God Damn Reverend Wright

I am horrified by the words coming out of Reverend Wright’s mouth and the crazy things he believes. I tried to accept that he was misunderstood, or that he speaks for a culture that I may not understand, but this weekend he went to the National Press Club and explained his positions – to my utter dismay. How can any man believe such things? Especially a Reverend! It is astounding that any American would accept as true such outlandish ideas.

I cannot stand the idea that a future president would have ever gone to a church where the Reverend stood at the pulpit and uttered such insane phrases this...


The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.


It is horrifying that any man in this day and age would hold onto such a viewpoint – and even more horrifying that he would preach it to his flock. Church is a place where we tell the truth... such as, Jesus died on the cross, was then buried, rose from the dead and now lives at the right hand of his Father, making intercession for the believers forever. That is what church is for, not to spew the make believe ideas that have no basis in fact. Who would believe such insane nonsense?

When Wright first became part of the primary story, he was quoted saying, “God Damn America.” What kind of nut believes God would damn America? We are a good and decent nation. I do not believe God will damn us, at least not the true believers, like myself, who are lucky to be living in the End Time, when the son of God will return, the righteous will enter heaven, and sinners will be condemned to eternal hellfire. As an American, I am offended to hear Wright’s hate speech and don’t understand how someone can believe such crazy things.

The time has come to openly question Barack Obama’s beliefs. After all, he did attend this man’s church for 20 years. Does Obama believe, as Wright said this week, that…


Louis Farrakhan is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century.


It is incredibly hateful to hold a reckless anti-Semite, like Farrakhan, in such high-esteem. Wright believes in Farrakhan and Farrakhan believes the Jews are evil. As a good American, I cannot disagree more. We faithful fully support Israel because we believe the 1948 creation of the nation marked the first event in the "countdown to Armageddon.” The Jews must reside in the land of Israel for The End Times to occur, which is why we back Israel. So, obviously a good American cannot support the hate speech of Mr. Farrakhan.

We really must begin to question whether or not Barack Obama has the same values as Mr. Wright. Does Obama also believe that on 9/11 our “chickens were coming home to roost?” Such wild fantasies are completely unfounded and are greatly at odds with any normal American, who believes that after the Rapture nonbelievers left behind on earth will endure seven years of unspeakable suffering called the Great Tribulation, which will culminate in the rise of the Antichrist and the final battle of Armageddon between God and Satan. And that upon winning that battle, Christ will send all unbelievers into the pits of hellfire, re-green the planet, and reign on earth in peace with His followers for a millennium. I’m sorry, Mr. Wright, Americans are good people.

I seriously question whether or not Wright can hold onto widespread American beliefs and dispel such racist and hateful thoughts at the same time. Who is this man? And why is he such a good friend of Obama? I do not adhere to the disturbing beliefs of Reverend Wright and I don’t think most Americans do either.

So, Reverend Wright, you may take your insane ranting and leave America forever. We don’t want your kind here, especially because Jesus is coming back any day now to kill the homosexuals.

Wright's got some issues, I'm going to not argue about that. Some of the things he says are flat out wrong. Just to be fair though, the God Damn America was not a request for God to sweep down and destroy our country. The context was, America's promising all these things and not delivering on that promise to some of its people. America sings "God Bless America" for being so great but all this is under the surface, so damn them for not doing what they promised. The man doesn't win any tact or eloquence points on that one, but if you rephrase it as "America has been weighed, and measured, and found wanting" it makes more sense, and I believe that's what he meant.

The chickens coming home to roost is widely attributed to be a quote from a US government official, though I'm not 100% sure about that. That said, if your policy is to support Islamic extremist regimes to keep the oil flowing and defeat Communism, and one day the Islamic extremists decide they want to attack you, how is that not chickens coming home to roost. NO ONE is saying that it was justified or fair or good that all those innocent people died and so many lives were shattered. But it is completely fair to say that 9/11 is in part a consequence of short-sighted US policy regarding the Middle East, our long term energy plans, and the borders of the Islamic world and the Communist world.

As for the homosexuals comment, ironically his church was known for being particularly welcoming to gays and lesbians. That's one thing he did right.

This is not intended as a statement of support for Rev. Wright. A lot of the things he said ranged from unfair to offensive and crazy. But if you're over 50 and Black in this country, you've seen some awful things, and it's hard not to be bitter. I listen to my father's stories of growing up in American Apartheid and it's something.

When Kenedy was killed Malcolm X said, "it was chickens coming home to roost." X was right back then, and When Ward Churchill said it in his great book: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens... vis-a-vis 9/11 he was right as well.
