PastorD's Blog

Well said PastorD! Indeed, the hypocrisy of Obama's oratory is clearly evident. As to the possible personal implications of this contradiction in values, I am reminded of a metametaphorical question: "If you are told there is a rattle snake in a paper bag, are you going to reach into the bag to find out the truth?"

Let us hope we rememeber that "discretion is the better part of valor" when when making our final choices voting this year.

I don't think rattlesnakes fit into paper bags.

Not so fast there dudes and dudettes.

I gave the lad until noon today to convince me that he was not a racist by association. He met my time frame.

I don't know how many of you listened to his entire speech, I did.

I believe he has some racial baggage and an agenda formed by his own experience. But so do we all.

I believe he sees some things from different eyes than us white folks do.

He did convince me that he does not share then same outrageous views that Wright expressed.

I still plan to vote for McCain (unless he picks Jeb! or charlie to be his running mate).

Obama may just be what our country needs if we are going to heal the distrust and division we all see amongst the races. Of course he could also do a great job as McCains point man for reform and reconciliation. How about Obama for Sec of HUD?

He is not the "evil" fraud that some make him out to be...I believe he sufficiently dispelled that rumor..

Parts of clips may not tell the whole story.

Imus was a real pig for what he said about those girls. He was very personal and mean to kids who by all standards were great athletes and good students. They handled themselves with dignity.

If my daughter had been the subject of his attack I would have ripped off his head.

I was shocked and amazed at the reaction from blacks after the OJ verdict. I did not realize the depth of the division betweens blacks and whites.

We all have a duty to try to bring our country together. We start with our own prejudice.

YD we all have racial bagage but we aren't running for pesident either.
Let me ask you this, Is Rev. wright the type of man you want to have access to our president.
Also Rev. Wright is just one of the racist preachers who have contact with Obama. I am convenced their is no way Obama doesn't harbor the same feelings.

I would not want a racist bigot of any type to have "undue" influence on the President. That's up to the President.

Into this category I place Wright, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, Robertson, Hagee, Falwell (rest his soul).

I was SHOCKED that the venom spewed from the lips of Wright, the "famous black theologian". I don't live in that neighborhood so it is my ignorance I suppose.

The "comedy" of Imus was so harmful to those girls that as a father, I think he got what he deserved. Anybody messes with my baby girl and I'd rip his heart out.

I have relatives that utter disgusting hatred but I'm stuck with them being my cousins and uncles. Wright is an "uncle" to Obama and his good qualities must atone for his failings.

I still don't see the "smoking gun" which would cause me to condemn Obama as a racist. A black guy with an agenda, yes...but don't we all.

Wright is cool, Imus is racist?

Since when do two weongs make a right?

YD man I try to get you but I just can't! You act (or try to) so intelligent then you come up with some mindless BLEEP! Tell me why Imus was in the wrong here? You ever listen to ANY talk radio? Insults are the name of the game. And last I checked we still had the freedom of speech. Or is there a fine line that race divides? And as far as your Obama's speech goes, Anyone who bought any of that nonsense I have a piece of land I'd like to sell you:) I'll give ya a great deal! No Really!:)

Sorry about my harsh language! Hope I didn't offend!
