Ar2 SOCIETAL ISSUES

 aR2:  The foundation of “fundamentally changing the United States                            © Ron Burres
When President O’bama stood before his country and claimed his Presidency would fundamentally change our country we had little understanding of what he really meant.  We had no real idea of who this man was, what made up his agendas, and what he honestly believed those changes were to be.  Our national discovery system, the news media, was no longer objective and reported to our populace not facts but interpretations.  Without in depth scrutiny we had no hard facts regarding his core beliefs, and consequently, the man we saw was the man Mr. O’Bama needed for us to see.  Our country as a society bought into a lie, not one that was told with ill intent but one that told with complete honesty on the part of Mr. O’bama.
 This honesty is what helped sell the package of change.  This honesty existed because of a belief system that had been fed and nurtured during Mr. O’Bamas entire life.  The beliefs of his father, his professors, what he has read, his community action, and what he has been taught spiritually make up who he is in fact.  His ability to foist his belief system, upon an unaware populace, was enhanced by a progressive world system that believes; “you must say whatever is needed, in anyway your audience will accept, to move your cause forward.”  We see that being played out every time Mr. O’bama speaks on or in a public forum.  His speeches are tuned to getting the most populace support possible, feeding the fires of discontent with whatever words will supply the most fuel.  He may feel he honestly has a right, honestly feel justified, honestly feel the United States needs to change and honestly feel he has an obligation to twist truth and reality to meet the goals required by his belief system.  Unfortunately, almost 80% of the mass media, those we are supposed to be able to trust, support him.  They don’t necessarily support his beliefs as much as they need to associate themselves with any agenda that perceives them as smarter than the average, “ignorant” American citizen.
Black liberation theology is most likely the most predominant portion of our Presidents current religion.   Mr. O’bama has been part of Rev. Jeremiah Wrights flock for the last twenty some years.  Rev. Wright gained some slight scrutiny during the Presidents first campaign and those who looked at it critically were quickly labeled racist.  The approach to Christianity is somewhat different than the traditional.  Traditional Christianity views Christ as The Son of God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.  Traditional Christianity is founded on the belief that Christ’s death, Resurrection and Ascension were all for forgiveness of mans Original Sin and the forgiveness of sin for those who recognized Christ as their personal savior.  The premise of Black Liberation Theology is that Christ was basically a community organizer and a teacher whose main agenda was to see that the poor were fed and clothed.
