For Trump Muslim Question Guy Part 3

General Colin Powell quoted regarding if President Obama was a Muslim: "So what if he is? Is there something wrong with that?" (Look for it on goodreads quotes under Colin Powell).

I have Muslim friends. They are good, godly and hardworking people. The women are beautiful like Queen Rania of Jordan and very clean, friendly and nice.

President Obama attended a Catholic school as a child like President Kennedy did, volunteered for the Catholic church during the 80's in Chicago for 12 parishes for 4 years and picked a Catholic VP in Joe Biden.

There is nothing wrong with being a Muslim. They have lived in America for generations.

Also President Obama's roots and activism are Catholic based, shame on people like Trump and others like Muslim Question Guy for behaving like those in Nazi Germany.

Hate at it's worst as well as human behavior.

You sir are nothing but a hate monger, psychologically damaged and deranged, not a true American nor Christian, on par with Nazi Germany, shame on you.

Wagging The Dog

"Wagging the dog is so easy in America. I expect the same thing to happen in 2016:
 1) Make sure the Democratic candidate is pro-war, pro-spying, and pro-corporate welfare. Ask them to make extremely liberal speeches, and even pretend not to be as stated above.


 2) Make an inflammatory frivolous campaign against him or her. Be intentionally racist if the candidate is black, sexist, if a woman. Make fun of everything. Create straw man arguments (like question their citizenship, or religious affiliation). Attack their mother.


 3) Watch otherwise liberal individuals flock to that Democrat's defense, not because they agree with their policies, but because he is being brutally and unfairly attacked.
 4) Sit back and enjoy the results: More war, broad based investigation of every citizen without judicial oversight, and big fat corporate kick backs on policies that only benefit corporations and not the American public (i.e. drone wars, or shifting the profits from doctors to health insurance companies).
 See, a lot easier than attempting to push a conservative candidate through the election system on a Republican ticket where they belong!


 So go ahead and support Obomba and continue supporting the Turncoatcrat Democrats in 2016. And best of all, keep falling for those "Conservative" warmonger tricks. Boy do they love making you think that they are sincere, as you keep blindly doing their bidding... After all, a REAL liberal in power could ruin EVERYTHING they've built up since Reagan, and if the military cash cow were to run dry, and the money were to go to public works and social projects, now that would leave a lot of their friends looking for legitimate work..."

Conservative Thinking, Values, Morals, Ethics

"Conservatives, on the other hand, have a very different view of democracy. For them democracy is supposed to provide them with the liberty to do what they want, without being responsible for others and without others being responsible for them. For them, there is only personal responsibility, not social responsibility. Indeed, providing public resources is, to a conservative, immoral, taking away personal responsibility, making people dependent, lazy, unable to take care of themselves. Removing public resources is seen as providing incentives, and individual liberty is seen as the condition in which you can carry out your incentives." -George Lakoff,

Cons and Libs

“Progressive and conservatives have very different understandings of democracy. For progressives empathy is at the center of the very idea of democracy. Democracy is a governing system in which citizens care about their fellow citizens and work through their government to provide public resources for all. In short, in a democracy, the private depends on the public." Democratic Strategies Lost Big. Here’s an Alternative ☀

Right Wing Fallacies

So many right wingers claim snopes.com news items are not true when in fact they are, thoroughly researched by an educated couple that are not even registered Democrats nor liberals. Plus with sources provided. This also reminds me (see article Obama Is A Republican, from The New American Conservative, I think) of claims of (non existent) voter fraud in the last two elections even though President Obama won fair and square through grassroots movements and large numbers of minority voter turnout (hell GWB never even contested giving the Presidency to Obama, unlike he did with Al Gore back in 2000).

azspot.net Quote on President Obama

“I don’t expect any conservatives to recognize the truth of Obama’s fundamental conservatism for at least a couple of decades—perhaps only after a real progressive presidency. In any case, today they are too invested in painting him as the devil incarnate in order to frighten grassroots Republicans into voting to keep Obama from confiscating all their guns, throwing them into FEMA re-education camps, and other nonsense that is believed by many Republicans. But just as they eventually came to appreciate Bill Clinton’s core conservatism, Republicans will someday see that Obama was no less conservative."-Bruce Bartlett ☀
