Like many average Americans, the brouhaha swirling around Barack Obama’s church and former Pastor has prompted me to take a closer look at Black Liberation Theology. What I’ve found is disturbing at best and confirms the view that Pastor Wright’s trenchant statements are accurate representations of his church’s core beliefs. BLT is neither Christian nor, ironically, liberating, but its [...]

Race-baiters across the fruited plain are in full damage control, penning multiple op/eds attempting to provide cover for their exposed comrade, Pastor Jeremiah Wright.

Today we celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, a titan of America’s civil rights movement. An unequalled orator, the Baptist minister called on the nation to “rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” Adhering to non-violent [...]
