Sen. Obama and the Evangelical Community (Update)
If I were Sen. Obama’s campaign, I too would go after the Evangelicals but only for my own reasons. I would do so to raise their American visibilities as an intricate part of the American faith system. I would do so to trash out the hidden religion of the Neo-cons and their constant implying their religion is the gold standard and all other religions are gutter ones.
The Neo-cons with their bully pull pit of the Mainstream Media can do that and they do it with pious smirks and grins. If a spokesperson of any religion other then their own says or does anything they feel they can make a wedge issue of, they are like sharks in the water after smelling blood only for the sake of implying there is a better religion wherein people don’t do those things. Ours!
Several months ago, {{Andrea Mitchell}} told Chris Matthew’s viewers that Sen. Obama was going to get a rough ride from the Jewish communities. In relationship to the campaign of Sen. Obama and in my opinion, no truer words were spoken and I took what she said to heart as a hint to the wise.
So, and further, if I were Sen. Obama, I would hang around all the religions in America so that all the data can be bought to light and let people chooses for themselves the behavior of their individual members. However, it would soon become very evident that the religion of the Neo-con has not come forth. They have not hung their laundry out to dry. They will not talk about it but rather stay in the background with loud bullhorns criticizing and bad-mouthing all other religions as minor after minor event occur. Even going to wars over them. Continually asking and manipulating us into making un-informed choices. There is a reason citizens in the New England states i.e., John Kerry will not talk about their faith and religion and I strongly suspect it is more than being elitist.
I must repeat there is not a movie regarding Black you do not at least see a church scene, wedding, funeral, choir singing, perhaps a secondary story about a religious person or the life of a minister with many of the cast members wearing crosses around their necks. There are movies wherein you also see the Catholics in various religious situations but never the Neo-cons. Never. Showing the Jews in such a light maybe akin to the taboo of the movies of old wherein there were no inter-marriages on the screen and no inter-racial romances and if it happens, one of the people has to die. West Side Story comes to mind and there are many more.
There is/was a code enforced by the writers, directors and producers. Neo-cons all. Sad. Sad that so many people would even think that way and enforce it. Since it has gone on so long, their children probably do it to so maybe if we look at the religion. That maybe the constant.
If I were Sen. Obama and this would be my objective to expose American to the rational of other religions, I know I would have my work cut out for me but work so necessary to put America on a solid ground from which to build. One wherein the Jewish community can not undermined each and every religious structure we try to build allowing us to move forward. We in America are built on our religious foundations, not shifting sands and we must build up, shore-up and secure our base else we ain’t goin’ nowhere, Bubbuh. You ain’t and I ain’t. Got it? We will only have a “hidden hand” holding us back and a whole lot of group stupidity.

P.S. Would love to see a major movie of Jewish students going to an all Jewish Middle School. (Middle school students tell EVERYTHING) Or the move of a Jewish Rabbi’s life, death and funeral arrangements being made up to the actual burial i.e., "Umberto D". Or a Jewish girl’s romance and marriage ceremony. Or a Jewish Choir preparing for a Jewish Music Competition. Or a ………
P.S. I'm telling you folks, you can get very irritable if you don't write your heart. (Smile)
P.S. #3 What is the name of the Jewish religion? I don't even know. Is it Zionism? What do they stand for? I really do not know.
(Update) This diary was up since ten AM yesterday. Don’t know how in hell I missed it. There is a good portion relating to religious charities. Very informulative.

Excerpt:
The fact of the matter is that many of our health and human services divisions in our individual communities, our food pantries and more may be beneficiaries of government grants. Some of them (the Salvation Army comes to mind) are faith based.
Do you know how many charities that you currently support that are in fact 'faith based'?
