preach hate abandoning the unifying vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama comes from the Wright and Farrakhan heritage of Left Wing African hate rather than the unifying principles of Martin Luther King, Jr. who preached non-hatred to bridge the gap between oppressors and former slaves.

Obama is dangerous for America.

McCain is not my first choice to represent the interests of Conservative Christian morality because of his mixed bag of political views that range from slightly Left, to Centrist and to slightly Right of Center. Nonetheless, McCain looks like a true Conservative compared to how fringe Left and potentially a fellow perpetuator of African American victimhood.

Listen to What I Say, Not What I Do


The Mainstream Media (MSM) is all in a blather (and so also Barack Hussein Obama) over a comment manipulated by the MSM of John McCain.

If you have not heard, the MSM is painting a picture that McCain said Hamas endorses Obama for President. Obama has tried to exploit this sound byte by being outraged that his Campaign receives the endorsement of the Murdering Muslim terrorist organization known as Hamas.

The reality is McCain was quoting a Hamas spokesman who indeed said Hamas preferred Obama over McCain for President of the United States.

Of course the Obama Campaign is going to reject such support as he has – uh – rejected and denounced racist Jeremiah Wright who Obama claims was his mentor and Pastor for over TWENTY YEARS. It would be political suicide to openly even hint publicly that Hamas has a case for destroying Jews and Israel off the planet earth.

After
twenty years of association with Jeremiah Wright and a former association of Jew hating Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam I wonder what Obama privately believes.

Anyway, McCain’s point should be noticed. There must be a reason why Hamas fears a McCain Presidency and embraces an Obama Presidency.

Keep that in the back of your mind as you read this report from WorldNetDaily.com.

Obama's Marxist Axis Of Friends


Barack Hussein Obama’s Campaign slogan is “Change.”

He has enamored the youth of America with a slogan that sounds good but it is a slogan with little substance of the “Change” called for. The “Change” alludes to a regime change in America without divulging the specifics of “Change.”

Perhaps Obama’s associations can give America a clue to what “Change” is.

Evils of Black Liberation Theology preached by Wright




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.

What’s Your Take on Black Liberation Theology?


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.

Jaffa Examines Wright’s Bad Attitude


Writing for the Claremont Institute, Harry V. Jaffa rebuts the anti-American, anti-white, generally racist and Black victimization sermon excerpts you probably have heard or read of Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

In case one has been ignoring the American Race for President of the United States,
Wright was the former Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ and the acknowledged spiritual mentor of Barack Hussein Obama.

The one angle I am not sure I agree with Jaffa is his unique theme of justifying White enslavement of Black Africans that eventually have become African-Americans. I don’t disagree with his reasoning; however his case just comes across as the very attitude that has made Black Americans agree with Wright’s vision of Black victimization by the “White Man.”

In my way of thinking racism is racism. It is irrelevant if the racists are White or Black. If a Black person hates a person because he is White it is wrong. If a White person hates a Black person because he is Black it is wrong.

I am certain a Black American that reads Jaffa’s essay and has any knowledge of history will point out that many of the Founding Fathers that are claimed to decry the institution of slavery were slave owners until the day they died. This includes icons like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

With that bit of criticism on my part I have to say
Jaffa’s essay is a good read that examines the reality of times of the existence of slave institution in America. An America in which a Black man still faces some hurdles yet with some good old fashioned American work ethic can and have become successful citizens of the United States of America. So I say get over your past and contribute to building a future in which racism becomes merely a practice of the fringe few or with God’s help eliminated (the last thought of elimination may be a bit utopian but I had to add it).

Hamas Manifesto on TUCC Pastor’s Page of Newsletter


Hamas Manifesto on TUCC Pastor’s Page of Newsletter
Obama Denies being Around

John R. Houk
© March 24, 2008


I know this is probably old news to many of this Website’s readers; however I just ran into today. A couple days ago
CreepingSharia.com roughly reprinted the story of BizzyBlog’s exposing that Obama’s Church – the Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) – published support of the Hamas Manifesto on Jeremiah Wright’s “Pastor’s Page” of the Church newsletter. BizzyBlog broke the news, but I read about on CreepingSharia.com thus I then posted from the CreepingSharia.com perspective.

I am now learning from
WorldNetDaily that Obama contacted the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to condemn Hamas and to explain (once again) he was not present at TUCC when the terrorist-racist support was expressed by Jeremiah Wright and TUCC by publishing the Newsletter which had the Hamas Manifested in it from a reprint of a Los Angeles Times editorial written by Islamic Terrorist Mousa Abu Marzook.

Is it just me noticing this: Obama seems to never be present at TUCC when the racism and pro-Terrorist and anti-American rhetoric comes from the pulpit or the Church’s written word?

I am beginning to wonder if Obama is following the old Goebbels paradigm on propaganda:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels (Emphasis Mine)


I mean Obama has been making an awful lot of denials and many condemnations over and over again … has not he?

Why is the
Hamas Manifesto such a big deal? It is because America’s own State Department has Hamas listed as a terrorist organization. Hamas has essentially rebelled against the PA in the Gaza Strip and basically run the show there. Part of the Hamas Manifesto (actual document link) is a call for the unmitigated and utter destruction of Israel which would of course if successful lead to another Holocaust of carnage that would make Hitler happy in hell that the Final Solution is continuing even after his demise.

Obama: 'Outrageously wrong' to reprint Hamas manifesto

Says 'I certainly wasn't in church' when defense of terror appeared on 'Pastor's Page' of bulletin

© 2008 WorldNetDaily

Posted: March 22, 2008 5:25 pm Eastern

Once again, Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama is distancing himself from a statement made by his Chicago church and defending himself by saying he wasn't present when the statement was made.

This time, Obama is reacting to a
WND report of the church's decision to reprint a manifesto by a Hamas spokesman that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America's Declaration of Independence.

The Hamas piece was published on the "Pastor's Page" of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week.

Hamas, responsible for scores of shootings, suicide bombings and rocket launchings against civilian population centers, is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.

In his July 22, 2007, church newsletter, Wright reprinted an article by Mousa Abu Marzook, identified in the publication as a "deputy of the political bureau of Hamas." A photo image of the piece was captured and
posted today by the business blog BizzyBlog, which first brought attention to it. The Hamas article was first published by the Los Angeles Times, garnering the newspaper much criticism.

Late Thursday, following WND's story, Obama e-mailed a
statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency criticizing Hamas and noting that he was not in church the day the bulletin was distributed.

"I have already condemned my former pastor's views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasn't in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin," Obama said.

"Hamas is a terrorist organization, responsible for the deaths of many innocents, and dedicated to Israel's destruction, as evidenced by their bombarding of Sderot in recent months. I support requiring Hamas to meet the international community's conditions of recognizing Israel, renouncing violence, and abiding by past agreements before they are treated as a legitimate actor," he said

WND has quoted Israeli security officials who express "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.

Malley has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.

Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.

In February 2006, after Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament and amid a U.S. and Israeli attempt to isolate the Hamas-run Palestinian Authority, Malley wrote an op-ed for the Baltimore Sun advocating international aid to the terror group's newly formed government.

Malley said the U.S. should not "discourage third-party unofficial contacts with [Hamas] in an attempt to moderate it."

In a separate statement received by JTA and timed to coincide with the Jewish holiday of Purim, the Obama campaign referenced the Bible's story of Queen Esther to condemn anti-Semitism:

"The story of Queen Esther and her uncle Mordechai saving the Jews of ancient Persia from destruction," his statement said. "Even as the parties are held, the songs are sung, and the noisemakers are rattled, the history of a people that has had to fight for its survival, remains at the heart of the Purim story. In our day, the celebration is mingled with a determination to ensure that Israel remains safe and strong, that we fight anti-Semitism wherever it occurs, and that the American Jewish community continues to play such an active and vital role in the life of our nation."

Commenter: Obama is not and Never has been a Muslim


Dave Lewis says:
do you people not understand that Obama is not and never has been a muslim. (Comment Mon 1/28/2008 6:47 PM)


****************************
I am assuming Mr. Lewis is referring to the Post Obama, the Muslim Thing, And Why It Matters.

I am making an educated guess and agreeing that Obama is currently not a Muslim; however the “and never has been” is another matter.

Barack Obama and his website echoes Mr. Lewis’ belief:
OBAMA IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A MUSLIM. The “Denial Page” is replete with YouTube videos, Leftist Media corroboration, Jewish corroboration and Political friends’ corroboration that Obama is not now and never has been a Muslim. The website says that Obama is a committed Christian attending Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Let us start with the Muslim factor.

The story first broke by
Insight Magazine January 2007.

The Leftist immediately jumped on the story as not credible. The Huffington Post a very Leftist media outlet debunked Insight Magazine as a Conservative smear campaign and thus could not be credible. However
Cliff Kincaid jumped on the Huffington Post as duplicitous for often has called Insight Magazine a credible source of information, yet now that mud has been found on Obama’s past suddenly Insight Magazine is not credible. Other Left Wing rags joined the HP in its denunciation.

Most of the Left began claiming form the roof tops that Insight Magazine is owned by the super Conservative Washington Times. Of course since Left Wing news sources are more credible the Right Wing news sources (tongue in cheek), the Insight Magazine story is not credible and thus false.

The Lefties had a mission to prove Obama was never connected to Islam and so one of the more famous Left media outlets in CNN was dispatched to Indonesia to investigate if the Right was correct (with the agenda of making the news that the Right was False).

CNN in a January 23, 2008 article concluded that Insight Magazine and Fox News were false. What was CNN’s evidence? The present day school attended in Obama’s youth is a public school with students from multiple faiths and thus not a Radical Islamist Madrassa. Thus it was a conclusion based on present day facts not on the facts that matter – the past.

The odd thing is the Washington Times sent out its own investigative team. Now obviously it has going to have a Slanted Right perspective. Here was the Washington Times Conclusion published a week earlier than CNN reported by
Newsmax.

The Washington Times went to Jakarta to investigate Obama's childhood years there, and published an article on March 16 that included these details:

  • A close boyhood friend of Obama, Zulfin Adi, said Barack "was a Muslim. He went to the mosque."

  • Obama's first-grade teacher at a Catholic school, Israella Dharmawan, said: "Barry (Barack's nickname) was Muslim. He was registered as a Muslim because his father was Muslim."

  • In the third grade, Obama transferred to a public school, where he was also registered as a Muslim. At the school, Muslim students attended weekly religion lessons about Islam.

  • In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."

    Now what sounds more credible? The CNN Report based on 21 century observations of the school that Obama attended or interviews and assertions and documentation from the Washington Times Report that shows a link to Islam in Obama’s past?

    Hmm… What is one to believe? Or soft evidence that looks more like propaganda or hard evidence that includes witnesses and documentation and Obama’s own admission? I think I will go with the latter.

    Not let us look at Obama’s deeply committed Christianity.

    Here is an excerpt from an
    American Thinker article published January 29, 2008 by Kyle-Anne Shiver:

  • When Obama first undertook his agitating work in Chicago's South Side poor neighborhoods, he was un-churched. Yet his office was in a Church and most of the folks he needed to agitate and organize were Church people -- pastors and congregants -- who took their churches and their church-going very seriously. So, this became a problem for the young agnostic, who had been exposed to very little religion in his life. Again and again, he was asked by pastors and church ladies, "Where do you go to Church, young man?" It was a question he dodged for a while, but finally he relented and joined a church.

    Not just any church, but a huge black nationalist church with a pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who unabashedly preaches a "black" gospel.
    Rolling Stone Magazine ran with a story on Obama and his church, entitled, "Destiny's Child," which included this exert (sic) from one of Rev. Wright's sermons:

      "Fact number one: We've got more black men in prison than there are in college," he intones.

      "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!"

      The crowd whoops and amens as Wright builds to his climax: "And. And. And! GAWD! Has GOT! To be SICK! OF THIS S**T!"

    This doesn't sound like any church in which I've ever worshipped, but perhaps I have led a sheltered life. Reverend Wright, whom Obama called his spiritual mentor and still claims is his sounding board, has taken trips abroad with none other than Louis Farrakhan. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan received the "Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer" Award at the 2007 Trumpet Gala at the the (sic) United Church of Christ. Wright was even reported to be a former Muslim. One might be led to wonder if this "church" isn't all it makes itself out to be.


    Whew! I am all for respecting a person’s right to Freedom of Religion; however the United Church of Christ (UCC) Church of choice along with its Past have the appearance of Black Supremacist racists on the scale of the racist anti-Semitic Black Muslim Louis Farrakhan.

    Obama’s Campaign theme seems to be “Change.” I wonder what kind of “Change” Obama would bring if elected to the Presidency of the United States of America.
