Barack Obama - Change We Can Do Without
By Jim Willis on Jun 5, 2008 in Elections, Government & Politics, Sen Barack Obama, Society & Culture | Printable Version
It’s official–Barack Hussein Obama is the Democrat nominee for president. Sort of. Maybe. “Presumptive” they call it. That is, he is the nominee if the Clintonoids can’t figure out a way to smear him before or during the convention. Good for the Dems. I wonder if you Dems really know what you’re getting?
There is no legislative history to judge Obama by, unless you count his three years as a U.S. Senator, two of which he’s spent campaigning for president. You do know he has THE most liberal voting record of any U.S. Senator for the past three years, right? You also know his philosophy, his approach to solving “the great issues we face” is Marxist, right? That means his solutions are really big government programs with more and more control of your life by the government–down to the lighbulbs you can use and the temperature of your thermostat.
The end result of Obama’s philosophy? Less and less individual freedom. America was founded as the freest nation on earth–which is one reason why she has been the greatest nation on earth. If Obama wins in November with an all-Democrat Congress, your individual freedoms will change–drastically.
Since we only have a few year’s worth of undistinguished legislative votes by which to judge Mr. Obama, we’re left to look for other ways to evaluate him and give us insight into how he would govern as president. As a church-goer myself, I’m interested in the church he attends, and the kind of messages preached at that church, as a clue to what Obama believes and consequently how he would govern. I’ve checked out the church Mr. Obama has attended for the last 17 years — Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. It is one of the leading churches in the “Black Liberation Theology” movement, which sounds innocent enough, until you find out what that actually means.
Black Liberation Theology essentially says white people have oppressed black people throughout history and that oppression continues today. It also says white people in the U.S. today are beneficiaries of the fruits of slavery. That is, the “things” white people have today, including their possessions and their social standing, their jobs and their money, are a result of ill-gotten gains from oppressing black people for generations–in the past AND today. Bottom line: If you’re white, you don’t deserve what you have. It is a racist philosophy. It is also a Marxist philosophy as much of Black Liberation Theology is aimed at forcibly redistributing wealth from the “haves” (white people) to the “have nots” (black people). Black Liberation Theology is bigotry and Marxism masquerading as Christianity.
Here is what we know: Barack Obama has set under the teaching and preaching of Black Liberation Theology for 17 years, listening and absorbing it like a sponge. You KNOW he did not disagree with it or he would have left Trinity UCC long ago (like his pal Oprah did). Please don’t insult my intelligence by pretending there were “just a few” outrageous statements uttered by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, pastor of Trinity UCC for the past 17 plus years. Rev. Wright is one of the leaders at the center of the Black Liberation Theology movement! Obama’s statements of “I didn’t know” about the extremist views of Wright and Black Liberation Theology are pandering lies that stupid people choose to believe. Hopefully, if you’re reading this, you aren’t stupid.
Need proof of my assertions? Click on the links at the end of this article and read for yourself what has been written by the founders of Black Liberation Theology. And please, click the image below to watch visiting priest Father Michael Pfleger, “a friend of Trinity,” as he speaks from the Trinity pulpit about “white entitlement” and Hillary Clinton. Notice particularly the standing ovation he’s given for his disgusting diatribe. This single clip tells you all you need to know about what Obama has soaked up for the last 17 years. Do you want someone who believes this garbage as your president? I sure don’t.
Obama’s campaign slogan is, “Change We Can Believe In.” I’d say Barack Obama represents “Change We Can Do Without.”

A further comment here. I’ve already had one comment on this post that I considered racist and removed. Please do not make the mistake of thinking I am a racist in any way, shape or form. I am not, and those who know me, know that to be true.
I am against racism of any type, which is why I am against people like Rev. Wright who are racist. It doesn’t matter who the target of that racism is!
Not all blacks believe as Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger. I believe it is a distinct minority that do.
I had some fear and trepidation in writing this post in the first place–but I feel so strongly that the Obama that is packaged and fed to us by the mainstream media is not the “real” Obama, that I could not be silent.
Racism is ugly in any form. We can have a civil discussion about it, but please…no racist remarks about “all” blacks or about “all” of any other ethnicity. Not on this blog.

Even Juan Williams agrees with your points on Obama for goodness sakes. He has spoken out against the hate speech coming from that “church”. What does that tell you? Anyone who doesn’t see that philosophy as pure bigotry hasn’t done their research, or simply has a one-sided view of racism. Please always print the truth as you have. When we stop speaking truth, we have fallen into the guilt trap set by liberal hypocrites. Free speech doesn’t mean free speech as long as nobody’s opinion or lifestyle is offended- liberals are not the sole population allowed to speak out. And you’re right. Anyone who knows you, knows better. Shame on anyone ignorant enough to lash out without cause. More people long to hear the truth than you know. Maybe you should write a book?

I’ll say one more thing. I’ve never been a John McCain fan, especially with all the republican back-stabbing he’s done over the years, but I tell ya what- I’m looking forward to sitting back and watching what he does to Obama in the general election. I expect fireworks- I suspect we’ll see Obama tugging at his collar. No more grapefruits being lobbed like in those mincy debates between Chillary and Obama. Fast-balls are a’coming, republican style.

Thanks sis! Great thoughts, and much appreciated. An excellent point on Juan Williams. He is one of the few commentators on the left I respect and enjoy listening to–because he’s honest. The world would be a better place if we had fewer Keith Olbermanns and more Juan Williams’.
Yes, should be an interesting election season. The thing I’ve noticed is whenever Obama is unplugged from his teleprompter he can’t string two coherent thoughts together. It’ll be fun watching the Left’s Messiah come unglued in the fire of debate that’s coming.
