      Yes, he is a Muslim… Is he an extremist? His middle name is Hussein. First the towers came down, then we killed Saddam, then we killed Bin Laden, then perhas a muslim extremist snuck into our very White House…

        Here's a clue, what your parents name you does not determine your religion. He's about as extreme as any Hampton's holidaying WASP because he was raised by them from infancy. And his every action in the area of personal faith has been Christian.

        Off course in my perfect world only people like me (atheists) would run the country.  But that is not how democracy works.

          It doesn't matter if he is Muslim, Christian, Hindu or Atheist. If he is part of a movement to destroy this country from within, he is not where he should be
          at all.
          That we have not impeached him yet is further evidence of a stealthy war against America by unknown forces of which he might be part of, if you ask me.

              You can never argue with delusional and paranoid people. In response to your question, you'll get a long list of imagined things Obama's done to damage the country. I was raised by a mom who suffered from severe paranoia. It was impossible to convince her that the things she believed were imagined rather than real.

                Okay, some of those could be considered incriminating depending on the point of view you are looking at it from. You have a way of twisting things so that 'just the bad' part is showing. I couldn't possibly address every one of these. You love Rush Limbaugh, that is all I can imagine, ha!

                For instance, 'increasing regulations' (healthcare was a big part of those 'increasing regulations') MAY have prevented a percolating economy; but dang were they not NECESSARY because industries and companies simply CANNOT be trusted to regulate themselves - and yet somehow, corporations are people.

                You sound like you are FOR the idea of corporations being people with all the 'shutting down of heavy industry' because of 'global warming'. Gosh DANG, people are MAD for wanting to protect their environment, aren't they?!!

                Dismantling welfare reform? I'm pretty sure we REFORMED it, LoL! Perhaps it didn't get reformed in the way you wanted it to. (Plus, I don't think we're done reforming it, yet.)

                Implementing health insurance mandates... I know, taking care of people is a sin if you are a Christian. The only time it is acceptable is when people are actually homeless and seriously need help. Heaven forbid that we actually help anyone before the worst things happen.

                Losing support of allies throughout the world... I am pretty sure that happened during George W's reign, already.

                "Causing America to be unable to lead in matters of foreign affairs." Oh man, I could go on and on about this one. Obama has had to work damn hard for every little thing - foreign and domestic affairs, BOTH; because of blinding hate and prejudice that he has had to constantly head butt among the paranoid (majority WHITE Christian) political peers that he works with. The GOP have done so much damage to this country from both perspectives. They should all be ashamed of themselves for the way they have acted towards him just for being different. It's been like watching a bunch of kids in kindergarten, but not nearly as cute!!

                  You can say that again, Sister!

                  History bears out that the reactionary conservative types have never been the sharpest knives in the drawer. At best, their representatives amount to a Ringling/Barnum Bailey circus of clowns but at their worst they are all dangerous and fanatical fascists, who would not hesitate to subvert the Democratic process to have their way.

                  Continued vigilance at the ballot box is necessary to preclude the possibility of Washington being overwhelmed at the behest of the useful idiots that follow them.

                  Our government hands our tax dollars to illegals (including the drug pushers, criminals and terrorist (such as Boston Bombers) immediately no questions asked but they do not take care of the homeless! Do we have homeless illegals? Of course not yet American people including children not only are homeless and hungry but our government wants to make it very hard or impossible for us to help them in the guise of saying it is for the homeless' benefit!

                Kathryn Hill: Some don't mind:


                Increasing regulations preventing a percolating economy. -- Or increasing regulations to prevent another economic disaster like the last one we had, and restoring the nations economic health.

                Dismantling welfare reform.-- No such thing

                Shutting down oil reserves on public land. -- Public land means PUBLIC land. It's not for the private use of any person or corporation. That means that it belongs to me as much as it does You.

                Shutting down successful coal production.-- Coal being the dirtiest form of energy.

                Shutting down natural gas production for the sake of "global warming. -- Yes. Some people trust science. In fact the vast majority of the world trusts science. 

                Implementing Health Insurance mandates /affecting health of businesses.-- While providing affordable health insurance for millions of people that could never have accessed health care before.

                Printing money / lowering worth of the dollar / borrowing money from China" --- See G. W. Bush : borrowing money from China in order to finance a war in Iraq which lead to the creation of ISIS.

                Raising minimum wage / increasing prices across the board. --- If raising the minimum  wage means that I have to pay $.05 more for a burger so that somebody else can pay their rent, I can handle that.

                Allowing illegal aliens to get health care -- Health care is a commodity just like anything else. Would you not allow those same people to buy bread? Or Milk? Or any other commodity? How would you do that? If their money is green and printed in this country; how would you deny any purchase of any product? Would you demand to see their "Papers" before somebody that you "suspected" was illegal could make a purchase? Or you going to profile every person that you meet?

                Allowing illegal aliens to vote through drivers licenses. -- Nonsense.

                Losing the support of allies throughout the world.-- More nonsense

                Diminishing the military to make the budget to look better. -- even more nonsense. You make a false claim and then offer a motive based on your own bias. Demonstrate the truth of that claim.

                Causing America to be unable to lead in matters of foreign affairs. -- More nonsense.

                Allowing Syrians and potential terrorists into the country. -- They are refugee's fleeing the very people that we are bombing, and we are bombing them because people like you thought it was a good idea to take down the government of the country next door, which created the enemy known as ISIS, which now threatens Syria and is causing the refugee problem which is now a problem for the world. Now; after having caused the problem, you want to deny the refugees fleeing the disaster that America caused, safe haven. Do you find some kind of moral justification for this?
                Are you a Christian? If so, then with your attitude, how do you respond to this?
                Matthew 25
                35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,
                36 naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’
                37 Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
                38 When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
                39 When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’
                40 And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’

                BTW, The Visa Waiver program allows potential terrorists into this country, and that is what you should be worrying about. 

                Giving Iran, who is in cahoots with Russia, 160 billion in frozen assets to build nuclear weapons. --That's a false claim. Your suggestion is that the reason for unfreezing Iranian assets was to build nuclear weapons. That's ridiculous. Frozen Iranian assets never prevented Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons.

                No border control / allowing Mexican illegals, Middle Eastern terrorists and drugs to flow in. -- The borders are under control. Then again, you could build a Yuge wall and have Mexico pay for it.

                    Whistle blower:  Germaine Clarno came forward to admit to the long wait time Veterans have had to endure at different VA health care centers that has cost uncountable numbers of deaths of our Veterans.  Her reason for not speaking up was that because the idea of talking to a Republican was too distasteful. Talk about irrational hatred!  ... Because of it, Veterans suffered and died here in America.   

                    Other Union workers were silent from what I have read, and they were paid-off with VA money that should have gone to care for Vets instead of manipulating case files to hide the long wait times for medical care, etc.   I'm so glad this is finally coming to light.

                    Hopefully, we will one day have housing for all of our homeless Veterans and the best medical care possible. Everything illegals aliens get handed to them for their votes belongs to our Vets first and foremost.  American Vets deserve it!  Trump will make it possible...he is a true American Patriot.   

                    Obama is un-American for allowing such ungodly treatment of our Veterans to continue.   (I am biting my tongue)   hmm

                  The globalists don't use the scientific data that proves that there is no global warming.  First they called it 'global cooling' which was disproved.  Then, they called it 'global warming' which was disproves.  Now, they call it 'climate change'...well they finally found the PC words this time....because the climate is always changing.   Its not cooling, its not warming...except for the seasons.  BUT it is the same 'agenda to regulate and tax' the people in this world.   

                  Yeah, now they want to use global warming / global cooling / climate change ... to tale away our Free Speech.  I don't think so!  but...That's the Marxist Obama Administration and an agenda for a NWO by the Globalists who want to control the world.

            I am always so amazed at people who suggest we should impeach Obama. These are the same people who thought George W did a great job as president, apparently. When 'we crazy liberals' were screaming for him to be impeached (for several very good reasons); they thought nothing of it...

            I can only imagine that the majority of people who are anti-Obama didn't start following politics much until he came onto the scene in such a 'threatening' way. I remember all kinds of 'end of the world' prophesies from Christians BEFORE he was elected he in case he got elected. (I saved one of them just for funsies.)

            Bottom line... Obama has done FAR LESS offenses against 'we the people' than his predecessor did. No, he isn't perfect. Those of us who voted for him didn't expect him to be. How can ANYONE be in the position of President? There are so many compromises each administration is forced to make. But dang, conservatives sure hold him to a far higher standard than they do their own leaders.

            Then again, hypocrisy is something most Christians have MASTERED. You can sin as much as you want; and then go ask your God to forgive you and he will. You don't have to be responsible for anything you actually say or do.

            So yeah, tell us more about how utterly horrible Obama has been... I KNOW I can list one of George W's offenses for everyone one of Obamas with some left over, ha!

              I think that part of the problem is that they genuinely don't have a grip on the /bare basics/ of the US government.  I have met conservatives, hand to god, who /truly believe/ that the president /creates laws/.  They seem to have no idea that congress is a thing.  And as a result, they don't vote for congressional representatives (who have no term limits) so we have career politicians who are in congress for decades, banking on the fact that they think people blame the president for their job.  And that is strange to me.  Because I know we all had the same third grade social studies class.

              Like this chick genuinely believes that the president, rather than congress, makes laws applicable to the EPA including the annual emissions guidelines.  You think she's a troll but I swear to god she probably believes that.

              She genuinely believes that president, not congress, makes financial decisions such as inflation adjustment.  Like she actually believes that.  Do you know how many lobbyists would be out of a job were that true?

                The confusion starts with that shortly after Congress started working (in 1789), it stopped working as planned.  The founders wanted it to work the way you just described, but because a disparate group of men split into two competing Houses cannot possibly lead the nation in a coherent manner.  The Executive was simply to try to interpret the laws Congress wrote, often a difficult proposal. and execute them, no help in their formulation wanted.

                Well, that didn't work and Congress informally turned over the responsibility of formulating a vision, converting that into "proposed" laws and then trying to get Congress to pass them (which leads to the perception that the "President makes laws".  He, soon to be She, simply proposes them, Congress must still pass them. (This doesn't stop Congress from coming up with things on their own, but they, and America, look to the President to do what wasn't initially intended ... Lead")

          PATRIOTS READ AND SHARE REAL HISTORY:
          A LITTLE HISTORY THE PROGRESSIVES AND ISLAMISTS WILL NOT TEACH YOU!!
          Obama lies about the great relationship between Islam and America!!
          READ UP AND SHARE!!

          Here is a little history. Including how the term ‘Leatherneck’ came to be . . .

          Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago, the United States had declared war on Islam, and Thomas Jefferson led the charge!

          At the height of the eighteenth century, Muslim pirates were the terror of the Mediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic. They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for exorbitant ransoms. Those taken hostage were subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote heart breaking letters home, begging their government and family members to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors demanded.

          These extortionists of the high seas represented the Islamic nations of Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers – collectively referred to as the Barbary Coast – and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American Republic.

          Before the Revolutionary War, U.S. merchant ships had been under the protection of Great Britain. When the U.S. declared its independence and entered into war, the ships of the United States were protected by France. However, once the war was won, America had to protect its own fleets. Thus, the birth of the U.S. Navy.

          Beginning in1784, seventeen years before he would become president, Thomas Jefferson became America’s Minister to France. That same year, the U.S. Congress sought to appease its Muslim adversaries by following in the footsteps of European nations who paid bribes to the Barbary States, rather than engaging them in war.

          In July of 1785, Algerian pirates captured American ships, and the Dey of Algiers demanded an unheard-of ransom of $60,000. It was a plain and simple case of extortion, and Thomas Jefferson was vehemently opposed to any further payments. Instead, he proposed to Congress the formation of a coalition of allied nations who together could force the Islamic states into peace. A disinterested Congress decided to pay the ransom.

          In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli’s ambassador to Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.

          The two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam "was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."

          Despite of this stunning admission of premeditated violence on non-Muslim nations, as well as the objections of many notable American leaders, including George Washington, who warned that caving in was both wrong and would only further embolden the enemy, for the following fifteen years, the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to over twenty percent of the United States government annual revenues in 1800.

          Jefferson was disgusted. Shortly after his being sworn in as the third President of the United States in 1801, the Pasha of Tripoli sent him a note demanding the immediate payment of $225,000 plus $25,000 a year for every year forthcoming. That changed everything.

          Jefferson let the Pasha know, in no uncertain terms, what he could do with his demand. The Pasha responded by cutting down the flagpole at the American consulate and declared war on the United States. Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers immediately followed suit. Jefferson, until now, had been against America raising a naval force for anything beyond coastal defense, but having watched his nation be cowed by Islamic thuggery for long enough, decided that is was finally time to meet force with force.

          He dispatched a squadron of frigates to the Mediterranean and taught the Muslim nations of the Barbary Coast a lesson he hoped they would never forget. Congress authorized Jefferson to empower U.S. ships to seize all vessels and goods of the Pasha of Tripoli and to “cause to be done all other acts of precaution or hostility as the state of war would justify”.

          When Algiers and Tunis, who were both accustomed to American cowardice and acquiescence, saw the newly independent United States had both the will and the might’ to strike back, they quickly abandoned their allegiance to Tripoli. The war with Tripoli lasted for four more years, and raged up again in 1815. The bravery of the U.S. Marine Corps in these wars led to the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the Marine Hymn, They would forever be known as “leathernecks” for the leather collars of their uniforms, designed to prevent their heads from being cut off by the Muslim scimitars when boarding enemy ships.

          Islam, and what its Barbary followers justified doing in the name of their prophet and their god, disturbed Jefferson quite deeply. America had a tradition of religious tolerance, the fact that Jefferson, himself, had co-authored the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, but fundamentalist Islam was like no other religion the world had ever seen. A religion based on supremacism, whose holy book not only condoned but mandated violence against unbelievers was unacceptable to him. His greatest fear was that someday this brand of Islam would return and pose an even greater threat to the United States.

          This should bother every American. That the Islam’s have brought about women-only classes and swimming times at taxpayer-funded universities and public pools; that Christians, Jews, and Hindus have been banned from serving on juries where Muslim defendants are being judged, Piggy banks and Porky Pig tissue dispensers have been banned from workplaces because they offend Islamist sensibilities. Ice cream has been discontinued at certain Burger King locations because the picture on the wrapper looks similar to the Arabic script for Allah, public schools are pulling pork from their menus, on and on in the news papers….

          It’s death by a thousand cuts, or inch-by-inch as some refer to it, and most Americans have no idea that this battle is being waged every day across America. By not fighting back, by allowing groups to obfuscate what is really happening, and not insisting that the Islamists adapt to our own culture, the United States is cutting its own throat with a politically correct knife, and helping to further the Islamist agenda. Sadly, it appears that today’s America would rather be politically correct than victorious.

          Any doubts, just Google Thomas Jefferson vs the Muslim World

          MORE INFO:
          The First American Military Warriors Who Fought Against Islamic Terrorists From 1801-1805
          “From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, we fight our country’s battles, in the air, on land, and sea.”- Official Hymn of the U.S. Marine Corps. Have you ever wondered what is Tripoli doing in our Marines’ official hymn? On this memorial day, let us remember those who gave their lives that we might be free from muslim terror!

          Ambassador Thomas Jefferson had a wake up call the day he met with muslim leaders. Thomas Jefferson asked why are muslims attacking American ships when we are doing nothing to incite any form of violence. To his shock, he recorded the following words spoken by the muslim ambassador Abd Al-Rahman: “it was written in the Qur’an, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged the authority of mohammad were sinners, that it was the right and duty of every muslim to make war upon nonmuslims they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Muslim who should be slain in battle was believed to go to Paradise.”

          Remember there was no Israel nation at this point and there was no American military bases in Saudi Arabia to blame these muslim terrorist attacks. All America wanted to do was to pass by the open seas and engage in fair trade. Even liberal PBS McNeil/Lehrer reported one day on America’s first war by President Thomas Jefferson against the muslim terrorists.

          To the surprise of many in our modern liberal and libertarian false worlds, our nation formed its first national Navy and united beyond individual States to a national force, due to muslim terrorist attacks at the foundational years of our nation. The founders of our nation believed that we needed to be united against the threat of islamic terrorism or we would fall as divided States. Muslims were terrorizing Americans by forcefully boarding American ships and beheading our men and enslaving our women and children. Americans were being sold in the open muslim market.

          When they offered America an option to pay a nonmuslim tax of up to 1 million dollars per year so they would “allow” us to sail without their attacks on our ships, sadly, John Adams agreed to pay the bribe according to the European model of that day. At one point, up to 20% of our national budget was dedicated to paying off muslim terrorists. Thomas Jefferson argued that the more you pay a terrorist, the more he’ll demand. When he became President, he called on our brave Marines and Navy to go overseas and kick the butt of those muslim terrorists who were ruthlessly attacking our American citizens. {Jefferson used the common colloquialism of his day for this.}

          Muslims made the grave mistake of believing that a small nation just formed would not have the power to fight the muslim powers overseas. By the Grace of God, The LORD granted our Marines and Navy great victories and the muslim powers were forced to return several hundred American women children and men. Unfortunately, our first treaty sadly stipulated that America would agree to pay $60,000.00 for these “slaves”. President Jefferson tried to call it “tribute” instead of “ransom”, but rightly, William Eaton remained strongly opposed to the State Department diplomat Tobias Lear on this important matter. By 1807, Muslims began to attack American ships once again and terrorize our citizens abroad. In 1815, Commodores William Bainbridge and Stephen Decatur led our military victories to force muslims to sign ending all “nonmuslim” tax payments by the United States to faithful muslims and that finally put a stop to the muslim attacks on our citizens for a long time.

          However, Thomas Jefferson knew the danger of islam was not over. He secured the great Naval Hero rear Admiral John Paul Jones to try to fight off the muslims in Constantinople and return Constantinople to the Christians who had been attacked by muslim ottoman forces and overtaken after several hundred years of failed attempts by previous muslim rulers to attack the peaceful Christians
          Many of our brave men and women have sacrificed their lives fighting off muslim terrorists.

          Remember this battle did not begin by us, but it started in the last 1700s against our nation. Prior to that it had started in the beginning of islam by mohammad the false prophet of islam. It has continued for over 1388 years.

          I sincerely hope that our generation be the final generation that allow the terror of islam to be passed on to the next generation!

Of course, she left out the atrocities, and the genocide committed by Columbus, the trans-Atlantic slave trade,the institution of slavery that lasted nearly 400 years, ethnic cleansing of the First Nations, the genocide of over 100 million native people, and the fact that U.S. presidents like Washington and Jefferson were kidnappers, rapists, and slaveholders. Jefferson is also known to be a pedophile.

              Of course this is just the short list of crimes against humanity committed by Christian European Colonialists, and then later by the good people of the United States. The Muslims will have to work very hard to surpass the atrocities committed by Christians here  on this continent.

Furthermore,by suggesting the Trans-Atlantic slave trade was actually a blessing in disguise, you are also suggesting that crimes against humanity are acceptable as long as we can rationalize that the ends justifies the means. Now, go ahead and give us another brilliant observation. You were definitely made to order for the OP.

                    There are a t0n 0f pe0ple, including several human right's gr0ups, wh0 believe that the 0riginal anti-slavery laws must be rewritten as they currently exclude pris0ners, and this can be seen as a vi0lati0n 0f human rights.  These gr0ups believe that slavery sh0uld be 0utlawed in it's entirety.

                  It's okay.  They'll be the first to occupy the FEMA camps, after Obama takes away their guns.  They'll be forced to participate in gay marriages by atheists wearing burkas.  That's after the gub'mint bans Christian churches and forces pregnant Christians (watch out, Palins!) to have abortions.  Oh, and hundreds of Planned Parenthood offices will open all across the U.S. providing free birth control to everyone.  And let's not forget free cell phones for illegal immigrants, funded by increasing the tax rate to 98% for the wealthy.

                  Yes, a liberal utopia will ensue, once Obama declares martial law rather than give up his reign to Trump, who will be elected by righteous conservatives, but denied the Presidency by the Antichrist, Barack Hussein Obama.

        I think you and Dr. Carson are right to raise the question of religious belief in relation to presidential candidates. To address the issue, do you think all presidential candidates who profess a religious belief should be asked to demonstrate their commitment to upholding the Constitution by explicitly stating whether or not they would violate the Constitution in favor of that religious belief? In other words, do you think the electorate has the right to know how a presidential candidate would behave in the event of a conflict of interest between their religious belief and the Constitution, before they become president?

        Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz, for example, have both expressed support for Kim Davis, who has not only demonstrated that her interpretation of Christianity is incompatible with the Constitution, but also demonstrated that she is willing to violate the Constitution in favor of those religious beliefs, rather than resign. If the test posed by Dr. Carson (how compatible is a person's religious belief with the Constitution?) is applied to Kim Davis, then she would fail that test.

        Luckily Ms. Davis is not running for president, but Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz are, and their support for her raises the question of whether their interpretation of Christianity is compatible with the Constitution. It also raises the question of whether they would be able to live up to the oath the office of the President of the United States, which says: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". If they believe it is preferable to violate the Constitution rather than preserve it, then clearly they would be unable to live up to this oath, which the president elect is required to take before becoming president.

        So I share yours and Dr. Carson's concern that a future President would not be able to uphold the Constitution because their religious beliefs are incompatible with it. Do you think the measures suggested above would be a useful way of helping the public make an informed decision?

          I wise that the Supreme Court judges would have used some higher intelligence before they handed down their decision on same sex marriages that they forced on all states. They had to know that they were going to create mega problems being that America is basically Judaeo Christian.

          I believe that congress needs to act and come up with a smart solution to protect everyone's Constitutional rights.

          And, that no mater what religion or belief system a person who is running for the presidency is, that their beliefs can not conflict with the Constitution. Islam's tenets of Sharia law conflicts with the Constitution heavily.

          I love reading your wordy posts.

            I'm not sure the issue is about what religious belief someone has. I think it may be more about whether someone would uphold the Constitution, regardless of their religious belief? Senator Lindsey Graham, for example, is a Christian and supports traditional marriage, but said he believes Davis "has to apply the law to everyone."

            In contrast, by supporting Davis' actions, Carson, Huckabee and Cruz are strongly indicating that they advocate violating the Constitution to accommodate religious beliefs. That attitude is incompatible with the job of President. In fact it's incompatible with being a member of Congress, as Cruz currently is. That leads me to believe Ben Carson would do better asking how religious belief would affect the presidency of the real (all Christian) candidates, than harping on about the beliefs of imaginary Muslim ones.

The two men were fired when they refused to deliver alcohol for the carrier, saying it was against their religious values as practicing Muslims.

              This is the kind of crap that is happening in the United States.  Muslims are protected and awarded. While businesses and families suffer. Its likely those two men will never see the money because the business was forced to shut down.   

              Now had those been two white Christian who didn't want to drive the trucks because of their religion, I would bet it would have been a totally different story.  Things are on a downward spiral here.

          I'm not sure if any of that is intended as a reply. If it is, then I don't know what the relevance is. What I do know is that none of the candidates I'm aware of who are seeking their party's nomination are Muslim. It seems that all candidates are Christians. So my question remains: what's the point focussing on how compatible (or not) Islam is with the Constitution, when all the candidates are Christian, so ipso facto, the next president will be a Christian. Doesn't it make more sense to focus on how compatible certain Christian beliefs are with the constitution, especially in light of recent events indicating that some candidates may believe it is better to violate the Constitution on religious grounds, than to preserve it? Wouldn't it be more helpful for the electorate to know how the candidates who are actually running for nominations would reconcile the differences between their personal beliefs and the Constitution?

        Here are some more talking points for this thread, Don W. 

        I would be glad to discus any of them with you.

        "The [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work is a grand Jihad
        in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and
        "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the
        believers so that it is eliminated and [Allah's] religion is made victorious
        all over other religions."

          Examples of beliefs that are incompatible with the Constitution can be found in all three Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism). I'd be happy to take you through them if you want. So, notwithstanding your preoccupation with only one of those religions, could it be that the issue is the nature of religious belief itself.

          Increasingly, the actions of some people who hold religious beliefs (including Christians) indicate that they cannot (or find it very difficult to) reconcile their religious belief with civic duty. The unique problem for religious believers is that the nature of their beliefs makes everything else (like the Constitution) secondary. The result is that political compromise becomes difficult for the religious believer. And this creates the situation we saw with Kim Davis, which essentially says: unless a government service complies with my religious beliefs, that government service will be shut down. That's a really big problem. 

          The United States is not a theocracy. And the fact that there are lots of Christians in the country, does not make it a Christian country. The founding fathers went to great lengths to ensure no religion was established as the national religion. And if you want to suggest the country is Christian because the principles of the Constitution are based on Christian values, I'd be happy to take you through why that's not the case (the concepts of "natural rights" and "social contract" came from philosophers like Locke, Gassendi, Hobbes who were themselves inspired by Greek and Roman philosophy). Christianity (or any belief in the supernatural) is not a prerequisite for understanding or cherishing the values laid out in the Constitution.

          If you want to continue with what seems to be nothing more than an anti-Islam thread, then you are of course free to do so. Or we could take the opportunity to have a meaningful conversation about the difficulties for Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc. in reconciling their religious beliefs with the Constitution; their religious duty with their civic duty; and their religious communities with a pluralistic society. That's the conversation I thought you were trying to have.

            Don, I think all people who seek political office or who are paid out of taxpayer money should be required to uphold the Constitution regardless of their religious beliefs. Kim Davis should have been recalled when she first started her rant and "sit-in". I believe that if a state-licensed pharmacist refuses to dispense birth control pills to a woman, that pharmacist should be fired because those pills could be medically necessary for a hormonal imbalance or endometriosis, and it's not their place to judge.  Likewise, a person in private enterprise should not take a job that would entail doing something against his religion, i.e., hauling liquor. To refuse to do so harms the company's operations, so why should there even be any grounds for a discrimination suit here. I don't understand that. BTW, I am not a Republican nor a right-wing nut. I just believe that people should not take jobs that might be against their religion in the first place, and if they do take them, they should do them without complaint.

          Some people with religious belief are unable to compromise. That is the real danger to society. Whether those people happen to be Muslims, Christians or another religion, is irrelevant. As societal values (e.g. the right of same-sex couples to marry) start to diverge from traditional religious values, some people with religious beliefs may find it harder to reconcile their beliefs with the law and the Constitution. How a president, or government employee, behaves in that circumstance is crucial.

          The United States was born of the Enlightenment, not of religious belief. This makes sense, if you consider that they were revolting against a "divinely" chosen king. The revolution itself was about making the point that every person (regardless of religion, social status etc.) is equal. So barring someone from being president on the grounds that they are Muslim, would be unconstitutional.

            It's staggering.  Only perhaps the Italians come close to the U.S. in the way political adversity can grip and pervert the mind.  Obama is a centre-left Democrat, who happens not to be a white Republican.  That's your problem.  Nothing else.  It's simply amazing that the GOP approach to tackling Democrats in power is to try jail them or impeach them.  If their policies are *so* bad, then all you should really need is to court public opinion and defeat them.  Let your arguments stand for you, they should be strong enough, right?  The tin-foil hat and conspiracy theory stuff does your credibility no favours.

          Let’s look at how strictly President Obama adheres to the Muslim faith.

          Muslims are not permitted to eat pork.
          President Obama his often been observed eating pork.

          The Muslim faith tends to oppose abortion.
          President Obama supports a woman’s right to have an abortion.

          Muslims believe religious doctrine should be taught in public schools.
          President Obama believes religion should be a private matter and not taught in public schools.

          Muslims oppose homosexuality and want gay marriage to remain illegal.
          President Obama believes gay marriage should be legalized.

          Muslims tend to believe women should obey their husbands.
          President Obama believes women should be equal to men in every way.

          Most Muslims believe that government should be based on religious principles.
          President Obama believes that government and religion should be separate.

          Muslims are required to face Mecca and pray 5 times a day.
          President Obama has never done this.

          Muslims engage in fasting during the month of Ramadan.
          President Obama has never done this.

          Muslims are forbidden to drink alcohol.
          President Obama has been known to enjoy an occasional drink.

          President Obama was baptized as a Christian, has attended Christian Church throughout his adult life, his children are baptized as Christians, he has never been known to attend religious services in a mosque, and apparently does not observe any of the main tenets of the Muslim faith.

          There are only two obvious conclusions we can draw from all this information: Either President Obama has lived his entire life, starting at birth, pretending to be a Christian just to hide his secret Muslim faith, or people who still insist that President Obama is a Muslim are morons.

                      Grandma Sarah Obama has repeatedly claimed she was present when the turd was pooped out in Mombassa, Kenya.  Michelle is on record saying "we just visited my husband's home-country of Kenya" back when BHO was a STATE senator.  Now why on God's green earth would Illinois send a state senator to Kenya unless he really was born there?  Bill Ayer's mother referred to a young Bathhouse Barry as "that foreign kid we're helping put through college".  Obama himself stated to a overflowing lecture-hall in Illinois that "You don't have to be born here to help your community. I was born in Kenya."  On page 26 of "Dreams from My Father" BHO claims to have found his "birth certificate" with a newspaper article about Obama Senior.  Whatever happened to THAT Birth Certificate?  Why have so many experts analyzed the Hawaiian Birth Certificate on the white house website a FORGERY?
                      Why couldn't Obama log into his own stinking ACA on his stolen SSN?
                      Why did Bill Clinton once refer to this usurper as a "non-citizen"?
                      Most importantly why did Obama himself write a mini-bio for the Harvard Law Review Digest directory proudly proclaiming he was "born in Kenya"?

                    Greetings, once again, Mr. Prepper. Did you say “ONLY U.S. President?” Apparently, you know little about American History.

                    Chester A. Arthur, 21st President of the United States, was born October 5, 1829.  His mother was born in Vermont and his father was born in Ireland and was NOT an American citizen. {1}

                    Likewise, President Obama’s mother was an American and his Kenyan father was NOT an American citizen. Your many posts making unsubstantiated claims about his eligibility under our Constitution simply proves that you are among the remaining few on the planet to accept the truth.

                    More important, perhaps, is the fact that asking questions you can not answer is not evidence of what you know but, rather, proof of what you don’t know.

                        Your reply contains two other false statements worth noting. President Obama was not born in Kenya and he is not Indonesian.  Therefore, the number of false statements in your posts support the conclusion that there is no logical reason for anyone to believe anything you post unless you can provide verifiable evidence.

It's disturbing to me to watch Americans talk about what a great country they live in while they tear down the leader for no other reason than the media, the political pundits tear into him and convince the American people (who for the most part, do not learn on their own) that he's this and that.

            Sure, I'll have a cup of tea with you.  Thank you! 

            It seems to me that Barack Obama purposely refuses to go after a real enemy, Muslim terrorists, and alternatively goes after a fictitious enemy called guns.  I believe he is incompetent as president to say the least. He doesn't make me wonder what side he is on, its pretty clear by his actions and inactions where some is expected and would be appropriate.

            Obama has demanded Congress pass tougher gun control laws. They won't, so he will pass more unconstitutional executive orders. He tries to get people to believe it is a key part to combating ISIS.  That doesn't make any sense at all.  No, a leader would say, "If you have a permit to carry, carry."   But, he would rather disarm Americans and put them in a more dangerous position while he sells weapons to Saudi Arabia and supplies ISIS with weapons.  Nice to chill with you over some tea! 

            People are more concerned with Obama's unexceptionable muslim immigration, which has proven out to cause deaths to Americans because of radical jihadist muslims.  Have you forgotten, or don't you care?

          One by one your lies fall to the truth, Colorfulone.

          As to PBO saying "He will stand with Muslims".  As every thinking person knows, he NEVER said that or wrote it in his book.  What he DID write is this:

          "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

          In other words, he will "stand with  Arab and Pakistani Americans" should America's racism build to such an extent as to endanger there lives.

              Richard Black served in the US Marine Corps and retired as a Colonel in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) corps before being elected to the Virginia legislature. He maintains that the Assad government is effectively fighting against Islamic State and protecting the remaining Christians of Syria. Its fall, he says, would allow IS to quickly seize Jordan and Lebanon, and continue its drive westward.

              “I believe that Saudi Arabia and Turkey are the two greatest dangers to world peace. It is Saudi Arabia, through the Wahhabist doctrine, that is spreading terrorism across the globe. It’s not Iran, it’s not Syria or any other country.”

              (Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan)  “Erdogan has a dream of becoming a new Ottoman Empire. He’s a very calculating, very vicious individual and, I think, a great danger. Erdogan won an absolute majority of the Turkish parliament, which will enable him to rewrite the constitution. Once he had that total power to impose an absolute dictatorship – which he intends to do – and he publicly said that his model is that of Adolph Hitler.”

              At its height in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman Empire encompassed southeast Europe, western Asia, the Caucasus, North Africa and the Horn of Africa. During World War I, the Ottoman Empire declared a military jihad on France, Russia, and Great Britain, but ultimately lost.

              The Adolph Hitler comment Black referred to comes from an interview back in January when Erdogan told journalists that he wanted to transform his office into a US-style executive “super-presidency,” through constitutional reforms.


              “In a unitary system (such as Turkey’s) a presidential system can work perfectly,” said Erdogan, according to Agence France-Presse. “There’s already examples in the world and in history. You can see it when you look at Hitler’s Germany.”

              After that analogy caught news headlines, the president’s office said in a statement that it was “unacceptable” to interpret Erdogan’s remarks as endorsement of Nazism.

              “Our president…has declared that the Holocaust and anti-Semitism, along with Islamophobia, are crimes against humanity,” a press statement read, adding that Hitler’s Germany "had disastrous consequences” for the political system and could not be held up as a model.

                It would seem, Susie, that Dick Black's "....strong Conservative views, both fiscally and socially..." (Wikipedia) and "Wahhabism" are not very dissimilar.   Both put ultra conservative, extremist views out to the world and expect others to take on their extremist views.

                But I can see clearly why those video clips would be attractive to you, Susie.

                When you give the slightest lip-service to any extreme political or religious message, you need to be very careful.  They are likely to turn around and bite the hand that feeds them.

                    Yes, and it is clearly a cultural matter, not based solely in their religion.  Otherwise every Muslim country would have the same laws.
                    Similarly with Christian countries.  Some accept the freedom of expression and companionship, supporting LGBT relationships.  Others don't.  It's a cultural matter, not religious.  Therefore, you cannot apply extreme laws to all of mankind as fanatical religious people would want to do.

              While you are right, there are a few things he stands for that I agree with, the death penalty for example.  But his comment about Muslims (among many other things) shows me he does not have an inkling of what the Constitution and this Nation is all about.

              I have recently finished books on James Madison and Thomas Jefferson and have listened to many lectures on the founding of America as seen through various lens.  There were many in those formative days that thought like Carson vis-a-vis the superiority of Christianity over any other religion.  Many wouldn't have minded a theocracy like a few of the states had become.  Both Jefferson and Madison fought very hard weed out the religious aspects of Virginia's gov't and to avoid support of any kind to the the established brand of Protestantism that was popular there. 

              I forget which media I heard/read it in (I think it was James Madison's biography) but Jefferson went so far as to put Muslims, by name, on equal footing with any other religion to hold a federal office (or one in Virginia).

              If Carson had been at the Constitutional Convention, he would have been appalled at what he heard regarding where religion ought to stand in politics (it shouldn't)   I would think he would have fought hard against the ratification of the Constitution.

                Thomas Jefferson, who wrote in 1813: “History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. … In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty.” 

                He was talking about the Catholic Church which made/makes false claims of being Christians.  "Christians" get a bad name mostly because of the evil doings of the Catholic Church throughout history.  The Catholics were always trying to destroy the Protestants, who fought back for their lives...

                Anti-Catholicism is an interesting read in history.  Seems forever the Pope has been called the antichrist because of the false doctrines and lack of Christ being the Cornerstone of the Church as in the Bible.

                But, Obama likes to bring Pope Francis into politics.  (shrug).  No surprise. 

                Also interesting to read about in history is where primarily Protestant government forces were in opposition with the United States. Great Britain comes to mind.  We can learn a lot from history and how things evolve and why.  --  Thanks!

                  I suppose the use of the word priest in that quote makes you think Catholic. There were enough examples in the colonies of Protestant sects causing trouble and attempting to legislate their brand of religion to know that Jefferson was not referring solely to the Catholic church.

                  Interestingly enough, the Baptists were big on pushing for full separation of church and state. I suppose because they were a minority sect at the time and had suffered some persecution at the hands of some of the larger protestant sects.

                      If you do care, read up on American history so you don't assume the Catholics are the scourge of the New World.  I realize many would like to believe that everything was Christian, Christian Christian. It just isn't so.  I think the whole thing was that many understood (because they had intimate knowledge) that any religious sect, given the opportunity to govern would do so in a tyrannical manner; by the observation of any under their authority who weren't of that particular sect.

                      Think about Christ. He didn't seek to change the Roman empire He sought to appeal to the individual heart.  Why is that, in your opinion? Why did he not seek to join the Roman senate and enact laws?

                        Because God looks on the heart of man.   Maybe read the Bible if you have many unanswered questions. 

                        Its good to read 3 or 4 different versions at one time (or more), with a Thesaurus, and a Hebrew and Greek Bible dictionary (I prefer the Strong's Concordance Lexicon). 

                        I have been a student of the Bible for many, many years.

                        World Order isn't the Catholic Church's idea.  But, any attempt to create it a NWO by men is going to fail terribly in the end.  The kingdom of God is yet to come, and it will be as in the days of paradise in the Garden of Eden according to Scripture.  But, people don't care about that.  Watch, someone is going to jump all over me for saying that on this thread.  I can just heard demons screaming now.  tongue

                        Same-sex marriages can never be consummated.
                        Global-warming is the biggest lie since evolution.
                        Bernie Sanders was once a dual-citizen with Israel.
                        Oswald WAS a "patsy".
                        The following men were never " natural-born" citizens: Cruz, Rubio, McCain, Obama, Jindahl & Chester Arthur.
                        Kenyan-born Obama is the Antichrist & this goofy Jesuit pope is his False Prophet.

            Can a Muslim be a good American?

            This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:

            "Theologically - no, because his allegiance is to Allah.
            Religiously - no, because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Qur'an 2:256).
            Scripturally - no, because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Qur'an.
            Geographically - no, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
            Socially - no, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
            Politically - no, because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders) who teach the annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan.
            Domestically - no, because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat his wife when she disobeys him (Qur'an 4:34).
            Intellectually - no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
            Philosophically - no, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur'an does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist!

            Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic Spiritually - no, because when we declare 'one nation under God,' we are referring to the Christian's God and not Allah.

            Therefore, after much study and deliberation, perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans/Canadians; they cannot and will not integrate into the great melting pot of America.

            The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. Muslims everywhere have said they will destroy us from within."

            Time to stop the political correctness.  smile   God bless!

                  Blame your neighbour, your politicians, your business people, the weather, the wind, the Muslims, the ethics....so, so convenient to pass the buck.  How about blaming blind, head-in-the-sand religion and belief systems for the difficulties you are facing?
                  Even if your current President is lax in some way, you cannot hold him responsible for retrogressive actions by people in Congress or Big Business....selfishness can come from many different quarters.  Just try to make sure you personally don't fall into that category.  If a million people did the same, that would have an enormous positive influence on your country's welfare.

            If I am to be encouraged to continue seeing you in this light, it would help to hear some outright condemnation coming from you and a lot of other "moderate" Muslim people.   How about coming out loud and clear, that you reject that extremism; that you reject the teachings of so-called holy men, who encourage young people to strap explosives to themselves and blow themselves to smithereens?  Condemn those who cut of the heads of people in a most barbaric, blood-thirsty, unforgiving act.   Condemn those who mutilate women's bodies in order to lower their enjoyment of sex. 

            Come out and clearly encourage other Muslim people like yourself to condemn cruelty and backward-thinking laws.  Then I can gladly welcome you as a brother.....if I am not rejected for being of no "faith" at all.   I call for the same reasonable thinking and actions from extremist people of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, any religion at all.   We are all human with the same basic needs and the world needs us to join hands in learning to live in unity.

                      I assume the rest of your post was to try and convince me that ISIS is a bigger kind of crazy.  Well, if you're using a gun to kill multiple people, I see everyone as the same kind of crazy.

                        I do not advise anyone to find the latest video that the Islamic State made, it is graphic, and the threats they make are clear.  They blow people into pieces in the video.  This is a different kind of sick then you or I could ever imagine, Valeant.   They aren't the typical mentally ill people. 

                        The Islamic State is a Sunni Salafist jihadist group. It claims religious authority over all Muslims across the world and aspires to bring all of the Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its political control.

                I think it is probably unfair to compare the two.  I agree terrorism is terrorism, all types equally bad. However, many Islamic terrorists make a point of insisting it is done in the name of Allah. I don't remember hearing of any of the ones you have referenced making a point of ensuring we all understood their acts of violence were in the name of any god.

                It can certainly be argued that the Islamic terrorists are not following Islam and that their claims of acting in the name of that god are not  valid. But, they did say it so we if we can't blame Islam we can certainly blame their interpretation of it.  We could only blame the actions of domestic terrorists on their religion if they make a stated claim of having been driven to the violence by religious beliefs.

          One's religion does not determine eligibility for a secular governmental position. Your argument is fear based and reflects no understanding of the religion of Islam. When you say Muslim you think only of a narrow group of people that you don't truly understand. Islam has nearly as many denominations as Christianity. Islam has been a major contributor towards science, mathematics, art, and philosophy. While the Catholic church was destroying the writings of Greek and Roman philosophers the people of Islam were preserving them. The first nation to recognize the United States as a nation was a Muslim nation, Morocco. They did it even before France. To stereotype a group of people taking up nearly a quarter of the world's population is fear based thinking. And even those that are hostile to the United States have good reason to be since we as a nation have been meddling in their lives and causing havoc for over a hundred years. If some foreign power showed up at your home, overthrew your government, destabilized your nation, killed your family or sold weapons to your enemies on the cheap, or anything like that, you would hate them too. Anger and hate perpetuates this crap. If you are truly Christian then you will reexamine your views because Christ told us to love others, to turn the other cheek, to be peace makers. I am Christian. I AM NOT liberal. I am a historian. I am on the side of humanity. I am for peace, but peace cannot happen while we justify hating each other for being different. I am in favor of defending ourselves from aggressors, but I am also in favor of others defending themselves from our aggression as a nation. Our policies need to change because our government has been doing some nasty, horrible things for the last 100 years in the name of the people of this nation. A patriot loves his nation but does not support bad behavior on the part of his or her government.

            Oh no, I do not think that way.   I take a stand against radicalized Islamic terrorists who chop of heads, commit mass shootings to murder people, etc.  I hope you do too,... if so, we agree. 

            I have long time friends who are Muslim, and they are good law abiding citizens who believe in working to support their families and are productive members of society.  The word "friends" is one I don't use lightly.

              Good morning, Sgt.   Your reminders have brought me to study about the "Jacobin Illuminati"...I'm just getting into it, but thought that you might find this interesting reading material as well. 

              Sample:  (How the bankers took over the World)

              "Many writers and historians agree with Washington and have concluded that the power behind the Jacobin Club was in fact the Illuminati. In this respect, I have already shown that the connection between Weishaupt and Robespierre -a key figure in the creation of the Jacobin Club- is an historical fact (see chapter 4: Adam Weishaupt and the Bavarian Illuminati). In regards to the Illuminati in America, it is well documented that many Jacobins went there, and tried to stir a second revolution through various groups, known as the democratic clubs. After overthrowing King Louis XVI in France, the Jacobins sent an ambassador to America, Edmond-Charles Genêt, to build support for the French Revolution. [4] Washington preferred to keep America neutral. In fact all the Founding Fathers –except Franklin and Jefferson- were appalled by the French Revolution, for it was reckless and bloody. But Genêt was determined to involve America, even if it meant overthrowing Washington and his newly created government. A proof of the extent to which Genêt would go can be found in a letter from John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, in which he says: “You certainly never felt the terrorism excited by Genêt in 1793. When 10,000 people in the streets of Philadelphia, day after day, threaten to drag Washington out of his house and affect a revolution in the government, or compel it to declare war in favour of the French Revolution.”"

            Obama is allowing it to happen, he knows how radical Islam rolls.  An official in Human Intelligence found out about a mosque here in the USA that was training and radicalizing muslims. He went to the mosque to confront the situation head on, ... he was arrested for a hate crime.  True story! 

            People at the night club were trying to warn the owners about the shooter before hand, because of his unhinged behavior and comments. They knew he was a muslim, but they wanted to be politically correct and not be accused of racism, so they did nothing.  Same thing with a neighbor of the shooters in San Bernardino. 

            Take our guns, get into everyone's SmartPhones, etc. are goals we see happening.  Not rounding up known radical muslims that are mentally ill ticking time bombs.

                Is this a joke? Yes, he has charisma but there is no universal health care. What we have is a universal requirement to subsidize the health companies with negligible benefits to show for it. What we ended up with was every special interest having a say and the American people being left at the wayside without a voice.

                What war have we been extracted from? And, what conflicts are we currently engaged in? I don't think we have a major difference in the number of soldiers in harm's way now.

                Fighting gun nuts with genuine emotion is ghandi like? Hero worship may be fun but it isn't something we can all participate in when it is imagined. Genuine emotion doesn't solve problems. A realistic approach which will hold those who are the root cause responsible does. And, being a politician (therefore being in the back pocket of corporate interests) we won't see that happen. There's an old adage 'politics is acting for ugly people.' Although I think Obama is anything other than ugly he is still a politician and that is still an act.

                Who is back into prosperity? Not America. I don't blame the administration for this but I can't credit them for something that hasn't been done either.

                Changing people's hearts and minds around the globe? Examples, please. I don't see any positive effect on our enemies. Getting a noble peace prize without having gotten his feet wet in office doesn't equate to an achievement on his part. It equates to an example of why these prizes don't really mean anything.

                I don't have anything against Obama. But,I am a realist who has to roll my eyes when someone with blinders attempts to imply others are racist for simply being realistic.

                  I do not agree with everything the "Left" does or says.  There are many people on that side of politics who are only in it to make a name for themselves.   There also many who do not have any idea of how to manage economics successfully, in a sustainable way.  They spend money like it's water from the clouds, yet never consider how to replenish the reservoir and plan for tomorrow. 

                  Converse to that, I cannot agree with the selfishness which pervades capitalistic politics either.  Where those associated with business consider themselves to be immune to the basic ethics of fairness and honesty.  They steam-roller over anyone who gets in their way, drive countless millions to starvation and poverty, ride around in swanky vehicles and aircraft, drive reporting by the mass media in any direction which suits their ulterior motives.  Then they get up in front of the same media and try to convince us they are "good Christian people."   

                  Who is lying, you ask?   Anyone who puts their own selfish wants before the genuine life-sustaining  needs of their neighbours. 

                  What is it with you, saying same-gender marriage is selfish?   Why is it so bad for two persons who love each other to live in the same house together, sleep in the same bed together?   Who are YOU to make such judgment?   Two people who contribute to society, pay their taxes, work hard, nurture children, very often in much more meaningful and caring family lives than many heterosexual partnerships.   They are no more selfish than anyone else in society.  So don't muddy the waters here with that sick, ignorant prejudice. 

                  Health care for those who are most in need is a fine and essential requirement of a civilised society.  But you watch who goes into the local government hospital or care facility, hoping for a free handout.  It's not the down-and-out that clutter the service.  It's those who could and can afford to pay, but greedily jump on the band wagon.   Who places greatest strain upon the Emergency Department?  It's those who don't care to drive on the roads with caution, but expect someone to pick them up and treatment after drunken partying....i.e., those who can afford to do so.

                  There are many arguments, I know.  Not all that I have said here is without question.   I can be in error, like any one else.   But I don't hear much genuine good sense being discussed here regarding the politics of your country or mine.   Adversarial politics and legal proceedings don't make for a better world.  They hold us back.   Let's get back to work.....which I must do now.  It's late morning and lots to do for the local environment.

                  By the way, as an after-thought, if Rome should fall, that might be a good thing.  Hypocrisy knows no bounds when it comes to religion.

        It was also Obama who was and is a lifelong church-going Christian.  As if that matters.  Citizens come from all religions and none, and are all Constitutionally eligible to become President if the people elect them.  Anyone trying to stop that from happening basically doesn't agree with democracy.

          Well said. Christians continually insist that this nation was founded on Christianity and it should stay that way. No, our founding fathers gave us Freedom of Religion to FREE PEOPLE from the bondage they put people in - at least, from a government perspective.

          "The clergy ... believe that any portion of power confided to me [as President] will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly: for I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. But this is all they have to fear from me: and enough, too, in their opinion."

              Oh please! The lives of Christian women have been just as curtailed by Christian men as Muslim men have been to Muslim women. It is religions, in general, that are misogynistic. MAYBE you don't see things this way very often anymore; but 'the place' of men in the home and for women to be submissive is ingrained within Christianity. The only difference is - most Christian women don't realize it because they have been TAUGHT to be so submissive and meek and blah, blah, blah...

              If you are not from this country, then you have your information wrong and need to do your research about the good 'ol US of A. The quote I gave was by Thomas Jefferson, one of our founding forefathers. Why in the WORLD would he say something like that along with many other things like it? He wrote our Declaration of Independence.

              Yeah, do your research and stop believing what people tell you to believe. 'Christians' have obviously gotten ahold of you. smile

                I'm not so sure they did much 'country developing', but the groups that survived (Jamestown didn't) sure helped the population grow; and they also get credit for first contact with indigenous Indian tribes. Apparently, they did Okay at first... I'm not sure at what point 'our country' decided that they were useless, savage bands of Humans. I mean, I seriously doubt any of those original, beginning colonies would have survived without 'those savages'. And those savages were not Christian - they were already here with their own set of well-developed (and much older) spiritual beliefs. What did good Christian men end up doing to them?

                  More importantly... is WHY they felt justified in killing people who didn't have Christian beliefs. After all, people who do not believe in Jesus Christ as a personal savior are going to hell anyway, right? And they didn't have a hope in hell of converting the savages at that point. So 'God' must not have any investment or interest in them. It's not much different than killing an animal, really. Killing people who are not Christians at that time was supposedly 'the will of God' because 'God gave us this country to his Christian believers'.

                  Of course, when some of these natives were converted to Christianity; they become much more willing and trustworthy puppets. They did the same thing to slaves - converted them all from their original belief sets to the Christian 'salvation' one.

                  Bottom line... I do not even sort of believe in a 'God' like Christians do (I used to be a Christian, so I know what precious ideals I am rejecting); But, if I did... I wouldn't want to follow a God like that. Why would I? Why would anyone?

                  Oh yeah... because you HAVE to believe it; or you will burn in hell for an ETERNITY! There are reasons why Christians are so overly-terrified and have their noses in everyone else's spiritual and political business: if you don't think that you have any other choice to believe anything else; and you are SURE that all the people you love and/or care about who don't believe like you are ALL going to hell... Wouldn't you be a little over-the-top in your desperation to save the world AND follow authority figures almost unquestionably because they are 'always chosen by God'. (President Obama is an exception to the rule for some weird reason.)

                  I'm not sticking up for Christians.... This is the really irritating thing about them... This is the 21st Century and the Internet is FULL of resources on the origins of their holy book. I simply wish that they would STOP listening to anyone else and START doing the research for themselves on the history of their religion, where it came from and WHY that book was written the way it was.

                  You can even get so involved as to go to the Vatican and other places that keep 'original' manuscripts (be sure to take along an ancient text expert) and do even more digging and/or to verify that what the internet (and books - there are so many of them!) says is true or not. There are many sources... if there was just one, it would be different. The bible is a dynamically-harmful book for so many reasons.

                  Christians need to stop sipping at that baby food; BURN it - and start developing and listening to their own instincts and intuitions; WHILE using the amazing brain that God gave them.

            I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

            This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of "Muslims":

            The following is the correct wording of the quote you cite.

            "In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Question his unwillingness to go after Wall Street after the crash and having the tax payer pick up the tab. Go after his backing corporate America in their eagerness to throw more Americans out of work with promoting the TPP. Take him on for allowing the health insurance industry to continue to over charge Americans for healthcare in their profit driven version of affordable health insurance. Look at how he has switched the law on the illegal immigrant problem by allowing illegal aliens the right to stay here because they decided to have babies here to establish their claim on citizenship.

          Well, there is a law which states that only natural born citizens can be elected to the office of president so that allows us to avoid the problems you are worried about. And there is a law which states that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

          Being of a certain religion and being of foreign birth are not one in the same no matter how often people attempt to pretend that they are. I'm curious how it would be accepted if it was said no Jew would ever be acceptable as president. Or no Christian. Our religions are not what disqualifies us to represent the people. It is what we feel our religion forces us to believe we have the right to impose on others. Although I am Christian I can think of many prominently professed Christians I wouldn't vote for; simply because their religious beliefs are not in line with anything I consider to be American (or Christian) values. This wouldn't put me in a position to make a sweeping statement about all Christians. I honestly believe that would be small minded and incredibly prejudicial.

However, knowing we need to somehow wrest power back into the hands of the electorate and saying the Anti Christ is among us are fairly different statements. I've heard that s**t every time a Democrat is in office.

                  Yes, we have heard about the anitchrist so many times, but according to 1 John 2:18 "...there many antichrists..."

                  I came across this interesting video a couple of months ago.
                  "DID JESUS GIVE US THE NAME OF THE ANTICHRIST?"
                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgHUZXgNAWo

                  “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” (Luke 10:18)
                  The Greek word for ‘lightning’ is ‘astrape’, and the Hebrew equivalent is ‘Baraq,
                  https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/le … &t=KJV

                  Isaiah 14:14  “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” (Lucifer or Satan, is quoted)
                  The word ‘heights’ is  Bamah.
                  https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/le … &t=KJV

                  From the video,  “If spoken by a Jewish rabbi today, influenced by the poetry of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew … ‘I saw Satan as Baraq Ubamah.’”

                  If Obama is the antichrist I doubt that he would have bowed in submission before the Saudi King. It would have been the other way around more likely. 

                  Added:  I do think many of Obama's action are anti-Christian.

Taking scriptural quotes and spinning them into a chicken little fear that the sky falling is about as anti christ as it gets. In my opinion. He's probably face palming the whole bruhaha as we type.

              (Alex Jones, was mentioned.)  The guy lost me when he came across a news feed questioning if Trump was going to hand the election to Hillary (that name is like chalk noise on a blackboard to me).  Ugh!

              Anyway, Alex had been talking to some Generals who speak highly for Trump's insights.  So! Alex, did a talk show w/Trump as his guest and told him what the Generals had to say about him being right-on.  (I had to watch that video)  He asked Trump to promise to not throw the election basically.  Trump (graciously) said that he hadn't heard anything like that, and promised he will do all he can to win.  Alex, seemed humbled and calm...I hope he has peace.  Alex is okey, I've gotten some great info. leads from him..."take what you can use and leave the rest". 

              BTW, he gets right down with an investigative journalist who has lived outside the Vatican for decades.  Whoa!  Some shocking stuff many people don't care about.  It can be entertaining and amusing!  wink

          Cognitive dissonance. Our greatest failures in humanity come when we lose sight of the collective we and settle for us and them. It is the same crap that allows humans to be capable of Holocausts, Genocides, "Crusades", slavery, and etc. We take people and put them into a category which separates them from our self and it enables us to rid ourselves of empathy and reduce people to something less than their actual worth.

Not all muslims are extremist . I would have to look into ones past and his track record. Now let me say I would not vote for a Muslim raised in a traditional Islamic country which supposedly we don't have worry about that. The jury is still out I guess.

        I've know you, Susie (colorfulone), for a few years on first Squidoo and now HubPages and I've come to appreciate much of what you have written in the past. I loved your writings on animals and nature.

        Yes, I know I can unfollow. But I realize that HubPages is an environment that can put me in a position to become acquainted with and support, by commenting and following, people who I would not in any way want to be seen as supporting or in alliance with. And how do I know until something like this discussion comes to light? I don't. So I'm out of here.

          Deb, thank you for saying how you feel. Each person has a free will by design. Peace be with you, and may your faith continue to bless and keep you safe always.  I respect you and your way of enjoying life. 

          The truth is that I do not hate anyone and am not spewing hate. That would be your perception. I DO take a stand against the evil that has permeated this world and our government as I see it.  I DO hate sin (especially the murder of unborn babies and born alive babies and selling of body parts) and the direction we are headed with a One World Order (and all that entails).

          I do not agree with socialism / communism agendas.  The main stream media is liberal, and politically correct is the flavor of the day. I do not need them to tell me what I should think. 

          Information in a HubPages discussion should be respectfully presented and I believe I have done that.  I am not trying to be an offence and I try not to have a spirit of offence toward others.

            Thank you, Susie

            I do see your long list at the beginning of this discussion as spewing hate. But you are right, it is my perception. I found your list hateful. And at the least, it certainly meets the criteria of "large quantities" in the definition of "spewing."

            But perhaps a better word is "spawning." This discussion you started has spawned a lot of hateful comments and I have not seen you try to diminish those in any way but, instead, encourage.

            And I must disagree with your last paragraph about "information" being "respectfully presented." This whole discussion, including your beginning comment, is not information but opinion and most of it has certainly been less than respectfully presented.

          The people here are confirming my dislike of religion and probably scaring away some who were on the fence.  Patriots do not wish for the death of their President.  Good Christians do not hope for their President to be shot.

            Well, Sure Kathryn ~

            With evil OBAMCARE, last count indicates approximately 17 MILLION MORE Americans now have health insurance ~ This means, 17 Million More Americans pay a co-pay for medical services rather than relying on a Low Budget Free Clinic or filing for bankruptcy to pay for what is constitutionally mandated ~

            More Americans can stay healthier, pretty dog-gone destructive I'd say ~

            BTW ~ The Good Dr. Carson would probably try to repeal OBAMACARE  Like ALL other conservatives which would strip 17 Million Americans of their access to adequate Health Insurance ~

                OBAMACARE Insurance is SOLID with ironclad consumer protections ~ The first critical step toward an essential "Single Payer" Universal Health Care delivery system where Health Insurance is issued at birth ~

                What's Dr. Carson's Plan? I'd be surprised if he has even given it any thought yet ~ But one thing is for sure, if he's a genuine conservative like Jeb "Jed" Bush, Carly F et al republicans, they will do everything in their power to place YOUR health=care decisions in the hands of greed driven corporate exec's who are paid to deliver the highest profit humanly possible to shareholders ~ Not so good is it?

          I don't.  I can't really think of anything we've given away, but we have extended the same rights that while males enjoy to females, other races and now gay folks.  If that's "giving away all of our values and our principles", then let it be so.

          It's real easy to say that our values include "Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:31) while out of the other side of our mouth we say "Do as I think my concept of god says or I will hurt you".  Even Islam includes this near universal principle, but few people bother to follow it when someone else does something they don't like.

          “Whoever would love to be delivered from the Hellfire and entered into Paradise, then let him die with faith in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat the people the way he would love to be treated.”[Musnad Ahmad, Number 6768, Sahih]

              When people use the term politically correct, I always think it means they don't understand why their opinions are anti social. I don't mean that as an insult to any of the people complaining about having to be politically correct. It's just that politics shouldn't be the reason we are kind to others, why we allow for their happiness too, or why we show consideration.

          Obama didn't personally do it.  The decision was made by the Periodic Review Board, which consists of representatives from six U.S. national security agencies.  Several prisoners have already been released by this Board.  You can google it to find out the facts.

          The goal is to close Guantanamo Bay.  Some prisoners will be released to countries who agree to rehabilitate and track them.  Others will eventually be transferred to other prisons.

        Beheading in Islamic Law
        "During the development of Islamic Law or Sharia, the majority of scholars supported beheading as a valid form of punishment within Islam. Influential medieval Muslim scholars such as Al-Zamakhshari and Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari considered beheading to be sanctioned by God as the punishment for unbelievers and blasphemous Muslims.

        Currently Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world which uses decapitation within its Islamic legal system, though it also a legal form of punishment in Iran, Qatar and Yemen.

        Numerous non-state actors, including Islamic organisations such as ISIL, Al Qaeda and other Jihadist groups use or have used beheading as a punishment. (for unbelievers and blasphemous Muslims. yikes)

        Beheading is a legal form of execution in Iran, Qatar and Yemen, but the punishment has been suspended in those countries. The majority of executions carried out by the Wahhabi government of Saudi Arabia are public beheadings, which usually cause mass gatherings but are not allowed to be photographed or filmed.

        Since 2002, however, jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have been mass circulating beheading videos as a form of terror and propaganda." (as we have seen yikes)

          LoL. Reminds me of when black people were considered lesser and weren't given the same rights as white people. The out of context use of scripture seemed to "validate" their opinions, too. Glad we moved beyond that kind of ignorance. Sad part is, black people don't see the discrimination here against gay people and many are falling into the same pattern as the ignorant, white "Christians" that believed they could treat their black "property" as they saw fit. Gay people are treated less because of something many of them did not choose. But the group for the ignorant to discriminate against now isn't so much the "coloreds" anymore, but the "gay abominations."

          News flash. Keeping gay people from getting married, or now that it's legal, refusing services to gay people looking to get married doesn't help the Jesus cause. One cannot be a beacon of light when perpetuating hate. A real Christian would sit down with gay people, explain their point of view from a religious stance and share "Christ's love" and what they believe his opinion is of the gay "lifestyle." If the gay person wants to hear, ok. If they don't, ok. Then you "wipe your sandals off" and move on... I don't remember Jesus saying anywhere that denying rights to people was the thing to do. LoL. Though honestly, actually STUDYING the Bible would tell you that the popular homosexuality opinion amongst fundamentalists isn't as rock solid as you'all like to think it is. But... why deny what everybody says (everybody in the fundamentalist community, that is).

Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

                  "… They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

                John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the US spoke out against slavery by Muslims:

                “The natural hatred of the Mussulmen towards the infidels is in accordance with the precepts of thw Koran,” wrote President Adams.

                He saw the difference between Christians and Muslims:

                “The fundamental doctrine of the Christian religion is the extirpation of hatred from the human heart,” continued... “It forbids the exercise of it, even towards enemies.”

                And,

                “In the 7th century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab … spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth,” Adams said. “He declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as part of his religion.” ...  “The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust, to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature.”

                The founding fathers of the United States were wise and protected our civilization. Unlike Obama.

                Obama does not even speak of Islamic terrorism. He focuses on being political correct to keep America safe from Islamic terrorists instead.  WHILE...he supports Islamic terrorists!

          You're right, this thread is not about Kim Davis, and it's certainly not about the mass shooting in Oregon. It's about Ben Carson not wanting a Muslim to be president because he believes Islam is not compatible with the Constitution. My point is that the interpretation of Christianity shared by Davis and many other Christians is not compatible with the constitution also. So Carson is right to question the compatibility of certain religious beliefs with the Constitution, but he is (and you are) wrong to limit that to Islam. The same thinking must apply to Christianity also. In short: some Christian belief is becoming (has become) incompatible with Constitutional law. As far as I know, all the presidential candidates from the main parties are Christians, and none are Muslims. So shouldn't the focus be on how compatible Christianity is with the Constitution, as the next president will very likely be a Christian.

            I can only stand here as an observer.  It is not my place to pronounce a political opinion one way or another about your country's journey.
            But for all the people, on various sides of politics, each claiming to have "God" on-side, you would think it could be a much more harmonious nation.
            Could it possibly be that "God" is designed and molded to the whim of each Party and its follower?
            Could it not be that, if "fundamentalists" on either side stepped down from their pedestal, giving respect to opinions of the other side, and adopting a live-and-let-live philosophy, then neither fundamental position would need to be thrust in the other's face?
            Could it possibly be that both and every fundamentalist position falls inherently short of the mark?
            "Which mark?" you may well ask.  You tell me.
            Surely the main objective would be a more united United, more stately collection of States and an America that is much more respected world-wide?

              The very words "In the Year of Our Lord" are found in the U.S. Constitution as it was ratified in 1787 and no U.S. President born since that date had a foreigner for a parent except one...Obama the Antichrist.

                Interesting the very freedom you exercise in expressing such an ugly,  radical, hateful opinion, is granted to you by the Constitution which you quote.
                Your President, viewed from my position as a foreigner, seems to be working hard to uphold that Constitution.  When he speaks from his gut feelings, when his words seem not to have been rehearsed, then he seems most human and genuine.
                I could be wrong of course - just as you "Sgt" could be totally wrong in your assessment.
                If you think that in the stuff you mouth off, there is even one ounce of that core quality called "Love," then I'll eat my hat.  Because that is supposed to be the focus of all people who claim to be Chistian.

        So, Christians are not suppose to be able to express what is happening or have an opinion to speak freely?  That's silly! 

        Franklin Graham is one of the most well know Christian leaders in the world. He has an opinion and is not afraid to be out spoken.  He is flat out honest, and hated for speaking the truth by many...

        He "called for the banning of all Muslims from entering the United States following the shootings in Chattanooga that left four Marines and a Navy sailor dead." ... "they do their killing to honor their religion and Muhammad."

        (During World War II, the United States would not allow Japanese or German immigration.)

        "Why are we allowing Muslims now?" he asked. "Let your Congressman know that we've got to put a stop to this and close the flood gates. Pray for the men and women who serve this nation in uniform, that God would protect them."   (out of love)

        "Franklin Graham has called Islam a "very wicked and evil religion," which caused the Pentagon to rescind an invitation for him to speak during the National Day of Prayer" 

        Under the Obama Adm. one of the greatest humanitarians of this time was rescinded an invite? 
        How can Obama be a Christian?  No!   

        http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/frankl … id/657877/

        Franklin spoke the truth in love.  Out of great concern for his children, grand children and for every living soul in America.

        I do not hate anyone, ... I love people. 
        I do hate sin, wickedness and pure evil.

            Suzie, you can warn all you like.  Your beliefs are your beliefs.  You may wonder why anyone such as myself might reject all that you are saying.   Let me give you some clues.

            If, (and it's very much an if, because it's not going to happen!) I were to believe in, or accept the existence of a God, and if I wanted to worship any kind of God, there are some attributes I would not want in that God.

            I would not want a God who claimed to make all things yet rejected some of the most worthy, responsible and loving examples of his creation, i.e., individuals who found love and companionship with a member of his/her own gender.  Such a God would be to small, limited and ridiculous for me to ever consider it.

            Next, I would not want that God to have delegated judgment to any one of His/Her manufactured subjects.  There would be a danger of those subjects taking charge on their own volition, without referring to their Chief.  Injustices would abound.  The human creation would likely exterminate itself, ironically in the name of that God the Creator.

            Also, I would want that God to keep up to date in relation to changes that take place in the Creation.  If that God had made some laws/rules appertaining to conditions thousands of years ago, I would not expect Him/Her to impose such antiquated  laws in a modern day society, if the society had evolved way beyond the conditions of yesteryear. 

            So you see, Suzie, your God can never be my God.  Your assessment of morality, especially where it rejects the homosexual orientation which is integral to my character and personality, is rejected outright.  Your superstitions, your snide judgment of me (even though you say you love me, but hate my evil actions, you don't know what my actions are or have been - any judgment on your part is false and irrelevant), your judgment of others whom you don't know, cannot know the details of their lives....everything about your pronouncements here is a rejection of the Christ Principle.  And please note, it's no use you saying, "Ah, but it's not me that judges you, it's God himself."  There ain't no god but the one in your mind.  You are responsible for your mind, not me or anyone else.

            If you want to apply laws as depicted in the Old Testament, have the courage to apply all the laws, without cherry-picking.  Then go to the Middle Eastern countries where many of those old laws  - and the relevant punishments - are applied to this day.   Live there.  Try to survive more than 3 days, whilst observing the laws you want me to abide by.

            If you want to save yourself that trouble, go read a book by Hanavee.  You can read about it in his Hub.  Just search for Hanavee here in HubPages, it's easy.  All the information you need in order to stop being a hate-filled Christian is in that book.

            Hopefully you will have the intelligence to see where I am coming from.

              Dear Jonny, 

              For it is time for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?  - 1 Peter 4:17

              I can handle your judgments but they are wasted on me.

            Insulting. Possibly if not probably untrue. Bigoted. Inappropriate and unfair.   The affair bit, because the President is not in a position to come on here, to HubPages, and openly confront you. 

            If he was standing in front of you, in person, would you have the courage to say those words to him?

            You have a nation that supports and protects Free Speech.  With that Right comes also Responsibility.  Do you uphold that principle? 

            Try living in a country where you do not have such a Freedom....where you would be thrown into jail or hung by the neck in public for saying such a thing about the Head of Government.  For this reason, everyone needs to exercise personal responsibility when making accusations.

                  Hey bud, I noticed a couple of your mentions, (in other comments of course) that the "Righties" were not getting any more slack from you.

                  I guess the proof is in the pudding. To see you take a direction that includes such statements as this; "...We got no problem with a surplus of UncleToms...," was more than a bit of a surprise to me.

                  I am still pondering why that brought to mind a recollection that somewhere in the past, Hillary was openly criticized, (by the Right of course), for addressing crowds and events as one of them.  Maybe something about adopting a Southern draw when speaking to Southern state groups, or maybe a bit of grammatical rearrangement when addressing certain other groups. Perhaps it is even just my imagination that your use of "We got no..." seemed different from my recollections of past conversations where "We don't have any...", or "We have no..." would have been more likely than "We got no..."

                  Such a blanket condemnation of of a "type" person, (in this case ones with your skin color), sounds like it comes from the frustration that they refuse to agree with you. Just what determines someone is an "Uncle Tom" to you? Hmm...

                  I will check out Sheriff David Clarke and jump right in and agree with you, if your opinion of him is as grounded as I have found some of your opinions in the past. On the other hand...

                  *Good to see you have a little more forum time recently. My schedule has also adjusted, allowing me to 'justify' (LOL), more time to jump in.

                    So, nice to see you have returned

                    Not that righties have ever got any slack from me....

                    The term "We got" is an unfortunately grammatical error on my part. There is no reflection of a "southern dialect or patois", I am Western. Don't all politicians try to be relevant to the crowds to whom they speak directly? Hillary panders a bit more than I would like, but it could be worse and I have seen worse.

                    Any black man that allies himself with the reactionary radical right is an Uncle Tom, by pure definition. Such a man with a reasonable understanding of the Black experience in America would or should know this. He just as well align himself with Donald Trump, Bull Conner, George Wallace or even the Grand Wizard.

                    Note, that I distinguish this designation from what would be Black conservatives such as the late Edward Brooke, Colin Powell or even Condolezza Rice. Be clear, you can be conservative and not receive my blanket condemnation, but you can't be reactionary. But yet, that is what today's GOP is becoming, is it not?

                    There is a reason that the Alan Keyes and Ben Carsons do relatively poorly politically in the AA community.

                    Leave it to the rightwinger to trot out 1 example to extoll that takes their position but ignore the other 99 equally qualified voices who do not...

                      Hey bud, forget about the "We got...," I wasn't criticizing your grammar, just reflecting on a recollection.

                      Now here is where it gets really interesting...

                      A white man arguing with a black man about what an Uncle Tom is...

                      But wait, I have an explanation.

                      My first thoughts when I hear Uncle Tom, are ones related to a black man, (I wonder why it comes as specifically black man, instead of black person?), who can't be trusted, who would do anything to get in good with white folks, (typically white bosses). In other words, someone who betrays his brothers. That is the image I have.

                      So your use of it in your comment caught my interest.

                      Now you are telling me that Uncle Tom means something different to you. As a foolish white guy, I had to go look it up. Multiple definitions ranged from; to be too subservient or servile, to the Urban dictionary's "...will do anything too ingratiate himself to the white man"

                      So, my thoughts seemed to be inline with the latter definition, too obedient or servile weren't in my first thoughts.

                      And one more "So." So that's why it seems to me your declaration that the "Surplus of Uncle Toms" you have includes Clarke and Carson, just doesn't seem right to me.

                      I certainly don't see Carson as a reactionary radical, and my first looks at Sheriff Clarke did not leave that impression either, (but it was a quick look).

                      So nope, I think you labeled them because they disagree with what you agree with.  I think you intended the rhetoric to amp up your point. Which appears to sorely need.

                      ps. I don't know what your last paragraph about 1 example and extoll 99 etc. refers to.

                        The character as portrayed in the Stowe novel of over century and a half ago, shows a subservient man slavishly devoted to his master even up to death. Forsaking the best interests of himself and his own to toward this end. Your question is a good one. We see the reactionary rightwing as the “white man’s” system, the new ‘massa’. This is, of course, all dressed up to swing with 21st century expectations and sensibilities.

                        It is known that flies are never that far from excrement, speaking of which, Donald Trump with his bombastic attacks on ethnic groups and his endorsement from some of most loathsome white supremacist organizations certainly show that the “massa” concept has merely received a fresh coat of paint, not eliminated. While Trump is bombastic and coarse, Dr. Carson is mild-mannered. But in regards to xenophobia and such they both say the same thing. The same radio station just at a different volumes. Carson should know that Trump’s arguments about race and immigration along with that of the radical right would just as easily been applied to him and his family over a half century ago. Dr. Carson does an high-five with a man that had been guilty of housing discrimination in New York City for years. This Trump now is more than willing to stick a shiv in the ribs of Dr. Carson now that he losing in the polls. Sounds like that ole’ milquetoast of the Stowe novel.  I confess that I do not know a great deal about Clarke, but of course anyone who takes issue with the predominant attitude of AA community is going to be a staple on Fox. Just like Hermain Cain, Alan Keyes and any number of contrarians, Fox has to be paying them a bundle….

                        So, if their political approach aligns itself with the Reactionary Right, then they can be nothing less than my enemy with no room for negotiation. If their opinion amounts to another voice for the radical right, then I am attacking them for that opinion and stance. There is room for blue with the spectrum moving out toward purple, but RED is out!

                        Such is the basis of the "Credence Corollary". There is no room for radical rightwingers, Black or White, period.

                        As for the last ps, I was saying that the Right will focus on the word of some Sheriff Clarke and ignore the opinions and views of the preponderence of AA law enforcement professionals. That is neither a scientific nor ethical approach

                          I haven't read the book, so accepting your description, I wonder why he behaved that way. Was it purely in selfish self-interest, or could his motivation have been authentic beliefs that are contrary to the perceived norm? Or was it related to a weak character not strong enough to accept new life changes?

                          For me that would matter. I only hold one image of "Uncle Tom," and that is one that always makes me think of purposely negative and selfish actions. I don't think I am being stubborn, but so far most of your explanations boil down to ideological bottom lines that disagree. Your "Uncle Tom" feels like rhetoric. If your point is valid, why do you need to use it?

                          And then along comes "The Donald."  Your effort to include Donald Trump with Dr. Carson can only seem like a guilt-by-association smear. Because he agrees with many, (hopefully you will agree with not all), of his ideas or policy directions? How did you feel about Pres. Obama when he suffered similar labeling over his association with Bill Ayers?

                          If Ben Carson's personality, demeanor, and character remained exactly the same, but... he was talking your talk... would you still think of him as an "Uncle Tom?"

                          ps. Maybe you better poll that "Credence Corollary" name idea. Isn't corollary also some type of heart attack, or blood vessel, or something to do with blood? That's what I thought anyway. Gotta watch my health, so I'll be keeping an eye out.

                    Sheriff David Clarke does seem like an interesting fellow. If his Wikipage has any validity, it appears he is a well educated fellow with an honest background. Financial and operational statistics, (plus three 4-year elections as a Democrat), that indicate he was good at his job. So with respect to his character history - he doesn't seem like a nut-case yahoo to me.

                    Beyond his Wikipage I see that he is very outspoken in a very un-PC way, (penis envy?), and a favorite of Fox. The obvious perception to me is that he is a true "Rightie." So he definitely sees issues differently from you. Is that what makes him an Uncle Tom? Or has he betrayed his like-skinned brethren by some sort of connivery or hypercritical actions, or verifiable scandalous collusion? Can a black person only be conservative if he isn't outspoken about it?

                    Com'on Cred, just looking for some forum action aren't you? You aren't part of a sting operation are you? Looking ahead to a radio personality or political gig? You haven't bought any new flashy suits lately have you?

                    I will have some cheese and crackers, (and a couple Martinis), ready for our continuance of this new Credence2 philosophy. smile

                      Radio personality, I wish. I call it the Credence Corollary,  Black right wing reactionary affiliation = Uncle Tom. Being paraded around on Fox News does not give him credibility, in fact it reduces it.

                      We discussed that conservatism is acceptable but the reactionary is not. What would I say if I took a white bedsheet from someone's  head and shoulders and found a black man beneath it, same difference. So, there is more involved than just seeing things differently.

                      Also, Fox is using this one firebrand to dislodge the general opinion of the AA community as we have heard these kinds before.

                        I certainly don't want to stumble into defending Fox, but could the credibility loss you see be less acute than others see it, or could that loss be offset by a gain from others? Just sayin'

                        It would be tough for me to argue with your definition as previously stated;"...reactionary radical right..." (what happened to "radical" in this current definition?), if I imagined "...reactionary radical right..." to be as bad as it sounds. But I bet "reactionary" and "Radical" would get varied responses from any group of like-minded folks, (Ha, just realized this was an opportunity to slip in a Clinton reference), and trying to reach an understanding would be like Clinton's "Is."

                        Even stretching, I can't see anything reactionary or radical about Mr. Carson. Which your inclusion of means Reactionary Radical has a much lower threshold than I would place. Still following the crumbs, your apparently much lowered threshold could point to something as simple as disagreeing with what you think they should be.

                        I am only using Mr. Carson as a gauge because I don't know Mr. Clarke, and though I still would not call him "...reactionary radical right..." either,  I am not impressed by most of what I did see of him.

                        To your bed sheet example; beyond the more primary evil and illegal considerations, Yes, that black head under the sheet, would call the Uncle Tom image to mind. Unless it, (the head), was involved in violence and mayhem, then my first thoughts would be of a lot of more serious and nasty names, but not Uncle Tom.

                        Could it be possible that the "general opinion of the AA community" might just need some prodding? In no way do I mean Fox or its efforts, but some of the messages and efforts of some of these folks you have labeled Uncle Toms seem pretty credible? I am almost certain I recollect even you agreeing with some of them. The ones about personal responsibility, (Bill Cosby, Ben Carson, and others), and the importance of fatherhood and personal integrity.

                        These are some of the messages and advocated positions that these "...reactionary radical right..." (oops, forgot to strike the "Radical"), "...reactionary right..."Uncle Toms, by your definition, earned their label with?

                        Yes Cred, if I envisioned the actions of a black man as being the worst that reactionary radical could imply, (to me), then I would also agree with your definition, but I don't think we are seeing the same picture.

                        I can't see, using your definition, anything that makes Ben Carson an Uncle Tom. Many of his antagonists have promoted the image that he is a weak, timid, and easily forced man. Yet you see him as a forceful reactionary radical?

                          The man in the sheet analogy would still be an uncle tom, and if he were violent I could think of other names for him.

                          Dr. Carson associates with the reactionary and supports their policies and positions, allowing them to infiltrate a reactionary white in black face. No one says that he has to be a bomb thrower, but his quiet mild mannered demeanor should not be mistaken for moderation. He is anything but, based on xenophobic statements made by him as of late.

                          Bill Cosby makes some good points, but even he calls Trump a fool for racist statements or such he has made in the past. And you can bet Cosby wouldn't be caught dead running for any political office as a Republican.  There are many points you have to touch to become 'reactionary', but as beyond belief as it would seem there are few black folks that manage to touch all of the buttons. Carson is one of them

                          You and I did speak of the difference between being conservative vs reactionary.

            As an outsider, I cannot know the facts about this matter.  I cannot know whether what you are saying is true or false.   That is for you and your compatriots to decide.

            From a distance, and the impression I get from your posts, it looks like you are on a party-political agenda.  In other words, to unseat the President, whatever it takes.  We get similar party-politics here in Australia.

            The result tends to be the same.  Everyone loses trust in the politics, the process, the individuals concerned and - ourselves, each one doubting the efficacy of the other.

            Even when the top players get impeached, put up before the people of the country in court, to answer questions about their activity and their intentions, the end result is more doubt, more distrust, more dislocation.  The accusations will be dropped or watered down to the point no clear resolution is reached.

            The antidote to this malady might be to drop the incessant adversarial confrontation and work towards dialogue, honestly wanting truth and best outcome for everyone concerned.

              My agenda is to post the truth in hopes that people will wake up.
              Obama needs to be removed from office and the sooner the better.
              All of the corrupt career politicians need to be removed.
              The US government is corrupt on both sides.

              What "incessant adversarial confrontation"? 
              I see adversarial confrontations on this thread but not by me. 
              That would be your perception.  ( malady? )

              I'm not hateful, angry, or anything else people have been saying in their posts on this thread.  No. I would say I have stepped on some sensitive toes because of the knee jerk reactions. If people do not want to follow the thread or the links I post and find out for themselves they don't have to.

              I'm just reporting some truths. Just a messenger.  I wasn't going to post on here anymore but after I read the recent posts I changed my mind.  More truth.
