What is happening in this country? What is happening in Black America? Yesterday, I watched video of James Cone, the so-called Father of Black Liberation Theology, and I was shocked because he is obviously a few eggs shy of a...

Rod Dreher quotes Barak Obama’s own words:. His former pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is an unreconstructed ’60s radical, a fire-breathing disciple of James Cone’s period-piece black liberation theology. Mr. Obama wrote in his 1995 autobiography, Dreams From My Father, about his attraction to the leftist pastor’s church as a vehicle for social change. If [...]

The theology of James Cone is the true 'context' of Jeremiah Wright's infamous sermon snippets. Cone's views are, if anything, even more disturbing than what we've heard so far from Wright. In the latest issue of National Review, I provide an account of Cone's theology of 'black power.' You'll also find a surprising and disturbing history of Wright's church. (Thanks to Paul Mirengoff of Power Line...

So, what he's saying is that he's either a liar or an idiot . Somehow I doubt he sat there for 20 years while this guy raved and hadn't heard anything. Wright praised black supremacist Louis Farrakhan. Then he was quoted as saying , "I do not in any way disagree with James Cone. Jim is a personal friend of mine." Who's James Cone? Why, a black liberation "theologist," of course, one whose teachings...

Oh for the love of... When Obama goes to a church infused with James Cone-style liberation theology, when he makes ill-informed comments about working-class voters, when he bowls a 37 for crying out loud, voters are going to wonder if he?s one of them. Obama has to address those doubts, and he has done so poorly up to now.It was inevitable that the period of ?Yes We Can!? deification would come to...
