So, the big thing right now is about Obama's pastor at Trinity Church and his comments supposedly bashing America. Let me copy and paste what he said exactly:
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York, and we never batted an eye,”
...
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is brought right back in our own front yards.”
And then a little bit later in the sermon, he states:
“No, no, no, not God bless America — God damn America!”
Now, the last statement is a bit overboard, but I believe he's just making a point, but I'll hit on that in a bit.
70,000 people died when we dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and 40,000 died when we dropped it on Nagasaki three days later. Instantaneously, over 100,000 human beings, civilians and military personnel alike, died.
3,500 civilians died on September 11th, 2001.
Now, I am in no means whatsoever, negating the deaths of the people on 9/11. I repeat, I'm not negating it, I'm merely using them for comparison.
America doesn't have the moral high ground when it comes to killing civilians, so I understand where Wright is coming from with this one. It was okay when we killed all those innocents in WWII, but it's practically the end of the world when we're attacked on our own soil. All this is merely stating that the U.S. has it's hands bloody from time to time, and it's an accurate accusation to say so. So I'm not sure why all this crap has been raised by him. He's saying that we should take a good look in the mirror, before criticizing others for less.
But that's just another thing for conservocraps to go crazy over.
I honestly don't care what a pastor of Obama's said, because, simply, that's not Obama. Obama is his own person. Just because he listens to someone preach, doesn't mean he agrees with every single thing he says. So, it's time to grow up people.
