: Look at what McCain and Palin have turned the campaign into ... A place for racists to publicly disrespect about the man who is likely to be the leader of the free world in a few months.
Check out what MediaTakeOut.com learned is poppin' off in Ozark, Missouri:
A billboard in West Plains showing a caricature of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wearing a turban and using his middle name -- Hussein -- in quotes has sparked outrage and accusations of racism.The sign, located south of West Plains on U.S. 63 across from the Dairy Queen, says: "Barack 'Hussein' Obama equals more abortions, same sex marriages, taxes, gun regulations."
Outrage over the sign triggered West Plains resident Becky Estes to write a letter in Monday's edition of the Daily Quill newspaper saying "such a tasteless display merely reinforces the wide-spread belief that Ozarkers are ignorant country bumpkins."
"People don't like it. They're embarrassed by that sign, ashamed by that sign, horrified by that sign and outraged by that sign," Estes told the News-Leader on Thursday.
See, ignorance like that, we don't pay any mind. He's gonna have haters evrywhere WHEN he becomes president. People make fun of McCain too, so this *** doesn't even bother me as much at all.
Obama is right down the street from where I live here in Philly right this very minute, and I am so mad that I had to work today and miss him. Ugh!!!
See, Palin just had to get people all fired up and have voters show their hatred towards Obama. It made my day yesterday when I seen on the news McCain telling voters that Obama is not a terrorist, that he is a decent man.(and his own supporters booed him) Or how about that officer who was calling Obama a terrorist and was fired for campaigning in his uniform. It's really sad that they are that desperate as to create lies and sterotypes of Obama just so they can try and win this election. However, I'm not concern about who Obama met or worked with in the past, I'm concern about this economy that keeps dropping everyday, or if i'm still going to have my job next month, how am I going to eat when every week they raise the food prices up. I wish that the McCain/Palin campaign stop making this election about the mans race, background, religion etc. Can they at least explain their plans about the current crisis. They need to try something else because this tactic isn't working. I know that I want someone who is coherent and not two seconds away from alzheimers becoming President.
I like Sen. O but the billboard is funny as hell to me.
That being said,my Black people why be shocked? [EXPLETIVE] have killed and terrorized to gain and keep power around the world, since the first genetically sick Albino fell from between a Black woman's legs; like Lucifer from heaven.Political dirty tricks like this are nothing compared to what they've done throughout history. Why be shocked? Sen.Obama will win anyway ...now let's just hope the brother doesn't sell us out like many big city Black mayors in the past. Anyone from NYC remember their first Black mayor,that sambo David Dinkens? Win or lose, I'm sticking to my own individual financial plan. My future is in my hands and the almighty's and not some politician.
None-the-less .....GO OBAMA !!
This is McCain’s supporters idea of “taking the gloves off”….what they have been “clamoring for” at his rallies. It’s apparent that since they can’t let loose with the “***” word, Obama’s middle name will serve as their “code word” with its duel meaning…aka when asked just say you think he’s an Arab. Aren’t they just too cute? NOT.
Seriously this is all they have left. McCain is getting hammered on the issues; he made his age and judgment questionable with his selection of Palin. Whatever lie they continue to tell about her character and integrity is *** due to the finding that she abused her power as governor….and as for his own character…well he destroyed that with his insistence on personal attacks that have no merit.
With all of that….and things like the billboard….if John McCain actually became president, the message and statement it would send the world and this nation is truly d-a-m-ning.
OBAMA 08
WE ALSO NEED TO STOP QUOTING IT'S ABOUT US IN 08, NO IT'S ABOUT OUR COUNTRY OBAMA IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE NO JUST BLACK PEOPLE . THERE WILL ALWAYS BE RACIST PEOPLE AND THEY ARE IGORNANT UNEDUCATED FOOLS EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE HIGHEST DEGREE YOU CAN OBTAIN . LET'S GET OUT THERE AND VOTE FOR THE CHANGE THAT OBAMA IS TRYING TO GIVE THIS COUNTRY .
***, THATS REALLY MESSED UP. I GUESS THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN IS PULLING OUT THEIR BAG OF TRICKS. HONESTLY, HE LOSING AT THIS POINT, AND THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN IS DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO TRY, AGAIN, TRY TO WIN. IN MY OPINION ITS ALREADY OVER. MY B*DAY IS ON ELECTION DAY, SO I WILL HAVE 2 THINGS TO CELEBRATE. OBAMA ALL DAY BABY!!!
@boomboom123 The only reason why Mccain has changed is because he was forced to.All his tactics turn on him and he is running out of them. It was McCain and Palin that has created these monsters and its their job to undo the wrong and hurt they have caused! McCain and Palin are the two that wanted everyone to believe that Barack was a threat and that people should fear him. I was delighted in seeing him take back his actions and let his people down not beecause it was the right thing to do but because his plan failed! They are running about trying their best to detroy this man, and Oboma sits back and watches them fail. Its their fustration that has gotten them this defeat! Oboma 08 I cant wait to see him in the White house! Ps. I am tureed of Palin trying to reach out to Americans by adressing hockey moms and joe sixpacks across the nation. Guess what? I dont know any hockey moms nor joe sixpacks. I know football moms, soccor mom, basketball moms, but no hockey moms. If she was truely about all of america she would have addressed all of them not just hockey moms! I dont anyone knows a joe sixpack, black, whites, asians, or latinos,
My country tis of thee my foot!!!I knew that after the stock markets crashed that they would start getting angry at Black people. Every time they loose their jobs or food prices increase, they blame it on Black people. I read on CNN that a white [EXPLETIVE] said she knows if McCain & Duffy win, things are going to be bad but she's willing to suffer 4 more years than vote for Obama..she said she can't (which means she can't vote for a Black man)[EXPLETIVE] *** [EXPLETIVE]!!!
SMDH!!
This country is so racist it's friggin REDICULOUS. This nation doesn't even DESERVE an upstanding, respectable man like Barack. These dumb azz crakkkas would rather die, lose their jobs, be homeless and hungry than have a BLACK MAN run the country. The OLD WHITE FOLKS ARE THE WORSE!
Obama is a brave mofo to seek this office with all the adversity against him. I wasn't even born when MLK or Malcom X was killed, but Lord I pray that I don't have to witness a great brother in OUR GENERATION getting harmed due to this country's pathetic hatred, and inbred enimity against people of African descent.
I have my passport and will seriously consider getting the f*ck outta here if these idiots dare go there. PEOPLE PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS MAN. THE RACISTS ARE EVIL AND DON'T EVEN DESERVE THE HELP THAT OBAMA WANTS TO GIVE THEM!!
I heard about Missouri and Wisconsin being very much racial in their attacks agaisnt Obama to the point where McCain himself had to settle people down. I dont understand why this isnt being magnified because it is very important to know that these people are using these means. The thing about it that I said that this will show the worst of America in this process because you have people who have probably have never met a Black person in their lives and they have their prejudices. They say that they dont "trust" Obama, that he is a terrorist, one man even said that he didnt want his unborn son born into this world with Obama as president. Its sad that these people are chanting "Off with his head" like its medevil times. America is about to get knocked off its pedestal and see the worst of people before we see better. Its sad but being called an Arab/terrorist is equalivent to what being called a communist used to be. The worst thing is to be called a terrorist and without merit they're calling Obama one. I just need for this country, that people of all colors died for, to stand up and say we need to look ourselves in the mirror and stop this cycle. The cycle of racism and bigotry that their ancestors instilled in them. The same way that as Black people we are expected to denounce and disagree with Rev. Wright. Im done. Im upset. Go Obama
Now that's just SAD. Typical of the ignorant white folks. They are just intimidated that someone of color is going for the big prize.
They need to blame their great-great-grandparents for bringing our people over here if that is how they feel about us.
Typical ignorant south ***. This is why I hate living in the south. Ol' school ignorance is the worst kind.
@ boomboom123 you don't know what your friends have done in the past, or what they are capable of doing. Some of your friends could be drug addicts, rapists, or a thief. Knowing or going to school or chruch with these people doesn't mean you are just like them.
To all my brothers and sisters out there, let me give you a brief history lesson. In 1981 or 82 a black man ran for govenor of california; he was well like, well spoken, and ahead in the polls of his white counter part. He winning the election was a sure thing but just as he was about to write his speech on the day of the election;the voters turn out did a 180 of course he took the hide road in his defeat but race did play apart in tht election. The reason I am telling this story is because the ride that obama is on is high and good but on the day of the election you don't know how people are going to vote, the only thing I can tell you is on November 4, 2008 is to do your part and vote.
I'M FED UP WITH THESE ***'S THINKING OBAMA IS A ARAB.THE DUDE WAS BORN TO A BLACK MAN FROM KENYA,AND TO A WHITE WOMAN FROM WICHITA,KANSAS.WHAT,YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,GO ON A SITE CALLED WIKIPEDIA.
-------------------- Myspace.com/lentosent Myspace.com/musicbydlb
The reason i got 2 myspace page's is because i do different type of music.stop by and give me a holla sometime.Peace! oh yeah.Don't forget to vote ya'll.
Come on MTO everyday you got stuff on here talkin sideways about McCain and Palin. You obviously are an Obama supporter. But to stoop to the level of Blaming them for this sign is just "BAD" journalism. They had nothing to do with this sign. And as far as all these black folks talkin about "Them white folks being racist" read that line over again "Them White folks being racist" Like "all" white peolpe are racist. With those views whats that make you. People gonna vote just for Obama because he is black isn't that discriminating against McCain just cause he's "Old and White" Wake Up America! Get the real facts for yourself read up on both candidates, not just one side.Make sure your getting the good and bad of both, trust me they both have some good and bad.Then make an honest vote. Cause alot of the talk on here is a very ignorant way of thinking to be honest with you. I don't care who you vote for but at least do some homework before you go vote. Make up your own mind, don't let someone make it for you.Check out the rumors don't listen to just MTO, CNN,FOX,ABC,CBS or even the leftwing NBC listen to them "ALL" then double check all the info you've been given to see what is true and what is not. We *** be voting for a president like we vote for American Idol.This isn't for a singing contract this is for your future. Yours, your childrens and everybody else you care about.Knowledge is Power.
@Pinetarpimp "People gonna vote just for Obama because he is black isn't that discriminating against McCain just cause he's "Old and White" Wake Up America!" People are going to vote for McCain just because he is white. I am tired of people saying that it is not fair for blacks to vote for Barack primarily because he is black, a great amount of whites are doing it, have always been doing it, and won't stop doing it for other white presidential candidates!
@ boomboom & the rest of you Republicans
So Barack has a lot of terrorist friends, huh? Who else is he friends with? He's been associated with Bill Ayers who was NEVER convicted of the crimes from 40 years ago, even after turning himself into the FBI. Obama has not even had contact with him since 2005. Also, Ayers is a professor at the University of Chicago, but I guess the University is "palling" around with terrorists too.
What you need to be worried about is if John McCain gets in & dies, we'll have Sarah Palin who doesn't even want to be a part of the US. Did you know that she & her husband were a part of the Alaskan Separatist Party in the 90s? They wanted Alaska to gain independence from the US by any means possible. So don't come up in here talking about Obama & his "terrorist friend" when Palin doesn't even want to be a part of the US.
I don't think that the Republicans wanna go toe-to-toe w/ the Democrats when it comes to digging up dirt.
Just another example of racist, honky-[EXPLETIVE] redneck, wish they were in the Klan ignorance. I'm not going to blame McCain & Palin for this. People are going to do what they want to do and say whatever they want to say. Although I do feel that the McCain-Palin (especially Palin) Campaign have incited more anger & instigated the situation of fear and hatred of Obama, this ignorant feeling has been felt by these fools since day 1 before McCain & Palin stepped onto the scene.
Man, just imagine what'll happen, if Obama actually becomes president. He'll have to wear a *** vest 24/7 like 50 Cent. Martin Luther King wasn't even president and he got popped. A Black man's power is a white man's WORST ***. As long as we pick their cotton, everything is cool... FORGET THESE [EXPLETIVE]. I'm going to pick my own cotton!
I know that we done need any other reasons not to like McCain but heres another one

May i remind everyone in here that the reason Obama will win handily is BECAUSE of us "[EXPLETIVE]". There is one person of color in the entire state of Iowa yet he beat Hilary and has turned it into a blue state. Obama is easily ahead in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,Virginia, etc. Not exactly hotbeds of African-American culture. Yes, you are seeing a lot of these ignorant white people coming out of the woodwork, but let's put this into perspective.....the only way any black man/woman can become president is for an overwhelming majority of whites to vote for him/her. A vast majority of us look at character, leadership abilities, and new ideas to get out of this mess. While i agree these morons should be called out and exposed for who they are, let's all agree that people of all races, white, black, yellow, red, and brown, came together to elect a man we all feel will make a fine president. We ALL made history.
Mto you r part of the problem. If the headline said look what some knuckle heads did it would be one thing but how is this mccain fault?
Now if obama were 2 actually tell the truth about himself he would have deaded this a while ago. The truth is he is a Muslim because all the males in his family are. That is a fact.
Mto readers I'm sure yall have your own mind and know that the candidates can't control what ppl say and do.
Mto I love yall but plz stop engaging in bad journalism its one thing 2 trash celebs but this is over board.
The sign is fair game. What's the difference between this and the false reporting by the left and the jokes on snl etc
My point is switch the headlines and stop spoon feeding garbage!
@ HoodConservative
He was raised by his white grandparents who were Christians. He was never raised by his black side of the family who was Muslim. So your justification of him being Muslim doesn't even make sense. And even he was Muslim in the past, he attended a Christian church, so he clearly would've converted. What Muslim would go to a Christian church for 20 years when he can go to his own place of Muslim worship? No offense, but Mr. "Educated Hood Fella", you don't have much common sense.
UGHHH I HATE DEM DEY SO RACISTS THATS HOW I KNOW DAT THEY ALREADY KNOW OBAMA BETTER THEN THEM BECUZ THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN ALL THEY'VE BEEN DOIN IZ TRYING TO DEGRADE AND TALK ABOUT OBAMA HE'S NEVER DONE THAT TO THEM AND THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE DOIN IT IZ BECUZ THEY ARE SCARED AND THEY KNOW OBAMA IZ BETTER THEN THEY OLD RACISTS AZZES. OBAMA 08 BABII!!
@ polkadotskin
1st of all his mother is athiest. 2nd of all here in Newark there are alot of muslims who will tell you that if your a male with muslim bloodlines you are muslim.
I am not a muslim, I am a christian and i have nothing against him or anyone else because of his religion, its a free country.
btw his mom married a muslim who enrolled Barack in a muslim worshipping school in indonesia thats why he doesnt want to release any ***. It is a FACT that he studied the Koran, and was known as a muslim in Indonesia.
Now, his wife made him go to HER church because of his polital career, and it just so happens that it is the most racist church I have ever seen.
It took 20 years for him to realise that its not a good look to be associated with them, and thats fine.
He need to just tell the truth about his past thats all.
And just because i dont agree with you means i dont have common sense? well obv not, your lack of common sense is evident when you say "used to be a muslim, ask someone of that faith what a "used to be muslim is called"
@ HoodConservative
You can disagree and still have common sense. My reason for saying that you're NOT exhibiting common sense is b/c of the fact that Muslims wouldn't go to a Christian church for 20 years & still be Muslim. Muslims have their own place of worship. Allah is their god. It doesn't make sense. So for you & others to come out and say that he's a Muslim is just ridiculous. What Muslim do you know of would get baptized in a Christian church? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! Finally, leaving the Muslim religion & becoming a Christian is known as conversion.
Well UNLESS you a *** IDIOT...THE TRUTH IS IN YOUR FACE. THEY HAVE PHOTOS OF PALIN TRAILER PARK *** WITH A RIFLE FIRING AWAY........SO HER RAGGEDY HILLBILLY *** IS THE DIRTY *** WE SHOULD ALL WORRY ABOUT AND MCCAIN..ALL SOMEBODY HAS TP DO IS TRIP HIS *** UP AND He"S BOUND TO HAVE A *** HEART ATTACK ANY DAY NOW...THE EPITOME OF WHITE RUBBISH!!!!!

Why I Can't Vote For Obama� By Huntley Brown�
Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth repeating...�
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.�
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.�
I can't vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that's who I am. Christian first, black second.� Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won't be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.�
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-*** marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.�
We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don't know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.�
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008)�
To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 *** years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.�
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating. There is a reason the *** community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-*** marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.�
Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue�
The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:�
A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)� B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.� C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.� D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.� E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.�
God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.� Think about this:� You can't give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.�
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.� Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright's sermons. I wonder why now?�
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 "Go and make disciples of all nations." This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?�
Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a ...
1. Commitment to the White Community� 2. Commitment to the White Family� 3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic� 4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community.� 5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions� 6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System� 7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.�
Would you support a President who went to a church like that?�
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's former church.�� If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al *** would have been marching outside.�
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church.� The church can't be about race.� Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.�
A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if itʼs a white church or a black church it's still wrong.� Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.�
Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?�
So what does all this mean for the nation?�
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.�
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 "Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."�
Then God says�
1 Samuel 1:18 " When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day." 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. "No!" they said. "We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles."� 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king."�
Here is what we know for sure.�
God is not schizophrenic�
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.�
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.�
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you.� I also know he will continue to push for *** rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this.� I know I can look the other way because of the economy.�
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.�
Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,�
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.�
2.� Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?�
Blessings,
Huntley Brown

Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al *** would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.
A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if itʼs a white church or a black church it's still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
So what does all this mean for the nation?
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 "Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."
Then God says
1 Samuel 1:18 " When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day." 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. "No!" they said. "We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles." 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king."
Here is what we know for sure.
God is not schizophrenic
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for *** rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.
2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?
