Now that Clinton is having another Ramadan dinner celebration, we still wonder how religion plays in this administration and which religion is favored? For a president to say he is mainstream Christian, it seems like that is the last religion he celebrates. I wonder if Clinton will be attending a couple Jewish dinners this September? We have included a religious calendar just so you can see which events our administration chooses to celebrate. Religious Calendar or Religious Calendar 2

We do not think that Obama is a Muslim, but he is very empathetic, so why? He is nationalizing everything..It is all about global unity, one world, collective salvation, globalizing economy, etc….

“Hilary Clinton wearing a hajib on more than one occasion and then critiizes Isreal. On a day when Israeli forces sealed off the West Bank and deployed riot squads around Jerusalem’s holy sites to contain Palestinian anger during weekly Muslim prayers, Clinton called the latest settlement approval a ‘deeply negative signal about Israel’s approach to the bilateral relationship … and had undermined trust and confidence in the peace process.’ Now a new dinner by Clinton respecting Ramadon, so HIJAB HILLARY to host yet ANOTHER Ramadan dinner at the White House”.

Then an interview that makes Obama no so much mainstream Christian but wanting a one world global religion? Wonder why Americans are so confused?

House press secretary Robert Gibbs claims Obama is just an ordianary maintstream Christian and why anyone would think he was anyting else makes no sense.Hmmmm?

Bill Press: For the last four days Glenn Beck has criticized the president for believing in liberation theology which he calls a Marxist form of Christianity. I’ve got two questions. One, does the president to your knowledge even know what liberation theology is?

Gibbs: I don’t know the answer to that. I will say this, Bill.Crude paraphrasing of an old quote and that is, people are entitled to their own opinion as ill informed as it may be, but they are not entitled to their own facts.The president is a committed mainstream Christian. No evidence that would guide me as to what Glenn Beck would have any genuine knowledge as to what the president does or does not believe.

Bill Press: So this Marxist form of Christianity?

GIBBS: Again I can only imagine where Mr. Beck conjured that from.

So if theology comes from where Obama attended church then this is disturbing since Christian trinity is very different from Liberation trinity:See mission statemnt on the website of the church that Barack Obama attended for 20 years:

Trinity United Church Quote: “The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology that started in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book Black Power and Black Theology, end quote.  James Cone, the pioneer of Black Liberation Theology, is a much admired figure at Trinity. Cone always refers to his theology that is institutionally embodied in Trinity. So the church itself says it’s a liberation theology church, the founder of liberation theology uses his church as an example of where it’s instituted.

Quote of Cone: Well, the cross, as I said, is God taking the side of the victim. It’s a symbol of that. God making ultimate identification with the powerless. Now, if the powerful in our society, the white people. They have to give up that power.
And become identified with the powerless, if you are going to be a Christian. You can’t be identified with the powerful and also a Christian at the same time. That’s a contradiction of terms. How do I know that you really are identifying with the victim? Well, if you are identifying with the victim, you not only want to feel good about that. You don’t just say please forgive me now. The only way in which your repentance, your forgiveness can be authentic, your reception of it can be authentic, your repentance can be authentic is that you give back what you took.

What we know:
They keep telling us he’s a mainstream Christian. Okay. Well, he attended a church that is a Black Liberation Theology church for 20 years. So far is this trinity different now?

So the founder of liberation theology is James Cone. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor, is a liberation theology pastor.

In his book For My People, Cone explains that the, quote, the Christian faith does not possess in its nature the means for analyzing the structure of capitalism. Marxism as a tool of social analysis can disclose the gap between appearance and reality and thereby help Christians to see how things really are. Marxism helps people see how things really are. He is advocating for Marxism. His disclosure of the ideological character of he says about Marx: His disclosure of the ideological character of bourgeois thought, indicating the connections between the ruling material forces of society and the ruling intellectual force, Marx’s thought is useful and attractive to Cone because it allows black theologians to critique racism in America on the basis of power and revolution. That’s what this liberation theology is all about. It’s about Marxism and empowering the victim.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: While the boys next to me doodled on their church bulletin, Reverend Wright spoke of Sharpsville and Hiroshima, the callousness of policymakers in the White House and in the statehouse.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port au Prince see in a year. Where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere. That’s the world on which hope sits.

REVEREND WRIGHT: To the people. My work with liberation theology, with Latin American theologians with the Black Theology Project and the Cuban Council of Churches taught me 30 years ago the importance of Marx and the Marxist analysis of the social realities of the vulnerable and the oppressed who were trying desperately to break free of the political economies undergirded by this country that were choking them and cutting off any hope of a possible future where all of the people would benefit. My exposure to the FMLN in El Salvador, the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and my presence at the 15th Jamahiriya in Libya taught me what I have read in the pages of the Monthly Review which is, as Joshua Stanton says, though we need not always agree with one another we must do the work necessary to at least understand one another, we must do the work necessary to at least understand one another.

Changes story: he’s denying it and denying it and then, by the way, admitting it and admitting it and then denying it and then admitting it and we’ve played that back and forth, too. None of these statements reveal a Biblical Christian perspective, but a Black Liberation trinity?

OLBERMANN: Did you know that he had made these statements before the videotape appeared?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You know, frankly I didn’t. I wasn’t in church during the time that these statements were made.

As 9/11 approaches, we shall see how administration reaches out to other communities besides Muslim. With the Mosque issue still being pushed and Americans pushing back…We will see how all this will affect the heart of America.
