Website

I am working on setting up a website and invite any and all to come join us at www.y-speak.com . It's pretty much a site to discuss topics like I've posted in here as well as any you would like to start or create. Need a place to discuss something in particular? Let me know and I'll set up a forum just for you (you will be able to moderate it as well).

With that being said, I'm looking for moderators for the board in general as well. And if you have any pointers, drop by www.y-speak.com and offer them up, or offer any advice here.

Thanks.

Muslim Obama? YES. Because I was asked to ...

"Re Muslim. (1) prove it; (2) if he were, he still would have been born in Hawaii."

Nice statement. Require a qualifier, then if qualified, say basically, "who cares". To address the "if he were", isn't so nice and clean. The "if he were" would go a long way in showing who this man really is. You see, if he were Muslim, it would open up the entire Koranic teachings of Islam. Within those teachings are some very nasty things.... things that aren't in the best interest of THIS country, Americans or the freedom loving world. As for the Hawaii issue, it's discussed elsewhere.

Onto showing Obama as ... Muslim.

First of all, his OWN people  (the Obama Campaign) said it when, on Jan 24th 2007, they issued the following statement - "to be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim....". Then on March 14th, issued the following statement (correcting the previous), "Obama has never been a PRACTICING Muslim...". Showing that they had to clarify the difference -- the statement stands, he was/is Muslim. Yet, even the "practicing Muslim" statement is FALSE, when you look to what he and others  (who knew him) had to say about his past....

Such as, his sister Maya with her statement that, "my whole family was Muslim and most of the people I knew were Muslim" (Barack, being her brother would, I imagine fall into that "whole family" category). Then you have Barack himself claiming, in "Dreams From My Father", his recounting of studying the Koran in a public Muslim school. The principle from 1971 to 1989, Tine Hahiyari, says that Obama studied "mengaji". Mengaji is the study of the Koran in the Arabic language, it is a form of study that is held in high regard and is above and beyond "normal" studies.

Rony Amiris, classmate of Barack, said that he was a very devout Muslim. He is quoted as saying, "...Barry was quite religious in Islam... if he was wearing a sarong, he looked funny...". Another classmate, Emirsyah Satar, is quoted as saying, "... he was often in the prayer room wearing a sarong... " .

Now, after learning the above, when Obama says the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on earth" (as he did on Feb 27th 2007), makes you think a bit, doesn't it? Then, when he calls Israel an occupier, makes you think, doesn't it? When he backs Iran's election and shuts off funding for those Iranians who are imprisoned and killed for protesting those elections, makes you think doesn't it? When he claims that America is not a Christian nation, makes you think doesn't it? When he constantly apologizes to Muslim nations on America's behalf, makes you think doesn't it?

When he won't release his records, makes you think doesn't it?

Is Obama a Muslim. Yes. If you hold to the view that "he was, but isn't anymore", remember what Islam teaches about apostasy. If you convert from Islam to another religion, you are to be shunned, or killed (which, looking at the whole picture, when's the last time you heard about a "shunning"?). If Obama is no longer a Muslim, why is he welcomed to Muslim nations? Shouldn't they, at the very least, shun him?

Are you kidding me?!

This is a real post from a real board. I haven't placed any names because, well, what would the point be? Chances are someone knows somebody that fits this any way....

"What is it with the labor department.I go there to look for a job (I have my ged) and all they offer is minimum wage jobs. How am I supposed to support myself and my four kids on minimum wage? None of my kids daddies pay any child support.Three are doing time in prison.My boyfriend can't get a job because he has a hurt back.Even if his back wasn't hurt no one will hire a convicted felon (this was over 2 yearsago).I have been waiting for my disability to come through for over a year.I have sugar and weight problems.So all 6 of us live off my government check for my kids and food stamps.They won't even let you buy cigarettes with the stamps.IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE."

I don't even know where to start on this. This is how people actually feel. The whole well-fare system is broke and the only thing we can count on the government to do ('specially with Obama in the house) is to funnel even more taxes to take care of dead beats like this. This "lady" has four children, and all four have a different dad. Good thing she stopped there, since the government won't pay for a fifth child... gee, what luck she only had four. This is what people use the system for - to pay for the kids they have while shacking up/hooking up and then they turn around and suddenly have a"medical" problem and have to suck even more money out of the system because they can't work. People like this should be on some kind of government "work program". If they aren't going to look for a job or can't, then the government should put them to work (at least then they'd be doing something beneficial instead of just drinking and partying on the weekends).

When did the system set up to help folks get back on their feet turn into a "I'm owed this. They owe me" system?!?
