Barack's Beliefs

Barack's beliefs depend on the day of the week and which audience he is talking to. He is just another old traveling huckster with a brand of snake oil to sell that he calls "change." Whether his blood is white, black or blue - he is just another same-old politician full of flip flops. Trying to pin solid beliefs on him is like trying to herd earthworms with a pitchfork.

On the day of the announcement of his selection to be the Democratic nominee for vice-President, Joe Biden was quick to go on attack and use the Bush clone metaphor in describing John McCain. Cloning of course involves copying genes. Issues involving clones, copying and plagiarism seem to be recurrent themes in the life of Joe Biden. It has been reported that Joe Biden withdrew from his 1987 Presidential primary race against George Dukakis and Dick Gephardt due to reports of plagiarism of a speech by Neil Kinnock a former British Labor Party leader. More damaging are reports that during his first year at Syracuse University Law School, Joe Biden lifted five pages of material out of a total fifteen page legal research and writing class memo from a Fordham Law Review article. Joe Biden received a grade of F in the legal research and writing course and had to repeat it the following semester. Copying and mimicking behavior is sometimes said to be the sincerest form of flattery but plagiarism falls into a special category of a backhanded compliment because it implies a disdain for the original author and your audience. Did Joe Biden believe that none of his professors would take the time to look up his citations or have read or be familiar with the Fordham law review article on his topic product liability. Many Catholics would be offended that a fellow Irish Catholic like Joe Biden would use Fordham Law Review an academic product of his own faith to commit plagiarism.

Let's just cut through the fluff and summarize: Barack Obama is the type of "Christian" who accepts the parts of the Bible he likes and ignores the parts he doesn't, which apparently includes at least some of the Ten Commandments ("Thou shalt not kill," for example, as applied to newborn babies). Now THAT is one convenient religion!

Just what in the heck did happen to the separation of church and state? First the churches in my community get together and decide to stop a law that would allow restaurants to serve alcohol by pressuring their congregations to vote against it, and then they bused them to the polls to be sure they voted how they wanted them to. It is sad when laws can be determined by a little religious pressure and a lot of buses. I say this because many of those who went along with their churches, told me later that they really did not want to vote against it, but they were afraid not to.
Now one of the biggest issues in this election seems to be what religion the candidates follow. We have become a country of zombies, brainless followers, or something like it.
Yes Obama may not have the same religious belief as you, but then does Palin, and who cares unless it will be used against you?
So go ahead and vote for McCain and Palin, a senile old man and his beauty queen play thing. Because the truth is there is still a racist mentality in this country, and there are still a lot of women who are going to vote Republican just because there is a woman on the ticket. But get real, this woman is not a soccer mom. She has no compassion for you. She hunts and kills for the fun of it, and she would easily abandon an infant for a career when she does not have to. Most women I know would not want to leave their tiny infant if they could afford to stay home until the baby was older. This woman wants to destroy women's rights not further them. She has abused her powers in her career, and will continue to force her ideas on others. She is a self-righteous religious fanatic who believes that only her way can be right, and at least Obama isn't pushing his religious beliefs on us. This country was formed on the idea that people should be allowed to think for themselves and believe as they wish. I do not see Palin supporting that belief. As for McCain, well he is a rich man who thinks it is fine to own so many houses he can???t remember the number. He will not stop helping the rich get richer, while the rest of us struggle to survive. The old Republican idea of, by helping Corporate America you help the little guy, does not work any more. It only worked when those at the top cared about those at the bottom. I have news for you, those guys don't care anymore. They want their many houses and their mega-retirement packages, and they will have them at our expense. But you go ahead and vote Republican, because it would be better than taking a chance on Obama and Biden. But don't complain about it when the next 4 years are more of the same. Oh and if you happen to be one of the few non-racist "thinking people" who actually might be voting for McCain/Palin because you honestly support their views, then this is not directed at you. However, I would ask you to think about what I said about the Republican ideas no longer working; because they really aren't you know.

This phony piece of chit muzzie "converted" as a matter of political expediency.....he's not Christian....he's a mulatto muzzie piece of slime......

He can't be elected president of the U.S.A......no, not a muzzie president.

I can't believe McCain has sold out to the right wing conservative platform. You want to talk about beliefs, what about the belief in democracy. McCain and the typical right wing conservative Bush clan want to defy the democratic will of the people of Iraq for a American troop withdrawl. Talk about fascism at it's worst(which is the conservative ideal) . And the McBush clan has the balls to Scold Russia for invading Georgia after what they did and are currently doing in Iraq and about to do in Iran if were not careful, just shows how out of touch they are in the global politics game and why Americans are hated so abroad.
Save America kill a conservative

Obama is getting scrutinized because he attended a church with the likes of Jeremiah Wright as Pastor. I had enormous concerns about that....However, if we're going to scrutinized Obama, let's find out about McCain's religious beliefs and how much of a church goer, believer, he is. I haven't decided who to vote for yet but it would be nice to get a balanced view of both candidates on every subject.

Obama's faith is based on hatred. It's superficial, stereotypical, and class and race-based and, as such, it's an abomination to Christ, an insult to Christians, and a bastardization of Christianity.

Personally, I think it is strange, that the same party that denounced Christians as being stupid morons for electing Bush twice, now attempts to lure the same Christian voters that it has shown nothing but distain for in the past, by attempting to pass their canidate off as a person of faith.

Now I can not attest if Obama is truly a Christian or not, that is something that is between himself and God.....................I just find it amusing that the same Democrats that express hatred for Bush because of his faith, now find Obama acceptable because he claims to share the same faith.

At Saddleback, the central problem with Obama crystallized. The problem is not the result of extraneous causes. Over many months, legions of Democratic campaign advisers and staff have labored to present to the public a living invention of change and hope that will transcend the barriers of bureaucracy and Gordian knots of governance.

Without the hindrance of any diplomatic purpose, the Obama European-Mid-Eastern tour elevated this invention to a global transcendence, replete with superficial majesty, and against stately backdrops of the selected hosts.

But his problem is now exacerbated to the point of being inseparable: the absence of identity as a person and as a potential President. The office of President demands political clarity and practicable knowledge, not obscurity and transcendence.

Admonishing others to avoid being influenced by his lack of resemblance to other Presidents on our currency was a memorable backdoor attempt at identity. Two out of the seven currency portraits we most often see are those of men who were never President. But they appear, nonetheless, because the greatness of their genius, contributions and statesmanship are the qualities that transcended the personal identity they may have had when they lived. Actions transcend, not campaign inventiveness.

The Democratic Party strategy has placed the cart before the horse; and, because he lacks both personal and political identity, Barak Obama has not found his place in the arrangement.

I don't think baptism has any thing to do with it. Being born of the water is physical birth. If baptism is a requirement, what about the thief on the cross next to Jesus? He told him "today thou shalt be with me in paradise.

Why does Newsweak keep trying to convince people that Obama is Christian? He does not adhere to the basic tenets of the Christian faith no matter how often he calls himself a Christian and says he prays to Jesus.

Obama does not believe there is a hell, so how could Christ have died and gone to hell for our sins?

Obama does not believe that God would condemn people who deny Christ to hell

Obama believes that people can earn their way into heaven by doing good works even if they don't believe in Christ.
