I hate giving this kind of simplistic ridiculous response, but I really can’t think of an easier way to handle somebody’s idea that America is a bad place…

It’s really easy to just go. $1200. Hell I’ll give you the money. I hear Bombay is nice this time of year.

There’s a reason people think the government invented HIV. The government has in the past displayed an almost eager willingness to experiment on minorities and make them sick, as in the experiments on black men that infected them with syphilis just to see what would happen. And I bet some of you out there still think there’s a lot of HIV infection in Africa because Africans are “inferior” in some way, so don’t bother saying we’ve grown up as a nation since then, because we damn sure haven’t.

But I went and looked up the context of Wright’s “God damn America” remarks. Yep. He wasn’t saying, “God will destroy America because of the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays” like Falwell said, or that God would send hurricanes to destroy Florida because of Disney’s Gay Day like Robertson said. Instead, Wright spoke to specific crimes America has committed both against other countries and its own people.

Now… I’m white. I have also been paying attention. I don’t agree with every single thing Wright says, but I don’t agree with every single thing ANYBODY says. But the only reason I don’t believe the U.S. government developed HIV is I don’t think we had the technology to do it. I love my country, but I sure don’t love some of the things it does–we have not been living up to our potential, and we have consciously chosen not to do so, and I don’t know how to make it better. So I don’t blame Wright for being angry.

By the way, Wright ministers to members of his congregation who are sick with AIDS when their own families have abandoned them. Can Fartwell and ROBert$on say the same? Oh wait–one’s dead, and one’s a fossil, and both are/were too busy building hate empires to actually follow Jesus’s example. Oopsie. My bad.

Anyway, I don’t think Obama actually gave a about Wright. I think he only went to Wright’s church for the street cred. As evidenced by the way he dropped Wright like a hot potato when it became politically expedient to do so.

Great post, but don’t even give this asshole credit for coming up with “Bible Spice”. I’ve seen it used on numerous blogs.

WAS ELECTING ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER AS GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA A JOKE?
ARE WE, THE REST OF THE WORLD, BEING PUNK’D?
