Who the Hell does Mike think he is to judge Obama and equate him with Hell. Mike has committed a grievous sin with his anti-Christian hate attack.

Why do they forget that basic tenet?

Last week when I sat down in church next to my mom, I heard her & the lady behind her razzing on the President, but my mom shut it down immediately because she knows I would have had to said something in his defense.

hatred should not be taught in a house of the lord.

in the face of such unmitagated ignorance of someone who's suppose to be teaching a Sunday School class! He needs to lay off the fox tv if he can't resist regurgitating it in Sunday School.

It's DevonRex who us told wrote about "the Grandfather Clause".

Hope you're feeling better by now.

but I won't even be hungry for breakfast tomorrow. That was a major cast-iron meal.

Last time they started this I asked rather forcefully, "Did I just die and wake up at a CPAC meeting, or is this still supposed to be Sunday School?"

Believe me, they know how I feel too and no mistake about it. They also know another reason I don't want to let myself get pushed too hard because I've been known to go for the jugular. My mom was a belle of the New South who defied her family (who disowned her) by marrying a Catholic Democrat DamnYankee, and I learned at her knee how to smile and do major surgery at the same time. I am capable of it, loathe to relapse, and if I did it might be at full volume.

I still think that on October 1, I'll start wearing OBAMA gear again everywhere I go at least a week, except for church, of course. Can't violate my own rules.

and respect for your place of worship. That is far more than Mike did. Sad that he felt it appropriate to teach intolerance in a Sunday school class.

Hope you are feeling better and thanks, Irish.

Indeed I am feeling better, especially after a 3-hr nap!

I truly believe it was the mighty hand of an angel of God - or Lady Karma herself, perhaps! - who reached out a hand to guide my response, because there's no way my scrappy human nature accomplished that on its own. Can't count on a repeat, either.

At some point Mike might wake up enough to remember I can hand him his head on a platter, so to speak, in public if necessary. Besides, in one of my letters to the newspaper's op-ed page, I said I realized that many people couldn't understand my approval and defense of President Obama, so to put things in perspective I added: "I have loved and worked for the Democratic Party all my life. You don't see any living relatives around me so you think I have no family. News flash: the Democratic Party IS my heart family, and when anyone assails its core principles, they're also stepping on MY toes. Such a person needn't be surprised at some degree of heat in response. If the occasion involves someone especially dear to my heart and beliefs, such as our current president, that's really all they need to know to accurately anticipate my response."

Of course I wrote that only after a long period of harrassment in person and in print by an appalling number of people who wished President Obama dead in my hearing. I told them all, including a particularly odious pastor, that they were shaming themselves and they might care to remember that I'd take a bullet for that man, so careful how you tread.
