Media's Glare Off Focus, Again

The black churches I have attended and the black pastors I know are the antithesis of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but they are never interviewed on TV which prefers rhetorical bomb throwers.

So you're saying than that the only way to fight injustice is to tell lies? Lies that heap injustice upon injustice as if you could create justice by piling up enough injustice.

How horribly obtuse and ultimately self defeating.

"There are 1,000 of Wrights out there. It is how Black people cope with sustained injustice. "

What an absolute waste of time, too.

Austria Salzburg, the City of Salz, may be interpreted as City of Elders (salts). salt is the dried sea water. as it is in the Bible, Euphrates shall be dried with the sixth bottle of Mary. so there should be saints masters and healthy people with the gold in the bank of the flowing water, the spine.

i was in Bursa with St Nicholas and St Thomas the Twin of Jesus, now i am in Didyma for St John and St Thomas the Twin, on the golden sand where turtles had been in water for the first time.

i shall travel in order to write about Aphrodite and Shell with Pearl, and Her Left Foot on the Turtle. and i shall explain Apostels and Signs. coffee with milk from Milkyway and wisdom shall be in too, on the table after the meal. i love speakers with milk-coffee skin colour, with the whitest teeth.

am i wrong? i have better talk to Swedish Norwegians for more of the wisdom.

i am in the Land of Medusa and Apollon, in Didyma Aydin Anadolu, studying sixth bottle of Mary in Mageddo and hypophysis gland. may i ask Nikolas Sarkozy where the capital of Zeus and Europe is?

Paganplace:

You know, Doug, that's my thought, too.

I'll admit that a lot of 'black' storefront churches out there don't exactly radiate friendly to someone like me, but I'm utterly disgusted with the media for playing to all these fears and non-substantive things, in such a critical time in American history.

This is not what our democracy is *for.*

If the free market's so great, many in the media ought to be fired.

Doug:

Infinitely many monkeys with infinitely many typewriters given an infinite period of time to do it will eventually write something that makes sense. No one ever gets everything wrong all the time.

If I didn't think I know better I'd say Cal is an Obama supporter. The bet is he thinks McCain can beat Obama and not Clinton. But then clearly the country is headed to hell, already at the gate being led by those who have sold their souls to Lucifer. Maybe Cal is a patriot?

Doug:

* Cough * * Cough *

-- Gasp... choke... gag --

I actually agree with Cal Thomas.
