I just want to put in my support for Senator Barack Obama. It is hypocritical of the far-left community to make such a noise about Donnie McClurkin, when they love to lambaste the Bush Administration and Republicans as the new “thought police.” That attack is at times warranted, which makes it even more important that we are not hypocritical. I hope Senator Obama will keep the wonderful Donnie McClurkin on and use it to show how he will bring people together. That you don’t need to agree on everything to work with someone.

Donnie has said nothing objectionable…he has only talked about that which is personal to him. Donnie has actually spoken about how he is pro-gay rights, recognizing that even though, in his mind, they are leading a lifestyle that is optional. Which of course, it ultimately is, just as a heterosexual does not have to engage in heterosexual acts, but that they are people and that a homosexual should not have to die without his/her loved one because they can’t get into the visiting room, etc. To shut up a person about his faith is not the Democratic way to proceed.

I know Barack Obama will stand up for the free expression of views. If the homosexual community wastes their fire on someone who is not saying anything reprehensible, when those of us who are pro-gay rights (including myself) will not be paid attention to when a real crisis occurs.

Thank you Senator Obama for trying to create an America where all legitimate viewpoints are respected.
