Audacity of Truth

He’s baaaack: Obama’s spiritual mentor blasts Israel, America in hate-filled speech
Wonder how the more devoted Obama-droids will try to spin this one favorably for ol’ Rev. Wright:
The former pastor of Barack Obama drew thousands last week to the 8,000-member Empowerment Temple in Baltimore City. Overflow lots at the church were filled, and five blocks on either side of the massive stadium-like stucco building in Park Heights — a part of town where Orthodox Jews mix sometimes uneasily with blacks — were wall to wall with cars.
In this city where nearly 80,000 people left (along with 53,000 jobs) in the last decade, it’s easy to understand why his message resonates.
For Mr. Wright, however, subjugation is a universal truth. Even the president, in Mr. Wright’s mind, is not in control of his own destiny.
[…]
Mr. Wright spread the blame for black persecution around on lots of people and epochs. He hates Roman emperors for renaming months after themselves and upsetting their proper numerical order; Michelangelo for painting Jesus as white; U.S. public schools for teaching the American Revolution instead of African history. In particular, he hates the term “Middle East,” as it implies Europe as the center of the world.
And he hates Israel. “The state of Israel is an illegal, genocidal … place,” he said. “To equate Judaism with the state of Israel is to equate Christianity with [rapper] Flavor Flav.” Laughter erupted from the mostly female audience on that remark.
His solution: “We need to help African-Americans see they are just Africans born in another country.”
This could be achieved in part by requiring African-American students to study African history after school each day, just like Jewish children who receive a separate Hebrew education, he said. (Never mind that all of that education has not prevented cross-faith marriages and a weakening of the ties of successive generations to Judaism.)
And never mind that students today suffer not from an identity crisis but a lack of basic skills. Studies show student self-esteem at an all-time high. But at Baltimore City Community College, 80 percent of incoming students need remedial education. Statewide, public two- and four-year institutions report 56 percent of students going directly from high school to college need some form of remedial education in a state honored three years in a row as having the top public education system by Education Week.
Empowering the children of the Empowerment Temple to rise above their circumstances would mean fewer converts down the road, however. And it would shatter the myth of a black liberation theology that needs Baltimore and Detroit and other crumbling cities to exist in order to be relevant.
This parallels with the liberal philosophy, which needs the “victim class” in order to survive. The day when a majority of people in each various “victim” class no longer view themselves as “victims” who need liberal policies to “rescue” them will be the day that liberalism will officially become worthless, outdated, and irrelevant in America. For those of us who have already seen the light, that time came long ago. We’ve got a long way to go before convincing that majority that it’s more beneficial to view themselves as individuals who should be left alone to pave their own way in life versus seeing themselves as victims who need “help” from the government, but we must never give up that fight — because if we do and radical liberalism as defined by the Rev. Wrights and Barack Obamas and Al Gores “wins”, a free America as we know it will cease to exist.

Regardless of whether that region called the Middle East, I still think of Israel—Jerusalem, in particular—as the center of the world.
Yeah…I’m a Christian fundamentalist.
Barack and Michelle brought their children to this man’s ‘church’ to be indoctrinated into his hateful world view.
One thing Rev. Wright seems to forget is that “black” has nothing to do with it – people despise him for who he is – a small, angry imbecile who feels the need to poison the minds of others.
It’s a fight to reverse the trend, for sure. Unfortunately, the progressive machinery grinds on to produce the dependent class to counter the liberty of individualism a lot of these indoctrinated victims resist. They embrace the first part of the warning from Benjamin Franklin, and shrug off the last…
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
Optimistically speaking, I think over the past few months the trend has turned in our favor. It goes without saying that the future of our republic depends on it.
I wouldn’t even call Wright a “radical liberal.” His religion comes from Black Liberation Theology and his politics from Socialism (1); there’s nothing liberal about either.
Regardless, the guy is a schmuck.
(1) Obama’s too, for that matter.
Socialist?? F**k no, he wants YOU poor.
Not him.
I suppose he would like it better if Michelangelo had painted Jesus as a Jew? Then he could blast the painting because Jesus looked like a Jew, not the African he really was?
Phineas has it exactly correct: What a schmuck! (For those of you who don’t know exactly what the word means, ask a friend who speaks the language.)
It’s time for a Yiddish lesson. A schmuck is a penis.
It is often confused with a schlemiel, a jerk, a loser.
Wright is both. Weiner is also both. He showed his schmuck on twitter…what a schlemiel.
@Stan: Well! I’ve always known it as a put-down, but I wasn’t aware schmuck = putz, though. (Right?) I’m not Jewish, but I’ve always appreciated the Yiddish contributions to the vocabulary! :)
Wikipedia says that “In Jewish homes, the word was ‘regarded as so vulgar as to be taboo’[3] and Lenny Bruce wrote that saying it on stage got him arrested on the West Coast ‘by a Yiddish undercover agent who had been placed in the club several nights running to determine if my use of Yiddish terms was a cover for profanity.’”
I note that Urban dictionary definition #1 says it’s “[t]hat portion of one’s penis which is cut off during circumcision.” But that’s just U.D. Def#3 = penis.
Altogether, maybe we should just stick to weiner. Intentional misspelling. [Apologies to all good people with that name.] :D
I was really impressed with Wright’s house that he built.It is sooo over the top luxury,like the old caddies you had in the 70′s for pimps ,with white fur everywhere and gaudy color schemes to match. This guy is filthy rich and that’s why the other “elites” go to him.He makes Al Gore look like an apprentice.It is far easier to get someone to notice you by shouting derogatory language than to speak the truth quietly.That’s all he wants…attention.(Obama also needs attention).Just like the African President Mugabe (his father).
A short note off topic.
I read that when the Obama Admin took over GM they removed,abolished the pension of 20,000 workers that were not in the union. Is that legal,or did it not happen.Thankyou.
Grumpy:
I think this is what you’re thinking of: http://is.gd/S0iZd2
And yes, it stinks.
Who in this admin would care if it was legal or not, captain? And don’t even go near whether it was ethical. The administration couldn’t care less about either of those seeming problems, knowing such considerations are only for chumps and suckers.
