People seem to hop on any train Clinton has leaving the station. The Clinton’s are arrogant. How arrogant is it to say sex isn’t sex when they catch you with your pants down and your …. in somebody’s mouth. How arrogant is it when you tell someone you were under sniper fire or hostile attack when visiting Bosnia, when you were not. Everyone is arrogant in some manner or sort. We should just tell the truth as it is and let the chips fall where they may. What are the issues the people want addressed and solved? Where is the integrity and honesty of the White House? Are we being heard, as Obama stated? or Are we being denied the right to have a fair and honest election? The voters will truly decide, or will they?

A little known (Military) history on Reverend J. Wright..WOW!!

PATRIOTISM is a word that’s

thrown around an awful lot by

politicians nowadays…

In 1961, a young African-American man, after hearing President John F.

Kennedy’s challenge to, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can

do for your country,” gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and

voluntarily joined the Marines.

In 1963, this man, having completed his two years of service in the Marines,

volunteered again to become a Navy corpsman. They provide medical assistance to the

Marines as well as to Navy personnel.

The man did so well in Corpsman School that he was the valedictorian and became a

cardiopulmonary technician.

Not surprisingly, he was assigned to the Navy’s premier medical facility, Bethesda Naval

Hospital, as a member of the commander in chief’s medical team, and helped care for

President Lyndon B. Johnson after his 1966 surgery.

For his service on the team, which

he left in 1967, the White House

awarded him 3 letters of

commendation.

What is even more remarkable is that this man entered the Marines and Navy not many

years after the two branches began to become integrated.

After leaving the service of his country, the young African-American finished his final

year of college, entered the seminary, was ordained as a minister, and eventually

became pastor of a large church in one of America’s biggest cities.

While this young man was serving

six years on active duty, Vice

President Dick Cheney, who was

born the same year as this

Marine/Sailor, received five

deferments, four for being an

undergraduate and graduate

student and one for being a

prospective father.

Presidents Bill Clinton and George

W. Bush, both five years younger

than the African-American youth,

used their student deferments to

stay in college until 1968. Both then

avoided going on active duty

through family connections.

So who is the real

Patriot?

The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country

for six years or our three political leaders who beat the system?

Are the patriots the people who actually sacrifice something or

those who merely talk about their love of the country?


This man is Rev. Jeremiah

Wright, retiring Pastor of Trinity

United Church of Christ.

From 1959 to 1961, Wright attended Virginia Union University,^[1]

in Richmond.

Inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 challenge to “Ask not what your

country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” Wright gave up his student

deferment, left college and joined the United States Marine Corps and became part of the

2nd Marine Division with the rank of private first class. In 1963, after two years of service,

Wright then transferred to the United States Navy and entered the Corpsman School at the

Great Lakes Naval Training Center, where he graduated as valedictorian.^[6] Having

excelled in corpsman school, Wright was then trained as a cardiopulmonary technician at

the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland where he graduated as

salutatorian.^[6] Wright was assigned as part of the medical team charged with care of

President Lyndon B. Johnson’s (see photo of Wright caring for Johnson after his 1966

surgery).

Before leaving the position in 1967,

the White House awarded Wright

three letters of commendation.^[7][8][9]

In 1967 Wright enrolled at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he

earned a bachelor’s degree in 1968 and a master’s degree in English in 1969. He also

earned a master’s degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School.^[6] Wright holds a

Doctor of Ministry degree (1990) from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio,

where he studied under Samuel DeWitt Proctor.

The Jeremiah Wright Statement: God Damn America

Many believe the “biblical” reference Rev. Jeremiah Wright made stating “…God Damn America…” indicated his hatred toward America. This was not hatred. It was biblically sound. This African American experience of Rev. Jeremiah Wright is legitimate.

Can we consider the following statements made by R.C. Sproul, who is white and the founder of Ligonier Ministries? Mr. Sproul is a philosopher, scholar and Christian. Mr. Sproul authored a tape series discussing the Church/State relationship to God. The CD tape series comes in 3 discs. The disc I shall reference has as its titles (1) Established Religion, (2) An Instrument of Evil, and (3) Civil Disobedience. The reference here is “An Instrument of Evil.”

The biblical reference as to the relationship to Church and State for Rev. Wright and Mr. Sproul is Ephesians 6:10-17, which reports “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms….” This describes the elements that communicate an authority in the hidden realm.

This writing will briefly discuss God and is He on America’s side; and is supported by the content of Mr. Sproul’s series.

With this, America endorses the “free exercise of religion”, which is separation of religion, labor and the state. If we are able to practice our religion then we, Rev. Wright and Sproul, are the defenders of our faith. Our country believes whether right or wrong, God is on our side. This cannot be true.

Evil satanic forces and governments, such as the Babylonians, the Roman persecution, Germany’s Hitler, Russia’s Stalin, America and its genocide of the Native American and Slavery, etc. are governments practicing wickedness. Human government can be demonized, can be instruments of demonization and can become corrupt. Any government can be corrupted to this level. President Reagan made reference to evil empires.

America can be so corrupt that they begin to serve the interest of the enemy rather than the interest of the Kingdom of God. The primary function of government as it is ordained by God is to maintain, sustain and protect the sanctity of human life. When a government’s programs, such as abortion or genocide of the unborn children is State sanctioned; When nations become agents of the destruction of human life; Government has abused its legal right to govern.

It is in this context God damns nations and governments. What makes you think or believe that God will not damn America? Any government, that so departs from God can be corrupted and will be damned by God. We as a people can so distort the truth to fit our own needs.
