One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life’s highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth.
From a Republican, no less!

He spent 20 years in a church, but he's a Muslim...and also somehow a Marxist...or whatever dumbass label the right want's to slap on him. Talk about derangement syndrome. Everything that they consider bad, he suddenly is. Even when those things heavily contradict the other nonsense they say about him...

Obama a Muslim?

Barack Hussein Obama is a good old Christian name, no muslim origin I'm sure.
Besides, calling him a muslim is a step up from what I call him.

There is no such thing as a "good old Christian name." It is probably your Euro-Centric vision of the world that is blinding you.

I actually agree, I sincerely doubt Obama is a committed Christian, but you need to be one in American politics, sadly.

It is obvious to me that Obama is probably an Atheist, but if he were outright about that, he wouldn't be president.

They ALL bring up their faith only when convenient, but the electorate forces it on them so we can't really blame them.

All we can do is take them at face value I guess.

So much for "we only hate ILLEGAL immigrants." My name is Italian, not WASPy, guess I can never be a true American either

What exactly is Obama doing that violates the US Constitution besides not agreeing with you politically?

I believe he's an atheist, like any good Marxist.
If my Dad was a Satanist, does that mean I was born into Serving Satan?

Nobody is "born into" any religion.

Religion is taught to helpless kids by stupid people who, as helpless kids were taught by even stupider people.
