Destiny of personal collections
This community portal looks sort of sparse -- I guess I will start it. I am interested in discussing what to do with personal collections of documents and vestidos da moda photos in the long term. I have just about decided to donate mine to the Missouri Historical Society or the MO history museum, but I have havetons of scans. As I am writing, I am wondering about the Internet Archive. I am quite concerned that my material remain freely available. Susanchambless 18:18, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- This is an important question, Susan. I'm a little put-off by the anonymity of the Internet Archive, so I think I'll donate most of my stuff to the Pennsylvania Archives, since most of my forbears hailed from there. I'm planning to include the material I have that's from outside of PA, though, because as I discussed with them, it makes sense to keep the family collection together. I can't imagine there's a single "right" way to do this - but that makes sense to me. Martamima 16 December 2011

Since Pat Buchanan is so offensive to you that you advocate that nothing written by him be posted here, where do you place Rev. "Them Jews" Wright in your moral hierarchy?

I think the question presented by Rachel is a worthy one: At what point is someone beyond the social pale for all areas because of the views held in some areas?
Concerning the not so right Rev. Wright, no one here has found anything he has ever said worthy of consideration-- so what is the point of the question to Rachel?

The question: "At what point is someone beyond the social pale for all areas because of the views held in some areas?"
Discuss that, but my view is that CCP should decide what goes into CCP posts until HE crosses the line - and he hasn't! Same goes for the right of anyone here to criticize any quote or person quoted.
Alleged or implied of Buchanan was: "diminished the Holocaust and made somewhat supportive statements of Hitler and made antisemitic and anti Israel statements."
I think I was the only one to actually back that up with this link to the anti-defamation league: "search the anti-defamation league website for 'Buchanan' at website
". There are a bunch of over the top quotes there especially from his books. In and amongst the real objections are many quotes that are not so objectionable but just different than their own viewpoint, for example Buchanan opposes gay marriage which makes it harder to sort out the context where he made bonehead remarks like not knowing the CO levels of diesel engines.
Interestingly we just had Rush Limbaugh have his liberty taken due to quotes originating from a blog, picked up by the St. Louis Dispatch and CNN. Pretty good sources. Happened to be patently false. Same goes for context on the rest of what he says. The NY Times quotes him without noting that he points out absurdity by using absurdity; it is one of his techniques, so the quotes are real while the meaning and the context is lost. No one who listens regularly thinks he is racist or wants America to fail but every liberal who gets his words from elsewhere thinks exactly that. So he was denied a right within our economic system - to buy into a business of his choosing.
Crafty, recall also that Jude Wanniski was not exactly a friend of Israel. He was a defender of Saddam - one who paid people to kill Israelis, a denier of gassing the Kurds, but brilliant on economics. Off the board??
Back to the question, no one Muslim and certainly not Ahmadinejad could be posted if we ever took the wider and longer view. Nothing from Obama on this board it follows because he is on a quest to sit down with the guy, etc.
Of course I should have stopped there, but it was Rachel who wrote the most offensive view I've read here, and in return I'm sure vice versa. She basically said tough luck to the consequence of her abortion view which is current law, (like the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany) that nearly cost my daughter her life, defending the complete right of the mother to kill her unborn for any reason, in this case during a bipolar mood swing with the motive of spite, and that all men, the father in particular and the other relatives should have no say whatsoever in the process or in setting the law. Please correct me if wrong; I have no intention of overstating that point.
The silence of others here on abortion is deafening but the analogies to Hitlerisms never end - a primitive life form of lower value, not worth preserving. Where have I heard that before? 'Diminished the tragedy and made somewhat supportive statements of [those who choose to kill] and made anti-fetal statements' - 'not much different than a sperm and so what if it is alive with unique DNA', etc.
Yet I find her views on other subjects and other posts here extremely valuable and worthwhile. For example, I find this contribution yesterday brilliant, and not something I would run into elsewhere during my typical day: "According to the Midrash, the Third Commandment, "You shall not take G-d's name in vain," and the Eighth Commandment, "You shall not steal," are one and the same. Indeed, the Torah (in Leviticus 5:20) refers to financial fraud as "a betrayal of G-d." "Because," explains the great Talmudic sage Rabbi Akiva, "in defrauding his fellow, he is defrauding the Third Party to their dealings."
I wouldn't want my previous disagreement to prevent me from learning this kind of insight. - Doug
And since this is the fire hydrant, will someone tell me why we call God "G-d"? I think he knows we're talkin' about him.

Jeremiah Wright: Messenger of Intolerance
Jeremiah Wright, the pastor emeritus at Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) in Chicago, is once again at the center of a controversy after making inflammatory statements about Jews and Zionists.
Wright blamed Jews for the fact that he has been out of touch with President Barack Obama in an interview with the Daily Press, a Newport News, Virginia-based newspaper, on June 9. Wright noted that "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me."
In the same interview, Wright asserted that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in Gaza, which he described as "a sin and a crime against humanity," and expressed his belief that the Obama Administration would have sent a U.S. delegation to the 2009 Durban Review Conference in April if not for fear of losing "the Jewish vote, the A-I-P-A-C vote, that's controlling him."
Wright later stated that he misspoke and that he did not mean to refer to Jews, but rather Zionists. "I'm not talking about all Jews, all people of the Jewish faith, I'm talking about Zionists," Wright said.
Wright's initial comments and subsequent effort to distinguish between Jews and Zionists is reminiscent of his past inflammatory comments, which propelled him into the spotlight during Obama's primary run, and which he maintained had been taken out of context by the media and others.
Wright was thrust into the national spotlight in early 2008, at the height of then-Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign. As the media investigated Obama's longtime membership at TUCC and his relationship with Wright, at the time TUCC's pastor, several of Wright's sermons and writings became the focus of attention.
In his statements, Wright expressed support for Louis Farrakhan, the anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam; accused Israel of committing state terrorism; asserted that the U.S. brought the 2001 World Trade Center attacks upon itself; and charged that the U.S. government invented the HIV virus as a means of "genocide against people of color."
The media's focus on TUCC raised questions reaching beyond Wright's views on domestic and foreign policy issues. Themes of white supremacy and black repression in Wright's sermons and in the church's guiding principles, along with TUCC's motto "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian," compelled some critics to charge that the church promoted divisive, separatist views.
Though Wright refrained from responding to criticism and making public appearances throughout much of the election year, he did conduct a round of appearances in response to Obama's March 18, 2008 speech on race relations in the U.S. In Obama's speech, titled "A More Perfect Union," he distanced himself from Wright and some of his past statements.
During interviews, sermons, and televised speeches held over the course of one week in April 2008, Wright addressed issues surrounding religious and racial diversity, emphasized that his sermons has been distorted by the media for political purposes, and portrayed the controversy surrounding his past sermons as an attack against the Black church.
Wright also denied accusations that he is divisive when discussing race relations, stating, "I am not one of the most 'divisive' the word is 'descriptive." He claimed that real-world conditions, not his commentary, are responsible for the nation's ills.
Under scrutiny for the inflammatory comments about Israel and Zionism that had marked some of his past speeches, Wright was repeatedly questioned about his views on the subjects during these April 2008 talks.
At an appearance that same week at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, Wright refused to denounce Farrakhan's comments about Zionism being a gutter religion when asked about them during the question and answer session. Wright emphasized that Farrakhan made the comment about Zionism, not Judaism, and stated, "He was saying the same thing UN resolutions say, same thing Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu are being vilified for." (Former U.S. President Carter and Archbishop Desmond Tutu frequently compare Israel's treatment of Palestinians to South African Apartheid).
He further said he would not denounce Farrakhan, adding that "Farrakhan is not my enemy, he didn't put me in chains, he did not put me in slavery, and didn't make me this color."
When asked about his own views on Israel, Wright challenged the questioner's assertion that he has likened Israeli policy to apartheid ("Where did I liken them?... Jimmy Carter called it apartheid; Jeremiah Wright didn't liken anything to anything"). He stated, "My position on Israel is that Israel has a right to exist, that Israelis have a right to exist." However, he then cited The Link, an anti-Israel publication from Americans for Middle East Understanding, posing the question, "Have you read the Link?"
Wright also addressed Israel and the Israeli-Arab conflict during an appearance at Michigan State University a few months earlier. During his talk on February 7, 2008, Wright described the creation of the state of Israel as "a political decision made in 1948 to solve a European problem of European Jews by putting them in somebody else's country."
He said he identified with Carter, Tutu and Jim Wall of Christian Century, saying that like them he would be "labeled as anti-Semitic" for citing U.N. resolutions and international court findings pertaining to Israel and the Palestinians.
Wright served as the pastor at TUCC from 1972 until he retired in 2008.
In His Own Words
"Them Jews aren't gonna let [Obama] talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office."
"The Jewish vote, the A-I-P-A-C vote that's controlling him that would not let him send a representation to the Darfur [Durban] review conference that's talking this craziness because the Zionists, they will not let him talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. The ethnic cleansing of the Zionists is a sin and a crime against humanity. They don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel."
An interview with Newport News, VA-based
newspaper The Daily Press June 9, 2009
"Part of the fight going on now in terms of the religious arguments and tension and polarization and hatred among the fundamentalists especially in each of the major world religions has to do with the political [rather than religious], especially as it pertains to the political decision made in 1948 to solve a European problem of European Jews by putting them in somebody else's country."
From a lecture at Michigan State University,
February 7, 2008
"We supported Zionism shamelessly while ignoring the Palestinians and branding anybody who spoke out against them as being anti-Semitic."
From a sermon at Howard University in
Washington, D.C., January 15, 2006
"The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism. The Divestment issue will hit the floor during this month's General Synod. Divesting dollars from businesses and banks that do business with Israel is the new strategy being proposed to wake the world up concerning the racism of Zionism."
From Wright's Pastor's Page message
Trumpet Newsmagazine, July 2005
"Last year's conference in Africa on racism, which the United States would not participate in, because somebody dared to point the racism which still supports both here and in Israel. I said that dirty word again. Every time you say Israel, Negros get awfully quiet on you, 'cause they scared. Don't be scared. Don't be scared. You don't see the connection between 9-1-1-0-1 and the Israeli-Palestinian? Something wrong, you wanna borrow my glasses?"
From a sermon, September 1, 2002
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done oversees is now brought right back into our own front yards. Americans chickens are coming home to roost.'"
From a sermon, September 16, 2001
On Louis Farrakhan
"Louis said 20 years ago that Zionism, not Judaism, was a gutter religion. He was talking about the same thing United Nations resolutions say, the same thing now that President Carter's being vilified for and Bishop Tutu's being vilified for. Everyone wants to paint me as if I'm anti-Semitic because of what Louis Farrakhan said 20 years ago Louis and I don't agree on everything .He is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st centuries, that's what I think about him Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy, he didn't put me in chains, he did not put me in slavery, and didn't make me this color."
From an appearance at the National Press Club
in Washington DC, April 28, 2008
" Farrakhan is not my enemy, Farrakhan did not enslave Africans. He never raped a black woman, and Farrakhan didn't make me this color. Let's be clear."
"[Farrakhan] made some anti-Semitic remarks. Well, you all got water boarding you say is fine, you're killing folk in Guantanamo there's a secret part of that camp where you been torturing folk let's talk about that! We're not talking about that, what we keep up in the public is, oh you know Jeremiah Wright in 1984 I went to Tripoli and got to know Farrakhan."
From a lecture at Michigan State University,
February 7, 2008
"Everybody may not agree with him, but they listen His depth on analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation is astounding and eye opening. He brings a perspective that is helpful and honest."
"Minister Farrakhan will be remembered as one of the 20th and 21st century giants of the African American religious experience. His integrity and honesty have secured him a place in history as one of the nation's most powerful critics. His love for Africa and African American people has made him an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose."
From Trumpet Newsmagazine's cover story on
Farrakhan, who received the magazine's annual "Lifetime Achievement 'Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. Trumpeter' Award," November/December 2007
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

For me deciding someone is beyond the pale is somewhat like deciding if something is pornographic or not. I know it when I see it.
We can add Rev Wright to the list of those beyond the pale . Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh are not on the list though I personally am not interested in their views.
I wouldn't put CCP on the list for posting articles by Buchanan so I wouldn't need to put Obama on the list for belonging to Rev Wright's church.
I am somewhat hesitant to post this because I am the one posting most of the religious articles on the site but I personally have some issues with Christianity period so not liking Obama's pastor was not a big deal to me. Clearly some Pastors are a million times better than others and I should have paid more attention to that. I am not interested in discussing whose religion is better or in discussing my personal issues with Christianity. If your Christianity makes you a better person then I support it. Judaism is the right path for me but I don't think it is the right path for everyone.

I'm pretty sure that posting an article is somewhat different than attending religious services for 20 years. Louis Farrakhan was the only person to appear on the cover of Wright's church magazine as many times as Obama.
I guess all those issues got lost in the mail.
So Rachel, if your rabbi started doing/saying anything like Wright did, how many decades do you wait until you find another place to worship?

One service which I'm sure was your point. We pray for our Country our Leadership and our Troops in my synagogue. I have certainly been very uncomfortable by comments made by Rabbis of places that I would occasionally attend. I think it is not rational to think every member of Trinity is an anti-semite and anti-american or that Rev Wright only spewed hate for 20 years. Do you know other members of Trinity besides Obama because I do. I take the good with the bad in my religion. I care much more about peoples actions their beliefs.

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
By: Kathy Shaidle
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, April 07, 2008
Barack Obamas pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, became a household name last month when ABC News reported on some of Wrights inflammatory sermons. As his applauding congregation cheered him on, the former leader of Chicagos Trinity United Church of Christ condemned the U.S. government for killing innocent people and for treating American citizens, especially blacks, as less than human. God Damn America, Rev. Wright preached.
These sentiments were entirely consistent with comments Wright had made many times during his long pastoral career. From the pulpit, Rev. Wright also has taught that AIDS was concocted by the federal government as a genocidal plot against blacks. On another occasion, he declared, Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run! ... We [Americans] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.
Millions of Americans were shocked to hear such vituperative rage and unrestrained anti-American hatred. They need not have been surprised. Rev. Wrights passionate disdain for his country, and his belief that black Americans are still singled out for persecution, is entirely in keeping with the political philosophy that underpins his religious views: Black Liberation Theology.
In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obamas pastor in a heated interview about his Churchs teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to Black Liberation Theology, and to the name of one of its leading mouthpieces, James Cone, a professor at New York's Union Theological Seminary and an iconic figure venerated by Rev. Wright.
Until ABC News picked up the story months later, Black Liberation Theology remained a rather obscure discipline, confined to the syllabi of liberal seminaries. But after Wrights sermons were broadcast again and again on the news and the Internet, Black Liberation Theology once again commanded popular attention. After all, Barack Obama had joined Trinity twenty years earlier, had been married in the Church, and had his daughters baptized there. Obama and his wife had donated $22,500 to Trinity in 2006. The presidential hopeful even took the name of his memoir, The Audacity of Hope, from the title of one of Wrights sermons. The beliefs held by a presidential candidates longtime pastor and spiritual advisor are therefore of great national interest.
And what are those beliefs? Like the pro-communist liberation theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of salvation in the afterlife is superseded by liberation on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.
The leading theorist of Black Liberation Theology is James Cone. Overtly racist, Cones writings posit a black Jesus who leads African-Americans as the chosen people. In Cones cosmology, whites are the devil, and all white men are responsible for white oppression. Cone makes this point without ambiguity: This country was founded for whites and everything that has happened in it has emerged from the white perspective, Cone has written. What we need is the destruction of whiteness, which is the source of human misery in the world.
If whiteness stands for all that is evil, blackness symbolizes all that is good. Black theology, says Cone, refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love. Small wonder that some critics have condemned black liberation theology as racist idolatry and Afro-Nazism.
Furthermore, according to Cone, black values are superior to American values. Sure enough, the About Us statement on Trinitys web page includes the following Cone-inspired declaration: We are an African people, and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.
It is troubling that Barack Obamas closest friends and allies subscribe to an explicitly racist doctrine. Even more worrying is that the main exponent of Black Liberation Theology sees Obama as a kindred spirit. In the wake of the controversy surrounding Obamas pastor and Church, Cone said: Ive read both of Barack Obamas books, and I heard the speech [on race]. I dont see anything in the books or in the speech that contradicts black liberation theology.
Its tempting to see figures like Cone and Wright as fringe actors with no constituency in the wider black community. Yet Cone considers himself to be the natural successor to Martin Luther King, Jr., and not everyone finds the comparison jarring.
Similarly with Rev. Wright. At a summit of black pastors held shortly after the recent controversy broke, many defended Wrights sermons as part of the prophetic preaching tradition embodied by the assassinated civil rights leader.
Said Rev. Frederick Haynes III, senior pastor at Friendship West Baptist Church: If Martin Luther King, Jr. were pastoring a church today, it would look very much like Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois, and the sermons you would hear him preach would sound very much like Wrights.
Stacey Floyd-Thomas, who teaches ethics and serves as Director of black church studies at Brite Divinity School in Texas, explained that King, foreshadowing Wright, had once called America the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. Moreover, said Floyd-Thomas, King was assassinated before he could deliver his scheduled Sunday sermon entitled Why America May Go to Hell.
Black Liberation Theology, in short, cannot be dismissed as a minority view. Americans are thus left with the troubling knowledge that millions of their fellow citizens consider them to be devils, having been taught to think this way by their religious leaders. They must wonder, too, why they should entrust the presidency to a man who has surrounded himself with those who actively despise the very country he seeks to lead.

Do you think that you ever given me information about Rev Wright, Samantha Powers,Bill Ayers or any of Obama's friends and associates etc that I didn't already have? If you are just making points that is fine but please stop us me as your object lesson I'm not interested. If you feel like my problem is lack of information its not. I just look at the exact information and come to different conclusions.
I have absolutely no interest in discussing any form of Christian theology at all.

The peculiar theology of black liberation
By Spengler
Senator Barack Obama is not a Muslim, contrary to invidious rumors. But he belongs to a Christian church whose doctrine casts Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people". At best, this is a radically different kind of Christianity than most Americans acknowledge; at worst it is an ethnocentric heresy.
What played out last week on America's television screens was a clash of two irreconcilable cultures, the posture of "black liberation theology" and the mainstream American understanding of Christianity. Obama, who presented himself as a unifying figure, now seems rather the living embodiment of the clash.
One of the strangest dialogues in American political history ensued on March 15 when Fox News interviewed Obama's pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, of Chicago's Trinity Church. Wright asserted the authority of the "black liberation" theologians James Cone and Dwight Hopkins:
Wright: How many of Cone's books have you read? How many of Cone's book have you read?
Sean Hannity: Reverend, Reverend?
Wright: How many books of Cone's have you head?
Hannity: I'm going to ask you this question ...
Wright: How many books of Dwight Hopkins have you read?
Hannity: You're very angry and defensive. I'm just trying to ask a question here.
Wright: You haven't answered - you haven't answered my question.
Hopkins is a full professor at the University of Chicago's Divinity School; Cone is now distinguished professor at New York's Union Theological Seminary. They promote a "black power" reading of Christianity, to which liberal academic establishment condescends.
Obama referred to this when he asserted in a March 14 statement, "I knew Reverend Wright as someone who served this nation with honor as a United States Marine, as a respected biblical scholar, and as someone who taught or lectured at seminaries across the country, from Union Theological Seminary to the University of Chicago." But the fact the liberal academy condescends to sponsor black liberation theology does not make it less peculiar to mainstream American Christians. Obama wants to talk about what Wright is, rather than what he says. But that way lies apolitical quicksand.
Since Christianity taught the concept of divine election to the Gentiles, every recalcitrant tribe in Christendom has rebelled against Christian universalism, insisting that it is the "Chosen People" of God - French, English, Russian, Germans and even (through the peculiar doctrine of Mormonism) certain Americans. America remains the only really Christian country in the industrial world, precisely because it transcends ethnicity. One finds ethnocentricity only in odd corners of its religious life; one of these is African-American.
During the black-power heyday of the late 1960s, after the murder of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, the mentors of Wright decided that blacks were the Chosen People. James Cone, the most prominent theologian in the "black liberation" school, teaches that Jesus Christ himself is black. As he explains:
Christ is black therefore not because of some cultural or psychological need of black people, but because and only because Christ really enters into our world where the poor were despised and the black are, disclosing that he is with them enduring humiliation and pain and transforming oppressed slaves into liberating servants.
Theologically, Cone's argument is as silly as the "Aryan Christianity" popular in Nazi Germany, which claimed that Jesus was not a Jew at all but an Aryan Galilean, and that the Aryan race was the "chosen people". Cone, Hopkins and Wright do not propose, of course, to put non-blacks in concentration camps or to conquer the world, but racially-based theology nonetheless is a greased chute to the nether regions.
Biblical theology teaches that even the most terrible events to befall Israel, such as the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE, embody the workings of divine justice, even if humankind cannot see God's purpose. James Cone sees the matter very differently. Either God must do what we want him to do, or we must reject him, Cone maintains:
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love. [1]
In the black liberation theology taught by Wright, Cone and Hopkins, Jesus Christ is not for all men, but only for the oppressed:
In the New Testament, Jesus is not for all, but for the oppressed, the poor and unwanted of society, and against oppressors ... Either God is for black people in their fight for liberation and against the white oppressors, or he is not [Cone].
In this respect black liberation theology is identical in content to all the ethnocentric heresies that preceded it. Christianity has no use for the nations, a "drop of the bucket" and "dust on the scales", in the words of Isaiah. It requires that individuals turn their back on their ethnicity to be reborn into Israel in the spirit. That is much easier for Americans than for the citizens of other nations, for Americans have no ethnicity. But the tribes of the world do not want to abandon their Gentile nature and as individuals join the New Israel. Instead they demand eternal life in their own Gentile flesh, that is, to be the "Chosen People".
That is the "biblical scholarship" to which Obama referred in his March 14 defense of Wright and his academic prominence. In his response to Hannity, Wright genuinely seemed to believe that the authority of Cone and Hopkins, who now hold important posts at liberal theological seminaries, was sufficient to make the issue go away. His faith in the white establishment is touching; he honestly cannot understand why the white reporters at Fox News are bothering him when the University of Chicago and the Union Theological Seminary have put their stamp of approval on black liberation theology.
Many things that the liberal academy has adopted, though, will horrify most Americans, and not only "black liberation theology" (Queer Studies comes to mind, among other things). It cannot be in Obama's best interests to appeal to the authority of Cone, whose unapologetic racism must be repugnant to the great majority of Americans, including the majority of black Americans, who for the most part belong to Christian churches that preach mainstream Christian doctrine. Christianity teaches unconditional love for a God whose love for humankind is absolute; it does not teach the repudiation of a God who does not destroy our enemies on the spot.
Whether Obama takes seriously the doctrines that Wright preaches is another matter. It is possible that Obama does not believe a word of what Wright, Cone and Hopkins teach. Perhaps he merely used the Trinity United Church of Christ as a political stepping-stone. African-American political life is centered around churches, and his election to the Illinois State Senate with the support of Chicago's black political machine required church membership. Trinity United happens to be Chicago's largest and most politically active black church.
Obama views Wright rather at arm's length: as the New York Times reported on April 30, 2007:
Reverend Wright is a child of the 60s, and he often expresses himself in that language of concern with institutional racism and the struggles the African-American community has gone through," Mr Obama said. "He analyzes public events in the context of race. I tend to look at them through the context of social justice and inequality.
Obama holds his own views close. But it seems unlikely that he would identify with the ideological fits of the black-power movement of the 1960s. Obama does not come to the matter with the perspective of an American black, but of the child of a left-wing anthropologist raised in the Third World, as I wrote elsewhere (Obama's women reveal his secret , Asia Times Online, February 26, 2008). It is possible that because of the Wright affair Obama will suffer for what he pretended to be, rather than for what he really is.

I'm missing the point here about the Not so Right Rev. Wright. Why are we discussing him at all GM? Has anyone been quoting him?
Perhaps I am missing the point here, but I sense us drifting off point from the question presented-- the use of lucid views by persons who hold views on other subjects that we consider beyond the pale.
FWIW in my own life I have had to wrestle with this three times. In no particular order:
a) Jude Wanniski: Author of the utterly brilliant "The Way the World Works", considered by the WSJ to be "one of the one hundred most important books of the 20th Century", in his later years Jude became quite an anti-semitic crank (e.g. hung out with Farrkhan) and apologist for Saddam Hussein;
b) Carl Jung: Only after years of random study in admiration of Jung did I discover that, at the least, apparently he had dalliance with the Nazis to the point of attacking Freud for his "Jewish science" or something like that;
c) Konrad Lorenz: An Austrian scientist whose influence on me is so great that I named my son Conrad after him, apparently had his Nobel Prize removed because of some things he said in the 1930s-40s. I'm not really clear on what they were or what happened.
In all three cases I have decided to bifurcate the good and the bad. Where the anti-semitism question arises, I address it openly and when it doesn't, I don't-- though I have prefaced quoting Wanniski by prefacing it by saying something like "Though in his later years JW became quite a crank, including anti-semitism, here I find his thinking quite sound. etc."
In the case of Pat Buchanan, in my opinion he is a anti-Jewish bigot. He also holds lucid opinions with which I don't agree, and he holds some lucid opinions which I am willing to entertain. As a Jew, like Rachel, I do tend to wince a bit to see his name pop up, but I am not ready to call for banishing any and all use of his writings.
Perhaps the solution with quoting such person is to note from time to time, the dubious nature of some of this person's views and that quoting them here should not be taken as thinking all his views respectable?

BLT isn't anywhere near mainstream christian theology. Judging christianity by BLT is like judging judism by Kahane Chai.
If you really understood Black Liberation Theology, how could you knowling vote for one of it's adherents?

I reiterate one of my points earlier.
I do not love buchanan that much that I must post his writings.
I value Rachel's interesting posts and points of view more than I value buchanan.
So with that said I won't Buchanan anymore.

Thank you for your kinds words. I greatly appreciate you not posting any Buchanan's articles .
I don't agree with Marc's reasonable argument about taking the good and noting the bad because Buchanan is still alive and he could be supporting (including monetarily) his more problematic ideas.
I have no problems problem bifurcating for someone who is not around to cause harm. I think it would be a grave error not to read the founding fathers because they owned slaves even though that is a much worse act than anything Buchanan has ever done.
I am not wishing Buchanan dead. I would be perfectly happy if he dropped his morally repugnant ideas or barring that wanted to go live in a yurt somewhere with no communication to the modern world.
BBG, I was looking for bottom up action not top down censorship. This forum has certainly made its feelings known when there were un-agreed with left wing wing views. I was looking for more of those kind of feelings relating to Buchanan.

Though I'm one of the folks who has been dissing Buchanan all along, as a rabid Libertarian just about any sort of prior restraint, be it administrative censorship or self-censorship, brings on a queasy sensation. I think one should be able to defend a piece or author one agrees with, or, if posting an interesting piece from an unknown source say as much as I often do, or post horrible pieces by horrible people and point out that you are using that as an example to argue the antithesis. And if someone blithely posts something by a noxious person they ought not be surprised if they get slapped around a bit for it.
As you may have noted, I often post pieces that dispute AGW in the most ardent of terms, a habit that causes many to label me a "denier;" those same folks would have you ignore everything that comes out of my mouth and perhaps haul me before some sort of AGW tribunal for having to temerity to speak directly to the many holes in their article of faith. Though I certainly don't think PB's instance is precisely congruent, my experience of being on the shouted down side of the question leaves me erring on the side of sharing, and being expected to intelligently defend, views.

This has been my default search. I was doing a search "CNN and Bobby Seales". I was trying to find out who was the CNN anouncer who told Seales it was a "privilege" to have him on the show. I posted this last week. I noticed O'Reilly literally that evening then had a 30 second shot of her saying this on the show I saw and commented rather sarcastically "a privilege, really?'
When I did the serach it says "latest posts by ccp" and there is my post on the issue from the board. I tried to do latest posts for others from the board and some of them also come up. I get to bing from the msn site:

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
JOHANNESBURG. 24 February 2010
South African Airways (SAA) today announced the appointment of Ms Siza Mzimela as its new CEO.
Ms Mzimela will take up the position as new CEO of the airline from March and is the airline's very first female in this position.
Ms Mzimela, is presently the CEO of SAA's domestic partner airline, SA Express (SAX).
As the new CEO of SAA she brings extensive airline experience to the company and previously filled senior positions in key areas at South African Airways.
"We warmly welcome Ms Mzimela as the new CEO of SAA following an extensive and thorough process to find a suitable candidate for this position. In fact, we welcome her back to the SAA family.
"With her extensive experience in the airline industry, and especially her knowledge of the inner workings of SAA, she is the ideal candidate to fulfill the mandate of SAA to be an African airline with global reach," says Cheryl Carolus, SAA chairperson.
Carolus also thanked the present Acting CEO, Mr Chris Smyth, for the outstanding work he has done over the past year.
Mzimela has a sterling track record as the CEO of SAX, which she joined in 2003 and she is highly regarded in the aviation industry. Under her leadership, the regional airline has grown in leaps and bounds, introducing a number of new routes and recently starting a new airline, Congo Express in the DRC. In 2009, SAX declared a net profit of approximately R235,4m under very difficult economic circumstances. Notwithstanding these difficulties facing the airline industry and business as a whole, SAX continues its profitability and remains financially sound. The airline also recently re-launched its new brand proposition "We Fly For You" which is set to position SA Express as a premier intra-regional African brand.
After she graduated with a degree in economics and statistics, Mzimela's first job was in the small business and retail division of Standard Bank in 1991.
Three years later she joined Total SA as a corporate planning analyst responsible for managing capital projects, before joining SA Airways (SAA) in 1996 as a research analyst.
After various promotions at SAA, Mzimela was appointed executive vice-president of global passenger services in 2001/2, later taking on responsibility for the airline's core business global sales and the airline's loyalty programme, Voyager in 2002/3.
She was involved in setting overall strategic direction for the sales and Voyager team and in actively managing and reducing costs. She was also responsible for the strategic positioning of SAA and for optimising alliance partnerships. She is also a board member of SA Tourism and was the Chairperson of the Airlines Association of South Africa for two years. In 2002, she was a finalist in the Nedbank Businesswoman of the Year Award.
Mzimela is a leader with substantial hands-on experience and whose positive attitude, strong negotiation skills and business acumen have helped her scale many heights. Her personal philosophy and values have led her to succeed, inspire and lead others.

Aug. 18, 2006: Getting a home inspection is important, but don't let it scare you off
When you buy a home inspection, are you looking for reasons to buy the house or reasons to walk away?
Some inspectors seem to think it's their job to scare buyers to death. They'll call out things that are almost never found in resale homes -- for example the absence of arc fault circuit interrupters -- then describe the possible consequences in the direst of terms.
Please understand, I think you should have a home inspection. Even if you're purchasing the home "as is," with no seller-supplied repairs, you still should get an inspection. Done properly, this can be the cheapest $400 you'll ever spend. It will either tell you to fully embrace the house you already love so much. Or it will tell you to run away in horror.
What matters is the house, not the inspector. Repairs in a newer home should run to $1,000 or less. For an older home, the costs might run to as much as 1 percent of the purchase price. If the work needed starts to climb toward 2 or 3 percent of the purchase price, that could be cause for concern.
If the seller is doing the repairs, will they be done in a "workmanlike manner," using licensees where required, with everything documented with receipts? If you're doing the work yourself to save on the purchase price, will you have the financial resources to finish the job?
Here is what you need to know from the inspector: What is serious and what is trivial? Was the home built -- and remodeled -- to code? Which repair issues are health and safety issues, and which are optional or cosmetic? What are the repairs likely to cost?
Ideally, your home inspector should have a strong background in the building trades. This will inform his determination of what is and is not significant. You want your inspector to be honest to a fault, without the fault of being an alarmist.
What you want is the truth, expressed calmly, rationally, realistically. A phlegmatic analysis of the costs will tell you if you should buy the home or walk away.

Am I link-baiting? You bet. The quid pro quo is free content for your site that pulls eyeballs and excites interest. Phoenix Realtor Greg Swann suggested I share this with you:
Why do we deliver so much more value for our clients? For one thing, it's a great strategy for marketing our real estate brokerage. But even before that, we love selling real estate, and we want to do the best job we can for our clients.
About BloodhoundRealty.com: Who we are and how we work
BloodhoundRealty.com is a boutique real estate brokerage working in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the Phoenix suburbs. We would love to help you buy a home in Metropolitan Phoenix or to sell the Paradise Valley home you already own. If you're relocating to Scottsdale, we'll show you some hi-tech tactics we've discovered to save you time and money. And if your goal is to invest in Phoenix-area rental homes, we've helped dozens of investors realize their financial goals.
We work a lot harder than the agents we compete against. As an example, take a look at everything we do to list historic, architecturally-distinctive and mid-century modern luxury homes for sale. No one does the kinds of things we do, and we're just as detail-oriented -- and exuberant! -- when we work with buyers. Day by day, task by task, home by home, we want to get as close as we can to perfect performance as Realtors -- a virtual virtuosity in real estate representation.
We write, too -- could you have guessed? BloodhoundRealty.com is our main Phoenix real estate weblog, but we also publish Distinctive Phoenix, which is devoted to historic and architecturally-distinctive homes in Central and North Central Phoenix, and Distinctive Paradise Valley Homes, which is focused on the incomparable luxury real estate to be found in Paradise Valley. Our most famous weblog, though, is BloodhoundBlog, our nationally-focused real estate industry, marketing and technology blog -- which puts us in the vanguard of hi-tech real estate brokerage.
But that's all just credentials. We're thoroughgoing Realtors, contemplative Realtors, innovative Realtors, very hard-working Realtors. We're definitely hi-tech Realtors, and the internet, surely, is the second best tool a Realtor can deploy -- and we use the internet better than any of our competitors. But the best tool -- always -- is integrity, and without integrity there is nothing.
We believe in clear, detailed, complete communication. Where other Realtors might hope to dazzle you with pretty pictures, we bend over backward to tell you the whole, unvarnished truth about real estate transactions -- how they succeed and why they sometimes fail. It can be a comfort, at times, to 'leave it to the experts.' But real estate decisions can have very costly, life-long consequences. If you want to know every detail about your transaction, we want to share them with you.
Our passion is to do the best we can do, to find the best house at the best price, to find the best-qualified buyer for your home, to negotiate the best terms, to help our clients reach the best decisions, making the best possible investment. We're not about doing deals, we're about forging relationships. We want for you, as our client, to be so delighted by our efforts that you could not conceive of working with another Realtor.
Above all, we are about family -- yours and ours. And while we might be a small business, there is nothing small -- or small-time or small-minded -- in the way we do business. We want to be your Realtor for life. We will do everything we can to make that happen.

A storied homestead in F.Q. Story... 1102 West Culver St., Phoenix, AZ 85007
What matters most in an Historic Home? Surely it's not just the age of the home – no matter how uncomfortable it might be to live in. Is it a matter of painstakingly accurate restoration? Or is the most important factor the tales the home can tell, the stories you can pass along to your guests about your home's place in History-With-A-Capital-H?

Paint the vision of your futureon this classic canvas from the past... 922 West Culver St., Phoenix, AZ 85007
Carefully-maintained over the years, this stately ranch home in the F.Q. Story Historic District offers you the space – and the spare bathrooms – you don't often find in Historic homes. Built in 1936, the 1,766 square feet of livable space comprise 2, 3, or 4 bedrooms, depending on how you divide the space – and this doesn't even include the huge enclosed Sun Room. The back yard is expansive, and there is a spacious Tool Shed in back. This home is eminently livable as it is, but the real challenge may be for you to take it to the next level. This is your chance to get into a Story home with 'great bones.' You'll be free to make cosmetic upgrades without having to worry about the underlying structure. This is a home that will resound with memories – from its past and from the future you will build here...

We love these homes, and that's reason enough. But there's this, also: We list harder, better, more effectively than any of the Realtors we compete against.

Our objective is to attract more buyers, more-qualified buyers, better-motivated buyers. The result is that our homes sell in less time for more money.

Moon phase and times of moonrise and moonset
We can calculate the moonrise, moonset, the moon phase, visible surface of the moon and its distance from the earth for almost any place on Earth and for any date of the year. Select date and a place and see the results.
Anyama, 25 February 2018
Visible moon surface :
Age :
10 days
Distance to Earth :
363492 km
Moon phase :
Waxing Moon
- Moonrise can take place after the moonset.
- Moonrise or moonset does not occur in the particular date and / or location. Both situations are pretty normal.
- The azimuth (0°-360°) is a horizontal angular measurement. The azimuth is the angle between the north vector and the projection of the star or moon down onto the horizon, e.g. if the moon is exactly on the east, then its azimuth is exactly 90°.

0 photos found in gallery: "Cartoons"
The Linen Hall Library Gallery contains a selection of 18th century cartoons and caricatures which satirize the follies and vices of the age. Included are works by the renowned British artists William Hogarth and James Gillray (sometimes spelt James Gilray). These cartoons and etchings depict an age of excesses, vice and greed and would soon become an integral and effective part of journalism. Included are some of Hogarth's famous series of moral works; the Harlot's Progress, the Rake's Progress, Marriage a-la Mode and Industry and Idleness. Gillray images include many of his famous political and social satires directed against George III, as well as a selection of caricatures he issued during the French Revolution, ridiculing Napoleon and the French and glorifying John Bull. This collection also contains a series of beautifully hand coloured humorous images entitled Elements of Skating.

Boosting bioterrorism prevention capability focus of INTERPOL training
ALMATY, Kazakhstan – Enhancing the bioterrorism prevention and response capabilities in the Central Asia and Caucasus region was the focus of INTERPOL's Regional Biosecurity Course.
Nearly 40 law enforcement, customs, public health and laboratory officials from nine countries took part in the five day (10 – 14 October) course hosted by Kazakhstan, the latest in a series organized by the INTERPOL Bioterrorism Prevention Programme's network of experts, with contributions from various agencies around the world including law enforcement, policy makers, academics, health-protection agencies and the WHO.
A key aspect of the training was a series of practical exercises enabling participants to immediately apply the theory of difficult scientific and strategic concepts learned during the course: specific aspects of biological agents, detection and most importantly how to prevent and to respond to a biological attack or incident from a joint law enforcement and public health perspective.
INTERPOL's Regional Biosecurity Course, supported by Canada and the International Science and Technology Center, builds on the success of the initial Train-the-Trainer model, but with more attention drawn to the concepts of biosecurity and biosafety: reducing exposure to potentially hazardous biologically agents, as well as protecting legitimate research facilities against the theft of microbial agents, which could potentially be turned into biological weapons.
During the opening ceremony, the United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs, Andy Weber, spoke about the importance of building 'ongoing global partnerships to elevate the priority of biological threat prevention within the international community' and underlined the special role that INTERPOL can fulfill in this area.

PLANO, Texas -
Sure it can feed 5,000, but a Fritos Chili Pie that was cooked up in Texas this week did more than just kick up some snack cravings. It also managed to set a Guinness World Record weighing in at 1,325 pounds.
According to a news release, the mega-sized pie effort was in celebration of Fritos corn chips' 80th anniversary, which was marked during the opening weekend of the State Fair of Texas in Plano.
The record-setting snack sensation was made up of 635 bags of Fritos chips, 660 cans of Hormel Chili and 580 bags of shredded cheddar cheese.
When the Guinness title was set, an official adjudicator verified the accomplishment and announced the record.
The tasty mixture was then distributed to fairgoers who were eager to see if the Texas-sized treat lived up to Lone Star standards.
The company states on its website that Fritos were born in 1932 when Elmer Doolin purchased a corn chips recipe from a Texas businessman and began making the first Fritos chips right from his mother's kitchen with a converted potato ricer.
Doolin's mother, Daisy Dean Doolin, is credited with creating recipes to help her son market Fritos corn chips by using them as an ingredient in a wide range of dishes -- including her now-famous Fritos Chili Pie.

Sweet Chilli Sauce
After I decided to serve some sweet chili sauce with my Thai style corn fritters I checked my fridge and found that I was running low on it. I was just about to add it to my grocery list when I though, I wonder if I could make this at home? A quick search of the web turned up this recipe for a sweet chilli sauce that I found on She Simmers . I certainly am glad that I took the time to look up the recipe and make it myself! Not only was it super easy to make but it was much better than any store bought variety that I have ever tried. The recipe is pretty simple with what you would expect to find in it including some chilies, garlic, sugar, vinegar and a bit of corn starch to thicken it up. I could not find either the red jalapeños or the red serrano chilies so I went with some long pointed hot red chilies that I could find and a few birds eye chilies to ensure that the heat level was up there. I also left the seed in for the extra heat and visual appearance. You should tailor the variety of chili and number based on your tolerance for heat, or your addiction to it. :)
Sweet Chilli Sauce
- 2 cayenne chilies
- 2 birds eye chilies
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup rice wine or white vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Puree the chilies and garlic in a food processor.
- Bring the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, chilies and garlic to a boil and simmer for the chilies and garlic begin to get tender, about 3 minutes.
- Mix the cornstarch into the water, mix it into the sauce and heat until the sauce thickens, about a minute.
- Let cool and enjoy.

As a general rule, questions about salary and benefits are best left until a job offer has been made. If you receive an offer on the spot but are not ready to accept, simply thank the company representative for their decision, and request a few days to think over their offer. Since they have indicated that they value you as a job candidate, you may be able to negotiate a better salary simply by waiting. Ask for written confirmation of the job offer, and tell the firm when you will make a decision.
Gather as much factual information as you can from other employees, before deciding on what salary request you want to make. Always begin by expressing genuine interest in the position and the organization, and offering to compromise on other areas, such as longer hours and travel. Be prepared to defend your reasons for wanting to improve their offer with meaningful, work-related benefits to the employer. Requesting a salary increase just because you are a fast learner, or have a high GPA, aren't justifiable reasons alone. You need to have past work experience or internships that have demonstrated professional skills. Beyond major requirements within the workforce development department, you may consider Victoria College drop dates as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
