Did anyone ask Barack what his position was on this?

Chicago Schools Create Prayer Room for Muslims

"It sounds like he is trying to downplay his Muslim heritage. I thought at one time he was a practicing Muslim. Reading this article looks like he is trying to 'prove' he is a true Christian."

According to the koran if you are born a muslim you are always a muslim. Wonder when the "religion of peace" is going to kill him for being an apostate.

Allan Keys, American

Barack Obama-African American

The difference in the two men is staggering - one is a Statesman and one is a political hack who hyphenates his name.

[Ebenezer]

Patriotism is not the last resort of a scoundrel. It is religion.

[yoe]

Obama’s Muslim past should be noted and so should the following:

Obama and Keyes differed on many issues including school vouchers, which Keyes supported and Obama fought against, and higher taxes, which Obama supported and Keyes was against. Obama's huge early lead, the general Democratic dominance of Illinois, and Keyes' controversial statements helped Obama win handily in the general election, receiving 70% of the popular vote to Keyes's 27%.

Granted Keyes has the rapier wit of an Ann Coulter, (truth & fact) a little hard for liberal Ill. to take and Obama is an avowed liberal/socialist as well an activist in Civil Rights. All made him the favorite in Ill.

We can all aspire to make over 250k, now can't we.

The Dems use religion, spirit,faith as a tool not as a foundation for life. Obama may be sincere but being a liberal, Christianity must be a continuous struggle within. The Party cannot use spirit to fool voters. You either have spirit deep within or you do not. As Doug Giles wrote, 'you can be a liberal, but you cannot be a liberal and a Christian.'

Because if I have a chance to talk to Jesus, I'm going to be talking to him about eternal life and the meaning and purpose of my work here. I'm not going to be worrying about who he's voting for in the Senate race."
And, dude if Jesus talked to you He would remind you that abortion is the murder of an innocent child and "Better that you were never born than to lead one of my sheep astray."
Abra Cababrah is a cynical swine if he thinks he can get the rat to act rfeligious to win elections.

[roofgoat]

Would someone who is a Christian say the below - which he did at the 2nd Sen debate against Keyes?

I don't think so.



HERNANDEZ-GOMEZ: Senator Obama, you say you're a Christian, but Ambassador Keyes said that your record runs counter to Jesus' teachings. What's your reaction to your opponent's assertion that your own Lord and Savior wouldn't even vote for you?

OBAMA: (laughs) Well, you know, my first reaction was, I actually wanted to find out who Mr. Keyes' pollster was, because if I had the opportunity to talk to Jesus Christ, I'd be asking something much more important than this senate race. I'd want to know whether I was going up, or down--

Of course you can be a liberal and a Christian.

You can live your life according to Christ's and still not be a practicing member of an organized religion.

Truth be told, the elite republicans would prefer the religious right to shut up in the back seat while they drive.

I am a self-proclaimed Conservative, but I don't subscribe to an organized religion.

Just happen to learn that you should treat people the way you'd like to be treated. And hope you can make a few friends on the way.

Don't "you" or anybody dare say that I don't belong in this party.

Yo, Yoe,

Whoever had the idea to run Keyes in Illinois should be thrashed to within an inch of his worthless RNC life.

BTW, has anyone ever publicly thanked the feisty Keyes for flying this kamikaze mission? I am surprised that the Stupid Party didn't trot him out for a run against Hillary, in NYS. He certainly would have made it more interesting than that nutty 'black helicopter' loser they came up with to take a dive against the Beast of November. Sheesh, she's making Lazio look good.

In fact, maybe the RNC can just use Keyes as their DH wherever they feel as if they are bound to lose anyway. Maybe run him against Ted in MA, or Feinstein in CA.

O yeah, this Barack Hussein Obama character is slicker than goose manure on a wet ax handle. Get used to him. He's a 30-year man in the Senate, at least.

[freedumb2003]

How ironic that the people who call out most loudly about the need to keep church and state separate are among the zealous to impose their cramped understanding of Christianity on the rest of their fellow citizens through the coercive power of the state via taxation and inefficient and unjust social programs.

By definition Liberals have no standards. It is impossible to reconcile this with the moral code the Bible (and all major religions except islam) requires.

The nice thing about this is Osama now has put himself out there where we can see the rank hypocrisy.

[phillyfanatic]

Hey DC: if the shoe fits, but obviously it did not fit you. You would have to go to Townhall.com, get back issues of Doug Giles' article and see if he could better explain my comments. I would never think of driving anyone out of the Party since Party members probably have more in common than differences. Liberalism , however, does not seem to accept this. At least as played by the Dem Party. And that includes one's faith in the Bible, Jesus as personal saviour and classic Christianity. Why do you think Dean and Obama and Hil are begging Dems to 'get religion' ????
