“won’t the white churches let them campaign in their churches??????”
That is basically true, for the various “white” churches I have attended over 6 decades. Campaigning from the pulpit or in the church is not something that should take place in a house of God.
I don’t want a government that pretends that homosexuality is normal.
Governments get into trouble when they pretend. The U.S. government used to pretend that black people aren’t people and we had slavery. The Germans pretended that Jewish people aren’t people nad we the holocost. We currently pretend that preborn people aren’t people. We don’t need any more pretending by governments.
Oh great. Fudge-packing illegal aliens in the food stamp line, at the bank cashing bogus SS checks, driving stolen cars.
Executive order number 69: "National Hug A Homo Day" And a new Department: DOQ - Department of Queers chaired by Ben Dover.
The Supreme Count legalized pornography, abortion and homosexuality. What else is coming?
He’s auditioning for the VP slot.
She's gettin' ready.
Well, Huckabee came pretty close, this is why I find him unpalatable. I hate the hypocracy of the Rats saying there is too much religion in politics — then rushing to Black churches to stir the faithful. I’m all for religion in the public square—as our shared religious values, not as sectarian appeals.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Republican Mike Huckabee spoke from the pulpit Sunday, not as a politician but as the preacher he used to be, delivering a sermon on how merely being good isn’t enough to get into heaven.
Huckabee is vying for support from the Christian conservatives who dominate the GOP in South Carolina, which on Saturday chooses a Republican presidential nominee. A former Baptist minister and Arkansas governor, Huckabee is competing for their votes with fellow southerner Fred Thompson.
As in Iowa, where Huckabee won the Jan. 3 caucuses, Huckabee is rousing pastors to marshal their flocks for him. He pitches himself as someone who not only shares their views against abortion and gay marriage but who actually comes from their ranks.
Is he a Reverend? If not, can we talk about specific policies concerning the war on terror and immigration? This feel good speech is nothing but a jerk off.
On behalf of those who can’t spell my nickname, I resent the premise of this thread. ;)
Oh yeah . . . and I demand reparations.
“for too long, some of us have seen the immigrants as competitors for jobs instead of companions in the fight for opportunity.”
What the he[[ does that mean?
You are so right, remember what Jesus did to the people who used the Synogog for a store? Same, same in my opinion.
Since when is Obama a preacher man? I ask you. He’s been in the pulpit an awful lot lately. So much for the Dem’s much vaunted separation of church and state. And what about the laws against politicking in churches. Oh yeah, that’s right, blacks can do it, whites can’t. So much for equality.
She's got HLK's church booked for tomorrow, the Hollow Day.
She one-uppitied B. Hussein
I have no idea.
Fresh off Nevada win, Clinton heads to historic Harlem church

NEW YORK - Fresh off a caucus victory in Nevada and with the South Carolina primary looming ahead of her, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was back in her home state on Sunday.
The presidential contender attended service at a historic black church in Harlem and later gained the endorsement of the church's well-known pastor.
Clinton received a standing ovation from the congregation at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, founded by a group of Ethiopian sea traders more than 200 years ago. Rev. Calvin Butts, a Clinton supporter, introduced her as someone who "has been our friend."
In her remarks, Clinton told churchgoers how pleased she was to be there on the weekend of Martin Luther King Day, and recounted how she had gone with her church youth group to hear him speak.
"It was a transforming experience for me," she said. "He made it very clear that the Civil Rights movement was about economic justice."

Perhaps, Obama should urge blacks to pay reparations to gays. :)
Apparently, Obama never heard the old saying:
“Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”
The more heard from and about Obama — the less impressive he becomes....
Yes, I believe he has a religious background.
So does does the Reverend Jesse Jackson and the Reverend Al Sharpton. I think that he is more similar to them that many would think, and that includes his foreign policy and immigration.
I’m not giving him a pass on this play at religious politics. I think it is bad for the health of our political system whether done by Democrats or Republicans. I wouldn’t vote for John F Kerry because he was (NOMINALLY) Catholic but against him because his ideas and history were an anathema.
In the end, cheap religious theatrics will hurt the real, important place of religion in our shared American judeo-christian culture.
