In Reply to: You obviously have no clue as to the Muslim...sm - racism abounds
I do have Muslim friends. My neighbor is Muslim as well. My grown children have Muslims friends they have known a long time. Now, that being said, in talking with my neighbor, they are appalled that others call themselves Muslims and do what they do against this country and others. They are even embarrssed at times for anyone to know they are Muslim and I can understand that. They also have told me that they moved here because Muslims in general in the middle east DO NOT believe we are good people. They have Christians and are not tolerant of them. Though some do not believe in the extremism of bin Laden, there are MANY more that do but they will never admit it out loud because of retaliation by their own.
Now, this proud Americans you mention. Well, my neighbors, even thoug they have been here for three decades, do not call themselves true Americans. And the Muslims they know do not as well. They have been honest that many are here for fear of their lives and the lives of their families but not because they believe America is wonderful, but on the other hand, they say they certainly don't go around telling everyone that. They just wanted a safer place to live and an ability to make a better living but at the same time, would not hesitate to move back to their own country if they felt safer. As the husband told me, he knows many that will lie to the face of many US citizens so as not to have their motives questioned (and he doesn't mean their motives are good). I have spent many hours with them and they have attended our Bible studies, but they are honest that they do believe there was a Jesus, a prophet, etc., but that their laws that are taught to them are not what is taught to us. When asked about the teachings of basically hating Christians, they admit that is true and that basically in order to live in this country, they are more tolerant than anything.
So don't be fooled by everything you hear. I am devout in my faith as well but my faith does not tell me to go out and slaughter Muslims, as in the Muslim belief of Christians.

There is nothing appealing about
that dark little corner of the funny farm you come from. After W's reign, just about anybody's perception of leadership would be warped and distorted but people who choose to lurk around in the shadows of gloom and doom sniping and snarling are living in their own special self-inflicted Armageddon.
Not willing to give O a chance, even before he's sworn? Pronouncing judgment and predicting the worst of the worst because you did't get your way Nov 4? Can't accept the reality of the voter's choice? Nothing constructive or positive to offer behind all your growls and hisses? Interested in creating more problems than solutions? Promoting division over unity?
How convincing do you think your statements would be to those beyond this little forum who are grounded in reality and whose focus is riveted on the aftermath of W's handiwork?

Berg appealing - Thank God for people like you
If someone wants a link I can provide, but here is basicially what it states. All I say is thank God there are people like Mr. Berg who are upholding the constitution and doing what is right. There needs to be a temporary halt until Obama's legitimacy can be proven. Up until now it has not.
Philip J. Berg is Appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court as Obama is "NOT" qualified to be President of the United States Lawsuit Against Obama Dismissed from Philadelphia Federal Court
For Immediate Release: - 10/25/08 -
UPDATE: Ruling attached at end. It's a really poor copy, but it is all we have for the moment. Willl put up a better copy when we get one.
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/25/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that he is immediately appealing the dismissal of his case to the United States Supreme Court. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Berg said, "I am totally disappointed by Judge Surrick's decision and, for all citizens of the United States, I am immediately appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution. If I don't have standing, if you don't have standing, if your neighbor doesn't have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States - the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world - then who does?
So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned.
According to Judge Surrick, we the people have no right to police the eligibility requirements under the U.S. Constitution.
What happened to ‘...Government of the people, by the people, for the people,...’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863.
We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the Office of the Presidency of the United States,” Berg said.
Our website obamacrimes.com now has 71.8 + million hits. We are urging all to spread the word of our website – and forward to your local newspapers and radio and TV stations.
Berg again stressed his position regarding the urgency of this case as, “we” the people, are heading to a “Constitutional Crisis” if this case is not resolved forthwith.
