Not really pro-Bama, simply a nice historical commentary.

Doing my own family research I have found many ancestors who were members of Masonic Lodges in the 1700 and 1800’s. I've seen pictures of my own GG Grandfathers headstone with the masonic symbol on it. I would bet many of the people who hold wild conspiracy theories about them also could find members among their own ancestors. This is one reason I have a hard time buying in on to all these theories. Yes, I find their rituals bizarre,and something I would not do, but I can say the same about many of the churches that are not of my denomination or faith.
I am not going to belittle our founding fathers or my own ancestors, because they joined a masonic lodge. That's just stupid.

Most people who write for the public about Free Masonry, are not really knowledgeable about the subject.

Most of what was written in this article is factually correct, but short in perspective.

Any attempts to associate Barrack Hussein Obama to Free Masonry are flawed.

Before the organization became public in 1717 it was Anti-Statist and committed to freedom of men.

Many Monarch’s and the Catholic Church at the time despised them because this threatened their power.

Things are different now. The Knights of Columbus in many towns associate with the Free Masons, and most have found a lot of common ground.

If you want to understand this subject converse with someone who is a Mason, not someone who wants to find hidden evil.

I have been a Freemason since I was 21.

Respectfully,

Texas Fossil: "If you want to understand this subject converse with someone who is a Mason, not someone who wants to find hidden evil."

They say 'The Devil's in the details', but then again, so is God.

So the question should be; who are you looking for?

I wonder if anyone can share any information or clarification on the Internet rumors that Obama is a member of a “Prince” Lodge?

Do freemasons not have in their history a vow to prefer fellow freemasons in their non-craft affairs?

Any such organisation is inevitably going to become the subject of conspiracy theories—it’s as inevitable as anti-semitism, and for the same reasons.
