Responding to an article about James Dobson’s lack of support for John McCain, Rhonda from Newark wrote:

“I am a 56 year old born again Christian woman, have been since my youth. Here's a NEWSFLASH: there is no Dream Candidate, so get over it! Jesus is not running for office and if He did He'd lose and so what? Does that change what I think about anything? Absolutely not! I am an ambassador for Christ and my mission on this earth is to reach whomever I can for Him, period! Politically, I am mainly Conservative and I'm going to vote for McCain because I agree with him on more issues than not.”

Editor: Thanks, Rhonda, I am still uneasy about the McCain presidency, let’s see who the VP nominee will be.



Harriet, in reference of a story on Friday regarding John Haggee and remarks he says were misconstrued, wrote:
“ I just wonder what this liberal rabbi would say if he asked the 'old order Jews' in Israel how they feel about giving up their God given land for a peace that is not going to happen?
This rabbi? has been caught up in the rush to conform to the worldview. He is wrong and Hagee is right.”


Paula wrote in to comment on a story in the AP about Rev. Wright:
“So just because a white man only talks bad about people of color once in awhile, he is not a bigot? Rev Wright has many many DVD's out there with the same hate-speech on them. Poll: 85% of the black community does NOT agree with R. Wright of his black theology. No one ever said bad people can not do good works, but you can't get to heaven by good works! Since Jesus was black in R. Wright's teachings and God doesn't like the white oppressor, I suppose a goodly amount of Christians are doomed because of their skin color.

Editor: Thanks Paula, Wright clearly has it wrong.



Regarding Mel Gibson being sued by a person claiming to have written the script, Sue wrote in and said,

“Someway I wish I could still find a way to let Mel Gibson know---The movie was great. And the message is the Best message ever. "Forgiveness" If the people that accused Mel Gibson could only remember to "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone." then all of this negative hullabaloo could stop! .P.S. I don't think this guy wrote the story in the first place!!!


Responding to a Thursday article about Obama finding a church home, Shirley from Freeville, NY says,

“Trent Lott made one joking comment out of a long career in public service and lost his Senate leadership position. Sen. Allen said the word macaca, not even aware of its meaning, and lost his election bid. If McCain had a 20 year association with someone who said the kinds of things Wright does, only favoring whites and white power, this election would be over. If Obama were a white Republican his campaign would be at an end.

I for one do not want a President who talks unity out of one side of his mouth, and supports racial prejudice of any color out the other.
