Thanks for the bump as always, Mercuria. You seem to have my back, and for that I am grateful.

But you know, I have a hard time with people labeling Rev. Peterson as a civil rights leader. The man is phenomenal. He is a man who speaks truth to power. Now, this will be a shock, but I loathe the term civil rights leader since it is a leftist term (IMHO). Yet I just used a leftist term to describe him.

Go figure.

He is not to be likened to a Jack$on, Sharpton, or Mfume. Let them have the leader mantra. He stands alone, and I can fully empathize with him on that.

Great point about Rev. Peterson. I don't like to hear him spoken of as a civil rights leader. It puts him in a category that he really isn't in. He's just a good man, speaking the truth. He's not even 'just a good man'. He's a man of God, a rarity in these times. He just loves God! And the truth! And it shows!!
