In a backyard in Albuquerque, New Mexico yesterday, President Barack Hussein Obama (peace be unto him) answered an obviously planted question by pontificating on the reasons he became a Christian as an adult, telling a group of hand-picked residents in attendance that he was a “Christian by choice” and that “the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead – being my brother and sister’s keeper.”

That’s why his brother lives in a hut in Kenya, making $12 a month, and his aunt’s living in Boston, illegally until recently, on welfare, while his mansion sits empty in Chicago.

Obama, who has been questioned about his claim to be a Christian, gave a lengthy dissertation on his “faith”:

I’m a Christian by choice. My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead. Being my brothers and sisters’ keeper, treating others as they would treat me, and I think also understanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we’re sinful and we’re flawed and we make mistakes and we achieve salvation through the grace of God.

Becoming a Christian isn’t like joining the Moose Club , Mr. President.

But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day.

Yet, he said that as president, he also:

…deeply believes that part of the bedrock strength of this country is that it embraces people of many faiths and of no faith.

Is that why you slipped up and mentioned …”your Muslim faith” a couple of years ago, Mr. President?

For 20 years, Mr. President, you sat under the teachings of Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the Trinity United Church of Christ .  Let’s look at the background of Rev. Wright, shall we?

What most people do not know is that Reverend Jeremiah Wright was a Muslim  and a Black Nationalist before he became the founding pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, a Black Liberation Theology Church.

The rest, you already know.  To sum Rev. Jeremiah Wright up:

• Longtime pastor and spiritual mentor of Barack Obama
• Considers the U.S. to be a nation rife with racism and discrimination
• Blames American racism for provoking the 9/11 attacks
• “Islam and Christianity are a whole lot closer than you may realize,” he has written. “Islam comes out of Christianity.”
• Embraces liberation theology and socialism
• Strong supporter of Louis Farrakhan
• Likens Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to South Africa’s treatment of blacks during the apartheid era

But, what is Black Liberation Theology? 

The chief architect of black liberation theology was James Cone, author of Black Theology and Black Power. One of the tasks of this movement, according to Cone, is to analyze the nature of the gospel of Jesus Christ in light of the experience of blacks who have long been victimized by white oppressors. According to black liberation theology, the inherent racism of white people precludes them from being able to recognize the humanity of nonwhites; moreover, their white supremacist orientation allegedly results in the establishment of a “white theology” that is irrevocably disconnected from the black experience. Consequently, liberation theologians contend that blacks need their own, race-specific theology to affirm their identity and their worth.

“What we need,” says Cone, “is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of Black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.” Observing that America was founded for white people, Cone calls for “the destruction of whiteness, which is the source of human misery in the world.” He advocates the use of Marxism as a tool of social analysis to help Christians to see “how things really are.”

Another prominent exponent of black liberation theology is the Ivy League professor Cornel West, who calls for “a serious dialogue between Black theologians and Marxist thinkers” — a dialogue that centers on the possibility of “mutually arrived-at political action.”

By the way, did you know that Senator Obama was opposed to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which would wind up passing unopposed in the U.S. Senate?

From Jill Stankek:

BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother’s right to “choose” stopped at her baby’s delivery.

The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the House. NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.

But in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left.

I testified in 2001 and 2002 before a committee of which Obama was a member.

Obama articulately worried that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women’s rights or abortionists’ rights. Obama’s clinical discourse, his lack of mercy, shocked me. I was naive back then. Obama voted against the measure, twice. It ultimately failed.

In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion clinics.

Matthew 23:25 (Whole Chapter)
[For Matthew 23:25-28, Matthew 15:11-20 ] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For [Luke 11:39, 40 ] you clean the outside of [Mark 7:4 ] the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of [Luke 16:14; 20:47] greed and self-indulgence.

Hurry up, November 2nd!  I pray that Americans make this guy a lame duck for 2 years.
