It’s Jesus Or Barabbas All Over Again (Clarence Thomas And Bill Clinton)

The Washington Dispatch ^ | 9/2/03 | Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

More than two thousand years ago, there were two other men. One was named Jesus, the other Barabbas. Jesus was a representation of all that is good and righteous, Barabbas a notorious and despicable criminal. A crowd was given a choice by their governor, Pilate, on which one would be spared from execution. The crowd unanimously chose Barabbas, self-righteously proclaiming that they wanted Jesus’ blood on them. Barabbas was released to the crowd and they watched Jesus be flogged and crucified.

Really good article Jesse Peterson...Kudos to you!

Was Jesus into porn? Bill Clinton and Clarence Thomas are both pervs. The fact that Thomas is conservative doesn't make him any less kinky.

Wow, he was on fire when he wrote this one! Great read.

We see this story of long ago paralleled today with Bill Clinton and Clarence Thomas. Bill Clinton is a Barabbas-like man: notorious, the lowest of the low, he stands for all that’s wrong. Clarence Thomas is a Christ-like man: strong, immovable, he stands for good. And yet there are actually people with the gall to protest Clarence Thomas, while no one (in Tougaloo) says a word about Bill Clinton

People naturally choose Barrabas. Is anyone surprised by this?

[abigail2]

Where did you get that?

[abigail2]

Thank you!! He really was on fire. He knows how to cut through the ---.

[abigail2]

Doesn't make it right does it?

[abigail2]

Though he is using Thomas and Clinton here, I can think of lots of other people who you could insert instead.

***People naturally choose Barrabas. Is anyone surprised by this?***

Yes, I am, if it's true, which I doubt. This is just another way of stating that people are naturally immoral. There may be many immoral people, but they are not so naturally.

Sounds a lot like what we will be doing here in California in a few weeks, Cruz/Arnold versus Tom. I don't have to tell you who is who, its obvious, which proves my point.

[abigail2]

Thanks for that GrandmanPatriotess..

[abigail2]

Thank you and I agree with you, thus our unhappiness and conflict.

[nightdriver]

Thank you, Rev. Peterson, for saying this. It needs to be said, even though most of us couldn't have gotten away with saying it.

[abigail2]

Thanks and I see your point.
