It would have been really funny if you'd gone back and added that to the third one (above Gob's post).
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

as far as Christie, thank goodness he made a fool of himself fawning over jerry jones after a recent cowboy victory, that should be enough to lose him the white male vote

I saw when it happened. Christie kissed Obama too. Who cares. Can he do the job? is my only concern.
With all the pretenders in office now (who don't lick feet), I don't care if he licks peoples feet as long as he can get the job done for the people.

This - is totally insulting. I don't care whether you are black, white, brown, yellow, or purple, its rude and condescending to say that Barak Obama isn't black.

just wait for the smear campaign to really get rolling. it s already begun. then I ll ask who gives Sharpton and rube the right to decide who is an uncle tom.

I ve never actually done any work to promote a candidate, if carson runs I will.

again, don t rely on the media to give an accurate portrayal of his views. the portrayal has been opposite of what I ve heard him

How is Carson's experience sooooo different than Obama's background? Carson lived in a family where his parent owned a home, had good jobs, and then divorced. They both were raised by single mothers, they both moved around a bit. They both went to public high school, worked hard, and did well, in part driven by a parent who valued education. They both had an elite post-secondary education and professional school, and succeeded there as well.

C'mon wes, don't ignore me. Break it down. Show us how they are so different than Obama can't possibly be black.

And, if you get right down to it, Bill Clinton was really the first black president anyway :mrgreen:

Washington had a black last name; Jefferson too. Hell, Jefferson had a sitcom.

why don t you break down where i said Obama wasn t black? i don t recall that.... and why can t Obama be white?

his mother was white, there is one difference.

carson s ancestors were slaves, there s another.

carson grew up and spent his formative years in America, there s another difference

carson doesn t hang around with racists like Sharpton, there s a difference

everything i said about blackness was tongue in cheek anyway. except the part about rube and others saying in a left handed way that carson is an uncle tom. race is not really an issue with me at all, unless i m confronting racism. Sharpton and his ilk would throw us into civil war in a heartbeat.

you should really watch the c span/Washington journal thing with carson yesterday, you might be pleasantly surprised

why would i ignore you? i like you. i was trying to fix my truck. gave up for today and cleaned the yard tho

crackpot, i recall a lot of people saying that about Obama too.....

I watched a few minutes of that Carson interview. It's obvious that he believes he will run for president, not because he wants to - but because he needs to - and he knows what MLK jr would think of race relations today.

What more can you ask for? Vote for Ben. We need a real black man in the White House who can communicate with dead people.
