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.

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.
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).
I continue to wonder how Obama can condemn racist statements and support a church that supports terrorism (viz. Hamas) and can still say he is above the racist anti-American beliefs of those associated with for years.
In the midst of all the Obama denials and condemnations of past and present associates, there is an amazing amount of evidence emerging that the eloquent Barack Obama is merely just another two-faced fringe Leftist trying to deceive his way into the White House.

Obamacide – Obama’s Church Reprinted Hamas Manifesto
March 18, 2008
If this isn’t Obamacide then we may have to start calling him Teflon Barry.
From BizzyBlog comes evidence that Obama’s church not only has anti-white, anti-American feelings, but may also have a pro-Hamas bias. The July 22, 2007 Trinity United Church of Christ bulletin reprinted an article written by Mousa Abu Marzook, deputy of the political bureau of Hamas. Originally printed in the LA Times as “Hamas’ stand“, Pastor Wright added a new title, “A Fresh View of the Palestinian Struggle”. The Times was criticized for giving a “Platform To Genocidal Terrorist.” Where does that leave Obama’s church? Marzook is a known terrorist and created an extensive Hamas network in the United States.
The smoking gun is here in Obama’s church bulletin. Was Obama there? Does he support Hamas? Expect Obama and his supporters to simply ignore this tacit if not direct support of a terrorist organization.
Update: Obama Foreign Policy Advisor Robert Malley an Avid Hamas Supporter - Father was Confidante of Yasser Arafat.

“Creeping Sharia” is a phenomenon occurring across the free world. We’ll define it as “the slow, deliberate, and methodical advance of Islamic law (sharia) in non-Muslim countries” (literal definitions below).
To the general public, justifiably pre-occupied with work, family, pleasure, dreams, hopes, goals, and the stresses of each, “creeping sharia” goes mostly unnoticed. Until, that is, a particular event generates enough concern from those who focus on the “creep” that the general public takes notice. These singular events are sometimes less worrisome, but taken in whole, the uncoordinated yet explicit goal of the ummah and worldwide caliphate become obvious and alarming.
Hence the birth of the “creeping sharia” blog.
The blog will focus on “creeping sharia” in the United States however major events in other … READ MORE ON THE ABOUT PAGE.
Here is a news item from Aaron Klein billed as the racist New Black Panther Party (NBPP) has endorsed Barack Obama for President. I am certain Klein is working the connections Obama has had with Black racists Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan.
It is the kind of path the Leftist Mainstream Media (MSM) method to hammer on Conservatives (for example President Bush, VP Cheney, Scooter Libby, Tom DeLay, etc.). So I am undecided if it leaves a bad taste in my mouth or if it is good for the goose it is good for the gander.
Klein actually focuses more the NBPP leader Malik Zulu Shabazz establishing his credentials as a full blown racist hater of white people and Jews. I actually did not know much about Shabazz until this article so I am grateful for that.

There is a lot of fiction going around about Barack Obama; however the truths about Obama seem to be ignored by the Mainstream Media (MSM). Obama is somewhat like the Arab propagandist Yasser Arafat: he says one thing to Westerners and acts another toward those he truly appreciates.
A good example is Obama’s attendance of a “progressive” Christian Church in which it’s Pastor gives an award to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan who is a Jewish hate monger and destroy whitey kind of guy.
Trinity United Church of Christ’s About Web Page simply does not seem to line up with the support and association Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. has with Farrakhan.
“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian...”
Does this sound “Unapologetically Christian:”
Wright on 9/11: "White America got their wake-up call after 9/11. White America and the Western world came to realize people of color had not gone away, faded in the woodwork, or just disappeared as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns." On the Sunday after the attacks, Dr. Wright blamed America.
Wright on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway: "Black women are being raped daily in Africa. One white girl from Alabama gets drunk at a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and gives it up while in a foreign country and that stays in the news for months."
Wright on Israel: "The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism."
Wright on America: He has used the term "middleclassness" in a derogatory manner; frequently mentions "white arrogance" and the "oppression" of African-Americans today; and has referred to "this racist United States of America." (Newsmax)
Wright sounds more congruent to the racism, hate and black supremacism of Nation of Islam leader Farrakhan.
When the MSM called Obama on this fact, he issued a statement:
“I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan. I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree.”
Is that some kind of double speak meant to please all readers of various opinions whether Leftist Utopians or Jewish hating Muslims?
I agree with Naomi Ragen:
“If I had a Rabbi, for example, who publicly supported and honored a despicable racist, I’d change shuls. Mr. Obama’s distancing himself, even during a political campaign, has not included either changing churches or spiritual leaders.”
Read Ragen’s entire article that should wake up Republicans (especially) and Democrats (hopefully) alike.
My fellow Americans of all races, creeds and religions: America is at war with Terrorists that tell the world their religion is Islam and the school of Islam they follow represents the true interpretation of their prophet Mohammed. Indeed every modern terrorist attack is a 21st century tactical upgrade of Mohammed’s own tactics to spread his cult and to aggrandize power first for himself and later to the ruling elites that admired Mohammed’s techniques of conquest and enforced submission.
It has been said that a majority of Mohammedans denounce or disagree with Islamist Terrorist claims they represent the true religion of Islam/Mohammedanism. This majority of Mohammedans labeled moderate is said to account for 90% of the Mohammedan belief system.
The difficulties with that claim are that of the 90% only a fraction actively and vocally denounce the actions of Islamist Terrorists. In Europe and America (especially America), the majority of the funding of Mosques and Imam/Mullah or whatever the Mohammedan clerics are called receive funding from Saudi Arabia.
Hello! The dominant school of thought among Sunni Mohammedans in Saudi Arabia is Wahhabi. Wahhabi/Muslim Brotherhood is the vile ideology of terrorists like Usama bin Laden (mentioned for notoriety, there are many factions of terrorists).
Let me ask you: Who was responsible for the deaths of American citizens in the thousands on September 11, 2001? If you said Usama bin Laden and his al Qaeda transnational Islamist terrorist organization, at least you know why there is a War on Terror.
Now here is the thing. Local Mohammedan non-profit organizations primarily represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) receive their funding and teaching materials from either Islamist terrorists such the vile murderous group known as Hamas (Arabs calling themselves Palestinians) and/or Wahhabi Saudi Arabia.
It is politically correct to look the other way if a potential offense from a group of ideologues who claim to be a religion of peace is a finger of evil. This is obviously the case with terrorist supported and terrorist supporting CAIR.
If anyone who has become enlightened to understand the goals and the instrumentality to execute those goals and to perpetuate a community where freedom and liberty is non-existent (hence “Islamofascism”), then those fakir become a target for character assassination. The very intolerant racist bigoted hate of Islamists is deceptively implicated on the enlightened. The actuality is bigotry and racism is not the issue for that is what the Mohammedan has towards all non-Mohammedans; the issue is exposing the Mohammedan agenda as dangerous to American or Western Culture.
The dumb moonbat Lefties have fallen for the race card hook, line and sinker because their touching faith in civil rights as an absolute; even if the enemy uses those civil rights to perpetuate the destruction of a non-Mohammedan culture.
Michael Savage is currently experiencing this attack when the intolerant bigots of Mohammedanism have the audacity of calling Savage a hate-mongering racist bigot (I kind of pushed the envelope on that description). CAIR wants Savage out of Talk Radio and is actively contacting sponsors of his programming to drop him. If there are no sponsors then Savage’s employers cancel his Talk Radio program. If CAIR succeeds, they will have effectively convinced sponsors that CAIR links to Hamas is a non-issue thus preventing Free Speech efforts of exposing Mohammedanism from occurring.
Effectively local American Islamists that act as a Fifth Column will have silenced a critic relying on the current American mindset of being Politically Correct. Michael Savage is not the first to experience this; however the notoriety of his name among the extreme Right is like a prize kill in a safari.
Brave bloggers like Andrew Whitehead were threatened with extreme litigation to end their efforts to expose Islam and CAIR in particular as a threat to American society. Whitehead was the David having little original funding to fight CAIR – the Goliath – who has the funding of rich Islamists from Saudi Arabia and Hamas. In America David/Whitehead spanked CAIR/Goliath in the Courts for CAIR dropped the suit when they began to realize that in the course of a civil trial, CAIR’s true nature would become public. I am certain some of those things CAIR feared to be publicly revealed might have led to criminal charges.
In the case of Michael Savage you need to read the Cybercast News Service for the details on the CAIR attack on Savage’s livelihood with the racist/bigot card that Islamists nearly hold the monopoly on.
One of my friends at the Vox Community discovered one of the most libelous videos on David Horowitz and Conservatives who are educating America on the difference between Islamist Theo-political ideology and Mohammedanism.
I personally confess to being an Islamophobe because Mohammedan holy writings are the ammunition Islamists use to promote their dream of an intolerant international Caliphate in which the globe must submit. I know there are Mohammedans out there that condemn Islamism; however there are not nearly enough and most are quiet about the dastardly deeds of homicidal deaths inflicted on people who would otherwise could less of an Islamist existence.
This video by acg103 (can also be viewed at Humbled Infidel) is a load of crap skewed horribly by disinformation to use snippets to support an untrue accusation of hatred. In affect acg103 is spreading the hatred of Christianity and Conservatives who stand for morality and against Islamist theo-ideology.
If acg103 was caught by an Islamist, the terrorist would whack his head off for being an atheist. Acg103 may protest: “But I supported your right to practice your religion,” as the Islamist sword was drawn (as so many times in the past) to execute decapitation. [oops this link is now correct]
The Islamist might reply: “You are an infidel and worse, you do not believe in Allah.” As the blade begins its descent acg103 would these last words: Allahu Akbar (Allah-god is the greatest).
Acg103 has the audacity to call those who expose Islamism racists and hate mongers. In fact if you visit acg103’s YouTube site it is enmeshed in pink. Friends pink and red are colors of Marxists. Acg103 sounds like the kind of Marxist that used to dominate the old “Evil Empire” – The Soviet Union. The old Soviets were masters of using lies to try to propagandize their citizens and the foolish outside the Evil Empire’s sphere of influence.
O what a day it was when people like Ronald Reagan (representing the true America) and Pope John Paul II (symbolizing Christianity) brought the Evil Empire to its knees in a glorious collapse.
Acg103, the same exposition will happen to your pack of Left Wing lies!
