Another America-bashing religious event
The candidate was endorsed by yet another America hating religious figure. I don't have much faith that his candidacy can survive the slew of negative press that will be sure to follow:
The person who put on the conference which opened with this song went on to endorse the candidate. The candidate wasn't there-- just like he wasn't there for Rev. Wright's now-infamous attack on America.
The candidate, of course, is John McCain; I'm sure my circumlocution fooled no one. To be sure, McCain boycotted their event-- yet he's counting on their support. Straight-talkin' John wants it both ways. It looks like a complacent media is going to let him have it.
It seems almost unnecessary to say that I disagree vehemently with every lyric of the song. And yet I also feel that religion seems like a valid tool with which to challenge the American self-image. I'm disappointed that the challenge from the left seems more controversial than the challenge from the right.
But if you're going to vote for McCain, this is the company you're keeping. It's good to know
