Goo, your ranting and arguments based purely on lack of information or being filled with misinformation are growing tiring at this point. I could damn near go point by point countering your claims, but I sense that even if I did so that you would still not be even remotely open to changing your opinions or attitudes. So what would be the point? Let's counter just one of your poorly misinformed critiques.

Now, I encourage you to step back with a clear head and start reading all of the information presented about Obama on the site (both good and bad). Hell, even start a checklist to see how many lies you swallowed without an ounce of research. Check to see how many negative things you believed turned out to be true. You should find that you are pretty severely misinformed. You are ranting (in caps) about him not just saying he didn't get sworn in on the Quran and such and complaining that he should just say he wasn't if he wasn't. So I offered you exactly what you want. However, I'm quite sure that even that will not change your mind. Obama gives some credit to Americans and believes they are smarter than to believe all the nonsense being thrown out. Perhaps he gives too much credit?

It's nice to see that stereotypes are alive and well :rolleyes:

I agree with so many points in here, Obama was the best choice to get America out of the horrible mess it's got into over the last 8 years.

I don't really need to say a lot, just take a look at the British press headlines this morning:

The world is celebrating.

Quit with the bitterness and see beyond the color of someone's skin and the deity they worship. And if you can't? Well, it's a very sad life you lead.

HA!
just don't go to the red states and you'll be fine.

seriously......if this election proves nothing else, the majority of americans do NOT think like this. and even amongst all out lovely MT posters, quite honestly...i don't believe that the majority of posters who start threads such as this are truly serious. i think it's internet culture - oooooo, i'll get a rise out of all those leftys, ooooo i'll start some 'fun'.....etc.


there are people with warped views EVERYwhere....and perhaps we have a lot of em the states, dunno...i've run into my fair share just about everywhere. i just think we have such a HUGE populations, we have more of EVERYthing, all beliefs, etc.


come to NY!
you'd love us here!

Hah, the Metro one is retarded, look at the very bottom

Then again, it's hardly usually a good paper either.

Oh yeah they did an article on how Obama will look after 8 hard years in office... really worth the paper it was printed on :rolleyes:

It's like the National Enquirer of papers though, full of garbage! I just really like the headline

Joe Biden has been in Washington for how long???? It happened on all their watch, but certainly on the idiots in congress for more than 7 years.

Rich like a chocolate lave cake and oozing in goodness? So, you complimented me, eh?

My president to president comparison wasn't clear, I guess. I thought it was pretty straight foward.

Goo, You are incorrect when you say that this country was founded on Christian beliefs. The writers of the constitution felt that freedom of religion is paramount. Here is a link to Thomas Jefferson quotes about religion. http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/jefferson/quotations/jeff1650.htm

And I think you should look at the history of Christian religions. Christians have been some of the most brutal killers in the name of their God.

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is quoted as saying that he had come to bring the sword, to "set father against son and mother against daughter" (Luke 12:53) and called on his followers to "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me" (Luke 19:27).

Here's one example, "These words have, in the history of Christianity, been enacted in bloody reality many times - starting when an important political rebellion against the Roman Catholic Church took on a religious slant - leading to the split in European Christendom between Catholic and Protestant. This split sparked off a series of religious wars which were ultimately to be responsible for the death of nearly a third of the entire White race."
