Worshipping in peace?

I read with some sadness that Barack Obama left his church of two decades. My thoughts weren't on the latest controversy, involving a visiting preacher who made fun of Hillary Clinton. It's the idea that finding a church or house of worship or gathering that you love is often such a personal and deep connection and fit. It's akin to actress and singer Beyonce who said she, too, had to leave her church because people were always watching her.

Finding a spiritual home is akin to shopping or seeking a mate, one looks for the best of all concerned. Sometimes it is a simple task. While other times it may take a while to find the right match. One should not settle for the closest place for convenience. Rather, one should seek that place where worship, friendship, kinship, etc. may be established. One should seek a place where the abilities, capabilities, et al can be utilized for the betterment of all.

Oh, poor litte BO - had to leave his nice little den of radical, Afro-centric, Marxist, anti-American, heretical propaganda. The story line for this entry almost made me . . . well, you know, all over my keyboard.

Although, it was a purely political maneuvre, it can only be for the best. But the question will NEVER go away as to why he went there in the first place, ideologically; and certainly why he stayed - UNLESS he was in agreement with radical Wright and company. I believe he most certainly was, is - and will infect the entire body politic with it - in league wiht his left-wing handlers.

All Obama is, is a stealth-boy of the extreme left, that has been cloistered in the bowels of Democratic shadowland for decades. He is their coming-out strategy, now that they have their dupe blocks, academic cadre, and dumbed-down, radicalized students to assist them. And if Hillary can nose her way onto the ticket, bringing on-board her giddy feminist female flock, they will most likely win in November.

Predictably the Dems will pull out ALLLLL the stops, doing whatever it takes to win. Unfortunately, the "moderate" Republicans, at this point, have only pea shooters to ward off their howitzers. But miracles do still happen - like changing the brackish water of moderate Republicanism into the holy wine of true American conservatism! But, not this time around.
