The Obama-Trinity Church Federal Grant Scandal

As it turns out, Mr. Clean Hands himself--the Obamessiah--is up to his eyeballs in scandal so sordid that everything we have heard about him up until now pales in comparison.

Obama has orchestrated the granting of 15 million dollars in federal earmarks to his congregation of 20 years, the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

And what, pray tell, is the federal government doing giving grants totaling 15 million dollars to a church? It has been assumed all these years that so thoroughly do liberals believe in 'separation of church and state' that even the mention of giving tax dollars to a church has been considered anathema.

These are the very people, by the way, who believe that churches should not have tax exempt status.

So, what gives here?

As usual, this is a case of liberal hypocrisy. Separation of church and state is a concept that applies only to conservative churches. Didn't everyone know that already? And if the church is not only a very liberal one, but a Black one to boot, then all the rules that are used to beat down conservatives go flying out the window.

For example, did Fred Phelps' independent Baptist congregation in Kansas City receive federal grants? Why not? No matter that Phelps is one of the most ruthless, hate-spewing, and downright crude homosexual-bashers in the nation. Obama's church is also home to some of the most venomous, hate-spewing, crude, and anti-American rhetoric on the planet. Yet they got 15 million bucks in taxpayers' money. If a church like Trinity could get the loot, then why not Phelps?

While still in the Illinois legislature and continuing as he moved to the U.S. Senate, Obama has for 15 years seen to it that the Trinity Church receives one million bucks in federal grants PER YEAR.

When George W. Bush proposed the faith-based initiatives early in his administration, liberals cried holy terror. They were not supposed to be using tax money to support 'religious causes.'

As it turns out, liberals had already found ways to do their own faith-based thing while flying under the radar screen. As long as the church in question was primarily a minority congregation, and as long as that congregation was engaged in programs that liberals deem to be 'acceptable,' then giving tax money to churches was just fine and dandy.

What hypocritical sleazebags!

Obama, of course, denies that he had anything to do with the grants. Right. It just so happens that the church Obama attended for 20 years made out like bandits with taxpayers' money, more so than any other federally-supported initiative with a connection to religion, but the high-profile politician who was one of its main members had nothing to do with it. Sure.

Some professors of religion in academia claim that the whole thing is the result of Bush's faith-based initiatives.

That would be....wrong. Bush has been in office a little over 7 years. The Obama-Trinity Church Federal Grant Scandal has been going on for 15 years, long before Bush took office.

Thus, once again, the man who claims he did not know that Reverend Jeremiah 'God Damn America' Wright was an extremist, the man who claims he did not know that the views of the Reverend Snuffy Pfleger were so outside the mainstream that it would lead to his Bishop giving him the axe, the man who could be a faithful member of a church for over 20 years and claim he was oblivious to much of what went on there, is now claiming he had nothing to do with the 15 million dollars' worth of federal earmarks for his congregation.

I will believe it when pigs fly.
