Fresh Off Black Saturday, Clinton Camp Moves On To Virginia
After stinging defeats in three states last night, Sen Clinton moved on to a state that’s not expected be much friendlier — Virginia, which along with Maryland and the District of Columbia, votes on Tuesday.
While large African American populations in DC, its Maryland suburbs, and Baltimore are expected to deliver those two primaries for Obama, Clinton has targeted Virginia as a place where she can pick up some delegates. The campaign cites large communities of military families and government workers — two groups she thinks she can do well with. She’s also hoping to score points in the rural and economically depressed Southwest and Center of the state.
She campaigned in Manassas today, just 45 minutes outside of Washington — never once mentioning yesterdays losses or today’s upcoming caucus in Maine. Instead, she aimed squarely for those groups – stressing her economic plan, government reform, and military issues. “I’m proud to be supported by a group of retired military officers who believe it is imperative we have a commander in chief starting next year who respects and admires the sacrifice, the heroism, and the skill of the American Military,” she said.
She also sharpened a line contrasting her policy specifics with Obama’s speechifying that has become a regular closer on the stump. “People say to me, you’re so specific. Why don’t you ive us one of those great rhetorical flourishes and get everyone all worked up?” she said, drawing cheers from the crowd of about 1500. “I gotta tell you. I want you to hold me accountable. I want you to know what I intend to do as your president.”

Obama aide wants
talks with terrorists
Foreign adviser’s ‘anti-Israel policies,’
sympathy for Hamas, raise concerns

JERUSALEM ? While officials here largely maintain a policy against interfering in U.S. election politics, some Israeli security officials quietly expressed “concern” about an adviser to Sen. Barack Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.
The officials noted Robert Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.
Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.
Malley’s contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Bill Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat’s refusal to make peace for the talks’ failure.
(Story continues below)
“We are noting with concern some of Obama’s picks as advisers, particularly Robert Malley who has expressed sympathy to Hamas and Hezbollah and offered accounts of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that don’t jibe with the facts,” said one security official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The official stated he was not authorized to talk to the media about U.S. politics, noting Israeli officials are instructed to “stay out” of American political affairs.
In February 2006, after Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament and amid a U.S. and Israeli attempt to isolate the Hamas-run Palestinian Authority, Malley wrote an op-ed for the Baltimore Sun advocating international aid to the terror group’s newly formed government.
“The Islamists (Hamas) ran on a campaign of effective government and promised to improve Palestinians’ lives; they cannot do that if the international community turns its back,” wrote Malley in a piece entitled, “Making the Best of Hamas’ Victory.”
Malley contended the election of Hamas expressed Palestinian “anger at years of humiliation and loss of self-respect because of Israeli settlement expansion, Arafat’s imprisonment, Israel’s incursions, Western lecturing and, most recently and tellingly, the threat of an aid cut off in the event of an Islamist success.”
Malley said the U.S. should not “discourage third-party unofficial contacts with [Hamas] in an attempt to moderate it.”
Hamas is responsible for scores of deadly shootings, suicide bombings and rocket attacks aimed at Jewish civilian population centers. The past few weeks alone, Hamas militants took credit for firing more than 200 rockets into Israel.
Hamas’ official charter calls for the murder of Jews and destruction of Israel.
Hamas maintained a national unity government with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas until the Palestinian leader dissolved the agreement and deposed the Hamas prime minister last year.
In an op-ed in the Washington Post two weeks ago coauthored by Arafat adviser Hussein Agha, Malley ? using could be perceived as anti-Israel language ? urged Israel’s negotiating partner Abbas to reunite with Hamas.
“A renewed national compact and the return of Hamas to the political fold would upset Israel’s strategy of perpetuating Palestinian geographic and political division,” wrote Malley.
He further petitioned Israel to hold talks with Hamas.
“An arrangement between Israel and Hamas could advance both sides’ interests,” wrote Malley.
In numerous other op-eds, Malley advocates a policy of engagement with Hamas.
After the breakdown of the Camp David talks, Malley wrote a lengthy New York Times piece that mostly blamed Israel and the U.S. for the breakdown of the negotiations.
Malley was a special assistant to Clinton for Arab-Israeli affairs and was a member of the U.S. peace team during the Camp David negotiations. He currently serves as director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at the International Crisis Group, which is partially funded by billionaire and Obama campaign contributor George Soros, who also serves on the board of the Crisis Group.
Ed Lasky, a contributor to the American Thinker blog, calls Malley a “[Palestinian] propagandist” who, he charged, bends “the truth to serve an agenda that is marked by anti-Israel bias. … Malley’s writings strike me as being akin to propaganda.”
Lasky points out Malley’s father, Simon Malley, was a personal friend of Arafat and wrote in support of numerous struggles against Western countries. Simon Malley founded Afrique Asie, a French magazine that was known for its advocacy for “liberation” struggles throughout the world, including the Palestinian cause.
Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, called Simon Malley a “sympathizer” of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which, headed by Arafat, carried out numerous terror attacks.
“[Robert] Malley has seemingly followed in his father’s footsteps: He represents the next generation of anti-Israel activism,” wrote Lasky.
Obama spiritual adviser also anti-Israel?
Obama the past few days has taken note of his growing negative image within the pro-Israel and Jewish activist community, reaching out yesterday to a coalition of Jewish and Israeli newspapers.
Obama told Israel’s Haaretz daily there is a “constant virulent campaign” being waged against him, aimed particularly at weakening support among Democrat voters within the Jewish community.
Obama said “false” e-mail campaigns calling him Muslim and accusing him of not pledging allegiance to the U.S. have been especially visible in the Jewish community.
The presidential hopeful urged Haaretz and U.S. Jewish newspapers to use their “megaphone” so people can hear “from the horse’s mouth” that anti-Israel accusations against him are “unfounded.”
Mass e-mail distributions have pointed out Obama’s spiritual adviser, Jeremiah Wright Jr. of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, recently presented Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan with a “Lifetime Achievement” award. Farrakhan has expressed consistent anti-Israel views.
Wright, who reportedly married Obama and baptized his daughters, has called for divestment from Israel and refers to Israel as a “racist” state.”
Obama called Wright’s heralding of Farrahkan a “mistake” but has not spoken out against Wright’s views regarding Israel.
Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick noted in a column last week, “Obama has taken no steps to moderate his church’s anti-Israel invective. Obama’s affiliation with Wright aligns with his choice of financial backers and foreign policy advisers. To varying degrees, all of them exhibit hostility towards Israel and support for appeasing jihadists.”

Obama’s pastor disses Natalee Holloway
‘White girl goes off and gives it up’ in Aruba, preacher pal says

Natalee Holloway
Sen. Barack Obama’s longtime friend and spiritual adviser trashed the memory of a missing and presumed dead American teenage girl, according to church publications reviewed by WND.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the controversial minister of Obama’s church in Chicago, cited the case of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba in complaining about what he sees as the media’s bias in covering white victims of crime over black victims.
“Black women are being raped daily in Darfur, Sudan, in the Congo and in Sub-Saharan Africa. That doesn’t make news,” Wright said in the August 2005 edition of Trumpet Magazine, a publication of his Trinity United Church of Christ.
But, “One 18-year-old white girl from Alabama gets drunk on a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and ‘gives it up’ while in a foreign country, and that stays in the news for months!” he added. “Maybe I am missing something!”
(Story continues below)
The circumstances involving the coed’s disappearance remain unclear, and the case remains unsolved. Holloway left Mountain Brook, Ala., on a May 2005 senior class trip to Aruba.
Barack Obama
Attempts to reach her family for comment were unsuccessful. But her mother, Beth Holloway, has written a book, “Loving Natalee,” in which she reveals her daughter named Jesus Christ as one of the most influential people in her life in a trove of writings she found in her bedroom.
In the same 2005 church publication, Wright suggested “white America” had the 9/11 attacks coming, while calling for business “divestment from Israel,” which he refers to as a “racist” state along with America.
“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” he wrote on page 7. “White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared,’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns.”
Obama says he is “proud” of Wright and values their 20-year friendship.
Though Wright has nurtured Obama’s political career as a close adviser and mentor, the Democrat presidential hopeful says they don’t agree on everything. Wright married Obama and baptized his daughters.
Louis Farrakhan
In the November/December 2007 issue of Trumpet, Wright sang the praises of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has described whites as “blue-eyed devils” and Jews as “bloodsuckers.”
“He brings a perspective that is helpful and honest,” Wright said. “Minister Farrakhan will be remembered as one of the 20th and 21st century giants of the African-American religious experience.”
Wright then held Farrakhan up as a pillar of “integrity.”
“His integrity and honesty have secured him a place in history as one of the nation’s most powerful critics,” he continued. “His love for Africa and African-American people has made him an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose.”
Farrakhan’s photo is splashed across the cover of the church magazine, which gushes “the Minister truly epitomized greatness.”
On Nov. 2, 2007, Wright presented Farrakhan with a “lifetime achievement” award during a Trumpet gala held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. The tribute included a three-and-a-half minute video lionizing “the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.”
“For his commitment to truth, education and leadership, we honor Minister Louis Farrakhan with the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award,” the video announces.
Last week, Obama distanced himself from Farrakhan, but did not distance himself from Wright or disavow his praise for Farrakhan.

Now—Florida and Michigan are Clintons
Some of her possible strategies:
- She can start talking like a southern plantation worker again, or better yet, start speaking ebonics.
- She can fake a tear and start crying openly with a microphone and television camera on her again.
- She can call on Bill to try and sell himself as the new white MLK Jr., so long as he doesn’t lose his cool and pull out the race card on Obama. Kind of like an oxymoron of an oxymoron.
- She can explain to black voters that she really puts their vote in front of the 30 million hispanics she is courting.
- She can release a new rap song on YouTube, called “Phat Bill and his Funky Cold Medina”
Not walking the Talk. He after 20 years has yet to unite his church of racist preacher.
So SAD but True.
Here is an outline of Obama’s pastor and how he feels about white people and his thoughts in general. Obama had the video part removed because he did not want everyone to recognize his pastors voice. And he is not a sneaky back door politician ha? You Obama-Osama lovers better wake up!!

CARL…Take your behind to the youtube video that Obama had someone (hmmm) take down, but you can still read the outline- Now, maybe we won’t have to listen to your ridiculous thoughts. Or, better yet, go smoke some wacky weed with Obama!!
http://sweetness-light.com/archive/a-message-of-hate-from-obamas-pastor-via-youtube
i would like to know why no one has brought out the fact obama is a muslin and can not even say the national anthem or or pledge the american flag. who wants a commanding chief of our arm forces whom can not put his hand on the holy bible to swear in office. what is wrong with the people whom are thinking of their skin instead whom a person is and what they can do for our country. someone needs to speak up and do the right thing here its really sad the media keeps on hillary they should be getting the turth out their for the people so they will do whats right for our country. am not saying hillary is the one but i tell you one thing she would be better than someone whom does not believe in God Bless America.
RICK HONCHO…You need to follow Carl ~ bye bye now!!
Hey Southern Girl, I thought they taught manners down there. Must be I offended your sense of logic and fairplay. I’m glad.
No…I just take offense to gullible and naive Muslim lovers!!
So Hillary is targeting the military and military families and government workers in Virginia. Dream on, Hillary and Bill. I was a “government worker”, now retired, and I can tell you, Bill Clinton was very unpopular in these areas. I doubt anyone has changed their mind about the Clintons.
I notice the Clintonistas are out in full force today trying to besmirch Mr. Obama. Four big wins for Mr. Obama yesterday!! Today we have the Clintonistas crawling out of the woodwork flaunting their slander and slash-and-burn tactics. Give it up Clintonistas. “WE, THE PEOPLE” ARE NOT BUYING YOUR GARBAGE. The ONLY THING YOU ARE DOING IS GIVING US MORE AMMUNITION AS TO JUST WHY WE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR THE CLINTONS!!
NinaK…take a hike with Carl and Rick Honcho. Like we all believe you worked in goverment…SURE!!! Some people will just say anything when they are nothing but Muslim lovers!!
Aaron Bruns,
As the high school journalist you are, I know you think long and hard about your “catchy” headlines.
So when Barack Obama, America’s first African American Presidential candidate who has a real chance of actually becoming President, handily wins all three Democratic primaries on Saturday, why do you choose the words: “Black Saturday” to describe Obama’s win and Clinton’s loss?
Are you being cute? Ignorant? Or something else?
Just asking.
Here’s Hillary’s top ten list;
10) Name David Shuster my Press Secretary.
9) Appoint Monica Lewinsky Secretary of State.
7) Fire every United States Attorney and replace them with the Rose Law Firm.
6) Appoint Jennifer Flowers Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
5) Give green cards to the first ten million to come out of the shadows.
4) Appoint Sandy Berger Attorney General.
3) Appoint Tony Rezko Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
2) Appoint Emeril Lagasse Treasury Secretary- Because pork fat rules.
1) Apologize once again for a failed Health Care Plan.
Hey TheRepub you dolt. Bruns is embedded with the Clinton campaign, so his job is to report on the Clinton perspective. If you want the Obama perspective, look at Ms. Kapp’s postings. I guess you don’t understnd the purpose or parameters of this blog. Wise up.
SUPER DAVE—If you think your post is funny or informative then you do indeed need to lay off the drugs!!
I tried them once, but I didn’t inhale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sara Sota– You are another one that has no knowledge. Just because Aaron is embedded with Clinton does not mean he is her supporter and the same with Bonnie Kap.
Yeah…sure Super Dave, I think your doing more than not inhaling..
No ……But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and I swear I didn’t have sexual relations with that woman either.
Did you wipe the dust off of your teeny tiny wee wee?
I did leave a stain on her blue dress and left in Hillary’s closet.
This Super dave is exactly what is wrong with our country today.
Yea……..it’s all just a conspiracy.
The comments on this article are HILARIOUS! The Southern Girl with her racism, Vicki claiming that superdelegates represent the will of the people, the random guy with the laughable accusations that Obama is an anti-American Muslim — that stuff totally cracks me up! Where do you come up with that? Also, the woman who doesn’t know “there” from “their” and can’t even spell “Muslim” correctly; Carl who can’t form a complete sentence — that kind of writing is comedic gold. You all really bring out the ridiculous and hateful truth of the kind of people who would say that stuff and really mean it. Let’s all have a good laugh at those poor, ignorant idiots.
Keep it real! Peace.
Long time Hillary Clinton confidante Patti Solis Doyle has resigned as campaign manager. Bill must be throwing temper tantrums.
all you haters posing as “christians” have no idea how ridiculous and hypocritical you are, and that is why even conservatives are starting to ignore you. guess what? you cant fight hatred with hatred. and you cant scare people who are not afraid to die by threatening to kill them! when you do, you get jerusalem, you get iraq, you get never-ending revenge and innocent blood in the streets. wake up and study the teachings of the person you claim to be your savior, because until you get it, you’re not saved at all.

Are you saying that the 18 states in which Mr. Obama won are Muslin lovers?
Mr. Obama is not a Muslim, he is a Christian.
It is dumb, uninformed people who make the outragious comments that you do. Like I said, Mr. Obama won Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington State, and the Virgin Islands - with HUGE margins over Hillary. Now, you, the Clintonistas have come out in droves from the woodwork with your stupid and untrue garbage! You sound just like Hillary, Bill, their campaign, and their minions!!!
Frankly, this blog is counter productive to the movement to the presidential nomination. However, I am proudly serving my country in the ARMY for 6 years and counting till retirement. And frankly from my perspective, as well as a collective in whole in the armed forces, we still remember how the Clintons treat the proud men and women who have been serving from the Gulf War till present. Which is why I will not want another Clinton as my commander in chief ever while im in service to this country that I love. Hooah!!!
Earlier today Hillary Clinton discussed her new book coming out this month titled;
Sex-Lies-and if only they had Video Tape?

It is the Clintons and their supporters that say and do anything to win the the White House. You are all ruthless, liars, and bigots. Get a life!
This is just out on the Maine caucus. 57% of the votes coming in go to Barack Obama to 43% going to Clinton from the Democratic party.
Ninak,
Your another one that needs to take advantage of Hillary’s low interest loans for education purposes!
o and if you find yourself obsessed with the sex life of the clintons (one-yuck, and two-it was ten years ago) then you might as well hold up a big sign that says “I AM SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED”. if you care more about that stuff than WAR and the erosion of the BILL OF RIGHTS (the only bill we should be talking about) than you have a lot in common with the fundamentalist muslims.grow up buddy. im not even for hillary but ad hominum attacks dont say anything except “me no think so good” OBAMA ‘08 THE HATERS AINT READY
MARCUS…That is a flat out lie and you are not in the military. My whole family is in the military and if you were standing infront of them they would give you a peice of their mind. And, IF you are in the military why don’t you tell the American people how the middle east CHANTS for Obama? Why is that? IF you were in the middle east you would know that peice of information!!
Hillary’s Universal Health Care: I carry my own insurance coverage and pay $167.00 a month, plus I get the best health and medical coverage available to me. I am totally satisfied. Is Hillary going to impose her Universal Health Care on me when I DO NOT WANT IT? Is she going to garnish my wages to FORCE ME to get what she is offering? Just how much is she going to GRAB from my wages? Americans in my category need to take a close look at this!
I notice that more and more Hillary is stealing Mr. Obama’s themes. She has not originality. She campaigns on her “experience” based on her husbands experience; she steals themes from Mr. Edward’s and Mr. Obama. Now, she, too is saying “Yes, we can”. Hillary has no integrity; she is ruthless and will DO AND SAY ANYTHING to get back to the White House.
Marcus;
Thanks You for your service to our Country. People are just ignorant to the fact that Hillary does not like the military.Just go and ask Col. Hunt about Hillary.

Thank you Marcus! Great news!!!!
In response to Dee, how are you to tell me , and E-5(p) by the grace of God that im not in the US Army stationed in Ft. Riley, KS, who will probably deploy in mid-summer. Very unpatriotic to chatise anybody in the armed forces. And sad to say, even still I would like to meet your family and really see what the opinion about our country and how this election will effect us. And frankly i detest the notion that you speak on behalf of the individual you supposedly say are in service now.
ummmm, if half of my relatives had been blown up, i would chant anything to get the occupiers out of my town. reagan was president when saddam gassed his people, he let it go because they were in business with him. What right does the USA have to say we will “fix” iraq? o we killed tens of thousands of civilians, sorry! we meant well, you understand. but they dont count as much as american lives, you understand. collateral damage, you understand. o is this the second largest oil reserve in the world? wow, i can assure you that didnt influence our moral imperative! sorry we had to kill you to liberate you, freedom’s not free you know.
What’s sad to know is that over the past Christmas holiday last, I had to pull funeral detail to fellow battle buddies who have die in Iraq. It’s sad and heartening to see the mother, father, spouse or child ask is that my son, or is that my husband, or father, and it’s sickening. I hated that detail and ask myself will my 2 year old son ask that of me or my wife wonder what will happen if I wasn’t around. Many of my friends have to for freedom’s cause in Iraq, but at what cost. People say that we are winning the war in Iraq, but at what cost. The price of losing so many loved, the traumatic effects of PTSD or mTBI. How have i manage to keep my family straight through these knowing my wife is crying that I may have to go again. Has America lost sight of 9-11 and focus their attentions on something on a country which had no dealing in the death of over 3000 people back then. But take a look at this while we lost countless lives when those towers fell, at the same times the numbers are matched by almost 4000 brave men and women who proudly serve thier country. Many of who just graduated high school. Think about it America. Set the troops up for success. I strive to be technically and tactically proficient in all that i do and train my troops the same way. Please give us a war that sets us up for success or not one at all.
“Please give us a war that sets us up for success or not one at all.” marcus, you said it best yourself. bush and rummy did not set you guys up for success, and now 5 years later you can see it for yourself. its not america’s fault that its not working, we just want our troops home. i admire your resolve and loyalty and sacrifice, but dont blame anyone but your leaders for the mess were in… “NOT ONE AT ALL” PLEASE
Do not be misinformed; There is little to no correlation to Obama’s wins and the black votes. I will post the data below and welcome any challenge. Fact: Obama is actually Black and White .
Below shows the States Obama won, the percentage of the victory, and the population of African Americans (AA) in that state. Obama also leads the popular vote. U.S. AA population is 13%.

—————————————–
Yes, I heard it this morning. Yet another sign of chaos in her campaign!! Hillary cannot run anything! The way she, BIll, and their minions have run her compaign is a good indication of how she’d run the country!!! Chaotic, confused, disorganized, mismanagement of campaign funds, no cohesiveness, lies, distortions, etc. I believe “we, the people” have finally seen just how inept Hillary really is!!
Marcus== get in touch with reality…stop embarrassing our country!! Your comments are stories and nothing more!!
Marcus… I for one would like to Thank you for your service to our country. I have a son in the Coast Guard and I thank God everyday that he will not go over to Iraq. However, I do believe that Obama has strong Muslim and Islamic ties and he scares the skiddles out of me. I just think we should play this out safe and put a President in the white house that we don’t have so many questions and concerns about. This is not a time to gamble with the future of our country.
Again, Thank You for your service and may God bless you and all of our American soldiers!
Oops… I forgot to tell you Marcus that on Extreme Makeover tonight they are building a new home for a single military father who lost his leg in the war. I cry through all those shows and I am sure this will be a tear jerker also…
florida gal, if bush had not cut benefits for veterans (which he has, look it up), maybe they would not have to go on extreme home makeovers for a house… think Think THINK!!!… JESUS DID NOT BELIEVE IN WAR. God Bless America? What about the rest of the world? If we claim the right to kill people because we assume God is on our side, then what are we fighting? the “enemy” feels the same way! why dont you “christians” understand that the foundation of your pro-war argument is an un-christian double standard? are we all not children of God? is it our place to say who is and is not? TURN OFF YOUR TV AND WAKE UP. Your fear of Barack Obama is ridiculous and racist, whether you realize it or not. THE REASON THAT “THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO GAMBLE WITH OUR COUNTRY” IS BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU SUPPORTED WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOW WE HAVE EVEN MORE ENEMIES THAN BEFORE!! AND NOW YOU THINK SOMEONE LIKE HIM WILL SOMEHOW END THIS?!? Save me Jesus, from your followers

Clinton has said OVER and OVER, apparently you aren’t listening, that if you HAVE insurance and are satisfied NOTHING CHANGES. You will not be forced to change plans. Her plan ensures that those without insurance will get it - by shared responsibility.
redneck in nyc,
With all due respect, please don’t jump on my butt for your own beliefs. I was simply telling Marcus about the show tonight on Extreme Makeover, who by the way, helps everyone not just the military. You choose to believe what you want and I will choose to believe what I want. That is what is great about America, we all have the freedom to make our own choices. And, I never said I supported the war and I don’t. I have a son of my own in the Coast Guard, and like I said, I thank God everyday that he won’t have to go over to Iraq! I also believe in Jesus but I don’t go to church, I pray from my home and at my parents grave site. That is also my choice! I also don’t have to turn off my T.V. because this is America and again it’s my choice! And, you don’t need jesus to save my followers because people can follow who they wish and besides I am a person you would appreciate and like to have as a friend, so I take offense to that statement!! I will help anyone, white, black, hispanic, latino etc… that needs my help because I love people and everyone has something special to give of themselves from their heart!
I do research and I have seen good and bad things about Obama and if I choose not to vote for him that is my constitutional right, without any outside influences, just as I don’t and have not forced my opinions on anyone else.
Have a good evening….
