[Rhodes22-list] Re: Commitment to war

[brad haslett]

Stan,

The current gang is not the only guilty party.  Every
campaign season black Memphis churches give their
pulpits over to Democratic candidates.  "Preaching" in
black churches in south Arkansas was a huge part of
Clinton's base when he was governor.  On the other
side, we have places like Bellvue Baptist Church here
in Memphis (I refer to it as "Six Flags Over Jesus". 
They have over 22 thousand members and a campus that
looks like a small university. If I ever get caught in
another of their abortion protests I may go postal.

Please don't let the word get out I wrote somthing
derogative about Bellvue.  Their will be a cross
burning on my front yard by sunset.

Brad
