our country is acting like an abusive husband; it was never good; I remember the shootings at Kent University because of peaceful protesters; same thing happened only the POLICE beat folks with batons in NYC who were walking for the monks in Tibet; camera phone captured it; was posted on http://www.blacklistednews.com (or blacklistedmedia.com); and the reported wondered why it wasn’t all over the news: REASON: media consolidation to the Mega Corp’s & wealthy who are NOT showing it; states are segmented; same reason you are NOT seeing the truckers rally’s; it was bad & it is getting worse & worse; when you have bad Gov who confers with Gov’s it is going to get very very bad;

Mr. Profit embracing Mr Prophet.

I myself was married to a man who was extremely abusive; before marrying him he was extremely nice, polite, a gentleman: 3 days after being married I was hit for the 1st time; I was shocked; and THOUGHT what do I do now? REMEMBER: I had a religious upbringing! I thought: WHAT would my family & others THINK if I got divorced? or had an annulment after 3 days? “we” were told you stayed WITH a man irregardless of what was done/said/ because odds are YOU instigated it or is you had NOT done whatever it was you DID to deserve it you would not have been hit. So, I stayed. And it got progessively WORSE. Folks: it NEVER gets any better once a man or a country has treated you badly. THIS nation is a rogue, out of control nation, who has PASSED THE LINE; the ONLY thing that will make it better is for a complete change. THEY know this & have their agenda & it is NOT good for the citizens, nor the country (as a land) or the other people of the world. Change is in the wind: lets grab hold of it & make GOOD changes! NOT their beyond horrible plans for us. THIS is what I am saying: WHERE ARE THE MEN & WOMEN of GOD and why are they NOT listening to what the Spirit of God is SAYING? To EVERYTHING there is a season folks: to the wise: USE the weapons of your warfare: quote: I saw evil spreading like a bay tree: I looked again, and IT WAS GONE! And understand the EVIL that you see spreading is the Gov & the political parties, the Pentagon, and THEIR evilness: trying for global dominion (Corps & wealthy) together to bring all countries into enslavement; the weapons of our warfare are NOT CARNAL but MIGHTY thru God to the TEARING DOWN of strongholds; DO what you were PUT HERE for such a time as this to DO!

I found this out & KNOW the dates cuz twas when my mother was carrying me. I asked my grandpa 30 years ago or so WHY our country treated it’s own people so badly when we were “supposed” to be a “democracy”; we are told it is “democracy” which is what WE are supposedly or communism which is what Russia, China etc were/are; THAT is when my grandpa told me; he was a God fearing man, had been a minister, then worked with young men/women; he was the most HONEST and HUMBLE person I have ever known; being to many churchs, denominations, hearing folks preach & what they say: folks: ministers are PEOPLE, too; they can make mistakes; much of what is said comes from the HEAD and not the Spirit of God; and THEIR understanding of things; remember: Bush “claimed” God had told him to attack Iraq; it was an out & out LIE; people want to THINK that their country is “blessed”; it is NOT; it CANNOT BE because everything about it is oppression, deception, lies, manipulation; it is NOT benevolent at all; instead of “assuming” or believing the LIES find out for yourselves;

folks: every other country KNOWS the TRUTH: aids was indeed created by the USA Gov & sent to Africa with the polio vaccines in 1950’s for population control; OTHER countries know the TRUTH of 911; & other things about our country that it would behoove ALL of us to remove our “rosy” glasses about our country and CHANGE OUR THINKING from the political brainwashing our nation is so fond of doing; in reality: the TRUTH of the matter is NOT that “God has blessed America” cuz we are so “good” benevolent; blah blah blah; the REAL HONEST TO GOD truth: is that God was going to allow the USA to be destroyed during the middle of 1949 to the middle of 1950; HIS people THINKING it would be BETTER for THEIR children & grandkids fasted, prayed, humbled themselves and INTERCEEDED for the USA; God said the REASON was He had seen the people born, their dreams, and their lives and this was NOT what HE PLANNED for THEM when HE led them to this land; He reluctantly allowed the USA to continue: but did say:” it will get bad; BTW, all men/women involved repented before God & His people for staying His hand; YEARS ago;

Purple Girl,

Rev Wright was RIGHT!!!
AIDS was ignored until it hit the white heterosexual community.
——————————-

That isn’t what the Reverend said. He said that the government CREATED AIDES for the purpose of undermining blacks. He justified saying that by citing the horrible government STD study that was done where American men were left to suffer unwarned so the government could collect information on how STD’s afflict and kill.

That STD study was a horror. That the government ignored AIDS until it emerged in favored population is a horror.  Both of those two things did happen.

But there is no evidence to suggest that the government created AIDES for the purpose of afflicting blacks.  It is just plain nuts to believe such a thing in the total absence of any evidence and in light of the considerable facts we do know about the emergence of that plague.

We shouldn’t go around self-blinding ourselves. We should keep our eyes open or we’ll end up being just as destructive as Rush Limbaugh—who also shoehorns every fact into his ideological predisposition.

We shouldn’t go around believing things for which we can offer no basis in fact. What are we? A people who are guided by fantasy rather than reason?

rowman:

Obama condoned the half-disenfranchisment of millions of his fellow party members. He later condoned their total disenfranchisement. He agreed to slight a whole swing state full of his party members holding a primary. Then, he used his own non-campaigning as a rationale for not counting the primary votes—“it wasn’t fair to count votes he hadn’t campaigned for,” he said. Finally, he offered to count the millions of votes if he could say how they were cast—he called it “an acceptable formula.”

What is it about the man that doesn’t just shout that he’s not a political manipulator, that he’s different from all the other political manipulators, that he can and will change the way politics is done?

“He’s a “new kind of politician.” Can’t you see it?”

No, I can’t. In fact, I have been asking his supporters for months and no one can answer the question. Please enlighten me with this secret info you have.

I would like to know what he is going to “change” and how he plans to do it.

Here is how he changed Kenya:

During his first visit to Kenya as a U.S. Senator in 2006, Obama openly campaigned for Odinga, to the point where Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua accused Obama of meddling inappropriately in Kenyan presidential politics. Mutua charged during a television news video that Obama had become a “stooge” to Odinga during the Kenyan presidential election campaign. Obama’s father belonged to the same Luo tribe as Odinga.
Odinga and Obama charged he was denied winning the presidency by voter fraud. This claim led to widespread fighting that killed more than 1,000 people in the weeks after the election, leaving more than 350,000 Kenyans displaced. While proving involvement is difficult, many in Kenya assumed the post-election violence was supported, if not organized, behind the scenes by Odinga and his Orange Democratic Movement party .In a horrifying incident following the election, at least 50 people, including women and children, were killed when an angry mob forced Kikuyu Christians into an Assemblies of God Pentecostal church and set fire to the church, hacking with machetes any of the Christians who tried to escape the flames.
Christian missionaries report over 300 Christian churches were severely damaged or destroyed in the violence that swept the country, but mosques were left undisturbed.Another horrific report came from the Telegram in London, reporting the wave of post-election violence involved members of President Kibaki’s Kikuyu tribe being attacked in Nairobi slums by ethnic groups including gangs of Luo tribe youth and men who were engaging in gang rapes of women and sodomizing boys as young as five years of age.The Telegraph reported the vast majority of the victims were assaulted in their homes and all had been targeted because of their Kikuyu tribe membership.Mobs slashed their way into homes, attacking everyone they found with machetes and clubs. Youths raped women in front of their husbands and many wives were then dragged from their homes and killed.
In the final days of the New Hampshire Democratic Party primary, after the post-election violence in Kenya, Obama told reporters he had telephoned Raila Odinga by telephone.Obama sided with Odinga, indicating Odinga was willing to meet with Kibaki.
“Obviously he [Odinga] believes that the votes were not tallied properly,” Obama told reporters, almost as if he were running for election in Kenya. “But what I urged was that all the leaders there, regardless of their position on the election, tell their supporters to stand down, to desist with the violence and resolve it in a peaceful way with Kenyan laws.“Reporters asked if Obama had telephoned Kenyan President Kibaki.“I have not spoken to President Kibaki as yet,” the senator answered, “but I hope to get in touch with him some time soon.

Rev Wright was RIGHT!!!
AIDS was ignored until it hit the white heterosexual community. Now knowing what we do about the Militarys’ inability to maintain Anthrax from their own labs and the ability to avoid Protocol in such biologicals handling and inventory…His claim does not seem all that far fetched now does it?
And with recent revealations about the psuedo run up to war with Iraq- an OIL seizing venture- The owners of those ‘chickens’ can be clearly identified. those corps who fly OUR flag ourside their M.E. head quarters- who got the red carpet rolled out for them by the same ‘royals’ who oppress their own people- good to have US as their scapegoats for any ‘uprising’ or ‘rebellion’
And then there is the snake Oil Dealer Hagee (parsley, dobson etc etc) who have been more than happy to spew their religious hate to vindicate the Oil corps goals, and Pretend they are ‘Friends of Israel’ to seal the deal. Hagee, only supports Israel as a means to an end- start a War with Oil counties (Iran). he hates the Jews, but he need to appear to befriend them to complete the facade.
Funny how he never mentions the fact that ‘God will only Rapture 144,000 Jews who have convert to christianity (Hagee’s form)
The most disgusting of them all is LIEberman, same kind of traitor to his people as those in Nazi Germany who helped identify other Jews to save their own asses.LIEberman even had the audacity to equate Hagee with Moses?? Tell you how sacred Moses is to this Deceiver.Funny how Joey boy doesn’t give a shit what will happen to those jews LIVING in Israel after the ‘Pre-emptive strike on Iran’- by the Iranians or any of their Allies (russia, china )
Anyone who has not figured out -seen the entire sermon- that Wright was daming America Inc, and NOT AmericaNs, needs to find out what the context was-not just watch the mouth piece medias gov’t issued Clips.
Rev Wright would have gotten this Ol’ ‘Atheist’ back in the pew!

rowman

You are so cynical. Just because he raised $340 million or so doesn’t mean Obama is selling his political fanny all over the same boulevard as the other poltical whores.  He’s a “new kind of politician.” Can’t you see it?

Why shouldn’t the Reverend strike while the iron is hot? The publics interest in him will not be bankable after Obama is off the scene. That could come as soon as early November.

But I’m being unfair—“bankable” may be a concern of his publishers, but given his history, Wright is more likely concerned with having people understand his liberation theology. The man is a Christian. At the beginning of his ministry, some of his prospective flock were referring to Christianity as a “white man’s religion.”

That he and time have contrived to draw many toward his positive view of the world is a fortunate development. Many would do well to listen to or read the man rather than accept that he fits in the box that other people have made for him. I find the man very attractive, colorful and thoughtful.

I don’t share Wrights religious faiths. I find a few of his social utterances unsupportable, but damn that I don’t wish he’d have been my childhood pastor rather than that ponderous old white guy who kept us all awake by making us stand up and sit down all the time.

Oh dear, what has happened to the knight on the white horse?

This week, many of Barack Obama’s admirers were shocked. Up to now, it had been believed that the huge sums of money flowing into the coffers of his campaign came from anonymous citizens, each sending a check for 100 or 200 dollars.

Now, alas, it has been disclosed that a large part of those millions actually came from big donors - the very same huge corporations, their CEOs and lobbyists, who have corrupted the democratic process in previous contests. They spread their largesse generously and simultaneously among all the candidates from left to right, so as to be on the winning side whatever happens.

Obama had promised to put an end to the old, dirty corporate funding-for-influence system. Now it appears that he participates in this corrupt system himself.

What a disappointment.

Anyone care to provide the list of “what” he exactly plans to change? Looking like the same ol stuff to me
