IF OBAMA IS THE ANTI-CHRIST, WHY AREN’T THE ŰBER CHRISTIANS ESTATIC?

Temecula, CA - I’ve been riding around a lot lately and not spending much time in the office, which actually frustrates me and makes me apathetic. But the other part of me says, why not enjoy this period of time, as I am on my day job’s clock, and with the boss? All this car riding time gives me a chance to listen to ‘talk’ radio, and most times I say to the driver, ‘how can you listen to that ****? You’re a Muslim and that announcer would just as soon ship you back in a turban as not.’ I suppose what infuriates me the most is that the talk radio personalities he listens to, all talk trash on Obama. They were for McCain before the election and now they are ‘sore losers’. I have friends who have lost MySpace friends because they voiced support for Obama. And the things that are whispered about in some ‘christian’ circles. ‘He’s Ai-Qaida and growing the group from with-in’; he’s a ‘secret’ muslim; he’s going to ‘round up’ the Christians and take all their guns away’; are just some of the ‘digs’ and ‘hating’ by otherwise intelligent people going on daily. No one in these circles is blaming the $5 a gallon gas pump blues for the declined and over-inflated economy, or the ‘war’ aka 2.5 Billion dollars A WEEK.


These things, these realities, have all disappeared, especially in the steady glow of the dream that Obama is the Anti-Christ. And all these ‘christians’ and conservatives are upset that he might be. And that’s what has me puzzled. Being ‘churched’ the logic is simple. The sooner the Anti-Christ gets here and does his thing, the sooner the Second Coming happens. Don’t believe me, look it up! So you have to ask yourself, are all these folks, these distracters, acting like Peter when he advised Jesus to leave town prior to his arrest, or is it that these ‘christians’ just don’t really like ‘brown sugar’? Can a little ‘brown sugar’ be that bad? I mean, The Rolling Stones wrote and play a rocking song called ‘Brown Sugar’, oh wait, to some folks I guess that’s not a selling point. My first wife was all ‘brown sugar’, and all my wives and subsequent girlfriends thereafter have also all had a little brown sugar in them. So lighten up, get behind the new President and be gracious like your Party leaders, Bush and McCain, have been. On the flip side of the ‘brown sugar’ issue, maybe now because of Obama (being half white) some of the country’s ‘brown sugar’ will give a listen and develop appreciation for songs from Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughan, AC/DC, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, and of course, The Rolling Stones, especially their live stuff. You know, see how the ‘other half’ lives, so to speak.

“In the last days, a man will come out of nowhere and bring solutions to the world’s problems” – MY GRANDMOTHER, sometime before 1970

Temecula, CA – In the last days of 1969, I saw my grandfather listening to a fiery speech on the radio by either Stokley Carmichael or H. Rap Brown. I was surprised to see my grandfather so interested in something that I felt was more my thing, a young man’s thing.

He looked up and said, “I’ve waited a long time to hear (a black) man say those things.” He then said, “I’ve seen society go from a horse and wagon, something that existed for thousands of years, to landing on the moon. I shudder to think of what you will see in your lifetime.”

I can’t remember when, but sometime after puberty, I realized that along with good and bad, there also existed Evil. After getting the Armageddon analysis of things to come from my mother and grandmother, my grandmother added one more thing.

She said, “In the ‘last’ days, a man will come out of nowhere and bring solutions to the world’s problems”.

I wish she was alive now so I could quiz her more on where that prediction came from, but last Tuesday night, election night, I could feel a number of my family and other friends, all long deceased, gathered around me much like back in the day when we would all gather around the B&W Philco television set to watch Sammy Davis, Jr. or Nat King Cole, or some other black entertainer who appeared on the ‘white’ run and controlled entertainment industry. It was always a matter of pride to see ‘one of our own’ on TV and we all flocked around, like a crowd rubbernecking at an accident, because it was something out of the ordinary.

The other night it was like that again, all of us gathered around to see one of our own, appearing where before only a ‘white man’ had been in control. But this time it was different. The vibe around me was one of deep contentment and supreme satisfaction. I could feel the smiles and teary acknowledgment in the room with me. Personally I have grown so past that time of B&W TV, of B&W separation, of B&W relationships, especially friendships. It doesn’t seem that long ago when I actually met Dr. Martin Luther King and our youth desegregated the lunch counters of Louisville, KY.

In fact, I feel like this was a part of Dr. King’s dream, a part that he didn’t articulate necessarily but a part of his dream just the same. For he realized long before coaches, that ‘black’ men could play the same sports, work the same positions as their white counterparts, realized before the military that ‘black’ men could be jet pilots and astronauts, in other words, realized that the only real difference between ‘black’ men and ‘white’ men, aside from their perspective mindsets, was their skin color, a feature dictated by God.

This very principle was demonstrated by Obama, who regardless of what he looks like, is half black (African) and half white (American). He could have just as easily been able to ‘pass’ (as white) as the first ‘black’ president elected about 200 years ago did had his skin color been lighter. (I remember seeing the news article about that first ‘black’ president from my Uncle John, who was a distance ancestor, but don’t ask me that President’s name, although Van Buren comes to mind, so he was at least elected around that time frame. It, his mixed ancestry, was discovered a week before the election and the news delivery system being what it was in those days, never got into the public domain to make a difference in the election. Once elected, the whole matter was swept under the rug, and forgotten. I know I was impressed when I read both the newspaper story on yellowed parchment and a hand-written letter denoting the same fact.)

Regardless of what the ‘news’ now wanted you to think, or the commentators said, this election was mostly about ‘race’. In my opinion, 50% of the people who voted for Obama, voted for him because of his skin color. The other 50% voted for him because he spoke and acted like a smart person, an educated person, a thinking person. And why shouldn’t he? He was educated at Harvard, one of the premier colleges in America. Even the Fates seemed in favor of him, with his beloved grandmother passing just a day before the election, like in some Divine movie script.

In McCain’s tent, I would guess 80% of the people who voted for him, voted for him because of his skin color and the other 20% because of Sarah Palin, their chosen MILF. Gone is the last bastion for rednecks, both white rednecks and black rednecks. Now a ‘yellow’ man, a ‘red’ man, and a ‘brown’ man can dream of becoming President of the United States one day. Now this country belongs to all her citizens, united by one man who is half of each of the two largest segments combined. Although I would have liked to have all my relatives alive to see this moment of history, my fellow wordsmith and Midwest transplant, the ‘Nickel Sac’, summed it up nicely when she said, “I am glad WE got to see this day.”

WORD!!

MEMPHIS, TENN.- Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Arkansas indicted today by a Federal Grand Jury announced Lawrence J. Laurenzi, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, James M. Cavanaugh, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives-Nashville Field Division, and Richard Harlow, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Secret Service-Memphis Field Office.

Cowart and Schlesselman were charged with seven counts of federal law violations including Conspiracy to Rob a Federal Firearms Licensee, Conspiracy to Transport and Transportation of a Firearm Across State Lines with the Intent to Commit A Crime, Conspiracy to Transport and Transportation of a Short Barreled Shotgun Across State Lines, Possession of a Short Barreled Shotgun, and Making a Threat Against a Major Candidate for the Office of President of the United States.

“The indictment against defendants Cowart and Schlesselman alleges several violations of federal firearms laws and threats against a presidential candidate,” said Lawrence J. Laurenzi, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee. “This is an ongoing investigation.”


According to the indictment, Cowart and Schlesselman conspired with each other, using the internet for over a month, to steal firearms from a gun store. The indictment states that Cowart had photos of and a floor plan of a firearms store in Madison County, Tennessee and that it was the intent of the defendants to rob this store in order to obtain weapons to support a plan for further robberies and a killing spree.

The indictment alleges that Schlesselman sawed off the barrel to a shotgun and transported it as well as other weapons and ammunition across State lines when Cowart picked up Schlesselman from Arkansas. The indictment further alleges that the two defendants also went to two pawn shops and to Walmart where they purchased additional ammunition, rope, and ski masks to help them in their robberies and killing spree.

As further noted in the indictment, the two defendants, on separate occasions made threats to kill Barack Obama, a major candidate for the Office of the President of the United States. According to the Affidavit of Complaint filed earlier in this case, these threats were made as a culmination to the defendants’ plan of a killing spree.

Count One of the indictment carries a penalty of up to five years in prison. Counts Two through Five each carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. The charge of Making a Threat Against a Presidential Candidate carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

This case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the United States Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office.
