Sometimes it is hard to take some of your comments seriously
Harry
because you are so adamantly opposed to anything other than the
liberal way.

Thinking Cheney is trash is hardly "liberal."
No more than thinking Al Sharpton is trash is "conservative."
You can defend either if you wish. Pick one.

---------------------------------------

If you haven't, read up on Sharpton's past.

I just did that. Turns out he's cleaner than I thought. Don't care
for
him much, as he's a "race man." Not into that. And he's too loud.
But I see only misdemeanor convictions related to protests. Didn't
come
off well in the Brawley incident either, maligning people, then not
paying up in the civil suit. But nothing like this.

War, death and destruction.
So what's your exact beef with little Al Sharpton? Too uppity?

------------------------------------------

No, not too "uppity". I think he's a phony and a racist who uses
his
credentials as a "Reverend" to influence and persuade people in
political matters.
He was ordained as a child as a Pentecostal minister. The type of
"ordination" he received in this faith is not main stream
Christianity
unless you believe in speaking in tongues and the ability to heal
the
sick and raise the dead. It's not based on any formal education in
theology. Sharpton attended college but dropped out after two
years.

I watch his show "Politics Nation" from time to time mainly because
he
can be quite funny sometimes. But usually I have to switch off to
the
History Channel or Discovery Channel after a while because he starts
to
get under my skin with some of his biased comments. I thought it
was
interesting that in a recent advertisement for MSNBC, the "Reverend"
recites part of the Pledge of Allegiance, purposely leaving out the
"under God" part. Thought that was interesting for someone who
claims
to be a minister in a Christian faith. But, that's just me.



The pledge was written by a socialist minister and then spoken for
many
years without the "under god" bull****. That phrase wasn't said during
my grammar school days in New Haven, either, when in 1954 Congress
moronically worked those two words into the pledge.

In fact, by 1957, the pledge was dropped from recitation entirely in
junior high because of those two words, which many, even those who
claimed to be religious, found offensive for any number of reasons.

We didn't have "school prayer," either, for the same reasons.

--------------------------------------------------

So, you figure that the "Rev" dropped the phrase because he found it
offensive?
