Does anybody really believe someone like Obama doesn't know his black liberation theology well-enough to make an informed decision about being in such a church until now?
And, for all the times the Big O says he wasn't in church when Wright said this or that, we can probably conclude he isn't such a great parishioner. Until it's time to write a check or return a political favor.
Oh well, here's some more measured comments from my Examiner column.
Why do people think that just because they think they disagree with either the Republican or Democrat parties, they can call themselves a liberatarian (or a Libertarian, there's a difference).
That artless jackanapes Bill Maher has been claiming the title for years, and now the ill-tempered former Democrat presidential candidate Mike Gravel says he is running for the LP presidential nomination, though he shows every sign of being a thoroughgoing socialist.
Myself, I'm a libertarian Republican, at least until I start the Tory Anarchist Party. And I know my Libertarian Party bretheren well enough to know that, though the LP is the red-headed stepchild of American politics, it will be Gravel who gets the beating at their convention.
I didn't care for the final episode of The Wire, but it doesn't change the fact that it was and will always be one of the very best and most socially relevant TV shows ever made. From my Examiner column.
