Bishop T.D. Jakes of The Potter’s House (l) and Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas (r).

I stand with Nelson Mandela.

It’s amazing to me that only seven states require photo ID to vote: Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

Neither one has a say in it so they both need to shut up and stick to their day jobs.

[chajin]

I am somewhat surprised at Jakes; he doesn’t usually stand with the “mainstream” black churches (National Baptist, AME, etc.), nor have I generally heard of him to take positions on non-doctrine-related political issues. Another day, another lesson.

Doesn’t Christ teach honesty and accountability?

[fwdude]

I challenge anyone who opposes voter ID laws as “unnecessary” to immediately remove all locks from the doors of their homes if they have never been burglarized and if burglary is “miniscule” in their area.

Come on, drones. Do it!!!

Since so many things in life require an ID, I'm surprised these Pastors aren't helping their (very few) congregants who don't have one, obtain one. Instead of looking at it like it is some kind of demeaning requirement that the poor or minorities are unable to obtain, why not empower them by helping them get an ID so they are equal in every way with all other Americans?

In other words, quit bitching and help folks

I bet if they contract the making of ID’s at Jake’s church he’d change his mine.

“wrote Ginsburg ‘may prevent more than 600,000 registered Texas voters (about 4.5 percent of all registered voters) from voting in person for lack of compliant identification. A sharply disproportionate percentage of those voters are African-American or Hispanic,’ she noted, adding that ‘racial discrimination in elections in Texas is no mere historical artifact.’”

The Ruth Buzzi wannabe is deeply troubled.

YBPDLN* Ping List Ping!

The YBPDLN Ping List is generally published infrequently but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

Because 18,000 People Can’t Be Wrong!

I wonder Bishop Jakes...You host various mega-conferences...In order for a person to get backstage at one of these events, do you require credentials at all? Or can just anyone meander back there to hobnob with the muckety-muck preacher types? Meh- you’re right. Such a requirement - like a press pass or event badge - would be needless.

[Madame Dufarge]

Your thoughts?

What better way to end discrimination than to have every one show identification.

[cloudmountain]

I always vote absentee and get the voter information and ballot in the mail box WEEKS before the election. Then, I’ve MAILED in my ballot, VOTED and don’t have to listen to EITHER side.
