Seriously - your bigotry is getting out of control.

So, by your logic, since there are terrorists with a radical interpretation of Islam attacking us, every Muslim is suspect?!?!?

What about the killers who gunned down the doctor in his church? Should we be suspect of anyone with a Christian father now?

Seriously - answer these questions and in the previous post. There is no room for your hate on this forum. It must be stopped in the name of Christ.

Hopefully someday you will see the beauty in a man born of the world - not fitting into any singular box.

“During the five years that we would live with my stepfather in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school and then to a predominately Muslim school,” Obama wrote in “Audacity.” “In our household, the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf.”




Obama’s stepfather was a practicing Muslim.


“Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths,” Obama recalled. “He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”


“It was to Lolo that I turned to for guidance and instruction,” Obama recalled. “He introduced me as his son.”


Although Obama wrote of “puzzling out the meaning of the muezzin’s call to evening prayer,” he was not raised as a Muslim, according to the senator’s office.


Nor was he raised as a Christian by his mother, a white American named Ann Dunham who was deeply skeptical of religion.


“Her memories of the Christians who populated her youth were not fond ones,” Obama wrote. “For my mother, organized religion too often dressed up closed-mindedness in the garb of piety, cruelty and oppression in the cloak of righteousness.”

The poster was quoting a democrat, Juan Williams. Maybe you should take up your outrage with Juan.

18 "People" voted yes, and not one credible reason why. Imagine that.

Although we did see some more predictions of the future under Obama; you know, the same crap they were saying before the election.

Think how nuts it is...I ask WHY and for WHAT Obama should be impeached for, and my answer is for something he is bound to do later down the road.

That's effin crazy.
Much like "Socialism", they've heard the word "impeach" thrown around and absolutely abused it under Clinton.

Unfortunately for them, the founders of this country knew the power of the mob mentality and ensured one could not be impeached simply because you disagree with policy.

These people are acting like children. It's like they've never seen a Democrat before and can't handle having any ideas but their own in power. It sickens me.


Still not one justification for the 18 votes for impeachment. What's the just cause? Saving our capitalist economy?

“Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different,” Obama wrote.


“His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will.”


He added: “Malcolm’s discovery toward the end of his life, that some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam, seemed to offer some hope of eventual reconciliation.”

Exactly what I was thinking. That seems to be the biggest reason they want to impeach him. They just don't like him. That's the only explanation since no one has come up with an actual crime that he has committed.

What's the point then? It's stupid no matter who said it. And what does it have to do with this thread anyway?

Are all of these ramblings supposed to mean something?

Well about 8 of those are shell voters (ie, the same person.)

But yes, how 'bout the ten remaining real people?
