Your sn fits you.

I said: The only place racism still finds a home is in the hearts of those who reject Christ and what He and His apostles taught.

If there are Christians who are racist, they too are rejecting Christ and Christian teaching. That has been clear in every word I've written on this thread.

So quit twisting my comments.

EV, Mark my words Cromwell will march in The US before the commies do. We are at the end of a political era and in the midst of a major politcal realignment.

[EternalVigilance]

We are. But maybe you might want to explain what you mean a little more.

[freedumb2003]

Your sn fits you. Ad hominum! How appropros!

[freedumb2003]

So quit twisting my comments.

I quoted you word for word. You are a Christian Elitist. The Jews reject Christ.

I remind my Sunday School teens that all believers in Jesus are blood relatives, and we are closer to our brothers and sisters in the faith than we are to our earthly kin. This gives them a different perspective on relationships.

[EternalVigilance]

Again, you twist my words.

[EternalVigilance]

Excellent.

[EternalVigilance]

So, you are claiming that I'm anti-Jewish?

[EternalVigilance]

The very fact that you have a sn that I can refer to as fitting you, and that you can then take that as an ad hominem attack, seems, all in itself, to prove my premise.

[freedumb2003]

How droll.

Like I said, I know your type. I usually get more enjoyment out of watching you writhe -- but you DID follow the script for the most part.

Thanks for my daily chuckle.

[EternalVigilance]

I also know 'your type' quite well.

Later.

1. I am a believer in the cyclical nature af American Politics, the eighty year cycle as it is known, this period reminds me of the 1840's.

2.America is a religious country and as you well know before the Wilsonian secularists took over the Church always a strong influence on politics. It is more muted now than in the past but it is still there and and very strong in a lot of communities.

3.As you know I live in Mass and there is a small but growing Evangelical movement. When I was a kid the only Protestants were us Yankees, there were no Pentacostals, no Southern Baptists, and no Independant Evangelical Churches, out side of the black community. It ain't that way anymore, I like to keep track of these things.

Another thing is that the Mass Republican Party, is largely, again outside of us Yankee straight ticket voters, is largely composed of non Irish hyphenated Americans, many of whom are very attached to their church, Greeks, Armenians, and Italians.

[EternalVigilance]

Got it.

[EternalVigilance]

There is much evidence for what you say.

[Southack]

One of the things that we have each noted and discussed is that far too few Republicans are physically present in Black churches and communities, getting to personally know people and understand firsthand what is on everyone's mind.

Well, here we have President Bush doing precisely the right thing (pun intended). He's there. He's speaking. More importantly, he's listening.

It's a start.

Really a fantastic article! Thanks for the ping, mhking! I love it!

(excerpt:---Darwin's "Descent of Man" influenced the Dred Scott Case, 1856, which stated slaves "had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order...so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit."

" This influenced Margaret Sanger, who, prior to World War II, founded Planned Parenthood and hired Nazi Party member Ernst Rudin as her advisor. In her book "Pivot of Civilization" (1922), she called for "The elimination of 'human weeds'...overrunning the human garden;...for the cessation of 'charity' because it prolonged the lives of the unfit; for the segregation of 'morons, misfits, and the
maladjusted'; and for the sterilization of genetically inferior races."

Sanger influenced Hitler to consider the German, or "Aryan," race as "ubermensch," supermen, being more advanced in the supposed progress of human evolution. This resulted in their perverted effort to rid the "human gene
pool" of "untermensch" - races considered less evolved, through the gas chambers. Stalin followed this example, exterminating 25 million "inferior" Ukrainians.
