All the talk of religion, and here we have people trying to tear each other down, does not seem like a very Christian perspective to me.

He spoke for 15 minutes straight about Pastor Wright and that mans comments. he said if Wright had not retired, Obama would have left that church. It was an interesting 15 minutes. I personally can not stomach nor stand Elizabeth Hasselbach and she fawned over him, which amazed me. <br>You made some very interesting points today!<br>HUGS, ljAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-17040381025405360382008-03-29T08:28:00.000-07:002008-03-29T08:28:00.000-07:00In my opinion, people who reject Obama because of ...In my opinion, people who reject Obama because of the Wright affair were looking for a reason to reject him. There is a soft racism in America that doesn't look like the hard, obvious racism with which we associate the word. It is a mindset that just can't forget that someone is black, that maintains a vague fear about blackness that just won't be shaken. There is no conscious racial bias, the n-word would never pass their lips, but there is nonetheless, a great resistance to seeing Obama as above and beyond and before everything else, a VERY SMART PERSON, PERIOD. Can't we all agree that after 7 years of idiocy, that's what matters most?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-79473523750430137972008-03-29T16:52:00.000-07:002008-03-29T16:52:00.000-07:00I had to go back and re-read the quitting part...u...I had to go back and re-read the quitting part...until I read ahead and realized it was sarcasm!!

We do talk about it, especially lately, but if it gets too heated, I sort of withdraw rather than contribute to any major discord. <br><br>I guess my philosophy is that while we may have differences--some minor, some major--about various issues, I think we all want to see our country and its citizens prosper, and I think we want to see America's good name restored in the world. I still think that's possible, and I hope I'm not wrong.<br><br>Thanks for your thoughts!<br><br>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-91460178870224188642008-03-30T15:52:00.000-07:002008-03-30T15:52:00.000-07:00I'm floating this weekend....brain is on overload....I'm floating this weekend....brain is on overload.

I'm not up on all of the details, but I think he belonged to that church for quite a while and the pastor married him and Michelle? Now, I've been waiting to vote for Barrack Obama ever since the 2004 democratic national convention, but hearing that he was close to a person who sounded so much like a Louis Farrakhan to me turned me off a little. It won't keep me from voting for him, but I was disappointed. <br>Of course, it would take a large miracle for me to ever endorse Hillary, so he's got a lot of wriggle room! 8 lives left.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
