Deep Thought

Colin Powell is right. So what if Obama is Muslim?

I'm also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: "Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim." Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He's a Christian. He's always been a Christian.

But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be President?

Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion: he's a Muslim, and he might be associated with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.

Amen. I'm with you on that one.

It matters if he is a Muslim because if he is one then he is a blatant liar. Also, while I have no problem with electing a Muslim, I do have a problem with electing one when we are at war with a Muslim enemy. Do you think a German or a Japanese person could have been elected during or immediatly after WWII? Of course not. Now don't get me wrong, I believe Obama's assertions that he is not a terrorist. The main reason I'm voting against him is he has zero experience and his policies are outright socialist. I will die before this country goes the way of Europe, and I will fight, if neccessary, to prevent that from happening.

"I believe Obama's assertions that he is not a terrorist."

Wow, that's profound. I was sorta up in the air on that one.

Me too, but now that anonymous has reassured me i feel ok about it.

On another note, we are at war with ALL Terrorists. Just because the majority of the ones fighting us are Muslim means nothing. If we stop all Islamic terrorism we will have to move onto Christian terrorism. And if the POTUS were a Muslim then Muslim countries would be that much more in favor of us(not that it would take much right now)
