So what was the stuff coming out of Wright's mouth during those 20 years? Specific, verified quotes, please.

An interesting primer for Wright's views on biblical exegesis and the application of Afrocentrism to Christian theology can be found here:

http://books.google.com/books?id=f6RPAL ... &q&f=false

Here are some choice quotes that provide the geneal flavor of his ideology:

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God d*mn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. God d*mn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God d*mn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."


"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."


"America is still the No. 1 killer in the world."


"In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns."


"Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run. No black man will ever be considered for president, no matter how hard you run Jesse [Jackson] and no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body."


“When enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit [Gaddafi] with Farrakhan, a lot of his [Obama's] Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.”


"We started the AIDS virus. We are only able to maintain our level of living by making sure that Third World people live in grinding poverty."


"The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied."


Listen to the video material on Youtube. What we have here is a visceral racist, ethnic chauvinist, and extreme anti-American leftist who's overall views are easily placed within the general framework of the philosophy of the likes of Leonard Jefferies, Louis Farrakhan, Elijah Mohammed, and the worst of the Afrocentrist/black power/neo-Marxist tradition of racial separatism and permanent racial grievance.

But this is only the tip of the iceberg regarding Obama's core intellectual development in his youth.

Well, Mitt Romney ended up winning over Rick Santorum in the Michigan Primary after all. I think that the main reason why Mitt Romney ended up beating Rick Santorum in the Michigan Primary, is because Rick Santorum couldn't keep his social con trap shut.

Here was the entire quote:

I'm glad you finally got around to the Union Label Moksha, because the perceived necessity of the bailouts are rooted in decades of economically irrational and unsustainable Union contract demands, and it is the Unions, for all intents and purposes, to whom the bailout is really directed.

We are using taxpayer money to bailout the UAW and its greedy workers ensconced on a gravy train that has finally (but not for the first time) gone off the tracks. The disciplines of the free market should be given full reign to clear the economic deadwood here and determine the future form and structure of the U.S. auto industry such that it is both sustainable and ultimately serves the consumer, and not narrow producer interests.



Just hard truths that must be told. Nothing more.

Michigan's unemployment rate falls again; January's 9 percent is lowest since September 2008:

The Auto bailouts very much appears to have helped the economy in Michigan. Unlike California, Michigan's economy has significantly approved during the last couple of years. President Barack Obama will very much likely win Michigan in the General Election.

That's the way Keynesian "bailouts" and "stimulus" work, of course. The people to whom the newly created money is transferred obtain an economic windfall, and their better situation is palpable.

Then there are the other people in the economy from who's pockets (and perhaps disproportionately) the stimulus money was taken, for from who's economic future the money was extracted in government debt, as lost jobs and jobs/opportunities forgone so the auto makers and unionized workers could prosper in hard times, and inflation, who have been harmed by such economic processes.

There is that which is seen, and that which is...?
