2. You'd think so, wouldn't you? |
|
But, no, he's not. If you really can't figure out why this is posted here I'll be glad to discuss it with you.

34. So let me get this straight |
|
The MSM can blather about Wright and smear his reputation before the whole world in an endless loop, and Hillary Clinton is allowed to weigh in on it as well ("He wouldn't be MY pastor!") but if he goes on the air to defend his views, he's a political opportunist.
What. The. Fuck. Ever.

6. I don't care about his video... |
|
He's not my religious leader, representative, or political candidate. Why would I care a bit about what he has to say about anything? He has no power in my and many other people's world. He'd like to be. You'd apparently would like it to be so.

Is anyone forcing you to do so?
Also, you might just hide the thread if you find it so offensive.

and we should ignore commentators, analysts, ethicists, teachers, and everyone else except those that are actually running for office?

Religion belongs in your home or church not in the public forum. It is unconstitutional.

I have a right to be here since I am a Democrat. Block me then from your eyes. I'm discussing things you don't seem to think are important living in a democracy such as separation of church and state.
Boot click.

They can have whoever they want speak. If the members want to hear from a clergy of one religious group that's up to them. Not fair to other black religious groups though (which I assume are many).

All to many like you seem to ignore it for your own self interest. Don't you believe in the Constitution and the separation clause? That's my argument.

Nothing! You don't have a clue what you are talking about. His speech is on TV being played by CNN not by the president or the congress. I hope you never think about becoming a lawyer because you would suck at it.

26. The speech belongs here because he has been thrust into the current political duologue |
|
just as many Religious figures have been both liberal and conservative. Not to mention he is addressing the NAACP which is a political group. Stop playing dumb.

We are having an election not a sermon. That's not what this site is about. Would you like to have everyone else's clergy give us a sermon too?
Our country is in crisis. We need a President to help us not a minister right now. Or at least not your minister.

Because Wright and King talk about exactly the same things.
