Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul’s foreign policy outlook isn’t so dissimilar to that of President Obama’s long-time pastor and mentor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, says Washington Post editorial writer Charles Lane.
On “Fox News Sunday,” Lane made the ideological connection between Paul and Wright, who claimed after the 9/11 attacks that “America’s chickens” had come home to roost.
“Well, I think one of the amazing things that this all shows that this is the Republican Party might be about to crown the winner of the Iowa caucuses, somebody with the foreign policy views of Jeremiah Wright,” Lane said. “Remember that? I mean, Ron Paul goes around blaming the United States for 9/11, etc., etc. So it is obvious he’s not going to be the nominee.”
According to Lane, a Paul win in Iowa would likely knock Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum out of the presidential race, since they’re so vested in the outcome of the Iowa caucuses.

Ron Paul is foolish; Jeremiah Wright hates.
Jeremiah Wright is a Christian. Ron Paul may be a Muslim.
Oh sure, and I'm the Pope.
Doesn’t that make him Presidential?

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine

FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]
(some key excerpts)
["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."

JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.
I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."
REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."
SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008
In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004
In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Tonight on the radio the evening host had a fake ad:
“This broadcast is brought to you by Mrs. Paul’s Fish Sticks. Crusty on the outside, flaky on the inside. Mrs. Ron Paul’s Fish Sticks.” I was laughing so hard I nearly hit the center divider.
Seen from abroad, the orchestrated campaign against Ron Paul is pretty shocking. He’s insane, a racist and now he shares the same foreign policy views as Jeremiah Wright - when perhaps Thomas Jefferson (no forign entanglements) would be closer to the truth. What’s this need to demonize? Why don’t they just debate the issues? It’s obvious the man loves America and hates big Govt. For his position on the FED alone, he deserves more respect. All the other candidates were either sleeping or on the take when he was warning about the incestuous relationship between Big Money and Dirty Politics. That doesn’t mean he’s right on everything or should be elected, but it does mean that he doesn’t deserve to be demonized and likened to a Chicago Thug Preacher.
I agree with you. The HATE from the ‘right’ regarding RP looks and smells like the same crap spewed by the Fabian left. It’s despicable! This is what Statism looks like and the 2 headed D-Rat Party will never change anything in this ever oppressive government...yet the drones scream RP is a Demon!
Yes. The GOParty hacks and RINOs fear RP because he will cut up their credit card to squanderour wealth.
Newt Romney are NWO types
If this is true because Wright claims it's so, without taking apparent actions that one can discern, then I'm formally declaring myself a multi-millionaire and going on a shopping spree.
BINGO. the party hacks prefer socialism lite to someone actually looking to end the charade.
I think the establishment is more worried about Ron Paul, than about Gingrich.
And they certainly are worried about Gingrich.
My opinion of Paul rises the more the establishment tries to smear him.
Same with Gingrich. Though the smears against Gingrich seem to be from Romney. The wider establishment is after Paul.
No it’s not orchestrated... there’s no MSM playing Republicans like a fiddle. And anyway what’s the big deal? Ron Paul’s foreign policy has a few things in common with Jeremiah Wright... when legs were tingling with hope and change for the Democrat who had that same sage Black Supremecist as his spiritual advisor for twenty years.
Nothing orchestrated, nothing to look at.
Smear campaign. But maybe you’re too close to see it. And the whole election is gradually shifting into negative territory, where the actual issues get lost by the wayside.
The two big issues are Government (size and scope - meaning spending) and foreign policy - meaning ALSO and undeniably UNintended consequences. And there have undeniably been many. Are they worth the cost in blood and treasure? What’s the ultimate goal? Democracy in the middle east? Maintaining the status quo? Lots of inconclusive wars?
I wouldn’t even be for Ron Paul, but he’s not a madman, crackpot, racist... he’s a legitimate candidate with a legitimate following and with opinions that need to be discussed.
Concerning the FED in particular, this man whom many are now calling mad, was spot on - while everyone else was sleeping or on the take.
Unless the other candidates state what their foreign policy end game is... none is credible.
The foreign policy of the Obama regime is to take down secular dictators to replace them with Islamic extremists.
