Stumble It!
Well, considering the fact that his candidacy has pretty much imploded because of his association with one racist pastor, Jeremiah Wright, it was only appropriate, and expected, that the ObaMessiah would come out with a speech to denounce, renounce, disown, or whatever words you can think of, to try to save his sorry ass! Does anyone believe him, other than the kool-aid drinkers?
Here's part of what he said today:
"...it has only been in the last couple of weeks that the discussion of race in this campaign has taken a particularly divisive turn."
Gee..I wonder why? Yes..he does state that race has been injected earlier in this campaign stating it has been said HE was either "too black," "too white," "not black enough," or "not white enough," and included some of the off-handed statements made by Slick Willie. But, seriously, just why has it turned particularly divisive this past week? Could it have something to do with the fact that his mentor of the past 20 years has requested that God damned this country of ours? Is it the fact that the pastor who married he and his wife calls this great country the "KKK of A?" or..is it the fact that the pastor who baptised his children blames "the rich white man" for all the ills of the "black man?" Hmmm...so..what else to Borat..er um, Barack have to say?....
"On one end of the spectrum, we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it’s based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap. On the other end, we’ve heard my former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation; that rightly offend white and black alike."
You don't say? Was there anything else oh great one?
"I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely – just as I’m sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed."
Okay..you say you condemned those statements..but..wait..back the truck up..didn't you say that you never personally heard the reverend make such inflammatory statements? Didn't you go on the Hannity show just last week and emphatically deny knowing your pastor was this divisive and denied knowing that he made comments like this? Really? And, now you are admitting it? I thought you were supposed to be about "CHANGE?" Well, with your denials and now admittances..I would say you are just the same old politics as usual! You are just more of the same thing! The only CHANGE that you are about is changing the social policies of this great country to ensure income redistribution occurs, to tax the rich and give to the poor, to add more entitlement programs, to implement the "Black Value System" across this multi-colored country!
Now..what do you have to say about that?
Read The Whole Thing!
Given my background, my politics, and my professed values and ideals, there will no doubt be those for whom my statements of condemnation are not enough. Why associate myself with Reverend Wright in the first place, they may ask? Why not join another church?
Sure..we're all asking that...well?
"And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions – the good and the bad – of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.
I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – ...
...These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love."
Okay..so..there we have it. You say you denounce the man and what he preaches..but you will not distance yourself from him. You are a hypocrit Mr. Obama and you do not deserve the highest position of leadership in this country. If you can't denounce and distance yourself the evil from your own pastor when you see it, how can we trust you to denounce evil from abroad when it affects every man, woman, and child in this country? You are not trustworthy, nor honest. You are a deceitful man looking out only for yourself and the "Black Value System."
You have been intertwined with this hateful speech and hateful racist fear monger of a pastor for 20 years to the point you can't even truly see it. If you did, you would disown this man! You would disown this church! You would stand up on the highest mountain and point out the evil that it is! But, since you can't do this for America in the name of unity, you can't have the Presidency either! Hypocrit!
Oh..was there something else?
"Some will see this as an attempt to justify or excuse comments that are simply inexcusable."
You got that one right! The phrase "political expediency" comes to mind right now.
"The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we’ve never really worked through – a part of our union that we have yet to perfect. And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American."
Wait..didn't you mean "every BLACK American?" Afterall, that has been what your social policies have been about. That has been what every vote in the Illinois State Senate and the U.S. Senate has been about. You haven't voted for anything that was simply American! You have voted for allowing ILLEGAL immigrants to enter and stay in this country without registering. You have voted against giving our military the money, arms, and supplies they need in Iraq and Afghanistan. You have voted against providing our President with the necessary domestic surveillance tools he needs to fight terrorism in this country. You voted against the Roberts supreme court nomination. In fact, you voted against everything this country needs right now to secure it from socialism, communism, and terrorism. Nope..you can't be my President.
"A lack of economic opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration that came from not being able to provide for one’s family, contributed to the erosion of black families – a problem that welfare policies for many years may have worsened. And the lack of basic services in so many urban black neighborhoods – parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement – all helped create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt us."
No shit sherlock. You find all these blighted areas in cities and states that are controlled by Democrats! You want economic opportunities for the black men...stop enslaving them into entitlement programs. Stop putting them in the welfare lines and give them the self-esteem by encouraging them to get an education and work for a living! Again..same common theme..Black Men and Black Families.
Stop electing Democrats into leadership positions and maybe you might see these areas turn around! Don't blame Republicans for the lack of basic services! Blame the Democrats you guys elected who instituted so many freakin entitlement programs and taxed the citizens to no end that a.) employers left the cities to find more business friendly communities, b.) spent all the money to the point where the city has gone bankrupt, c.) spent so much money on entitlement programs and failed to put it back into the infrastructure, and d.) that your citizens left because there were no more jobs which reduced your tax base which reduced your revenues which in turn reduced the budget that required cuts from those basic services.
Okay..but..that still doesn't say anything about the racist reverend. Do you have anything more to say about him?
"And occasionally it finds voice in the church on Sunday morning, in the pulpit and in the pews. The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright’s sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning. That anger is not always productive; indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition, and prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change. But the anger is real; it is powerful; and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races."
Really? I grew up in the Army. I travelled all across this country as well as Europe. I have been to Baptist, Episcopalian, Protestant, Catholic, and Lutheran Churches everywhere and have never ever ever heard hate being preached in any one of them. I have only heard the word of God and to love they neighbor! Again, more proof that you have been indoctrinated by this hate and can't see it for what it is!
Nuff' said. I can see you for who you really are. You too are a racist just like your mentor of 20 years. Your wife is a racist just as you and your pastor of 20 years are. Your children, if they aren't already, going to be racists just as you, your wife, and your "crazy-uncle" reverend. I just hope everyone else can see through this charade of a speech!
After you're done reading this..Check it out over at the Rottie to see what B.C. has to say about it also!
