Getting the clergy to assist the government in taking your freedom has been done before. The communists got Catholic clergy to tell their flock that communism and Christianity were compatable in Latin America in the fifties and sixties.
It's called liberation theology. The government used this technique in Peru, Uruguay, Brazil and El Salvadaor. Jeremiah Wright practices and preaches what is called black liberation theology, which is a melding of Marxism, racism and a perverted form of Christianity. That's Obama's religion, in case anyone has forgotten.
