• Setting the facts straight

   Okay, I’ve been accused of falseities on things I’ve stated before. I’ve had to stand corrected on a few “facts” and in other cases, I’ve said “BOOYAH” and sited my information.

   Now due to the upcoming presidential election, there is a ton of crap forwards going around bashing the republican and democratic candidates. Most of you are Republicans sending me crap falseties about Barack Obama. I am NOT a fan of the man, but if you’re  going to dislike someone and continue to forward on these emails, you need to be factually accurate. It’s  not Christian to spread rumors and lies, so just be intelligent in what you think and say about the man.

   www.Snopes.com seems to be pro-Obama site, but thus far has been semi balanced on the information they’ve provided.  

  Gotten the letter forwarded from the soldier about Obama’s trip to visit the soldiers and ignored them to instead play basketball? 

  Snopes.com  claims it to be false. However, he did refuse to visit the sick and wounded tent if his camera  and photography crew could not accompany him. Answer here.

  The book of Revelation warns about the anti-christ being a “man of muslim decent, mid fourties with persuasive language whom nations will flock to.”

  False. OH come ON! If you’ve read the book of Revelations, you’ll know it reveals very little aside from  hints and sly prophecies that are hard to pin down ANY specific facts. God won’t just HAND US a brochure of the end times and He certainly didn’t warn us about Obama being any of those things.  Neither Revelations nor Nostradamus came even close to mentioning Barack  being the anti-christ. I don’t like the guy, but that one is just nuts. Answer here.

  Obama  took the American flag off his personal airplane when he did a $500,000 repaint of the outside?

  True, and it befuddles me..

  Before: 

  After:

   This is actually against standard international air traffic laws. But in the most recent  photos taken from multiple angles, there is no American flag. It’s required so that you are easily identified as threat or friend while in airspace and is required by all nations.  The other thing that bothers me is, he took a red white and blue symbol of his name and placed it on the plane instead. Is this what our new flag will look like once he’s in office? Answer here.

  

  Obama took his congressional oath on the Quran?

  False. There *was* another Muslim congressman who did so, but it was not Obama. Answer here.

  Native Americans dubbed Obama “Walking Eagle” at a sit down dinner.

  Funny joke, sure. But it’s false.  The same was passed around about John Kerry and George Bush in  the last campaign. BTW, if you’re unfamiliar with a punch line, they supposedly dubbed him so because “bird too full of sh*t can’t fly. Must walk.” Answer here.

  Seen the picture of Obama during the National Anthem  where he does not place his hand over his heart?

  

  True. There are actually several pictures of Obama in several circumstances where he doesn’t place his hand over his heart for the Pledge of Alliegance or the National Anthem. But lately, several photographs have been ciculating of him WITH his hand on his heart.  I guess he got wise?  Answer here

  Michelle Obama’s college thesis has been made unavailable by Princeton until the day after the election.

  True.  Michelle Obama write her thesis on the differences between white students and African-American students. Princeton, (trying to cover her  from having to face public scrutiny) took the matter off of public records. Funny, we can hear all about Cindy McCain and her good deeds (here) but we can’t  even look at Michelle Obama’s works. Answer here.

  Now I’m not saying McCain and his wife are perfect or even that they were my first choice. I’m also NOT defending Obama. But if you’re going to dislike the man, make sure it’s for a valid reason and not just because he is full of crap thinks he’s the messiah of change.
