Denver’s got its own mil-talker, Gunnery Sgt. Bob Newman, USMC (ret.). “Gunny Bob” rides the nighttime airwaves of Clear Channel’s clear channel KOA-850 AM most nights from 7 – 10 p.m. (make that 1900 – 2200h you civilian pile of waste product!)Ooh-rah! (Do Army guys spell it differently?)
At times he can be inflammatory and downright wrong. But sometimes he’s so stinking right it makes me smile. Tonight he was off on Jeremiah Wright’s Church of Christ in Chicago (we will discuss the nature of the Afro-centric church later), but Gunny Bob was completely right on the elements of leadership.
The characteristics that we require of the person we choose to be president:
1) good judgment,
2) the ability to be decisive (which, with good judgment, helps one make the right decision),
3) moral courage.
Did they teach that to Gunny Bob at Quantico or someplace? That stuff works.
Signed, a bitter Black Christian gun-owner from the Midwest

Hey Steve,
I've been reading your blog, which I enjoy, and I saw that you mentioned that you'd blog on the Afro-centric church. I'd enjoy reading your thoughts if you do have the time to blog on it at some point. :)
Thanks for the reminder, Micah. Probably in several parts: what makes a church Afro-centric? Is that a biblical distinction? Where's Jeremiah Wright coming from, and where's he going... Obama's confession, and judging the fruit... Thanks for the reminder. The issue won't go away because Obama will likely get the Democratic nomination (officially in Denver this August), all gloves are off when you're going for the White House. Talk to you soon.
