Whats your thoughts on the IQ level put into this? Your older & wiser in ways. I may or may not agree with your take on this, but I'm willing to at least piecefully hear you out.

A rather large crock of smelly brown stuff. His birth certificate has been shown, the Hawiian government attests to his being born there.

You know, for true christians St. Matthew had summat to say regarding display of one's christianity Chapter 6, if memory serves "When you pray go into your closet and pray to your God in secret and he shall reward you openly. Those that pray loudly on the streetcorner, they have their reward." May not be an exact quote, memory is not what it used to be.

As far as I know President Obama attends church regularly, but does not talk about it. Other Presidents have perhaps talked too much about their faith.

As a further comment, when it suited them some folks went on at great length about the Obamas attending that church in Chicago, Reverend whatsisnname, now these same folks are claiming he is a muslim. Tomorrow when the wind shifts it will be summat else. I have a weather vane cockrel atop our greenhouse that reminds me of these people a great deal.

Actually the weathervane is a black lab now that I think of it.

I mean, come on, Hillbilly! Didn't you know that? I thought everyone knew that! You gotta get yourself outa that holler more.

Okay, seriously? Seriously, crap like that is unworthy of serious consideration or comment. Seriously.

Okay, Hillbilly, just for you.

What do we have here? We have some guy ("ppsimmons"?) who says some other guy with two different names says that his wife says she's heard other people say on the radio and television that there's some plot to put a Muslim (unnamed) in the White House. No proof of any of these claims is offered.

Then the narrator claims we know nothing about Obama's past (false) and claims, again without offering any evidence, that Obama has spent millions to keep it that way. We know a lot about his past, actually. What we don't "know" is any of the bogus claims the right wing has made about him like being a madrassa trained muslim terrorist plant. Since that's how the Right wing defines him, I suppose we won't "know" about Obama's past until he fesses up.

See, here's the thing. It's no longer socially acceptable in most of America to say, "Holy shit! There's a ni@@er in the White House!" So just substitute Muslim for "the N word" and you're good to go. This is ALL about racism.

John

I guess today is official irony day at Political Chat. Here is a photo from the protests about the cultural center.



Notice the blood dripping off of the signs expressing fear of sharia; look at the expression of the lady in the red t-shirt, waving her flag (apparently at the American citizens who want to build a cultural center), then look at the poster in the background. Although all of the poster does not show up in the photo, I think we can interpolate that it reads, "It's all about respect."

Now I ask, are signs dripping blood off of the name of Islamic law and the expressions of hatred toward all of the people of one religion, based on the acts of a few, signs of respect toward people of another faith. Do these protesters not fathom the hypocrisy in demanding "respect" from people who, out of prejudice and ignorance, they demonize? (Those signs look quite similar to each other. Gee, I wonder who is providing the funding for this coordinated display of ignorance.)

Regards,

D-Ray

Yeah, but what they're doing must be right, John. After all the good Lord is rewarding them handsomely for their work. They truly are blessed, and therefore must be on the side of righteousness.
