Words fail me. What do you think? Public school learning? Inbred? Genetic throwback? From the same newspaper that Warren sent the article about the garbage-to-methane project:

JONESVILLE - A sign in front of a local church that links Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and terrorist leader Osama bin Laden is causing a stir in this small Union County town, but the pastor who posted the question is defending the message, saying it came after prayer.

The sign is drawing criticism from some in the area who see its message as a political or race-based attack.

Roger Byrd, pastor of Jonesville Church of God, said he posted the following message in hopes of getting people to think:

"Obama Osama

Humm

Are They Brothers"

Byrd said Monday he had no idea that his weekly message on the church billboard would cause such a ruckus.

"It is absolutely not a racist sign or a political sign," Byrd said. "It's only meant to encourage people to think about what they're doing. (Obama) said he's not (a Muslim), but that's why I asked the question. I would put the same sign up if he were a white man.

"God loves us all, but what if we get someone in the White House who happened to be Muslim? I'm just trying to open people's minds. I was never expecting anything like this."

Studies have shown the lower the education, income, and intelligence the higher the church attendance.
