Huckabee isn't big-business, is a moral conservative, and is
moderately liberal on some issues. It's possible that some of the
liberal base could see him as a real alternative to the things they
don't like about the dems.

Some of us have a problem with the other Huckabee.

Barak Obama has mentioned, more than once, that he is a practicing
Christian and a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

Here is an about us from Trinity United.

"We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically
Christian. Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition
are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain
"true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of
civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of
slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is
God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address
injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our
trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service
and ministries which address the Black Community.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of
Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE
IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Also, the Pastor of Trinity United preaches the Black Value System
which is a form of liberation theology. The very first principle in
the Black Value System is:

The Black Value System

These Black Ethics must be taught and exampled in homes, churches,
nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect
the following concepts:

Commitment of God

"The God of our weary years" will give us the strength to give up
prayerful passivism and become Black Christian Activist, soldiers for
Black freedom and the dignity of all humankind.

So, how about the other Obama? Will you as passionately question
Obama's eager participation in liberation theology as a method for
governing as you do for other Christians?


Not sure. Has Obama been endorsed by right wing religious extremists with
a history of meddling directly in government? I've heard Iran is a
beautiful country, but I don't want this country to operate the ways
theirs does at the moment. I don't like theocracies.


Good grief. This should be a cakewalk.
