Barack Obama is drawn to radical churches. He's like the binge drinker who can't resist the lure of a half priced happy hour.
Some say there's a religion gene that causes us to believe in some superior, unseen, power. That leads a number of people to attend worship services of a traditional variety. But like most genes, they don't impact everyone the same way. So we have Christians, Satanists, Snake Handlers, Hare Krishna, Radical Islam, and on and on.
Perhaps something happened to Barack Obama in his transition from global traveler to African American, and while Radical Islam wasn't yet a fixture, radical Jeremiah Wright taught a brand of Christianity that emphasized hatred over love and forgiveness.
Barack Obama, et ux, Michelle Obama, spent many a Sunday morning listening to a radical preacher curse America. Obama had to have absorbed some of it even if he didn't agree with it from the beginning. If he didn't love it, he tolerated it with much ease.
Now we learn he plans to speak at a mosque that has been associated with radical Islam. Anyone who says that Obama is Muslim is routinely ridiculed as an out-of-touch Islamophobe. Maybe he isn't Muslim. But he sure does exhibit a high degree of tolerance for extremist preachers.
