I know that politics will never be with out politicin', but this brother is suppose to be about changing the system. I for one am sick and tired of brothers and sisters bowing to "main stream America". I would have donated to the campaign if he had came out to say... " why isn't Jon McCcain here answering questions about Rev. Hagee?".Not So Old Soldierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827298555439461765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-89291373144930275082008-04-30T14:33:00.000-05:002008-04-30T14:33:00.000-05:00A curious factoid was pointed out yesterday.

One of Wright's speaking engagments was directed by a Hillary Clinton supporter.<BR/><BR/>I've been burnt out on this for quite some time, and won't be dealing with it until the nominee is selected. I will say that Obama is damned if he do and damned if he don't.Breezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487826139719603042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-89031698456169388282008-04-30T06:58:00.000-05:002008-04-30T06:58:00.000-05:00They had Obama's denial and denouncement of Wright...They had Obama's denial and denouncement of Wright all over CNN at the Mickey D's yesterday. It is absolutely disgusting that this country professes to be keeping church and state separate, yet candidates will still be raked over the coals for their religious persuasions.<BR/><BR/>You raise many, many other important points, Cliff, and I'm damn glad you're doing it. I'm gonna bring a universal remote the next time I head to McDonald's and switch their tube from CNN to something like Animal Planet. It would certainly make much more sense in this current political climate to do so.

The stuff you bring up on the individual and generational levels makes so much sense, and hits closer to home than some sociological theory of race. <BR/><BR/>On a more immediate level, I'm SOOOOO fed up with this garbage! I feel you; I don't even want to discuss it. But then I hear this voice in my head saying, we can't get tired now.E.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03991132355619070842noreply@blogger.com
