Below is a bulletin that I recieved and my response to said bulletin. My thoughts about this complete and utter bullshit bulletin are in red.
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. -ohhh lets get people on the hook by pointing out that his middle name is Hussein. Isn't that like that Saddam guy...well golly gee...if they have the same name they must share the same traits. I like to think that the american population at large is more intellegant than this...sadly I am often proven wrong. Also do I need to note that his parents religions are in BOLD letters. I assure you my friends none of you want to be prosectued for things in your family tree. ALSO..need I point out that the we have a little policy in this country about freedom of religion. It goes a little something like this.......
Freedom of religion is a guarantee by a government for freedom of belief for individuals and freedom of worship for individuals and groups. It is generally recognized to also include the freedom not to follow any religion (irreligion) and not to believe in any god (atheism or agnosticism). Religious toleration is the condition of accepting or permitting others' religious beliefs and practices which disagree with one's own. Freedom of religion is considered by many in Western nations to be a fundamental human right. So yet again people are going to talk about how we need to protect our country while simultaneously pissing on its constitution.
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. - So apparently this time we are gonna capitalize RADICAL instead of the religion. Now not only are we going to point out the religions of his parents...but the religion of his step -parents. I wonder why we did not not point out the religion of his gradnparents who he lived with for a large portion of his childhood...oh wait could it be because they are christian.
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. - Obviously my first question is going to be why we capitalize MUSLIM but not CATHOLIC.
- 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." - Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. - So they talk about the "great care" that Senetor Obama takes to conceal the fact that he is Muslim...yet later they refer to the fact that he was sorn into office with the Koran. That seems a bit of a contidiction to me. Also I would like to point out that my sisters went to catholic school...there were people that practiced many religions in catholic school. I think that it is a fair assumption that there may be people at Islamic schools that practice different religions. I would also like to draw attention to the fact that people are entitled to the right to change their religion. It happens all the time for all different kinds of reasons. People convert to catholicism to get married in their parents church....yet apparently once a muslim always a muslim...I guess according to some people changing religions for certain reasons are okay but others are not...maybe that rule only applys if you are or were a muslim.
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. - Ummm my mother married a man who was Catholic...I am not know nor have I ever been a Catholic.
Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. - Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.
The term Wahhabi has been often conflated with a lot of other issues and pejoratives. Due to its different representations in different contexts [11], in some ways, it may have lost any real, significant meaning; however some Salafis, albeit very few, refer to themselves as Wahhabis, such as in Indonesia. - I am gonna venture a guess that who ever wrote this lovely article did not take the time to research Wahhabism or to find out that Wahhabi is mostly considered a derogatory term.
- 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. - I am gonna go back to my point that who are we to judge why a person changed religions. Again must I point out that people have all sorts of reasons for converting to different religions. Whp are you to condem the reason for changing religions. I would also point out that the christian caucasian that we have now aint doing such a hot job.. basically members of his staff are being picked of one by one...oh yeah good riddence to the attorney general.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. I for one plan on remaining very alert to the fact that for once I feel like we have a chance. I will for the first time remain alert to the fact that I think that there is a chance for real change. I will remain alert to freedom of religion. I will remain more alert of the changes he has made for the state of Illinois and less alert of his parents religious beliefs...I will remain alert of the feeling of hope that I finally have for the United States Government and less alert to the bigoted opinions of small minded people.
- 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!!!! I am not sure I even have the energy to justify this with a response. It is progaganda like this that is allowing our government to take away our civil liberties with things like the Patriot Act. As long as we remain frightened we will allow our liberties to disappear one by one.
- ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office - he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs) - I have to go back to the fact that in an earlier paragraph it was stated by our genius bulletin author that Senator Obama tries to hide his Muslim roots...He apparently decided not to hide them that day.
-
Please forward to everyone you know. - I most certainly will not I have more common sense than to forward something that is purely inflammatory and obviously ignorant.
Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!! - Well get out there and vote buddy. Even people with ignorant opinions are entitled to voice them.
If the Dr's and teachers that bombed London could do that, it's scarry to think what this man could do in control of our whole country. First off, while it may be a little snarky I would like to point out that scary only has one r. I also just have to throw in one more shout out for freedom of religion. I mean it really is a good rule
