'President Obama's' 'Neoliberal Theocracy'

Topics: Political News and commentaries

We're talking about really scary stuff here:

(Via American Thinker) ... The social gospel of an Obama presidency could be traced back to the race-based class dialectic of the black liberation theology movement. That movement emerged as the theological wing of the broader Black Power movement of the late 1960's - early 1970's. Among a constellation of groups and personalities representing Black Power were: the 1968 Olympic Black Power salute; the Black Panthers; Malcolm X; Bobby Seale; the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee ("snick"), etc.

... Black liberation theology forms the core identity of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ (UCC) - Obama's home church for two decades. Today, that congregation espouses a Black Value System. It reflects the movement's class dialectic that remains unabashedly race-based. The black values concept was first introduced by one of the founders of the black liberation theology movement, Dr. James H. Cone, in Black Theology & Black Power (© 1969, Harper & Row, 1969, p.127).

It only gets worse. There's that speech he gave in which he said, "I believed and still believe in the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change." And let's not forget, as pointed out in the above-linked piece, the last president to flirt with conducting foreign policy from a theological perspective was Jimmy Carter.

Like I said, we're talkin' really scary stuff here, which leads us to question how it is that the Democratic Party and the media allowed this guy to go so far without scrutiny and knowing what he's really all about? Did it ever dawn on them the least bit that Knowing Obama by the Company He Keeps just might be a good idea?
