Wishin’ y’all a great weekend. God bless!
You got my attention. ;o)
"...the national uniter said that yokels in small towns go to church because the economy is bad and are bitter because they worship God and not liberals and go hunting because they have lousy jobs. And these typical white people are guilty racists.
Oh, Lordy...I "cling" to my Bible and my guns. I guess I'm a "bitter" yokel. I'm, also, a typical white person.
The horror!
"Obama, to rephrase Obama, can no more disown Marxism than he can his racist crazy uncle Jeremiah, who -- by coincidence -- taught neo-Marxist "black liberation theology," which -- in another coincidence -- believes Jesus was black. Next we'll hear Karl Marx was black."
There ya' go.
This is a "must read" for all. I hope the mod in charge will label it so.
God love you, JH2, for your writing skills, and your affection for telling it like it is...OKA your 2 cents.
You're a great gift....
You know, I see the comments on "Bitter-Americans" as more "projection" than anything else. In "Rev-rund" Wright's world, religion is more or less a means to unleashed pent-up anger and hatred. They worship in order to hate. It's a functional purge of their daily frustrations at embracing failure, and they get to blame someone else for their own life's disaster. Barack just shows up for the votes, and "Rev-rund" Wright for the collection dish, however they've created an industry and harvested $ by fostering hate, and that's a fact.
Thanks, new signature...
They don’t worship. They hold a hate rally.
Are there songs of praise? Is there talk of redemption for EVERYBODY regardless of skin color?
If not, then the ex-muslim preacher was no Christian.
A great, non-bitter, weekend for you too!
laughed until I cried, I did.
Thanks for your amusing two cents!
So I'm thinking about voting for Obama AND the delegates pledged to Hillary. What do you think?
JH2:
ROFLMAO - made my day!
Big laugh
Journalists Slam ABC Debate Tactics
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/04/18/_journalists_slam_abc_debate_t/
By Dean Baker - April 18, 2008, 1:11PM
[Note: The following is a sign-on letter to ABC to which I was a signer. I am posting it in my slot at TPMCafe to help circulate it, not because I played a lead role in drafting it.]
We, the undersigned, deplore the conduct of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson at the Democratic Presidential debate on April 16. The debate was a revolting descent into tabloid journalism and a gross disservice to Americans concerned about the great issues facing the nation and the world. This is not the first Democratic or Republican presidential debate to emphasize gotcha questions over real discussion. However, it is, so far, the worst.
For 53 minutes, we heard no question about public policy from either moderator. ABC seemed less interested in provoking serious discussion than in trying to generate cheap shot sound-bites for later rebroadcast. The questions asked by Mr. Stephanopoulos and Mr. Gibson were a disgrace, and the subsequent attempts to justify them by claiming that they reflect citizens’ interest are an insult to the intelligence of those citizens and ABC’s viewers. Many thousands of those viewers have already written to ABC to express their outrage.
The moderators’ occasional later forays into substance were nearly as bad. Mr. Gibson’s claim that the government can raise revenues by cutting capital gains tax is grossly at odds with what taxation experts believe. Both candidates tried, repeatedly, to bring debate back to the real problems faced by ordinary Americans. Neither moderator allowed them to do this.
We’re at a crucial moment in our country’s history, facing war, a terrorism threat, recession, and a range of big domestic challenges. Large majorities of our fellow Americans tell pollsters they’re deeply worried about the country’s direction. In such a context, journalists moderating a debate—who are, after all, entrusted with free public airwaves—have a particular responsibility to push and engage the candidates in serious debate about these matters. Tough, probing questions on these issues clearly serve the public interest. Demands that candidates make pledges about a future no one can predict or excessive emphasis on tangential “character” issues do not. This applies to candidates of both parties.
Neither Mr. Gibson nor Mr. Stephanopoulos lived up to these responsibilities. In the words of Tom Shales of the Washington Post, Mr. Gibson and Mr. Stephanopoulos turned in “shoddy, despicable performances.” As Greg Mitchell of Editor and Publisher describes it, the debate was a “travesty.” We hope that the public uproar over ABC’s miserable showing will encourage a return to serious journalism in debates between the Democratic and Republican nominees this fall. Anything less would be a betrayal of the basic responsibilities that journalists owe to their public.

You have quite a way with words. Absolutely perfect!
Thanks for the ping
Sadly, this guy , with his total hate America mantra and anti-American crowd of supporters, has come further than I (or most) could ever imagined.
It's like a sick version of the the twilight zone come to life.
But now the cat is out of the bag and his "issues" are on display for all to see and base their decision upon.
God grant the American people the wisdom to respoundingly thrash this quisling and the audacity of his mis-begotten hope.
