The Duck Addage and Obama

[boxcar]

The following was sent to me by a friend in email. And yes, liberals, words have meanings.

Keep this old adage in mind: If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck; have feathers like a duck;
eat like a duck and lay eggs like a duck there is a very high probability that you're a duck!

Mike Gallagher, the 8th most recognized talk radio personality in the country, is heard by over 2.25 million listeners weekly. He compiled and wrote the following essay entitled,

"Obama: It was You."

President Obama:

This is why you didn't go to France to show solidarity against the Muslim terrorists:

* It was you who spoke these words at an Islamic dinner -"I am one of you."

* It was you who on ABC News referenced -"My Muslim faith ."

* It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.

* It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict-"I will stand with the Muslims ."

* It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that -"I am a Muslim ."

* It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi King.

* It was you who sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.

* It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.

* It was you who purposefully omitted - "endowed by our Creator " - from your recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.

* It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ'sSermon On The Mount while repeatedly referring to the 'HOLY' Qur'an.

* It was you who traveled the Islamic world denigrating the United States Of America.

* It was you who instantly threw the support of your administration behind the building of the
Ground Zero Victory mosque overlooking the hallowed crater of the World Trade Center.

* It was you who refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, but hastened to host an
Islamic prayer breakfast at the White House.

* It was you who ordered Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ BEFORE you would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, you have NEVER requested the mosques you have visited to adjust their decor.

* It was you who appointed anti-Christian fanatics to your Czar Corps.

* It was you who appointed rabid Islamists to Homeland Security.

* It was you who said that NASA's "foremost mission" was an outreach to Muslim communities.

* It was you who as an Illinois Senator was the ONLY individual who would speak in favor of infanticide.

* It was you who were the first President not to give a Christmas Greeting from the White House,
and went so far as to hang photos of Chairman Mao on the WH tree.

* It was you who curtailed the military tribunals of all Islamic terrorists.

* It was you who refused to condemn the Ft. Hood killer as an Islamic terrorist.

* It is you who has refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, have submitted Arizona to the UN forinvestigation of hypothetical human-rights abuses.

* It was you who when queried in India refused to acknowledge the true extent of radical global Jihadists, and instead profusely praised Islam in a country that is 82% Hindu and the victim of numerous Islamic terrorists assaults.

* It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.

* It was you who ordered the USPS to honor the MUSLIM holiday with a new commemorative stamp.

* It was you who directed our UK Embassy to conduct outreach to help "empower" the British Muslim community.

* It was you who funded mandatory Arabic language and culture studies in Grammar schools across our country.

* It is you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan.

* It is you who departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal WH religious events.

* It was you who was uncharacteristically quick to join the chorus of the Muslim Brotherhood to depose Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, formerly America's strongest ally inNorth Africa; but, remain muted in your non-response to the Brotherhood led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.

* It was you who appointed your chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian, who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.

* It was you who said this country is not a Christian nation.

QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!

What's the point?

It's obvious that despite saying he is Christian and attending a Christian church for decades, Obama relates to and sympathizes with Muslims over mainstream Christians and Jews. He feels strongly that Islam is unjustifiably criticized in the west. He can call himself whatever he wants. The mainstream press can attack and ridicule people that say otherwise. But he wears his heart on his sleeve and in his words and actions.

QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!

All of this is nonsense, but this in particular I know. I retired from the Post Office in 2005. We were selling stamps celebrating the observance of Eid for several years before that. That Muslim lover George W Bush was president then.

[Tom]

How's about we let the muslims honer their GD holidays and we honor our own. How do you "honor" muslim holiday - burn down your neighbor's house? Kill his goats.

* It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.

It was humanitarian aid and it did not go to Hamas, it went to non governmental agencies.

*

Not a singe penny should have gone anywhere.
Let the muslims take care of their own - they have very rich muslim nations over there - they need no help from us, nor should they get any. Period.


Wassup wit allah - can't take care of his own people?
Needs the help of infidels?

Yeah...but Obama has had a love fest with Islam during his entire administration. Conversely, he hates Christianity. Again...the only reason he attended Wright's BLT church was because that kind of church pushes its political agenda far more than any real theology out of the bible. Obama attended that church strictly for political gain because he would never have been elected as a card-carrying member of some mosque.

And, no, all this is not nonsense. Gallagher is right on the mark.

[Tom]

Amen to that.
I love it when he smashes those watermelons with the sledge hammer, too! :lol:

Yeah, is that the Obama's story that you're buying into hook, line and sinker?

[mostpost]

* It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ's Sermon On The Mount
But who really mocks the Sermon on the Mount?
Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
But conservatives call the poor lazy, blame them for their plight.

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
Sure conservatives mourn for those killed in terrorist attacks, especially if they are Americans. But do conservatives mourn for those living in poverty in Gaza or in American inner cities?

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
But conservative heroes are the rich and powerful.

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied."
Yet conservatives never seem satisfied with justice; always demanding more and more revenge.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy."
Conservatives are not merciful; not merciful to immigrants-legal or illegal-living here, not merciful to gay people, not merciful to people of certain religious affiliations.

Jesus said,“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons[a] of God.
Conservatives are not the peacemakers. They are militarists. Invade this country, invade that country. "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran."

Those are just some examples of how you conservatives mock the Sermon on the Mount.

[Tom]

What was that, the Sermon from the Hump?

[mostpost]

* It was you who said this country is not a Christian nation.
The Founding Fathers agree with Obama, not with you.
John Adams said, “The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”

The first amendment says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
That first line means exactly what it says. Congress is prohibited from establishing any particular religion as the national religion, but the right of the people to practice any religion shall not be prohibited.

On April 11, 1823, Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Adams, "The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. ... But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding...."
Not the words of someone seeking to establish a theocracy.

There is no reference to God or any deity in our Constitution.

In the Declaration of Independence, Only four times is there any reference at all to higher powers — “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” “Supreme Judge of the world,” “their Creator,” and “divine Providence” — and in all four cases the references to a higher power appeal to the idea of inherent human dignity, never implying a role for a god in government.

In the Articles of Confederation, The authors gave no power or authority to religion. And this document is our first glimpse into the separation of church and state, because just as the Articles of Confederation give no authority to religion in civil matters, so too does the document deny any authority of government in matters of faith.

In the US. Constitution, The only reference to religion, found in Article VI, is a negative one: “[N]o religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

at no time is a god ever mentioned in the Federalist Papers. At no time is Christianity every mentioned. Religion is only discussed in the context of keeping matters of faith separate from concerns of governance, and of keeping religion free from government interference.

The words "In God We Trust" were not put on our money until 1861 and were not always on all coins or denominations after that.

The words "Under God" were not added to the pledge until 1954. I have no objection to the words being either on the money or in the Pledge, but don't try to use that to tell me we are a Christian nation.

"Founded ON the Christian religion is not the issue. I'm well aware that the U.S. is not a government-sanctioned religious state. But this nation's religious culture is most assuredly Christian! Anyone with an IQ above his shoe lace size would know that. We are certainly not a Muslim-based culture. And assuredly, not a Jewish one either. There are far more churches in America than there are mosques and temples combined (in 2007 there were 320,000 churches). Therefore, this nation manifests the characteristics of a Christian culture more than any other, notwithstanding another fact that the 21st century church in America is largely apostate -- beginning with yours , Mr. Mosty.

You need help. Perhaps some meds would help? Who is talking about conservatives? And why would you think that all conservatives are born again Christians? There are just as many conservatives who want nothing to do with biblical Christianity as there are liberals.

Hey, Mosty, regarding the the word "God" on the money and in the Pledge, the absence of the term "allah" tells us immediately we're not a Muslim culture. :rolleyes:

* It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.

That is false according to Snopes, Fact Check.org, and the US Government. And several other sources.

[mostpost]

* It was you who purposefully omitted - "endowed by our Creator " - from your recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.
Another lie. There are numerous videos on line of Obama saying those very words when quoting from the Declaration of Independence and only a few where he did not say the words. Forgetting something on a rare occasion is not "Purposefully omitting it."

[mostpost]

* It was you who were the first President not to give a Christmas Greeting from the White House, and went so far as to hang photos of Chairman Mao on the WH tree.
It is possible that there were photos of Chairman Mao on the tree for a time. Barach Obama does not decorate the White House Christmas tree. He is freaking president of the United States. Each year the tree is decorated by different community groups.

Take a look at a picture of a typical WH tree. It is a very large tree with a lot of ornaments. It would be very easy for someone to hang something on their and not have it noticed for a long time. It would be very easy for some right wing wacko to volunteer with a community group just to do such a thing.

Even Allah Pundit from Hot Air things this is much ado about nothing.

Tom's comment about smashing watermelons gets more appropriate the longer this gets. Poor mostie is going to spend the better part of an entire evening debunking a chain email. And worse than that, I'm sitting here looking forward to it.

Oops.

Now comes a study from the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs that demonstrates empirically that PolitiFact.org, one of the nation's leading "fact checkers," finds that Republicans are dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats. "PolitiFact.com has rated Republican claims as false three times as often as Democratic claims during President Obama's second term," the Center said in a release, "despite controversies over Obama administration statements on Benghazi, the IRS and the AP."
