Barack's Holiday Adventure

Greetings, O Nation.  Well, after a well-deserved holiday I am about to climb back in the game. I feel relaxed, refreshed and focused on opening a huge can of whoop-ass on the Mummy.

First official bit on the schedule is Saturday's jawboning with Pastor Rick Warren. That'll be nice. I get to talk to some fish folks who ain't hate'n on a brutha. 

By the way, did you know that the Christian PAC, Matthew 25 Network, has just released its first ad on my behalf? Hella cool. It will play during the chat with R-Dub at his Saddleback Church.

You can check it out below.

Dawgs... there is nowhere for the Old Party to hide this election cycle. I am coming at them from everywhere.

White Evangelicals Don't Color Between the Lines

It seems that white evangelicals will gladly sell out their brotha in faith, just proving that the takeover of white evangelical religious communities by the Rethuglicans is complete.

"A Washington Post-ABC News poll released this week found McCain collecting about 68 percent of the white evangelical vote, compared to Barack Obama's 22 percent. That number is very similar to level of support President Bush received in June 2004, when he led then Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry 65 to 30 among white evangelicals."

The Mummy hasn't seen the inside of a Church since he escaped from his unholy crypt back in the 1930s. He is a warmonger who spits at the "Thou shalt not kill" rule when polling determines he needs to sound manly instead of compassionate. He screwed around on the wife who stayed by his side and raised his kids while he was a POW, only to finally leave her for a 26 year old heiress with a firm ass while his wife suffered through recovering from auto injuries. 

Meanwhile I, a born-again Christian who has regularly attended a Christian church for the past 20 years, get no love from the fish folks. All because the man (a former US Marine) who brought me to my Awesome God, strayed from him in his later years. At least I'd like the think that's the reason (?). I have been faithfully married to the same woman for 16 years, and by all accounts am a doting and loving father to two amazing daughters. And, after college I eschewed the big money a Harvard degree summons to go a work in underprivileged urban areas for $13k a year.

Sometimes Christians can be the worst advertisement for Christianity. Fuck 'em.

On an aside, I love this comment on the WaPo site from a reader called The Oracle, in reaction to some of the more Batshit comments about me and my faith left on the site by the frantic, sweaty masses who call themselves Christians:

"I see the Obama Haters are out in full force today......Dukes of Hazzard must be off......"

Asante sana, Oracle, for crystalizing my thoughts so eloquently. Much love to you and yours.

Happy Father's Day

Yo, just want to reach out and offer a Happy Dad's Day to those fathers who are out there doing the right thing. You know who you are. Keep on doing the real shit and giving your children what they need to become responsible and loving adults. They need you.

To the rest of you irresponsible pricks out there who confuse sharing sperm with fatherhood I have something for you too. Do humankind a favor and wear a condom, worthless asshats.

Money quote from my speech: "we need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception.” Baby, that's good shit.

You see, white people can't say this shit without coming off as racists or Sean Hannity. It's all about context, tone and delivery. Plus, Black folks have had enough of white folks telling us how to behave regardless of whether those comments have any validity.

How's that for a Sister Souljah moment?

Damn, I am a political animal!
