Dear Sen. Obama,
Now that you are back on the market, so to speak, having abandoned your church home of two decades to allow your friends to “worship in peace”, I’d like to invite you to consider my church. Let me tell you a little bit about it.

From the previous thread (since I just posted it there) -
Right on time, cue the MSM! From the McClatchy Washington Bureau : Will Obama’s decision to leave his church silence critics?
Well, let’s think about this.
Member of TUCC most of his adult life - check.
He & his wife married at TUCC - check.
Children baptized at TUCC - check.
Still defends TUCC ( ‘He made clear, however, “I’m not denouncing the church and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church.” He said the church’s congregation does not hold anti-white or anti-American views.’) - check.
Et cetera …
On June 19th 1946, a reporter asked heavyweight champion Joe Louis about his upcoming match with Billy Conn, a younger, lighter, faster fighter. The Brown Bomber responded: “He can run. But he can’t hide.”

And - the “Reverend” Wright not withstanding -
God Bless America.

I hope it’s okay for me to do this:
Scott and family are probably at church, so here’s the correct link to his “other” blog and yet another superb example of Mr. Ott’s genius.

Buwahahahahahaha! So he finally threw his church and “Reverend” Wright under the bus, eh? So typical of a Chicago-type Donk politician. And this is the guy who wants to bring change to America when he continues doing business as usual to enhance his own resume? After all the excusing making he’s made, the Democratic Party has made and neo-Marxist pastors have made in defense of the “Reverend” Wright and his church, it comes down to him quitting the church while still defending it? What cognitive dissonance!
Of course you almost can’t blame the guy since TUCoC is little more than a bastion of radical black nationalist whackjobs posing as Christians. Change Jesus to Allah, rearrange a few scriptural homilies, and the “church” was virtually indistinguishable from screwy Louie Farrakhan’s Black Muslim mosque. And I think it clear to any thinking American Obamessiah quitting the TUCoC comes about nineteen years too late. And then this naive doofus actually says, “This one I didn’t see coming,” when asked if he had anticipated the firestorm of his twenty year association with the radical, neo-Marxist black nationalist “Reverend.” Yeah, right. And just imagine the excuse making Obamessiah will make regarding future attacks by enemies of this country he appears more than willing to have “a dialogue”.
Besides, it’s pretty self-evident that a man who was originally willing to meet with the enemy leaders and tin-plated despots without preconditions and unwilling to meet with American generals fighting to protect this nation is completely unqualified to be Commander-in-Chief of this great nation. Clearly Obamessiah is proving himself to be even more of an empty-suit lightweight.
But hate is a powerful motivator and very infectious, too. And none more hateful the last seven years than Democrats and their willing accomplices in the national media. It may very well be the case some radical, party-hack doofus like Obamessiah could get elected. If this happens he’ll probably actually have the ability to make Jimmy Carter’s presidency actually look good … AND HANG ON TO YOUR WALLETS!

Thank you, Mr. Lewis III, for posting the correct link while my family was where you surmised. If you’re the praying kind, several of us are singing tonight at a church concert. We need all the assistance we can get to properly glorify Christ.

Ahmadinejad: “President Obama, will you disown the United States?”
Obama: “I can no more disown the United States than my own grandmother, pastor or church.”
Uh, oh…

Be glad I’m not behind you warbling like a strangled gargoyle; I have driven many to the brink of madness…..
…..most of them are no longer institutionalized-thankfully…..

Obama’s church membership has done what he needed it to do; it gave him Black “cred” to run for office in Illinois and beyond. Hence, it’s no longer needed, and was never anything but political expediency anyway.
I wouldn’t doubt if he’s still secretly a Muslim…

Sounds like a great church Scott… the kind Jesus would have “endorsed”.

I especially love this part…
“If you like liberation theology, at our church you get it, but it’s not limited to the poor, or to any particular race, because “if the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:38) no matter what you look like or how much you earn.”
AMEN, Scott!! AMEN!!
As usual, a brilliantly and beautifully worded piece, filled with the Truth of God’s love for us all. Thank you, Mr. Ott. Thank you.

Darthmeister #4:
And then this naive doofus actually says, “This one I didn’t see coming,” when asked if he had anticipated the firestorm of his twenty year association with the radical, neo-Marxist black nationalist “Reverend.”
I think buffoon Obama actually believes that this is the way people act in “church.” Since, Jeremiah Spite is supposedly the one who “converted” Osama…er, Obama to “Christianity,” it’s possible that Obama thinks that these are the performances going on in all of the “black” churches.
Although I don’t regularly “tune in,” I have had the occasion to view black preachers such as T. D. Jakes and Creflo Dollar giving sermons in their respective churches. Never have I heard them screaming hate-filled racist rants or running down the country, so I know that the garbage coming from the pulpit at TUCC doesn’t take place at some other churches made up of mainly black congregations.
I’m with camo @ #10…I think Obama is “posing” as a Christian, because it’s politically expedient for him to do so. He knows Americans wouldn’t go for a muslim President, so he has been closeting his islamic beliefs by attending TUCC. The problem is, TUCC honors and praises islamofascist filth like Calypso Louie Farrakhan. Wouldn’t surprise me if J’Wright wasn’t a closeted muslim, as well. These people certainly are not Christians.
Trinity United Church of Christ. Which Trinity? Father, Son, Holy Ghost? Or, “Black Liberation Theology,” “Racism,” “Marxism?” United? What “unites” this congregation is their “antipathy for those who aren’t like them,” combined with anti-Americanism and a celebration of “victimhood.” Church? Just because this word is in the name, doesn’t mean it actually is a “church”…it’s a meeting place for Marxist political rallies disguised as “worship,” and a “tax-shelter” for anti-American subversives. Christ? Christ isn’t “in attendance” there. Jesus Christ was ushered out of that place years ago, if He was ever invited in to begin with.

I can understand Liberals’ point of Ameica not being ‘perfect’. But I certainly will never understand the underlying Anti-Ameicanism of Sen. Obama. Why he even wants to lead such a nation? If Sen. Obama thinks so poorly of our military, why he wants to be Commender-in-Chief?
Tell me, Sen. Obama, for me and fellow countrymen who disagree with you, what CHANGE will you have in store for us?
