Obama.. Osama

A sign outside a church is stirring controversy in a little South Carolina town. Pastor Roger Byrd of the Jonesville Church of God that reads: Obama Osama. Humm Are They Brothers? Byrd says the sign is not racist or an attempt to make a political statement, just to make people think. But Obama has made it clear his is not a Muslim and has attended the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for many years. Byrd says members voted unanimously to keep the sign up. Jonesville Church of God does not have any members who are Black.

We clearly need an intelligence test to determine if one is smart enough to vote. Wasn't it Bush who kissed all the Saudis on his recent trip - you know those guys whose friends' flew planes into the WTC? Doesn't that make Bush one of them?

What has happened to America so that now we are suspicious of people because their names sound foreign? Isn't America the land that was created for and by foreigners? So are the folks in the South of the mind that since I have mine, I don't want anyone else to have opportunity? What? Are they concerned that foreigners will take their trailer parks away?

"Byrd says the sign is not racist or an attempt to make a political statement, just to make people think."

Then Byrd is obviously a liar.

Either that or he's completely ignorant.

"Jonesville Church of God does not have any members who are Black."

Yeah, that's not exactly a surprise.....

Spread your hate and show your true colors. A house of The Lord? Jesus would never condone such a message. I pray your congregation will heal and learn the way of The Lord. President Obama will bring peace to this world. Osama Bin Laden represents hate. Do you not forgive him as you are commanded within The Lord's Prayer? Your sign is a reflection of whether you walk in the steps of The Lord or not.

So, by that logic, shouldn't a guy named 'Byrd' be in a nest somewhere instead of putting up signs on a church? Heck, a Byrd who can spell, even that well, is probably a witch's familiar. If his brand of logic infects the town, they'll be performing the 'dunk test' on him!!

After all, your name, like, totally gee golly defines who you are, since you get to like, choose it at birth and all, right?
