Birther does not equal racist, but at this point I think it's safe to say that birther does equal crazy.

birthers live in a racially polarized context. as ignorant as they and others may be about the history of the nation in which they live, they're not uninfluenced. they don't live in a vaccuum. if someone said "where are your papers, boy?" in 1811, and their biological or cultural descendant said the same in 2011, there's a connection. the orangutan pics, outright racist talk, questions about his educational credentials, and all manner of UNPRECEDENTED response to an american president exist in a socio-historical context. only the blind could deny this.
but of course people will continue to deny it.
and those who were born with the wrong skin will always look like whiners when they express the obvious.
you can't win.

I'm really curious as to your opinion in Ras' thread on 'tyrant pastors'. Both his initial post AND my post on the subject.
On topic:
Some people will never be 'convinced' of solid biblical truth on a particular topic because they aren't open to being convinced. This is part o' the reason we have folks who solid exegetes in scripture on a host of issues (and I'm not talking message board folks, but people with actual advanced degrees from REAL accredited universities), but when they get to theology they don't like, they abandon that model of exegesis for something based on how they feel about the topic.
Too many people are caught up with serving in a position when they need to sit back and do some more learning first. The scene in Karate Kid where Jayden Smith comes up to Jackie Chan and starts on and on about what he can do and how much of a 'good base' he has for being taught, but then gets arrogant when he doesn't get what he wants (and instead he's told to take off his jacket, drop it, put it on, hang it up repeatedly) ONLY to find out that during this time of not doing what HE wanted to do, he was actually LEARNING is a great example of this.
Everyone (everyone means me too) could use a lot more humility.

Most people who have objections to Calvinism cannot define it correctly and are too intellectually lazy to take the time to do so.
The rest just don't like it and look for excuses to bash it.
To say "We don't know what happened to Osama Bin Laden? He may have confessed Christ before he died. Sounds silly to me. I believe the Gospel was the further thing from his mind before he died.
Lil Wayne actually had some decent wordplay on 6'7.

The "American Dream" turns out to be the "American Nightmare" for African slaves and native peoples in North America.
