Sounds like a reader of Jihad watch.

Yes, I like to keep a close eye on the Islamophobes in Babylonia... ;)

But hand on a Bible or whatever, No, I've never seen that happen.

Makes ya wonder why the big stink over someone swearing in on the Qur'an... ;)

(Or have 'we' already forgotten 'bout THAT?)

I think your confusing swearing to tell the truth in a court room to the taking a oath when joining the military.

If Senator Obama wins, it will not last the first 100 days.

I guess when things don't go your way, 'positive thinking' goes away too... ;)

the US Military and the US Government is sworn to uphold and protect the constitution of the United States

Since they have sworn in on the very book that condemns swearing, we should have nothing to worry about... ;)

Federal appointees and military inductees have the option of stating "I solemnly affirm" rather than "I solemnly swear". As I recall from my own induction ceremony, a fair number did just that. We were not required to use a Bible or any other sacred text.

Maybe I can clarify here.

I have heard the speculation from at least a dozen people that they think if Obama wins, he will be assasinated.

Point of clarification: I am voting for Obama. I do not support this idea nor am I encouraging it. This is just speculation I am hearing from within the groups I associate with. There are too many wingnuts out there who simply will not accept an African-American in the Presidency.

Is this as far as you dare to go in explaining your statement?

Well, you're wrong. Do you know why you're wrong?
Because you're a reactionary right winger with nothing to base your opinions on beyond the ravings of O'Reilley and the other idiots spreading their hate and corporatist agendas.

You're wrong because that little group of desperate, hopeless morons you chum around with are not indicative of America.

So you keep doing your little impotent right wing rage dance over in the corner while the rest of your country joins the human race again under Obama.

I guess I know how to press your rant button. Isn't this just an opinion thread?

Blurf, you are guilty of thinking about what RichaG opined and what he meant by his short statement, instead of jumping to knee jerk conclusions.

Obama has at least two strikes against him that vilify him toward certain individuals and groups. He's a mulatto and his father was once a Muslim. A possible assassination attempt if he takes office is a real possiblity. (Crunch the numbers)

Face It due to being Human, Everybody on Earth is of Mixed Heritage, Me, You, Everybody. Deny this and You Deny that You are Human. And Yes Obama could be an assassination target, But so was JFK, He was Catholic, Just Like My Brother, His Wife and One of My two Nieces, Note His other two children and I aren't Catholic. Also even though My mother never took the Catechism, She could have been Catholic as She went to a Catholic school where a thoughtless Nun put the idea into Her mind that If She couldn't get pregnant that She could not have Sex at all, So when Mom had a Hysterectomy She said She couldn't have Sex with Her Husband(My Dad) anymore and everyone around Her said She could, But to Her that was impossible, She didn't have plastic surgery to remove the birth canal and So She could of had sex with any Man and Yet It was all in Her head, She professed Her love for My Dad and Yet drove Him off cause He was right and She was in need of Help and wouldn't see It or allow It, She just went in what is called Doctor shopping for a Doctor Who'd agree with Her part-self imposed lie.

One of my great great grandmothers was full blood Cherokee and I have 4 mulatto cousins (the mother is one of my father's sisters) and one of my half sisters has 1 mulatto child who is named after me. You're preaching to the choir (me) on this one.

And Yes Obama could be an assassination target, But so was JFK, He was Catholic


I believe I got that one covered with the link in my previous post.

Sorry, Just agreeing with you without even knowing It. :D

Strange, religious folk are mass murderers one day, and assassination targets the next day... ;)

(But it's ALWAYS the pious religious folk who die!)

Only "the pious religious folk"? I'll be an immortal then, fantastic!

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...
