It doesn't seem to work on a Mac.

Obama promised change and he is doing his best to turn us into a third world country. I'm afraid being "nice" won't cut it. We must make our voices heard loud and clear. Did he preach a corrosponding sermon when the radical left assailed President Bush? Obama is an extreme radical amd so are the people who surround him. He wants the government to take over every bit of your life in order to get votes, we will not stand by and allow that.

chris, the idea that the current critical climate is like that faced by Mr Bush is absurd. Recently, I heard a spokesperson for the Secret Service report that threats against hte president were up over 400% from the days when Bush was in the office. The vitriol form the right is overwhelming.

Chris said...

That's because the secret service did not follow up on Bush threats as closely as Obama. As far as I know, not a single Bush protestor was eve arrested.

no, chris, that is not what they said. the report was on the raw numbers of threats, not just those investigated. your logic is so flawed. if what you assume is true about mr. bush, you'd have to believe that the secret service was in the pockets of the liberal media or the democrats! come on, give us all a break!

CHeck out: "Death Threats at Bush Protests Ignored for Years."

Although I tend to agree with much of what he said, to me it was not so much a sermon, but a political discourse. Not exactly what I need from the pulpit. BTW, if he mentions disease and suicide as threats to life, why not list abortion too?

I listened to the sermon as well. Frankly, most of us don't hear things this practical and useful in the sermons we listen to most of the time. I wish there were more preachers like this one out there.
