Texsox Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) Heres the thing, why must we have a prayer before the oath is given? Arent we trying to show that many races, creeds and religions are what make up America, and then we do a VERY Christian prayer? f***ing strange. What happened to the seperation of church and state? We have that freedom in America. We can worship and practice our faith. Sadly, in many countries around the world, that is not possible. Either they have a state sponsored religion, or they allow no religion at all. The Constitution protects our religious freedoms from the government state. It would seem that many people here would prefer if the government denied citizens there right to worship in public. I believe the authors of the Constitution sought to protect us from that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I think unity would have been harmed if Obama was the first President to not offer a prayer. It seems we elected someone who has spoke about his faith and the role it has had in his life. His credentials in this area are well known and understood. Plus they seem above reproach. Unlike some candidates, and Presidents, I believe his faith is genuine and not something orchestrated to win voted in certain demographics. To me, it would have been hypocritical if he would then turn away from a long tradition of offering a prayer. I wonder if some do not agree with the petitions placed in the prayer. That would be interesting. I thought the petitions were general enough that Dems and Reps would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone who did not support Obama mocks him by calling him a rock star or the messiah or anything along those lines, it isnt so much because there is a hatred towards the person Obama is, or even the policies and agenda he supports. Its the "love-fest" that has been hovering around him and that has been perpetuated by a lot of the MSM and the drooling, in your face support he has been getting everywhere you go. I signed on to facebook an hour or so ago and saw in the newsfeed probably 15-20 of my friends from college with status's like "Obama is here", "Change, change, change!", "We are saved"....i mean I get it, your guy won, but it is just ridiculous. Some of my friends truly believe he is going to fix every problem they have like a magician. I dont remember anywhere near any of this when GWB was elected the first time (its totally understandable why we never saw it the second time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Obama to be very likable, I'm going to give him a chance and see how he goes, I am going to hope he does well, and this country NEEDS him to do well. However, i can't get myself to get fully gung ho happy about Obama being President because the MSM as well as Obama's general supporters are so stupid, so obnoxious, and so expecting miracles, that it's just sickening and hard to stomach. I actually feel kind of bad for Obama, he is expected to be the 2nd coming of Christ by his die hard supporters, and even if he does what somebody like me would consider a fantastic job, I think a lot of his suppoters will be let down to a certain degree.

Bolded is ridiculous. His ultra-rabid supporters are like that, of course. And I think we've all seen the reels of some of the ultra-conservative McCain/Palin supporters as well, who are similarly ignorant. To lump Obama's "general" supporters in like that is just completely innacurate. Obama is inspiring to many, like him or not. So naturally, he will create more of those gung-ho types than other candidates. Further, those qualities ALSO brought a lot of new voters to the polls. But to say that the wingers in his stable are representative of his supporters in general? Absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
