			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In light of the Trinity United Church of Christ&#8217;s anti-American, anti-Semitic, and hateful, racist agenda being exposed worldwide by the media this past week, Obama&#8217;s church  has continued and even elevated its hateful agenda on Easter Sunday. Barack Obama&#8217;s Trinity United Church of Christ is either grievously ignorant, preposterously obtuse, or so defiled with racism, that it is operating on self-fueled hate.  It has thus far evidenced itself to be an aggregation of all three.  There does not seem to be any reprieve from any one of their afflictions on the horizon.</p>
<p><span id="more-126"></span></p>
<p>This Easter Sunday, the new Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, Otis Moss III, gave a sermon comparing the retiring Rev. Jeremiah Wright&#8217;s public lynching at the hands of the media to Jesus&#8217; death at the hands of the Romans.</p>
<p>On the holiest of days for the Christian religion, Easter Sunday, a polemic church that promotes heretical values antithetical to Christian doctrinal values has the audacity to compare Jeremiah Wright to Jesus. This church is endorsed, supported, and defended by presidential candidate Barack Obama. After 20 years of loyal involvement, this church is Barack Obama. Is it plausible to believe that Obama, who&#8217;s resume is void of any accomplishment of substance,  can intertwine this temperament with the standard of America, and vice versa, to form a &#8220;more perfect union&#8221;?</p>
<p>The one variable that Obama is discounting is standards.</p>
<p>Every society has standards that encapsulate the society as a whole and provide avenues for any imaginable form of advancement or satisfaction if done within the confines of the etiquette prescribed by the standards of society. Although this is only part of what defines a culture, it is integral. There has and will continue to be sub cultures. Some sub cultures were the result of unjust laws and societal constraints, and some were, and are currently, not. Most sub cultures are sects that refuse to accept the protocols of integration into society and live in the periphery by choice or by mesmerizing indoctrination.</p>
<p>Jeremiah Wright, the Trinity United Church of Christ, and the new standard bearer of this misguided ideology, Otis Moss III are determined to keep, at the very minimum, their congregation in sub-culture status. This is not just within the confines of the church, as these people leave the church on any given Sunday, and take with them the venom that permeates their very being into their ordinary life. They then attempt to engage mainstream America with opposing standards and counterproductive tools being supplied by their church. Any individual choosing to exist in a sub culture, will not succeed in the prevailing primary culture.</p>
<p>Example: if one desires money, conventionally, one works. If one desires more money, one acquires education or tries one&#8217;s hand at an entrepreneurial pursuit. If one desires more opportunities for money, they procure an advanced education. None of the prescribed procedures for money will be effective without one&#8217;s ambition being fueled by hard work and the absence of entitlement. Note: this example only applies to money because the perceived root of the problem and the cure that is being taught at Obama&#8217;s church seems to revolve around money from another branch of society.</p>
<p>There appears to be an emerging penumbra of racism within Obama by self decreed proxy.<br />
So don&#8217;t be distracted by his magniloquence rhetoric in defense of his church or any Black leader that speaks with a racist tongue. The following is a transcript of Obama&#8217;s appearance on the Michael Smerconish&#8217;s radio show. Obama has defended Trinity United Church of Christ by stating, &#8230;<em>&#8220;it is not a crackpot church. This is a pillar of the community and if you go there on Easter on this Easter Sunday&#8230; you would think this is just like any other church. &#8230; So I don&#8217;t want to suggest that somehow, the loops you have been seeing typifies the services all the time. That is the danger of the YouTube era. It doesn&#8217;t excuse what he said. But it gives it some perspective.</em>&#8221; No one, in any capacity or position, should be defended, at any level, if their means to an end is by perpetuating racism and hatred.</p>
<p>Keep your eye on the ball. Focus only on the ball. Barack Obama is the ball. Obama is going to have to address this Easter Sunday&#8217;s vitriolic sermon by his church. He cannot, at this point, with any authority, legitimately disassociate himself from his church and its continued rhetoric. Keep your eyes on Obama, and do not allow yourself to become mesmerized by his elocution.</p>
<p>According to Obama&#8217;s new pastor, Otis Moss, the church is in the midst of a battle, and needs money to fight this battle. He never mentioned, specifically, who their opponent was, only that money would alleviate the problem. Money can be donated to the &#8220;Resurrection Fund&#8221;. Jeremiah Wright was not in attendance at the Easter Sunday service, one could only assume, and presumptively so, that he was somewhere walking on water.  Since Obama was not in attendance either, perhaps Wright did as Jesus did with Peter, and held Obama&#8217;s hand so he could experience walking on water and bolster his faith in a faithless enterprise .</p>
