[QUOTE=intelligentjetsfan;4394091]It proves that the majority of GOP voters in Mississippi are misinformed.

By the way, I would love to see a poll conducted as to where these people go for their news. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

I bet the Democrats who don't have photo ID's and are bussed into vote in Mississippi are highly informed.

What's wrong with being a Muslim, and/or assuming someone with a Muslim sounding name might be a Muslim? If you don't think libs are going to attack Mitt in subtle ways for being a member of a cult your BS yourself.

Yeah, and?

89% of Democratic voters in this country believe that Obamacare will decrease health care costs.

Ignorance all around.

More than half of American voters in 2008 thought Obama would make a good president.

Alot of people do not believe President Obama, on many issues.

Also, Mississipppi. Nuff said.

His faith is his business, generally speaking. But given the Church he attended and for how long, I wouldn't call that brand of faith as mainstream Christian either.

Just like calling him black is not accurate (he's not, he's bi-racial), calling him a Christian is a not accurate either. He went to a Church preaching Black Liberation Theology.

In any event, this poll reminds me of one where 89% of Liberal Protesters at an Eco Rally signed a petition to ban the evils of Dihydrogen monoxide.

The ill or portially informed are not exactly a minority.

[QUOTE=parafly;4394254]Serious question ... how exactly has he gone out of his way to appease Muslims? Is it strictly the rhetoric?
[/QUOTE]

[B]Obama's Acts of preferentialism for Islam:[/B]

* May 2009 – While Obama does not host any National Day of Prayer event at the White House, he does host White House Iftar dinners in honor of Ramadan.

* April 2010 – Christian leader Franklin Graham is disinvited from the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer Event because of complaints from the Muslim community.

* April 2010 – The Obama administration requires rewriting of government documents and a change in administration vocabulary to remove terms that are deemed offensive to Muslims, including jihad, jihadists, terrorists, radical Islamic, etc.

* August 2010 – Obama speaks with great praise of Islam and condescendingly of Christianity.

* August 2010 – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on multiple occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero, while at the same time he was silent about a Christian church being denied permission to rebuild at that location.

* 2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.

* October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House.

* February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.

I can GUARANTEE you, if that were a white Baptist church with the same rhetoric going the other way their 501c would be gone.

They left out my favorite: "Obama’s new mission for NASA: Reach out to Muslim world"

And how about bombing Libya to help the Muslim Brotherhood institute Democracy and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood oust our ally in Egypt?

Out side the church, Ding-Dong. POS the "good" reverend and "like my family" is doing in the pulpit. Your Boy, Billy, knew how to shutemup!


To demonstrate how far public policy is from law, consider this: The IRS removed the tax-exempt status of the Landmark Church, in Binghamton, New York on May 12, 2000 because they took out full page ads stating that presidential candidate Bill Clinton's views on abortion, homosexuality and condom distribution in schools were unbiblical (a concept similar to John the Baptist's message to Herod—Mark 16:18). The Landmark Church had solicited and received many tax-deductible donations from that ad. But during the same political campaign, Bill Clinton and many other liberal candidates made announced appearances in churches, which caused many additional people to attend and place tax-deductible contributions in the churches' collection plates. It is completely up to the IRS to decide upon which churches they will enforce their public policy and upon which they will not. Appeals courts frequently reverse all convictions when a law is being "selectively enforced". (For example, if a city requires a fire escape for 3-story houses, but only enforces the law against a few "enemies" of the mayor, a court is likely to reject convictions as "selective enforcement".) The Landmark Church raised the "selective enforcement" issue in court and was essentially told that it does not apply to bureaucracies like the IRS.

Thanks for the response. Let's just say I'll agree to disagree that Obama is appeasing Muslims in any significant terms.

Feel free to refute any single example. Or just continue to be absolutely useless with zero substance.

Either/or.
