Contrary to what you might be thinking, I’m not some highly motivated right-wing fanatic who sits around being spoon-fed Fox News diatribes. I don’t have any preconceived political motivations that are serving up my motions for making a site about some ex-pastor from Chicago. The truth is, I’ve come to the table with what is primarily a single concern that I think a hell of a lot of people need to be thinking about right now. The problem with all this fuss can be boiled down to a single analogy: one doesn’t join a team whose mission he doesn’t believe in. Barack Obama is the member of a church that espouses hate, anger, revenge and resentment toward the institutions in this country that have in many ways led to its many successes. Now don’t get me wrong, many of those institutions have also had flaws and have committed great injustices. But there are two ways to deal with those injustices: we can examine them, understand them and overcome them through honest and civilized, forward-looking policies, or we can attack them with the kind of ferocity that would bring wide smiles to the faces of all the worst regimes from history’s past.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright is calling for a war. He’s another Mugabe. I have no doubt that were he able to, he’d have us all rioting in the streets again, armed citizen against armed citizen. Blacks killing whites and whites killing blacks. But he’s no politician. In that sense, we can all feel safe and sound because his ambitions will always be held captive to the prison that his own poor logic and quick-witted I’ll-interrupt-everyone-so-they-can’t-ask-me-real-questions style of public engagements create around him. But the surprising and even deeply concerning reality of this circus of a religion he professes is that sitting somewhere quietly in some possibly empty pew in the corner is a man that might very well be the next president of this nation.

Regardless of however Barack Obama might make attempts to distance himself from his own pastor, we should take the sober path and realize that Barack is a politician. What he says must always be suited for the people who he needs to vote for him. In other words, when he disavows the very man who married him, we need to be very skeptical. It should be plain beyond plain that after twenty-something years as a member of this church, as a student of the fanatic we call Jeremiah, he only now disavows the views of the man who said “God damn America.” Let me spell it out for you: coincidentally, Barack happens to be in a very close race for the nomination.

So if you think Barack’s sudden departure from these views is an honest departure, then you run the risk of being fooled in just the way he wants you to be fooled. What’s that? You think I’m making this up? Don’t take it from me, take it from him:

“Naturally, the common people don’t want war … but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.”

–Hermann Göring, April 18th, 1946. Leading member of the Nazi Party, second in command of the Third Reich, designated successor to Adolf Hitler, and commander of the Luftwaffe.
