I’m not a big Hannity fan, but I listen here and there. He said something that struck me the other day. I think he was talking about Obama’s website linking to the Black Panthers, about how the media won’t dig any of this stuff up and so forth. Anyway, I’m paraphrasing, but he said we have a crisis of information in this country. You are right, it’s looking kinda scary.
True. In my city, we get more than to just hear about black resentment, almost every day. There is a stabbing, shooting, car-jacking or a home-invasion almost every night. And 95% of the time, guess what race the perps are?
Flame away...
Go Ann Go!
Me too!!!!
I would miss Ann if she was not there.
You can bet that there will be riots WHEN he loses, whether its the nomination or the presidency.
Obama's followers are essentially mindless ,. emotive cultists who believe in Utopia and the totalitarian authority necessary to impose it.
A pox on every last one of them!
Reading the article skimming the thread almost caused me to miss Zionist Conspirator's GRRRREAT post!
BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
Jim Rob needs to mark this day down in FR history! I’ve actually said something some people thing is smart!
I can't believe this! I shoot my mouth off here all the time, and generally say ten foolish things for every wise one.
Anyway, thanks for the kind words!
“I had always thought that if anything could help black youngsters turn their lives around, it was the black churches. Now Im wondering if they arent a major part of the problem.”
I don’t know much about it, but I read several years ago that many Christian churches really do lead black youth away from crime and into productive, happy lives. Those would be the churches that preach actual Christianity rather than some politicized, Leftist excuse factory.
There’s a difference between claiming that if a nation continues to defy God, God will withdraw His blessing and His hand of protection from it and allow another nation to be used as a judgement against it- - - and preaching that because of our policies toward other nations, somehow the terrorist attacks are deserved or justified.
Big difference.
Clearly there are some wonderful black Christian churches, and there are some racist black churches, whose primary purpose is politics and fundraising.
What I don’t know is what the numbers are. I had always assumed that these racist, unChristian churches were the minority. Now, I’m wondering.
Heavens knows there are a lot of sick white churches out there, so I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise about the black churches. But at least there aren’t many openly racist white churches around any more. Black churches, I don’t know.
Yeah, what worries me are these claims I’ve heard recently that we shouldn’t make such a big deal about Wright because he is typical of black preachers. If that’s true, we have a big problem. We can only hope that the firestorm over Wright has knocked some sense into a few of them and their followers.
Nope no difference. Falwell and the rest blame american’s for bringing the wrath of the jihad down upon us.
Same sh*t different pile.
Anyways Coulter can drag her scrawny butt and go vote for her hero Hilary....good luck to her.
“Nope no difference. Falwell and the rest blame americans for bringing the wrath of the jihad down upon us.”
You’re kidding, right?
In case you’re not, let me try to explain the difference.
First of all, Falwell was talking about sinful *behavior* — not race. As far as I know, Falwell has *never* tried to link any particular behavior with any particular race. Pastor Wright, on the other hand, does so routinely.
Second, open your eyes and consider the styles of delivery. Falwell talks in a more or less normal tone of voice. Pastor Wright, on the other hand, talks like Adolph Hitler.
I think Falwell’s remarks were ill advised. Although they may have contained a grain of truth, he should have known that they were inappropriate public statements. But they are not in the same category as Wright’s. Not even close.
Ann is right as usual.
That is a truly excellent post. I’m glad others pointed it out because I wasn’t going to read every post on this thread.
