I am sick and tired of the Obama is a Muslim bigotry. Yes I said bigotry. Let's stop pussy footing around and call it what it IS. 1 in 5 Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim. Frankly, I am surprised by the number of bigots in America in 2010. I thought America had moved past religious, racial, and gender intolerance with the election of America's first African American President. Big RedEYE roll.
America was founded on the principle of religous freedom and Christianity. The same Christianity that landed on the necks of Native Americans and enslaved Africans. The same Christianity that prosecuted women for "withcraft". The same Christianity of night riders and cross burners. But I digress.
Barack Obama very well may be a Muslim, but you know what....if he is a Muslim I DON'T Care. Muslims have done a lot of good/bad things just like Christians have done a lot of good/bad things. One of the good things Muslims have done is clean up the black community. Personally i would feel safer in a Muslim community than a right wing Christian community. I would advise those who have bought into the fear factor that all Muslims are terrorist do a little research on the religion. And for the record, Rep. Keith Ellison (D MN) is a Muslim and is currently serving in the United States Congress. Muslims are not prohibited from holding elected office in America.
Question: If President Obama is a Muslim WHY would he try and hide it? He took the oath of office on the Lincoln Bible, not the Koran. He attended Trinity United Methodist Church for over 20 years. He was married in Trinity and his daughters were baptized at Trinity. Think about it.
I want to get past this issue and focus on the real issues facing real Americans. The gop, enabled by the media, want President Obama and the principles of America to fail. The principles of tolerance, honesty, integrity, freedom, liberty and justice. Why do they want President Obama and the principles of America to fail? Because President Obama is an African American man.
Muslim is the new black.
YouTube video portrays the views of 61% of the American population that are still living in the 19th century, are bigoted, racist and completely not a true representation of a democracy. This is the worst explaination to be given to those nations that were force converted into democracies. This is a shame for New York City. I would never have thought NYC would fall this low. Now the terrorists have truly won.
Amen and Amen.

Great post, Redeye! You don't have to scrutinize Obama's worst critics for long to see the racism. It's sad the GOP has let itself become what it has become. I had hoped they would turn out to be a robust loyal opposition, but there is no room for rational voices in the Republican party.
