[Mishmash] Geico Gecko

[Fred Atkinson]

    It reminds me of Darryl Worley's song (Have You Forgotten) when you say that, doesn't it?

  I've always thought people should look at video of 9/11 every day, and it should be forced to follow each news report about things like "those poor souls in Guantanamo".

  Or maybe they should just talk to someone who lost relatives or friends that day.

          fred - i'm thinking there is a HUGE portion of the population who no longer remember or care about 9/11.  are we not wanting our troops out of the middle east no matter what the consequences?  are we not wanting the terrorists at guantanamo to be treated to the rights of ordinary american criminals?  are we not bending over backwards to be politically correct to all muslims?  are we not blaming america for all the bad feelings others might have for us?  give me a break - this country mourned and remembered 9/11 for about 2 weeks.  the attention span of this country is about 3 days.  patriotism is a thing of the past i'm afraid...................................or for a couple days after they attack us again on our soil.

              I just don't believe that this country is ready to elect someone with Muslim ties, in view of Muslim ties to 9/11.

                i really don't believe that i am defending osamabama - but you have a couple things wrong.  he WAS muslim - his father is muslim and he did attend a madras (sp?) until i think the 4th or 6th grade when he moved to hawaii with his mother.  he then or sometime later converted to christianity.  he has not changed his name.  now - that is all i'm gonna say to defend him.  there are far more urgent reasons for him to not be president than his muslim background - but i must say, i don't want anyone in the white house who even has a  small amount muslim background.

                I know I shouldn't feel this way, but even with a border separating us, I find the thought of a muslim in the White House very disturbing.  Also, did I not read somewhere in the mists of time that Obama had originally been Christian and had abandoned his given names to take a name in keeping with his muslim faith?  On the evening news yesterday he said that his father is/was from Kenya where muslims are strong.  Years ago I wouldn't have given any of this a second thought now it causes me great concern.
