Ah, yes, I love it: the intersection of religion, race, and politics - could TMR be more "on point" if it tried?
As the congregation stands up - to applaud thought-stopping language - so does TMR. As the preacher dances - to the sound of his own voice - so does TMR. As this whole "attacking the black church" fiasco blows up - so does TMR.
And it's about time.
Those of you in the Cult of Obama can let the scales fall from your eyes now, finally understanding how you will blindly follow anyone. You didn't know Barack Obama; you didn't care to know Barack Obama - you didn't even understand Barack Obama's message - but TMR did. And it's only when you start admitting to yourselves that you can be duped into believing nonsense - or that you will even dupe yourselves into believing nonsense - will we, together, be able to stop such nonsense. And we will stop it, one day, out of a sincere love for our country. You know it can't go on like this. 
I understand, I really do: you wanted to "believe" in something so badly. Well, so do Rev. Wright's particularly cultish black folks. And what you've chosen to believe in is, absolutely, as unrealistic as what they have. Listen to their angry words, papered over by their "hope". Look at one man being set against another, covered up by their mutual desire for "change". And finally understand that these, too, have been your desires - especially the desire for "spirituality" to do the hard work - when (all along) you should've been thinking. Understand that, in looking at this black church, you're looking in a mirror, Ladies and Gentlemen. A mirror that can finally allow you (I hope) to honestly ask yourselves the same question Bob Dylan asked when this whole ass-backwards NewAge odyssey was originally getting out of hand. Seriously - since you wanted in the club:
How does it feel?

ReplyDeletemisogny, you forgot misogny. Whenever I think of CMC and TMR (I specialize in acronyms), i think of the 4 R's: religion, race, politics(republican) and misogyny.
this is from theonion.com about Obama - it's the type of thing Richter thinks CMC would lol at.
ReplyDeleteCHICAGO—According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.
"The time for change is now," said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change. "The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change."

The black guy is oddly comfortable demanding change from people he's never even met.
It is estimated that, to date, the black man has asked every single person in the United States for change.
"I've already seen this guy four times today," Chicago-area ad salesman Blake Gordon said. "Every time, it's the same exact spiel. 'I need change.' 'I want change.' Why's he so eager for all this change? What's he going to do with it, anyway?"
After his initial requests for change, the black man rambled nonstop on a variety of unrelated topics, calling for affordable health care, demanding that the government immediately begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, and proposing a $75 billion economic stimulus plan to create new jobs.
"What a wacko," Schaumburg, IL resident Patrick Morledge said. "And, of course, after telling us all about how he had the ability to magically fix everything, he went right back to asking for change. Typical."
"If he's really looking for change, he's got the wrong guy," Morledge added.
Reports indicate that the black man has been riding from city to city across the country, asking for change wherever he goes. Citizens in Austin, TX said they spotted the same guy standing on the street Friday, shouting far-fetched ideas about global warming. Cleveland residents also reported seeing him in a local park, wildly gesticulating and quoting from the Bible. And last week, patrons at the Starlight Diner in Cheyenne, WY claimed that the black man accosted them while they were eating, repeatedly requesting change.
"I saw him walk in and I knew he was headed straight for our table," said mother of three Gladys Davies. "He just stood there smiling at us for a while, and asked how our food tasted. Then he went and did the same thing at the next table over. The nerve of some people."
Those who encountered the black man Tuesday said he engaged in erratic behavior, including pointing at random people in the crowd and desperately saying he needs their help, going up to complete strangers and hugging them, and angrily claiming that he is not looking for just a little bit of change, but rather a great deal of change, and that he wants it "right now."
"I'll be honest, when that black guy said he would 'stop at nothing' to get change, it kind of scared me," local mechanic Phil Nighbert said. "Just leave me alone."
Though many were taken aback by the black man's brazen demands, some, such as Jackson, MS's Holly Moser, sympathized with him. She gave the black man credit for boldly standing up and asking every last person around him for change.
"I told him I'd give him some if I saw him later, even though I probably won't," Moser said. "Very nice man, though."
Most, however, ignored his requests.
"I'm a hardworking American who pays his taxes, and the last thing I need is some guy on the street demanding change from me," said William Overkamp, a Springfield, IL gun-shop owner.
He added, "What he really needs is a job."
Listening to Barack's response in the news today, it seems that Rev Wright had to attack him personally before he would get away from some of the feel good crap he came out with before in Phily. But just the fact that it takes a personal attack for Barack to do anything shows how far up his ass his head is. He can't even protect himself from nutjobs like Wright, never mind a country. And both these guys continue to relish the victim role - they are sooooo misunderstood and yet soooo much more enlightened than the rest of us. It really is sickening.
