The Rev Wright fallout continues….

See Here.

There are a growing number of Black people who are saying, "Whoa! Wait a Minute! That man doesn’t speak for me or my Church!"

Now that, I can understand. I will admit this, I grew up around blacks, When I lived in Detroit, I also went to School with them, I did go to Private Schools, but I did go to school with black people, and I never heard anything like, what Rev. Wright said at both of those speeches.

I guess what I am trying to make clear here is, that Liberation Theology is NOT a universally held doctrine amongst black Christians and in their Churches. Liberation Theology is a Liberal Christian doctrine, which has smatterings of Marxism in it. We all know that Marxism is the building blocks for Communism. It is also a known fact that the Democrat Party is the party of socialism, or at least embraces some of the tenants of a socialist agenda.

I also noticed something else rather alarming, Rev. Wright in what is known, as a believer in a very Liberal Christian Theological doctrine, called Universalism.

Universalism is basically a teaching that basically, "All Paths lead to God"… there’s only ONE little problem with that whole idea.  That is this, and if I come off sounding preachy here, I apologize, this is supposed to be a Political Blog and not a Christian one, But I must speak out against falsehoods being taught on national TV. The problem is this right here….:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6 KJV)

Essentially, this scripture says, that Islam is a LIE, That buddhism is a LIE, that Roman Catholicism is a LIE, When it says that it is the "Mother Church". that ANY OTHER Religion out there, that doesn’t believe that JESUS CHRIST is the ONE and ONLY Messiah and that the Holy Bible, with it’s 66 Books is the Holy Scriptures , it is, for all intents and purposes, A LIE CRAFTED OUT THE PIT OF THE DEVIL’S HELL!

Let me be absolutely clear, I make absolutely no bones about it. I believe that there is ONLY ONE WAY to Eternal Salvation, and that is through Jesus Christ. Not by a Church, Not by good works, not by being a good ol’ boy. Only by Jesus Christ and by Accepting him as your personal Saviour. 

As to Rev. Wrights weak defense to to that Doctrine, which was:

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. (John 10:16 KJV)

What that was referring to, were other converts that Christ had met along the way, in other cites and the like, not of other gods or anything of that Nature. That is one of the weakest defenses of the liberal universalist doctrine out there. 

Okay, enough Bible study for one day…. I hope that I explained this where everyone can understand it.

Michelle Malkin strikes a nerve………again

Not good to tick your base off, Michelle! Winking

I hate to say it, but I do agree with her. I think this crap here, is totally wrong.

My feelings about the Roman Catholic Church aside, (I’m Fundamental Baptist)  I think the Church needs to be about the business of the Church and should keep it’s nose out of the affairs of the Government.

Like the Pope speaking at the United Nations, what the hell is up with that? Isn’t there a thing called the Separation of Church and State? Was not that a major and flagrant violation of the 501c3 Statue in this country?

Of course, we all know that the Catholic Church gets a free pass, which is pretty funny considering, we fought like hell to get away from it’s iron first rule, when we fled to this country and away from Great Britain.

Of course, hearing Michelle Malkin use the word, "Elitist" is quite humorous. Is she trying out for Lou Dobbs Position? Hee heeWinkingBig Grin

A Video, that everyone needs to watch…

I think everyone needs to watch this:

It’s pretty scary, but all true.

A new Progressive Jewish PAC

(via Huffington Post)

Video:

Quote:

At last, at long last. There will be a hard money lobby in Washington that represents progressives on Israel/Palestine issues, that lobbies for Israeli/Palestinian peace, that acts as a counterweight to AIPAC.

(Snip!)

Unlike the existing groups, this group will actually support candidates for office.

Right now, they are taking nominations for who they should support in the fall. Make the best case that your favored candidate will work to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace. That’s exactly the dynamic we need: candidates competing to do the most to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace, as opposed to competing to do the opposite.

There is no time like the present. This week, former President Carter is meeting with the exiled leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshal, in Syria. As Carter has said, "There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that, if Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors, the Palestinians, that Hamas will have to be included in the process."

Of course, as the Washington Post notes, it will be the case for the foreseeable future that AIPAC will have more money and more people.

But that misses the fact that those with less money can have more influence when they are telling the truth, if they can just muscle their way to the microphone.

While I must agree with the content of this video, the rhetoric used by those on the far right, is not what the majority of the main stream America believes. 

On the other hand, the idea that Jimmy Carter met with a convicted terrorist living in exile, totally burns my boots. Hamas is a terrorist organization, and anyone who meets with them, supports that mentality. Sorry Liberals, I don’t believe there is any way anyone, who claims to be Pro-American, could go and meet with someone, who is against the values that America stands for, and supports Islamic rule.  Sorry, I don’t buy the diplomacy line.

For all we know, Hamas helped fund the Sept 11’th attacks in America.

Of course, not everyone is convinced. See here and here.

Obama says, "Ooops."

Update: In Fairness to the man, here is what was said…..:

 

 

Honestly the only people freaking out about this, are the Far Right Wing Conservatives and the Hillary supporters. Which I think is stupid, did he insult people? No. Did he possibly say something in a bad manner? Yes. But people are acting like he just insulted the damn pope or something! Which I think speaks volumes for the people insulted, if you ask me. and that last part, that some people are going ape over, was, in fact, a joke. I think some turban headed pundits, need to find something else to bitch about. Things must be slow over there at a well known, pseudo-Conservative Blog, and they’re now grasping at straws. No wonder Preston left. Rolling Eyes

 

It appears that Senator Obama is now eating crow. Here’s the story via the AP, which comes in via Yahoo:

 

The Article: Obama concedes remarks were ill chosen (via AP/ Yahoo! News)

Democrat Barack Obama on Saturday conceded that comments he made about bitter working class voters who "cling to guns or religion" were ill chosen, as he tried to stem a burst of complaints that he is condescending.

 

"I didn’t say it as well as I should have," he said at Ball State University.

Here is the Video:

 

 

And…. of course, Senator Hillary Clinton felt the need, that she just HAD to pile on.

 

 

Quote:

 

As he tried to quell the furor, presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton hit Obama with one of her lengthiest and most pointed criticisms to date.

 

"Senator Obama’s remarks were elitist and out of touch," she said, campaigning about an hour away in Indianapolis. "They are not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans."

 

I got news for you lady, there is a quite a few things that I could say about YOU being out of touch with the rest of America.  However, because I do not wish to sit here and get into a dissertation about your Husband’s Presidency, I shall refrain, but let me just say this here, that "out of touch" stuff goes both ways Hillary. You know it and your feckless Husband knows it.

Just Words, Part 2

As if we needed anymore proof that this man was a hater.

obama10b Comes this Revelation, from The Politico, who saw it on Huffington Post.

Quoting Barry:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Not a smart way to endear yourself to the people, Barry!

I got a feeling that this is going to be all over the media come the weekend or next week. I think he won’t get PA, that’s for sure.

Why? Because it smells of Elitism, which does not go over well, with the Working class, in PA, Detroit, MI, and other major cities were working class folk live. Plus his comments about Guns and Religion tend to alienate people that support the Second Amendment and Christians, plus people who want our borders security.

Republicans Reportedly "transitioning" away from the FISA Telecom Immunity fight….

Glenn Greenwald Reports that The Hill is reporting the following:

I’m still traveling and so have only a little bit of time to comment, but The Hill is reporting that the GOP is de-prioritizing their efforts to enact the Rockefeller/Cheney FISA bill:

"House Republicans are poised to shift their focus from national security to the economy, hoping to rally opposition to what they claim are Democratic plans to raise taxes amid the economic downturn.

 

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is expected to announce Thursday that the House GOP floor emphasis will transition away from passing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and earmark reform to "stop the tax hike.""

I tend to think that the Republicans, at least the ones in the Senate realize that they are not going to win this fight and that it could cost them some serious votes in the coming election. So, I tend to think they’ve changed their priorities. 

 

Unlike some of the more of the ardent Right Wingers or as the rest of the World calls them, the Right Wing Lunatic Fridge, I know that if these companies get immunity, America’s Justice system would be totally undermined. Now, do I believe that the Bush Administration broke the law? I do not know that, as I have zero proof of such claim. 

 

My feelings are, if the Bush Administration has done nothing wrong, then what do they have to hide? If they’ve done nothing wrong, they should not have a problem with the investigations or lawsuit, because they would be vindicated.

 

Unlike some of the more far right Conservatives, I do not believe that Corporate power should be protected. Every American, of any Religious persuasion, and yes, that does include Muslim, have the right to legal recourse, if they feel that they’ve been unfairly investigated. That is one of our Nation’s founding principles.
