Today Barack Obama did what some think he should have done a long time ago. He sent his church Trinity United a letter stating that he and his family were leaving the church. In light of the remarks made by his former pastor Rev. Wright and the most recent remarks made by Father Pfleger he had no choice. When I heard the statements this spring made by Rev. Wright I found them disturbing but I did not think the short snippets represented the totality of the ministry. In some ways I felt sorry for Rev. Wright because I knew that his church has done a lot of good for that neighborhood and I felt the media attack was unfair, but when Rev. Wright reappeared before the National Press Cub I had to take a more critical look at Rev. Wright. He came across as very aggressive, flippant and almost arrogant as he performed on the national stage. This latest tirade by Rev. Pfleger was the straw that broke the camel’s back. It seems almost as if Trinity has turned it’s pulpit into a stage for political extremism. In looking at the priest on this past Sunday it leaves the viewer to ask “What would Jesus Do”? It was time for Sen. Obama to cut his ties with the church. Hopefully the hijinx at Trinity will no longer be a distraction this election season. This can only happen if the press stops giving Trinity United center stage.

This is interesting. During my research and reading to learn more about this preacher problem of Obama, I came across some disturbing information.
As readers know, the chief political strategist for Obama, David Axelrod, sits on the finance committee of Pfleger’s Sabina Church.
Upon working at verifying this information is true, I discovered Sabina has removed all pages which reference Axelrod; this information was removed over this past weekend. However, cached copies are still available at Google. This sudden removal of this information suggests a cover-up is underway, probably at the request of Obama.
Continuing my research to better understand and to verify validity of claims, I learn Obama has hired some of Farrakhan’s people to work for Obama over many years, back to the Nineties.
Pfleger was a staff member of Obama’s campaign administration until very recently. We know Wright has been Obama’s spiritual mentor for decades. Then there is hardcore racist Meeks, a close advisor to and delegate for Obama.
I am significantly uncomfortable with Obama becoming president then appointing people like this to his staff or other positions of power. Axelrod will certainly be within the White House. There is a grave concern Pfleger’s people, Farrakhan’s people, Wright, Meeks, there is a grave concern these type of people will end up in positions of power within the Obama White House.
None can argue having people like this in positions of power over our country would be extremely harmful for our country. There is no doubt those types of people would effect a racist agenda, specifically aimed at white people.
This is frighteningly Orwellian in nature. Obama may well be setting up America for doublethink, thought police and, of greatest concern, rendering religion a vehicle for worship of political leaders in keeping with an Orwellian philosophy.
A cover-up in the makings, Trinity, Sabina and Salem already being Orwellian churches, this does not bode well for our America.
