It isn’t the government that dictates the compassion of this nation. Acts of compassion by individuals require the liberty of free choice to so act – and thus spring from the kindness or goodness of a person. Compassion, in a sense, gets its definition from a person willingly overriding their own selfishness to help another.

The government can only approach this in two ways: Encourage compassionate acts (the way that promotes Liberty which is the governments purpose), or mandate people to carry out a warped sort of forced mock compassion (This is borderline fascism).

Not to mention, thinking the American people will suddenly be more compassionate under a President Obama than they are under President Bush is quite absurd.

Obama quitting his church only NOW represents nothing more than the poorest of judgement at all levels:

* prior to joining did he not investigate the quality of this church? No person I know who joins a church hasn’t done this first principle act.

* after years and years of, intermittently or not, listening to this tripe never detracts his choice to attend

* only now after the revelation of the anti-American rhetoric that spews forth does he renounce his membership, but not because he wants to, but because he’s being pressured to do so

* it never occurred to him before the campaign that the anti-American rants were not only inappropriate for associating one’s self to such a church, but that they were inappropriate as an American, to begin with

* what will he do with every choice and every decision placed at his feet for action?

* what will he do with every American’s concern for providing for the common defense, promoting the general welfare and securing the blessing of our liberty to ourselves and our posterity?

It’s not a black and white campaign because of race, it is a black and white campaign regarding who we should be voting for in November.

How very convenient, as it was an issue that would have haunted them throughout the general. And I must disagree, Mike’sA. I think Obama has plenty of influence in Trinity to control what goes on there. So, IMHO, it was stage events to get rid of Wright, and stage events to get rid of Trinity before the superdelegates use that as an excuse to change to Hillary in Denver, as they have the right to do. Until the fat lady is on stage, there’s no clear winner. And I’ll bet HRC will go the whole 9 yards… as she should.

Pelosi, however, is livid.. In a SF Chronicle interview she threatens to “step in”

Pelosi pointedly warned Clinton supporters, some of whom are threatening to take the delegate fight as far as the Democratic National Convention, that such a strategy could seriously damage the chances of electing a Democrat to the White House in November.

“There is too much at stake in our country for us to be thinking that we can afford the luxury of intraparty battles eight weeks before the election,” Pelosi said in her strongest words yet on the tussle over seating the Florida and Michigan delegates. “We’ve had many months to have a debate, to come to a conclusion. And one way or another … we have to come together.”

Pelosi told The Chronicle earlier this week that if the matter of seating the delegates is not decided by late June, she will “step in” if necessary to prevent a fight at the convention in late August.

Ahhh.. the DNC “goddess” speaketh… The fate of the delegates has been decided, but it’s not going down well with the masses. The DNC is now officially a party of elite delegates who ignore the voters’ choice, and now we learn they have a goddess of absolute dictatorial power at the helm.

I’m a little late with this, was out playing 9, but, looks like Senator Fluffy is making a political calculation. How soon till he calls this issue a “diversion?” (CNN)
Barack Obama resigned Saturday from his Chicago church — where …

Really now. I’m willing to venture that most voters won’t give a rat’s ass about this. Just like they gave a rat’s ass with regard to the coke snorting, alcoholic, AWOL, fundie that’s currently in office. Twice.

Get a grip.
