Comments for The R.oB. Opinion

Comment on Back to Life by Fred B

There is a reason that the bible is the most published book ever. We, people, are looking for meaning. Several writers have captured a collection of letters/stories/poems that satisfy our need to understand our purpose on this earth in our lifetime. That said the document people’s weakness and possible strengths along with a few guidelines.

That said my experience of taking a tour of egypt(pyraminds) and turkey (ephes) on one trip to Europe was a deja vu like experience after having some experience reading the bible. People have not changed motivations in 2000 years. The bible in its many translations reflects some of the truth about people…Christian or non-christian.

Comment on Slavery needs more than an apology by R.oB.

brenda and Greg,
Perhaps you should slow down for a minute and examine what was said. The author said black people want 2 things: 1) a real acknowledgement of slavery in this country and, more importantly, 2) addressing prevents a level playing field, like decent schools. How is that a handouts or an attack on your identity? If you read the entire article, you might get a nugget or two on why you are both so defensive…

And when we pump money into all those poor communities and if the people there still do not graduate, get jobs, or stay out of jail, who do we blame? And if we pump money into those communities, won’t folks that are not black also benefit? When we do this, we set back everyone else. When we go full-steam ahead with trying to make everything “equal” how is this fair to those that worked their butts off for what they have to live next to someone that got it all handed to them for nothing? I refuse to believe that anyone that is motivated cannot succeed in this country. Maybe this country needs to stop giving handouts to anyone that extends a hand and only give to those who prove they have truly tried. Our economic mess, in my opinion, is due to corporate greed and many people who spend more time finding ways to “milk the system” than they do looking for a job.

I do not apologize for being a white american. I am what GOD has made me. I am happy with who I am and what I have EARNED in my lifetime. ALL people should be happy for who they are because that is what GOD has made them. They shuld be happy with what they have EARNED in life. Those who are not simply want to continue to play the victim. Perhaps it is easier for them becaus ethey do not have the necessary skills to imagine that they are very CAPABLE of being all that they can be. I apologize to no one unless I hurt them and I have rarely, if ever, done that.I did not sell my family into slavery, neither did my parents, grandparents, gret grandparents and so forth. Slavery has been around forever and continues to this day in one shameful shape or another. Why is it that the black community is the only community dmanding something more than an apology? and from who? Their ancestors are the ones that owe them an apology for selling them onto slavery and selling them to the Portugese. Please understand that slavery did not start in the USA in the 1800’s. Go back further and then realize that apologies are not due form white America.

Like Mayor-for-life Bloomberg’s NYC cigarette taxes, Obama has unwittingly created a black market-like cottage industry—mortgage “helpers”

Good government is always in an arms race with the hustlers.

THIS is what the president and his cronies should be doing to the banking industry as he strips THEM of power and gives it to the Post Office!!!
IF the Post Office was in the credit card game WE wouldn’t be paying more than 5-18% interest, and people in mortgage trouble wouldn’t be victims of that new breed of vultures—the mortgage “gurus”

A lot of sheeple wonder WHY i'm so ANGRY, and the main answer would probably be that i grew up in a Panther neighbourhood, THAT and my grandmother lived next door to Malcolm X's family and my aunt hung out with Bob Marley---MY second novel [ http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/everybody-is-somebodys-jew/5022014 ] shows some of the stuff that happened in 1968...Dr ML Hill is too busy to read it, but e-mail me & i'll send you a copy to check out!

I am interested in a Pro-lifers for Obama/Biden coalition. Where do I sign up? Where do I get those bumper stickers?
Just to reiterate to my fellow Catholics. Obama is against partial birth abortion and late term abortion and has said so. He is also against mental health of the mother being used as a reason for abortion. He did get in trouble with the pro-choice group for his mental health stand. He is definitely against criminalizing women so is pro-choice in that regard.
As far as his voting record goes, most of it is smeared by the Republicans to try to paint him as a baby killer which he is not.
Take the illinois bill. There was already a law on the books which I believe Obama voted for preventing late term and partial birth abortion so the new bill was a moot point and just a sneaky way to try to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
The truth is that voting for a pro-choice candidate only increases abortions. When I cast a vote for Obama I am voting pro-life. He has reached out to Democrats Against Abortion to help us eliminate the causes of abortion so that poor women can keep their babies. In 10 years or less we intend to reduce abortions by 95%. With the Republicans all you get is a pro-life label and an increase in abortions. Get smart. Quit paying lip service to abortion and mocking God. Do something about it. Voting for a Republican only increases it.
I used to think that overturning Roe vs. Wade would be desirable but I have changed my mind after seeing the venom in the religious right. It isn’t hard to imagine the religious right insisting on putting scared little girls to death for committing an abortion and I’m not comfortable with that. As far as the Supreme Court overturning the law, what good would that do? In countries where abortion is illegal, they have as many abortions as they had before and not all of them are recorded. Besides, overturning the law would merely send it to the states who would decide the issue individually. You’d still have some states for it so that’s where desparate people would go. If we really want to end abortion, we need someone like Obama who is willing to work with us to end the economic causes of it. If you want it to go on forever, keep voting for Republicans. Its their ticket to office, their golden goose and if you think they’ve going to end abortion or kill that golden goose you’re dreaming.

LOL. Good answer too Bonita! I hate abortion, but I’m not prepared to criminalize it or even impose my judgment if our society isn’t prepared to support the children that result. Personal responsibility indeed.
