................And Another Thing
I am sick and tired of hearing about some people thinkiong Barack Obama is the AntiChrist. I was reading the local news today and my favorite editorialist was talking to some woman who said she's voting for Obama, but he's the AntiChrist.
Didn't a while back people considered Martin Luther King to be the antiChrist? It's silly. And all it does by saying that is offer fear.
Barack Obama is a human being. I don't consider him to be a messiah like figure, or whatever the conservative Republican biased media plays up on it. Those who think he is are just afraid that an African American man can assume such power in their lifetime they are willing to do anything to cut him down. Therefore, we have the New Yorker cover, FOX News's racist shenanigans, and whatever the right wing Republican election voting machine can throw at them. And what better way to channel fear than to use a sacred text that has been misused that way to score votes for the status quo party.
Isn't it time we stop letting fear get the best of us? All Barack Obama has offered us is the chance to do better than we have been doing for the past 8 years. And I think he can do it, he can actually do it. I watched his foreign policy speech today through email, and he is a step in the right direction for this country and this world. Why is hope a bad thing?
I don't like to be afraid. The only thing I try to be afraid of is fear. FDR said: "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Isn't it time we let the fear that has controlled out lives for the past 8 years go? It's a wasteful feeling. Fear is exactly what the terrorists want, and we are better than to give into it. I don't like people talking about something that is just wasteful to talk about. They may quote the Bible, and not saying there isn't spiritual worth in the book, but, the Earth didn't end on 06/06/06, the Y2K thing was a hoax, sure, we have global warming, but with Obama, we can strive to fix it.
I think Obama inspirational words are true as his charisma. You cannot build a team back up without inspiring them to do so. Barack Obama is doing exactly that: inspiring America to build itself back up to where we need to be in order to feel good about ourselves and the world around us.
Thanks.

Thanks so much !
I wonder how many people in this world have been called the AntiChrist? Probably about the same number as there have been people who predicted the end of the world.
If the world had ended as many times as it was predicted none of us would be here several times over. It's silly nonsense.
