What is destroying America? Well, that assumes that America is being destroyed to begin with. But assuming it is, what is destroying it? State Representative Sally Kern (R Oklahoma) has it figured out: the homosexual agenda. It is always nice when you can point to someone else as the problem with our country. Don’t take me wrong, I don’t support the homosexual agenda but I don’t think it is the problem with America either. Perhaps, before we start blaming others we should take a close look at ourselves. We should clean up our contributions to the problems in America before we start slinging blame. Are there ways in which we (and by “we” I mean the Church) are ruining this country? I’m pretty sure there are.

Obama’s pastor, who, I might note, is not running for office, has made some pretty foolish and inflammatory comments. He said, basically, that blacks should not say “God bless America” but “God damn America.” He asserted that we had 9/11 coming because of our own brand of terrorism. Good thing Pastor Wright isn’t running for president, that kind of rhetoric isn’t going to get him elected. But I have to say, Barak’s response isn’t warming my heart either: “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial.” He said Rev. Wright “is like an old uncle who says things I don’t always agree with”. Yea, you don’t want to go to church and listen to your pastor, right?
