American Rhetoric Review's blog

I am getting a bit tired of this election season. I have heard all of the wrangling and have listened to Obama say "ummm" and "uhhhhh" enough that I have realized he and Bush really do have something in common.

Obama is having a hard time explaining his involvement in a church where the preacher has been notoriously preaching hate against the white community.

These comments are not new to the black community or the white community. Both races have been guilty of preaching such dogma and hate. The difference here is that Obama is running for the highest office in the world, the President of the United States of America. For Obama to claim that he had no knowledge of Reverend Wright’s speaking of such things is ridiculous. He attended this church for over 20 years. His children were taught by this preacher and he and his wife were married by this preacher. To claim now that he had “no knowledge” of this offensive language is obviously misleading.

Obama has deemed it necessary to use someone else’s words to try and win the presidency of the United States of America? Not likely! I don't think any fair minded sole will vote for a man running for office who uses someone else’s work to get there. If he was in a college class he would be suspended for a few weeks for cheating on the test.... Maybe that's something from his past? Maybe that is how he became a senator? Maybe that is how he became a lawyer? Maybe that is what makes him sound like a preacher?

Last nights debate could have been an eye opener for many and may be a turning point in this election. There has been much ado about Race and Racist issues being brought forward in this election. Last night's battle stayed true to that order.

Pat Robertson yesterday announced that he will endorse Rudy Giuliani. What???? You have got to be kidding me. The, as the Republicans and the Religious Wrong refer to them, Pro Abortion and Pro Gay Rights Giuliani is who Pat Robertson feels best represents his Religious Family Values?

Yesterday in a stunning development, a bipartisan majority of Congress rejected the attempt to kill the privileged resolution brought by Dennis Kucinich to impeach Vice President Cheney, for his unprecedented constitutional high crimes. Instead the bill was sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which is exactly where we want it to build momentum. Now all we have to do is pressure them to follow through, and impeachment will be a reality. You can write to your congress persons and express your desire that they follow through on this process or use the following statement and forward it to your respective representatives. You can just cut and past the following into your memo:

Another not so breaking news story this week Richard Curtis was revealed as a homosexual living the lie.

Curtis is married, has children and had voted against gay rights proposals in the Legislature.

Religious extremists have decided that the Harry Potter books are not acceptable for children because they have a Homosexual (gay) character in them. Isn’t that rich! A fiction sequence of novels has been determined to be hazardous to children by the right wing Religious Right.
