Back during the 2008 campaign, the noos media
and Obama supporters (Yes, I know – redundant.) and even Obama himself made all
sorts of excuses for his attending the “church” and preaching of one Jeremiah
Wright . . . for 20 years.
Now Obama frequently attends St. John’s Church,
Episcopalian of course, near the White House. And on Easter Sunday guess what sort of preaching he heard
from its rector, Luis Leon?
“It
drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling us
back, back, back,” Leon sermonized. “For blacks to be back in the back of the
bus, for women to be back in the kitchen, for gays to be in the closet, and for
… immigrants to be on their side of the border.”
Again, Obama chooses to attend this “church”
frequently. As was the case with Jeremiah Wright, this is the sort of preaching
Obama chooses to attend. And try
as he and his supporters might at times, there is no getting around that.
Now one may say this is a free country with
freedom of religion. The President
and anybody else may attend whatever preaching they choose. That is their decision. And that is certainly true.
But let’s turn this around.
Let’s say a Republican President frequently
attends Washingtonboro Baptist Church.
And on Easter he hears a similarly absurd smear of the religious left.
Yes, one has to let his imagination run wild to
come up with a smear as absurd as saying “the captains of the religious right”
want to bring back segregation, take away job opportunities from women,
etc. But stay with me here.
So let’s say the hypothetical Easter sermon
says the leaders of the religious left are actually demons. And they want to take away your guns
and give them to transvestites, illegal aliens, and space aliens, too. And they want to bring back
concentration camps and send all faithful Christians to them.
And having heard said sermon, the Republican
President afterward shakes the preacher’s hand and walks smilingly back to the
White House as if nothing untoward had happened, with not a word disavowing the
sermon.
There would be widespread outrage and rightly
so.
So where is the outrage about Obama willingly
attending the kind of divisive lying hateful preaching that he does?
