Ok let's start with the notion that the war in Iraq is illegal because noone attacked us. Think of every war we have ever been in and tell me who attacked us in them? Right noone except WWII and the Japanese attacked us and we went after the Germans. Which party took us into everyone of those wars that we were not attacked? Right again Democrats. Now you say Bush is reponsible for the death of over 3000 U.S. troops. Did you know that in the different battles Clinton took us into took the lives of 4,302 soldiers i his first term alone? You say Bush lied about WMD's and other reasons for going to war yet Hillary Clinton and John Kerry as well as other Democrats in both houses of congress claim at the time they looked carefully at the evidence and did their own investigations and came to the same results, not to mention the U.N. you love so much and Most other countries claimed the same thing. Democrats claim Bush is the stupidest man n Earth so how does he fool so many SMART Democrats?

Black Liberation Theology is not the only Liberation Theology movement among minorities. Blk Liberation assumes Blk people speaking for themselves as in the case of Feminist Liberation Theology, Asian Liberation Theology and (the most popular) Latin Liberation Theology.
Most accuse Liberation Theology of having Marxist overtones or suggestions but I have not found that to be true. Most Liberation Theology movements are really "voices from the margins of society" who speak directly to a people who experience systematic, racial, gender discrimination or biases. (Some Evangelical Scholars make the case that Liberation Theologies are reactionary movements, I still disagree with that).
(HERE IS THE MAJOR POINT)
Most of what we consider Standards Biblical Interpretation is based on Euro-centric Evangelical models. (I will blog often on this site please ask if you want specifics).
WHY IS THIS: Most published conversations (books and commentaries) about theology are based in Europe (Germany, England, Spain and Italy).
I have been to seminary so I know this for a fact: MOST OF THE STUDY OF CHRISTIAN HISTORY IS BASED IN EUROPE. However, Europe was not the only continent to make global contributions to Christianity.
(A BASIC POINT ABOUT THEOLOGY)
Theology is not simply based on DIRECT DIVINE INTERPRETATION. Everyone who interprets a text, just as in literature, brings their history, experience, and world views to the table. This is called a HERMANUTIC OF SUSPICION. (Lord I wish I had a spellcheck. lol)
Since most conversations about theology are from European males and based on Euro male interpration of scripture and CHRISTIANITY, NATURALLY people who have different world views, experiences and come from different traditions are going to feel isolated.
(EDIT FIVE PARAGRAPHS) : Discussing Blk Libaration and Obama’s Pastor as Seperatist for espousing a Blk Value System
Conclusion
Is separatist a "pretty new" title for denominations or church communities that I am not comfortable or familiar with?
Say what you will about Dr. Jeremiah Wright, but he is right on one thing. "If you are going to talk about Theology, you must talk about it in context."
I have read Sean Hannity's bio. He attended a catholic high school that called itself a seminary.(It is no longer in existence. It closed in the 1980's). He also did not even finish a 2 yr college. Sean has NO experience or understanding of theology and it was obvious. I do not understand how FOX let's it's analyist/journalist get away with that.
Dr. Jeremiah Wright probably came across as rude because Sean came across as if he were not really interested in interviewing Dr. Wright. It seemed to me that he wanted to expose an agenda.
FOX really should demand better. Why couldn't they have atleast found a conservative journalist who understands "a little" about Blk Liberation Theology and it's prominant authors (Dr. James Cone, Dr. Dwight Hopkins, Dr. Cain Hope Felder).
PURE AND SIMPLE
Sean Hannity provoked a DOG fight with a Pit-bull. His little smart Alex comments, "Pray for me Reverend" and calling his church a cult before the Pastor even got a chance to explain what the website was about. Then when the Reverend tried to explain, he cut him off on several occasions. Sean was GRANDSTANDING. I guess that is what brings in great ratings!!
I think a "properly" seasoned journalist WHO HAS AN ACADEMIC BACKGROUND IN JOURNALISM as well as experience would have handled that differently and the outcome would have been different.

Cheney says House doesn't support troops By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer
31 minutes ago
MANALAPAN, Fla. - Vice President
Dick Cheney on Saturday accused the Democrat-led House of not supporting troops in
Iraq and of sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face danger.
"They're not supporting the troops. They're undermining them," Cheney told a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition at the oceanside Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan, Fla., about 60 miles north of Miami.
On Friday, the House voted to clamp a cutoff deadline on the Iraq war, agreeing by a thin margin to pull combat troops out by next year.
The $124 billion House legislation would pay for wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan this year but would require that combat troops come home from Iraq before September 2008 — or earlier if the Iraqi government does not meet certain requirements.
Cheney called it a myth that "one can support the troops without giving them the tools and reinforcements they need to carry out their mission."
President Bush has threatened to veto the legislation. Cheney said Bush will not withdraw troops before there is stability in Iraq.
"The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of this war," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said after the passage. A message seeking comment was left with Pelosi's office Saturday

Source: CNN News. Being interviewed by a reporter in Iraq. Reporter ask "Are you afraid of the insurgents"? Marine states "NO". Then in the background an insurgent runs across the screen and the reporters says "LOOK". The Marine looked and then his uniformed Marines pants got dirty. How could that be? There was no rain or mud on the ground. What's going on?

It blows my mind how people cannot see that the Iraq war is making us weaker. Are military is stuck in Iraq in an unsupported war. Osama Bin Laden is running free focusing on his next attack on America, while are military is fighting Iraqis who didn't attack us and think we are occupying their country. The American people, Congress, President Bush ,everyone, is focused on the IRAQ war and not the war on what matters terrorism. I guess you republican posters will just call me a Liberal that hates America, but I want to see on the new the man who attack our country Osama Bin Laden hanged.

Let's just keep our noses out of the Middle East and leave them to their own devices to figure out their own relationships.
If we're not involved, there's nothing for them to hate us for, and we can concentrate more on our own country.
It's a win-win situation.

We had a soldier come into my school awhile ago to show us videos he had made in Iraq. He said that Iraq was pretty much a 3rd world country& that they didn't even have toilet paper, which is why you never shook hands with them (which I though was pretty rude to say..), but at the same time we saw cars& trash (coke cans, food wrappers, etc) in the streets on the video. How is it they don't have toilet paper, but still have cars&soda?
Also,
He said most of the bad stuff about American soldiers in the news was lies to get ratings. Do you believe this is true?

Doctors via the AMA adamantly oppose socialist medicine.
The American people have made it abundantly clear: socialist medicine is NOT something we are prepared to tolerate in this country. Sure healthcare isn't perfect, but the remedy shouldn't be something entirely worse.
They whine about "40 million uninsured" but this is a myth. By law, hospitals cannot refuse emergency care to the indigent.

It is funny but I have noticed that in the name of political correctness a lot of issues are being silenced. Granted some of them are unpleasant and even insulting but they are still protected by free speech. I'm insulted when people burn American flags, but that is suppossedly protected speech by implication. Yet when someone speaks in favor of good morals, then suddenly people are calling them names, threatening to fire them and calling it hate speech. If you ask me the "politically correct" are the ones really using hate speech with their name calling and labelling.

LET ME HELP YOU: DECONSTRUCT LIBERATION MOVEMENTS
(Most liberation Theologies scriptural interpretations are informed by a particular groups experiences of oppression, cultural perspectives, collective history)
IN STUDYING LIB. THEOLOGY HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT KEY ASPECTS TO FOCUS ON:
1. Literary Interpretation of CHRIST
as a Divine HERO THAT OVERCOMES OVERWHELMING OPPRESSION FROM THE SYSTEM (Rome and Jesus' own people)
Think of a super hero figure like Superman, Batman and etc.
2. JESUS WAS BORN IN A LOWLY MANGER OF HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Look for an "underdog" interpretation of scripture. References are ussually made to the fact that there was no room in the end or the Son of God had no place to lay his head.
3. CRUCIFIXITION & RESURRECTION
Literary interpretation, Jesus died speaking truth to power. (Healing the sick, raising the dead, bulking the establishment, and performing miracles on the Sabbath)
He did not reject the mission to "bring the Kingdom of Justice and Truth down to earth as it already is in heaven."
His goals to lift the oppress was pursued on the basis of principles and not outcomes.
He (Jesus) did not care that his mission would lead to his eventual and inevitable death on the cross.
Liberation Theology is not a theology that is based on any group claiming superiority over another, but it is about a particular group or ethnicity that has been marginalized by society speaking for themselves about theology. (Hermeneutic of Suspicion)
JUST A QUESTION:
1. Does anyone get offended with the titles "Greek" Orthodox, "Russian" Orthodox, & "Roman" Catholic? Should people of different ethnicities be offended by such titles?
2. When Greek Orthodox have festivals that celebrate Greek Culture, Greek family structures, Greek Traditions, and Greek food, would you consider them separatist?
3. Let's look at other religious traditions. Should I feel uncomfortable going to a Mosque or a Synod because both religions are so closely tied to culture that it is hard to distinguish one from another? Should we call Jew's separatist because of they have "family ethics" that are particular to Jews. (My grandmother is Jewish)
Is seperatist a "pretty new" title for denominations or church communities that I am not comfortable or familiar with?
