Jeremiah Wright's anti-sematic Palm Sunday Sermon

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing "God Bless America." No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme." ~ Jeremiah Wright (2003 sermon)

As I drove up to Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit last Sunday, I knew something big was going to happen this day. How did I know? Because I couldn't get a parking place within three blocks of the church. What was going on?

I got my answer as I looked at who was seated in the pulpit: none other than the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, pastor Emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, Ill., whose church Barack and Michelle Obama attended for 20 years as members.

My pastor, the Rev. Dr. Charles G. Adams, and Jeremiah Wright have been very good friends for over 35 years. Both pastors came of age during the 1960s and the civil-rights era. Both pastors are big-city liberal Democrats, believers in redistributive wealth, unionism, social justice and liberation theology – applying Marxist politics and economic philosophy to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Initially, as I listened to Dr. Wright with my 13-year-old son, Stone, using his Bible, I was expecting a non-political, non-controversial sermon, but that was a fool's dream. Rev. Wright's messaged was titled, "What You Can't See!" based on the following passage from 2 Kings 6:8-17:

“Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
“And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
“And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
“Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
“And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
“And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
“Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
“And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
“And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
“And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”

Despite the thunderous shouts of Amen! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! and hysterical laughter in response to Rev. Wright's sermon, I knew in my heart that this man standing before me in the pulpit was deceitful to core; a false prophet perverting the word of God like no other person I had ever witnessed.

For example, I heard Rev. Wright read the well-known biblical passage above, but the political spin he put on it was quite outrageous. Here is a synopsis of how Wright arranged the biblical narrative to apply to contemporary American politics:

• Syria-Israel War = America-Iraq War;
• King of Syria = President George W. Bush;
• Operation Capture Elisha = Operation Desert Storm;
• Prophet Elisha = Saddam Hussein (an innocent man with no WMDs);
• Syrian Army = U.S. military (i.e., an evil pagan army hell-bent on capturing the man of God);
• Syria's servants = President George Bush military and political advisers;
• Elisha's servants = black Americans whose eyes needed to be open about how evil and irredeemable the US of KKKA is.

To atone for his radicalism, Rev. Wright ended his sermon with the ubiquitous three points: 1) You are not alone; 2) God is at work on your behalf; and 3) You have nothing to be afraid of.

But of course, dear reader, America has quite a lot to be afraid of due to the shameful complicity and political cover up the liberal media provided Obama and his mentors, like Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and Jeremiah Wright. We did not so much vote for a candidate in November 2008, but America voted for a revolution, a revolutionary hell-bent on deconstructing all that is good, honorable and patriotic; a fascist seeking to destroy America from within so as to remake this wonderful country into his own Marxist image.

For those of you who still believe that one can sit in Rev. Wright's church of hate for 20 years and not be affected, compare the outrageous treatment Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received to the anti-Semitic rant of Rev. Wright who said:

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.

Mrs. Obama, who are the Racists?

.

First Lady Obama, speaking at NAACP in July, on the eve of their declaring the Tea Party racist, stated

“When African American communities are still hit harder than just about anywhere by this economic downturn and so many families are just barely scraping by…”

and “…just like so many other challenges that we face as a nation, the African American community is being hit even harder by this issue.”

Mrs. Obama, like so many in her small circle, appears to be completely blind to the rest of America. Does she honestly believe that the ‘African American’ community is hit harder by the economic downturn than, say...the 'Native American' community?  Is it really hit harder by childhood obesity than the ‘Caucasian’ community, or the 'Latino' community?  Does she have statistics to back that up?
 
If she is right, whose fault is it?  How does she propose to fix the 'issue?'  Will more stimulus funds solve it?  If so, will the funds be targeted at only those served by the NAACP, or will children of other heritages, who Mrs. Obama doesn't appear to be as concerned about, also benefit?
Mrs. Obama went on to say that if the 'issue' of childhood obesity within the 'African American' community isn't resolved, 'African American' children “won’t be in any shape to continue the work begun by the founders of this great organization."  (the NAACP)

And what is that work? Please tell the rest of us, because for years we've been lead to believe that the NAACP was a civil rights organization with an altruistic heart for equality of all people.  It sure doesn't seem that this is the case, anymore.  Maybe it never was.

Lastly, why does Mrs. Obama, the NAACP, and their followers continue to call American citizens of darker skin “African” Americans?  Why is there a continual, purposeful pointing out of centuries old heritage? 

I have never been referred to as a "German American." ...Or an "Irish American," or "Scottish American," for that matter. (My, my, which one would I choose?) 

OH WAIT!  Africa is a continent.  Therefore, I would be called a "European" American.  And by the way - are ONLY people of dark skin who are of African heritage allowed in the NAACP?  What if they have European heritage as well?

Oh, wait, President Obama has more than one heritage.  So...is he considered "African" American or..."European" American, ...or both?

Excuse me, but who here are the people most focused on "race" aka  - the true racists?

Obama Continues to Ignore DOJ Dismissal of Black Panthers Lawsuit

.

The Department of Justice, under President Bush, filed a lawsuit in late 2008 naming three New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense ( NBPPSD) members and alleging that they intimidated Philadelphia voters during the Nov. 4, 2008 general election.

According to the complaint, members Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were stationed by Chairman Malik  Zulu Shabazz at the entrance to a polling location wearing NBPPSD uniforms, and Shabazz was carrying a “police-style baton weapon,” scaring away potential Caucasian voters. Two witnesses testified that at least three voters turned away, and that a black poll watcher was visibly upset and demanded that police be called because the intimidators had called him a race traitor and told him that if he stepped outside, there would be hell to pay.

The Black Panthers admitted that the men were ‘deployed” to the location as part of a nationwide effort to have NBPPSD members at polling locations on Election Day.

The Bush administration investigated and found cause for charges.

“Intimidation outside of a polling place is contrary to the democratic process,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Grace Chung Becker at the time. “The Department takes allegations of voter intimidation seriously.”

But sources told The Bulletin that although career prosecutors wanted to proceed with the case, Obama appointees did not. The Obama administration won. The DOJ filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit for Mr. Jackson, who identified himself to police as a member of the Democratic Committee in the 14th Ward, and a default judgment against Samir Shabazz. But apparently the proposed order for the default judgment asks for none of the usual conditions the Justice Department would want, such as keeping Mr. Shabazz away from any polling locations for a set number of years into the future.

Later, Shabazz was video taped at an event, yelling at the crowd, telling black people that they have to "Kill Some Crackers and Their Babies!"

According to whistleblower J. Christian Adams, attorney of 18 years and until recently, Department of Justice employee, this was about ‘race,’ not DOJ fidelity to the law.

"The dismissal of the voter intimidation lawsuit against armed New Black Panthers in Philadelphia is the most prominent example of this hostility toward race-neutral enforcement of civil rights laws."

Hans von Spakovsky, a former career Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, thinks the inaction by the Justice Department is unprecedented. He told The Bulletin that the dismissal by Justice, with no notice on the Justice Department press site, particularly against an organization listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, is a horrible miscarriage of justice. He said DOJ has failed in its duty to enforce voting laws.

"…dismissing an individual who was a local Democratic Party official who defaulted by not answering the complaint smacks of the worst sort of political partisanship," he said. "It is completely contrary to all of the promises that Eric Holder made when he was confirmed to be Attorney General."

Having heard Mr. Adams sworn testimony, why isn't the Attorney General, if he was not part of this miscarriage of Justice, conducting an investigation?  Why doesn't Obama seem to care?

President Obama - what's the "teachable moment" that we're supposed to get out of this?
