Wright said: “I served six years in the military. Does that make me patriotic? How many years did (Vice President Dick) Cheney serve?”

BINGO

What more does Rev. Wright need to say? On April 7, 1775 the famous American Patriot, Samuel Johnson, said that the cries of patriotism are the last refuges of the scoundrel.

And, John McCain is an anti-Catholic bigot!

I heard many of the recent remarks of the Reverend, and think I understand what he said and why he said it, and how he may feel. His questions and answers at the speech confirms to me, that he’s still a jerk. Horse’s butt seemed a little strong. Appropriate, perhaps, but still strong. Just because you may be technically right in some ways doesnt mean you’re not a self-righteous silly sanctimonious somewhat hypocritical and pompous and unfairly judgmental jerk. Just a thought.

ps in a nutshell, he’s no Calypso Louie Farahkan, Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, let alone other even more charasmatic and inspirational black orators, preachers and leaders.
Shouldnt necessarily be a reflection on Barack, however.

If its not a reflection on Barack, why does Barack think of Wright as his Uncle and spiritual advisor?

Rev. Wright has now thrown Barack under the bus. He called him just another typical politician that will say anyhing he has to in order to get elected. Imagine that!

Bill Haas,

A jerk? The media has been the jerks taking the majority of Wrights sermons out of context.

Funny, when African Americans are confident, many in the status quo sees it as arrogant.

Funny, when African Americans are not a–kissers, and pleasers for the status quo, they are seen as self-righteous silly sanctimonious somewhat hypocritical and pompous and unfairly judgmental jerks.

But worst, is the nerve of the world to sit back and judge a minister for speaking God’s truth, and for pointing out social evils that the U.S. has committed.

Until scripture is inscribed into ones heart, I would suggest that one restrain themselves from judgement concerning spiritual matters.

Rev. Wright is being demonized in the media for saying God d—America.

When angry for just causes, Christians/Saints have pleaded with God to damn/condemn others and countries.
Saints (all those who truly love and live by God’s truth) despise and hate injustices and evil so much that we get so fed up and disgusted with all the injustices on this earth, we sometimes call out to God to hurry up and bring judgment on this earth, as we can see in scripture, in the Book of Revelations where it is prophesied that even the Saints in Heaven is shown will do.
This tells me that it is a natural emotion of God’s children (Saints) even on this earth presently. God does not judge such emotion as being sinful. I imagine it is because, one is seeking out God to do justice and judge and not ourselves seeking our own justice and revenge. As shown in scripture below:
(Revelation 6:9:11)
Then the Lamb broke open the fifth seal. I saw underneath the alter the souls of those who had been killed because they had proclaimed God’s word and had been faithful in their witnessing. They shouted in a loud voice, Almighty God, holy and true! How long will it be until you judge the people on the earth and punish them for killing us? Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the complete number of other servants and believers were killed, as they had been.
Do you think God’s children on earth now are any different? King David and others in Old Testament also sought out God to bring judgment upon evil people and governments.

In too many churches if the body is made to feel uncomfortable, even the preaching of a simple truth such as fornication is sin against the body and God, and such sin separates one from a relationship with God most can’t bare to hear this truth and would leave the church because they want to feel comfortable in their sins. Churches everywhere are selling out God and Christ in order to keep their large membership.

It is not surprising however that the world feels this way about Rev. Wright because the world have always rejected truth and have always ridiculed God’s messengers of social truths, Martin Luther King, and many, many others. The most famous one was Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

We all realize that the world considered Jesus Christ and his followers demon possessed nut cases, don’t we? Well, nothing has changed much even this present day.

Calling Rev. Wright unpatriotic and one who does not love his country is like saying a parent hates their own child if they were to hand them over for to the law for punishment upon learning that they were guilty of a murder or some other serious crime. We must not condone or sweep under the rug, no one’s evils, not this country or even our own children, doing such only creates monsters.

A CENTRIST,

Rev. Wright has not thrown Obama under any bus. That is just the spin the media is attempting to give it.

The dominant culture in this world resists change. They cannot accept a black man being a contender for the presidency and although this man has a very well educated background comes from many cultures in his family, a very eloquent speaker and has the experience to possibly do a very good job for this country and make the necessary changes for all classes of people, and this dominant culture wants “business as usual”. Well, go ahead and vote for the same business as usual. Your GAS prices is going to go up to $10 a gallon, no health care for your elderly and children, your houses will be foreclosed upon because it will be to expensive to pay, they will take your pensions on your jobs, they will ship your jobs overseas, they will impose more taxes on food so you cannot afford it, your sons and daughters will die in this war that will continue - who knows how long. You will not be able to afford college for your children and you want be able save and leave an inheritence to your next generation. So when you want change in this country, you want find none.

Wow. I didn’t know this country was so terrible, Pat Mitchell. I guess I’m headed to Canada where everything is just peachy.

TO AMAZED BY THE LUNACY. DO YOU READ AND STUDY WHAT’S GOING ON IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT OR DO YOU RELY ON SOUND BITES.
