McCLATCHY LETS ME DOWN

This article - "Obama's church pushes controversial doctrines" - seems to be just pushing the wingnut meme about how radical Obama's church is and by extension, how radical Obama is. The second sentence shows this clearly:
Merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow.

I've made this argument before but it's time to state it again: The earliest Christians were early Marxists:

Acts of the Apostles

(New Revised Standard version)

4:32 Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common.

4:34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.

4:35 They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.
