Wright is retired from his church. Obama gave him his one moment on the stage of history and he grabbed it with, as JFK would say “with great vigor.”
He is a showman. He probably hired an agent. A book is surely to be announced. He will profit greatly from his second act.
He thinks he is cute mocking the common sense of most Americas who will never sign up for his brand of anti-Americanism.
He pretends to be a victim standing up for “the black church.”
It is truly sad that those generations of young people who have succeeded from the generosity of his church will be imbued with a hatred for American that will go with them to their graves.
When are we going to learn from the past lessons of Jim Jones type leaders?
Wright is truly intelligent with the playfulness and giddiness of a clown acting up for all of us on the stage we have given him.
Why do we continue to drink his kool-aid?
Why would parents let their children (sitting in the pew, Sunday after Sunday) be the unsuspecting victims of such hatred for America?
America has never been perfect, but its leaders, in the past, have married a healthy skepticism for its faults with a continuing quest to seek solutions for its problems. Americanism is healthy because it is continuingly evolving.
Wright has robbed the children in his congregation of the right to be free from their pastor’s determination to foist a hate-America dogma onto an unsuspecting generation of young Americans.
What kind of leaders will emerge from this congregation?
