<p>Keep working guys, and post here if you have something random to say. Increase the posts!</p>
<p>yaaaaaaay?</p>
<p>Cafe doesn't let your post count go up, so post all your discussion questions here.</p>
<p>There you go. Hmmm...anything valuable to say? Well, I personally think the New Yorker's Obama cover was funny (that is to say, I got the point). Anyone care to pipe in?</p>
<p>I also thought it was pretty funny. I don't know why Obama's campaign is whining so much about this cover. It is satirizing how ignorant conservatives are calling him a Muslim.</p>
<p>He's really complaining wayyy too much about false rumors. There's something called the First Amendment, liberal.</p>
<p>IMO, the best way to go is to go the moderate path.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, fellow Moderates!</p>
<p>Exactly. I'm independent, too. I would vote for the lesser of the two evils (it always resorts to two evils in politics).</p>
<p>Certain quizzes show I lean slightly conservative because of my vehement anti gun control stance.</p>
<p>Well, sure, free speech is perfectly valid and all, but when 12% in a large sample of registered voters say they believe he IS a practicing Muslim (CNN), that will potentially make a dent in one's progress, since our country's a giant vat of xenophobia right now. </p>
<p>I'd say he has a right to complain about the Muslim rumors.</p>
<p>^ If I were him, I would sue someone. I don't know who...Maybe Hilary...she has had it coming for a long time.</p>
<p>He has a right to complain about Muslim rumors, but I don't think he should complain about a New Yorker cover. Between the front and back cover is an article that proves the Muslim rumors false and shows that Obama is anything but a radical Muslim.</p>
<p>I'd still vote for McCain, but that's because he's slightly better qualified than Obama.</p>
<p>You know it's sad when 12% of the country believes that he's Muslim... what's even sadder is that religion matters at all when it comes to things like this.<br>
In all honesty, so what if he was?</p>
<p>If religion didn't matter, would you vote for a theistic Satanist or a senior Scientologist?</p>
<p>And if he was Muslim, at least Islam is a respectable, major religion. If he puts religion aside for politics, it doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>I couldn't stop laughing for like five minutes after seeing the cover.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, in our Judeo-Christian dominated society, those who align themselves with any religion outside of the mainstream are very rarely taken seriously at the higher levels of politics. Ugh :rolleyes:</p>
<p>what do satanists do anyways.
do they just go around and try to look evil and burn themselves?</p>

From my vague skimming in wikipedia last month or so, I'm pretty sure they consider Satan as a more important historical figure in which they get their beliefs and values from or some sort...</p>
<p>Do post counts mean anything? Uh, I don't think so, at least I don't care what my post count is.</p>
<p>Theistic Satanists are those who seriously worship Satan and do some weird ceremonies around pentagram circles called black masses. They believe that the Christian God exists, but they choose to worship Satan. Glen Benton (bassist/vocalist for Deicide) is a theistic Satanist. I would never vote for one of them as president.</p>
<p>As for senior Scientologists, they're the ones running a destructive cult. I seriously doubt they actually believe in Scientologist teachings.</p>
<p>^ I know, I think they think that it is a fad to be a scientologist, becasue every one knows ~obnoxious Valley Girl Accent~ "it is like all the rage".</p>
