I think he probably just isn't a religous man. He just went through the motions and showed up to church each week, because hes 'supposed' to. He probably never changed churches because it was to much trouble to bother finding a new one, and he probably never listened to the person anyway. |

Yes. There are plenty of nice harmless churches around that focus on community service and stuff like that. Especially if you're a politician, why join a church that has an anti-American megalomaniac as a pastor and racist core tenets? Unless you feel positive about it... |

Yeah, for real. |

You are dreaming right now.
Who said he had a major problem with anti-americanism? Thats just political stuff. He probably went there for appearance sake, and didn't give a damn what the preacher said, one way or the other. If hes anti american, what does obama care? |

Then that just expands on he's a dumbass. |

Again, certain people in the government did bad things in the past. I said that is true. I have Indian ancestors who really got screwed. That does not mean the country itself did it. I sure as Hell didn't do it. Nobody I know did. He talks as though the country is one mind that owned slaves and screwed over Indians and is still the same mind. It is an illogical perspective. That is why his bizarre kharmic connection between Hiroshima and 9/11 victims was irrational and hateful against the country itself. |

Yeah, I have to agree there. Countries don't do things, individuals do. It's funny when in the interviews pastor Wright doesn't understand the fallacy with which he is looking at social groups as a whole. He's like "[No, it's not racist that our blacks-only church is exclusively for the good of black people, black family, black education, black Christianity. Don't you know anything about black theology? Don't you know that Christianity originated among blacks in Africa, blablabla. The only reason we have to do this is because the whole society is based on white supremacy and black oppression, blablabla]". Then he doesn't get that individuals aren't responsible for the actions of individuals who happened to live within the same geographical borders some previous time. He's a goddamn collectivist, I HATE collectivists. I'd really like to know what percentage level of blackness you need to have to be admitted to that racist whorehouse. |

That is exactly my problem with him. He takes groups of people who have nothing to do with each other except race, nationality, etc. and treats them as a single team in which all of the team members are accountable for the actions of all of the other members. That is precisely the mentality at the root of racism, anti-nationalism, and all kinds of other terrible things. People who do not understand the concept of individuality are dangerous. |

He wasn't saying he was black and that America screwed him over, he is pointing out fallacies the country has made, and that it continues to make mistakes. How can you judge a person based on 2 sentences he made on a speech? And to go further than that and judge a person on a couple sentences his preacher made. It is nonsensical. Read the 500 word speech he made. |
|
I didn't say he said he was black and America screwed him over. I was saying that such a point would come from the same mentality he has. He speaks in major generalizations. He does it in a manner that is illogical and shows nationalist hatred. Did you read what I wrote about the congregation's reaction to his more than two sentences? Did you read what I wrote about the congregation's reaction to what Pfleger said in far more than two sentences? Did you see my question about whether it is a coincidence that the congregation just happened to reveal itself to think that way too? Did you see what I said about how that situation proves that Obama was going to an extremist church and had to have known it? |

Surely a president, if it's anything like the UK, has a whole team of politicians to help him write new policies. He may say, " I want to lower taxes and help the poor!", but it is his team of highly skilled politicians, lawyers etc who make the policy, i mean ok he has his input but it's not like Obama or McCain just sit down and write a new policy and bam it's law. What i mean is surely no matter who wins when they make a dumb policy and their is public outrage they will have to change the policy because they don't want to lose the next election, just like in England Gordon Brown reversed the 10p tax rate because all the working class people were pissed off and he fears losing their vote. Of course then he was called weak for doing that |

Lugggs and cuddles and hugs for all!!
Answer me one question. Has Obama shown any extremist traits? There is proof he went to an extremist church, but no proof he is extremist. How are you going to prefer McCain? No education past high school, extremely poor on public speaking, and almost unchanged political policies as George W. Bush. He admits he doesn't know much about economics, he contradicts himself over, and over. |

No, I said nothing about guilt. That is a variable you introduced into this. It is relevant because Hamas likes specifically Obama's Middle East and terrorism ideas. Middle Eastern terrorists like Obama's Middle Eastern terrorism handling ideas. Specifically, they want to see us weaker. Obama is the man for that, which is a problem. |
