The Election Drama: On Obama

This E-mail is the biggest load of shit I have ever received. I don’t even like him and I’m pissed at it. I also knew this stuff would start up the second he made the running due to some people not being able to wrap their heads around the idea that a non-white, immigrant descended, non-christian background candidate has a shot at getting into an office of power. The same happened to Harold Ford a while back. The next time you get something like this…check an Urban Legends reference site…or your medication if you ever believe it on face value.

If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward
this to all your contacts. This is very scary to think of
what lies ahead of us here in our own United States…please
heed this and pray about it and share it.

Chain e-mails are the bane of my existence. Especially when they’re filled with lies, inconsistencies, and half truths. If I could find the people who start them, my greatest desire would be to tear them limb from limb and dance merrily upon their entrails.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama
was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.,
a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a
white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas.

Since when is it a crime to be born IN the United States of parents with two different philosophical affiliations or ethnic backgrounds. What time warp are you living in? Some people ARE Muslim just as some ARE Christian, Atheist (myself, his mother, and his father included), and a number of other life paths.

Oh yeah, a cheap shot for a cheap shot: The xenophobic racist pig that started this misspelled “Atheist”.

Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama
was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned
to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL
Muslim from Indonesia.

My goodness, if getting a University education is tantamount to treason, then I don’t know what to say. How many will have to be locked up for thinking of furthering and bettering themselves academically? How many more will need to be executed due to their falling in love in school?

Damn, practically worthy of confiscation! Sounds very familiar though…

In addition, his step-father was not a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. He was a NON-PRACTICING Muslim. If he had been a PRACTICING Muslim, he could not, would not, have married Barack Obama’s ATHEIST Mother. If the ignorant idiot who started this had BOTHERED to read the Qur’an then he/she would have known that MUSLIMS are only permitted to marry “PEOPLE OF THE BOOK”, i.e. CHRISTIANS, JEWS, and MUSLIMS.

IF his step-dad was as conservatively religious as this idiotic tirade claims, then he’d HARDLY be likely to MARRY Obamas’ mother.

When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to
Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He
also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Is it a crime to take up residence in another country? So, in essence, you (twisted deviant who wrote this) are calling all the service personnel in the Military, all the diplomats, etc. traitors for not living here behind some mythical protective shield 24/7/365(6)?

What fantasy land do you live in?

You’re also effectively accusing a six year old boy of going into training to become a page out of the Manchurian Candidate?

The wonders of hilarity never cease to amaze me. Dude, don’t touch the acid anymore. Just..put…the…bottle…down…now.

Why aren’t you paranoid about him attending a CATHOLIC school? When Kennedy (an IRISH DESCENDED CATHOLIC) was in the running back in the day, people did the same to him that you’re doing to Barack Obama now. I guess old habits die hard for ridiculous bigots like you.

Also, the last time I checked, it was no more a crime to go to a school centered on a particular religion or lack thereof, than it was to get a University education.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a
Muslim. He is quick to point out that, ‘He was once a
Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.’

WHEN?!?!?!? Where is your proof?!?!?! Produce it!

Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear
that he is not a radical. Obama’s introduction to Islam came
via his father, and that this influence was temporary at
best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon
after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence
over his son’s education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a
Wahabi school
in Jakarta.

If these conjured up “handlers” are as good as you say they are, then maybe you should conjure up some for Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan? They’re obviously in more need of someone to watch out for them.

Your inconsistencies are showing. Exactly WHO introduced him to this mythical form of religious indoctrination you’re obviously fantasizing about? His father, who had a nominal role, at best, in his life or his step-father who himself was a nominal Muslim at best?

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the
Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the
western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a
CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United
States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of
Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID
NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Right now, I wish it were politically expedient to actually feel it a duty to uphold the Constitution in that clearly addled brain of yours, but hey…

Actually, you’re NOT REQUIRED to use ANY religious text, icon, or otherwise when you swear affirmation to an oath in this country…thank goodness. You’d know that if you’d paid attention in Civics class. C’mon, it’s the tenth grade in most places man…the tenth grade…

If I were to stand for public office, AS AN ATHEIST, I could swear on anything I’d please to. The chair, the table, or Donald Trumps “hair” as my choice. I could even choose…nothing at all. It’s the affirmation of integrity that counts and not what you use to do it on.

In response to your allegation though, it wasn’t Barack Obama who swore his oath on a Qur’an but (and remembering the Faux controversy over it with a chortle of glee) it was Keith Ellison. I nearly peed myself laughing at the rampant paranoia over that one both inside and outside of my family.

Keith, I’m tippin’ the glass of cranberry juice in your honor dude!

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of
Allegience NOR will he show any reverence for our flag.
While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama
turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected
presidential candidacy.

First, where does it say that you “have” to put your hand over your heart when reciting the Pledge? If you even knew the history of the Pledge, you might not want to recite it yourself if you’re the paranoid zealot the tone of this e-mail infers to you be.

Enter short history lesson:

The Pledge of Allegiance was written by Francis Bellamy as a means of giving children from the various immigrant and native born backgrounds of this country a common means of saluting the flag (of which he was a merchant) and country in schools and teaching obedience to the State (Country). It was also meant to be an appeal for an amicable reunification of the country in the years following the Civil War and a hope for a future of liberty, justice, and equality for ALL people here.

Look it up. Unlike you, I’m not conjuring stuff out of thin air.

That must scare the hell out of someone like you, given the tone of this e-mail.

It is NOT a legal requirement to say it, nor are any COMPELLED to say it or put their hands on their hearts when/if they DO say it. Last time I checked, the FIRST AMENDMENT was still sitting there. Don’t even THINK of making an attempt at redacting history.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from
the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest
level – through the President of the United States, one of
their own!!!!

understand the importance of this and don’t let this man
gain public office in Our country.

What? All of them? All ONE BILLION plus Muslims on the planet? Even the itty bitty babies? If I see a stroller coming at me with a cute kid in it shaking its rattle, I’ll be sure to watch out. /sarcasm/

Don’t you think, if your paranoid view had any basis in reality, that the invasion would have happened already? There are just over THREE HUNDRED MILLION people verified as being in the USA compared with more than ONE BILLION Muslims in the world. Now eliminate all the people (damn near everyone really in your view) your bigoted self obviously considers to be “in bed” with “the enemy” and you’ve got some serious odds to overcome.

Are you sure you still wanna oppose that immigrant amnesty?
