I bet this makes Osama Bin Laden Laugh out Loud, just imagine the 'teamwork' if Barrack actually gets elected! We're screwed!I saw an article yesterday that says you are gayShould I believe everything I read? Also, to get a number like 46%, that means they went up like 5 or 6 generations and checked everyone... So since black people used to live mostly in Africa and Middle-East, it makes sense that somewhere in his genealogy, there are some people of Arabic blood. Every time a racist figures out how to use the internet, a baby hummingbird dies..^^

I bet this makes Osama Bin Laden Laugh out Loud, just imagine the 'teamwork' if Barrack actually gets elected! We're screwed! this is exactly the sort of thing that people incapable of / refuse to destinguish fact from fiction in the media would believe. Just because someone is arabic DOES NOT make them a terrorist. If you actually believed the media on many things peoples views would be as follows: 2 out of every 1 Muslims is a terroristevery bush has at least 3 paedophiles hiding in itapproximately 2 million meteorites could hit earth at any momentall every day appliances have more bacteria then a toilet seat and will kill youall telecommunications masts will cause instant cancer if you step within a 1km radius... Unfortunatly there are people out there that believe these rediculas arguments and will vote against obama. Chances are though for racist reasons most that cite something like that wouldn't vote for him anyway.

Aileron Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Well, I don't mind his race, though I do mind him. For starters, note the sig. For reference, I was told that quote is somewhere in his book 'Audacity of Hope'. While it does not technically place him on the side of the enemy, a person running for the leadership of the country should be saying that he would stand by the United States no matter what the political situation. I mind his friendship with 'Reverend' Wright. Obama certainly knew what this man was preaching, and he befriended him for 20 years. If instead we take Obama at his word and assume that he infact didn't know what Wright was preaching for 20 years - it makes Obama a clueless blind fool. I mind his friend William Heirs (spelling?), who's life achievement is bombing the Pentagon and killing several of our soldiers and who's only regret is that he didn't get more. Anyone applying for a position responsible for leading our military should hate people who kill soldiers. (On a side note, the man is now a professor at some university. In my humble opinion, the man should have been shot for treason. He got off on a technicality, fine. That still doesn't mean he deserves a cushy job. What's he an expert in anyway? How to indoctrinate liberal arts fools into a radical left-wing mentality?) I mind the fact that his wife 'only now' likes the United States, a country which overall has been good to her - she's always had a roof over her head, food on her table, and enough opportunity to become a practicing lawyer. Her ingra!@#$%^&*ude makes her a spoiled !@#$%^&* in my book. I mind the fact that Obama refuses to wear an American flag lapel pin because it would show more patriotism than he has. I know, what someone wears is trivial, but come on! The President should be a man so patriotic he not only wears the lapel pin, but also dresses in red white and blue, has the 'Star Spangled Banner' as the ring tone for his cell phone, and wears American flag print boxer shorts. In short, the President should be one of the most patriotic people in the country and must not be afraid to show it. So, I don't mind how much Arabic blood flows through Obama's veins. I have plenty to hate him on already. Look, I know Obama has a D after his name and McCain has an R after his. Is there any other reason why an American would not prefer McCain?

True, but the way your perceive as the best way to do this may not be shared by all. Also that part of your sig is hard to get the true meaning out of as it has been stripped of its context. I mind his friendship with 'Reverend' Wright. Obama certainly knew what this man was preaching, and he befriended him for 20 years. If instead we take Obama at his word and assume that he infact didn't know what Wright was preaching for 20 years - it makes Obama a clueless blind fool. Seems odd to me as well, not really foll wed this bot so much. Could be a case of him hijacking media spotlight to get some pent-up views out though which isnt unheard of.

I mind the fact that his wife 'only now' likes the United States, a country which overall has been good to her - she's always had a roof over her head, food on her table, and enough opportunity to become a practicing lawyer. Her ingra!@#$%^&*ude makes her a spoiled !@#$%^&* in my book. fine but she wont be running the nation will she.

You don't have to be that obvious to love your country, its policy not looks that matter at the end of the day. So, I don't mind how much Arabic blood flows through Obama's veins. I have plenty to hate him on already. Look, I know Obama has a D after his name and McCain has an R after his. Is there any other reason why an American would not prefer McCain? how about many people dislike what McCain stands for?
Bak Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 yeah aileron you seem only concerned with things that don't matter rather than what each candidate will do (lapel pin? srsly; and since when are we holding candidates responsible for what their friends say, mccain has plenty of religious nuts on his side who think the world will end in $CURRENTYEAR$ + 1). Obama promises getting out of Iraq, and national health care. McCain is definitely a step up from Bush in that he would never allow waterboarding, however there's nothing more about him that really intrigues me.
GameTime Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 I saw an article yesterday that says Barrack is 46% Arabic... I bet this makes Osama Bin Laden Laugh out Loud, just imagine the 'teamwork' if Barrack actually gets elected! We're screwed! Who cares if he is Arabic, Muslim, etc.? Are you saying all people from the middle east are bad, terrorists even? Leave it to a Christian to think other people from other countries and relgions are bad because they are not white Christians.
nahtaiveL gniK Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Anybody ever read Plato's The Cave? Interesting concept that rings true today. Anyway, The fact that a person is 46% anything should be a moot point in this day and age. As long as people are sound of heart and soul then it shouldn't matter. As for Aileron, there are times when people can not be proud of our country isnt there? I mean isn't that the beauty of the country, to be able to say we don't agree or or not proud of our country? Theres plenty of reasons to like and dislike the country. By your language you take your bite out of one side of the two flavored ice cream, so if you want leverage in any debate you need to bring unbiased sources in the eyes of all viewing to the table. McCain will have gaffs, Obama will have gaffs, we are humans, not androids. And as bipedal humans we should walk toward truths, and not base our views on shadows on the wall.

SeVeR Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) How did you know you weren't standing next to Obama in that picture in your sig? I mean... they all look alike to you right? -EDIT- Aw, sig has been changed, lol. Edited July 25, 2008 by SeVeR
Aileron Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Look, I'll be the first one in line to say that outward appearance means crap, but the reason I care about the lapel pin is because it is such a small step to showing patriotism. I mean, McCain has given up years of his life for our country in the Hanoi Hilton, while Obama isn't willing to sacrifice a spot on his suit for it. Still, rest !@#$%^&*ured that it is at the bottom of my list right above his genetic background. I just thought it was worth mentioning As suspected, my spelling was off. His name is William Ayers. Wikipedia It doesn't mention anything about bombing the Pentagon there admittingly, but if I'm wrong I wasn't far off the mark. The point being, he was a serial bomber, and Obama is his friend. Bak, McCain hasn't befriended the nuts you mention. My point is that Obama has nuts in his core social network. They won't hold any power, but the fact that he loves those people does say something about who he is. Naht, patriotism is a factor for the position of president. This isn't merely a job they are applying for. They need to be the face, voice, and will of the country, and they can't do that while hating it. And yes, I will only scoop up my side of the ice cream because this is a debate, not a monologue. I'm not trying to promote some unbiased neutral opinion - I'm trying to promote my opinion. I figure those on the other side will scoop up the other side of the ice cream themselves. Well, what I do like about McCain is that he isn't a lawyer. He's I don't know how many generations of military. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the McCain family has been military since the days of William Wallace. I was watching the History channel one time, a show called 'Fire at Sea', about the same time where Hillary made her bogus claim to have dodged sniper fire, where they were discussing a disaster on the USS Onsk (spelling?), when McCain's fighter was shot by a runaway missile and the footage showed him climbing out of the burning airplane. He has also supposedly done a fair job in the skies before being shot down and spending years as a POW. Overall, he's a honest to God war hero. He has three sons in the military, one of which is a Marine Officer stationed in Iraq as we speak, so we know he isn't going to do anything stupid in the War on Terror as it is his sons' !@#$%^&*es on the line. Granted, I'm beginning to realize that the Marines are just the Navy's sad attempt to emulate the Army, but in a two party system I'll settle for a Navy family. And, as I said, he's not a lawyer. Thus he hasn't been trained to think like 2/3rds of the politicians in Congress. He has the potential to create major improvements, though I hold a reservation in that up to this point he hasn't shown the capacity to commit. Still, its a two party system, and Obama seems perfectly willing to commit to every stupid antagonistic 'change' which he dreams up in his lawyer head.

Bak Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 McCain is definitely a war hero, no one can deny that. Patriotism is a double edged sword though. On one sense we need someone who loves America and is looking out for our best interests. On the other hand, we don't want someone so patriotic they think everyone else is crap and we're the best at everything and there's nothing to learn from the policies of others. For example, a blindly patriotic president may think we have the best military on earth and there's no way any force could wage a serious war for more than a few months, whereas a more levelheaded person would realize that short of committing atrocities against innocents, we can't dominate in a guerrilla war. This translates to other policies. A blindly patriotic leader would say we have the best education/healthcare/tax system and that would be the end of it whereas an objective leader would realize that many European schools are doing better than ours, and move to adopt their policies which have been produced results. An objective leader would see that Candians live longer than Americans, and try to figure out why and do what they have done to get those results. As for pride, something extraordinary is required to be proud of your country (not saying this isn't the case). Sure it's great that we have freedom of speech, career, thoughts, but these are our "inalienable rights". Hurray the government hasn't robbed us of what it has no right to take away! Would you be proud of a child because he didn't beat up his little brother, or steal from his mother's purse? Maybe...
SeVeR Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 If sitting in prison somehow makes you a better President, then lets all get behind Charlie Manson.

Maybe...This is a great way of describing how patriotism can be expressed in completely different ways. In the case of the election the way in which people believe patriotism should be shown (probably war hero american dream vs every american counts) will play a major role.

Dav Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Also, it's just about possible that Picard is being sarcastic possibly, but it is the fact that such an opinion may exist somewhere that is cauing the debate here
AstroProdigy Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Ignoring the clear racism and ignorance from Picard I can easily just shoot down this whole thing because it's not even true. Where is your source for Barack Obama being 46% Arab? So Obama is now a black supremacist AND an Arab? Either his mom is half Arab and his dad is half Arab, his mom is almost fully Arab and his dad is black, his mom is white and his dad is almost fully Arab or a combination of these must be true in order for Obama to be 46% Arab. Here's a picture of his father. Here's a picture of his mother. Considering Obama's mother is entirely white and Obama's father is entirely black by both ancestry and appearance for Obama to be 46% Arab would require me to be Chinese and Picard to be black since all three are equally valid. I read an article confirming that Picard is indeed of African American extraction and, therefore, I must believe it because that's what being that mentally challenged requires. Hey you know I heard Martin Luther King was Russian oh no! Picard you lend credence to the argument that some people just shouldn't be allowed to vote. Edited June 25, 2008 by AstroProdigy
