The principles of love and peace, Ahimsa (Non-Violence), forgiveness and sacrifice are needed among leaders of all countries especially from leaders of the most powerful nation on earth not hate mongering.
Ahimsa (Non-violence) has not merely the negative and restrictive meaning of 'Non killing' or Non violence', but the positive and comprehensive meaning of 'Love embracing of all creation' with purity of heart, mind and speech. Lord Buddha was one of the greatest teachers of non-violence.
Jesus Christ was the Prince of Peace. As a Jew, he crossed religious boundaries. He repeatedly reached out and embraced Roman conquerors, other Gentiles, and even the more despised Samaritans. When they crucified Him, He prayed for His tormentors, saying, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
Gandhi sacrificed his own life so that Hindus & Muslims could live in harmony and peace. Speaking on Mahatma's death Einstein had said, "Tomorrow, the world may not even believe that such a man ever existed."
What greater sacrifice than those of Anwar Sadat and Yitzak Rabin who gave their lives for the cause of peace in the Middle East. What greater sacrifice than that of Dr. Martin Luther King who believed in making change, even radical change, without violence. On the steps of Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King said: "I have a dream that on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."
In South Africa the story of Mandela & de Klerk- - one was the oppressed and the other was oppressor- is inspiring indeed. After having been imprisoned for 28 years, rather than choosing violence , he chose reconciliation and forgiveness ,,, in a spirit of give and take. Needless to say , both sides had to sacrifice and a new more prosperous South Africa was born.All great leaders sacrifice all their lives not by mere words but by their actions before they are coronated leaders. Clintons spent their whole life helping the blacks . In fact Bill Clinton is known as the first Black President. Some of our second generation has not seen the assassination of the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King and Freedom marches.I came to this country in 1960 and I saw it all .I changed jobs a couple of times when I was discriminated against. What was Obama doing then? He was into drugs – heroin and Alcohol and crack cocaine. He did not march in any of the freedom marches. Indo Americans and blacks were discriminated against. Not anymore. An Indian is Governor of Lousiana and we have black Governors in Mass and New York and Latino Governor in New Mexico So what is the purpose of spreading hatred against whites again?
For Obama "Spiritual advisor and mentor" has become "my former pastor". It isn't Rev. Wright who is the problem it is Senator Obama and that is a shame. What makes it worse is that once again the cable news shows , are calling those of us who question Obama as racists and "knuckleheads". They are dead wrong. We are strong liberal Democrats - not Reagan Democrats - who are appalled that he would stay a close associate of Wright, who would not speak out until caught red-handed. We had hope for him and now we don't. We dread McCain and will end up voting for him even though we swore we would never vote Republican. We are sickened by the morons in the Klan (all five hundred of them) and we are sickened by the morons who "lynched" the Duke Lacrosse Team. We are sickened by the neglect of Katrina victims, and we are sickened by the beating of a white kid in Jena who had nothing to do with the noose in the tree. We are sickened by Mark Furman and we are sickened by the OJ Simpson verdict and the reaction to it. If your spiritual mentor is a nut then find another who isn't. If you can stand by someone who doesn't understand that hundreds of thousands of white (and many black) soldiers were killed or wounded fighting slavery then you have problems. If you stand by someone who remembers Hiroshima and forgets Pearl Harbor then you have problems. If your spiritual advisor forgets that two of the three freedom riders killed in Philadelphia, Mississippi were white then you have a problem. If you won't wear a flag pin because it is phony patriotism (it is), but give a speech on race in front of eight large American flags then you are phony.Senator you are making Republicans of your friends. We are the ones who praise Dr. King, Andrew Young, Nelson Mandela….We are the ones who want to move forward.Mr. Obama is arrogant and lacks the judgment and character to be POTUS.Obama's many speeches, books, and online posts reference and in many ocassions duplicate sermons, words, or books by the Rev. Wright.Rev. Wright specifically endorses black theology and regularly quotes and/or references persons who are historical figures in black theology (this includes, James Cone).As Rev. Wright has said on many ocassions, you should read James Cone. That is what Obama believes in (black theology). In Cone's words, he believes that the only God that should be worshiped is the one who will empower the AA community and *destroy* the white community. If you think I am making this up, go read for yourself.As a Democrat I''m totally dismayed that such a weak and flawed candidate like Obama is leading for the Democrat nomination; if he gets it we''ve got another Kerry on our hands who will lose. Obama has never really accomplished anything that would justify moving him up to the WH; every large city in the US has people who have done more. And now here he is, after listening to this racist preacher for 20 years, saying he didn''t know his real political view. That''s just plain unbelievable. Obama chose this church, he chose this "minister." Think what the Republicans can do with this in the fall; he wants to be president but for 20 years he did not figure out that his "minister" was a racist who hated America; put that with Obama''s refusal to wear a flag lapel pin and his wife''s apparently hating American until Obama appeared to be getting the nomination...the Republican ad makers will have a field day as they put McCain in the White House
Obama has STILL not explained why he was a member of such a hate-filled church and WHY he had this loony pastor on his advisory board?? He has NOT explained how he tolerated such horrible, hateful rhetoric for so long (unless he secretly agrees with it) and how he called this man a close, personal friend. A man who preached that the U.S. invented the AIDS virus to infect and murder black people!! Who calls the USA the USKKKA to imply we are no better than the KKK. A man who encourages his flock to say God #$%@ America instead of God Bless America. He still has not explained why he stayed in such a hateful church for 20 years!! Instead he gives a lame speech about race relations and side-tracks the whole issue. I think he''s a con man and a hypocrite
I found this speech devisive on so many leves. First, let us not compare Ferraro''s statement with Wright''s. Wright has made numerous anti-white and anti -country statements while Ferraro simply stated what everyone including Obama knows and that is his race has garnered him votes..it has..and it certainly isn''t racist to say it. 90% of the blacks vote for him . If this is not racism , what is? Second, he says the past is not dead and buried...while we should never forget what happened to black in America it is time to move past it and create an atmosphere of acceptance for all. As outraged as blacks would be if this was said at a primarily white congregation is as outraged as everyone including black Americans should be over the rantings of Wright. I am sorry but he is not the unifier that everyone thought he was. Finally, now he admits..yeah I was there when he made some of those remarks..well then he lied two days ago when he said he was not. He knew that with 8000 members in the church someone was going to say he was there so he was forced into telling the truth...I am sorry but the speech leaves me to believe that he would have gone on with Wright as his mentor if the sermons had not hit the media.
Last week, Obama said he was not aware of Rev. Wright''s comments until his presidential campaign. Then, today, he said he was aware of Rev. Wright''s comments. So, he lied. And, since he was aware of Rev. Wright''s comments, what does it say about his "judgement" that he allowed his children to be exposed to such hateful comments? I know Obama is a real smooth talker, but there are still some very serious questions about this guy. Preaching hate of America in the name of religion is wrong! To sit in a pew for 20 yrs and take your family to that church is wrong even if the hate language was only occasional. Religion should be about healing, love, peace and forgiveness, not hate. Look at what has happened in America, to America and by America as a result of hate in religion.
Obama Practices and preaches one thing until he is caught and then changes gears and redirects attention away from his involvment on the issue by broadening the issue so it appeals to the masses. This guy is a true politician, and has very good spin control analysts in his war room.This is the 3rd time those spin doctors have taken something Obama was caught red handed in and turned it around so the message appeals to the masses or he just down right dismisses it by saying that is nothing more than "old Washington politics." I guess someone is qualified to speak about race in America if his mother who is white, marries a black man and brings his family to worship at a church led by a racist.
Obama and family go to church with ear plugs because "I''ve never heard him speak that way" but in the next sentence says "He''s been part of my life..." News flash people - the hatred this minister holds did not happen overnight, it''s deep seated just as Obama says - but I guess it was the ear plugs that prevented Obama from hearing it all these years?He''s qualified to lead this country because he can''t afford a house so he has a rich friend (now on trial) buy the lot next to them a list price so they get the home at a discount. Most Americans would just keep looking but not Mr. Obama he takes the offer and is a proud owner of a luxurious house in Chicago - Oh until he is caught. When asked about this - "It''s just old Washinton politics."You''re right Mr. Obama, you are old Washington politics - another fraud - just shined up to appear new.
Senator Obama stated that Wright (I am not sure of his credentials to be a Reverend or Pastor; ie, what seminary he attended), harbored mis-trust and animosity built up from years of racial injustices that had been thrust upon Blacks in America. I am para-phrasing but this appeared to be the rationale Senator Obama was hiding Wright under. It seems to me that someone, anyone, in that church should have pointed that out to Wright and the fact that to continue to spew hatred in the direction of others (whites) would be an injustice to the children who attend the church and now have the opportunities of nearly 3 generations of assurances for racial equality - such as the fair housing act and affirmative action. Just the fact that Obama has come so far in his candidacy for his parties Presidential nomination attest to this.To continue to re-live the past, especially in front of the children of the church, on makes the past, the present. It never allows the past - to pass.
These many omissions by Obama spotlight why he is "not ready" to be President or to lead this nation. I have no doubt of his ambitions to do so; however, his mistakes and worse, his excuses show a lack of preparation and a lack of judgement that is necessary for a President.There is a strong will among many of the voters for him to be President, but it is better for him to run when he can succeed than to run now when he will undoubtedly continue to stumble and worse, fail.His experience has been on a local level where everyone he has worked with has had the interest of south Chicago or the interest of Illinois in common. He has never worked with leaders of foreign governments whose only interest is their own and could not care less about the agenda of the U.S. Obama has confused his abilities on local levels to achieve common goals with like minded people with an ability to bring together persons who have no concern in the best interest of Americans.
It is amazing how ridiculous the pledged delegate system is. Caucus system used by the democrats is a joke. Hillary gets 737 votes in Iowa and Obamagets 940 . Obama ends up getting 9 more pledged delegates than Hillary even though the difference in votes was only 203. That is 22 votes per delegate. In California, Hillary gets 416000 votes more than Obama yet she only gets 36 delegates more than Unpatriotic Obama. That comes down to 11000 CA votes per delegate.Is not it a joke that the votes in Iowa are 55 times more valuable than in the great state of California? Take the case of Texas. Hillary gets 100000 more votes than Obama yet Obama gets 6 more delegates. The media specially CNBC & CNN are so biased that they cannot bring this obvious defect in the selection process.The better method will be to use the total popular vote method. Hillary is already ahead if you count Florida & MI. Florida should be counted anyway as both Clinton & Obama's names were on the ballot. If there is a revote in MI, Hillary will win again. Asuming that Hillary wins PA, WV, KY and IN & Obama wins NC,MT, OR & SD .Using these assumptions, she will have approx 300000 more in popular votes. This is one of the ways it can be a fair election. Another way to judge is to use WINNER TAKE ALL method. and use the Electoral Vote method which will be used in the General Election in Nov.Cuurently Clinton has 267 electoral votes for the states she has won and Obama has 202 electoral votes using the same method as used in the GE. Assume that Hillary wins PA, WV, Indiana & KYand Obama gets SD, NC , OR , MT , Clinton will have 308 electoral votes and Obama will have 230 Electoral votes.That is 33% more electoral votes than Obama has. Clinton should thus be on top of the ticket rather than Obama who has been inspired by a man for 20 years who says " GOD DAMN AMERICA"Obama has been going to this church for 20 years, listening to this subversive, anti-American *** and continues to go to the church and call this man his spiritual advisor. How can someone be President of the United States when for the past twenty years he has been going to an "I Hate America" lecture every Sunday. Just think of how "God Damn America" will be played over and over and over again in Republican ads. To insult our country and to DAMN our country, while this man enjoys the very blanket of freedom that I (being military) provide, is absolutely unforgivable. More than anything we have to wake up Pelosi, DEAN, Ted Kennedy, Kerry, Brady & Gary Hart who have been fooled by fast talking Obama. You were responsible for our defeats in the past . You need to think real heard about her job if they give Obama the nomination and then he loses. She need not blame it on Clinton, who is questioning his experience and electablity now. Now is the time to ask these questions, because the Republicans surely will in the fall and I'm convinced that the media will do all they can to help John McCain get out his message!!! It's time to vet Barrack Obama before it's too late, let the process go on!!!! Let us GET UNITED . Let us win with the DREAM TICKET.
Yes on trashing his grandmother. According to reports, she and her husband raised him for several years and paid for a private and prestigious high school education to boot, even though his skin is decidedly black; how racist could she be? A real racist wouldn't do that, in my opinion. And heck, some blacks ARE scary - as are some whites, hispanics and/or italians - you name the ethnicity. Depends on the person, and whether you fear there is evil intent. Yep, he threw his grandmother right under the bus to save his own sorry a**. I wonder how she's feeling right now, huh? But no doubt he's called to re-assure her, to tell her it's all just political spin.
Besides, the question of his grandmother's use of racial slurs is not the point. We all understand that as a child and young boy he had no control over who his parents/grandparents were, or what their various biases might be.
The real question is, what choices and associations has Obama made AS AN ADULT? (Think Rezko, think Rev. Wright). And who did he abandon in the process? (A good number of those poor folks he met 'over kitchen tables' who ended up in those slum apartments?) Most importantly, how do these choices over the last twenty years reflect on his character, judgment and fitness to be the next president?
Forgive my cynicism, but I most definitely suspect this 'profound speech' was a diversionary tactic and all about deflecting the spotlight back onto his opponents, particularly Clinton. Obama's persona and campaign strike me as one of the slickest political marketing ploys ever devised, and the way this well-oiled act mesmerizes the national and international media is quite astounding. Kudos Mr Axelrod.
Obama is nothing but spin!!His speach title “a more perfect union”, he stole it from Bill Clinton. See
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/26/dems.clinton.transcript/index.html
Bill gave that speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004 and he used the theme and words of a more perfect union. It was a beautiful speach Bill gave, now this Obama has the nerve to steal Bill Clinton’s words for this awful speech of his!!!
Obama’s whole message was in the context of race. He told white people that they have to accept the anti-white rage and not question it because they are white and could never understand. More bull shit!!! No useful discussion about race, just shut whites down from questioning some of these anti-white and anti-american rants. Take advantage of the good will of progressive whites like Ferraro, and make them feel to guilty to question this crap!!!
Obama’s speech never addressed all the anti-american insults to our country that Wright was saying!!!Does he think we are brain dead!!!!What about blaming America for AIDS, 9/11 etc… Even if you let the racial crap slide, what about the rest? I think Obama really hates America and should never be president. I’m not convinced that he has any loyalty to this country!!!
This is a mess and the DNC is making it worse by not taking a leadership role in fairly solving the Florida and Michigan situation!!!! The real democrat who loves this country and has served it for 35 years is being sqweezed out from having the opportunity to fairly compete!!! They are deliberately stripping her of the two big states that she one!!! They won’t redue them and they won’t count them!!!! What a bunch of crap. They are stealing the electiion for Obama!!! They are as bad as the republicans!!!They have no respect for the franchise!!
They are willing to throw the general election!!! Obama will never be elected in the general, Clinton at least has a fair chance. If the DNC would be fair, Clinton could win!!!!!

The real question is, what choices and associations has Obama made AS AN ADULT? (Think Rezko, think Rev. Wright). And who did he abandon in the process? (A good number of those poor folks he met 'over kitchen tables' who ended up in those slum apartments?) Most importantly, how do these choices over the last twenty years reflect on his character, judgment and fitness to be the next president?
Forgive my cynicism, but I most definitely suspect this 'profound speech' was a diversionary tactic and all about deflecting the spotlight back onto his opponents, particularly Clinton. Obama's persona and campaign strike me as one of the slickest political marketing ploys ever devised, and the way this well-oiled act mesmerizes the national and international media is quite astounding. Kudos Mr Axelrod.
Obama is nothing but spin!!His speach title “a more perfect union”, he stole it from Bill Clinton. See

Bill gave that speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004 and he used the theme and words of a more perfect union. It was a beautiful speach Bill gave, now this Obama has the nerve to steal Bill Clinton’s words for this awful speech of his!!!
Obama’s whole message was in the context of race. He told white people that they have to accept the anti-white rage and not question it because they are white and could never understand. More bull shit!!! No useful discussion about race, just shut whites down from questioning some of these anti-white and anti-american rants. Take advantage of the good will of progressive whites like Ferraro, and make them feel to guilty to question this crap!!!
Obama’s speech never addressed all the anti-american insults to our country that Wright was saying!!!Does he think we are brain dead!!!!What about blaming America for AIDS, 9/11 etc… Even if you let the racial crap slide, what about the rest? I think Obama really hates America and should never be president. I’m not convinced that he has any loyalty to this country!!!
This is a mess and the DNC is making it worse by not taking a leadership role in fairly solving the Florida and Michigan situation!!!! The real democrat who loves this country and has served it for 35 years is being sqweezed out from having the opportunity to fairly compete!!! They are deliberately stripping her of the two big states that she one!!! They won’t redue them and they won’t count them!!!! What a bunch of crap. They are stealing the electiion for Obama!!! They are as bad as the republicans!!!They have no respect for the franchise!!
They are willing to throw the general election!!! Obama will never be elected in the general, Clinton at least has a fair chance. If the DNC would be fair, Clinton could win!!!!!
great love song
