Slaves to the liberal state, not much has changed

“I’ve seen the tone of the religious right,” said G.E. Patterson, the church’s presiding bishop. “It seemingly was born out of the fact that African-Americans were making too many gains.”

Where on earth did they ever get this insane idea?

“Every law that has anything to do with leveling the playing field for blacks, they are against it,” he said.

That's because every one of those laws that claims to "level the playing field", actually punishes the innocent in violation of Scripture... and I'm sure that deep down he knows this, however desperately he tries to deny it to himself.

Bump for adding the ping list when I get home....

The bible is clear that we are to help those who LEGITAMATELY need help. The bible would say "widows who are widows indeed." On the able bodied the bible says "if they don't work they don't eat." Sounds like compassionate conservatism to me.

Prove it. Please cite one example where the "religious right" has done any of these things?

“There’s a lot more to morality than just those two points,” he said.

Nah, it is all about money and power.

They like it on the plantation. Massa treats them nice. Gives them things like welfare checks, food stamps, housing allowances, etc. and thereby replaces the guy who used to sit at the head of the table decades ago.

Now a string of uncles drop in for a few days to add a few more to the family.

Then it just goes on and on and on for generation after generation!

Bishop Patterson must have DNC version of the Bible that says that only a Democrat gobermint can free the blacks from the enslavement to the man. Or else it is the walking around money he and his pastors receive every 4 years. Hm wonder if he ordered the new Caddy yet.

Ever seen some of those COGIC convention attendees? I did while living in the Memphis area. The people I encountered always looked mad.

Patterson always stays at the hotel where prostitution is rampant. I saw him interviewed and he was not aware of the illicit activities around the hotel he has been staying at when in Memphis for the last nine years (Choke).

The Journal Gazette is a radical leftist newspaper, particularly considering that it is published in the most Republican area of Indiana.

The paper's current owners (Mrs. Inskeep and her husband) had the good fortune of inheriting it from her parents, and so on back for several generations. Having been smart enough to inherit their wealth, these folks have nothing but disdain for those who actually try to produce something to create theirs.

The Fort Wayne black religious leadership this year actually endorsed the Republican candidate for Indiana Governer and these folks are hell-bent to make sure the darkies remain subservient to the Democratic powers that be.

So what? I have met White Pentecostals that don't really like the GOP either.

“I’ve seen the tone of the religious right,” said G.E. Patterson, the church’s presiding bishop. “It seemingly was born out of the fact that African-Americans were making too many gains.”

Perhaps the Bishop would do better to 'hear' the tone; than to 'see' it.

Could make a difference in his interpretation. . .

Message to Rove: get a sacks full of snakes sent out there ASAP!

[jimfree]

I've been hired by blacks and have been able to hire blacks. Black advancement has been very good (profitable) to me. I remain right wing. The right is about real black advancement. We are not about giving handouts; we are about giving a hand.

“Every law that has anything to do with leveling the playing field for blacks, they are against it,” he said

Actually, what they are against is the 'leveling' of Blacks to play on that field.

What?! This makes no sense at all.

Thou shalt not bear false witness. Obviously that's lost on you, Patterson.
