Wright Or Wrong
If you needed a reminder of what a farce American political life is, you can thank Sen. Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, for stepping up to the plate.
Seldom do we see such a sterling example of all our failings as we do in Rev. Wright: a nut, a numbskull and a media whore.
As both the signal influence on one of our most serious presidential aspirants and that very same man’s undoing, we might rightly call this pastor the most powerful man in American politics today.
I’m going to give you a second to absorb the stunning truth of that statement before I ask the logical follow-up: What in the hell are we doing in this country?
Didn’t we recently see 2,000 of our countrymen incinerated in the name of religious quackery? Weren’t we willing to spill oceans of blood ourselves, in multiple wars, waste billions of dollars, destabilize the world and give oil prices a hot foot, all to defeat crackpot mullahs?
And yet here is our eminent Democratic Party on the verge of rejecting one of this country’s legendary political families, the revered Clintons, to voluntarily anoint Rev. Wright’s protégé, Barack Obama.
Obama told us all from Day One about the sway the good Reverend held over him: How Wright “converted” him, presided over his marriage and baptized his girls. Obama told us how he even named his intellectual offspring, “The Audacity of Hope” after a Wright sermon.
Now we know what they might’ve talked about: They might have palavered about the U.S. government inventing the AIDS virus to slaughter American blacks. And hypothetically they blabbed about America the terrorist state.
Whether or not Obama actually knew about his reverend’s convictions, we must call into question his abilities as a chief executive since he made a mistake that any third-rate marketing professional would’ve avoided. He hitched his star to a celebrity spokesman. That’s not a bad strategy unless that spokesman turns out to have an unpleasant odor. Just ask Hertz Rent A Car how that O.J. endorsement is working out.
Obama has gone to great lengths to assure Americans that he is a Christian, yet his pastor walks around surrounded by a phalanx of armed Muslim bodyguards and praises extremist Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan as one of “the great men of the 20th century.” Wright even refers to Farrakhan as the “E.F. Hutton of the black community.” He’s also Farrakhan’s defender, claiming falsely that the Nation of Islam leader called Zionism, not Judaism, a gutter religion.
Are any of our readers members of the Zionist faith?
What’s really inexplicable is how many left-leaning Jews are untroubled by Obama’s connection to Wright. Can you imagine the reaction of our European forefathers? They had no say in choosing the politicians who ruled them, and they suffered centuries of calamity.
They would never believe that their very own descendants would one day willingly choose an Obama and his despicable pastor.
What would they do if they could see it?
In the 26 volumes of the Queen’s English, there’s not a single word fit to describe it. No, for this, we need to turn to the Yiddish. Because the only way to say it is, those old Jews would plotz
