That sounds <a href="http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201008200030?lid=1136387&rid=52548389" rel="nofollow">remarkably like Rush</a>.<br /><br />I've never been in doubt about what Obama professes. What's remarkable is that after all the nonsense following the carefully edited Jeremiah Wright footage before the election *anybody* in America still thought he was a Muslim. But your observation, that he doesn't display it enough, sounds just like the kind of intentional viral marketing going on to associate the Prez with boogeyman terrorists.<br /><br />How is it that your comments so closely coincide with Limbaugh's?Mpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399880071535547324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-84641924373026046172010-08-27T13:21:55.439-05:002010-08-27T13:21:55.439-05:00Or maybe Xtians are like Bloods and Crips; you hal...Or maybe Xtians are like Bloods and Crips; you half to throw up a sign (like, say, bizarre <a href="http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/003613.html" rel="nofollow">esoteric Bible references</a>) to demonstrate fidelity.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17160568834659305520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-59314280170656534232010-08-27T12:17:08.432-05:002010-08-27T12:17:08.432-05:00Grant, the new-Christianity seems to require hatre...Grant, the new-Christianity seems to require hatred of the poor and the oppressed, so obviously, Obama isn't Christian.Mpetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399880071535547324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-46380024721318235042010-08-27T09:54:25.102-05:002010-08-27T09:54:25.102-05:00e doesn't display any signs of his christian f...<i>e doesn't display any signs of his christian faith, at least outwardly</i><br /><br />Really?

He has a Muslim name, he has a Muslim father. He went to a Muslim school, he was raised in a Muslim country. He supports Muslim causes. In many more ways than the average American, yes, he is a Muslim. There is nothing wrong with being Muslim. That's not why people dislike him. He's a president who's "Hope and Change" turned into the same ol' GWB crap. That's why. Being Muslim has nothing to do with it other than the left wanting to excuse his poor polling ratings to racism. Most Americans don't care. BTW I'm a member of the Catholic Church, only because of my wife and kids. If it were up to me I'd be a Pastafarian.
