Does anyone think this is taking America in the right direction?

Does anyone think he may have mislead us when he said he was a Christian?

Darned funny reading but it scares me since he is probably going to get Congress to do something about the 25th Amendment and then have them declare him President for Life.

I love one of his quotes that very few will get, and certainly not the Hindu fundamentalists (they never did, and were responsible for his assassination)

"I am a Muslim, I am a Hindu, I am a Christian, I am a Jew - and so are all of you" - M K Gandhi

Now, you provide your take on Gandhi's stand. What was he? Do you get the point he was trying to make? I would love to see that. Now let us contrast that with Hitler, at about the same time period...

"As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people" - Adolf Hitler
Interesting, off topic but, interesting. Gandhi was saying he was all people and all people are him, no matter their religion.

I am a Christian and I do not try to force my religion on anyone, if they ask, I talk, and yet I gat lambasted daily because I am a religious person. I am now being compared to Hitler.

Your reference to Hitler and Christianity is a parallel to how I see Obama, a wolf in sheep's clothing as Hitler was.

I dont get these conservatives. First they attack him for being Muslim, than at virtually the same time they attack him because his reverend said some things that hurt their feelings. UM HELLO?!
Read the OP and get back to me.

With any luck, he will not be able to do that after Nov.

Attack on Pearl Harbor was an act of war.
Attack on USS Liberty was an act of war.
And since bin Laden had declared war on the US during the Carter administration it is hard for me to understand how an act of war by his people is not war. Have you applied to the DOJ for a job? Maybe you could convince somebody outside Holder's group that war is just criminality.

If you think my parallel was off topic, you, clearly, didn't get the message. A proper context would require Hindu fundamentalists' take on the Gandhi approach. When Hindu-Muslim riots broke out, he opted to fast and stayed in a Muslim home. Hindu fundamentalists hated that. Do you see why? Putting yourself in their shoes, would you see Gandhi as only being claiming as a Hindu while siding with the Muslims? They did.

This case is no different. Obama is a Christian at heart, where it matters. He doesn't wear it on his sleeve like most "real Christians" do. As the OP clearly suggests, you see him as a Muslim sympathizer, if not a Muslim. Now, would you show me one thing you see in him that is anti-Christian, as a person?

No need to be overly defensive. You weren't being compared to Hitler. The point was that Hitler made the claims of being a Christian and practiced his beliefs. He even implemented laws that were based on it. "Lord" was about as common in his speeches as "volk" was. He even had a slogan on the belt buckle of the military: "Gott Mit Uns"... as in God With Us.

That would be your fault, and ability to see through things. Analyze it yourself and you will find Hitler and Obama are completely out of phase from each other. One would shout his lungs out for God and Christianity, and hated secularism. The other gets bashed for secularism. One hated gays and subjected them to concentration camps, the other is seen as a gay friendly. What exactly is that you think about Obama as being a wolf in sheep's clothing? Not sure if it is your eyes, or ability to comprehend, but you're about as far from reality as one can possibly be.

How about doing more than just making statements? Anybody can do that. Anybody can call anybody that, if it weren't a requirement to back things up. Oh, and here's a classic I saw on a conservative website a while ago, bashing Obama on a $100 sandwich.

Think about it, and in your response, let me know what you make of it.

Do you really think you can change the topic easily with two of us fighting with you? I think you can try about one more time and even the worst of the lefties will understand what you are trying to do. Hell, I got kicked off the forum one time for less attempt to change the topic of the thread than you pulled off here.

I think I got all your responses in this thread so far. The closest you ever got to the topic was making a claim you read the OP.

Don't worry, you won't have to deal with me, until you contribute something sensible, even remotely close to the topic that can be debated and isn't just another... make statement and run.

I read the site. I'm a Jew and agree with many of Obama's scurry, scurry Muslim actions. Oh noes, I'm a secret Muslim.
