The Anti-Christ?

Am I the only one who gets a little creeped-out over this stuff? I read yesterday about the vendors outside the DNC hawking souvenirs which have Barack Obama depicted in Holy and Divine ways. Ewwww. If ever there was a President less holy than Barack Obama it would have to be Bill Clinton. Oh. Yeah. He’s on deck this week too. Double ewwww. | Read More »

I can’t wait until next week. Now that the Republican National Convention has unfolded before us – now that real leaders have showed us the map to prosperity and told us about the journey their individual states have taken toward the goal of more and better – after the nominees showed us the plan and bid us come along for the ride, I just | Read More »

There are, I’m sure, places in America when this kind of behavior wouldn’t raise an eyebrow, but because I live in a primarily black Mississippi community, the looks I get are sometimes quite unfriendly.

Nailing the Black Vote – Or not
