So we've all seen this video right?

Now, before we get into dissecting this video, let's take a look at John McCain's pastor.
John Hagee is the man who McCain seeked out for an endorsement, Hagee has voiced extreme anti-Catholic, anti-Jewish and anti-homosexual views. Hagee said in 2006 that Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment against New Orleans for hosting a homosexual parade. He also said that the Jews brought the Holocaust upon themselves by "turning away from the true God." He referred to Catholicism as a false cult and said the religion contributed to Hitler's views.
Now, why don't you hear anything about this in the MSM? Simple, because McCains pastor is white, and here in America, a crazy shouting black man in a church is going to get way more talk than some southern Evangelical that many people across this country probably agree with.
Now, I could say that McCains pastor is just as crazy as Obama's, but I would be lying, because he's 100 times nuttier than Obama's. Because here is the thing, Obama's is not crazy, and here is why:
1. The "God Damned America" comment, if I was there, I would have said, right on! You can completely understand where he gets this from, The United States is full of ignorant, racist hicks and life is definitely unfair for blacks at times in the United States. Our prison system is shitty, so people go to jail on minor drug offenses, don't get any rehab, get out, and have nowhere to go but back to their gangs or crime, and start drugs again. Then they get caught again, and then one more time, and voila, jail for life. This statement is completely justifiable and I see no reason to create such an uproar over this. This should be on the MSM not as it is now, but as a wake up to Americans.
2. "The government lied about pearl harbor." Yeah, this is true, what's new? "The government lied about the Tuskegee experiment" Yeah, once again, this is true: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762136.html.
3. "Homeland Stupidity" He names it what it is, Homeland Security only takes away Americans rights and creates extremely unnecessary fear.
4. "Killing for Peace is like Raping for Virginity", This statement could not be truer, we're over in Iraq fighting the imaginary boogeyman, fighting to keep us safe. Uh, no. We're fighting for oil, power, and profit, our government does not give half a shit about the people dying overseas.
5. At 2:07 in that video above, we see the "God damned America" clip play again. All I have to say is, God damned Fox.
I'm going to stop here because the rest of that video is more of the same. To let this man draw you away from Barack Obama is ridiculous, Barack is a smart man who will do an excellent job of leading our country. I can also honestly say that I would actually go and watch that man preach, and I do not even believe in God or condone a Religion.
This is my last note, and what I want to say, is STOP letting RELIGION and POLITICS get mixed together. It is two completely different matters and neither should tie into each other. It seems like now-a-days whoever loves god more wins the election, we focus on fluff issues like this and whether or not you wear an American pin flag. Meanwhile, we are spending 100,000 dollars a MINUTE in Iraq, people are being kicked out of hospitals right now for not being able to pay their bills, we have our economy falling into a recession. I'm sick of the bullshit, let's focus on the issues that matter.

Powerpoint Over Atheism/Religion
Here is a short powerpoint I did for school over Atheism. I had to make it pretty quick so there are some errors in there, but it doesn't really matter, you still get the point. You will definitely be reading more about religion in the near future.
