I am annoyed with the Main Stream Media (MSM). Barry* (Barrack Obama) preaches a message of "Healing and Harmony" - but he practices a very divisive theology - one would believe this inconsistency in his life is a news worthy item - so why is the mainstream media hiding it?
*Rather than talk about a theology he has been practicing for 20 plus years, NBC did a news cast about his childhood friends from Jakarta, Indonesia, a story which began and ended with a picture of Obama’s classmates in front of huge "Good Luck Barry!"
The MSM tell us they are delivering "objective news" - but media bias is so apparent - why do they pretend it doesn’t exist? They should just declare themselves a 527 for the Democratic Party.
Friday’s NBC Nightly News devoted 22 seconds to the controversy srurrounding Barry’s church (spinning it to make it sound like an isolated comment about Hillary) and three minutes on a celebratory piece about how excited Obama’s childhood friends in Indonesia are about his candidacy. In a story which began and ended with a picture of Obama’s classmates in front of huge "Good Luck Barry!"
Here is the web site. http://www.tucc.org/talking_points.htm
The website says:
The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology that started in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book, Black Power and Black Theology.
The quote below is from - Dr. James Cone’s book.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hal_Cone
Dr. Cone has explained the his theology as follows
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
All of it is very disturbing, but let’s highlight a few things:
Second sentence - God is a murder if he is not against "white people" - This isn’t in the least bit divisive - is it?
Third sentence - the only acceptable love of God is that which participates in the destruction of "the white enemy" - This thought certainly brings harmony right into my soul.
Second to Last sentence - We need divine love expressed in "the power of black people to destroy their oppressors" - correct me if I’m wrong - but this does not sound like the message of peace, love, and forgiveness that Jesus preached?
Pastor Wright, Barry’s friend and mentor accepts and preaches this theology at TUCC - Barry (Barrack) has been listening and discipling himself to this message for 20 years - do you think it has had no effect?
We’re not talking about an isolated sermon, but a systematic theology he has embraced for 20 years - go to youtube and search for Jeremiah Wright - there are plenty of his sermons available.

Now you can argue that I am taking this out of context, I ask you - please provide a context that would make any of this acceptable - and harmonious - rather than divisive and hate filled. This stuff is as bad as anything I’ve heard come from the white supremacist theology of the KKK. I find both repugnant and unacceptable.
The days leading up to the Texas Primary, I received several calls from Obama’s campaign. I finally had the opportunity to talk to them. Here is a transcript of our conversation:
Campaign worker - "Sir CAN I ask you if you are supporting Obama?"
Me - "MAY I ask you a question?"
Campaign worker - "Sure"
Me - "Does Obama still support Partial Birth Abortion? You know - the procedure where a doctor induces labor of a woman five to nine months pregnant - turns the baby to the breach position, delivers the child’s body, but before extracting the baby’s head - the doctor inserts scissors into the base of the skull - scrambles the brains - killing the baby - sucks the brains out with a vacuum collapsing the skull - then completes the delivery of the now dead infant - does he really support that?"
silence
Me - "Are you there?"
Dial Tone.....
Of course I could ask the same of Hillary - who’s husband vetoed a bill - twice - that would make the procedure illegal.
