Virgie Bell's View: Long Division

I really have no use for some of the evangelists that appear on TV but I have less use for Barack Obama using them as a campaign speech and political springboard. He is a member of The United Church of Christ which has been in existence since 1961. Before that his roots to religious affiliation were in the Muslim faith. He calls the Evangelical religion divisive. In fact he seems to call everything divisive. Divisive is on the brain of the man. Divide and conquer seems to be his motto. Politics is after all just that. But to bring a particular denomination into the Frey seems to be ...well ... divisive. I guess then too, I will have to admit that I am so sick of the entire race baiting that any other thing that even smells a little like it, pushes me over the edge.

A very famous black actor is using the race card to get out of paying the income tax he owes, which truly makes me want to throw up. Here is a man who has become rich and famous in Hollywood style, which only happens if you sell at the box office. Now he is using that appeal to stab us in the back. Black or white, red and yellow, brown and a mix of every one of these pay taxes, so pray tell, why should he be different? Because he can get by with it, that's why. Just as O.J. could play the race card and stab society in the back, those who made him rich to start with. It is kind of like the old saw "Have mercy on me Judge for killing my parents because I am an orphan.”

It will be interesting to watch the trial of Bobby Cutts. Here is a man who is black and married to a black woman to whom a divorce is in the works. they also have children together. Bobby Cutts’ oldest child is a nine year old whose mother happens to be an ex-Cowboy Cheerleader, who just happens to be a beautiful white girl, and the trial he is facing is for killing the mother of his two year old son, whom he spared, but killed his unborn daughter. The daughter that was due in two weeks belonged to him and the white woman he is accused of killing. Boggles the mind ...what?

Mark Geragos of Scott Peterson and Michael Jackson’s fame is salivating to be able to once again go before the camera and bring down a ton of bricks on our head if we mess with him. Watch for Gloria Allred to be the victims’ rights lawyer. It seems as though we get the legal beagles from central casting. Rest assured that I will be one of the viewers and in a snit half the time. At least this trial will take our minds off the insanity called politics. I can't even begin to imagine who all will be in a snit over this trial. Him and Scott Peterson. Makes you wonder what the world is coming to. Look for everything that can be raked in all of this to be dug up and written about. I may have to re-subscribe to Vanity Fair to get the one who’s writing about trials, who is by far the best in my opinion. Can you imagine? Divide and conquer? Doesn't always work ... sometimes it backfires.
