9/11, Barack Obama, Political wind

Obama’s racist and anti-Semitic spewing pastor

The Reverend Jeremiah said 'God damn America' and 'the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism' yet Barack Obama sat through two decades of his sermons.

At length, syndicated talk-radio host Mark Levin took Senator Barack Obama to task for his two decades of attending the Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s hate-filled sermons:

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright’s sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans. “The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,” he said in a 2003 sermon. “God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda’s attacks because of its own terrorism. “We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye,” Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

Me:

Those that seek to divide America cannot see past the color of their own skin when judging others.

America was attacked by Japan on December 7, 1941, and by Islamic-fascist terrorists on September 11, 2001. My father, like millions of Americans of all races — including Japanese-Americans — fought for America during World War II. In 1945, Army units, including those with many thousands of African-Americans in them, were headed for the Pacific to invade Japan. Low estimates at the time were at least 250,000 Americans and several million Japanese would die during the invasion. On 9/11, terrorists did not care what they were when they murdered 3,000 people; they indiscriminately slaughtered four children “of color” along with Jews, Muslims, Christians, and agnostics of all ages. Yet my brother-in-law, like many other Catholic Caucasian firefighters (and many others), ran upstairs trying to save them all.

Mark Levin’s inferred question is a valid one: how could Barack Obama attend that church and listen to two decades of Jeremiah Wright’s sermons without agreeing with him? I could not have sat there, not because of the color of my skin, but because I oppose racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric, no matter who is spewing it.

Gathering of Eagles, Support our troops

Gathering of Eagles vs Iraq Veterans Against War

by  • 

Reminiscent of John “Jengus Kon” Kerry, tomorrow and Saturday, members of Iraq Veterans Against War (IVAW) will conduct Winter Soldiers II. Frankly, I am surprised that Senator Kerry did not at least reserve them a meeting room in the Capitol building’s basement. Yet this is not 1971. Some have the courage to confront the past and present day liars. (Hat tip to Michelle Malkin):

And from Gathering of Eagles:

Iraq Veterans Against War plan on revisiting past shame by taking a page from the 1971 VVAW Winter Soldier Investigation (WSI). The IVAW is holding its own Winter Soldier Investigation this month at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, MD.

The unverified allegations by the original Winter Soldier Investigation were made famous by John Kerry’s congressional testimony where he characterized American soldiers as “razing villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan”. Unproven statements from the membership of the VVAW and John Kerry managed to smear the reputation of an entire generation of honorable soldiers. Decades later, Vietnam Veterans are still reeling from the egregious mischaracterization perpetrated by the VVAW.

The Iraq veterans Against War (Formed under Veterans For Peace) are attempting to do the same to this generation of men and women serving in our military. Select IVAW members are scheduled to make statements, and will do so without swearing an oath or signing legally binding depositions, affidavits or official reports. In essence, the IVAW are denying these individuals the basic right of American citizens to due process.

Not these troops — Not this war — Not this time.

The Gathering of Eagles is spearheading a campaign to counter the forthcoming IVAW Winter Soldier Investigation. This video is a compilations of GOE supporters from across the nation speaking out against this upcoming travesty of truth. This new generation of winter soldier’s will NOT have the opportunity to smear our troops with impunity. They will be held accountable for their statements.

Eagles up!
