Kerwick's Corner: Win or Lose, I "Tremble" for My Country
Already, civil rights leaders are claiming that by closely scrutinizing Democrat Barack Obama's background, Republican presidential candidate John McCain is creating a racially-charged environment.
Huh?
It's true. And as the campaign draws to a close, the American people are left to wonder what the racial consequences of the 2008 presidential election will be. If McCain wins, will there be riots in the streets? If Obama wins will there be a sudden racial role reversal in American society? Will tomorrow's election be the first salvo in a national class war that has been simmering for time out of mind?
It is unfortunate, though entirely possible, that these concerns may actually overshadow every legitimate issue discussed in this campaign -- the economy, the housing market meltdown, the financial crisis, the war and so many others. Get the psychiatrist on standby, because we may have a whole bunch of new issues to deal with by the time Wednesday morning arrives.
In this week's Kerwick's corner, Jack Kerwick examines what race relations will be like in a world beyond the 2008 presidential election. From the column:
If Obama suffers a loss, his supporters generally, and his black supporters in particular, will insist, unabashedly, indignantly, incessantly, that it was because of “racism.” A Democratic-friendly media that has spent decades nurturing and shaping our culture’s “politically correct” orthodoxy, as well as, more recently, Obama’s pubic facade, will all too happily facilitate this insidious fiction. Distrust and unease between blacks and whites will deepen.Photo © Mario Tama/Getty Images
If, on the other hand, Obama prevails, then inter-racial tensions -- over the long run, in any event -- will worsen to an extent perhaps even greater than that to which they will worsen in the wake of his defeat.

Does the Anti-Christ= Barack Hussein Obama?
-He will come out of nowhere and not allow you to know his origins
-He will be anointed by a religious leader as the messiah (Louis Farrakhan just anointed as the messiah, Barack Obama)
-He will somehow be ‘diverse from the rest’
-He will be very, very popular around the world (As evidenced by Europe, Africa, and the Middle East’s’ zeal for his election)
-He will be a great talker and speech maker (I rest my case)
-He will likely be charismatic and physically attractive, like King Saul
-He will stand in a new Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and declare he is “God”
The “antichrist” then, has no horns or red glowing eyes. Neither is the “antichrist” some demon possessed super-intelligent human clone. Rather, the “antichrist” is that man, glib of tongue, living next door, who openly teaches the neighborhood kids radicalism and denies he is or associates with radicals that would subjugate his fellow man into slavery by causing the world to become bankrupt and then require you to receive his mark to buy or sell in this world.
Sound like anyone you now know?
Was it not Louis Farrakhan that just anointed Barack Obama as the messiah?
If you have read the bible, you would recognize him but he has the power to blind you to who he really is. Only the righteous will recognize his arrival.
Wow. What a pathetic article. Are you guys THAT desperate?
