The Religious Right likes to talk about being Christian, but if Christ were on this earth to meet them today he'd tell them how un-Christlike they are.

Republican Christians on the other hand want to use government to spread religion, they want to force its values on others. They tout it at every turn yet break it when is suits them, they pick and choose it to justify racism and bigotry. In other words, they are nutjobs, and in fellow nutjob Palin's words: "Iraq is a task from God".

excellent post

If Bush didn't have a 30% approval, Condi Rice would have easily been the Repub nom

Why did you title this thread as if Obama was speaking out against white people?

This is true. They've read mine on here. Many times. (nodding sagely)

They even told me what I was really thinking, v. what I just thought I was thinking.

(eyes widening)

So when you're told what someone is really thinking or doing by someone who never met the person...you should seriously listen up, folks.

Anything else would be just...ignorant.

Obama only spoke the truth.

No, it's not. But the Right is desperate.

Your insane to think that no one in those rural areas have racist tendencies to be preyed upon by Republicans. They don't mention the fact that Obama is black because Obama does it EVERYTIME HE IS ON CAMERA.
