The Pastor of the church where the First Family attended Easter services this morning may not have intended to misinform his congregation but he most certainly did. Itn can be argued that his opinion is his own and he has a right to it. But I have an equal right to call his statement what it is, a bald-faced lie based on prejudice and error.
“It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling us back … for blacks to be back in the back of the bus … for women to be back in the kitchen … for immigrants to be back on their side of the border.” – Luis Leon, Saint John’s Church at Lafayette Square
I have no idea if this man of the cloth is political and merely expressing the standard leftist line or if he has indeed decided that the views he expressed resemble the true thinking of conservative Republicans or conservative Christians. Either way it is profoundly offensive to me that a pastor would disseminate such trash on Easter Sunday. Not one of his propaganda points express in any way the true ideas and feelings of conservatives, Tea Party supporters, or conservative/Republicans in leadership.
Another point is that if this was political in nature, rather than pure ignorance, the separation of church and state rhetoric of the left must once again be challenged as hypocritical.

We need to get the Mia Love message out to counter the progressive left’s version of what America is and what they want it to be. We need to speak up and stop the progressive left from defining us. We are the party of Lincoln who freed the slaves and not as Joe Biden said, “would put them back in chains.”
Mia Love excites convention crowd with story of the American Dream:
“Let me tell you about the America I know,” Love began. “My parents immigrated to the U.S. with ten dollars in their pocket, believing that the America they had heard about really did exist. When times got tough they didn’t look to Washington, they looked within,” she said.
“So the America I came to know was centered in personal responsibility and filled with the American dream,” she said.
“President Obama’s version of America is a divided one — pitting us against each other based on our income level, gender, and social status,” she said. “His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago, and no rhetoric, bumper sticker, or campaign ad can change that.”
“Mr. President I am here to tell you we are not buying what you are selling…
“The American Dream is our story. It is a story of human struggle, standing up and striving for more. It’s been told for over 200 years with small steps and giant leaps; from a woman on a bus to a man with a dream; and the bravery of the greatest generation, to the entrepreneurs of today,” she added.
“This is our story. This is the America we know because we built it,” she said, and the crowd went wild, a spontaneous cheer of “We built it” breaking out, rivaling another cheer of “U-S-A.”

The sermon sounded more like an Obumble campaign speech. Gotta wonder if the sermon was previously approved by the white house . . . .
Either that J or they just swim around in the same dank circles.
This man of God attacks the conservative right from the pulpit on Easter and gets a pass from the media while Dr. Carson at a national prayer breakfast talks about our nation’s problems and is vilified.
“They want to shut us up completely, and that’s why the attacks against me have been so vicious,” Carson said on the Mark Levin radio show. “I represent an existential threat to them. They need to shut me up, they need to get rid of me, they can’t find anything else to delegitimize me, so they take my words, misinterpret them, and try to make it seem that I’m a bigot.”
