I got a message from a political hopeful. The smiling face in the picture just didn't seem to go along with the words. Here was yet another person hell bent on "exposing" someone while soliciting support for her candidacy. The pitch stank of jealousy, desperation, and confusion. In between the lines, and upon them, was the unmistakable disgust that a Black man and his family are in the White House.
Listen. If your only strength is the ability to round up a bunch of knuckleheads and plan the destruction of another human being, I wouldn't follow you to a picnic, let alone cast a vote for you. I couldn't believe what I was reading! She had the nerve to evoke God! god who? Which one? Pookie? Then she talked about "going back". TO WHAT? Do you even SAY that to a Black person born in America who was alive in the 60's, and has southern-born parents? No platform, no ideas, no solutions, just selling her book about a rival politician and sick excitement about exposing his faults and supposedly heinous past. After that, more talk about God!
WHAT makes people think bringing up Christianity to a Christian is going to blind you to their ridiculous rhetoric and bigoted ideas? What makes her think that no one is digging around in HER closet, waiting to humiliate her or her family? Then she arrogantly said, she "refuses to acknowledge the presidency" as if her denial is going to unseat him. Where was she when they were counting chads in Florida? Under a rock? Good grief. I want her, and her 3 friends on MySpace to enroll in a course in African American history, then OPEN the Bibles they thump and brush up on love, grace and mercy...UGH!!!! I am SICK of hateful people! Lord help us...
Now hear this, lovely politicians:
Examine yourselves.
Decide if you want to serve and help people, or be a star.
Decide if you want to serve and help people or land a cushy gig where you are BEING served.
HOW are you going to solicit support in tearing down another person, and think it's honorable? Do you REALLY think you're going to win?
If you insist on continuing to dig a hole for someone else to fall into, make sure you toss in your favorite stuff. It will be your new home.
Author all of the confusion your pitiful, misguided heart desires. Leave God out of it.
I am praying for people so consumed by hate that their own talents, strengths and gifts are going to waste in destructive ventures. I am sure I am not alone.
I amazed by the desperate want for mercy and grace, and the pitiful effort to show them to others.
Harming and humiliating others simply CANNOT be the only way you think you can succeed. You MUST be better than that.
I'm not surprised by hatred, but saddened by supposedly intelligent people seeking to exalt themselves by using low down methods and rhetoric.
Run on your own strengths, not the bigotry and ignorance you cowardly stir. What goes around comes back around like a rabid pit bull...
Answer this: What is it that causes people to forget their own past and failures?
You will never succeed by attempting to denigrate someone else...and definitely don't align God with obvious hatred.
If you have sense enough to try and APPEAL to my Christianity, you ought to know that it's based SOLELY on my acceptance of the finished work of Jesus on Calvary, his God engineered resurrection, and his identity as the Son of God--NOT whether I vote for you.
