Facts don't convince people. It's better to appeal to people's sense of tribal unity.

As usual the right wing sucks up all the lies they have depended on for decades.

Never has any group spread more lies or insisted on them being truth. For Obama to beat the lying group of right wing/GOP and accomplish what he has, will make him recognized as on of our strongest presidents.

The right wings/GOP lies have put an orange cyst into power and yet you still fall back and spread your slander to divert from the current imbecile in office.

Contradicting these lies could use up weeks of time and endless computer pages.. It is safe to say that 90% or more of what you call facts are nothing but lies. Proved again and again..

Just for the moment, I post part of only one of many replies to the Muslim lie believed by only the right wing fools..



Obama, Feb. 5, 2009: I was not raised in a particularly religious household. I had a father who was born a Muslim but became an atheist, grandparents who were non-practicing Methodists and Baptists, and a mother who was skeptical of organized religion, even as she was the kindest, most spiritual person I’ve ever known. She was the one who taught me as a child to love, and to understand, and to do unto others as I would want done.

I didn’t become a Christian until many years later, when I moved to the South Side of Chicago after college. It happened not because of indoctrination or a sudden revelation, but because I spent month after month working with church folks who simply wanted to help neighbors who were down on their luck — no matter what they looked like, or where they came from, or who they prayed to. It was on those streets, in those neighborhoods, that I first heard God’s spirit beckon me. It was there that I felt called to a higher purpose — His purpose.

And Obama has talked about his faith annually at the White House Easter Prayer Breakfast.
None of that has swayed those who continue to wrongly believe that Obama is not a Christian, but also that he is a Muslim. His middle name is “Hussein” after all.
A YouTube video titled “Obama Admits He Is A Muslim” has been viewed nearly 17 million times since April 2009. But it’s totally bogus and the result of deceptive editing.
For example, when Obama says “I am one of them,” he doesn’t mean that he is a Muslim. He was talking about being like others who either have Muslim relatives or have lived in countries with large Muslim populations. At other times, the video edits out the words “I’m a Christian” and “my Christian faith” from Obama’s quotes.
Truth on the Cutting Room Floor, Dec. 4, 2009
Obama also didn’t attend a radical “Wahabi” school in Indonesia, as a false viral email claimed. That rumor originated with an inaccurate 2007 Insight Magazine article that said Obama “was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage.” CNN interviewed the school’s deputy headmaster, Hardi Priyono, who said: “This is a public school. We don’t focus on religion.”
That same viral email also claimed that Obama was sworn in as a U.S. senator using a Koran. Wrong. Obama reportedly used his own Bible during his swearing-in ceremony in 2005. It was Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress, who used a Koran for his own ceremony in 2007.

Year after year, concerned readers asked us if Obama had canceled the National Day of Prayer. Our answer was always no. The false rumor started in 2009 when Obama didn’t hold a public service in the White House as George W. Bush had done as president. However, Obama issued a National Day of Prayer proclamation in 2009 and every year after. The National Day of Prayer Task Force has also debunked the cancellation claim.
Prayer Day Still Not Cancelled, May 5, 2016
The Viral Spiral of 2010, Dec. 21, 2010
Not only did viral rumors claim that Obama canceled the National Day of Prayer, they also incorrectly faulted Obama for allowing a Muslim prayer event to take place on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. The permit for the event in September 2009 was issued by the U.S. Capitol Police, not the White House. Obama’s only connection to the event was that its chief organizer, Hassen Abdellah, said that he was inspired by the president’s inaugural address in January 2009 and a speech Obama gave in June that year.
Muslim Prayer Day Sept. 25, Sept. 21, 2009
And Obama didn’t issue a policy in 2009 preventing an Army veteran from speaking at a faith-based event, as an email claimed. The event in question was a fundraiser and had nothing to do with religion. A previously existing policy prohibited the veteran from participating in the fundraiser in an official capacity.
New Army Policy Against ‘Faith-Based’ Events?, June 10, 2009
Another viral email expressed outrage at the Obama administration for using “tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world.” But the State Department’s program to preserve overseas cultural landmarks started funding projects under President Bush in 2001. And the program funds the rebuilding of historic churches and temples, too.
Funding Mosques Overseas, March 10, 2011
Obama also didn’t write that “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction” in his 2006 book, “The Audacity of Hope.” We looked through the book and found that Obama actually said that he would stand with American immigrants from Pakistan or Arab countries should they be faced with something like the forced detention of Japanese American families in World War II.
Obama’s ‘Dreams of My Father,’ June 3, 2008
And Obama didn’t exempt Muslims from having to purchase health insurance as required by the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Nor does Obama’s health care law mention the word “dhimmitude,” which is an academic concept, not a tenet of Muslim faith.
‘Dhimmitude’ and the Muslim Exemption, May 10, 2010
Another viral email misquoted Obama as saying that the U.S. is “no longer a Christian nation.” What he actually said was that “whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation — at least, not just.” Obama stumbled when he delivered the quote live, but his prepared remarks show that he had intended to say that “we are no longer just a Christian nation,” but a nation of many faiths.
Obama and the ‘Christian Nation’ Quote, Aug. 26, 2008
Yet another viral email wrongly accused Obama of creating a postage stamp commemorating the Muslim holidays Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. But Obama had nothing to do with the stamp, which was originally announced in 2001 when Bush was president. The stamp has been reissued in different designs several times whenever the postage rate has increased.
Muslim Stamp, Sept. 24, 2009
And while we’re on holidays, Obama’s White House never stopped referring to the “White House Christmas Tree” as just that. The zombie claim about the White House “holiday tree” was first proved wrong in 2009, but has circulated online annually during the holiday season.
‘Holiday Tree’ Hooey, Oct. 14, 2009
We Repeat, Still a Christmas Tree, Nov. 10, 2011

You truly are a useful idiot. Obastard will be remembered as the most corrupt and destructive in US history. His beloved legacy is unraveling as indictments are issued to Coney and Lynch. The rats will take the fifth, or squeal like a pig.

I love it. All these stupid leftists insisting Obama isn't a Muslim when the current leftist lie, umm, doctrine clearly states that ISIS does not represent Islam. I guess they all forgot that. Possibly because they didn't consult with their handlers prior to posting.

It's tough for anybody to keep up when their entire philosophy is based on deceit, lies and theft. It's even tougher when their intellect is as limited as is required to believe in leftism.

I wonder how many of them will now feel the need to go out and sucker-punch or shoot a conservative?

Voice,

When has the right ever made any claim that ISIS and the huge majority of Muslim were any different..

The right wants all Muslim destroyed, that is repeated every day multiple times just on OPP.

we on the left have said time and again that the majority of Islam condemns ISIS and the other terrorist groups..

The right wing insists that all of Islam should be destroyed..


How in the world do you connect all that with Obama not being a Muslim????

You seem confused as to who is being investigated..

Do you know who trump is???

He is the one under investigation.. Gowdy should be added and may one day get to that point..

Comey, who I think you were trying to name in your post is not and see nothing of the kind in the future..

Lynch was fired by Obama and then he told trump not to hire him..

Of course trump did and we see how well that worked out..

Voice, You betray your OPP name. This is not a reasonable position. Obama was no Muslim. You need to drop your UNREASONABLE, and false remarks. Obama may be criticized for many things, but being a Muslim isn't one of them. His Pastor was a Protestant Christian, and more of a religious nut than most Muslims. He had nothing good to say about whites especially Jews, but he was a Christian.


well if obumer or his so called Christian teacher had nothing good to say about whites and especially Jews , then neither one of them is a true Christian. this is a teacher bound for hell. to speak against the horrible things " some" whites did to the black people that were slaves , is one thing but to condem the entire white race is just racisum . then to speak out against the Jewish people is just buying a ticket on the hell bound train , one way ,no return no refund. it was all a disguise . IF per chance obumer was a Christian? why did he allow all of those Christians die by the hands of isis , and did NOTHING until the muslime people were trapped on the side of that mountain before getting involved to save those poor muslimes . obumer is NOT a Christian. quit living in your little fantasy world. obumer WAS NOT a good president . he was the FIRST black president . true and factual . but NOT a good one.

That would be Loretta lynch and she is under investigation. Where have you been? Watching CNN? And your investigation of President Trump has been on going for almost a year, with no evidence as yet. Even CNN has been caught by Veratas saying it's a big nothing burger, they pursue it for ratings...only.

Maybe you should wake up comrade. Communism will not be coming for at least 8 years.

However, when the shooting starts, traitors will be hunted and exterminated. Perhaps you should start packing for travel to Cuba, while you still can comrade.

Just as a person born of a Jewish woman is a Jew, a person born of a Muslim mother or a Muslim father is a Muslim. Fact.

It is Islamic law and practice. Fact.

Obama's step father was also a Muslim and in order to have Barry attend the schools in Indonesia he had to be a citizen and a Muslim. Fact.

If Obama wanted to renounce his Muslim faith he would then become an apostate and would be liable to death from his fellow Muslims. Fact.

The rev Wright was asked why he lets Muslims attend his church without forcing them to become Christian and he said he welcomes everyone and does not insist or even encourage them to change. There is no proof that Obama was ever baptized as a Christian. Fact.

Fact: As an American Obama was free to choose any religion he wanted to practice. Or none.

Fact: By your reasoning, the US is under Sharia law because you seem to thing it applies to the former President.

Fact: You are wrong.

But nice try.

If you have such a fear of communism, you should like Soros, he has been the number 1 world leader in the fight against communism..

Do you have a link pertaining to the Lynch investigation?

the trump investigation is only getting more intensive. The latest will start after the 4th..

But why the rush? the conservatives proved it is OK to use years and millions of dollars to have 9 investigations on a single subject.

what is Veratas?? You seem to give far to much credit to your own wishs and dreams rather then the reality of the world..


No, I do not watch CNN...

You right wing guys have been promising to start shooting for years. Yet only political victim has been a little woman in Arizona..... Mrs, Giffords

even during our revolution it was you conservatives who ran to Canada or back to England..

Only progress ever made in this nation is due to Progressives,as their name imply s..

Only other event that fits with you guys is the guy who shot 5 BLM demonstrators in Minneapolis..

Now he is doing 15 years in the slammer..

So---go for it, show some balls for a change..
