Obama’s Church got $15M in Federal Grant MoneyJun 3rd, 2008 - 17:25:40

Across America ...parents drop their kids at day care centers, which are supported by funding from the federal government.

But what makesone facility noteworthy in inner city Chicago is that it’s run by Trinity United Church of Christ. It’s the same church whose former head pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, drew widespread scrutiny after he cursed the U.S. government for its treatment of African-Americans.

FOX News has learned that over the last 15 years, Trinity has received at least $15 million in grants from the federal government — in other words, taxpayer money.[...]

DePaul University journalism professor Laura Washington, who specializes in race and politics, said Wright is a hypocrite for taking money from the government.

“On the one hand, he says, ‘God damn America’ and he says America is responsible for all the ills in the black community. On the other hand, he’s taking money from the same community he’s crucifying,” Washington said.

But another scholar who specializes in religion and politics says Wright never swore off government funding like ultra-nationalist Black Muslims have.

Andrew Walsh, associate director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life with Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., said Wright’s practices fall in line with his preaching.

Opens your eyes, man. Haven't you ever heard of 'wage slave'?
There is such a thing as economic slavery. There are no iron chains, only money ones. Anybody who earns less than $100,000 is a wage slave. That means most americans.

It is about the dirtiest thing an idiot like you can do to try to come up with someone else's personal information and post it. Pathetic, you are just mad because you get regularly smacked around here and you are too mentally handicapped to do anything about it.

You can't help being a moron, but you don't have to be such a miserable, petty, vindictive little moron.
