6 Responses to Obama v. Romney: Vampires and Jobs

If you are paying attention this should be a slamdunk for Romney. As you enter the voting booth on November 6th ask yourself this “Can I trust Obama for four more years after what he’s done to our economy since 2009?”
I’d really hate to see what Barry has up his sleeve in years seven and eight if he wins re-election. Hope and Change-the worst four years since Jimmy Carter was in the White House.
Looks like the “Wright distraction” has risen from the grave to haunt the Obama re-election campaign.
Ed Morrissey:
Hey, guess who’s back? In his new book on Barack Obama titled The Amateur, Edward Klein caught up with Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s minister and friend for 20 years and pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The Hillary Clinton campaign nearly derailed Obama’s nomination by digging up Wright’s incendiary and controversial sermons at TUCC, including exhortations like, “God damn America!” and saying that 9/11 was nothing more than America’s chickens coming home to roost — among many other statements. Obama later proclaimed ignorance of Wright’s rants despite his long association with TUCC, and eventually renounced Wright and TUCC entirely when Wright wouldn’t keep his mouth shut.
In his on-the-record interview with Klein, Wright claims that an Obama ally offered him $150,000 to keep his mouth shut and stop preaching until after the election, in excerpts published by the New York Post today.
I found this excerpt particularly enlightening. After the bribe was offered Wright, Obama paid him a visit:
“And one of the first things Barack said was, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’
“And what did you say?” I asked. “I said, ‘I don’t see it that way. And anyway, how am I supposed to support my family?’ And he said, ‘Well, I wish you wouldn’t speak in public. The press is gonna eat you alive.’
“Barack said, ‘I’m sorry you don’t see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is?’ And I said, ‘No, what’s my problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’ I said, ‘That’s a good problem to have. That’s a good problem for all preachers to have. That’s why I could never be a politician.’
Morrissey points out that this makes Obama out to be a liar when he said he didn’t listen to Wright’s sermons for 20 years. He knew full well the kind of poison Wright had been spewing all those years. Chillingly, it also shows Obama agrees with his pastor “telling the truth” about America.
In case you haven’t noticed, the press is ignoring both this story and the book. It will be interesting to see how the campaign responds and whether or not Wright confirms the allegation.
In reality there is a war between the UCC and traditional religions. The UCC has two sets of wingers: the historically Black Churches as typified by Chicago’s Trinity United steeped in Black Liberation Theology; and on the coasts by the sexually permissive, open and affirming, LGBT-friendly, White Churches supportive of abortion, female clergy, sex ed for young kids, and condoms in the pews. The Susan Campbell fringe if you will and the UCC Seminary Network including Chicago Theological Seminary and Hartford Seminary.
The war on Conservative Christianity extends to the UCC flirtations with anti-Zionism and pro-Palestinian legislation and educational programs and missions.
President Obama’s contraception mandate–in its original form an attack on the institutionalized churches like the Catholic Church and Obama’s recent gay marriage stance are full bore UCC positions. Court cases and administrative rulings which disenfranchise Catholic Social Services over various LGBT and Abortion mandates due to Federal funds is part of the agenda as is obsessions over Catholic and Orthodox sexual abuse while ignoring their own internal crisis and the open and affirming adultery of all too many UCC clergy.
Martin Luther never thought marriage was a sacrament: the UCC is taking that proclomation to an extreme.
It was only 5 short years ago the largely unknown Barack Obama came to Hartford to address the UCC 2007 Synod. He returned a year later during his triumphant campaign tour.
The UCC bills itslef as the largest and oldest Protestant church in New England. It should be noted the traditionalist churches of the UCC are disgusted by the shift to the extreme Left with many leaving the fold.
The 2007 Hartford speech triggered an IRS investigation of the UCC as a political arm of the Democrati Party and an Obama endorsee rather than a real church.

“The War on Religion” theme will not go away in the Red States and Red counties of the Swing States.
@Richard:
I attend a UCC Church.
I call BS on your “condoms in the pews” and “sexually permissive” comments . . . and I don’t even know where to start with “internal crisis and the open and affirming adultery of all too many UCC clergy.”
But what exactly is wrong with the other things you mentioned? The UCC isn’t “Pro-Abortiona” which is what some people would like you to believe. The UCC’s position is more along the lines of “we might feel that you should continue the pregnancy ; but it’s your choice.” In other words . . . it’s a basic civil-libertarian view.
Also, which wing are you claiming Obama stands with anyway? Because you seem to be implying more than one.
There’s a war on religion in this country alright and it’s on anyone whose religion doesn’t comply with a very narrow, fundamentalist view of “God” and the Bible.
It’s a war against enlightenment.
Note the same old sparring partners in this UCC Press Release Chris

And no not all UCC churches are the same. There’s no love lost between the Catholic Church and the UCC Leadership on doctrinal issues.
UCC’s Chickens have come to roost!
Hush money offered to “Rev” Wright…isn’t that rich.
