This blog post starts to put things into perspective... It is not the fire and brimstone of Jeremiah A Wright that caught my attention as much as the tone of the media after the extraction and reduction of Jeremiah Wright’s 30 years of religious service into several hand-picked quotes. What Hannity and Colmes started at the beginning of Obama’s bid for presidency is tossed into the spotlight again. No other candidate in this race has been grilled as much as Obama has been — just in a 24 hour period on religious affiliation/association. This is truly manufactured news for a desired result– “let’s get Obama.” Obama is running for president, not Rev. Wright. Looks like the media conglomerates have a plan to ride Obama for his pastor’s comments. McCain’s John Hagee, condemns Catholicism — The media didn’t even blow this up half as much as the Wright controversy. Rod Parsley said America is hell bent on destroying Islam – no media outlet has grilled McCain on either one of these statement. Why all of the heavy handed treatment toward Rev Wright? Nothing fair and balanced– no equality being shared on the subject of religion by the media with all of the candidates. Our founding fathers got it right– Separation of Church and state- religion is too personal and it should not be on the table unless all candidates are being grilled on their pastors’ take on Christianity. “We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. . . . America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” – Sermon, September 2001 “What goes around comes around.” All Rev Wright was expressing in his 9/11 sermon is what many people agree with. One cannot continue to destroy and kill and it won’t reciprocate. I love my country but our history is steeped in wars and killing. We were blessed to have only had 2 attacks on American in recent history; Pearl Harbor and 9/11. We are a blessed nation we are a blessed people. As we debate Rev Wrights words there is a war of ignorance being waged in Iraq fueled by a lie– Weapons of Mass Destruction. Here we are killing people again. Why? We may all have different takes on war but we all know that it is not good and not the will of God no matter what name your religion gives your God. Whether your God is called Jesus, Allah, Buddah or Elohim we all know “Thou shalt not kill. “ Posted by Clarity March 15th, 2008 at 6:42 pm liberalvaluesblog.com
