All Democrat politicians have the Democrat Party as their religion. They may go to a catholic Mass, but when it comes down to the Nitty Gritty they will go with the Party.

God may reward their prayers or not, but the party is guaranteed to give them what they want if they are in power.

Joe Biden’s religion: Unknown. Same with the O.

Well, communist "Black Liberation Theology" is not actually a legit religion, but...

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
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."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]

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.

In all my years, I had never seen quite a snake as the one I saw in Alinsky when I began to discover more about who he was.

In 2009, I had been trying to figure out a way to obtain a copy of “Rules for Radicals” because it is the bible followed by Obama and his associates. I had been trying to get it without paying for it, and the copies at the library were backordered for months. To my surprise, one finally came in after about a six month delay.

When I was about a third of the way through “Rules for Radicals”, I concluded that reading it tells you everything you need to know about the people who profess to follow it as a bible, especially the ones pushing the legislation we have seen in the last four years.

The book explains a lot. And none of it is good.

I am big into audiobooks, and I was going to dictate the entire "Rules for Radicals" and make an audiobook out of it to give to my close associates, who, like me, don’t want a single red cent to go to anyone associated with writing, printing or distributing that hideous work. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I couldn’t stomach hearing myself read it in a way that would make it easier on the ears to listen to (To put the inflection in the right places means you have to read it as if you believe it, and I gave up after one chapter.)

It is probably one of the most amoral, twisted works I have ever read. Given that Alinsky wrote a dedication to Lucifer, I shouldn’t be surprised. The dedication was taken out of later editions so as not to offend the clergy he was attempting to recruit, but the version I read had it. Apparently, it was a copy from the 1980's, and they figured it was safe to put it back in. Some Freepers didn't believe that Alinsky had actually written that dedication since it wasn't in their copy, so I posted this picture:

From what I can see, reading that book enables one to understand what makes Obama (and his devoted followers) tick.

The very FIRST paragraph exposes very clearly what they are all about:
"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. 'The Prince' was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. 'Rules for Radicals' is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away."

It is unrestricted class warfare, pure and simple. And it is the bible of Obama and his like-minded followers.

That is the essence of the observation...they will pay lip service, but when it comes to policy, God comes second.

It’s a trick question: Joe Biden has no soul.

He’s a typical cafeteria Catholic: He quite honestly believes in abortion for all 9 months and also after if the newly born baby is “unwanted.” No doubt about that.

For any and all Catholics who believe in any abortion at any time, they have to believe in infanticide . . . call it anything else you want . . . it’s still murder of an unborn infant . . . no matter how you cut it.

He and any other pro-death democrat should be publicly excommunicated immediately.

The Catholic church has shown itself to be spineless in these matters.

Joe is what is called a “Sunday morning Catholic”.

They spend Monday through Friday breaking the 10 commandments at will.

Saturday they go to the confessional.

Sunday they take communion.

Sunday night they go back to plundering and pillaging.

Quote from a former pastor:

“I don’t know how any Christian can go to church on Sunday and vote for a democrat on Tuesday.”

He hasn't a brain either.

If Biden leaves it to his personal belief he would vote for pro life candidates vs pro abortion candidates. That would be a loop hole. Obama would not be someone he could vote for. That would be consistent with his conscious a Democrat and faithful catholic

Thanks...it is sad, though. WE know who he is, but the vast majority of Americans have no idea who this guy is, and the influence his twisted views have had on many of the people who are currently running this government, Obama and Clinton just to name two.

But hey, we know, and that is always a start!

“The next Person that tells me I’m not religious, I’m going to shove my rosary beads up their a$$.” Joe Biden

This pretty well explains it all.
