Meet the Honorable James David Manning, PhD

Any comment by someone who is not brave enough to leave his or her name is worthless. Dr. Manning is speaking as a black man about another black man. Our society reconizes and accepts this. As a registered Democrat for fifty-three years I can criticize those who are damaging our Party. The rat pack, liberal left, socialist so called Democrats are destroying our Party and, like 1945, when our nation goes down the tube because of them, they will disappear into the woodwork, where they belong, and run away from their positions as the Nazi followers did.

Mr. West,

Do you truly believe that the current republican administration has better intentions for this country than Obama? There is no way that McCain wants better for this country than Obama - he thinks that less than $5million is middle class, and can't recall how many homes he owns. Whereas Obama and Michelle paid off their own student loans a few years ago. He doesn't know what it is to be me, a woman of color who doesn't come from money but is struggling to make good through schooling despite everyone saying it can't be done! Besides, people all over the world I have spoken with know that Obama is what we need and what the world needs... only the foolish folk in the Republican party think otherwise.

First, you compare the democrats to the Nazi regime and I find this insulting on multiple levels not the least of which is the intellectual laziness it denotes with regard to the true history of the Nazi regime. I have seen the camps, I have talked to survivors, and I have visited the museum in Israel dedicated to collecting information about the most well documented atrocity since American slavery, and I can say without hesitation that no one (short perhaps of the current genocide in Darfur) has done anything warrenting a comparison to the Nazis.

Second, to position Rev. Manning's position as valid because he is a "black man" speaking about another "black man" is in fact, to engage in a fascist exercise wherein you are authoritarian and unyielding. You are closed off from open discourse thru your own doing, and demand that we all believe as you do. Check OED.com. What you are doing is the complete opposite of what Obama and Michelle practice - in their world you need not agree, but you must be tolerant and capable of coexistance, and after traveling extensively across the planet I can attest that this is something we need right now.

And third, you call anonymous worthless for refusing to leave a name, but in fact I will not leave a true name either! Your level of abject hostility and inflexibiltiy clearly denotes you as a person who will not accept any viewpoint deviating from his own, and this is perhaps the most distressing, depressing element of the entire post. When we have arrived at a place where we can no longer engage a differing viewpoint or change our own, the end has already begun.

Just to be clear, the first connection between the Nazis and anybody was in the first post by anonymous.....Hitler was born 20 April.

You're reminiscient of the Pharisees...do you think the country has time to judge our rulers by the actions of their parents? Were the parents of Obama's mother even alive? Did you ever consider what it was like to live her life? It disgusts me that you have a flock under you.

Actually if you look up Barack Obama's talking points and the American Sicialist Party, there views are very similar. He stands nothing except for the redictibution of wealth from one to another.

The Honorable James Manning, actually makes a lot of senese, he states the truth about Affirmative Action. Being of a different race does not make one more or less qualified, it just reinforces the same ideas of Liberals who think they know what's best for all.

I hear what you are saying Dr Manning, but your delivery is not drawing people to listen. Drop the name calling and you're more likely to be recognized for speaking truth instead of being radical. You're on the mark. We are called to be obedient and pray for our leaders. GOD'S WILL BE DONE.

Dear Anonymous,
A servant is no better than his Master. They called my Lord Jesus "satan" too. The way you speak of James David Manning makes me ashamed. DO NOT SPEAK ILL OF A FOLLOWER AND SERVANT OF OUR LORD! You will be shown the Power and Glory of the Lord on the Judgment Day if you reject it until that time.

The Lord is still alive and His name is JESUS. All will bend their knee to their savior one day. And all will know that Manning speaks the truth about the evil of Barack Hussein Obama.

The TRUTH will be revealed. Many will hide, but some will rejoice. What will you be doing?

Just another point to give to "Anonymous" otherwise known as "Scared of her own Shadow" -- "Bookish Betty"

Obama compared this country's mentality to that of Nazi Germany. If you would like a full citation of the actual quote, you can scroll down on this page because the author of this blog has concisely relayed (even the stuttering) of his stupid articulation. Before you speak, remove your foot from your mouth, especially before you go out of your way to insult the Honorable Reverend Manning.

Common sense is more important than meaningless adjectives. There's a reason we call you DRONES.

Are you offended by Obama now, or are you simply going to ignore his quote altogether? You libs are good at selective listening (in this case, reading) just to make a completely worthless, rambling point that is not consistent or cohesive.

Well done, Mr. West.

For all of you folks that voted for Obama ... how's that hopey changy thing working for you now???

The hopey changy thing is going just fine. I bet you sanctified fools will jump on the bandwagon when it is full. This is why I don't go to church because of people like Manning. I won't send my children either. We know who GOD is and he does not go to this church.
