Jude 2

Of course they are projecting Obama has won. But the folks crying over it is just to much!!!

PLUS they are rejoicing over it as a racial win - "forget his politics we elected a black man aren't we wonderful." They are even quoting MLK jr. as a prophet, indeed Moses, and Obama his Joshua.

Does racism run so deep in this country that such a motivation is the main reason for the election of Obama?



If it is the case, and this nut has been elected President, then this country is full of nuts, & my desire for secession has found revitalization.

I can understand why some would cry, especially AAs. Tonight is a big night historically speaking. Some might finally see we are no longer living in the 50s and 60s.

True enough -- we will never have to hear another whining loser say "America is a RACIST nation."

I had not though of it in that light.

I don't understand why anyone would cry. What about all the white families persecuted as well. I never heard my family bellyache that anyone held them back to succeed because they were discriminated against in the north. They left their home in KY to find work in Michigan. They couldn't find anyone to rent to them because they were dirty hillbillies. I do know one thing, like PG said, I don't want to hear whinning about racism.

Okay, yes. I can see that. I think it is a hallmark, historic happeneing, and a positive one. But when coupled with everything else it just came across as "hysteria" of a sorts. And some of them crying were not black.


P.S. While typing this Senator McCain has conceded.

They chose the color of the skin over the character of the man and their own morals. This is not living the "Dream."

AMEN!
You have very succiently articulated what I was trying so hard to.

I would that they not mar the name and legacy of MLK jr. or the Civil Rights movement. I believe MLK jr. would march against the idiocy carried on in his name and the name of the cause he gave his life for by his own people today.

I don't understand this opinion of the man. I don't get it. It saddens me. What is so despicable about his character? Is it, too, reduced to the issue of abortion? What is it that so sours the hearts of the Jude2 faithful about him?

Tho he did do some good, he was no angel. I lived thru those times. I know some of his followers and would not trust them no father then I could throw their cars. I remain friends with them, but keep an eye on them.

You tell us,please,what is so good about the man.Have you heard so much more about him than we have,or are we just not understanding.

It is more than abortion, Tim; the whole redistributionist, Socialism-lite, issue is huge for many people. As for character, he hasn't shown much yet to judge. Are we to judge his lackluster younger years when he admits he used recreational drugs? That signals a flawed character to many people. How about his support for his rather controversial Pastor/mentor, and then his throwing him under the bus for political expediency? Should we applaud his character for his support of Wright or for his political savvy in distancing himself?

The "his-birth-certificate-was-faked" email whisper campaign was idiotic i my view, but Obama fed it with the shroud of mystery and secrecy he enforced... his life, and his Thesis, should be open to examination. It has not been.

No Tim, for me it doesn't come down to the abortion issue, it comes down to the fact that we have worked hard to get where we are, now are we going to have to "spread the wealth" to those who don't want to spend the time and effort to earn it? I don't think so.

How about medical insurance? HMO's are bad enough but to have the government step in and tell us who, when and how. No thank you.

I have family who has served in the military, in Iraq and at home. I do not have confidence in Obama that he will support our troops the way McCain would have. He has not proved that with his background.

My husband and son both work in the defense industry.....enough said.

And last....he scares me. The way people idolize him, scares me.

And this is just a little of what concerns/bothers me about the man.
