Hey. Speaking of gonads in proximity to Obama, what ever happened to that crazy homo-coked up Larry Sinclair guy?
The propaganda machine that is in effect will not and cannot ask that question of Obama..... it would expose even more the lack of experince and knowledge that he has
His answer would, of course, be “no.” That has been his answer since he began to run for the Senate 4 years ago. He is not stupid and we cannot expect him to be tripped up so easily.
WELL, Dilbert, tell that to the millions of black people waiting for their cash.
What did Phleger, however you spell it, say about reperations?
I do not know if this fact has been posted, but there were black slave owners too, a tidbit well understood and documented in my small southern county. In fact, a local black contractor apparently ‘mortgaged’ his black family in the 1850’s to engage in real estate speculation and the city fathers paid the note rather than foreclose on the family.
That was not the resolution he knew...
From his writings I suspect that he would NOT be for a one time reparations payout.
After all, he did NOT have ancestors who were slaves in America so he would not be elligible for a dime but he does believe in a concept of white privilege.
We could all be made to pay a “white privilege tax” instead. Since obviously we have secret handshakes and make plans to keep the black man down and to try to tell people that Obama’s really got a bunch of white and arab ancestors that he’d rather not talk about....
Obama has denounced and rejected Farrakhan. He has told Rev Wright to desist and has divorced his Church.
What is he going to expect us to do for him?
It's why you have to pay close attention to that racist rhetoric about "white privilege" (e.g. Pfleger insisting that Hillary felt entitled to something a black man was taking from her).
Obama's skin is black. Therefore he feels he has been discriminated against just as much as anyone born to the grandchildren of slaves.
But I know men who would be classified as "hispanic" who have a black father and a Mexican mother and don't get to tell people "they" are black. Because their skin isn't a pigment that would qualify them for redistribution of wealth.
From each according to his sins, to each according to his voting bloc.
I’ve been wondering this since the so-called “debates”.
Make him Supreme Ruler.
Does he have a new Church? Or is he a Christian without a home?
Where and when was he baptised?
How does he claim to have been raised as a Christian in Indonesia when his mother was an atheist and his father was a non-practicing muslim?
If Pastor Wright “brought” Obama to Jesus as he claims, what was he until that point (birth up through his college years)?
And how about the descendants of Confederate soldiers who lost some valuable property?
Its a nonsensical question.
Slavery is wrong, but it also has been around since probably the time of Nimrod.
It exists today. Primarily in African and muslim countries (and a strong case could be made for North Korea) - yet no noises are made (except in Christian communities, or by Missionary Groups like Voice of the Martyrs).
Being focused, and consumed on 'injustices' done in the past is a full-time job. Everyone can have a grievance - if they want to look for it.
The Bible is clear - we are all sinners in desperate need of a repentance and a Saviour.
Spending your life and energy focused on what happened in the past, or what someone's granddaddy did to their granddaddy in the past, is a monumental waste of time - and leads one away from the freedom of forgiveness and light.
Bad stuff happened in the past - don't dwell on it.
Bad stuff is happening now (e.g., slavery in the Sudan) - can you help?
Bad stuff will happen in the future - be ready to act as God will have you act (with forgiveness, compassion, justice).
He’ll say he’s opposed to reparations (but he won’t veto a reparations bill when it lands on his desk).
He hasn’t thrown God under the bus . . . . yet.
Yes, if that is a proven fact, it can be t he entre’ to asking the reparation question and a follow-up as to why his pastor made it.
