Surprise, surprise, surprise. Back on September 17, 2009, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor (or perhaps we should say “ex-spiritual mentor” since he was unceremoniously thrown under the bus for political expediency) gave a speech to the New York Society for Ethical Culture.
He praised socialist magazine Monthly Review, expressed his affection for socialism and Marxism (especially what he calls “no nonsense Marxism) and reiterates his belief that America is the “land of the greed and home of the slave.”
“No nonsense Marxism.” We think that’s the kind that Josef Stalin practiced.

I don't think Wright or his ilk are truly Marxist. "Fashionable Marxists" perhaps, but not true Marxists. If they really believed in that crap, why then haven't they abandoned America long ago and moved to Cuba, North Korea, China, North Viet Nam, or some other Communist State to "Live the Marxist Dream"? My best guess is because they know they couldn't get away with running their mouths about "injustices" or more importantly, live at the level of creature comfort they currently enjoy. Imagine Jeremiah, Barry, or Nancy and their ilk with no civil liberties, restricted or no internet, and the omnipresent threat of being denounced (and imprisoned or executed) for disagreeing with even the tiniest point of ideology the government wants to force down their collective throats. No, they're "Fashionable Marxists" because at the end of the day, all they really want is to bring attention to themselves by crying foul and exercise their RIGHTEOUS BIGOTRY. Take that freedom away from them and they'll deflate like a punctured balloon. I'll bet when their dream doll Obongo gets through disenfranchising the people who disagree with his anti-capitalist stance and he works his way around to start infringing on the freedoms and liberties they (the Fashionable Marxists) still enjoy presently, their song will change.
The "rev" embodies the Hollywood/celebrity mantra "any publicity, good or bad" - this goon just likes his name in print. Period. We should give him the amount of attention we would afford a whiney child - that is, none!
I am certainly no Obama fan but find this reverend "wrong"'s credibility at the same level.
Go wash that dirty mouth out with some real Holy Water, rev.
Behold, the rise of the Religious Left. It's only going to get worse as Hispanics flood the country.
The type of "religion" Rev.J.Wright preaches is a bastardized version taken from South America that incorperates marxism into religion. Obama sat in this guys church for 20 years, & I'll tell you something, he already believed what Wright was preaching long before he was a member of Trinity United. This SOB is not smart enough to shut his damn mouth & will just expose more Americans to what Obama is all about. I hope he keeps spewing his hate, because I want this shit right out in the open. Rev.Wright is trash, & the more he talks, the more people will figure it out.
As I have said from the start USN-obama's biggest threats come from his lefty buddies who he is going to screw when he is done with them....they will be the ones to rise up and potentially do the unthinkable. It won't be a conservative in the end-it will be a wright, ayers type, or a muslim that is pissed that barry hasn't yet implemented shariah nationwide!
Concur. But imagine Barry's surprise when he in turn purged is after a doctrinally "purer" leader comes on the scene. Oopsie. Shouldn't have formed that Civilian Army after all.
Speaking of which, has anyone heard more about that army? Still in the planning stage? Quietly being formed?
he has "activated" a giant amount of active-duty Army, Marine, and USAF inside the US. That is the worst threat there is, besides the Russian and Chinese NUKE ships that thundered into SF harbor 2 weeks ago-fully armed!
I think it is safe to say, between the NBP's and faraCON's army of islamofascists, he already has an adept army of people who want to murder whitey en masse, so any further formation is probably not necessary right now.
And then there is the whole idea of funding that domestic army with as large a budget as the Pentagon, which is right out due to, oh the 50 new welfare programs for friends and family, and democrats he has undertaken in the last 18 months....we may be safe from that domestic army for a while!
Hi Matthew, Thanks for the update.
I suspect what Comrade Wright envisions is a Black Marxist state where all government power, businesses, services etc. are under the control of "persons of color", and whitey is disenfranchised under JimCrow laws re-writes.
Sadly, they're already doing that is South Africa with disasterous economic and social results. But, never let the facts get in the way hatred and the "true way".
If Comrade Wright read a bit of history he would learn that "fifth-columnists" and "fellow travelers" ( useful idiots ) like himself are generally the first to be purged by the Party. After the now-achieved dream of the Marxist state turns into a nightmare, and disillusionment sets in when they learn that they don't get to sit on the "big house" front porch sipping mint juleps while whitey picks de cotton, they might become dangerous as potential dissidents preaching AGAINST Marxism.
Respectable Bigotry (Liberal Myopia/Hypocrisy): Liberal people rightly see the bigotry of blaming the wrong-doing of an irresponsible, aberrant few on a whole group of innocent, responsible people. But while these crusaders are commendably eager to oppose racism, gay bashing, and other evils they recognize as bigotry, it does not excuse their inability to recognize their own bigotry. On the contrary, it compounds that bigotry with myopia, if not hypocrisy. Now it's "Blame the White Guy."
moving us away from a herd mentality by adopting marxism or socialism? that is MORE like a herd society!
No-nonsense Marxism? Is that the kind where you follow it to the T-and swiftly stamp out religion? Seems to me like Reverend Dipshit doesn't quite know his history! What do you suppose he will say about his family members, who there must be, who don't espouse his same hatred of western thinking, and who won't go along with Marxism, who are swiftly exterminated? What about when those Marxists take his 8,000 sq ft home in the gated community he lives in, bought on DONATIONS from his "parishoners", and give it to one of their Politbureau buddies?
It would seem to me, as always, the retard spoken of herein, like most retards on the left are bereft of any education as to what it is they espouse so ardently. It would seem to me, guys like Reverend Dipshit, and his pupil Barry Stoetoro, don't get what it is that they are pushing for.........Gosh, I love surprises-I hope they do!
Brilliant post, Matthew.... I was going to go further, in that most, the vast majority of black folks know absolutely nothing about their own cultural history in this country (but blacks don't have any franchise on that ignorance, apparently). Marxism is the highest form of slavery, and makes democrat entitlement programs look like unbelievable wealth! The fact is entitlement programs are specifically designed to keep people down and subservient, and unfortunately, and primarily directed at black folks.........marxism goes a thousand steps further....all you need to know is a little history...not even that much for Christ's sake!
He lives is a 6 million dollar home , lives with all those greedy rick people
If he hates Anerica so much, he can pick a country and move there. I won't miss him.
Most anyplace else, he wouldn't be allowed to preach his hatred, and he'd probably be dirt poor. I seem to recall a line about "biting the hand that feeds you" but I guess he didn't learn that one.
Bingo!
