Sadly you are right, too many who carry the name of Christ are very poor examples. There are many who use that name but have no clue as to who Jesus is or what He taught. That aside, with your very broad statement you sound like an anti-Christian bigot. I am not saying you are but it sounds like h**e speech to me. Apart from the "Christians" there are many right wingers who spew hatred, that is true. The comment that they are returning what they have received is valid. It does not excuse their behavior but I am sure you know that hitting back is a very normal reaction. Wanting to hit back is a very natural feeling for me but since I am a follower of Jesus is choose to live in the Spirit not in the flesh. I expect when you read this you will want to hit back. Maybe you will restrain yourself? Maybe you won't? Also, I do not h**e this president but I strongly oppose his policies.

Benedict Arnold was a revolutionary war hero and he was White, he had a policy, (agenda) just as Obama has polices or agendas.
Benedict Arnold obtained command of the fortifications at West Point and planned to surrender it to the British forces.
This would have lost the revolutionary war for the colonists.
But, HEY.......................that was just his policy right!
That's all just a policy.................just a difference of opinion...............after all,
"at that point, what difference would it make?"
So what, if the colonist lost their freedom and liberty.................
So what, if all the founding fathers were rounded up and hung for treason......................................................
it's just a question of policy...............................RIGHT?
Never-the-less, Benedict Arnold was the most reviled and h**ed man in America, his name is so h**ed and reviled, that even today his name and the words treason and betrayal are synonymous.
Benedict Arnold earned the hatred he got from America, he's entitled to what he earned, based on his actions.
The colour of his skin had nothing to do with what he tried to do. The fact that he's white, didn't save him.
Obama has also earned the contempt of this country, he has worked hard to earn it. It is his, he's entitled to it.
He has no right to demand that the colour of his skin should save him from his own actions.
It didn't work for Benedict Arnold............ or Richard Nixon, for that matter.
If you can condemn a white man for his actions you can damn well condemn a black one.
In this country, we are all equally accountable for our actions and the results thereof and that includes Obama!
