I wanted some of that "hate whitey" stuff to bring home...
Here is the truth. These people are not worshiping God. They are worshipping thir culture. Nothing more. The former will hear one day well done good and faithful servant. The latter will hear depart from me I never knew you. Rev. Wright is totally about the worship of his own culture.
Not to worry. Barry'll do it. Or else:
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright delivered a rousing sermon Monday to open a three-day revival at St. Paul AME Church in Macon.
Wright, the former pastor of President-elect Barack Obama, found himself embroiled in controversy early this year for making what some called derogatory comments about the United States government’s handling of blacks, Indians and other minority groups.
At St. Paul Monday night, Wright had the congregation shouting, singing, shuffling and laughing as he delivered a rousing opening sermon to a nearly packed sanctuary.
And Wright stuck mostly to the scriptures and the story of Jesus restoring the blind man’s sight in Jericho. That happened, Wright said, because the man had faith and called on Jesus for help.
But Wright did take a couple of shots at his favorite targets, the media and President George Bush. Wright said the President started a war with Iraq, a country that didn’t have anything to do with 9-11the terrorists attacks on the United States.
Bush triggered the war alleging Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. But Wright pointed out that no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq.
“The media is lying. The economy is dying and Bush ain’t even trying,” Wright said.
Macon Mayor Robert Reichert and a few members of council, including Elaine Lucas and Rabbi Larry Schlesinger, attended the services. During singing, Reichert and Schlesinger shuffled and clapped along with the congregation. Reichert appeared to be singing, although not loud.
During his introduction of Wright, the Rev. Ronald Slaughter, senior pastor at St. Paul, cautioned the congregation that recording devices and cameras were not permitted during Wright’s sermon.
“This is not a political rally,” Slaughter said. “Some folks came to hear the word of the Lord.”
Later, Wright himself picked up on that, saying the media and others have said unflattering things about Wright.
“But you didn’t come here for the gossip, you came for the gospel,” Wright said.
He also cautioned the congregation about being envious or jealous of their neighbors. The Lord may have blessed the neighbors, Wright said, and the blessings could spill over to you.
“If the Lord has blessed your neighbor, that means he’s in the neighborhood,” Wright said.
Outside St. Paul’s on Shurling Drive, a handful of protesters carried signs that read “Wright is Wrong.” They also chanted, “God Bless America”, apparently turning around a sound bite from a Wright sermon in which Wright said, “God damn America.”
During the presidential campaign, that sound bite was used to link Wright with President-elect Obama. Critics used the comments to question Obama’s patriotism for being a member of a church where the pastor blasted the country.
The revival resumes at 7 p.m. Tuesday when Wright delivers his second sermon of the week. The revival is scheduled to run through Wednesday night.
Only in Wright's version, once the beggar saw that Jesus was white, he gouged his own eyes out rather than have been healed by a White Man.
The MSM would NOT be charmed if someone threw their shoes at Rev. Wright...
It still staggers the imagination that a Barack could be elected with a Wright association. It really has gone beyond the traditional political struggle between Republicans and Democrats, but sanity versus insanity.
Anyone calling such a man a “spiritual guide” or “mentor” (MENTOR!!!!!!!) (SPIRITUAL GUIDE!!!!!!!) being elected to the highest office in the world, has me bolting awake with a frightened gasp.
I transpose some of the crazy reverend Wright’s ideas to my country. It helps to understand how crazy they are. “The Lombards invented Aids to kill the Sicilians!” from a pulpit!!! And the local equivalent of Barack Obama, Barccolo Obamini even brings his bambini (his children) to hear that stuff... and even donates his Lire (50 million Old Lire)... and then when caught, denies he ever heard anything inappropriate.
