Obama: I Have A Deep Faith (Obama Says That Fr. Pfleger Is A Moral Compass For Him
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 4/5/2004 | Cathleen Falsani

... Obama says he reads the Bible, though not as regularly as he'd like, now that he's on the campaign trail. But he does find time to pray.

"The biggest challenge, I think, is always maintaining your moral compass."

Friends and advisors, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church in the Auburn-Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass, he says.

Amazing. We have now seen tons of video of Pastors close to Obama and never once heard a word about the Gospel. None of these are Christians.

We can’t talk about Obama’s other racist pastor. Or his ears. Or his odd wife. Or his SUV. Or his loathing the military. Or his crazy uncle in the attic. Or ...

We had one of those. Father Sixties Radical who routinely berated everyone for not being a Marxist commie and living in a cardboard box like the poor people do, and varied his liberation theology with Superman costumes.

He’s retired. Finally.

Likely uses the Rev. Wright edition. In Genesis, it reads, The Black God created the Black Man and the Black Woman, in the image of the Black God created He/She them.” Only kidding, of course, but not by much.

Rev. Michael Pfleger, the politically active leader of St. Sabina Church. He gave Obama’s campaign $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, about three months after Obama announced $225,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs.

Pfleger said he made those donations personally, not on behalf of the church or to win grants.

“At a time when less people vote than ever, I don’t think pastors should be silent on politics,” Pfleger said.

Father Michael Pfleger however has gained notoriety for more than his embrace of Farrakhan, he also became infamous when at a rally with Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson, he threatened to “snuff” politicians who supported gun rights.

Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina’s Church, went way over the top this week. During a protest against Chuck’s Gun Shop, Father Pfleger twice threatened to “snuff out” the shop’s owner and threatened the same fate for legislators who oppose his position on gun control.

“We’re gonna find you and snuff you out,” Fleger said about the gun shop owner, likening the man to a “rat.” He later repeated his threat to “snuff out” the owner.

“We’re gonna snuff out legislators who are voting [garbled] against our gun laws and we’re coming for you because we are not going to sit idly.”

Obama doesn't believe he, or anyone else, will go to hell.

Barry is as thick as a brick wall.

Rev Michael Pfleger and teams of parishioners from St Sabina Church are using church funds and other contributions to pay prostitutes to talk about changing their lives, practice that raises concerns of Roman Catholic Church’s Chicago leaders.

I am now convinced that anyone willing to commit to making a living by spreading “hate whitey crap”, within the Black churches, could make absolute fortunes off of the idiots that pay to watch this tripe.

I have been to Biker parties that were more civilized than what these hateful fools call church.

Yet the biggest fool of all wants to be our president....no way in hell will Obamastupid ever be MY president.

Pull their tax-exempt status NOW.
