OBAMA still isn't a Muslim!!

CNN’s Vause stated “I came here to Obama’s elementary school in Jakarta looking for what some are calling an Islamic madrassa ... like the ones that teach hate and violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan. … I've been to those madrassa's in Pakistan ... this school is nothing like that.  CNN interviewed the school's deputy headmaster, Hardi Priyono, who said: "This is a public school. We don't focus on religion."

Obama’s side has issued press releases saying the claims of these and other stories are completely false.  Stories in the Washington Post, The L. A. Times and the Chicago Tribune has also investigated these claims and found them to be baseless.

Obama’s childhood in Indonesia is nothing he has ever tried to hide.  He documents this in his own book “Dreams from My Father.”

Here are a few other false claims that have been circulating in my e-mails since Obama decided to run for president.

False: Obama was sworn into office using the Koran instead of the Bible. This e-mail states:  "when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran" When Obama was sworn into office in the U.S. Senate, he used his own Bible.  This claim confuses Obama with House member Keith Ellison who is Muslim and did use a Koran to be sworn in.

False: Obama doesn’t say the pledge nor will he show any reverence for our flag" and that "while others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches." These e-mails usually come with a photo that was taken during a "steak-fry" for Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa on Sept. 16, 2007. What is pictured is the singing of the national anthem, not a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. For proof, there is a video taken by ABC News during the event. There is no requirement to hold your hand over your heart for the National Anthem.

By going on the internet you can usually disprove any of these lies with less trouble than it takes to forward them to all your contacts.  I find it very disappointing that when you have a  candidate that you can’t find any real faults with, that you have to lie to try and discourage people from voting for him.

Just remember a vote for McCain come November means 100 years in Iraq, more big business control of congress, and more of the same ole same ole in Washington.  It is time to sweep out the old and bring in the new, Democrat and Republican alike.

Peace and Liberty through intelligence, strength, and integrity.
