Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
By Gary Kamiya [2008-03-25]

    Let's see if you can follow this: the notion of self governance, in the scheme of global political thought, is an emphatically liberal idea. America was founded, influenced in part by the desire for religious freedom, on that principle. So, those Christians, and their priests or ministers, were liberals. If not, they were Tories. Civil rights were driven by ministers. Liberals. Women's suffrage, and women's rights, were championed by liberal ministers. So, your premise is entirely, one hundred percent, completely, dead ass wrong. Let us pray.
