No need to drink any more when you’re already overdosed.

On that funky blue koo-aid that you only find in the far-left aisle at the store.

If you want me to drink the kool-aid, the least you can do is make it taste good.

No need to drink any more when you’re already overdosed.

Barack Obama has proudly stated his name is Muslim for “Annointed.” Because of the religion of his parents and his schooling in Indonesia, Muslims consider him Muslim. Having a president that Muslims think is Muslim will cause great problems in the Mideast.

Is this very difficult to understand?

So you think there’s a good reason he’s now running for President, other than his popularity?

Well, he is the Muslim world’s “Annointed One.” He would do them proud, too, if somehow he became president:
1) Immediately pull out the troops from the Mideast.
2) Increase immigration from Muslim countries for diversity.
3) Slash funding for our military and CIA.
4) Stop all eavesdropping on Muslim terrorists in the U.S. and profiling.

Wait a minute, I thought Obama was a Muslim apostate and if we elected him President our relations with the Arab world be forever hindered because Muslims would have no choice but to try to kill him. Now you are saying that he is the Muslim world’s annointed one? If you want to convince me your crazy bigoted theories are true you have to pick a story and stick to it. Jesus, it’s confusing trying to figure out why I should hate Obama when your stories keep contridictating one another. If you want me to drink the kool-aid, the least you can do is make it taste good.

In short, the man is a Chomskyite socialist. That’s bad enough.

Read the post, reflect on the meaning, focus on what’s relevant, understand the nuance.

After all, what’s in a name?

Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs says he isn’t sure why the Catholic school document had Obama listed as a Muslim. Gibbs told AP, “Senator Obama has never been a Muslim.” While the spokesman is denying that Obama was never a Muslim, Obama, himself, has not publicly said he was never and is not now a Muslim.

What can Americans expect of a Muslim-educated Obama? AP writes of its interviews at the Muslim school in Indonesia, “Those tied to the school say they are proud to have had a student like Obama, and hope that, if he is elected president, his ties to Indonesia will broaden his world perspective and his views on religion.” Indonesia is home to some of the most radical Islamic schools in the world. And Obama’s identity is yet to be revealed as the confusing doubletalk hides the real Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States .

I majored in Asian Studies, studied in Malaysia, and have been to Indonesia. To me, there is something about the character or demeanor of Barack Obama, along with the facts of his background, that make me suspect that he is a Muslim but does not want to publicly announce it.

Let’s also use some post-9/11 common sense here: If his father AND stepfather were both Muslims and his mother was an “atheist” who listed him as a Muslim while he attended Catholic school, where did he get his political and religious views from? Children get almost all their views on these matters from their parents. Liberals have liberal children, conservatives have conservative children, pro-life parents have pro-life kids, pro-choice parents have pro-choice kids, and Muslims have Muslim children.

There are lots of nice Muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia who like Americans, but nearly all of them have an attitude towards the government of America and of course Israel. Indonesia also is not the “moderate” Islamic country that Barack Obama’s campaign team would have us believe. There are many radicals in Indonesia. Dr. Mahathir of Malaysia was always thought of as a “moderate” and look at views on the Jewish people and America.

Barack Obama is far too close to Islam for our security. Plus, his far left views are exactly what you would expect a Muslim to have.

Finally, the number of lies that Obama has been caught in so far would make the Clintons blush.

Will Americans be stupid enough to elect a POTUS with the name Barack Hussein Obama? I certainly hope not.

do you realize how ridiculous this sounds? If that actually becomes a repub talking point then the buzz is correct, they really do have no chance in 08. You do your own side a disservice. Go after his lack of experience or something.

Will Americans be stupid enough to elect a POTUS with the name Barack Hussein Obama? I certainly hope not.

For that matter, can we just have John Howard run for president?

Ouabam + Obama = ?

Well, he is the Muslim world’s “Annointed One.”

I guess that makes him the Thirteenth Imam. That’s a scary thought.

In short, the man is a Chomskyite socialist. That’s bad enough.

Oh, the NUANCE, I am going to beat the crowds and buy my supply of “Vomit Buckets” before there is a run on them……..

Then why comment?

His playing the role of the coy statesman above the fray of grubby politicking only to eventually throw his hat into the ring is about as old as the American electoral system. Jefferson, Adams, etc. were famous for that. Your brining it up as something novel smacks of gotcha politics and is an issue. Thus, my comment.

So you think there’s a good reason he’s now running for President, other than his popularity?

I have no idea, he’ll have to answer that. Maybe someone persuaded him to run. He simply has to explain why he didn’t see himself running back then, and why that has changed. If there is a good reason, he should be able to explain it pretty easily. If there isn’t one, then we can expect him to come up with some kind of claptrap.

It’s only a flip-flop if he cannot come up with a good excuse as to why he changed his mind. Flip-flops are when you change your mind for no reason, when nothing has changed, or simply to be a populist.
