One In Ten Of Us Question “Osama Obama’s” Committment To “Jebus Crisp”
“There’s just something FUNNY about this guy“, says one out of ten of us.
Remember that guy with the red stapler and the huge, coke-bottle bottomed, plastic-rimmed glasses in the movie “Office Space”? That’s HIM. He VOTES. And, the most recent PEW Research Center poll says his opinion is DEFINITELY… “important“…
Scared yet?
From The Raw Story:
Poll: 1 in 10 get Obama’s religion wrong
Poll: 1 in 10 Voters Mistakenly Think Obama Is Muslim
One in 10 voters believes Barack Obama is Muslim, a mistaken impression that lingers across party lines, a poll showed Wednesday.
Fourteen percent of Republicans, 10 percent of Democrats and 8 percent of independents mistakenly think he is Muslim, according to a survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Just over half of each group correctly identified him as Christian, while about a third said they don’t know his religion.
The false rumor that the Democratic presidential candidate and Illinois senator is Muslim has been fanned on the Internet and conservative talk radio. …”
Not that I’m in Mr. Obama’s camp; I’m NOT. On the other hand, I sometimes wonder if it wouldn’t be such a good idea after all to require a passing grade in some sort of “Q&A” to determine one’s Intelligent Quotient (“IQ”) before allowing them to cast a vote. After all, it’s FRIGHTENING just how scary and dangerous “The Sheeple” can be in a Democratic Republic such as ours…

GTL I love you man! This line of yours sums it up “I sometimes wonder if it wouldn’t be such a good idea after all to require a passing grade in some sort of “Q&A” to determine one’s Intelligent Quotient (”IQ”) before allowing them to cast a vote.”

Oh, get off it! You know the only reason you are promoting that 10% rubbish is because of your NRA inclinations. STOP IT. You are only discrediting your website.

I with you man, everybody knows that if an IQ test was needed to qualify to vote, 80 or 90% of the Dem’s would be disqualified !!!
Pssst… Obama isn’t Christian or Muslim… He’s the anti-christ !

Talk radio hosts may talk a lot of trash, but I have yet to hear one say Obama is a muslim. Anyone else actually hear this on the radio? And I don’t mean a caller. How about names, dates and times? Then I could get a transcript and check it out.

I’m not sure why people are so upset about the rev.’s comments. Are we saying that the country isn’t controlled by rich white men? Saying the country is controlled by rich white men and that Hillary is from a privileged class, never been called a nigger, or had problems just trying to catch a cab is some now reversed racism? We keep voting in the same people from the same caste, and the country over all is getting worst and worst for the middle and lower classes. Not 1 person has been arrested for these sub prime mortgage failures. Not 1 person arrested for violating constitutional amendments and yet we keep voting the same old rich white men in who turn around and stab us ALL in the back a use race as an issue as we scramble for the crumbs they leave us on the ground. When will we learn?
Maybe he should have said it in a low tone of voice instead of shouting. White people can’t standing shouting, even more so when black people do it because it reminds them to much of Al Sharpton. lol
There are over 1 million Iraq’s dead, 4,000 of us (USA) troops have died, more than 50k wounded in battle, and we’re not even going to talk about the number if contractors (mercenaries) who’ve died since this mess has started. People grow up learning to do unto others as you will have them do to you and what goes around comes around. However, when we grow up these lessons are conveniently forgotten; we act naive when people from other places finally get around to snapping from our constant meddling in their affairs. We play innocent, as if we just don’t understand their problem.. all the while we continue to elect the same upper class establishment over and over again.
Our loyalty to these old white men ( this could be any color, it’s just that here they happen to be white) has been and steady weak dollar, a debt we can never balance, corporate corruption at the highest levels, destruction of the middle class, social services damn near eliminated, pro torture, the constitution is a non issue, etc….
Mean while the most important thing is what a rev might have said years ago.
No word on McCain standing behind the nut job rev. haggee for his endorsement…
Too busy trying to see if obama has secrete Muslim blood. Lol I never knew there was such a thing until now.
Interesting..

Scary. Maybe we better check into General OMAR Bradley!?

F&B 80 or 90 percent huh. What planet are you living on? The Republican party is made up mostly, of idiot rednecks with no education and crazy religious nutbags who believe the bible literally. And you say the Dems are dumb?!?!

Yes, Mary, I do.

Chick: “…and the country over all is getting worst and worst for the middle and lower classes…” — All these people for whom you claim the country is getting worse need to take responsibility for themselves and stop trying to blame all the “old white men” for their problems.
Then and only then will things start getting better for those people. Because if they don’t take responsibility, when the “old white men” move aside and the non-old non-white non-men take control, those people will just start blaming someone else.
It is not up to any individual but yourself, and it is not up to society or the village to make a way for you. You have to make your own way. That is how society grows and evolves. That is the way our nation gets stronger.
People get what they give. The more you give, the more you will get. The harder you work, the greater your payback. Bring your ‘A’ game and you will succeed. Bring a bad attitude and you will fail.

I agree with F&B, the gov’t is not here to guarantee that we all succeed. Chick, also note that even our middle and lower classes enjoy living standards (in certain areas) better than their counter parts in Europe. Perhaps not in say health care, but we have more stuff in other respects.
But, there is also a bit of truth to what chick said.
A bit of a side track, but….this article is another good reason why we should homeschool our kids. The purpose of the Public Schools IS to create sheep! (liberal or conservative…doesn’t matter) Why do you think the robber barons (Carnegie and the like) put so much of their money into the system? Answer: To create a predictable, easy to control citizenry to work in their corporations. Rich white men indeed!

I think it is all those smart folk in D.C. that dug the hole and shoved us over the edge. I’d be more in favor of a “common sense” test. I’m thinkin’ that is a whole lot more lacking.
F&B – You’re mistaken, guy. Obama couldn’t be the anti christ. Obama is a Democrat. If you’re lookin’ for the anti christ would have more luck if you looked toward the GOP. Matter of fact, look up toward the top.

Of course, there used to be literacy tests for people to take in order to be considered “qualified” to vote, but those were suspended by the Voting Rights Act. These days, it’s unlikely any IQ test as a prerequisite to get to vote would ever pass Constitutional Muster, as voting is one of the handful of rights referred to as “Fundamental.” Fundamental rights under Judicial review are subject to the most stringent of standards – Strict Scrutiny. This means that the law is presumptively invalid, and it is up to the body proposing the law to basically prove it’s validity. To pass strict scrutiny, a law must be Substantially Related to a Compelling Governmental Interest. Not only this, but the law challenged must also be the LEAST RESTRICTIVE means to achieve the goal. It would be rather difficult to sell the restriction of American Citizens’ votes as Substantially Related to any governmental interest, and on that standard alone, a legislator would have a rather difficult time getting the law through.
F&B, when you assert that Obama is the anti-christ, do you do so with malicious intent, or is this mere satire?

I am a member of a few gun forums, and have
noticed several people who are obsessed
with this idea.Obama’s middle name (Hussein)
is their “proof” that he is a Muslim
terrorist anti christ or worse.
F&B, these people are Republican
idiots, not the Democrat idiots you
seem so fond of.
It always pays to remember that 100
is the AVERAGE IQ, thus 50% are below
this exhalted level.
This is the “Republican Right”.
Have a great day.

Mine averages around 146, Mark. I’ve never used the anti-christ Obama’s middle name, never called him a Muslim or a terrorist. And I am fond of all God’s people, regardless of their political preference or their IQ (or EQ for that matter).

Have you by onmly 1 point, fluff,
but that test was many years ago
and I’m sure mine has taken a turn
for the worse…
I have been associated with many
of “god’s people” over the last
60 years, and find most of them
self important shits.
In most cases, I much prefer the
company of dogs.
BUT, on the good side,
the “religious right” is one of
the reasons I own so many guns…
Have a great Sunday.

I’ll interpret my comments. By all of God’s people I mean everyone, regardless of race, creed, color, age, income level, political or religious beliefs, etc.
I have been acquainted with many self-important s***s on both sides of the aisle and of many different religious persuasions. Whenever that happens to a person it is a sad thing. We should just see them for who they are and not let it make us bitter, because if we do, they win.
And, thank you, I will. Every day is a great day. As the Priest said this morning – Today is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!
Happy Eastertime.

Whoa, are you sure that photoshopped picture is a good idea? I am afraid someone will pick it up and circulate it without realizing it’s a joke.
