[Rhodes22-list] POLITICAL replies to Peter L about trooper gate and to Ben C about his question earlier today

[Herb Parsons]

Ben,

Are you aware of what some Bible passages have to say about doing away 
with other races, certain races being God's chosen, what should be done 
with people that commit certain acts, etc? Is it your assertion that we 
shouldn't use the Bible because of those passages?

Are you aware of what some of our founding fathers said and did during 
their times?  Is it your assertion that their quotes should not be used 
as well?

Are you aware that Obama freely quoted in his memiors from a man who 
said that God should damn America? Are you going to judge Obama, at the 
top of the Democratic ticket, by the same standard you are now trying 
judge the VP candidate on the Republican side?

I somehow doubt it... But I AM eagerly awaiting your response...
