Wow.
I guess I missed that the first time.
Are you serious, or is this some sort of metaphor for something else?
Because if you are serious, then I'm pretty sure I could drum up a few thousand examples of "leaders asking for unity between the races, between left and right..."
It is all they friggin talk about man. All of them. It's what you want to hear. And have you seen it yet?
I do admire your faith, but,
"I beseech you in the bowels of christ, think it possible you may be mistaken."
Faith is good to have in your friends and family because you know them and have had interactions from which they gained your faith. I have faith in my parents, my siblings, and many of my friends, but only beacuse I
truly know them.
I defy anyone here to vome foreward who has any personal interactions w/ Obama.
Until then we can only form opinions based on his public actions, which imo do not warant blind faith.
You must have a decent bullsh*t detector if you have found your way here to Avalon, so do your homework and fire up the old bullsh*t detector. Obama should really set it off.
What has changed for me is my ideas about the people who voted for Obama. I am overjoyed to see so many who want to see not just change but a better way, but Obama has only offered "change" thus far.
When he diverts from the status quo, addresses all the legit concerns I mentioned, and then offers a plan
real change, then I will jump on your bandwagon full force. But I realise that is a very tall order fro any politician.
I'm sorry that I have been somewhat aggressive here, but I am so wary of the repercussions of politicians that have the ability to elicit blind faith, no matter what they look like.
