I'm not a Democrat, but ...

... this is why it's so hard for me to vote Republican.There is supposed to be a separation of Church and State in this country, and the people who control the Republican Party would rather have it otherwise. They have no respect for the values on which this country was founded; they have no respect for anyone who isn't one of them

That article is a bunch of crap, IMO. I automatically take any article with a grain of salt when they spell out Obama's full name.

[lemon_says]

Like he named himself, you know. *eyeroll*

[martina_d]

EXACTLY.

Thank God most people aren't accountable for their own names. A poor kid in one of the mother comms is named "Arien." Apparently his mother never pronounced that OUT LOUD before signing the birth certificate. Poor kid has a bright future in the White Power movement.

This kind of thing drives me batshit crazy. As a Christian you are supposed to live Christian values, but as an American you are supposed to respect the separation of Church and State. Figure out a way to reconcile that, dammit! Yes, the Founding Fathers were Christian, but they included that religion part FOR A REASON. Now, back the fuck off and go do some good works.

It's amazing to me how these people who call themselves "Christian" have no interest in helping the less fortunate. They're more than willing to send missionaries overseas but not financial or food aid.

If these folks want to live in a theocracy, they can move to Saudi Arabia. Or Iran. Or go help restore the Taliban to power. 'Cause those countries are lights in the darkness of secularism. Assholes.

There is a candidate who was raised Muslim? Who was that?

Let's see, we know that Obama was raised Christian, that has certainly been beaten to death. Sarah Palin's religious life is practically all on video tape, that witchdoctor doesn't really sound Muslim. Biden was raised in Scranton, not too many Muslims there. And he has sure talked about his religious upbringing. Must be McCain! I haven't really heard anything about how he was brought up. And he was born outside the United States! McCain is the secret Muslim!

Everybody knows Panama is overrun with Muslims. That's why Reagan had to oust Noriega. Or maybe "Muslim" was a typo for "Mormon" and he was talking about Guy Smiley Mitt Romney.

McCain was born outside the US?

[galbinus_caeli]

Yeah, McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone on a US Navy base. (Yes, he is a "natural born citizen" both father and mother were citizens.)
