			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought Brian McKight was playing when he was talking about making this song, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Let Me Show You How Your Pussy Works</span>, on a mixtape, but the making of this video shows that he was and still is serious about this song. Even more unbelievable, is the skinny jeans, the sagging boots, and the mohawk. Brian McKnight has relatively been out of the spotlight throughout his career. He may be being nasty in an effort to grab American attention. Kim Kardashian was a nobody until she sucked Ray-Jays penis on a home video and released it for the world to see and now she is filthy rich and is a household name and she has still done nothing more notable than sucked Ray-Jay&#8217;s penis on a home video. So good luck with your nastiness Brian and tell them how it works and squirts! (It&#8217;s still stupid.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that Mitt Romney is running against President Obama, he says that an American Healthcare plan is bad and he will repeal it his first day in office, but when he was running for president during the last election he said that the good people of Michigan wanted healthcare for every American after he won Michigan during the GOP primary.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last few years, there have been constant comparisions between Cam Newton and Andrew Luck. I have never seen the comparison. Luck is a pocket passer that can run if he is flushed out of the pocket and he can slide to avoid injury. Cam is a dual threat QB that can make the required throws and can run; and when he runs, defenders slide, so they don&#8217;t get injured. Until Cam Newton went to the NFL without a training camp and threw for over 400 yeards in some of his first games, people were questioning if Cam Newton could be an NFL QB at all. And now that Cam has shown that he is going to be one of the best QBs in NFL history, he has become the standard of comparision for QB. Since the analyst want to compare them, I say we compare them. Both ran a 40 yard dash of 4.59 while Cam is bigger, and they both practically did the same broad jump and vertical.</p>
<p>What have they both accomplished in college? Cam won the Heisman after one starting season at Auburn. Luck didn&#8217;t win a Heisman after being invited twice. Cam Newton played Junior College football one year and won the NCAA Junior College Football Championship and he played D-I at Auburn one year and he won the National Championship there in one year as well. Andrew Luck started at Stanford University for three years and he didn&#8217;t win any National Championships.</p>
<p>Eventhough they both run the same 40 time, Cam is bigger and more athletic and he is a proven winner. Andrew Luck is a good QB, that should be able to succeed because of his own abilities. We have another issue on hand that is completely being ignored. While Luck is being compared to Newton, the gorilla in the room is RGIII. This man ran a 4.41 40 yard dash and he was a high school hurdler. Robert Griffin III may give someone some Michael Vick skills without the Michael Vick off the field activity and initial lack of dedication to the game. Vick ran a 4.33 40, but he is two inches shorter.</p>
<p>The two QBs that are important right now are Andrew Luck and RGIII. Luck is a good QB, but he is no Cam Newton. RGIII is all but being ignored. I wish all of the youngsters luck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It Sunday morning, the tradional day of rest and praise for Jesus Christ, God&#8217;s son that was sacrificed for all of humanity. That&#8217;s right, &#8220;All of humanity&#8221;, as in all races, all cultures and oh yes, all religions. As you can see from the text below, Jesus died on the cross for all mankind.</p>
<p><strong>1 John 2:2</strong></p>
<p><em>He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.</em></p>
<p>With a clear explanation of the purpose of Jesus, how is it that most who choose who praise Jesus usually do so around their own kind? &#8216;Around their own kind&#8217; as in heterosexual, homosexual, middle class, low income, or of a similar race. I even saw one church for pimps. When I was in Oklahoma, I was surprised because this was the first time that I learned of a gay church. I never thought of it before, but since the &#8216;straight&#8217; but sometimes crooked &#8216;normal&#8217; Christians ostracize homosexuals, a preacher left a mega church and the gay people followed him and more gay people came to his church and the church became known as the gay church. There are numerous black churches throughout America. White churches are easy to spot, they are usually the very big ones, with older looking buildings.</p>
<p>Only about 5 percent of the nation&#8217;s churches are racially integrated, and half of them are in the process of becoming all-black or all-white, says Curtiss Paul DeYoung, co-author of &#8220;United by Faith,&#8221; a book that examines interracial churches in the United States.</p>
<p>Some of the fears amoungst some white churches are teen dances leading to interracial dating, and interacial marriage. Some in black churches fear whites coming to their churches for fear of white people taking over.</p>
<p>In early Christian churches, all races, cultures and income levels were included in one church, which led to rapid growth of the congregations. These divided churches that scatter throughout America today look no different than social clubs if the preaching were removed.</p>
<p>If all mankind can&#8217;t love one another regardless of our differences, as Jesus loved the church, what is the point of going to church?</p>

The cause of death has not yet been announced. Her family hasn&#8217;t chose to release a statement.</p>
<p id="yui_3_3_0_1_1311450001512154">Last month, Winehouse canceled her European tour after she swayed and slurred her way through barely recognizable songs in her first show in the Serbian capital of Belgrade. After she was booed and off stage, she flew home and her management said she would take time off to recover.</p>
<p>Winehouse was last publicly seen at a London concert on Wednesday when she joined her God daughter Dionne Bromfield on stage. In that appearance, Winehouse danced with Bromfield and encouraged the audience to buy her album, before leaving the stage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michele Bachman and Rick Satorum signed Pledges last week that said that black families were better off during slavery.</p>
<p>&#8220;THE FAMILY LEADER,&#8221; a group run by failed GOP candidate Bob Vander Plaats, last week solicited GOP presidential candidates to sign a pledge giving their support for traditional marriage, entitled &#8220;The Marriage Vow&#8211;A Declaration of Dependence upon Marriage and Family&#8221; as the first step in potentially earning their support for the 2012 election. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum signed on immediately.</p>
<p>It was reported by Yahoo News that one portion of the document stated:</p>
<p><em>Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA&#8217;s first African-American President.</em></p>
<p>Additional parts of the marriage document suggest that being gay is a choice and support of banning pornography.</p>
<p>MY ANALYSIS-</p>
<p>I agree 100% that African American families should have had higher percentages of family unity during slavery. If white people owned African American men and women and controlled who bred like how people control dog breeding, there will naturally be unity within the African American family. All of my dogs always stayed together when I kept the fence locked. African American men and women during slavery were branded and killed if they left the plantation they were owned by, so it wasn&#8217;t easy to leave your family because you wanted to, like all races do in these times. If white men and white women, or any other race for that matter were owned by other people, and forced to breed to make other slaves and stay together, I assure you that they would have a divorce rate close to zero as well.</p>
<p>This group choose to make an unsubstantiatied racist claim toward the African roots of President Barrack Obama, without any regard for intellectual dishonesty. Now since the document they signed has been dissected and analyzed, the two candidates merely required that the racist language be removed, but they still support the group that created this document in the first place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Call me simple, but I don&#8217;t understand. Gay people call themselves Gay all the time. When a homosexual guy admits to a girl that likes him that he likes guys, he may say &#8220;I can&#8217;t be with you, because I&#8217;m gay&#8221;. There are numerous homosexual organizations that homosexuals are members of that have &#8220;Gay&#8221; in the actual title of the organization, like the International Gay and Lesbian Association, the International Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Youth Foundation-the list goes on and on. I just don&#8217;t understand why they get so upset when someone uses it as a bad word to insult someone. Contrary to popular &#8220;Gay&#8221; belief, most people don&#8217;t think men should have anal or oral sex with other men, so the term of their relationships is seen as a bad thing amongst straight people, which makes calling a man &#8220;Gay&#8221; an effective insult.</p>
