1928. 1960. 2008

In Untruths About Obama, Echoes of a Distant Time

the 2008 election wasn't the first time a presidential candidate's religion became a hot topic of controversy. nor was it in 1960 when jfk was running for president. it started with al smith in the 1928 election. and it makes sense. the best way to get people to do what you want them to do is to scare them into doing it. the republicans used the idea that al smith was going to have a foreign man (the pope) telling him how to run the country. at that time, people still had the hatred toward catholics because of the irish influx. in just the same way, people are still scared of the muslim community. many think they are all terrorists, which is so far from the truth. and calling obama a muslim insinuates much more than should be. he came out to say that he is in fact a christian. he did not get swore into office with the koran, but rather the bible. the fact that he grew up in an islamic background and lost his way in life only to find God, makes it seem like he is the real deal, not just christian for kicks and giggles.

in the video, jfk is just genius. he says everything that needs to be said. it's not the religion, it's the man. it's not worth fighting a man over what church and which religion he believes in, for that is a struggle man is fighting in his soul. it is worth knowing the truth and holding onto it.
