  Dr-Bunking Anti-Obama Emails

  A lot of de-bunking of Obama needs to occur, and emails are a good venue for doing so,since the mainstream media is virtually an appendage of the Obama campaign.

  However, those emails should be completely factual, free of the kinds of mistakes and misinformation the article refers to. The reason is that a statement can be 95 per cent accurate and have its validity destroyed by a couple misstatements. And we know the Obama media will take the false statements and try to discredit the truth with them.

  I'm particularly upset by the statement that "Obama is a muslim". The facts seem to be that his father and step-father were muslims and he attended a muslim school for a short hime in Indonesia, which is a long way from claiming he is or even was a muslim. The problem is that Obama's campaign apparently wants to hide the facts but deny the lie. Better the whole truth--unless the truth doesn't help Obama get elected.

  I read Mrs. Obama's paper online, and I can't say I was impressed by it. My only real impression about it was that it was race-oriented, which is fine by me. People naturally gravitate to their own, ethnically, economically, and socially.

  And nothing should interfere in such natural propensities--especially the government and courts. What is natural is the hallmark of any free society. Only authoritarian states would attempt to force people to associate.
