Mark's Views, Perhaps — from behind my eyeballs
OK, I don’t want to get hung up on the Trayvon Martin case. However, I thought posting a series of comments from my Facebook Wall would help clarify what I was getting at as well give a little “equal time” to an alternate perspective.
Yesterday evening I posted a link to my Why Trayvon Martin? post and this developed: Read it all
Why the focus on Trayvon Martin?
Scores of people donned “I am Trayvon Martin” apparel.
The President of the United States claimed Trayvon’s looks for the son he doesn’t have.
Protests and beatings have been “arranged” in Trayvon’s name. Read it all
Exhibit A
White is color. (Study Exhibit A at right.)
Lots of colors, in fact. 1
White is condition.
Spiritually, a good condition. 2
Physically, not necessarily so. 3
White is a race. Read it all
I just Googled peace prize and gospel treyvon (among other searches), checking for recent (last 24 hours) news stories.
From what I could tell, no Nobel Peace Prize winner has stepped up to knock down the fires since my post yesterday, Calling Peace Prize Laureates. (Or before, for that matter.)
Nor could I see any evidence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ being offered as applicable to the race mess that continues to burble and gurgle. Read it all
OK, some of my scattered thoughts while listening to inauguration coverage on the radio for a while earlier this morning.
President Obama is no great orator, but then neither is President Bush. It’s OK.
President Obama’s inaugural speech included plenty of statements that sounded as though President Bush hadn’t been doing a bunch of things President Obama mentioned were now going to happen.
I wonder what will be President Obama’s first Executive Order.
And what about his birth certificate?
Kudos to Rick Warren for mentioning the God of Israel and excluding Allah of the Muslims. And for praying in Jesus’ Name. I must confess to being surprised by both. Seems like there was something else, but I don’t recall.
Who messed up the administering of the Presidential oath of office: Chief Justice Roberts or President Obama?
That was quite the “poem” that gal had!
And the prayer after it had more rhyming in it. (Yep, I still say real poetry rhymes!) And that prayer! Well, never mind. I’m white…and I’ll let it rest at that. 😀
So what was with letting some music trump the United States Constitution? Or perhaps the Constitution doesn’t require that the Presidential oath of office be administered by noon. Because if it does, and since the oath was a few minutes after noon, is George W. Bush still President? 😯
And speaking of that music — I thought it sounded like funeral music! Which struck me as somewhat ominous given it was “forcing” the oath to wait til after noon.
Oh, and did I hear a news commentator actually refer to one of the Obama girls as, “Cute as a bug”?! 😯 I hope that doesn’t get branded as racist.
Well, let me close with some positives and some good news:
President Bush, bless God.
President Obama, bless God.
America, bless God.
And may it please God to bless America and President Obama and President Bush.
Amen.

SHOCK: MCCAIN VOLUNTEER ATTACKED AND MUTILATED IN PITTSBURGH |
Was it a racist attack?
(Just asking.)
On second thought, maybe it was a sexist attack.
What does the B stand for?
Barack?
B**ch?
Brave?

| Confession: I made it up
A McCain-Palin campaign volunteer who claimed she was robbed and cut by a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama has confessed to making up the story, police sources told the Tribune-Review. |
Why do people pull dumb stunts like that?
Oh, I know — “they” got to her and threatened her to the point of making the above confession. 🙄
Whatever the case, search your own heart: Are you disappointed this isn’t something that can be made to reflect on the Obama campaign?
That aside, this reminds me of what the “mantra” (what does that word mean?!) used against a black Supreme Court nominee — “It’s the seriousness of the charges” that matters, whether or not the charges are true. Maybe somebody will use that same logic in this case. “So she made it up. What of it? It still says something about Barack that such charges would be so believable.” blah, blah, blah
The End
