Ärende: Lee's Rules for Fidonet
===============================
Hello David,

 LL>>              Lee's Rules for Fidonet

 LL>> `Be what you would seem to be' -- or, if you'd like it put
 LL>> more simply -- `Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise
 LL>> than what it might appear to others that what you were or
 LL>> might have been was not otherwise than what you had been
 LL>> would have appeared to them to be otherwise.'

 DD> There is always someone who will see you as something you are not. Look at
 DD> the number who insist that Obama is a Muslim.

Barack Obama may be many things, but he is no African American.
His wife is, but not him.  Barack Obama is from Kenya.  That makes
him African.  Not African American.  Big difference.

Barack Obama grew up not really knowing who he was.  But when
he went to Chicago, a man by the name of Jeremiah Wright showed
him the light.  And we all know what happened next.  Barack
Obama entered that church and heard Jeremiah Wright shout from
the pulpit "God damn America!" and was instantly baptised into
the faith!

His first job assignment was community organizer, going from
house to house, telling everybody the news.  And when folks
heard what Jeremiah Wright had shouted from the pulpit, they
all came flocking to the church themselves to see what a
great man he was!  This went on for an entire summer, until
Barack decided it was time for him to go to college and do
something constructive with his life.

So.  As you can plainly see, Barack Obama is no Muslim.
He is exactly as he claims to be - a Christian.  Just like
Jeremiah Wright.

Barack Obama never knew his father, as his parents had split
when he was two years old.  At age 12 he got to visit with his
father for one week.  Shortly afterwards, his father was killed
in an automobile wreck.

Just because his father was a Muslim does not make Barack Obama
a Muslim.  Just because his stepfather was a Muslim does not make
Barack Obama a Muslim.  Just because his mother chose to marry
two different Muslims does not make Barack Obama a Muslim.
Just because all his brothers and sisters are Muslim does not
make Barack Obama a Muslim.

Even Donald Trump admits that Barack Obama is a Christian.
Maybe not a good Christian, but a Christian nonetheless.
