Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton

Someone--rather boldly--once tried to convince me that the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had much in common.  Indeed, they did, but not in the ways that most of us would recognize.

Certainly, both are African-Americans, although I believe that Dr. King would probably eschew the hyphenated designation and emphasize the American part. And certainly, like Dr. King, Jackson probably stands up in the men's room when he--ahem--empties his bladder. Beyond that, the comparisons end.

And rather abruptly. Dr. King was a legitimate Baptist minister who spent countless hours in church pulpits preaching the genuine gospel.

And the Rev. Jackson? He possesses one of those synthetic ordination certificates that anyone who has money can obtain. These days, you can purchase them online from various organizations that will ordain you for the cash. But back in the day, you had to fill out a form, send in the money order and wait for the envelope to arrive.

Rumor has it that when a young Jesse Jackson arrived in Chicago from the south in the early 1960s, he asked then Mayor Richard J. Daley for a job. Being a generous and considerate man, the mayor offered Jackson a position collecting coins in a Tri-State tollbooth.

Jackson declined and decided that by posing as a man of the cloth, he could earn a lot more money than by sitting in a tollbooth for eight hours a day in the middle of an expressway.

Indeed, the synthetic reverend has not only collected the big coin for nearly five decades from his grateful and gullible flock, but he's applied the race card effectively in intimidating various businesses into enhancing his family's good fortune.

Two of Jackson's sons, Jonathon and Yusef, obtained a Budweiser distributorship several years ago after Jackson leaned on Anheuser-Busch for being too white. Whether Jackson offers communion with Bud-Light instead of the liquid of the vine isn't known.

However, what is known is that Jackson isn't a legitimate servant of Jesus Christ. Nor has he ever been. And neither are other assorted clergy poseurs such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the Rev. Al Sharpton who masquerade as representatives of Jesus Christ.

Wright was Barack Obama's pastor and race mentor for many years when the 44th president hung his hat in Chicago. Sharpton currently serves as Obama's race mentor, having visited the White House on numerous occasions to school the president in the art of racial politics. But it's highly doubtful that Sharpton's conducting bible studies with the president during his visits.

For those who truly believe that men such as Jackson, Sharpton and Wright are legitimate church leaders, then pick up a bible and compare what Christ taught with what these men teach. Christ said this: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God." (Matthew 5:9) 

And here's what Wright said: The (U.S.) government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing "God Bless America". No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people. God damn America, for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America, as long as she tries to act like she is God, and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent.

And here's what Sharpton said: White folks was [sic] in caves while we was building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.

Finally, here's something else that Christ taught concerning those who claim to be God's ambassadors on earth: "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them." (Matthew 7:15-16)

However, you can only spot a wolf in sheep's clothing if you recognize what's coming out of the sheep's mouth. Those who can, stop listening. Those who can't become like sheep destined for the slaughter.
