His plurality of Muslim parentage simply introduces another strong factor of doubt about his veracity. Taqqiyah, anyone?
Well,then we need to attack Obama for his pro socialist POLITICS then,not his alleged ethnicity.
Its a cheap shot and one could ask why we have 150,000 of our best men and women over in Iraq now protecting a bunch of ARAB MUSLIMS!
Do tell me how that works out for you...in, say, 10 years' time.
Iraq is and always has been about geopolitical strategy regarding Iran and its ultimate political isolation and/or the destruction of its theocracy. The fact that the people in Iraq are Muslims is quite irrelevant to the strategy and the goal. A tactical problem, and a knotty one, certainly, but the Iraqis could just as well be Confucians without affecting for a moment the validity of the strategy.
It's also invariably a policy bonus to kill off a murderous and tyrannical regime, and give ANY people a shot at running their own nation. Who knows, in this case, they might become ''moderate'' Muslims after a time. Or not. If not, nothing lost there, other than unfortunately a lot of our good men and women. If so, enormous rewards portend.
Yes, before you ask, geopolitically I'm quite cynical. Please note that Iraq is NOT a strategy that can be used more than once -- so we'd better get it right the first time. I'd rate it about 50/50 success/failure just now, but I'd rate the expectation (look up the term) considerably higher.
FReegards to you!
Lets not wander so far from the original topic.
Whether Obama is one forth,one half or 100% Arab should not even be an issue.
Just his late term abortion position nixes him for me.Not to mention the tax and spend programs he has in store.
Now if he intentionally LIES about his ethnic background,then I think we have cause to be concerned.
Still glad Barack kicked Hillary’s butt,though.I’ll never back down from that one.
I am certainly not a psychiatrist.I am just being a truth teller and telling you how it was when I was growing up.
Sad but true that we all make generalizations.Of course not all Italians and Irish were anti Semitic nor were all Jews academic whiz kids.Yet the PATTERN at that time was that you found mostly Jewish kids in honor classes and Auto Shop had the rougher across the tracks Italian and Irish boys.Just the way it was.
I don’t relate to white guilt.If anything,most of my barbs are directed to the black kids I see throwing away their lives daily.And I can tell you this-I say that to their faces and they respect me for it.
From the earliest days of our Republic, Arabs and Muslims (cut that up however you like) have -- by their own actions -- declared war upon us. Remember the Dey of Algiers? Remember the 'Philadelphia' incident, and Stephen Decatur's frankly quite heroic raid? Remember ''Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!''
It doesn't sound like it.
Define taqqiyah for me, please, and write a coherent paragraph about that subject and its application to Baraka Hussein Obama, Jr. ('Baraka' is his correct birth name, btw, now conveniently Anglicised ... more or less).
State socialists are invariably my enemy. State socialists who adhere, even incidentally, to the enemies of our Republic for 200+ years are beyond the pale, and beyond despicable.
Don't like that attitude? Tough, er, luck.
Islam has always been spread by the sword and by deliberate deception. Osamabama is simply the latest iteration of this theme. The historically inarguable fact that he is and has been an advocate of infanticide, of statism regarding every point in any private citizen's life, of more and bigger goobermint at ALL turns ... well, these are just separate reasons to loathe him.
I certainly don’t endorse Islam or any other fascist religion like it.
Yet I think you are barking up the wrong tree when thats your main weapon to attack Obama with.It will seem small minded and bigoted to most voters and will invariably create a sympathy backlash in his favor.
