Several days ago, I stumbled across a pretty definitive display of the racial hatred that infects some people in this country. At the Values Voters Summit, held in Washington, D.C. (hosted by the Family Research Council) this past weekend (September 13-14, 2008), there was a booth selling boxes of pancake mix labeled “Obama Waffles“. While apologists for the event called the boxes of pancake mix political satire, I fail to find anything at all satirical about them. Instead, I see racism, pure and simple.

There is an e-mail circulating around the Internet that compares the accomplishments of Obama and Palin on the basis of race. I haven’t discovered who wrote it, but there is an even more detailed and interesting piece about race and politics at this site.

If McCain/Palin win in November, shame on all of us who profess to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, a great man who was killed by the Romans because he was a community organizer.
