So tell me why you even think that they are from the "hood" or would do "crack"? So you are saying that being an Obama cult is the only option............NOT.Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you are saying that being an Obama cult is the only option............NOT. I was just interested in why an old white guy would say this. QuoteAnd I thought the other things were scary I see a group of young black men who have a positive role model in someone who looks like them. I hear them saying they want to make achievements in life by being doctors and lawyers and professionals because of that role model. I guess that is just too scary for you.... I find it an affirmation of what this country is supposed to be about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #6 October 6, 2008 Dude, you seem more brainwashed than the Michael Moore die-hards. Perhaps I'll vote twice for Obama, once for me and again for you. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #7 October 6, 2008 Quote Why is it important that the role model has to be "someone who looks like them"? You have to answer that for yourself Mike It only takes a little study in recent history and the history of blacks in America since European powers brought them to this continent. Far too many people in this country will still not give an equal opportunity to those who look like Obama..or others who dont look like them.....that is a fact that apparently you are blind to if you would ask a question such as that... or make a statement like the subject line.

I usually find that when groups of children/teenagers dressed and acting paramilitary start "pledging their allegiance" to a single person that at a minimum a healthy skepticism is in order.

mamajumps 0 #10 October 6, 2008 I'm with you Mike I am all for kids of any color doing their best and making great achievements. It SHOULD NOT be a color thing. I would have viewed that video different had it included other races. However, it did not. I really hope that people get their heads out of the clouds and realize that obama is a very dangerous man. to all the obama-ites: Look deeper, research him more. Don't just vote for him because you don't like McCain for whatever reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the next thing you know we have people with military uniforms, rank insignia, a military-style organization and special salutes. You might even see sworn oaths, religion requirements and laws to be followed. Heck, before you know it, you'll be calling them "boy troopers" or "boy scouts" or something.

MikeForsythe 0 #12 October 6, 2008 QuoteHeck, before you know it, you'll be calling them "boy troopers" or "boy scouts" or something.As someone in scouting for over 30 years and an Eagle scout I have NEVER "pledged my allegiance" to a "single person" or candidate for POTUS in scouting. Try again and while you are at it read the Scout law, motto and Oath I have listed below to show what we strive to follow. The Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. The Scout Law: TRUSTWORTHY A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him. LOYAL A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation. HELPFUL A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward. FRIENDLY A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own. COURTEOUS A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together. KIND A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason. OBEDIENT A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobey them. CHEERFUL A Scout looks for the bright side of things. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy. THRIFTY A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property. BRAVE A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him. CLEAN A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes around with those who believe in living by these same ideals. He helps keep his home and community clean. REVERENT A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others. Scout Motto: Be PreparedTime and pressure will always show you who a person really is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,111 #13 October 6, 2008 OK. Your paramilitary organization that targets young children is better than their paramilitary organization that targets college students. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #14 October 6, 2008 Quote Look deeper, research him more. Don't just vote for him because you don't like McCain for whatever reason. I did... I even voted for Sen McCain in the primary.. but when he started pandering to the religeous wrong.. and then started thinking with his little head rather than the big one and selected the hot chick to be the VP... and most likely the president if he gets elected because he will NOT live out the next 4 years of the stress of the presidency...there is NO FUCKING WAY I can vote for him...I am voting for the FAR LESSER of two not so great choices. I base that on the fact that one of the right wing whack jobs will kill Obama...just because he is what he is.. and far too many of them really believe that load of crap about his being a muslim let alone a black man. I can live with a President Biden... and would be aghast and appalled at a President Palin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeForsythe 0 #15 October 6, 2008 QuoteOK. Your paramilitary organization that targets young children is better than their paramilitary organization that targets college students.I guess you missed that whole part about " swearing allegiance to Obama" There is a huge difference between the two. Scouting is about serving to help others not “swearing allegiance to A MAN".Quotethan their paramilitary organization that targets college students.Try again, they were middle school kids.Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!
