Nothing he or anyone else can do can change that.

The real question is this — is ANY Muslim suitable to be president of the United States.

Well, how would you feel if the president-elect were greeted at his victory party with chants of Allahu Akbar (as was the case with Congressman-elect Ellison)?

How would you feel if the president-elect takes the oath of office with his hand on the Koran (like Congressman-elect Ellison has promised to do)?

How would feel about a Muslim president with CAIR at his left hand and the nuclear football at his right?

Islamic authorities have made it clear that every Muslim’s first loyalty is to dar al Islam.

Unlike false concerns about John Kennedy’s loyalty to the U.S. vis a vis the Vatican — the loyalty of ANY Muslim to the U.S., in any governmental capacity, is a genuine and realistic concern.

The stakes are much too high — especially in this time of war with Islam

But to just dump on Obama because of the accident of his parent’s unfortunate choice of names, that’s silly. There are plenty of reasons to be against Obama that have nothing to do with his name, mainly his politics and views and character, let’s stick to what’s important here and not get sidetracked.

Yep, the same America in which disapproval of behavior is equated with outright hatred of a person/group.

I attacked Dennis Prager some weeks back over his Keith Ellison piece, which I found troubling in its implications. How much more must I reject Debbie Schlussel and this hate-mongering effort that exceeds even her usual quotient of venom? So,…

While I’d certainly like every vote to be a well-thought-out decision, I know that not every vote will be cast on such a basis, not every vote will have thought and logic behind it (as is evidenced by the fact that Democrats do win elections), and I…

Yep, I know — but it poured forth from the left long before Pelosi.

I have experienced it for over 40 years.. just in slightly different forms. But I do admit it has become more virulent in recent years.

I don’t care if Barak has Hussien as a middle name.
I don’t care that, being a Freshman senator, he’s an ‘empty suit’.
I don’t care that I disagree with some of his idealogy.

I do care that he voted for Governmental Transperancy [S.2590]. A bill that both parties attempted to hold (Ted Stevens, R-Alaska and Robert Byrd, D-WV). If you look at his voting record he toes the party line so this is a pretty gutsy move on the part of a Freshmen Senator. I don’t think this means he’s a good presidential candidate – he is way too inexperienced. I’ll see in 2012 whether or not he meets what I want in a president.

An excellent point Dana! Identity politics and an appeal to victimhood are all that the Empty Suit Known As Barak Hussein Obama has to offer the nation.

Provocative and interesting.

For Christians in America, Obama’s “faith” may be of more interest than his name.

I wrote an extensive post on his church, religious affiliation and leftist connections.. for which I was called racist.

Please note that black voters are supposed to flock to him, because he is black, and that’s perfectly acceptable, but if white voters vote against him because he is black, why that’s just bigoted.

Our Democratic friends have absolutely no problem with identity politics that work in their favor; they have huge problems with identity politics which work against them.
