Something from Political Punch catches my eye this morning:
In another excerpt from Rev. Michael Pfleger’s sermon last Sunday, May 25, from the pulpit of Sen. Barack Obama’s now former church, Trinity United Church of Christ on the South side of Chicago, the longtime Obama associate condemns America for racism in fairly harsh terms.
“Racism is still America’s greatest addiction,” Pfleger says. “I also believe that America is the greatest sin against God.”
There seems to be a mixed reaction to that from the pews. But Pfleger explains:
“If the greatest command is to love, than the sin against love must be the greatest sin against God who IS love and who calls us to love one another. So that this greatest sin against God, racism, it’s as natural as the air we breath.”
(sic)
OK, let’s break this down. If racism is such a stain on our country, how is it we have a black presidential candidiate at all? Wouldn’t his attempt at the office have been sqaushed long ago?
I mean, leave at the side of the road for the moment the concept that he is so remakably unqualified for the position he holds, much less the position he seeks that he wouldn’t stand a chance for the position were he not a minority.
That he’s even there at all, suggests that the white on black racism of his complaint simply does not exist to the degree he claims.
The Catholic church needs to defrock this fool before he does the church any further damage.
And should we be pointing up that Pfleger’s been a ‘spiritual advisor’ to Barack Obama for 20 years?
