Thank you,

Dear Friends,

If you watched Governor Sarah Palin's acceptance speech to the Republican National Convention last night, we're sure you were as disappointed as we were in the tenor and content of the speech.

As Christians, we are called to be respectful and loving toward our neighbors, honoring their intentions even if we disagree. We are also called to be truthful in all things, to "put away falsehood" (Eph 4:25) and refrain from slandering, belittling, or speaking out of contempt for anyone.

If these are the standards God has set for us in our personal lives, our church communities, and our neighborhoods, how much more so should they be for those who choose to be in the public eye? Shouldn't we expect our brothers and sisters in politics to also speak the truth in love and to extend respect and goodwill even to those who disagree with them?

It's because of these standards, and because Governor Palin has been so public about her Christian faith, that the Matthew 25 Network found her address last night at the Republican National Convention so disappointing. We call on her not only as a political figure, but as a prominent Christian, to commit herself to campaigning in good faith, with love and respect for her political opponents and a strong commitment to truth-telling.

Please join religious leaders Brian McLaren, Douglas W. Kmiec, Rev. Dr. Susan B. Thistlethwaite, Vincent Miller, Delores Leckey, Peter Vander Meulen, Rev. Dr. Derrick Harkins, and Sharon Daly by signing the Matthew 25 statement in response to Gov. Palin's speech. View the statement here.

We will share this petition with the McCain-Palin campaign and with the national media. Please add your voice and sign the statement now.

Join us in saying-- this time-- in this election-- we will not allow the politics of fear and division to win the day! Together we will lift up a compassionate religious voice that calls out the very best in every one of us and in the promise that is America.

Thank you for all you do,

The Matthew 25 Network Team

I am PERSONALLY going to hold the Palin Family and John Mc Cains "Un-Holy Union" with Cindy to the standards they claim they have. And there is nothing Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the DNC can do to stop me because I'm doing it away from here from a different venue. They wanna play CHURCH. Let's play CHURCH!

After watching this blasphemous High Tech Klansman Rally aka "RNC Convention", where the "White's Only" GOP surrogates went from calling Obama a "symbolic" candidate to mocking Civil Rights "Community Organizers", I am not refraining from attacking a fake Christian and her fake religious party.

There's no way in the world the Palin Family are Pentecostal. The Bible says not to judge, but it also says "Woe unto those who call good evil and evil good" Susan Palin has done just that from lying about her own record as well as Mc Cain, Obama and Biden all the way to praising the FORNICATION of her daughter and the ADULTERY of Mc Cain as a good thing.

That's it. They wanna play CHURCH. They got it . They wanna talk "VALUES" ? They got it . They are gonna have a whole lot of explaining to do because I'm hitting the Evangelical Right Wings Blogs and I'm gonna ask about those "Christian Values" and I'm going to make them think really hard about the Palin and Mc Cain family.

SHAME ! SHAME ! SHAME !

Put My Mama On The Ticket !

FreedomOfSpeech — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:03:27 EDT

My mama was a stay at home mom who had 10 kids and none of us became sluts.

My mama was a volunteer at my school district all throughout my days in Elementary School.

My mama vacationed in Canada in Toronto every Summer so she has more Foreign Policy Experience than Governor Palin.

My mama is from Little Rock Arkansas and loves her some Jesus.

So, put her on the ticket or else you are all SEXIST!

Did We All Miss Sarah Palins Speech ?

FreedomOfSpeech — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:55:04 EDT

I have to document this because it's a pattern that I have been seeing and it's driving me crazy. The Associated Press has already written the narrative on Palins speech before she even gives it. They do this all the time. They have already told us how the speech is received and have set the meme and talking points before anyone has even had a chance to hear the speech.

What the hell kind of country are we living in when the Associated Press and by extension , the Main Stream Media dictates what is on the minds of the American people before we even have the opportunity to even form an opinion?

Here is the proof.

I want you all to see this because I promise you, it will be changed more than five or six times before the night is through. I don't know about you, but I think this is not only alarming, but disgusting. This is not Journalism. This is pure propaganda.

I keep hearing Media pundits and Republicans complain that the majority of criticism aimed at Sarah Palin is coming from LIBERAL WOMEN. That's not exactly Breaking News. There's a simple explanation for it .

We have something built inside that not many others have.

I look forward to Sarah Palins speech tonight. I really do.

Reid not happy with Lieberman's speech

FreedomOfSpeech — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:06:13 EDT

Uh, yeah. Ya think ?

SNIP:

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was not happy with Sen. Joe Lieberman’s speech before the Republican National Convention Tuesday night.

"Senator Reid was very disappointed in Senator Lieberman’s speech tonight,” Reid spokesman, Jim Manley, told CNN. “As the American people have made very clear, the last thing this country needs is another four years of the same old failed Bush-McCain policies of the past."

In particular, the Nevada Democrat took issue with Lieberman’s assertion that Obama has not crossed party lines.

Lieberman’s statement that “Senator Barack Obama is a gifted and eloquent young… but, my friends, eloquence is no substitute for a record, not in these tough times for America” also drew Reid’s ire, Manley said.

So, what are you going to do about it Reid? That's the question.

If you are watching Fred "TV Show Star" Thompson talk about John Mc Cain right now, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. I've already counted about 25 bold faced lies.

And if you want to look at John Mc Cains characterl concerning our men and women serving in the Military today , look at his current voting record and you will also see why the majority of our US Troops are supporting Barack Obama 2 to 1.

Fred Thompson should stick to chasing down the skirts of gold diggers.

John Mc Cain: Putting "Campaign" First

FreedomOfSpeech — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:43:34 EDT

The more I learn about Sarah Palin , the more confident that I am in the Democrats chances this Fall. Not because of the fake petty debate over the so called "Mommy Wars" that are utterly irrelevant though quite reflective of her parenting skills. But , seriously, who cares about what Biscuit and Trail do in their private lives? They are not on the ticket . Sarah is. Focus on Sarah .

John Mc Cain just showed the American people that despite his patriotic rhetoric and sad , life's story , he does not put his "country first" and does not and will not make decisions based on the interest of the American people. Despite the slogan , John Mc Cain puts his campaign first. This 72 year old man , who's already showing signs of confusion and deterioration chooses , as his running mate, someone who is unqualified to serve. Why ?

Because he's not putting country first , he's putting campaign first. Even in his mental state, there's no way he truly believes that Sarah Palin's so called experience is in any way shape or form , tantamount to Barack Obama's experience , judgment and accomplishments. So, there's only one thing and one thing only that drove Mc Cain to pick Palin.

WINNING in the Fall.

Mc Cain thinks that the Anti-CHOICE religious extremists Sarah Palin can deliver for him the right wing evangelicals and female voters he so desperately needs in the Fall. But Mc Cain has miscalculated the potential success of this strategy. It has already backfired as women are coming out expressing outrage at the very notion that all one has to do is put a woman on the ticket and pop, we will vote Mc Cain.

When you look past the swarm of distraction that is Baby Gate , and take a look at Palins positions on the actual issues, it's clear that she is not only unqualified, but she's a right-wing nut. She makes claims that she has done all this stuff for the people of Alaska and has taken positions that are Maverick-Like in nature , but the record shows , she is not.

She didn't oppose the Bridge to Nowhere. She supported it. She didn't fight special interest , she hired lobbyists to get millions of dollars in earmarks for Alaska. She did not make the decisions necessary regarding the Alaskan National Guard. The Pentagon did. When asked , Republican surrogates cannot answer the most important question" What has Palin specifically done that makes her qualified?"

It's a simple question but one that has yet to be answered. Instead, we hear talk of "executive experience" , unproven claims of "Maverickness" , and when that fails, we get attacks on Obama and Biden in an effort to halt the debate. The truth is, they don't know anything about this woman and cannot defend her claims of Maverickness, but are forced to defend this stupid decision by John Mc Cain.

So, I say we all stop talking about Biscuit Palins pregnancy and Trail Palin being in the Military and focus on Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin alone. The truth is the Republicans and the Mc Cain Campaign don't want to have that debate. Don't let them change the subject and not answer questions about her record. Her record has more holes in it than Swiss Cheese and the Republican know it. So, let the sun shine on SARAH PALIN !

OMG! Glenn Beck Just Called Palin "Whte Trsh"

FreedomOfSpeech — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:41:50 EDT

I was just watching the Situation Room ( By Mistake ) and Glenn Beck was on there talking about politicians who pretend they are in touch with the people and he then said,

"You know. I'm just gonna say it. I'm Wh*te Tr*sh and there are a lot of Americans out there who are Wh*te Tr*sh and finally ,we have someone like Palin who's just like us !"

:O ( WTF ?)

I don't know if he was joking or not, but I can't believe he said that. Then Wolf Blitzer said,

"I don't think you are Wh*te Tr*sh. I have a lot of respect for you"

To which Glenn Beck retorted,

"Oh, yeah. I'm Wh*te Tr*sh"

I'm not in a position to state whether or not I am inclined to agree with Glenn Beck's assertion of himself, Palin or White Americans for that matter, because I am not White. But, I do think the entire conversation was inappropriate for television and I don't think racism of any type , whether it's self inflicted or not , has any place on National T.V.

I propose, that we all send CNN a little e-mail and let them know how inappropriate that kind of talk is and urge them to stay away from such talk. My view , is this. If we all can't use that word, no one should use that word. To me "Wh*te Tr*sh" is the same as "N*gger".

It's a racial slur and I don't think anyone should be getting into the habit or getting comfortable using any racial slurs whether it's a joke or not. Even if the person saying it thinks they are some kind of comedian, it has no place on the airways. Period. Ya know ?

So, I'm calling it out for what it is.

Putting Palin On The Ticket Is Sexism At Its Worse !

FreedomOfSpeech — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:24:57 EDT

Yes, you read the title correctly.

John Mc Cain put Palin on his ticket because she is a woman who he believes will gain votes from other women simply because she is a woman. That is a insult and a slap in the face to all women. He did not put her on the ticket because she was Governor of "Low Populated" Alaska . He did not put her on the ticket because she would be able to step in as Commander in Chief if he were to pass away or become mentally unfit to carry out his term which is more likely to happen than not. He put her on the ticket because she is a woman. Pundits call this a gamble for a reason. It can , and I believe will , cause a major backlash because Americas women are not stupid.

John Mc Cain could kill over in his presidency let along tomorrow , and the Republicans honestly think THIS one right here can step in and govern ?

And they talk about Barack Obama not being experienced enough to govern ? That killed that argument right there.
