POPSU.N. Red and U.S. “Progressives” Plan Socialist World Government Now, even the New York Times is paying attention to what this crackpot has been up to. D'Escoto, the Times said, believes the way out of the global financial crisis "should be lined with all manner of new global institutions, authorities and advisory boards," including the Global Stimulus Fund, the Global Public Goods Authority, the Global Tax Authority, the Global Financial Products Safety Commission, the Global Financial Regulatory Authority, the Global Competition Authority, the Global Council of Financial and Economic Advisers, the Global Economic Coordination Council, and the World Monetary Board. D'Escoto is the former foreign minister of Communist Sandinista Nicaragua and Catholic Priest of the Maryknoll Order who advocates Marxist-oriented liberation theology and won the Lenin Peace Prize from the old Soviet Union.

POPSFrankfurt School Reigns Supreme at Notre Dame Hours of conversation, study, and prayer with my peers in ministry taught me that we want the Catholic community to lead the work of creating a just society," says Claire Noonan. The Program Organizer for Social Justice and Next Generation at Call to Action in Chicago, she creates educational programs and sustained action campaigns focusing on sweatshop labor. Oh, brother, there's that word "Chicago" again. Now, in my mind "social justice" has always been a codeword for Marxism, or in this case, the ecclesiastical equivalent, "Liberation Theology." Of course many Jesuits have been unfortunately drawn into that false ministry. But where is any reference to Catholic, or even biblical teachings? The Jesuit School at Berkeley is a member of the Graduate Theological Union, which has many ties to the Frankfurt School. Jenkins also attended Oxford University, and Oxford has also been penetrated by the Frankfurt philosophy.

POPSAnother Stark Raving Lunatic Fringe Religion
"Mary and Gus sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G... First came love, second came marriage, third came babies in the carriage. HOW MANY BABIES DID THEY RECEIVE? 1, 2, 3, etc." This is what the religion called Quiferfull, reminds me of. The kid Jumping Rope game of skipping rope until it tangles around your ankles... Well, to these Quiverfull females its NO GAME, they do it for real. I have always wondered why religion doesn't seem to make any sense at all. In fact it encourages people not to use their brain and curiosity to gain knowledge. Just accept, no matter how miserable it makes you. Well, if any follower would open their eyes for just one moment, they would see that behind the nonsensical dogma there stands a MAN. A misogynous male who preys upon masochistic females. My god, if there was a God, would such a being promote this kind of behavior...:-? I THINK NOT! :mad: lunatic fringe n. The fanatical, extremist, or irrational members of a society or group.

POPSShock! Pope Benedict Misrepresented By Media "It is necessary to have something like an ecology of man, understood in the right sense. It is not outdated metaphysics when the Church speaks of the nature of the human being as man and woman, and asks that this natural order be respected." From reading the articles linked above, you'd think that the Holy Father had just off the top of his head said, "Merry Christmas! And by the way, all you gay people are going to Hell." In none of the articles linked above will you find a single reasoned response to the metaphysical and ontological arguments presented in the Pope's address. All you will find is foamy-mouthed crotch-liberation theology. Is there such a thing as the ideal setting for sexuality as created by God? It's awful hard to deny. And it's not homophobic to say so.

POPSWhen The Messiah Speaks, The Youth Will Hear “Not sure the Obama team will be thrilled about yet another crazy association,” added another commenter on the NewsBusters forums page. Previous reports have documented Obama’s links to Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga, onetime Weatherman bombing suspect Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who proclaimed a black liberation theology for 20 years while Obama was a member of his church, demanding that God “d***” America. “How much more have to come out on Obama before the O-Bots put down the kool-aid and say ENOUGH!” added a third. “Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus,” Cohen said during a one-minute speech on the floor of the U.S. House yesterday. “Pontius Pilate was a governor.” Democrats, including party strategist Donna Brazile and Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., made nearly identical biblical comparisons of the characters in this presidential election Is Barack Obama the Messiah? http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/

POPS Obama and Ayers: A Radical Pentagon Bomber NYTimes
Since earning a doctorate in education at Columbia in 1987, Mr. Ayers has been a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the author or editor of 15 books, and an advocate of school reform. Steve Chapman, a columnist for The Chicago Tribune, defended Mr. Obama’s relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his longtime pastor, whose black liberation theology and “God damn America” sermon became notorious last spring. But he denounced Mr. Obama for associating with Mr. Ayers, whom he said the University of Illinois should never have hired. “I don’t think there’s a statute of limitations on terrorist bombings,” Mr. Chapman said in an interview. The Schools Project The Ayers-Obama connection first came to public attention last spring, when both Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Obama’s Democratic primary rival, and Mr. McCain brought it up. the archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge at the University of Illinois were opened to rese

POPSDown The Memory Hole at ABC News It's one thing to delete comments that are profane, trolling, personal attacks, or off-topic. Deleting a comment that lays out a compelling case for a more extensive investigation of the multi-decade relationship between a Presidential candidate and a terrorist? That's partisan censorship of the most biased kind.

POPSTell the truth about race in America "to talk today requires a different and perhaps deeper courage when confronted with so many mirages of equality. It is tempting to be confused by these oases of opportunity and forget the desert of inequality through which most people are still struggling." "The demand for justice is divisive and culturally closed: it divides those who seek justice from the unjust. It rejects a culture that promotes individual or corporate profit at any cost." "Too many people want to take the short cut. They want African-Americans to reconcile themselves to a government, which does not represent them, actively disenfranchises them, destroys their homes (and whole cities if need be), imprisons their children and ships the rest off to war, and never ask why or who is responsible. This is the reconciliation „on the cheap“ -- cheap for white and corporate America that is." - Brother Bede Vincent

POPSSometimes Unrelated Events Tell A Coherent Story We don't need people like either Jeremiah Wright or Barack Obama to take us backward. People on the far left like to flatter themselves that they are for the poor and the downtrodden. But what is most likely to lift people out of poverty-- telling them that the world has done them wrong or promoting the work ethic. Will they have the skills of science, technology or medicine? Or will they have only the resentments that have been whipped up by the likes of Jeremiah Wright or the sense of entitlement from the government that has been Barack Obama's stock in trade?

POPS Obama And The Tale Of Icarus You know, I have been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ since 1992. I have known Reverend Wright for almost 20 years. The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago. His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but I believe that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate and I believe that they do not portray accurately the perspective of the black church. They certainly don't portray accurately my values and beliefs. And if Reverend Wright thinks that that's political posturing, as he put it, then he doesn't know me very well. And based on his remarks yesterday, well, I may not know him as well as I thought, either. (transcript of Obama's response to Wright's remarks.

POPSBehind Reverend Wright Barack Obama's former pastor is in the news again, making three public appearances since Friday. Even with all of his comments, it's nice to have some background information on black liberation theology, the discipline in which Wright was educated. I did a Q&A with James Cone of New York City's Union Theological Seminary, and he touched on some topics that shed light on the issues that concern Wright and Obama -- like how the black community in America is, inevitably, angry. Read the Q&A for more enlightening background. Talking to him really helped inform my perspective on these complicated issues.

POPSObama, The Secret Six, and Black Liberation Theology--Civil War Continues Obama has come under closer scrutiny due to his close association with, and membership in the church of, his pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright who teaches what is being exposed as radical Black Liberation Theology, which under pretense of religion, advocates revolutionary agenda that has its roots in the abolitionist terrorist John Brown and the (much unknown) Secret Six who started "red republicanism", which fomented the so-called Civil War. People should read more about this and they will see that Jeremiah Wright, and even the lesser radicalism of Obama (or is it less?) is part of the same agenda of continued social revolution, violent or by lesser means of coercion. A black theologian at Covenant Theological Seminary has written articles, and been on TV, showing the Marxist Roots of Black Liberation Theology .

POPSThe Archbishop and the Beast There's been a sudden increase of blogging about liberation theology since Barack Obama's pastor hit the headlines. It has brought forth some very strange comments and perceptions, such as that those, who like Archbishop Romero were crushed by the power of the state for opposing the abuse of power actually supported what they opposed.

POPSThe voices in the wilderness While the inept press fawn over the words of a charlatan we should not forget that he said nothing profound. Mixed in his barrage of blame and support for hate was nothing new. The press describes this as a speech dignifying racial harmony? The call for racial harmony is empty when made with utter contempt for the feelings of all Americans while showing your support for a racist preacher with an ideology founded on racism called Black Liberation Theology. There are those speaking out. They have been speaking out for decades wihtout appealing to failure, blame, pity, and excuse-making. We should not forget them.
