Obama’s Childhood Church
|
June 14, 2009 … snip … Had a reporter asked Obama: "So what were you doing during Bill Ayers’ fugitive days?" An honest answer would be: "I was going to Sunday school at a church which had provided sanctuary to US military deserters." While John McCain was being tortured as a prisoner of war in Hanoi, First Unitarian Church of Honolulu — at which the elementary-age Obama would later attend Sunday school after returning from Indonesia in 1970 or 71 — was sheltering deserters and AWOLs recruited by ‘flirty fishing’ coeds from a Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) group known as "The Resistance". … snip … The contrast between the war hero POW and the Obama deserters’ church would have made a pretty good campaign commercial. But nobody in Honolulu spoke up to claim Obama’s First Unitarian connection until after Election Day. Even then it was hush-hush. … snip … These activists eventually won their war against America in Southeast Asia. They and those who admired them are now our professors, our journalists, our ministers, moviemakers, and politicians. One of their understudies is President of the United States. In 1973 and 1974 Nixon withdrew US troops from South East Asia. When the US war ended the real killing began. The Democrat-controlled Congress cut off US funding to the South Vietnamese and Cambodian governments. By April of 1975 Pol Pot took over Cambodia and began murdering as many as 3 million Cambodians. The Vietnamese communists murdered as many as 1.6 million people and forced millions more into exile as "boat people." Those deaths and the domestic political means which made them possible are the most accurate reflection on the generation of activists who raised Barack Obama and created his values. |
Just some food for thought.
