I have always been to the left of Obama and most so called Liberals.I see Repbulicans as the same type of people who supported Jim Crow and can never get myself to see them any different from the same type of people who used to have us riding the back of the bus ans supported the governments action of usnbg water cannon Dogs and violence againt peacefull protestors just marching for simple human and equal rights.

As an African American male myself, I am also totally dissapointed with many of the Black so called Christians and churches, who are happy to discriminate against Gays and Arabs.
For a people who have been so maligned and treated like dogs and worse for many years in America it is not good.

It is disgusting to see Blacks taking a page out from the same book as thir former oppressors,
And what is bad is that most modern day Republicans, are anti everything Blacks,the poor,minorities,and others are for and want,except when it comes to the religious aspect, they align themselves with people who still hate them and would not want to be around them.
Religious brainwashing that leads people to talk about love but to hate Gays and others.
I am a rare African American,I am one who do buy into the Creationst theory since i became old enough and could not be forced to go to church,even though my whole family is Christian,I am over 60+ years and have yet to meet and African American Atheist,or non believer,Eh eh,eh.
Most are shocked, and get close to a heart attack when they ask my faith and I tell them,I dont believe in mythology or fairy tales,so they dont like my views on the mid east problem either because they think I should be 110% in Israels corner,I tell them I have to call it as I see it,and will not let ancient biblical stories cloud my honesty or judgement.
I also dont believe that America should have military bases in every corner of the world,or occupying Arab lands,I believe America glorifies war and the military,and thats why we always have enemies, and are always in perpetual wars,but we use all kinds of Bogus reason to justify it,like "Defending ourselves,"'Defending Strategic Interest,"Spreading Freedoms,and defending the free World,but almost all the people we are killing are Muslims,because we dont like their religion,but mainly because they dont like Israel.
Obama is not and was never a real Liberal ,or leftist to me,he talks liberal, but acts most as a centrist Democrat,and once in a while might do something peoplee consider left,but I have no clue how anyone could call Obama a Socialist,or a leftist or a Liberal.
If Obama was any of those,and followed up on his promises,Bush/Chemney war criminals would be under investigation for war crimes,and he would not in half the trouble he and America is in today.
But I see no other alternative but to vote for him, and hope he does whats right for all america
