I have done a little homework over the past couple of days concerning all the flap about this liberation theology. Basically it started in the 50's and made it's way up through Central America and other countries where the seperation of poor and the rich were concerned. Some reference the roman catholic Church supported this at one point. It has transformed itself over the years into nothing but a socialist movement for the poor that demands distrubution of wealth. Socialism.
Seems like this became popular with the blacks and liberation theology sympathizers like Cone and others. Fair enough. Blacks need unity and support to gain civil rights. As this liberation theology transformed it took on the teachings of Marx and Trolsky and other socialists and communists. Which sucked in the poor and wanting to liberate them. Another little tidbit that also coincides and is almost in lockstep with organizations such as the Socialist Workers Party and the like. Working with big unions in the past like the Miners Union, and the Teamsters Union. It's all out there on the internet if you wantt to look it up. Most of the info I found, I posted in the Definition of a Democrat. That was just a taste of what I found.
Finding this information out has given me a new perception of the Democrat Party as a hole. Where is McCarthy when you need him? I think Anne Coulter could fill his shoes. In come people like Rev Wright, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton. and others. Speaking of Rev. Jackson does anyone remember his shady past with the Black Pathers? Now I am understanding where all this black liberation is coming from. People like Cones, Hopkins, Wright, Jackson, and Sharpton continue to exploit the necessity for the black community to liberate from the whites. This attitude has not change very much since 1968. Are these People still stuck in 1968? Why are they teaching the racial hatred shrouded as Christianity? I will have to agree somwhat with O'Reilly when he said some very heinous people have used these same tacics and propoganda in the past. Refering to Hitler and Stalin. These guys are falling right into the socialist hands fighting for all these programs and reparations from the governmet, expecting and demanding the government owes them a living. The Democratic Party keeps these people oppressed. the entitlement programs are not working, public education is not working. The lies the Democrats tell these people and making promises to them. I will give Wright one thing, Bill Clinton was riding dirty, still is, Hillary is riding dirty too.
Hence the need for Black Theology and the racist White Theology they just call Christianity. In walks Barrack Obama that is suppossed to be all about this and that trying to make himself out like the next John F. Kennedy. Bumping his gums about unity and bringing the country together. Speaking of the good sound judgment he has. Looks like he step right into a big ole' cow patty now. I have even read things where Martin Luther King brought about and promoted the liberation theology. He did it in a way that was diplomatic and was a purer form of what we see today with the likes of Wright.
For good reason, Dr. King focused on the good and had a dream one day all people could stand together in harmony. A world without war, racism, class warfare. I often wonder if Dr. King is rolling over in his grave. His dream seems to have been twisted so far out of shape in this day age. He is often insulted by the people that claim to carry on his torch. I honestly believe if Dr. King were alive today he would be ashamed and very unhappy at the condition of the world is in now, and the progress we have failed to make, to make his dream come true.
A lot of different people from all walks of life and religions supported Dr. King. Does Rev. Wright forget about the Jewish people that died in in the south, that he has referred to as a gutter religion? Does Rev. Wright forget that if it wasn't for the Republicans civil rights may not have become a reality when it did? All this stuff must have been brewing or Obama wouldn't have ask Wright to uninvited himself when Barrack was announcing his run for the Whitehouse. I also find it odd the ranting reverend retired about a month before this story broke loose. Now Barrack is jumping around like a mexican jumping bean trying to explain himself. Something just ain't quite Kosher here all the way around.
Martin Luther King wanted to liberate black americans along with anyone that was poor, get them closer to God. Get the rich closer to God and convince them to get off their wealth and help their fellow man. I cannot believe I am talking about Martin Luther King and raving ranting Rev. Wright on the same page let alone talking about them in the same breath.
It really disturbs me to think Barrack Obama is on the same basic wavelength as reverend Wright. All his talk about the poor and racial disparities, bringing everyone together. His eloquent speeh was so full of holes the finest Swiss Cheese masters would be proud. We are looking at the truist form of a socialist. The same with Hillary Clinton, she is a socialist as well. The Kennedys' crawling in bed with Barrack, the hard left backing and supporting Barrack. Reagan also found himself at sorts with the Democratic Party because of the elite in Hollywood and democratic leaders that promoted socialism and communism. The Democratic Party is a wolf dressed in sheeps clothing.
When are people going to wake up and smell the roses?
All of the Union leaders and the way the unions paint their pretty little picture and support the Democratic Party are all linked to in some form or fashion to the SWP. Black Liberation Theology takes it one step further and feeds racism. Why do you think the democrats want all these comprehensive progressive programs? Why do you think they are always going after the rich? It is all about distribution of wealth and complete govermental control over America. Why do you think they constanly attack the Constitution? Why do you think they want us to believe it is a living breathing document, that needs to be updated, become more progressive and comprehensive. To shape it into something that it was not intended to be. Socialism.
Why do you think conservative Christians are always under attack? Why do you think the secularists are screaming about getting rid of religion and prayer in school? Socialism. There is no Conservative Right Wing Conspiracy going on. It's called the Socialist Agenda.
As conservatives we need to stand up and fight the secular socialist agenda. We need to stand our ground, dig in, and say, We are mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore!
I can relate to how the blacks feel about Christianity and how they feel and justify wanting to have black values and a form of Christianity they can call their own. All of these values I have read over the past view days are the same values I have as a Christian. I've been to and heard similar sermons Reverend Wright has delivered. I have heard similar statements and racial comments like this. The important thing I saw and heard was in the context it was delivered in. Getting people to relate how they feel, and to move forward. Bringing up questions in peoples minds. Some jump, holler and scream saying this is racism, sometimes it is, more often than not, it isn't. It is geared toward what black people have to deal with everyday, what they are going to run into. From the sermons I have heard it was used to gives these people something to build strength on to get the through life, to continue to struggle, to do what they could to discourage ill feelings to the ignorant people they ran into that were racists. Be proud of who you are. Take care of your family and children. Live wholesome clean lives. Work a hard and develop good ethics. Get educated, get good jobs, make life better for you kids. Blacks have a hard enough time, they don't need Wrights' help making it any harder.
I'm not going to sit here and paint all black liberation theology is racist. It is not. I know better. The media has done a poor job on this issue in a lot of ways.
What brings me to talk about this is the segment I watched on the O'Reilly Factor and the Professor he had on tonight that pretty much said the same thing. Rev. Wright is on the very Radical end of the black liberation theological crowd.
As a Christian I do not think we need this seperation of white and black theology. We need to come together as Christians and just have theology. We need to ignore the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons, Jerimiah Wrights, and Farrakhans of the world.
Speaking of Al Sharpton I do have to give him some rythym here. I have seen a side of Rev. Sharpton over the past few days that I have never seen from him before. He has discussed and brought up some very good arguments concerning the racial divisions in this country, and explained how blacks feel and believe. He has done it on Fox News too. Where alot of people won't go and talk or interview because of the hardball questions. Barrack boycotted when the Black Caucas wanted to debate on Fox. If he can't stand the heat in the kitchen at Fox News, he surely is not ready to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world.
I don't care that Barrack is black, I don't care he is half white. It is his socialist politics I can't stand. You can call it progressive, you can call it comprehensive or liberal. Paint it any color you want. It still is going to be socialism. The same goes for Hillary, Pelosi, Reid, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, or just about anyone on the left. It is still socialism, chickens do not run with donkeys.
I cannot call Barrack Obama a racist like some have done. I haven't seen any evidence that Barrack is a racist. I think his reverend is a racist, I think Farrakhan is a racist. Barrack has stumbled and choked, he isn't the calm confident man we have seen in the past. I'm sure it is hard for him. At this point I will give Barrack the benefit of the doubt at the moment. He may want to collectively liberate blacks, minorities, and everyone that is poor.
If Obama even wants to gain any respect out of me, he needs to step up to the plate, get out of his comfort zone. Sit down and talk and interview with Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity. Sit down and talk to somebody like John Kasich. Better yet go sit down with the G-man one time. I bet the G-man would be the most gracious and intellectual out of the bunch. I think the G-man would be fair with him. He wouldn't hold back and throw any softballs at him either. Barrack wouldn't be able to spin it either. The G-man has travelled too many miles in the beltway and politics. What a beautiful sight that is. The G-man and Obama, come on in said the spider to the fly.
