To make a buck now in the activist economy, you have to come out as a defender of civil rights. There are untold thousands (or millions) to be picked up by taking advantage of citizen concerns our civil liberties are being encroached by the new terrorism laws. Give the slime balls credit for seizing an opportunity.

These are not Born Again Christians. Period. I don't care what they call themselves, I know that the Spirit would never allow their behavior. Period.

"These are not Born Again Christians. Period. I don't care what they call themselves, I know that the Spirit would never allow their behavior. Period."

Agreed.

The "Rev." at the beginning of their names should stand for "revolting."

Excellent article ourobos. You are so good at finding articles.

In case our usual contigent of name-callers try to flame you or Ms. Wright, it should be pointed out that she is an African-American.

She's an independent thinker, so she takes a lot of abuse from groups who think she should espouse the view they expect from her.

I disagree. The writing should stand on its own. We should not cut slack, make allowances, or give extra credit for one's racial composition. If it were germane to the article she would have mentioned it. A white man or woman should be able to make the exact same observations and asserations as Ms. Wright without flame.

*I know what you meant I just think it's important to make my point also.

Thanks for the ping. It is interesting to watch some black leaders try to be relevant since 9/11, especially the civil rights crowd. They can't really come out like the far left so they're stuck.
