We'll agree to disagree, but, as I noted, I disagree with any ethnic separatists, Bob, no matter what color they are. Accepted as offered.

A couple of the folks are involved in the subject of this thread, a running argument that has been going on for the last few days. For my part, I couldn't hold my tongie either, and tried to argue back, but as I said it got out of hand... Two of the identities you mentioned are the same person, who also stole JeffG's name as well for part of this comment thread. I regret losing my composure, and your difficulty in reading this thread. All the best Greetings Neshobanakni,

Apparently this whole thread exists in the imagination of one person calling itself Ann R/Timb/JeffG/ Thor/ Who the hell knows. Can't make heads or tails of of this and don't know why Dan puts up with it. This place is such a mess it's a waste of time. Is this blog not worth the effort to prevent a vandal from ruining it?

But, perhaps you'd like to compare the actual sermon, which on how God judges nations for their sins, and notes the foreign policy "crimes" (albeit from a Chomsky-ite perspective) of America. From there he uses the Old Testament to note God will judge America and God will damn America. I don't agree with him, but I also can't believe so many smart people (Mike excluded...he just ain't smart) can't listen to what Wright INTENDED to say and not want the RNC and Sean Hannity wanted you to believe. Ah, intentionalism....good enough for a racist like RSM but not good enough for a Marine veteran and preacher. Guess that gives new meaning to oxes and goring.
