@Josh: That’s certainly a generic generalization, isn’t it?

What media? When? Where? Point me to a specific article, a specific news clip and I will comment. However, to say that all members of the media were biased against Bush is ridiculous.

I’m sure you had no problem with the media bias against Bush right? I’m sure that wasn’t judgmental.

So after 8 years of the media trashing Bush and everyone complaining and moaning… The Obamassiah is in office now and we’re supposed to think positive?

Junk.

I will never understand what politics has to do with religion ! In Europe and I think in other parts of the world nobody cares if the president is budhist, atheist, muslem or whatever. We don't even know. I mean if I was a muslim or a buddhist why should my president be a christian ? where is the freedom here ? Gattina´s most recent post:

@Jay: Thank you for your kind comments. I did not link to the post in question because I did not want to be accused of drawing attention to it -- positive or negative, depending on readers' opinions. However, I did post a comment there which, not surprisingly, has never been published. I'm sure that since mine was the lone voice of dissension, it was deleted. I did not write about the comments that were published in response to the original post due to time constraints, as well as the fact that my article was lengthy enough. Also, I did not want to get off on a tangent, but will share here just one of the comments posted in response to the pastor's wife's writing because I found it just as disturbing as the post -- if not more so: "There is no such thing as a Christian Obama supporter. If a blogger sports their little obamamania button AND purports to be a Christian blogger, GetOff That Blog FAST! . . . or add them to your prayer list. I’ve know several Christians who support the man and their lives bear out that they truly don’t have a clue what the Bible says basically because they don’t read it and if they do, they’ve skipped Romans. They need salvation. It breaks my heart. They may be religious, but certainly not saved by grace with a heart that yearns after God’s righteousness and truth." Just when I think that I have "seen it all," I read comments like that and know that the gulf between Christians is widening, not narrowing. I sit here wracking my brain, but am symied. If someone said such words to me in person, I'm afraid that I would find myself staring and asking the speaker, "REALLY?" a la Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live. Because the words are so startling, so judgmental and, accordingly, un-Christlike, so ANTI-Christian. I am truly baffled. I can't even fathom how one reaches a point in one's life where such words invade one's consciousness and take tangible form, much less give rise to the sense of empowerment required to actually type them and hit "send" or "publish." The older I get, the less I know. That's the only thing I know for sure. But I pray for people like the pastor's wife and that commenter because . . . I am at a loss to know what else to do for people like that. And maybe that's the moral of the story.

Oh man…you are preaching to the choir. Without getting into politics too far, I will simply say that Ruch L. might be the biggest moron alive.

And that’s all I got to say about that.

Great Tribute!!!!!
