I don't say God Bless America I say God Damn America

[Bandit]

for all the deaths and misery it has caused in Iraq and other places around the world. Those are not the deeds to be blessed by a caring God...

[Fredda Weinberg]

1. I'm not glad you're not running for president. I wouldn't vote for you n/t

[Bandit]

4. With all those negatives I'm not sure what you are saying but

I am not asking for anyone's vote and neither was Reverend Wright. I am making a statement about this country that tortures and kills indiscriminately.

[madmom]

2. Why would a "caring" god let any of this shit happen?.. Oh I forgot free will !

[stillrockin]

10. And we have allowed our country to sink into this moral sinkhole.

[chelsea0011]

3. So you think we can do better?

Why do you hate America?:sarcasm:

[LaurenG]

5. I think it's too late we have been damned since 2000

let's get a president with a warm beating heart in the White House so we can be blessed again.

[billybob537]

6. To think a just and caring God

would allow murder and mayhem to be blessed is the hight of hypocrisy.

[stellanoir]

7. I don't really think there is an individual or a nation

that is not worthy of both blessings and periodic condemnation to some degree.

[DrDan]

8. lets put the blame where it belongs

God Damn bush, cheney, rumsfeld and the rest of the chickenhawks

God Damn limbaugh, hannity, boorz and the rest of the missionaries of doom

God Damn the GOP voters for being sucked in to this morass of ecomomic and social doom

[Thepricebreaker]

9. Well im happy your not running for President.. n/t

[Bandit]

11. Oh did I hurt your delicate sensitivities

You can defend these actions?? God would approve you believe? I am glad my God is a whole lot different than yours...

[KG]

12. of course, this assumes there is a god to bless or damn.

which is a foolish notion unto itself.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. ...

:thumbsup:

[Lint Head]

13. The fascist criminals in the White House have already damned

America. It's a never ending hell as long as we allow republican fascists of any stripe to be in office. :dem:

[robcon]

14. This is why Obama may lose the election.

Refusing to call the hate-monger Wright by his appropriate title.

Refusing to distance Obama or his supporters from the racism Wright spews.

There are too many instances of Obama supporters who repeat the racism and anti-American venom. They defend it... like you, Bandit.

[LaurenG]

15. Wright is not a hate monger and I am no racist

Refusing to see what's there for you to see is a form of denial.

Are you happy with the way this country has treated AA's? How about it's foreign policy, are you good with that? There are thousands of minutes that he has spoken and out of that you are judging him on this.

How about trying to walk awhile in other peoples shoes rather than label them.

[Traction311]

20. He did call Italians "garlic noses" last year

That's pretty hateful, no? I have the link if you request it.

[LaurenG]

23. He shouldn't have said that. I did hear it and I think he was wrong to say it

I think he's a good man, human and with more work to do, but overall a good man.

[EFerrari]

27. No, he was talking about ancient Romans whom my catechism teacher

told me for sure were buring in hell. lol

25. I see this as a purely point of view situation.

I absolutely know people who say 'god damn america'. It doesn't bother me because it is no more rational than 'god bless america'.

[madmom]

28. How about keeping god and religion OUT of politics all together!

[Bright Eyes]

29. Ah, the "Anti-American" meme.

Never gets old, does it?

[Rosemary2205]

16. Contrary to popular belief

The world would not be a utopia if America never existed. Humans would find another way to oppress each other.

[El Pinko]

17. I propose a third alternative - God Save America...

...from our own corruption, complacency, ignorance and hubris.

[IowaGirl]

18. How about God Save America from seriously corrupt and wacko......

politicians? :patriot:

[DailyGrind51]

19. Wright on, Bandit!

REAL terror is having a stroke the day after your COBRA coverage expires! More Americans die from cancer, heart disease, or diabetes in one year than have been killed in acts of terror in 50 years (and I include domestic terror, like that perpetrated by the KKK). Yet, we have a mind-set in this country believing that the "free" market is the panacea for everything, including health-care. Permitting the free-market to govern the allocation of essential services, like energy and health-care, is analogous to letting a lynch mob govern our justice system -- innocent people die.
