Steven, thank you, your last statement was encouraging. I guess I can't really say, since I don't really have any friends or contact with people off-line...at least not outside of my church. I am a member of many forums, lots of which start thread asking questions like "what do you think about homosexuality/abortion/gay marriage/etc etc" and when I share my views, I get cursed out, told I'm not worth talking to, called judgemental, etc etc. That's why I say true Christians are not liked. Maybe in real life I would be....I don't know, I don't have the pleasure of having friends I guess. You're welcome.  I think most of us "regular" forum goers are hermits too (I know I am). And, it also depends "where" you go. Let's understand that there are ignorant people even within our own respective faiths. Of course there will be some that just hate us because they might look at either you and me and automatically think we are like the fanatics that only go around being mean and nasty to others. Again, this is what I mean by "how" we live our Christianity. There's a saying that goes something like this by Saint Francis: "Preach The Gospel at all times and when neccessary, use words." What I see him saying there is for us to live our lives in a manner that reflects Christ. We should be gentle of speech, non-judgmental. We might be on fire for Christ, but "how" we deliver our message could either help bring people to Christ or push people away from Christ. I'm nowhere near perfect, nor am I even a good communicator when it comes to representing him. I'd say that 75% of the time, when I debate theologically, I do it without the guidance of The Holy Spirit because it's too easy for me to get carried away and become argumentative. But I also know that there are times (like right now I believe) when I am on auto-pilot and the right words come out of me. I'm not saying that during that 75% I was wrong, only that my delivery was wrong and that kills the purpose. Who's going to listen to me if I am insulting or arrogant or a belittler? No one. Christ certainly wasn't like that. While I'll never be anywhere near as good as Him, if I am only 1/10th of a percent of what He was, then I'll be a million times better than what I am today.  |

Tom Tancredo calls both The President of The United States a "racist" and the next Supreme Court Judge of The United States a "racist". Glen Beck (the crybaby) calls The President of The United States a "racist" and says that President Obama at the same time both has a deep seeded hatred for white people or the white culture and that he's (Beck) not saying that President Obama dislikes white people.  Don't you decent conservatives see how crazy Fox News is? They regularly employ known convicted racists and perverts (like Mark Furhman, Dick Morris, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, etc...) who have records of indecent, lewd and perverse sexual behaviour or who are on the record as making racist statements. They are unAmerican. How can you trust them with guiding you to the truth when they are racists and perverts? Will anybody defend these Radical Right Wing Extremists? |

post video of all these people saying racists things. And not just clips, the whole context. Ok, but don't forget, their not just racists, a couple of them are sexual perverts who verbally assaulted co-workers and who had prostitutes and sucked their toes... Dick Morris Scandal Almost two months after New Federalist, the weekly newspaper of the LaRouche political movement, ran a front-page story, demanding that President Clinton "dump Roy Cohn's 'Dirty Dick' Morris" from his re-election campaign organization, the sleazy political operator has tendered his resignation. Morris, who is a cousin of the late New York City mob lawyer, J. Edgar Hoover intimate, and all-around scoundrel Roy Cohn, ostensibly left his position as self-described "chief political strategist" for the Clinton-Gore campaign over a sex scandal, involving a $200-an-hour hooker with whom he allegedly was having an extramarital affair and with whom he shared White House secrets. The story, on the front page of Rupert Murdoch's New York Post on Aug. 28, came just 12 hours before President Clinton delivered his acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention.
In reality, the sex scandal was merely the pretext for Morris's ouster. While Morris has been disliked, and distrusted, by Clinton loyalists for a long time, the LaRouche movement's call for President Clinton to dump his Rasputin-like campaign trickster, and the detailed exposés of Morris's mole-like performance inside the Clinton camp provided by New Federalist and EIR, helped catalyze a string of events that ultimately led to his dismissal. www.wlym.com/www.larouchepub.com/pr/1996/morris_resigns.htmlO'Reilly Sex Scandal By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, October 29, 2004; Page C01 Bill O'Reilly settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by his former producer last night, ending what he called a "brutal ordeal" without an apology.
The deal likely involves payment of millions of dollars to Mackris, since the two sides were discussing an offer of well over $2 million when negotiations broke down, say sources close to O'Reilly. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7578-2004Oct28.html |

Well, the first 3 videos...no one was saying anything "racist". Now the mark furman kfc comment i think was tilted toward blacks, well because they do eat alot of fried chicken, we all know that... NO i dont think he should have said it. I do think that he was taking his frustration out on O.J. because he is tired of seeing GUILTY people set free. Heck, OPRA was even disappointed when he was found not guilty.
I dont think beck said anything that was racist.
I also think that racial profiling is needed. They do it for drug dealers and for whatever type of criminal they are looking for.

Well, since the overwhelming majority of Meth users are white, is it ok for you to be pulled over and be profiled and be searched without cause illegaly violating your rights as a citizen? How many times a year are you profiled as a Meth user?  |

The police seem to do a good job breaking up these meth labs. On the other hand cocaine and heroin is brought into my town by blacks who live in Detroit, Chicago and Columbus so the police stop cars with blacks in them. So what? I want the meth labs shut down and I want cocaine and heroin stopped from being brought into my home town. |

Does the police lock them up? Don't you want the drug addicts out of your neighborhood/town? |

I never said it was not white males that are most likly to have a methlab or sell it. I was just saying that if I fit the bill for a reacurring crime, then i dont care if i get pulled over. I have nothing to hide, and if you have nothing to hide then who is it hurting? The police are only trying to keep the roads safe! |

Ann Coulter? The racist? Yuck! LOL! Racist Quotes by Ann Coulter Draw Attention in Advance of Speech in Grand Rapids Conservative political commentator and columnist Ann Coulter has a long history of making racist statements that reveal an overall lack of understanding about how the world functions, but recent racist statements are at the root of a feud in being played out in the local media between the Democratic and Republican Party leadership. Coulter, who is scheduled to speak on March 16 in Grand Rapids at the Kent County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day lunch, has been the focus of nationwide scorn following comments describing Muslims as “ragheads.” While earlier comments in the media cited Carol Van Andel and John Van Fossen of the Kent County Republican Party describing her as “edgy” and saying that she will “inspire and excite people” as she “rips liberals at every opportunity,” now representatives from the Kent County Republican Party have been quoted defending racist statements made by Coulter.
At the center of the controversy are remarks made by Ann Coulter on February 10 at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). According to media reports, Ann Coulter discussed the possibility of Iran developing nuclear weapons and described how “Post-9/11 our philosophy should be: Raghead talks tough? Raghead faces consequences.” When challenged about the use of the term “raghead” by a young Middle Eastern man who asked her to “please, please, please, don’t say raghead,” Coulter responded “yeah, I made a few jokes at Muslims. They killed 3,000 Americans.” Michigan Democratic Party chairperson Mark Brewer yesterday (the same day that Coulter used “jihad monkey” and “camel jockey” as replacements for "rag head") called on the Michigan GOP to denounce Coulter’s statements and prevent her from speaking in Grand Rapids. In response, Michigan Republican Party co-chairperson Karl Hascall defended Coulter’s racism:
Ann Coulter is an entertainer who does political commentary. She uses extreme statements to get her point across. I wouldn't go around calling Arabs ragheads, but in certain contexts, such as comedy, that's accepted. www.mediamouse.org/news/2006/02/racist-quotes-by-ann-coulter-d.php |

Why don't they just stop it already?  TOPEKA, Kan. -- U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins told a recent gathering in northeast Kansas that the Republican Party is looking for a "great white hope" to help stop President Barack Obama's political agenda. www.nypost.com/seven/08272009/news/politics/rep__gop_looking_for_great_white_hope_186757.htm" Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope," Jenkins said. " I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in Washington." ____________________________________________________ Do you know where the term "great white hope" comes from? "The great white hope"The term, "the great white hope," reflects the racism and segregation of the era in which Johnson fought.
It could be argued that Johnson, the first African American to hold the World Heavyweight Championship title, was the best fighter of his generation.
Yet, white reaction against Johnson's win and his very public relationships with white women was so strong that, in 1912, the United States Congress, concerned that scenes of Johnson pummeling white boxers would cause race riots, passed a law making it illegal to transport prizefight films across state lines.
"The great white hope" is a reference to the boxer whom whites hoped would finally defeat Johnson.  Acting as a lens focused on a racist society, The Great White Hope explores how segregation and prejudice created the demand for a "great white hope" who would defeat Johnson and how this, in turn, affected the boxer's life and career.74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:x1mxWIJRB6oJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_White_Hope+the+great+white+hope&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us |
