A look at current events from the point of a view of a Conservative Evangelical Christian who stands firmly on the Word of God (that's the Bible for those of you at Berkley) and stands behind the Constitution of the United States of America. So grab yourself a big cup of java, kick back in your chair and enjoy another member of the "vast right wing conspiracy" making his voice heard.

Obama's duck and run


Finally people are starting to realize with Barack Hussein Obama that all that glistens is not really gold. With so many on the right being criticized for keeping and maintaining traditional and Biblical values that are no longer considered "politically correct" by many on the left, i was wondering if Sen. Obama would continue to get a free ride based on his membership for the last 20 years at a church that preaches against the United States of America, seeks racial division and uses the bully pulpit to make political statements.

I've personally been annoyed with the constant emails telling me that Obama is a muslim or Obama is the anti-Christ...to the point of actually having to defend the man; but his membership with the racially divisive and hate mongering Trinity United Church of Christ is indefensible. His pastor Jeremiah Wright, a self professed follower of the "liberation theology" of the 60's (which is no where near being Biblical or Christian theology) has turned his worship services into anti-American rants, attacks on our national leaders and even attacks on Bill and Hillary Clinton. Now keep in mind, that if a conservative Southern Baptist pastor were to do such a thing, not only would they be hung in effigy, they would quickly lose their tax exempt status and have the IRS locking the doors quicker than you can say "tithe".

Obama apparently has thrown his spiritual leader under the back of the segregated bus because in an effort to cover his backside and do damage control Sen. Obama went as far as to allow himself to be interviewed by that "evil, right winged, conservative mouth piece" Fox News...pretty desperate, huh. You can watch the clip here: Barack Obama Fox News Interview

I do want to point out one thing Obama mentions in this interview, "If I had thought that was the tenor or tone on an ongoing basis of his sermons, then yes, I don't think it would've been reflective of my values or my faith experience...If I had heard them repeated, I would've quit."

He is the member of a large and very well known church where all one has to do is a simple search on You Tube to find videos from Jeremiah Wright from up to a year ago...with the same hateful and race baiting filled venom we have seen clips of over the last couple of days. All Obama had to do was contact anyone at this so called church to find out what kind of propaganda was being proclaimed from the pulpit of Jeremiah Wright...or better yet, does a church this side not put out a newsletter? How about the church website Sen. Obama? In short, only an idiot would have not known what kind of filth was coming from the mouth of Jeremiah Wright on Sunday mornings.

I pastor a church where we have 80-100 people on most Sunday mornings, and apparently news travels pretty fast as to what i preach. I maintain our church website personally and it will tell the casual seeker what we believe, why we believe it, and what i am preaching on. Even 20-30 miles away people seem to know what i preach, and if i were to preach something controversial it would get around even quicker. So i really find it hard to believe that Barack Obama had no idea that Jeremiah Wright was preaching such rhetoric and propaganda being a 20 year member of this organization.

I hope this is not over just because Jeremiah Wright has allegedly left the Obama campaign as an advisor; because i think Barack Obama still has a lot of explaining to do. "I'm not there enough" is not nearly a good enough excuse and does not excuse the fact that Barack Obama has said in public that he is "proud" of his race baiting pastor.

And just for the record to all of you well intentioned (but misguided) liberals out there wanting to split hairs, John McCain being endorsed by John Hagee whose end of times theology might appear to be anti-Catholic fails in comparison to Obama's relationship with Jeremiah Wright. John McCain was endorsed by Pastor Hagee, a basic political endoresment...John McCain has not supported the ministry of Hagee for the last 20 years; so don't try to compare apples and oranges. I'm sick of the double standard and the hypocrisy of the left, and i think it is about time this is coming to light!
