“Not that there is anything wrong with that.” I was on my gig on Saturday night playing the blues in a bar. The regular bunch of guys and dolls are in the audience and on the break somehow the talk turned to politics. Low and behold I get from to reasonably normal and intelligent people to Ditto head dummies. From the Coultergeist calling Barack H. Obama “B Hussein Obama” to coworkers emailing Obama the Muslim pictures and stories linking him with al-Queda. Ridiculous!!!!! This is going to be one of the nastiest political campaigns in history I believe. I keep getting chain e-mails one claiming that Obama is a racist by virtue of belonging to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, the email goes on to say that this church only accept black parishioners. False e-mail I received around the first of the year./ Subject: Obama's church.
WTF!!!! First of all Obama’s middle name is not Mohammed, it is Hussein. Now the facts about Obama’s Church. Trinity describes itself as “a congregation which is unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian and does not apologize for its African roots.” The church specifies a commitment to Africa and to “Historical education of African people in Diaspora.” The congregation is overwhelmingly black, amazing that a church in a white or black neighborhood reflects the race of the neighborhood. It has been established that Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ welcomes all races as written by a professor of theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School, Martin E. Marty. He recommends watching Trinity’s Sunday services, and challenges anyone to find anything cultic or sectarian about them. He also on occasion attends with his wife and said like all other non-blacks, are enthusiastically welcomed. Even the right leaning www.FactCheck.org stated that “Wherever we looked we found ample evidence that Obama’s church is pro-black, but we found none to support a claim that it is anti-white. Calling it racist is in our judgment a falsehood.”/ This is another e-mail I was forwarded by a friend trying to convince me not to support Obama. Who is Barack Obama?
I am a Musician, political Junkie, Father, Husband, who cares very much about the United States of America and what is being done to the Ideals and citizens of this great Nation. I want to restore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to what the founders of this nation intended to protect us from. I was born in Niagara Falls, N.Y. and I now reside in Florida. I am tired of the media being manipulated by Faux News and right wing propaganda that leading our Democracy into the moral and financial abyss. I want the American people to wake up and take back this country to restore it to be a beacon of freedom and liberty to the world again.
