Rev. Wright, "God damn America" ... what he meant

Would you agree that if Rev. Wright had said this, it would be
more accurate ... more what he probably meant:

"God damn the American government."

Who knows? Lots are put off by the use
of the profanity in church. I mean, please.

"God damn" is not profanity, imo. Using the name of
the Lord in vain is considered to be a sin but this was
not in vain. I'm not sure what vain means but I suppose
they meant to use it lightly or in a cavalier manner. That
was not the case.

You are 'wordsmith'. What does 'in vain' mean?

Yes, I would think so, and he was fair by covering both democrat and
republican ones imho. Here are number of related sites and videos you may
find useful to look at or share.

Then people could make up their mind whether or not this was a preacher
preaching about the the values and guidance in the Bible about War and
Violence ..... or not.

Is Wright "over the top, selective, and a little biased" ?

Well sure he is .... but isn't that what FREE SPEECH is supposed to be
about?

What's that got to do with Obama's Policies for President?
