			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/petraeus-faints.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2445" style="margin: 10px;" title="petraeus faints" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/petraeus-faints-300x177.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="177" /></a>Petraeus, Shut Up</em> by Rachael Williams</p>
<p>Looks like General Petraeus needs to reminded that his predecessor <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/17390/119236">lost his job</a> over running his mouth.  According to the man now managing the war in Afghanistan, burning a Quran is “<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/06/florida.quran.burning/">precisely the same</a>” as using children as suicide bombers.</p>
<p>Well, that’s not exactly what he said.   Petraeus spoke out against a Florida church’s plans to burn copies of the Quran on September 11<sup>th</sup>, decrying the plans as identical to the Taliban’s tactics, and as dangerous to our men and women in Afghanistan.  Maybe someone in the Obama administration should tell him that there are already plenty of Afghan Muslims who are willing to kill our troops.  That’s kind of why Petraeus has a job.</p>
<p>Burning the Quran isn’t going to accomplish anything, and will certainly open the church up to threats from those it offends (and protests from liberals who are offended by everything considered non-liberal).  However, it’s not exactly going to make any new enemies, either.  For every bit that this plan is pointless, it’s also harmless. </p>
<p>The Dove World Outreach Center wouldn’t have achieved the notoriety of the <a href="http://www.godhatesfags.com/">Westboro Baptist Church</a> for an isolated event of Quran burning, and the likelihood that anyone in the hills of Afghanistan would have ever heard of the plans is close to nil—or was, until the Commanding General of the war decided to add his two cents and put the issue on the national radar.</p>
<p>Can Petraeus really be so obtuse that he thinks voicing opposition to the church’s plans would make them change their minds?  Americans already feel like the current administration is more worried with making friends in the Middle East than eliminating our enemies.  This is the kind of fig leaf that reinforces not only that opinion, but also the idea that our war plan should include unconditional surrender rather than unconditional victory.</p>
<p>Our very way of life is offensive to radical Islamists, so unless female infidels are going to start wearing burkas instead of bikinis, this is pretty small potatoes.</p>
<p>As for the notion that burning the Quran lowers the Dove World Outreach Center to the same level as the Taliban, I have a hard time believing Petraeus was able to say this with a straight face.  The Taliban enslaves an entire gender by <a href="http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010%5C09%5C07%5Cstory_7-9-2010_pg1_5">bombing girls’ schools</a>, and tricks six-year-olds into acting as enemy combatants by saying that their bombs will “<a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19420772/">shoot flowers</a>” when activated. </p>
<p>According to the Quran, the Prophet Muhammad had sex with his child bride when she was only <a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/ayesha.htm">nine years old</a>.  Rape victims are regularly stoned to death for infidelity, and not even First Ladies are above receiving <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/09/state-run-iranian-paper-calls-french-first-lady-carla-bruni-a-prostitute-then-calls-for-her-death.html">death threats for speaking out</a> on the issue.  Should we stop prosecuting child molesters and rapists out of fear of offending Muslim sensibilities?  Somehow I doubt the liberal feminists at NOW are going to speak out about Petraeus’ ridiculous comparison as sexist and insensitive to women’s suffrage. </p>
<p>Burning a religion’s holy book is not on par with anything about the Taliban.  They are evil incarnate, and Afghanistan should be so lucky as to have leaders whose only crime was religious intolerance.  Such a comparison is utterly ridiculous, and a man of such tremendous authority in the war should know better.</p>
<p>Petraeus is right in saying that burning the Quran is religiously offensive to Muslims—that’s the entire purpose—but other than that, it’s hard to find a legitimate point in his opposition.  One has to wonder why he bothered to bring it up at all, unless he’s just playing sockpuppet for Obama. </p>
<p>It’s a pretty logical conclusion.  Obama’s already <a href="http://bigpeace.com/fgaffney/2010/08/13/obamas-ground-zero-mosque/">gone all in</a> on the Ground Zero mosque issue, claiming freedom of religion and securing an approval rating among Muslims <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/142700/muslims-give-obama-highest-job-approval-mormons-lowest.aspx">nearly double</a> of his overall job approval.  The administration was notably silent on Everybody Draw Muhammad Day, which suggests two things. </p>
<p>Firstly, there’s no real way for a “Constitutional scholar” like Obama (peace be upon him) to shame the public for exercising freedom of speech and doodling some cartoons.  Secondly, Petraeus has been given a long leash regarding copying McChrystal’s outspokenness, so long as he adheres to a probama and Islam-friendly script.</p>
<p>Burning a Quran is, of course, extremely inflammatory and insensitive.  Regardless of one’s feelings about Islam, it’s every bit as unethical as burning a Bible or an American flag.  But it’s not any more sacred than those, and no more a war commander’s business to discuss publicly, either. </p>
<p>So Petraeus, and any who may follow you, just win the war and shut up.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Al Sharpton has spoken out about Beck’s 8-28 march on Washington, as he rocked the ‘60’s bouffant hair style to match his ‘60’s rhetoric. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Dream-TV.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2425" style="margin: 10px;" title="Dream TV" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Dream-TV-300x241.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="241" /></a>Al Sharpton has spoken out about Beck’s 8-28 march on Washington, as he rocked the ‘60’s bouffant hair style to match his ‘60’s rhetoric. </p>
<p>Unlike Dr. King’s march, Sharpton’s “Reclaim the Dream” march had to ride on the coattails of a white man’s march. Based on attendance at the Sharpton event, a lot of black folks don’t feel the need to reclaim the dream.</p>
<p>That didn’t stop Sharpton from telling the world that Beck is distorting what Dr. King’s dream was about. According to Sharpton, Beck is trying to steal the dream! And who is better to step up to reclaim the dream, but the top law enforcement officer in the Liberal black community! </p>
<p>If Beck is allowed to steal the dream, he wouldn’t know what to do with it!  After all, white folks can’t know what Dr. King meant. Who does Beck think he is; a black hustler?!</p>
<p>Sharpton declared that the people who are marching on 8-28 are having an “anti-government march.”  Wasn’t Dr. King’s march an anti-government march?</p>
<p>The reason King’s action were anti-government is that laws that had been established by <em>government</em> to prevent blacks from voting, to obtain proper housing, and to deter blacks from achieving the American Dream were all established by <em>government</em>…<em>Democrat</em> governments!</p>
<p>King wanted to change government, not make blacks increasingly dependent <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">on</span></em> government.  King wanted blacks to receive a fair opportunity to exercise their God-given—not government-given— rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He needed government to right some wrongs, but King did not want more government.</p>
<p>King’s protest was in recognition of one such act of discrimination of Marian Anderson, a famous black Opera singer, who was the object of discrimination.  Her treatment represented exactly what King was fighting against.</p>
<p>Though Anderson had an amazing singing career, performing all over the world, in racially charged America of her time, there were constant reminders by Democrats that she was black.</p>
<p>When Anderson returned from her European tour, she was denied permission to sing at Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and then again, when she requested to use the auditorium of a white public school.</p>
<p>Because of Eleanor Roosevelt, Walter White of the NAACP, and Anderson’s manager Sol Hurok, Marian Anderson was allowed to perform on Easter Sunday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. What a tribute to the man who began the emancipation of black people.  75,000 people were said to have seen that concert, as millions more listened on radio.</p>
<p>King’s goal was to bring civil rights and economic issues to national attention, beyond the Civil Rights bill that was under consideration by the Kennedy administration. King realized that government was not going to be the solution, and took his cause the people. King’s referendum on racism was so powerful that ultimately LBJ would be forced to acknowledge the “uppityness” of the Negro, as he would go on to create the InGrate Society which would “keep those n*ggers voting Democrat for 200 years!”</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/sharpton.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2426" style="margin: 10px;" title="sharpton" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/sharpton.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="215" /></a>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>Black people who believe Sharpton would be better off playing the Nigerian lottery. The odds of winning that lottery are certainly better than getting even a nickel’s worth of good from Sharpton.</p>
<p>Sharpton and his ilk who are the one’s distorting Dr. King’s dream.  Representative John Lewis, Democrat oft touted for his participation in the Civil Rights’ movement, said back in the ‘60’s,</p>
<blockquote><p>“For the party of Kennedy is also the party of Eastland. The party of Javits is also the party of Goldwater. Where is our party? Where is the political party that will make it unnecessary to march on Washington?”</p></blockquote>
<p>That party is the Tea Party, John Lewis!</p>
<p>Sharpton would never admit that the group that created Dr. King was Democrats—racist to their core.  It was they who had set up all the programs that dehumanized and disenfranchised blacks.  Sharpton and other so-called black leaders have been sleeping with the enemy for decades.</p>
<p>Beck’s march on Washington provides Sharpton a target—white meat—to blame, and a white man’s back to jump on. It makes no difference to Sharpton that Beck has NOTHING to do with the oppression of blacks…in <em>any</em> decade! Sharpton can see his livelihood slipping away with the Tea Party movement, and he sees Beck as a potential meal ticket.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

<p>You can call me a bigot for opposing the Ground Zero mosque, I don’t mind—I’ve already been branded a racist and a tea-bagger for opposing Obama’s far-left agenda.  It seems that there’s an awful lot of racist, teabagging, Islamophobe bigots out there hiding amongst us, though—since <em>Time</em> is citing polls showing that <a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2011799,00.html">70% of Americans</a> feel the Ground Zero mosque is “an insult to the victims of 9/11”. </p>
<p>If Park 51 is genuine in their desire to build bridges between Muslims and non-Islamic society, they need to just buy the world a Coke and call it a day, because the mosque isn’t going to help matters.</p>
<p>The pacifists on the left are cowering behind freedom of religion as a reason to allow a mosque to be built as a trophy for the greatest achievement of radical Islam on American soil.  Liberals only like the Constitution when bastardizing it allows them get away with something that is ethically incorrect.  Unfortunately for them, there is already a Supreme Court precedent that would allow us to prevent this martyr shrine from being built.</p>
<p>In 2004, the Supreme Court upheld a 50 year-old <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2003/LAW/04/07/scotus.cross.burning/">ban on cross burning</a>, but only when there is intent of racial intimidation.  Without evidence of intent to intimidate, it is still Constitutionally protected free speech under the First Amendment.  I imagine Justice Clarence Thomas threw the rest of the justices a major side-eye before writing the <a href="http://www.aclu.org/free-speech/us-supreme-court-upholds-va-cross-burning-ban-sends-law-back-state-court-refinement">dissenting opinion</a>, which was pretty much just saying AW HELL NAW to the notion that burning a cross could be done as a “symbol of group solidarity” lacking intent to intimidate. </p>
<p>Personally, I’m inclined to agree.  I don’t imagine anyone burning a cross just so they can roast marshmallows and sing Kum-bi-ya.</p>
<p>What it comes down to in a controversial argument regarding freedom of speech or freedom of religion is not about common sense and a literal interpretation of the Constitution.  In the Kagan-era Supreme Court, it’s all about precedent—and in the case of the Ground Zero mosque, the intent to intimidate seems pretty darn clear.</p>
<p>Everything about this mosque is an in-your-face attempt to raise a memorial and shrine not to the 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on 9/11, but to the murderous martyrs who killed them.  Even the originally planned name, “Cordoba House” reveals the mentality behind its construction.</p>
<p>Cordoba is a reference to the city in Spain where in the eighth century Islam dominated what had previously been a peaceful society with a mix of Muslims, Jews, and Christians.  Non-Muslims were treated as <a href="http://stonescryout.org/?p=3605">second class citizens</a> and forced to convert to Islam.  Those who refused to denounce their faith <a href="http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/08/20/the-christian-martyrs-of-cordoba/">died as martyrs</a>, with several religious leaders boldly proclaiming with their last breaths:<em> </em></p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>We abide by the same confession, O magistrate, that our most holy brothers Isaac and Sanctius professed. Now hand down the sentence, multiply your cruelty, be kindled with complete fury in vengeance for your prophet. We profess Christ to be truly God and your prophet to be a precursor of Antichrist and an author of profane doctrine.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The building was to be named after a multi-generational attempt to establish Islam as the only remaining religion by way of forced conversions and genocide, and yet the left still insists that the building of the mosque is Constitutionally protected.  If you think this is really about freedom of religion, I’ve got a certified copy of Obama’s birth certificate to sell you.</p>
<p>Apparently, there are a few supporters of the Ground Zero mosque who know that the freedom of religion argument is a losing one.  The liberal rag <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anushay-hossain/park-51-the-ground-zero-m_b_686950.html">Huffington Post</a> featured an op-ed claiming that the Ground Zero mosque isn’t a mosque at all.  Because the building will feature a culinary school, basketball courts, and a pool, it’s an “Islamic Community Center”.  Even if we pretend that there is some dramatic difference between a mosque and a community center, the fact remains that there is a Supreme Court precedent to deny the existence of a religiously-oriented structure if the intent is intimidation. </p>
<p>There’s no grey area here.  The plan to build a mosque here—especially when there are <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2571552/posts">nearly a hundred mosques</a> in NYC, 20 of them in Manhattan alone—is so incredulous, that non-American Muslims don’t actually believe that Muslims are behind Park 51.  <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/top-muslims-condemn-ground-zero-mosque-as-a-%E2%80%98zionist-conspiracy%E2%80%99/?singlepage=true">Prominent Sunni leader</a> Al Masry Al Youm spoke of the “devious mentality” that could drive one to do such a thing when clearly it will do tremendous damage to interfaith relations.  He speculated that the mosque was part of a “Zionist conspiracy” to “confirm a [fictitious] clear connection between the strikes of September [11] and Islam.”   </p>
<p>While the “Jews did it!” meme doesn’t seem to be widespread, the international Muslim opposition to Park 51 is.  The Middle East Media Research Institute featured an article last week explaining that the majority of Muslims don’t want or need a mosque near Ground Zero.  The Al-Arabiya Director was quoted as saying “The last thing Muslims want today is to build a religious center that provokes others, or a symbolic mosque that people will visit as a [kind of] museum next to a cemetery.”</p>
<p>While American liberals are busy claiming the mosque must be built not in spite of such opposition but “precisely because of” it, the rest of the world sees that argument for the charade that it is.  The 70% of Americans who oppose Park 51 aren’t Islamophobes or bigots—<a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/08/18/audio-i-wish-theyd-move-the-mosque-says-howard-dean/comment-page-1/#comments">even Howard Dean</a> agrees with that—and they have Constitutional precedent on their side in keeping it from being built.</p>
<p>The majority of the world’s Muslims who actually do want to practice their religion peacefully and sincerely desire to build bridges do not want a Ground Zero mosque built.  If the mosque issue really centers around religious freedom, aren’t they the ones we should be listening to?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In most Muslim countries, Christianity can only be practiced behind closed doors, if at all.  Muslim countries allow no religious symbols from other religions, so no Bibles, no crucifixes, no pictures of Jesus, and no Virgin Marys on the dashboard of your hoop-t!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Muslim-conquest.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"></a><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Muslim-conquest.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2380" style="margin: 10px;" title="Muslim conquest" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Muslim-conquest.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="279" /></a>In most Muslim countries, Christianity can only be practiced behind closed doors, if at all.  Muslim countries allow no religious symbols from other religions, so no Bibles, no crucifixes, no pictures of Jesus, and no Virgin Marys on the dashboard of your hoop-t!</p>
<p>And if you are caught practicing “other religions” then you might be treated like Prabhu Issac, where in 2001 <a href="http://www.domini.org/openbook/sau20010719.htm">Saudi police raided his homes</a> after hearing that he may be practicing Christianity!  The <em>horror</em>!</p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>The Muttawa [Saudi police] confiscated Prabhu&#8217;s computer, photo albums, Bibles, songbooks, and all his audio cassettes and videotapes. Fellow Christians are concerned that the personal files on Prabhu&#8217;s computer may have contained the names and addresses of other Christians who often would meet together in each others&#8217; homes to sing and study the Bible. In Saudi Arabia, it is illegal for Christians to gather together to practice their faith…The Muttawa are constantly on the lookout for foreigners who are openly practicing their faith, including gathering together for religious purposes other than observing Islam</em>.”</p></blockquote>
<p> Imagine if in America there was a crackdown on people practicing Islam and police raided Muslim homes in America. But to hear Barack Obama speak on religion, <em>America</em> is the intolerant nation.</p>
<p>The fact that America actually respects the 3000 people killed on Sept 11 by Muslim radicals, and prefer that Muslims add their one more mosque to the community elsewhere is considered intolerant. </p>
<p>The good news is that Obama later retracted that statement, essentially saying that he was only speaking about Muslims’ <em>legal</em> right to put the mosque at Ground Zero, and he wasn’t necessarily saying that he was for or against the mosque.  That’s confusing, so let me put it this way:  Obama voted “present.”</p>
<p>It may surprise most Americans that Christianity can be practiced in some Muslim countries. In fact, they are so tolerant, in Qatar there is actually ONE Christian church.  But wait, there could be TWO…if you count ALL of Arabia, as there have been negotiations between the Pope and the king of Saudi Arabia to allow a Catholic church to be built in “the kingdom.”</p>
<p>Based on the Muslims’ rules for Christianity, I suspect that church will have an outward appearance more of a US Government “black ops” buildings, with not a clue that the building is a Christian church!</p>
<p>Outside of catering to the infidels who are absolutely necessary to service them, Muslims consider the practice of other religions punishable by <em>death</em>. Could it be that allowing these churches to be built is just a way for the Muslims to know where all the Christians are, when the time comes for jihad?</p>
<p>In both Obama’s comments and his clarification statement, Obama failed to mention all the calls to worship for Muslims heard throughout the communities of New York, and other cities, so much so that some American cities more resemble [<em>insert American-hating, Christian-executing Muslim country here</em>], than they do their former American cities.</p>
<p>In Manhattan alone, there are approximately 200 mosques and growing!  In Detroit, it’s over 300 and counting. But hey, Christians do have ONE Christian church in all of Arabia, with the <em>possibility</em> of ONE more!</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/burka.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2381" style="margin: 10px;" title="burka" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/burka.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>Islam is practiced openly in America, and we allow their Koran and other religious artifacts without prejudice. But in Muslim countries, Christianity must be practiced in private, or face penalty of death! Yet it is America who needs to show religious tolerance, according to Barack Obama.</p>
<p>America is going to find itself moving from the cry of racism to the cry of religious tolerance (with a racism chaser) as the major topic of discussion. And we are going to lose this battle, because the Muslims know how to use our laws, the media, and Liberalism against us.</p>
<p>Muslims are students of Liberalism, sitting at the head of the class and going for extra credit.  So as they build thousands of mosques, cultural centers, and enclaves in America, they give us a token gesture of ONE church, or just enough to show their “tolerance.”  Their laws forbid the spread of other religions, yet we usher in their radicalism at every turn.</p>
<p>History proves that Muslims build shrines as monuments of their conquests.  Let us not forget that the “religion of peace” was successful in their destruction of Capitalism represented by the Twin Towers, and the lives of 3000 infidels, as they see it!</p>
<p>Life as we knew it in America changed forever on 9/11. Some will even argue that it is Muslims who gave America “change we can’t believe in.”</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Religion-Types.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1587" title="Religion Types" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Religion-Types-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>Since we are entering Christians’ most holy season, I thought it fitting to cover the subject of religion.  As my tribute to religion, I have decided to chastise three religious groups:  Catholics, Jews, and &#8220;blacks,&#8221; or more specifically the Godless Liberals hiding therein.</p>
<p>Let’s begin with Catholics.  For them, Lent is a season of soul-searching and repentance, a season for reflection and taking stock.  Let’s hope that the Catholics who voted for Obama have reflected, and for Lent have decide to give up Obama…and not for just 40 days!</p>
<p>I don’t consider any Catholic who voted for Obama to be a <em>practicing</em> Catholic.  To have voted for Obama and refer to yourself as a Catholic, you are either a CINO—Catholic In Name Only—living a secular life, or you are just in a fog.  Those are the <em>only</em> two choices.</p>
<p>Obama is for birth control, real Catholics are not.  Obama is for partial birth abortion, real Catholics are not.  Obama is practically a Muslim, real Catholics are <em>not</em>!</p>
<p>And if Obama is not a Muslim, he is certainly not for religions who don’t practice Black Liberation Theology.</p>
<p>These Catholic frauds should just stop fronting.  They are not Catholics, nor are they religious!  They don’t even really give anything up for Lent, unless it’s something they could easily give up without hesitation, like taking the Lexus instead of the Mercedes.  No fasting in the wilderness, like the old days.  They should just leave the Catholic religion and start worshipping some golden idol.  I suggest Simon from American Idol, since he is leaving AI anyway, and he is just as Nobel worthy as their current false idol.</p>
<p>I find the Jews even more perplexing than the Catholics who supposedly voted around 54 percent for Obama.  The Jews supported Obama at around 78%, second only to black people, who were at 95%.  Jews simply ignored the Muslim upbringing of Obama, his Black Nationalist leanings, and decided that voting “black” superseded their sanity.</p>
<p>Meanwhile Israel fights <em>daily</em> for its survival, constantly embroiled in a battle for their LIVES against Muslim enemies who surround them on three sides.  My question is, “If the Muslims were to destroy Israel, do secular Jews think the Muslims make a distinction?”</p>
<blockquote><p>Oh, you weren’t a practicing Jew, so I won’t cut off your head.  Salam wa aleikum!</p></blockquote>
<p>Last time I checked, the Muslims want to destroy ALL Jews, practicing or not, and this would have included converted black Jew, Sammie Davis, Jr! Yes, Muslims will even kill the Candy Man!</p>
<p>I know Jews are pissed at Christians over the Jesus debate, but Christians are not trying to DESTROY the Jews or to cut off their heads!  When perturbed, Christians won’t launch rockets into your neighborhoods either. </p>
<p>Jews might get a few racist Democrats (faux Christians) who will accuse them of being money-grubbing Capitalists or not allowing Jews into one of their elitist clubs.  But that about it.</p>
<p>Admittedly, there is that venerable group of nostalgic Democrats who might demonstrate from time to time in their white robes, hearkening back to the good old days when they were intimidating black people, and occasionally getting their hands on a Jew—bonus!  But these days their numbers amount to little more than a pep rally in comparison to the Muslims—yes even moderates!—who want Jews 187&#8230;that&#8217;s copspeak for D-E-A-D!</p>
<p>As for blacks in America, “being black” has become a religion all to itself.  Never in the history of American politics has a group been so targeted for monolithic thinking than blacks.  For those wishing to gain 100% black-think, that conversion process is a religion.</p>
<p> Blacks who voted for Obama would easily pass for Conservatives in many ways, yet they have acted more Liberal than the Guilters who voted for Obama simply because he was black.  Black theists exercised what I call moral relativity, which in effect makes them Liberals.  They chose to disregard Obama’s disdain for religion, the right to life, the sanctity of marriage, notwithstanding Obama’s lack of fiscal responsibility to let America get her credit cards revoked!</p>
<p>Most blacks know that Obama attended church for <em>show</em>—for street cred.  Street cred led to Obama gaining political clout, and Obama chose the church with the most political clout in the black community in order to…<em>use</em> the black community. </p>
<p>Black theists proved to be equally racist, as they disregarded Obama’s Godlessness in favor of “making history.”  Most knew Obama to be racist, with his policy of spread the wealth around and his obvious dislike of whites, as he proclaimed in his books. Black theists chose to disregard the same racist policies of the past, in order to satisfy some cultural urge to elect a black man at any cost&#8230;even if it cost them their souls!</p>
<p>In fact, these black Democrats are not religious at ALL! Black Democrats <em>attend </em>church, but that’s it.  To <em>pretend</em>.  It’s like voting Democrat…they don’t know why, they just do!   They may be fooling themselves, because they are <em>not</em> fooling God.</p>
<p>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Religion-Hypocrites-2.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1588" style="margin: 10px;" title="Religion - Hypocrites 2" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Religion-Hypocrites-2-300x172.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="172" /></a>I blame all three of these so-called religious groups for the election of Obama. Exactly what were these groups voting for?  Apparently racism and Godlessness, because none of them had <em>any</em> reasons to vote so overwhelmingly for Obama.</p>
<p>Electing Obama, was essentially a slap in the face to God and a kick in the crotch to America.</p>
<p>We can only hope that these “religious groups” have learned their lessons, though we know better.  Obama has done nothing to further the cause of religion, or any of the tenets that religion speaks to, but that doesn’t matter to the Liberals.</p>
<p>The support of Obama by people who call themselves religion is a sign of the times for America.  The slippage of America’s moral values.  These idol worshippers followed a FALSE god—note little ‘g!’  And Obama is leading black folks to the depths of depravity, and far away from God.  Obama is their god on earth.  My bet is this is about as close as Liberals will get to the <em>real</em> God.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/boy-king-wonder.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1569" title="boy king wonder" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/boy-king-wonder-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>If you don’t have enough proof that a black voice of Conservatism is needed today more than ever, look at what just happened since the boy who would be king has usurped America!  Despite the protestations of the majority of the people, we got Deathcare, and they used black Democrats to make it happen!</p>
<p>The real first black president Bill Clinton couldn’t do pass it.  He even used his wife, Hillary “<em>I Don’t Feel No Way Tired</em><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn1">[1]</a>” Rodham-Clinton in an attempt to cajole black people to support DeathCare. But black people were having no part of HillaryCare, despite her invocation of Rev James Cleveland or Bill&#8217;s supposed witnessing of black churches being burned, when he was a mere child. All the religious imagery did nothing to sway black Democrtas to support DeathCare during The Clintonista Era – Part I.</p>
<p><em>Has DeathCare changed</em>?  They shifted a few things here and there, move this to that and what not.  But at the end of the day ObamaCare is just HillaryCare in a new Italian suit.  And it translates to DeathCare regardless of the author, so it means means fewer doctors delivering sub-par medical care to the fewer people.  CastroCare!</p>
<p>Regardless, this time DeathCare sold&#8230;sort of!  Which brings me to just how Amerika got DeathCare, and who was the Liberals “Deliverer.” (Hint)</p>
<p>One of my friends, Lloyd Marcus calls Obama “the Progressives&#8217; black Trojan horse” in a very well written piece.  That depiction of Obama is spot on accurate! Who better than to propagate the continuation of Democrats’ destruction of the black population and America as a whole, than a pseudo black man riding in on a Trojan horse?! </p>
<p>Margaret Sanger recommended using black <em>preachers</em>, back in the day when she proposed The Negro Project<a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn2">[2]</a>.  The Dems did, and it worked well into the old millennium.  Through the use of a few black preachers, the Democrats all but erased their unbelievably dismal record on civil rights, and in a stroke of sheer genius, flipped it onto the Republican Party—the TRUE party of civil rights!  Democrats of yore used black men of God to sell black people <em>back</em> into slavery. BRILLIANT…if you’re a “Progressive,” not so good for black people.</p>
<p>However the game changed on those wiley Dems. Black people, previously staunch Conservatives, became infected with the disease of Liberalism. Family values were abandoned, education was not stressed.  Black churches eroded into political pulpits, where the discussion was less about God, and more about the next White or Black Political Hope! Churches became dens of trickery, parading white Democrat politicians in front of eager black minds&#8211;eager to get something for nothing, the Liberal way.  White politicians promised to give black people “<em>just enough to quiet them down, but not enough to make a difference.<a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn3"><strong>[3]</strong></a></em>”  They fulfilled <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">that</span></em> promise.</p>
<p>God left the black church, when the church decided <em>Government</em> was their new god. This marginalized the black “ministers,” and the Democrats needed a new strategy…a better mousetrap as it were.  Why use a few slick black hucksters posing as men of God, when you can have a Godless LAWYER! </p>
<p>The fact that he is “light-skin with no Negro dialect (unless he needs it)<a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn4">[4]</a>” is just icing on that German pseudo-chocolate cake!  The day of the bouffant hairdo preacher ended, and the slick big city pseudo black attorney was <em>en vogue</em>!</p>
<p>The black Progressive Trojan horse now known as Barry &#8220;Barack Obama&#8221; Soetoro started out running on popularity, but his real role was to lawyer up!  Yes, America got beaten by a team of lawyers, led by one of the most corrupt lawyers on the planet, so much so that he and his wife no longer practice law. Some believe they CAN’T anymore.</p>
<p>It gets better. Barry Soetoro is not <em>just</em> a lawyer.  If that were the case, they could have found just about any light-skin with no Negro dialect Negro to parade in front of America.  No, Barry is the Holy Grail for Progressives.  He is also a race-baiting elitist!  Think about it.  He can appoint Black Nationalists, and nobody on the Left says a word.  Why wouldn’t white Liberals be appalled?  Because appointing Black Nationalists provides fuel to controlling black people, Silly! </p>
<blockquote><p>“Oo, I love me some Van Jones!  And he won’t take nothin’ from no white folks. And Mark Lloyd is gone git us some money, and git those CEOs out of they jobs, so we can run some companies!”</p></blockquote>
<p>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/slave.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1570" title="slave" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/slave.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="217" /></a>The more things change, the more they stay the same.</p>
<p>Republicans remain the party of civil rights and Democrats are still slave owners.   We find ourselves in a similar situation as in the mid 1800’s, and nothing has changed.  This is why I call the year 2010, Emancipation II – This time even the white folks get freed.  Freedom will again come by the hands of a <em>Republicans</em>.  This time it may be a black Republican who is America’s new Superman!</p>
<p>Black Republicans will be called on to stem the tide of Liberalism in black communities, or Democrat will continue to use black people to pass legislation that will not help black people or anybody else for that matter.  Democrats have watered-down health care, just like they watered-down black people past and present. </p>
<p>Democrats recognized that black pastors couldn’t get it done during the Era of the Clintinistas, so this time they “lawyered up!”</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/national-health-care-sanger-and-baby.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1053 alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" title="national health care - sanger and baby" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/national-health-care-sanger-and-baby-300x168.jpg" alt="national health care - sanger and baby" width="300" height="168" /></a>Despite dismal poll numbers, Obama is still trying to hock ObamaCare. ObamaCare was tried, convicted, and sentence to death. However like other death row inmates&#8230;healthcare has found religion!</p>
<p>Obama has traded the “race card” for the “faith Card” in hopes of making healthcare a moral, therefore a <em>religious </em>issue. This from a guy who believes that <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=67735">America is not a country founded on Judeo-Christian principles</a>?</p>
<p>Further irony is that Obama will deal more with religion in his life in the next week, than he has since becoming president&#8230;likely much longer! Obama simply can’t lose on this issue, even if he has to stoop to religion to do it! We now have the <em>real </em>definition of a Hail Mary, because Lord knows the old Harvard try has failed miserably!</p>
<p>Utilizing tactics that would make Margaret Sanger proud, Obama met recently with black pastors, imploring these leaders to preach to black folks about ObamaCare. <em>Make those black folks understand that this is for their own good</em>.</p>
<p>These excerpts from Citizens’ Review Online might seem familiar:</p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>Sanger shrewdly used the influence of prominent blacks to reach the masses with this message. She invited DuBois and a host of Harlem&#8217;s leading blacks, including physicians, social workers, ministers and journalists, to form an advisory council to help direct the clinic “so that our work in birth control will be a constructive force in the community</em>.”</p>
<p><em>Sanger convinced the community so well that Harlem&#8217;s largest black church, the Abyssinian Baptist Church, held a mass meeting featuring Sanger as the speaker. But that event received criticism. At least one “very prominent minister of a denomination other than Baptist” spoke out against Sanger. Dr. Adam Clayton Powell Sr., pastor of Abyssinian Baptist, “received adverse criticism” from the (unnamed) minister who was “surprised that he&#8217;d allow that awful woman in his church.</em>”</p>
<p><em>The minister&#8217;s work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. <strong>We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members </strong>[emphasis added]. </em></p>
<p><em><strong>The propaganda of the Negro Project was that birth control meant better health</strong>. So on this premise, the BCFA designed two southern Negro Project “demonstration programs” to show <strong>“how medically-supervised birth control integrated into existing public health services could improve the general welfare of Negroes, and to initiate a nationwide educational program</strong>.” </em>”</p></blockquote>
<p>The project is working. Blacks lead the nation almost 2-to-1 in abortions. Abortion is the #1 killer of blacks, accounting for more deaths than all other medical conditions…combined. Finally a program the government can claim as successful.</p>
<p>Given this track record in the black community, it should come as no surprise that we would be the first step on the socialize medicine road show.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, abortion or genocide is the Democrats’ and the government’s singular success in the black community. Blacks lead negatively in almost all cultural categories. Healthcare would certainly fit in a negative category.</p>
<p>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/uncle-toms-cabin1.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1055" title="uncle tom's cabin" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/uncle-toms-cabin1-300x221.jpg" alt="uncle tom's cabin" width="300" height="221" /></a>Blacks have a history of diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and heart disease, and we have the lowest life expectancy of all other cultures in America. Now you might be thinking that with these statistics, socialized medicine can do nothing <em>but </em>help blacks. Well you would be wrong. Like with all government programs, blacks will get the dregs. But we will have nobody to blame but ourselves.</p>
<p>The idea that Obama is using religion to wage his argument shows his desperation. But it is more telling that of how he views blacks as ignorant pawns. Blacks flocked to religion in the 1860s as a means of escaping the oppression of the Democrat slave owners. To make amends [chuckle], Democrats set up programs that have ruined the black family and made us the cultural laughing stock of America.</p>
<p>Now Obama wants to tap into that religion emotion strictly to pass a bill that he hasn’t read and doesn’t understand. It’s purely philosophical. Government should provide [fill in the blank] to all people.</p>
<p>Government programs have all but <em>ruined </em>the black community. So let’s just throw more fuel on the fire and give the government even more control over whether black people live or die. Control of blacks from the cradle to the grave. Margaret Sanger would be proud of Obama, just as he is of her.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-447" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="michelle-obamas-arms" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/michelle-obamas-arms.jpg" alt="michelle-obamas-arms" width="200" height="300" />Conspicuous by her absence in the Middle East was Amerika&#8217;s buff First Lady. One might think that Barack didn&#8217;t want Michelle&#8217;s well-chiseled arms to be a distraction from <em>his</em> manliness in dealing with the Arabs. However the reason is much simpler: Muslim culture is patriarchal—to put it politely—and Michelle would have been treated like…a <em>second-class</em> citizen. [Gasp!]</p>
<p>To quote Cleavon Little from <em>Blazing Saddles</em>, &#8220;Where da white women at?&#8221; Liberal white women&#8217;s outrage has been noticeably absent in all of this. And black Democrat women aren&#8217;t exactly a chorus of disapproval either. In fact, I have heard nothing in the lamestream media about this. It&#8217;s all been about <em>Barack</em>.  The MAN!  Is even our media complicit in the mistreatment of women by not exploring such an abomination?</p>
<p>You would think that a trip of such potential importance, a visit that could further the cause of women&#8217;s rights at the global level <em>demanded</em> a visit by the First Lady. After all the atrocities Michelle has been through in her life as a middle-class black woman, being kept down by &#8220;the man.&#8221; She had to battle her way through affirmative action to get a &#8220;race pass&#8221; into Princeton. And ever looming was &#8220;the man,&#8221; there to prevent her from succeeding despite her Ivy League pedigree.</p>
<p>Michelle fought the man, landing cushy jobs, where ironically her increases in income grew—<em>geometrically</em>—as the stature of her husband grew.  How <em>did</em> she survive those turbulent times?  Amerika, <em>that</em> is <em>OPPRESSION</em>, and even a <em>fool</em> can recognize it.  <em>What is ya, ignant</em>?!</p>
<p>Michelle &#8220;Three Guns&#8221; [I hope somebody gets that] Obama could have proclaimed,</p>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">&#8220;…<em>For the first time in my adult Muslim now privileged Black Camelot life, I am proud</em>…!&#8221;</div>
<p>Because of her vast experience with oppression, Michelle would have easily spotted the oppression of her Muslim sisters. And with the hoopla that is Obama, she could have struck a blow for womankind across the globe, drawing attention to the mistreatment suffered by Muslim women. Sadly, she didn&#8217;t even make the trip.</p>
<p>Imagine if Barack had said to the Muslim people,</p>
<div style="margin-left: 36pt;">&#8220;<em>Your treatment of women is deplorable. The Muslim world needs to take a lesson from the United States in advancing the rights of women</em>?&#8221;</div>
<p>Now <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>that</em></span> would have been newsworthy!</p>
<p>There was no such declaration from Barack, who joyously proclaimed all facets of his Muslimness, during the visit. &#8216;Mum&#8217; was the word on the Muslim world&#8217;s treatment of women, and Barack proved to the Muslims that he had his woman in check. Michelle was made to stay home with the &#8220;chirrens,&#8221; like a good, obedient Muslim wife.</p>
<p>Michelle was in the safety and comfort of America, probably sauntering about the White House, donned in her new designer wardrobe ($600 tennis shoes and all) in scene reminiscent of Black Camelot—in other words, she was not relegated to wearing the traditional Muslim garb that she would have been required to wear had she made the trip. All together now—&#8221;<em>Second-class citizen</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-444" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="BRITAIN G20 PALACE" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-kissing-saudi-hand-300x238.jpg" alt="BRITAIN G20 PALACE" width="312" height="249" />The NOW generation white women should be up in their flabby arms over all of this lack of respect for the First Lady and the opportunity to help half a <em>billion</em> Muslim women around the globe, but sadly they are silent. Apparently women&#8217;s rights only apply to &#8220;white women with lesbian or bi-sexual tendencies who vote Democrat?&#8221; Why send the First Lady to protect a bunch of Muslim women, when there are important issues here in the states to deal with—like the celebration of LGBT month!</p>
<p>As for Barack, he knew the amount of media coverage Michelle&#8217;s visit would have garnered. There was no way he was going to showcase the treatment of women, particularly how the other half of Black Camelot would be treated—<em>like all other Muslim women</em>…at least publicly.  Can&#8217;t have that sort of thing showcased around the globe lest it make Muslims look bad.</p>
<p>Michelle would have been a distraction, and might have made Obama forget his place. Such a distraction could cause Barack to do something stupid—like grovel to the Arab world or even worse…kiss a Saudi&#8217;s hand.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

Keep in mind that in <em>Angels and Demons</em> dark forces are attempting to destroy the Catholic Church.  <em>The irony</em>!<br />
<span>Reverend Sorin, the founder of Notre Dame must be rolling over in his grave at the idea of Obama speaking.  And for you real historians, Obama&#8217;s commencement speech at Notre Dame offends either Constantine or Jesus Himself—the real Messiah.  <em>You are the rock upon which I shall build my church</em> – Saint Peter.</p>
<p>I say to Notre Dame the same thing I asked Catholics after the election:  <em>What the heck were you thinking</em>?  Catholics voted overwhelmingly for Obama.  To be religious and voting for Obama are mutually exclusive.  You simply cannot have <em>both</em>.  And neither can Notre Dame.</p>
<p>I know that Obama claims that he is religious; however I say definitively that he is not.  Obama has very few beliefs that mimic religion.  Obama worships at the altar of Obama.  He is not a Christian, and has revised our founding fathers&#8217; stated purpose, saying that America is not a Christian nation—a blatant lie.  America is a country that welcomes all faiths; however America <em>was</em> founded on Christian values.  I can only conclude that Obama is attempting to destroy religion…at least religion in America.  And Notre Dame is providing the stage.</p>
<p><em>Obama the Impious</em> has been to church <em>once</em>, since getting selected as president. Prior to that, he attended church for political expediency for twenty years.  There is no way a true Christian would attend Trinity United church for a month, much less twenty years.  For the &#8220;partiers&#8221; still attending this so-called church—they are there for the <em>show</em>.  People who attend Trinity United are <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>not</em></span> there to find God, though God is there.  But he is just shaking his head at those fools.</p>
<p>Trinity United church is full of black racists and bigots—sprinkled with a few white apologists, aka &#8220;meddlers.&#8221;  Twenty years in a <em>real</em> church and you <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>cannot</em></span> support partial-birth abortion. Twenty years in Trinity United hearing Black Liberation Theology, and as Obama said, [pp] &#8220;…<em>determining when life begins is above his pay grade.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I wrote a while back in <a href="http://theblacksphere.blogspot.com/2008/11/abortion-for-dummies.html"><em>Abortion for Dummies</em></a> that of the 6.5B people in the world today, and the 6B who are now deceased, I defy <em>anybody</em> to tell me which ONE of these people skipped the moment of conception?  Give me just <em>ONE</em>?  A simple conclusion to when life begins, and it is above Obama&#8217;s pay grade? Yet my 16-year old understands when life begins <em>completely</em>.   Apparently Notre Dame doesn&#8217;t get it either.</p>
<p>Perhaps if Margaret Sanger were alive, she might be getting <em>her</em> honorary degree from Notre Dame since <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI67MuPwsX0">Obama exalts the high priestess of racism</a>.  The well-documented public views of Sanger were that abortion could be used to destroy &#8220;undesirables.&#8221;  This is what racist Democrats of today say—<em>behind closed doors.</em></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShC3hedZIsI/AAAAAAAABMU/MFNaJJXO2U8/s1600-h/angels_and_demons.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShC3hedZIsI/AAAAAAAABMU/MFNaJJXO2U8/s320/angels_and_demons.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></span></span></span></span>Notre Dame needs a reality check.  The way I see it, the university has been corrupted.  I don&#8217;t know who has gotten to them, though I have my suspicions.</p>
<p>Here is what Obama said at Notre Dame according to <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_notre_dame">Yahoo News</a>:</p>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;"><em>&#8220;But he still implored the University of Notre Dame&#8217;s graduating class and all in the U.S. to stop &#8220;reducing those with differing views to caricature. Open hearts. Open minds. Fair-minded words. It&#8217;s a way of life that always has been the Notre Dame tradition.&#8221;"<br />
</em></p>
<p>Reducing those with differing view to caricature?  I will make it simple—those with differing views are murderers.  And then he invokes Notre Dame &#8220;tradition,&#8221; when it suits his purposes.  But let&#8217;s not forget what our differing views are.</p>
<p>Obama is not just <em>for</em> abortion.  Obama is so for infanticide, as he said here:</p>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;">&#8220;<em>I&#8217;ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don&#8217;t want them punished with a baby</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>A dark force is indeed attacking the Catholic Church.  I&#8217;m just here to point him out to you.  And that same dark force is attacking the core values of America.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>
