The Crown Jewel Of The Black Church?

Jeremiah Alvesta Wright, Jr., former Pastor and now Pastor Emeritus of the Trinity United Church of Christ; and, as we have all come to know, the Pastor of Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Obama sat under the sermonizing of Wright for twenty years, imbibing the African-Centered gospel of bigotry and sedition, otherwise known as Black Liberation Theology. Wright subscribes to an heretical theology that clothes hate and militancy in the guise of Christianity. Black Liberation Theology finds its foremost apostle in James Cone, an associate of Malcom X: who viewed Christianity as a white man's religion. Cone propounded a Marxist gospel of social, economic, and political "justice."  Justice being interpreted as equality of outcome, the equal distribution of wealth and the application of a social fairness doctrine. Wright is the theological offspring of Cone and propagates a perverse gospel which functions as a conduit for Marxist ideology. "A scarcely concealed, Marxist-inspired indictment of American capitalism pervades contemporary 'black-liberation theology'." (Stanley Kurtz, National Review) Today, Black Liberation Theology is recast euphemistically as African-Centered. Trinity United Church of Christ describes itself thus:

"The Center for African Biblical Studies is AFRICAN-CENTERED... seeking to implement and promote Bible Study from an African perspective."

“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian...our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and we remain “true to our native land”, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. 

It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation; and we constantly affirm our trust in God through the cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black community.”

It is in this milieu of Marxist ideology and racist indoctrination that we find Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Obama's shameless association with this church reaches back twenty years and defies any attempt at equivocation. Obama sat under the bloviating of Wright as he raged for the damnation of America and heaped accolades on rabid terrorists. It is a natural outgrowth of Wright's view of America as inherently racist and evil. Is it any wonder that Obama desires to spread the wealth around in furtherance of collectivist principals? He assumes the role of the authoritarian deliverer who has arrived on the scene to deliver the foundering proletariat from its economic and social oppressors. Obama is only being true to his theological progenitors and will, if freed from the fetters of public approbation, fully exercise himself toward the furtherance of the collectivist dystopia. After all, Obama describes Wright as "the best that the black church has to offer."

Obama: Closet Marxist?

Deep within the recesses of Barack Hussein Obama’s mind, shambling among moldering tomes lying scattered amid the fetid remains of an Ivy League education, moves a specter with indistinct form.  In the shadow other shapes dissemble; the wraith-like presence of the Reverend Wright; the hunched William Ayers, scribbling with malevolent intent.  But larger and more ominous still, slouches a form that flees from the light to find solace in inky shadow.  Close scrutiny resolves the form and reveals the bearded visage of Karl Marx.

During a rally on Sunday, Obama said, “I think when you spread the wealth around, its good for everybody.”  This statement may seem innocuous to some.  It may sound like a good idea to play Robin Hood and steal from the rich to give to the poor.  However, there is a price to pay for this brand of largess.  Karl Marx, in The Communist Manifesto, looked forward to a world in which "the proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise [sic] all instruments of production in the hands of the state." Marx also proposed the imposition of "a heavy progressive or graduated income tax" to accomplish his vision of wealth redistribution.  

Do I think that Barack Hussein Obama is a Communist? No.  However, based on his statements, I believe that Obama's economic policies are heavily influenced by Marxist principals.  These principals are antithetical to our Capitalist tradition.  A tradition of private property ownership and of private control of capital resources.  Obama's policies would undermine the economic principles which make our political freedoms possible.  Republics do not long survive under the weight of collectivist ideas.  Obama will lead us down the road, by degrees, toward an Americanized version of Marxism.  It's a friendly brand of socialism but no less a betrayal of our national heritage.  Obama's tax and spend policies are cut from the same old cloth that Democrats have used for decades.  The change that Obama proposes is a change that Karl Marx would have approved.    

"Let me put it this way: no serious person can deny that Marxist ideas had a profound impact on what we call liberalism. To point this out doesn't mean that one is calling, say, Barack Obama a Stalinist or a communist." (Jonah Goldberg, Liberal Fascism)
