59. No Argument There... I Always Argue That MOST Wars Have "Religion"
connected to them in some way! That may seem racist too, but I tend to believe it. But do I think what WE did in Iraq was justified? HELL NO! But then, upon reflection from what "little' I actually know about WWII, I don't think I would have agreed with Truman for dropping BOMBS! That's just me!

And I don't know WHY "people" or "humans" for that matter keep fighting and killing. I was simply pointing out, having lived in the south for most of my life... there are some seriously screwed up people, who despite their "ignorance" feel that the FEAR The Idiot, Decider generated is still GREAT and HISTORY will prove it! And because of what he and his cohorts have perpetrated, no matter WHAT evidence you present will continue to believe that Obama is a Muslim!

It's NOT true and I can say it til the cows come home... and you may hear it all the time where you live, I don't know! I was born in PA, but because my father was in the military, I ended up in the south since I was 11 years old! But are Northeastern states and Western states more liberal that where I live?? Some states are changing, and Florida has many transplants for sure... still when you check out which states vote a certain way Or states who are able to "fix" the system tend to be more conservative... will they all flip and decide Democrats are better? I STILL get emails from people I went to school with in Texas talking about what BILL CLINTON did!

Some things are ingrained, and I'll bet that more people in the south BELIEVE Obama is a Muslim! We shall see how it plays out... so don't attack me for what I happen to see "out in the open" and not hiding behind closed doors! And then ask yourself why all of a sudden there is a rash of Ministers who seem to want to denigrate Obama. Do they think he's an Uncle Tom?? I DON'T know!

I was raised to be inclusive and to think as many Indians do... DON'T judge until you walk a mile in another shoes! And THAT'S UNIVERSAL for me!

I could go on and on about prejudice and idiotic beliefs people have, but historically it seems the south has NEVER recovered from the loss of the Civil War! Obnoxious as the day is long... still it's there. It would be better if those in power had the good sense not to inflame them, but stop and think for a moment about the ratio of blacks elected in the south to the ratio of those elsewhere. And it has improved since the marches, but when dumb-f--ks add the word "muslim" into the mix... Go figure! I could be totally wrong, it would be nice if I were... we shall see!

I'm not one of those who spread the shit... and I correct any who spew it, even though I actually support Edwards. It's wrong when others ban together and make any ethnic group outcasts.

It's very late down here... I'm going to bed. If I'm wrong it will be proven and that WILL make me happy... not for Obama, but for humanity!
