A candidate with a muslim background, muslim parent, who exhibits strong concern and empathy for his muslim relatives, and bristles at any concern or questioning about his muslim connection and heritage is not only an issue, it is a significant issue and one we should be concerned about.
It is also a significant consideration that Obama is looked upon by muslims as one of their own.
The nation can't afford to let political correctness cloud its judgement or prevent an honest evaluation of what Obama's Islamic connection signifies, but that is exactly what is happening.
Anyone that thinks Obama idolaters will be swayed by McCain's "civil discourse" about foreign policy and other standard issues hasn't been paying attention.
Obama isn't campaigning as one competent to deal with difficult issues, he is campaigning as a savior.
And his supporters follow his mindless chants of "Yes we can", "Hope" and "Change" without looking for substance like a bunch of star struck Moonies.
Ya, well you keep up with the easily deflected middle name nonsense and see how that plays in the press.
Pretending that his name reflects his policies is stupid.
Attack his policies and you force him to defend his policies.
Attack his name and everybody thinks you’re an idiot.
