Remember the reaction of the people in the pews at Trinity Church
when they heard what Rev. Wright had to say. Remember how they reacted
with the frenzy of teenage girls at a cute "Boy Band" concert. We
haven't heard much about them, have we? I am a Catholic. Fr. Michael
Pfleger is a Catholic Priest and I am as ashamed of him as I am of the
priests involved in the child abuse cases in our country.
The people of Trinity Church, Barack Obama's erstwhile church, were
on their feet when Wright said, "God Damn America!" They were also on
their feet when Fr. Pfleger said that Hillary Clinton believed that it
was her right as a white American to get the nomination. Isn't the fact
that these congregants were patently Un-American by their agreement
with and their obvious jubilation at what was said by those two errant
preachers? Why doesn't anyone condemn them? More importantly why didn't
Obama say that he was leaving the church because it was spreading hate
that was catching on among the congregation? Instead, here is what
Obama said: "I'm not denouncing the church and I'm not interested in
people who want me to denounce the church... The church has been
suffering from the attention my campaign has focused on them... I know
it's the right thing to do for the church...."
What he should have said is: "Most American people are offended by
what was preached, routinely, in this church. Most Americans are
offended by the reaction of the congregation to this offensive,
anti-American language. I am resigning in deference to the opinions of
these patriotic Americans, because I too, value their sentiments and I
too love and honor our country and everything it stands for, and I am
just as offended by what Rev. Wright had to say."
Instead, we got double-speak.
Good old fashioned political double-speak. You heard it from him. If
you were offended, as I was, not by what was spoken by the two idiot
preachers (it's easy to dismiss what is said by idiots seeking
attention) but by the reaction of the congregation, then it's time to
think about Obama's reaction to this church. It time realize that he is
not interested in you if your were offended. He's not interested in you
if you wanted him to condemn his former church. Think about how he
resigned from this church. Think about the spin you heard from him.
Think about how Obama is a run-of-the-mill politician, after all. Come
to the realization that the man who was going to rise about all this
mundane political behavior didn't manage to do that. Realize that the
Democrat Messiah really has feet of clay.....
