2. The whole Reverand Wright thing. Don't try to tell me that you hung with that guy for 20 years and NOW you disagree with his crazy talk? Come on! He married you and your wife, he baptized your kids. Now, you "don't agree with him". To lie to me like that is insulting. OK, I believe Senator Obama doesn't completely agree with the crap that Rev. Wright preaches, but how much of it does he agree with? The real answer might be scary.

3. The whole take on taxation. I didn't realize I was "rich" until the current democratic leadership told me so. That line about "people making less than $200K won't be affected". I call BS. I definitely make less than $200K, yet I feel squarely in their cross hairs. I have some mutual fund shares. My personal investing is how I plan for retirement. Don't think for a minute congress will save Social Security. You need to provide for yourself. Anyway, if the next Pres. repeals the lower tax rates on capital gains and dividends, my retirement plan will be all jammed up.

I am in no way racist, even with my background of being raised in Texas i don't have much if any racism attached to me

However, I personally don't understand how that reverend as well as all of those black people inside the church are cheering him with their affection. They think the white man is the devil and that they have to protect themselves from white people.

Statistically more robberies/murders/mugging is done by a larger percentage of African Americans in this county.

HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO IGNORANT AS TO LOB AN ENTIRE RACE, A NATION FOUNDED UPON CAUCASION WHITE MALES/FEMALES?

That reverend honestly needs to wake the **** up, and realize that as hateful as he is, all he is personally doing is leading to more trouble.
I swear if i ever am accused of being a racist or if any of my friends are accused of being a racist, i will point them to this Reverend.

It's sickening.

Sorry for the ranting but i just can't stand the hypocrisies of America right now.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. If you want a socialized country, moved to a socialist country, I'm sure China would love to have you! Maybe move to Canada if you want socialized health care....and don't get butt hurt when it takes 6 months for a doctor to see your or you are refused service because the treatment costs too much or maybe they tell you the same thing they told my ex's grand mother....'the treatment is too expensive & you are old, you have lived a full life, we can't treat you'. **** socialism, **** liberalism, and **** you lazy ***** that want the people that work hard to get ahead to pay your health care, welfare, etc.

Because clearly, growing global demand in China & India have nothing to do with it...along with the weakened dollar value. Get a clue. Supporting big business is what generates jobs. You take more $$ from business, they have less to expand & grow, thus making them lay off.

Affirmative action has worked its way all the way to the top. Maybe after this there won't be anymore "paying them back". Is this going to be the final reparation? If he is elected get ready for even more socialized crap and higher taxes. And if he is dumb enough to try and infringe on our constitutional rights then yes, Molon ******* Labe *****.

I agree with you big time! Preaching all this hate monger **** set us africian americans back to the days. Come the **** on that stupid revern has no clule on the world, I hate it when some black people blame white people on their problems and why their in some **** up situations. I did 11 years in the Us Army I came from nothing to be honest, Also I had a free ride to play basket ball in collage, But I wanted somthing else. I learn if you put yourself in bad **** you will get bad ****. America has alot of programs to help anybody become a sucess, But if you spend all your time on the street doing nothin then you will get nothin. And its white peoples fault Boy I really do hate the fact the some African American dwell in the past never forget it how life was for us but its been over years ago. Lets move the **** on for real. Im am so sick of the blame game. If I can come from nothin have a house a fast as F body and investments then so can everybody else. My family has money but me being the black sheep I had to do it all on my own.
