    Many church leaders from across the nation and world support Rev. Wright. One of those that support him is Hillary Clinton's pastor. In case you missed it one of the greatest evangelist of our times Rev. Graham had the ear of about three presidents. The religious right has been one of the leading forces in politics the last 15 years.

    It is so silly to say that your church preaches only about God. You cannot preach about God and not relate it to how you treat people. There is no relationship with God without love toward your fellow person. In the book of James the question is asked "how can you love a God you can't see and hate your brother who you can see." Paul says if you take communion but have a problem with your neighbor you are bringing condemnation on the whole body. Jesus says what you have done unto the least of these you have done unto me. He also said The firs commandment is to love God and the second is like unto it love thy neighbor as thyself on these to commands hang all the laws and the prophets. So a preacher who does not talk about the way the government is working, or things that divide people, the poor, abortion and abortion rights, sex,health,teh enviroment, and a host of other issues is not preaching the word of God because the are these issues effect us all. Understand most of the sins we all commit are not in vaccum they are against someone. This is why so many religious leaders leaders across the board said the exact same thing that Rev. Wright said. That America's exported violence came home to roost.

    But in fact I take it you did not even listen to all of Rev. Wright's sermon because the main premise was not against whites or the country but who do you put your trust in. He said you have to put your trust in God.

    I can see and hear the Salon staff of writters laughing their heads off. I can see one of their writers writting an outrageous article that white men are not going to vote for this white women because they think she will choose him as a vice-president and they they might have sex. Isn't that the biggest fear of white sexist men? I know that sounds crazy but so have been many of the articles written by some of the Salon writters.

    The so called liberal media is doing everything it can to divide people. Division like sex sells.

    The writers of Salon know that Hillary's electablity is dead. She is not going to win. They just have cash cow in divisive journalism.

  • Where did the money come from

    Barack raised 90 million dollars in two months from small donations. Tell me were those from rich people are from working people.

    I guess it must have been losts of rich white sexist farmers in Iowa and Kansas that voted for Obama. Oh, how about all those rich sexist blacks that voted for him S.C. Damn did you see all those rich sexist Hispanics that came out to the caucus in Texas that helped him win the most delgates there?

    I guess there are less rich ,sexist and racist in California and Ohio. Most of racist, sexist and elitist voters are in those small states. The media keeps trying to convince Americans that he is not winning hard working everyday people. Where is all the money coming from? The answer is hard working everyday people.

    This is the craziness of the Hillary campaign and her supporters. They campaign against "HOPE" "INSPRIRATION" and they call Obama's supporters dumb because in their minds the only reason we voted for him is because he is black or that we ar sexist. WOW! That is a winnng campaign.

    Barack is winning across the board. His 50 state plan is going to bring in more popular and eletoral votes in the general. Even one McCain's own people said if (when) Barack beats Hillary he will have to step down from the campaign because he cannot run aginst Barack.

    it in America was about race. It started out about money but when the church sanctioned the slavery of blacks and Indians because they did not have souls it was followed but the government sanction of seprate but equal.

    There were laws that were called "Black Laws" or Jim Crow laws. But the real deal is this blacks and whites are going to vote for Barack because while we still see color we see more of the "content of his charecter" in this man.

    That is why we are voting and financially supporting his campaign.

  • Kansas has woman Governor

    But the state voted overwhelmingly for Obama. Gov. Sibilius is a fighter,smart, and straight shooting woman but the way she fights is by knowing the issues. Hilary and Bill while they know the issues also have to dish the dirt.

    People are tired of that. It has nothing to do with her sex.
