A Yahoo! Answers response to the Muslim rumors

I gave this response to a person who brought up multiple rumors involving Obama being Muslim and things related to that. (I am Billy MO)
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080805175943AAllZvw&r=w#FYJ2CFa8I2adUQwJ41WF Here is the question if you want to view that.

Here is my response:
LOL
I hope you are lieing and not a person who can't do research.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/...
This site will help you.
Here are some things that you mentioned. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/...
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/... He said he would stand by arab americans if the WIND SHIFTED AGAINST THEM MEANING HE WOULD HELP KEEP THEM FROM BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
They are misquotes, sorry if I got a little angry, but people keep spreading these lies and I have to correct them with the truth. See above links.
ps, even if he was muslim it should not matter, 99% of them are fine people who would not hurt a fly.
Besides, if he was some body who wanted to attack the U.S. why would he want to be president? every body would be watching him 24/7, you can't get away with much as prez.
MORE EVIDENCE THAT HE IS NOT! http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl...

http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/ch...
So no, I don't think so. (that he is Muslim)
Him being socialist/marxist is another lie... but email me if you want that story, this is long enough.


Now, that is all well and good, but I don't think that will work for a genaric question that calls Obama a Muslim. I have edited it below to be more friendly for Copying and Pasting to Yahoo! Answers.

2,000,000 (two million)

Today Obama's campaign passed the two million donor mark. A remarkable feet for a nominee who was unknown a year ago. Even more remarkable because it is before the convention. Just wanted to let every body know.

My personal pick for Obama vp seems to have very little in his schedule around the convention. He is confirmed on the short list. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/14/us/politics/14kaine.html?_r=1&ref=politics&oref=slogin

Tim Kaine: Governor of VA.

A more moderate democrat from a swing state that boarders another swing state. From my point of view, Virgina is the gate way to the south for democrats. If Obama can wrap up VA, he can concentrate more on other southern states like North Carolina (latest polls show McCain up 4). Kaine can also assure independent voters that Obama is not single mindedly to the left of them. Obama would also look a little more likely to work over party lines. This is definitly enough to get Kaine on the short list, but one or two more things would help...
He can speak fluent Spanish. What better way to connect the the Spanish speaking people in swing states like New Mexico, Colorado, and to an extent Florida.

Kaine does lack experence, but it would combine a govenors experence to a senators. And besides, it does not matter who Obama picks, the Republicans will still attack him for being unexperenced.
In the electoral map Kaine would help in VA (13 votes), his Spanish speaking would help in Colorado, New Mexico, and Florida. (41 votes) and Kaine would allow Obama to move people from VA to set up a ground game in North Carolina. (15 votes) Kaine could directly influence 54 electoral votes and indirectly influence 15 more. Total of 69 votes out of 270 needed. (That is good for a running mate) There is a slight chance that he could move more votes, but we will not go into that now.
Obama and Kaine seem to get along very well, they would be a good team in the Oval office.

Clarification

To clarify my last post

"Democrats are often more Libertarian (ie: gay rights, most against wiretapping, civil rights in the past) Republicans tend to be more Authoritarian (ie, wiretapping)."
Should be:
Democrats are often more Libertarian (ie: gay rights, most against wiretapping, AND FOR civil rights in the past) Republicans tend to be more Authoritarian (ie, wiretapping).

Democrats are NOT Socialists/Marxist!

First of all Marxist are very much for government control of every thing. Liberal or Conservative is only half of politics. The other half is just as important because it allows you to tell leftists like Stalin and Gandhi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi - who was much like Martin Luther King). This other half of politics is Libertarian or Authoritarian. You have probably heard of the Libertarian party, or at least Ron Paul. I could bother to explain their respective stances in detail, but this site does a better job than I ever could. http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Just to be clear, every body is a Liberal or a Conservative AND a Libertarian or an Authoritarian. I, for instance, am a Libertarian Liberal who votes for/ supports Democrats. To find out what you are take the test a political compass.


Democrats are often more Libertarian (ie: gay rights, most against wiretapping, civil rights in the past) Republicans tend to be more Authoritarian (ie, wiretapping).

Now, in order to be a socialist, one would have to be Exceedingly Liberal and Authoritarian. Socialists like Hugo Chavez want to control all aspects of the economy and the personal lives of the people. Ironically, the Republicans tend to be Authoritarian (though not nearing the level of socialism) and Democrats tend to be Liberal (FDR was not as Liberal as Socialists , Obama is about half as liberal as he would need to be.) Marxists are even worse than Socialists- more Authoritarian.

In short, Democrats are not Liberal enough to be socialist, AND many are almost the opposite of Socialists in that they believe in far to many Libertarian things to be socialists.

Now, this is a Yahoo! Answers Blog, so I am going to put this into a format that can be copied and pasted in to Y!A. (http://testing123qwe.blogspot.com/ see the original post at my blog I will be mostly making things like this on my blog)

IF YOU HAVE READ THE ABOVE, THERE IS NO REASON TO READ THE NEXT PART!

The other half is just as important because it allows you to tell leftists like Stalin and Gandhi apart.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi - who was much like Martin Luther King). Democrats (including Obama) are often more Libertarian (ie: gay rights, most against wiretapping, civil rights in the past) Republicans tend to be more Authoritarian (ie, wiretapping).
By adding the social dimension you can show that Stalin was an authoritarian leftist (ie the state is more important than the individual) and that Gandhi, believing in the supreme value of each individual, is a libertarian leftist. http://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2.
Obama is a Libertarian Leftist (or at least not Authoritarian) Socialists/Marxists are Authoritarian. If you don't believe me, look it up. @end copy and past here

The Truth of Obama Nation

As I suspected, Obama Nation is truly an abomination. After reading both The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father, it is easy to spot Jerome Corsi for the liar he is! Take a look at this website where it is shown that many of Corsi's statements are nothing more than deceptive lies!

Obama Nation

Has anyone read Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi? I started reading it last night. The first chapter is complete BS! Corsi tries to get inside the mind of Barack Obama. He tries to tell the reader basically how he feels that Obama should have written Dreams from My Father. That is absurd. Obama did a wonderful job on that book. Corsi's concern is that Obama did not detail enough about his father's addiction to alcohol and women. I thought Obama did just that in Dreams from My Father. He clearly shows that his father was an alcoholic and a womanizer. Corsi also makes the claim that Obama tries to make his father out to be a victim due to his race. However, Obama clearly writes that his father had many great attributes, but he also had fatal flaws. The flaws that Obama talks about are the issues Corsi claims Obama did not spend enough time on. My concern with this book, Obama Nation, is with the half-truths told by Jerome Corsi. He claims that Obama told half-truths in Dreams from My Father. However, this is Obama's life. It was written when he was 34 years old. He had zero motive politically at the time. He told his own story how he saw fit. I am concerned because those who are against Obama are only going to see this one side, that of Corsi. His sources are contradictory at times. He did not interview Obama himself. How can he tell Obama how he should have written his life story? Every aspect that Corsi claims was not covered in great detail was in fact covered in great detail. Those who have not read Dreams from My Father, but who do choose to read Obama Nation, will get a false representation of Obama and his father. We need to get the word out and help educate people on Obama. I strongly suggest that everyone read The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father.

There was one part of this first chapter I need to follow up on. It deals with JFK and the Selma marches in 1965. Supposedly, Obama claims that JFK helped bring his father to the US to study in Hawaii. However, JFK was not in office at that time. Also, Obama said that Selma got him born. Since Obama was born in 1961 and Selma was in 1965, then that is not possible. He probably wanted to add a personal touch to his speech at Selma. After all, it can be interpreted in more ways than one. Here is a link about the Selma issue. The JFK issue is a little more cloudy for me. JFK did help fund a second airlift of Africans to the US for studying when he was in office, but Obama's father was on the first airlift prior to JFK's election. I will look into these issues. If you know anything, then please post!
