Obama's Charleston Euolgy
- Thread starter NickleDimer
- Start date
"Justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other."
In 30 years, that will be the speech he is remembered for. Like W at the rubble, Reagan in Berlin and Kennedy's Inauguration.
Well done by O

I would think eulogys of Christian men of the cloth would be something you generally want to steer clear of. There will be Jesus talk. Doesn't seem like your cup of tea.
African Methodist Episcopal funerals are kinda my thing.
I'm of the opinion that Obama is an atheist. That's really the only thing that explains why he would claim to be a member of church led by a black nationalist.
Solid work by an economy killer. If only he had built a few corporations FROM THE GROUND UP. Reagan's corpse will be moving up a few notches in my GoP candidate rankings next week.
But he didn't he was busy community organizing. It takes hard work to build something. Looking forward to seeing your democratic rankings. Hilary or bust lot to be proud of there.
Community organizing... easy living. Exploiting cheap Chinese labor... HARD WORK.
I wonder if any Obama hating Christians were able to keep their composure enough to consider what he said about grace. Or did they flip the channel as soon as they saw a room full of brown people?
Also: very gutsy for a shitty singer to put himself out there like that.

The extent of my catholic education is a single class with Fr. Bernie Lazor where he scowled at us and told us how awful we were. But my understanding is that grace, in the religious sense, is the unconditional love of God.
In the secular world, grace is traditionally defined as the HR swing of Pat Burrell or the three point stroke of Allen Ray.

Sad man i feel for you. Going through life hating like that has got to be tiring
Actually, you've got it backwards, ND. Grace is God's unconditional love of us. It's the reason He gave His son to wash away sin. Btw, not trying to start an argument. I'm just putting out the fact as it relates to the religious connotation of grace.
Christ, can we get some clarification about how far we should take your advice about casting stones? Personally, I like to use it to downplay any reprehensible act, kind of like how many people use their latent racism to downplay the accomplishments of a black president.
"kind of like how many people use their latent racism to downplay the accomplishments of a black president."
the new liberal definition of racism. Any criticism means you are a racist. Watching way to much msnbc these days.

What is awful about his credentials? I thought a lack of credentials on the other ticket is what helped him win in '08. A background in civil rights and neighborhood economic development seems to be a good skill set for an elected official representing the south side of Chicago.
When you say neighborhood economic development can you expand on what you mean by that. Not sure he invested or developed real estate. Not really worthy of argument the fact that he can't get his own party behind him on trade after the republicans sided with him speaks volumes. No one is listening anymore. Gonna be a slow 2 years. Its like the last year of W no one wanted to hear from him anymore.
