Pastor Manning has some interesting ideas and strong beliefs. Time will tell who is right. Regardless of his beliefs he believes in them passionately, is prepared to put his money where his mouth is and accept whatever consequences come what may.
If progressives felt the same way about health care, we would have a public option.
I often listen to Pastor Manning for the 5% that is true and the 95% that is entertainment. It will be interesting how he stretches his argument in the upcoming trial and what factual nuggets will come out of it.
Manning is a birther and is called a kook precisely because he is black and swimming against the tide. He believes that blacks should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop looking for handouts from the govt. His statement that Harlem is safe because all the black men are in jail is a dig at both sides of the discussion.
If you listen carefully to what he says and ignore the theatrics, he is criticizing both sides, liberals and conservatives. He is a libertarian and I pray he gives up his fascination for Palin.
Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
