FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

[MissBrattified]

I don't excuse Jeremiah Wright based on "context" anymore than I would excuse it in any Apostolic preacher. In fact, if an Apostolic preacher said something similar, most of you would rip him to shreds. So please don't waste your breath defending this charlatan.

Integrity is reflected both in what we say and what we do. What's down in the well comes up in the bucket. This man's rhetoric is not godly or reflective of honorable character. He would make a good politician--maybe. As far as what he says--I put him in the same category as Jesse Jackson. He's about as inspirational.

What we need as a country is for someone to stop the sniveling and whining on one side of the race coin, and stop the discrimination on the other side. I have never in my life treated someone badly because of their race, culture or skin color. Ever. So I get a little sick of hearing men like JW pound it into the heads of his constituents as if it is commonplace and normal. Maybe in isolated parts of the country, but certainly not as widespread as some would have us believe.

As for the slavery and the bad decisions by our government--come ON! I have two grandparents who were full-blooded Indian. But I don't go around ranting about the U.S. government robbing them of their land all the time and crying over spilled milk. Nor would I allow our children to talk about or dwell on something like that. As a parent I feel an obligation to teach my children to be thankful for what they have, and I would think a pastor would feel a similar obligation to encourage his congregation to be thankful, to love God, country and neighbors. Instead, JW is leading the way in inciting resentment, and stirring up ill feelings that should be repented over--not sympathized and empathized with.

I also think its hilarious that it's the "rich Republicans" who are mentioned--as if there aren't any rich Democrats. History is being rewritten, and before you know it, the Democrats will take credit for desegregation. Someone needs to educate themselves, JW included, and thank a few Republicans for their good works.

If JW were simply a politician, his comments wouldn't cause me to blink an eye. But I expect more from "men of God."
