Praise God or Godd#@n America

I am a republican even though I am poor and not religious. I especially would not consider voting for a democratic nominee who attended a church for 20 years whose reverend made racist remarks and said things like "Godd#@n America" I have heard enough of Wright's sermons to know that he is disgusting!! 


You mean to tell me that Obama did not know of his remarks after attending that church for about 20 years, yeah right?!! Personally I do not belive that for one second especially if this material was sold in the church lobby!

Yes, and also a difference between disliking a government and wishing they were "all dead".

Obviously many Democrats would gladly associate with former members of the Klan. Senator Byrd keeps getting re-elected. I believe he was some sort of leader of the KKK.

Out of curiosity, what does that have to do with his post to me?

*** More along the lines of about half my country being Catholic but us still having a pretty low birthrate. Not everybody agrees with every doctrine/teaching/comment in their church.

So now sex is equitable with racism and America-hating? Sorry, no sale.

~Personally, I think that gets a big "who cares?"~

*** No offense or anything, but not everything you post is exactly earth shattering either. I was interested in her opinion.

Really? I thought I was quite scintillating.

~but can you provide a link to that quote? So far I've only been able to find sites where people say he said it~

*** I watched it on youtube last week. I'm off to put away groceries but will try to find it later :) Since it's a big "who cares", I gather there is no rush.

I guess it only matters until November.

It had nothing to do with you. Dr. Livingston made a comment about the Klan, I didn't even pay attention who he was talking to. By your comments I can see you don't know much about how horrible the Klan is/was. It is nothing like being a former alcoholic, or even being homophobic (unless of course the homophobic friends of yours created the incredible terror and horrible horrible murders that the KKK created.)

I am pretty sure you got my point - people don't always believe or follow every detail of their church doctrine or pastor's teachings, whether it be contraception or the idea that criticism of a president leads to hell.

The Church's manifesto is based on racism...something not likely missed by Obama. You also rather slyly swapped the generic "every detail of their church" for the actual reality, which was a radical pastor who was a personal mentor and close family friend to Obama.

*** Unless you think they do? In which case, "sorry, no sell" ;)

A less disingenuous argument might have led you to a different conclusion. Sorry, no sale.

*** See you on other threads lol.

That seems likely. Hopefully you'll have a more honest argument if we do.

I'm not trying to be sly.
