    Take a good look at this residence and take pride because, as a practical matter, you helped pay for it or, at a minimum, contribute towards its purchase.

    Unless ownership has changed in the past six months, Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) is the owner of this residence. So the residence was purchased with TUCC funds, and TUCC receives those funds without paying income tax on them (as a tax-exempt entity). And donors receive a federal income tax deduction for contributions if they itemize their deductions on their individual returns.

    So enjoy.

Things must be much better in the US of KKA then the good reverend has led is flock to believe in. Too bad I have a conscience, believe in Judea Christian teachings, have a strong work ethic, love of America, and see everyone by who they are instead of the accident of birth deciding their skin pigmentation. I could really clean up if I would only sell my soul to Satan just like the good reverend appears to have.

This picture is of a mere hovel, where Mr. Wright takes much-deserved repose after his tireless daily work for the poor and downtrodden. His humble vows of poverty and purity in profound service to God are mocked by those wretched, heathen souls who simply cannot comprehend the African-American experience.

    Where does he get the money? Does he own it? Is he from a rich family? Is the money illegal? Is it a payoff from the Chicago political machine? Is the money siphoned from the church?

    I don’t know but it looks fishy.

    Cheats with a married woman and now this. This is not the kind of Christian clergyman that I know.

    What makes anyone believe that he is a Christian?

    Black Liberation Theology is nothing more than the Nation of Islam wrapped in a “Christian” façade.

    Why do you think Jeremiah Wright co-wrote a book praising Louis F@rr@kh@n’s Nation of Islam “Million Man March”?

    The Bible says:

    Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

    1 Corinthians 12:3

    Jesus is LORD!

    Jeremiah Wright is probably unable to say those three simple words. If he can’t publicly confess those three simple words, no one should believe that he is a Christian.

    Yet he has no problem saying “G-d D-mn”, which some could consider as violating the first half of that verse..

    …no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed…

    Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

    Matthew 7:15

     You do all realize, don’t you, that Obama’s plans to “spread the wealth” aren’t limited to the confines of our 50 states?

     He intends to steal our wealth and spread it GLOBALLY!

     I wrote about Obama’s Communist Global Poverty Act three months ago.
