As Usual, Off On a Tangent You Go!
I don't think the reaction to the Jeremiah Wright videos was about patriotism, Gary. It was a mixture of anger and disgust. For me, patriotism wasn't even there.
Guys like Wright use God to prop themselves up, give them wealth and status, and then power. They use that power, not to save lives, but to condemn those who are "not like us." They misuse their IRS tax-exemption and their positions to spread their poison and hatred.
Barack Obama needed to leave that church after he heard his spiritual leader say other damning and inaccurate things and find another one that didn't. I guess Mr. Harvard Educated Thang and his wife figured that it was okay for their kids to be around all this because, well, they were special and above-it-all anyway. Typical of people who pick their fights because they have other, more grandiose ambitions, they said and did nothing. Now, Mr. I-Got-The-Judgment wants us to believe that he does.
Sorry, dude, but if you don't know enough to leave a church when it preaches hatred, then you don't know enough to be Commander-in-Chief. Patriotism? Hardly.
