		<description>Right. Just as I suspected. The real reason that Roland Martin is ranting and raving in defense of Miss California is because he shares her bigoted views about lesbians and gay men. I love it when bigots pretend they aren&#039;t bigots and try to make it all about free speech and such. You&#039;re so transparent!

He&#039;s a hilarious hypocrite, too: Bashing gays while keeping that race card hovering about a millimeter above the table ready to fire into play at any time. Well, if you can&#039;t take seriously anyone else&#039;s civil rights, I&#039;m not listening to your constant whining about yours.</description>

		<description>I just read your article on CNN about Gay marriage.  It was right on!  Good job!!  But then I read your article on Cigarrette Tax, and it was way off.  

You state in your comments that cigarrettes cause $193 billion in health costs every year.  I hate it when people throw out these numbers.  They are hilarious.  

Check out last years revenue for RJR  $8.8 Billion dollars.  Phillip Morris had Revenues of $63 billion.  Lorrilard $4.2 Billion.  

Now take this Statement.  &quot;THE GOVERNMENT MAKES MORE MONEY ON A PACK OF CIGARETTES THAN THE TOBACOO COMPANY DOES&quot;  You figure the tobacco companies make probably about a $1 a pack, where as the government makes at least $2.  In some states the goverment makes even more.  Like $4 - $5 dollars a pack.  

&quot;THE GOVERMENT DOESN&#039;T WANT PEOPLE TO STOP SMOKING, THEY MAKE TO MUCH MONEY ON IT&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;There are some who said you can’t trust Paul’s gospel because you can’t trust Paul.&quot;

I don&#039;t buy this one . . . .I think there are many folks today who have agendas that are clearly condemned by Paul, thus have an interest in neutralizing him and his teachings.


&quot;The Christian faith has always been subversive and corrective to society&quot;

Amen . . . .Christians are the real liberals. Not Liberals as in ACLU/DNC/NOW (these organizations are really facists)</description>

		<description>Mr Roland Martin,  I was actually looking for a way to respond to your show last week and thats how I found this site.   In response to your sermon notes, we need to stop going to church out of tradition and begin to build a relationship with our Lord and Savior.  There is no salvation, victory or power in tradition.  

Weigh More Pay More. The airlines are not responsible for the real issue here and that is, AMERICA is 
getting bigger.  I am the author of a book entitled, A Christian Woman&#039;s Journal to Weight Loss and I think we need to talk about the bigger issue.  I would love to share my book with your viewers and discuss what needs to be addressed, our issue with weight.
