"As Obama Derangement Syndrome--the disease where otherwise normal people are transformed into rabid, Hitler-waving lunatics who harass and throw crumpled dollar bills at defenseless old men with Parkinsons all because a semi-black man occupies the White House--continues to infect Teabaggers, the entire Republican Party, and other unstable nutjobs posing as patriots, a disturbing new Harris poll shows just how deep this deranged Republican rabbit hole goes.

And judging by the recent spate of violence and vandalism targeting Democratic lawmakers in the wake of Americans actually getting health insurance that doesn't try to either off them or profit off them, a return to even partial sanity doesn't seem likely any time soon.

Let's take a look at some of the polls more 'enlightened' findings shall we?

* 67% of Republicans (40% of Americans overall) believe that Obama is a Socialist
* 57% of Republicans (32% overall) believe that Obama is a Muslim
* 45% of Republicans (25% overall) agree with the Birthers in their belief that Obama was "not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president"
* 38% of Republicans (20% overall) say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"
* Scariest of all, 24% of Republicans (14% overall) say that Obama "may be the Antichrist."

Yes, America look around you. Chances are if you have six Republican friends (God help you), four of them likely believe Barack Obama, not Karl Marx, penned The Communist Manifesto, at least three of them think Obama is an illegal, Kenyan-born secret Muslim terrorist who hijacked the presidency, two or more believe that our 44th president and the worst mass murderer in the history of mankind, Adolf Hitler, are kindred spirits, and at least one is certain that Barry is the Devil incarnate."

Bishop Eddie Long

Bishop Eddie Long
Sex Scandal Rocks the Black Church?

Bishop Eddie Long is currently under suspicion for allegations of sexual misconduct. The suit against the bishop has been brought on by three young men who accused Bishop Long of coercing them to having sex with the bishop when the young men (a total of three) were only 15 years old, according to CBS News. Bishop Long has quickly defended these allegations and has promised to fight them in court. In an address to his congregation at his church, New Birth, Long spoke to thousands of his devoted followers concerning the growing sex scandal involving the young men. Bishop Long spoke passionately about the sex scandal and what he attended to do to quickly resolve this matter. No media coverage was present in this address to Bishop Long's members, and many critics of Bishop Long believe that he is not telling the whole truth of what happened between him and those young men, according to various online reports.

The sex scandal involving the young men include allegations that Bishop Long used his pastoral authority to buy the young men lavish gifts and take them on expense trips, according to CBS News. Recently, a fourth young man has come out to speak against Bishop Long claiming he was also coerced into having sex with the bishop. All men, now in their 20's, were 15 years old when the alleged sexual misconduct took place. Due to the fact that Georgia's consent law begins at 15, there will not be any criminal charges filed against the famed minister. The outcome of this case is pending but many feel that these allegations have hurt the bishop's overall appeal, creditability, and trust amongst the people. One Savannah, Georgia woman stated that, "People will not ever be able to trust him again. He has destroyed the very fabric of the black church". So I ask this question to our readers. Do you think that Bishop Eddie Long's sex scandal has destroyed the very fabric of the Black Church? And If so, in what way has these alleged sex scandals destroyed the fabrics of the black church?
