“The Speech” has been made and what have we learned? I can only speak for myself and what I have learned is that Sen. Obama has corroborated all my fears regarding his character and his false affection for this country. Actions speak louder than words as the old adage says and Sen. Obama’s actions speak volumes.
White Americans have bent over backwards at every level of society to build a class-less society based on equality and civil rights. Never in my entire life was I ever taught to hate anyone- Black, White, Asian or Hispanic. Throughout my childhood and into adult life my faith experience as a Catholic has been one of tolerance and love towards ALL people. I don’t know anyone who attends a church that preaches these vile and hateful beliefs as is preached at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, IL. If this is mainstream Black Christianity then I must be living in a bubble because the words preached by Rev. Jeremiah Wright are frightening to say the least. Is Black America really this angry and hateful towards its white brothers and sisters? If so then we are in serious trouble as a nation and 40 years of Civil Rights have been a failure. If not, and I believe this is truly the case, then we must ask ourselves why are people like Rev. Jeremiah Wright preaching these types of sermons. I really think that there is a large segment of the Black Community who NEED to hear this to build up their own self-worth, which is sad. The “rich white people” and the “not-so-rich white people” have done their share of building a nation based on the values of the Rev. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s up to the present.
When will African Americans begin to change their attitude? When will African Americans begin to change their beliefs? When will African Americans begin to forgive? When? When? When? Or are they simply going to continue to hate “whitey” and believe this ludicrous crap like “The US government started the AIDs virus to kill Black people”!! I am sick and tired of hearing this stuff!! This anti-American sentiment is now echoed by entire Democrat party and Hollywood too! Sen. Obama is of this sentiment and his “Hope and Change” campaign is nothing but a cover for what he really believes. Below is a little check list of “words” vs actions by Sen. Barack Obama:

Tells Canadian Journalist “not to take seriously his anti-NAFTA remarks

Constant message of “HOPE”
“A hope that we can live with one another in a way that reconciles the beliefs of each with the good of all.”
“But I am hopeful that we can bridge the gaps that exist and overcome the prejudices each of us bring to this debate. And I have faith that millions of believing Americans want that to happen.”
“We think of faith as a source of comfort and understanding but find our expressions of faith sowing division; we believe ourselves to be a tolerant people even as racial, religious, and cultural tensions roil the landscape. And instead of resolving these tensions or mediating these conflicts, our politics fans them, exploits them, and drives us further apart.”
“I have not personally heard him speak like this before, not while I was present.”
“This is not the Rev. Wright that I know.”

Sen. Obama and his FAMILY attend for 20 yrs now, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Sen. Obama in his own words is “mentored” by Rev. Jeremiah Wright- who preaches the following:
“Not God Bless America, but rather God Damn America”
“Not the USA but USKKKA”
“America is ruled by rich white people”
Rev. Jeremiah Wright espouses the belief of Black Liberation Theology which states the following:
“Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”
- Jim Cone, Theologian at Union Theological Seminary
Barack Obama and his family still attend this church and it has been proven that he was in attendance for Rev. Wright’s “God Damn America” Sermon

"Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America's commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end."

This information is readily available and I collected it in just 1/2 hour. Why is the media ignoring this? Sen. Obama's speech did nothing to persuade me to change my view. I find this man and his "associates" whether he disavows them or not to be utterly reprehensible. This man has snow-jobbed the American people with beautiful words of "Hope, Change, Unity, Togetherness, Compassion, etc...." but his actions speak otherwise. If these beliefs are even remotely held by Sen. Obama, he disqualifies himself from the Presidency just as David Duke's beliefs of White Supremacy would disqualify him. The truly sad thing about this whole affair is that if these beliefs are really held by "Black America" then our experiment of Civil Rights is a failure and Rev. Martin Luther King's dream is DEAD! But as a Catholic who believes that in God is our true Hope I refuse to believe this and will strive to change this.
I know one thing for sure-
A vote for Sen. Obama will NOT bring "Hope, Change, Unity, Togetherness, or Compassion" to this great nation of ours.
