Like Black Liberation Theology is a perverted and wholly misconstrued marxist construct and charictature of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, so will Obama's faith initiative be the same.

Senator Obama has announced that he intends to create a Council For Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
Having been privileged to give some advance guidance for this worthy idea, it is exciting to watch it become part of the public record.
An old idea talked about by George W. Bush and even "his thousand points of light" father?
Well, yes, talked about; but by the writing of Bush's own staff, regrettably, not done. Obama says he's different and this will be a "critical part of his administration." The proof will be in the doing, of course, but this much is plain: Senator Obama has direct experience. He has personally rolled up his sleeves as a community organizer to meet the needs of the unemployed in south Chicago, for example.
The incumbent administration raised expectations only to have them disappointed by tax cuts for the wealthiest families and funding cuts for the poorest; by conducting faith-based conferences that seemed more for friends of the Republican Party than those in need; and by issuing executive orders and directives deliberately calculated to raise unnecessary constitutional clash between church and state.
With great disappointment, the Bush efforts yielded division and acrimony rather than unity and understanding.
Why won't the same happen with Senator Obama?

Doug Kmiec drank the Obama Kool-aid. How someone who calls himself a conservative and devout Catholic can support and promote the most pro-abortion candidate in our nation’s history is unfathomable. I expect that from the “cafeteria Catholics” in the Democrat party - but Mr. Kmiec is on his way to joining David Brooks as an “ex-conservative” (and maybe and ex-Catholic).
I really resent his support of Obama because it is giving cover to many Cafeteria Catholics who love to vote Dem. He is doing Satan’s work here, IMO. there is no explanation for this unless he has just literally lost his mind.
He’s “different” all right.
1 minute satirical Obama video here:

Hurry before some diversity loving (RIGHT!) Obamaniac at YouTube pulls it.
Who’s this “we,” kemosabe? *I* have an obligation to serve the least of the Lord’s brothers, including Barack Obama, if that death-eating Marxist turned up on my doorstep hungry, thirsty, cold, or bleeding to death.
Which “faith-based partnership” will run Barack’s live-birth abortion centers, Doug? The United Church of Christ?

You can be a stanch Catholic and a democrat, but you can not be a staunch Catholic and radical pro-abortion. Obama as a state senator voted present (no in reality) on bills that protected babies born after surviving an abortion attempt.
Not supposed to call someone a fool, however Doug is GULLIBLE AS HELL!!
Hey Dougie.....POOR people pay NO INCOME TAXES PER GEORGE BUSH!!! They have no stake anymore in how high the taxes go, therefore they WANT higher taxes on everyone else!
Yup. Kmiec is the next Andrew Sullivan.
DOUG....why do you think that Bishops have said that Catholics who support abortion candidates should NOT RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION!!!! Are you receiving HOLY COMMUNION, DOUG????

Doug Kmiec attends daily Mass and can hardly be called a “cafeteria Catholic.” But I do find his Obama support unfathomable, and will ask him about it.
It takes TWO to unify and understand, George Bush held out his hand across the isle and had it slapped away under a storm of verbal abuse the likes of which this country has not seen in a hundred years.
"Which “faith-based partnership” will run Barack’s live-birth abortion centers, Doug? The United Church of Christ?"
I thought I'd excerpt what you said, and then --- "Oh hell, I'll just quote the whole thing."
Well said, Tax-chick. Well said.
Mmmm.. so when GWB promoted his 'faith-based initiatives' the liberal elite accused him of violating the separation of church and state. Now that Oblama is hawking his brand watch the elites fawn all over him and herald what a true healer and visionary he is...
Also Dougie....Obama is for Gay MARRIAGE??? Do you like that also???
AMEN!!!!!! On EVERYTHING Bush has tried to make nice and they have SPIT in his face!!! VILE.
Thank you very much! At least I was brief, so your restatement didn’t kill too many innocent electrons.
Maybe he should REALLY study the Bible and find out what it really teaches.
The Bible teaches more about aquiring wisdom than it does about giving away everything you own.
If people aquired wisdom, there would be little need for people to give away their things, in the manner the BO has in mind.
Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
Proverbs9:12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."
Proverbs 10:4 Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
5 He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
Proverbs 12:11 He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.
24 Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
27 The lazy man does not roast [b] his game, but the diligent man prizes his possessions
Proverbs 13:4 The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
16 Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly.
20 He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
21 Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.
Proverbs 14:1 The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.
23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
Proverbs 18: 15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out.
Proverbs1:1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight;
3 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young-
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance-
6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools [a] despise wisdom and discipline.
20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares;
21 at the head of the noisy streets [c] she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:
22 "How long will you simple ones [d] love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
23 If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you.
24 But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand,
25 since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you-
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me.
29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD,
30 since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm."
