Re: Barkley, Collins, Broussard, Gays and the NBA

And the President of the United States called to congratulate Collins for the bravery in 'coming out'.

Since when is that his job...to call the citizens of this country, giving support for a decision or lifestyle?

If he supports him privately, that's his business. But when it is made public that the so-called leader of our nation makes a call, he needs to call those who are raising young children alone...working a minimum wage job and trying to get along.

Call those with special needs children, Sir...

How about a 'straight' 61 year old Christian lady? I didn't get a call, and frankly don't want one or expect one.

But the point is, that is not his job.

Do your J-O-B, Mr. Obama, and leave the pats on the back to someone else.

There's a picture going around on Facebook of Tim Tewbow & Collins. Tewbow is ridiculed for stating he's a christian, but Collins praised and given a call from BO. Yeah, it does make you shake your head......

I confess, I don't stay on top of all that kind of "news", but, really? Tim Tebow was "ridiculed" for stating he's a Christian? Really?

Timmy are you serious? If you are, you haven't stayed on top of all that kind of "news". Even Saturday Night Live was making fun of him.

For stating that he is a Christian? Wow. Then I'm with you guys. That is uncalled for.

(Haven't watched the video you linked. Won't play, for me.)

I think that men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil, and that is what is happening today. Coupled with that, Christianity is not always palatable, because we've shown ourselves to be hypocrites and not a steady example of how people perceive Christianity to be. And then, (lol) for a Christian, sometimes church is just a pain in the tail feathers and you'd like to thump a match on it and walk away.

It's not. Why not call that reporter and assure him his religious freedoms will be upheld?
