They only have a choice between B.O. and H.C. The latter is a horrible candidate.

How do you get "born a ____" whatever? Is it like DNA? I understand that your parents can baptise you ("Believe in infant baptism? Hell, I've seen it done.")

If your mother is a Jew, Jews believe that it makes you one. If your parents are both episcopalians, does that make you one? Suppose one is a methodist and one is a Baptist? What are you "born"?

The truth is, his father was a Muslim and his mother was some type of white-bread Christian. If that makes trouble with some Muslims or Muslim nations, make that the point -- but I don't think any of us is branded at birth with someone else's beliefs.

He's fending off all lines of attack, from all quadrants...

Is he Terminator III?

Tougher to get rid of than Al Qaeda!

Faster than a speeding bullet!

More powerful than a locomotive!

Genitalia so heavy they must be held in his hands when standing, rather than put a hand on his heart for the National Anthem, while all the women on stage are watching 'La Vie En Rose' on someone's laptop off-stage...

That’s my church, too, but I thought our founders split from the Presbyterians.

More important that his father being muslim, because his parents were divorced when he was 2, his step father was also a muslim and Obama attended a muslim school. I am not certain how many years he lived in Indonesia before he lived with his American grandparents but he spent his formative years there. I think that is significant.

TODAY’S “GUARANTEED NOT PHOTOSHOPPED”: U.S. SENATOR OBAMA IN MUSLIM ATTIRE IN KENYA

This isn’t just putting on a yamaka or a head-shawl upon entering a synagogue or a mosque.

He is nearly wearing the whole shebang. And seems to be getting instructions of some sort.

Click on the photo for the details.

And every time I see this, I'm so curious to know what Hitlery & the other woman are so distracted by in the distance. They may have their hands on their hearts, but their minds are elsewhere, I'm sure of it...

My guess is that they were looking at another flag. In the picture, the big flag the audience was looking at was behind them. The woman and Mrs. Clinton were looking in the same direction...but the men were looking in different places...Obama to his right but forward (unlike the women), the other gentleman was looking out towards the crowd. There were probably several flags around the stage so each person on the stage had to decide which to face.

A small quibble with the article. Dukakis WAS a pastel patriot. There ARE legitimate questions about Kerry's war record. While the author nails the intellectual dismissiveness, the source of the contempt for the charges is that Dukakis believed that all the world was Massachusetts, where patriotism is no longer expected, despite the name of the football team. Kerry expected the press to continue to carry his water for him, and they tried.

With Michelle Obama, maybe she was telling the truth. Maybe she hasn't ever been proud of this country, and will muster a small amount of begrudging pride because despite his utter absence of qualifications, her husband may run it. Maybe, if they win, she'll run around for four years lecturing us on how evil we are, and how she and Obama are the best thing that's ever happened to this country, because they're going to save us from ourselves.

Sorry John Brummett, you still don’t get it. Dukakis was a pastel patriot, Jon Cary is a pathetic leftist wanker, and Obama Hussein WILL have to address issues that a servile MSM has so far tried to sneer at or ignore. I don’t believe that Obama is necessarily any closet Muslim, but there is plenty of evidence that he and his wife ARE far-left America-hating Demagogues, slyly pretending to be within the mainstream but only really in the mainstream of the far-left. Sure the MSM tries not to probe at all into their actual views, we only get presented with his glib superficial calls for unity and change, whatever that is supposed to mean without any substance. The real substance of Obama is that he is a far left anti-military, surrender weasel who wants to give up on all our hard-earned success in Iraq just as a substantial victory is within our reach. If Obama can get all the way to November without the public getting to know “the real Obama” then the MSM’s propaganda will have been more successful than ever.

>> Does anyone seriously believe that McCain can beat Obama?

Absolutely!

>> At least as things stand today? Perhaps that will change over the summer...

Think about what you’re saying here, FRiend. Whether McCain would beat Obama if the election were tomorrow (”As things stand today”) is utterly irrelevant. McCain will be taking on the Dim candidate in November. ALL that matters is November.

Things will most assuredly change over the summer; they’ll change more between summer and November.

I'm just trying to do the math. His dad was a muslim. his mom was an atheist. His stepdad was a muslim. He attended a school in Indonesia where he enrolled as a muslim on the application. And he's a Christian? When? Where? How? I grant that people convert, but why deny it if he was once a muslim?

"For months, an e-mail campaign spread word that Obama was a Muslim; "

Well, he isn't a muslim, but he's a very strange Christian. His church requires its members recite a "pledge to Africa," a racialist form of "Christianity" reminiscent of "German Christianity" under Hitler, or the Ku Kluxers. Bizarre.

On their website as to what Trinity UCC Church is about, there's lots about race, especially racial resentment, while Jesus Christ is reduced to a peripheral bit player.

I just think that's a stretch. Hitlery & Bill Clinton loathe the US military, many of whose members actually FEEL something in their hearts when they respect our flag. I've watched Hitlery & Slick Willie for 15 years & never seen anything but self-indulgent greed, and a nauseating DIS-respect for American ideals I hold dear.

Obama I don't know about...yet. I root for him only until he has successfully ended the Clinonian Era.

There'll be plenty of time before November, as another poster noted, to thoroughly examine Senator Obama, but we will do so in a political environment unpolluted by Clintonian sludge, a world where Hitlery & Slick Willie are irrelevant...A CHANGE I CAN BELIEVE IN!

"Does anyone seriously believe that McCain can beat Obama? At least as things stand today?"

According to Rasmuussen's poll, released today, McCain is up 2% on Obama and up 4% on Clinton. Obama has topped out. My only question is, will he collapse in time for Hillary to pull it out?

Obama's response to the debate Q "what crisis have you been through that prepares you for dealing with crises as President" was the antithesis of articulate. He basically said (after long evasive stammering) that he's ready for the Presidency because he was raised by a single mom and made mistakes as a teenager that he recovered from.

Now that's a resume!

They are watching the high school band playing the Star Spangled Obama.

"No one has shown me proof that he converted to Christianity."

He'a a member of Farrakhan-loving Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street in Chicago and his daughters were baptized.

They require a "Pledge to Africa," but not to Mecca.

So there.

I don't think he's a muslim, ----but millions of muslims do. According to Haditha, the son of a muslim is forever a muslim. If he converts, he deserves death.

Whether one is for or against Obama, there are millions of muslim extremists who believe his assassination would be in order. Something to think about.

Just because he goes to the United Church of Christ does not make him a Unitarian. Unitarians don’t have anything to do with that church.

My source:

See Line 7.
