True American


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say 'Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag.


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.


You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Someone needs to send this to Barack Hussein Obama! We try so hard to keep muslims out, and here we are letting one in as President (maybe) WTF?!?!? Oh, i'm sorry a Radical Muslim!!!!
Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born
in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white Athiest from
Wichita , Kansas .
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii . When Obama was two
years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya . His
mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia .
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia . Obama
attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent two years in a
Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
quick to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also
attended Catholic school.'
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that
that he is not a radical.
Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this
influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned
to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct
influence over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school
in Jakarta .
Wahabism is the RADICAL ISLAMIC teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since
it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major
public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined
the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim
background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he
DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegience nor
will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands
over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential
candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the
President of the United States , one of their own!!!!
Would you want this man leading
our country?...... NOT ME!!!

Senator Obama is NOT A MUSLIM!!!!!! Get this through your narrow-minded, jingoisitc, uneducated heads. This "story" has been proven false again and again, but you bringing this up just proves how crap, not cream, truly rises to the top of discussions.

You can disagree with his policies. You can disagree with his ideas. You can disagree with his credentials. However, you can NOT attempt to have a "debate" and use this drivel as your argument.

In all honesty, this is a backward, Joe six-pack, Fox News indoctrinated approach. As is the emphasis on his middle name. Very petty and childish.

Debate real, honest, true issues, or stay quiet. Silence would make you seem smarter and more informed.

Grow up.

I actually think this part
"You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say 'Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival"
should read something like
"You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: you don't care how someone wishes you glad tidings, just so long as they do."

The little screed "Countrygirl" offered up re "Obama is a Muslim" is utterly false, and has been flagged for some time as a particularly idiotic piece of SPAM that doofuses like to forward to each other.

countrygirl: Way to go, not letting things like reason, facts, and truth get in the way of your judgments.


Well said Dan.

You might be a true American if you think for yourself, don't disparage other people's religious beliefs, and are smart enough to figure out that the nonsense posted above about Barack Obama is totally incorrect. Give me a break--if you are so gullible as to believe that Obama is a radical Mulslim because his middle name is "Hussein," then you should not be voting in something as important as a presidential election. Real Americans don't let the Karl Rove's of the world tell them what to think. Go out and do a little basic research, countrygirl, and you will find that this has been totally discredited, and not just by "the mainstream media" that the wackos seem to fear so much. You are smarter than to believe this nonsense. Don't vote for Obama if you don't like his actual policies (but how about looking them up, first?), don't keep spreading dumb lies.

YOU MIGHT BE THE ONLY TRUE AMERICAN if your ancestors were murdered by English colonists, who stole your land and stuck you on tiny reservations.

I dont care if this info is alittle twisted. I dont care what this Obama person promisies to do.
But I do know it takes alotta gull to run for Pres. with a name like that. Most any muslim name brings bad memories and horrors to most of the world let alone the US. When I first heard people talk I thought they said Osama. I think the name alone will bring us nothing but sadness and shame.How many of those radical muslims working little gas marts in and around our neighborhods did they catch a few months back? How many got away? They spoke really good english, you'd never quessed they worked for that terrorist group. Funny how fast those same stores reopened with the same nationality of people.Even stranger how they dont hire any other nationality...kinda like their predjudice or something.
