Thank-you for your thoughtful questions. I too am far more concerned with how a politician's vote reflects "loving your enemies" or "caring for the least of these". Might the least of these be the 47 million Americans without health insurance AND also include caring for undcocumented workers? Does "love you neighbor as thyself" stop at our borders? What IS the character of our country as reflected in our domestic and foreign policy. I call for less fervor and more focus on the "common good" and
justice for all.

Nutcases are out in full.

JJ,

Debbie Schlussel is a right wing nut job who also said the following:

"Right-wing pundit Debbie Schlussel on Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL): So, even if he identifies strongly as a Christian ... is a man who Muslims think is a Muslim, who feels some sort of psychological need to prove himself to his absent Muslim father, and who is now moving in the direction of his father's heritage, a man we want as President when we are fighting the war of our lives against Islam? Where will his loyalties be?" "

None of that crap is true!

U.S. President Bush and the NAACP
During the 2000 U.S. presidential campaign, the NAACP's National Voter Fund ran a television ad against then Texas Governor and Republican Party nominee George W. Bush.

The ad featured the daughter of James Byrd, a black man dragged to death by three white men in a pickup truck, blaming Bush for refusing her pleas for a hate-crime law when he was Texas governor.

The ad also depicted a truck with chains dragging behind it, and was criticized by some for trying to connect Bush with the lynching.

In 2004, President George W. Bush (2001—) became the first sitting U.S. president since Herbert Hoover (1929–1933) not to address the NAACP when he declined an invitation to speak.[6] The White House originally said the president had a scheduling conflict with the NAACP convention,[7] slated for July 10-15, 2004. On July 10, 2004, however, Bush's spokesperson said that Bush had declined the invitation to speak to the NAACP because of harsh statements about him by its leaders.[7] In an interview, Bush said, "I would describe my relationship with the current leadership as basically nonexistent. You've heard the rhetoric and the names they've called me."[7] Bush also mentioned his admiration for some members of the NAACP and said he would seek to work with them "in other ways."[7]

On July 20, 2006, after having declined the civil rights group's invitations for five years, Bush addressed the NAACP convention, making a bid for increasing support at the polls for Republicans by African Americans, in the midst of a heated midterm election.[8]

NAACP and Tax Exempt Status
The Internal Revenue Service informed the NAACP in October 2004 that it was undertaking an investigation into its tax-exempt status based on Julian Bond's speech at its 2004 Convention in which he criticized President George W. Bush as well as other political figures.[9][10] In general, the US Internal Revenue Code prohibits those organizations granted tax-exempt status from "directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office."[11] The NAACP has denounced the investigation as retaliation for its involvement in increasing the number of African Americans who vote.[9][12] In September 2006, the investigation concluded with the IRS finding "that the remarks did not violate the group's tax-exempt status."[13]

Separatism & Segregation
In an interview on NBC's Meet the Press, Louis Farrakhan was asked by Tim Russert to explain the Nation of Islam's view on separation:

"Tim Russert: Once a week, on the back page [of your newspaper] is The Muslim Program, "What the Muslims Want," [written in 1965]. The first is in terms of territory, "Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white America justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own." Is that your view in 1997, a separate state for Black Americans?"

"Minister Louis Farrakhan: First, the program starts with number one. That is number four. The first part of that program is that we want freedom, a full and complete freedom. The second is, we want justice. We want equal justice under the law, and we want justice applied equally to all, regardless of race or class or color. And the third is that we want equality. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. If we can get that within the political, economic, social system of America, there's no need for point number four. But if we cannot get along in peace after giving America 400 years of our service and sweat and labor, then, of course, separation would be the solution to our race problem." [7]

February 5, 2008 – Syndicated columnist Debbie Schlussel broke a story on January 30, on Senator Barack Obama’s close ties with the Nation of Islam (NOI), headed by black racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.

Schlussel interviewed a former Obama insider on the condition of anonymity and learned that contrary to Obama’s recent statements distancing himself from Farrakhan and his anti-Jewish views, the Senator actually has staff members who are NOI members.

According to Schlussel, “… a former Obama insider says that Obama’s sudden aversion to NOI and Farrakhan is belied by the fact that Obama employed and continues to employ several Farrakhan acolytes in high positions on his Illinois and U.S. Senate campaign and office staffs.”

SHAMe SHAMe stupid Whit Woman!

You nailed it. Politicians can't serve two masters so they go with the one that gets them elected. Then they can server themselves.

God involved? But of course, God helps those who help themselves -to all they can get their hands on. And when they get caught...they "stonewall it."

http://www.hoax-buster.org/sellyoursoul is the template for politicians going back over three thousand years. The big money comes to those who sell their souls to Lucifer and thereby get the job of leading the multitudes to hell.

If we hurry Obama will get elected before we get to hell and he gets shut out -no place to lead all the Devil worshipers -already there. Maybe we should skip the preliminaries and just crown him?
