Not trying to incite a riot, just some food for thought. ??? I do post motorcycle stuff frequently, so I figure I can slide this zinger in there. VIDEO: Is Barack Obama really a Saudi/Muslim 'plant' in the White House ? Play before this is removed! This just broke today. (Sat. 21st)  It's big. Share quickly as it YouTube may scrub it.

Oh....I am sure on his inauguration it was just a Slip up when he fumbled the Oath when trying to put his hand on the Bible to Defend the Constitution, that always happens to Presidents from Harvard, His first Back room deal when he supposedly re did it

Its amazing to me how if yo udont strongly denounce information like this you are "nutz" a "tinfoil hatter" Its a much bigger leap of faith to say that regardless of all the evidence, this guy is a great misunderstood American Patriot. I think anyone that can over look the following and more are the "tinfoil people"
There are so many astounding anomolies surrounding this "president" NO ONE can be sure what to believe. About the only thing I believe now concerning Obama, is that whatever I hear coming from Whitehouse sources is probably a lie.
After just these things......this government cannot be on our side, so why not the Saudis.......
-No real investigation into voting intimidation/voting fraud -Not one word of multiple criminal election tamperings -blatant disregard of the constitution multiple ways with just the healthcare bill -how bout just the way bills get done with this guy...thousands of pages vote NOW sign it THEN read it?????? -Undermine our own oil production at a time when we have the real possibility of reducing dependency on Arab oil -support for the victory mosque -Obamas many many criminal and radical associations....gimme a break -cap and trade! Just that alone as it ties into the fraud of global warming and global wealth redistribution is enough to make my point
The list is incredibly long and its not good........is he a Saudi plant? I can tell you I would not be shocked if I find out he is

I'd like to see the actual, undoctored video of Obama talking about the "commandment" to deceive and lie to the Christians." If the documentation exists, I could be convinced. Until the documentation is verified, I don't have a tinfoil hat, and I'm trying to be open minded. After all, The proof of the pudding is in the eating," and "... by their fruits shall ye know them."
Scanner, it seems pretty clear to me that you've been drinking the Obama Kool-aid... can you overdose on that stuff? Some 15 to 50 percent of Americans will support Obama NO MATTER WHAT. Scanner, after reading your posts, I'm convinced that you are ensconced within that demographic. Not judging, just observing... trying to be open-minded. If I'm wrong, Scanner, convince me. (us)

Scanner, while you are right about the mistake at the inauguration. It was the Chief Justice's fault. You are about the rudest person on the forums. I say about, because that coveted spot belongs to Strong Eagle IMHO. However, you are running a close second. So, if being an ass is what your after... Well Done!

Fishstix - look at the video. He graciously helped when the moron chief justice Roberts screwed it up. But again, that's just facts, and who cares about them, right  Reality - it's nice here, come visit sometime! Steppdaddy you gonna make me ssssttart studerin again if yy you dddd...................don.t staaaarrrrrttttt start reading your Liberal news...President Barack Obama took the oath of office for a second time Wednesday night, a precautionary measure taken the day after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts flubbed the oath on the Capitol steps. Roberts came down to the White House and put on his black robe on Obama's first full day in office for an unprecedented do-over at 7:35 in the Map Room Obama joked about the turn of events. "We decided it was so much fun . . . " he said while awaiting Roberts. When the Chief Justice asked if Obama was ready, the president cracked: "I am, and we're going to do it very slowly." This time, the recitation jibed perfectly with the prescribed oath and took 25 seconds. Obama raised his right hand and kept his left at his side. There was no Bible, Lincoln or otherwise."All right." Obama said afterward to the reporter assigned to record the event. "The bad news for the pool is there's 12 more balls." Actually, Obama won't be donning white tie again — he's heading to a staff "thank you" party at the Washington Armory. And he'll go as, emphatically, absolutely postively, the duly elected and inagurated President of the United States. "We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday," said White House Counsel Greg Craig in a statement issued by new administration. "But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time." Roberts said the word "faithfully" in the wrong place of the oath, a mistake that Obama caught and led to a momentary bit of awkwardness in an otherwise grand ceremony. The re-inauguration came just a few hours after Vice President Joe Biden mocked Roberts for his misstep. “My memory is not as good as Justice Roberts,” Biden said at the swearing in of White House staffers Wednesday afternoon. The staffers in the room laughed, but Obama stood stone faced and visibly annoyed. Mommy told me always use Polital or CNN or steppdady gets real mad like all his Angry liberal friends http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17778.html

Stepdaddy your missing the point as usual, Obama had NO intentions of swearing in with his hand on the Bible, Maybe the Quran would be more comfortable for his Religion. You obviously have no Clue of Mans convictions for his faith.

Ohhh, I see now....he used his alien mind control to make Roberts screw it up so he could re-do without a bible. I hadn't thought of that. But...if he's not Christian... why is he afraid to use a bible? And during the campaign, why were all the wingers upset that he spent 20 years at a church with a pastor they didn't approve of?? Oh I know, that 20 years at a Christian church was part of the "set-up" - like those birth announcements in Hawaii the day he was born....all a set-up.....I see....

For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude+1&version=NIV

That would be in keeping with the impression you're giving me -- quick to respond by defending Obama without even finding out what's on the video or what the controversy is.  Wouldn't want you to waste your time actually UNDERSTANDING the issues. Just go ahead and respond. It's more fun that way!

I'm not "defending Obama." There is nothing to defend There is no controversy. Only whackos making a video. There has always been a lunatic fringe, the internet just gives them a bigger stage and more access to others gullible enough to join them. And there are always those with a financial or political stake in helping them get onstage.

I was mistaken, it wasn't Obama in the video talking about the "...commandment in Islam to decieve the infidel, to lie..." It was "Ravi," the "star" of the video clip.
But now that the issue has been raised, can anyone provide documentation (like, from the Quran) to verify that the above "commandment" is as alleged?
Again, I haven't seen documentation (like from the Quran), and I'm willing to consider documentation that either supports or debunks the alleged "commandment in Islam."

I DID find THIS in the Quran: 2:62 (and also 5:69) VERILY, those who have attained to faith [in this writ], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians – all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds – shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve Here's a link to several translations, all of which seem to concur: http://www.islamawakened.com/Quran/2/62/default.htm I'm having a little trouble reconciling this verse, DOCUMENTED to be from the Quran with the apparent "policy" and practice of "Radical Muslims" that "those who have attained to faith " other than Muslim/Islam are to be killed as "infidels." The Quran seems pretty clear to me, but what do I really know? Anyone here wanna explain this to me? Anyone? Buehler?

What really blows me a way is that more people voted for obama, then voted for mccaine. And now that he’s in office, everyone doesn’t like him!! TOO LATE NOW!! Should have thought of all this earlier!! It’s not like it was a close race like gore/bush.
Now, if the democrats have a land slide reelection this fall, then there’s something fishy going on, but until then, I’m pretty sure the system will work.
If you can’t stand obama, just make sure you vote this November. That’s the way our American system works.

Well then, don't you think your constant complaining might just be holding him back from a historic first term achievement??? Have you thought of that? Did you know that Mr. Obama is about to do what no other American President has ever done? Yes, when Mr. Obama was sworn into office his golf handicap was an unimpressive 22! Now, in just 19 short months he's a 6 AND IS LIKELY TO BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO BREAK 80 AT PEBBLE BEACH! But how can he "keep his head in the game" if whiners like YOU are always dogging him???!!! "OHHH Mr. President the illegals are killing us! OOOH Mr. President unemployment in my state is 14% and I haven't worked for over a year!! Mr. President, Mr. President your policies are bankrupting the country!!! Have YOU ever tried to line-up a 30 foot putt with Gov. Bobby Jindal harping about some oil leak thingy??? Huh??

Bezerkers at it again. Can convince themselves that anything is true. World is flat. Moon is made of cheese. Obama is a Muslim. No point in reasoning with Bezerkers. It's a herd instinct. The hell with reality or common sense... both in short supply with the Bezerkers. One can only wonder about the deficiencies in the US educational system that has produced so many Bezerkers.

I was critical of Obama until the above post made me realize I was part of the problem, not the solution. How could I have been so selfish to only consider what the current administrations were doing to my country and not consider the impact my lack of support was having on Barry and his poor family. I'm sorry if I, in any way may have contributed to Michelle not enjoying herself in Spain.

Yeah, way too much vacation for Obama...this makes a total of 48 days since taking office 18 months ago.
But then again, he needs to take almost 3 YEARS off to match Bush's 977 days of vacation during his admin.....

Fight and slay the unbelievers wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war. (Surah IX:5)
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his apostle, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth (i.e. Islam), (even if they are people of the Book), until they pay the tax with willing submission and feel themselves subdued. (Surah IX:29)
Seize them and slay them wherever you find them. (Surah IV:89,91)Am I the only one who sees a direct contradiction in the doctrines presented in these different places in the Quran? If the Quran is supposed to be the inviolable and unchanging "word and will of Allah," then how does a believer (and how should I) resolve these apparent inconsistencies and contradictions? After all, if Allah speaks only the truth, how can these contradictory truths coexist within "holy writ?" I'm asking because I'd really like to be able (or to be taught to be able) to reconcile these apparent contradictions. Anyone wanna enlighten me?

The greatest "culture shock" in the world is to go from the western world (civilization) to the middle east (uncivilized), I had travelled all over europe before getting sent to the middle east during the first gulf war, but nothing that I saw in any of those countries prepared me for the shock. The middle east way of life is so different from any part of the western world that no-one who hasn't experienced their culture first hand can even begin to understand the difference. From a western point of view their culture is backwards and ignorant, from their point of view western culture is evil and corrupt. I don't see anyway that this cultural gap can ever be bridged, add the fact that millions of people in their culture want to destroy ours and the odds become even more unsurmountable. After witnessing up close and personal how they live their lives and practice their religion in their part of the world I came to the following conclusion: Muhammed went out into the desert, smoked some really good dope (maybe peyote), had a rash of hallucinations, came back wrote them all down in a book and started a religion. Right or wrong that's "my story" and I'm sticking to it.

Not wishing to get too deeply involved in this discussion (I sort of have an obligation not to), I do wish to point out just a few items.
The prophet was illiterate. He wrote nothing. The Koran (or Quran) is a collection of his sayings recalled and committed to print after his death.
Islam holds that only the Arabic Quran is accurate and applicable to its beliefs. Confronted with apparent contradictions taken from English translations, the devout muslim will simply reply, "That's not the real Quran."

elraque,.. I'm asking because I'd really like to be able (or to be taught to be able) to reconcile these apparent contradictions. Anyone wanna enlighten me?
The problem is Jesus was perfect and not selfish, His Word cuts like a double edged sword He is the Word of God, and The Word became Flesh and walked among us, Do you know Jesus? have you asked him into your Heart? I was a Atheist until my early 20's had a life threatening experience and dropped to my knees and ask him for help, Most of my friends are dead from my youth, i was told when i was young i would never reach 30...praise God he is real!! I did not trust any Man or religion i only trusted Jesus, and from reading the scriptures for 30 years and many miracles i have witnessed He has shown me He is Lord....you would not believe if i told you some of the signs i have witnessed or have been involved in...But if you want to investigate the eastern Cults here is a start for ya to understand why Grace from Jesus, and love is so important, By Grace we are saved not by works. This is what the Muslims think of the American culture, they my friend have no tolerance for us, And would nuke us in a NY minute... http://www.banneroftruth.co.uk/pages/articles/article_detail.php?68
