I'm an American. I grew-up near Wa****ngton DC and I've lived all my adult
life in the San Jose California area about 30-40 miles south of San
Francisco
- one of the most left-wing Liberal areas of the country, yet all of my
friends are ultra-right-wing and so am I (with certain practical
exceptions).

I'm not sure what you're on about since you quoted no thread, but this
isn't
about race or creed or even ***. This is about politics and left-wing
liberalism vs right-wing Conservatism. In Obama's case, its also about the
fact that he has ties to Islam about which I ordinarily could care less,
but
some time ago, in case you didn't know, factions of the Muslim world sort
of
declared war on Western Culture. And they've decided that USA is the
foremost
proponent of that culture and they have openly attacked us and constantly
threaten to do it again. I sort of see that as pretty much the same thing
as
being asked, in WWII, to vote for a first generation German-American as
President. Pardon me if I err on the side of caution, and pass.

Not really. I ordinarily don't care about someone's religion (except to
look
on all of them with an equally suspicious eye), but in this case, as I
said
above. I'd rather not have someone with an Islamic background - no matter
how
tenuous - as Commander-in-Chief. I also don't want a President who's made
anti-American comments, whose wife has said publicly and repeatedly that
she's NEVER been proud to be an American, and whose "most im****tant" life
influence has been a preacher who openly hates his own country and
preaches
against it continuously. These are the "red flags" about which I speak. In
my
opinion Barack Hussein Obama is NOT a good American, would not make an
appropriate president, and I don't give a flying **** if he's, black, red,
green or blue!

The Electorate that the USA has is no different than the Electorate of any
Western Democracy, and from your server suffix, I suspect that you are
from
the Irish Republic. If so, your electorate hasn't so sterling a record
that
you can afford to throw stones either.
