Amen to that.

An odd turn of phrase, given the context of this discussion.

I didn't use it casually.

You're absolutely right. There's no way that Obama and his pal's
Phelger and Wright (two men of the cloth with whom he communed
with regularly - well, one of them anyway) could ever be as vile
as a more-or-less traditional Christian.

Did I post that? Care to quote me? Or would you rather just on go on
making up stuff I didn't write?

BTW, do more-or-less traditional Christians ignore the advice of their
father who once held the same job they now hold and instead rely on a
"higher authority," say when deciding whether to invade a country on the
basis of imaginary evidence? I know lots of Christians, generally when they
do something stupid they don't claim it was God's idea.

Again, I am not defending
Christianity particularly here. I am holding your view up to the
ridicule it deserves. Phelger, Wright, Ayers, and host of other
vicious, race-baiting, violent, and generally horrid influences on
Obama get scant notice.

"Scant notice?" Sure, if you ignore newspapers, news magazines, television,
radio and the internet you might not have seen much about Wright, Ayers et
al. You should check out your local public library, they have all kinds of
news publications there you can read. Might as well get some use out of
something it irritates you to pay for.

But a president that expresses a fairly
mainstream Christian viewpoint is "extreme'. You're hilarious.
I'll take the whacky right over the nasty, cruel, victim-laden
socialists that you adore.

LOL, you are leaping to conclusions on the basis of scant evidence. I'm
traditionally seen mocking the left more than the right, by miles. However
given that the Bush administration has been a circus of corruption and
incompetence it's rather difficult to ignore that. What's funny is that if
Obama wins it won't be because he's such a dream candidate (personally I
think he lacks experience) but because the Bush legacy will be a millstone
around the neck of McCain.
