From Sikh to Christian: "Why I Don't Believe In Nikki Haley's 'Conversion'"

[Ender]

Normally so... but there is a change brewing.

"Pretty extraordinary rebellion is taking place inside GOP that a guy who says that Bush lied about WMDs/does not see McCain as "war hero"/rebukes Lindsey Graham/calls Obama stupid is leading GOP race. "

Well, viva la change- I'm all for it. Just don't want to see Sihks now on the hatred list. have NO patience with unwarranted prejudice, as you may have noticed.

that's devil worship, careful or you might summon a stoning upon yourself

Summon up a stoning, you say?

Why are some Americans so scared of Sikhs?
Or Mexicans? Or Chinese? Or the Irish? Or Natives? Or Jews? Or Arabs? Or Indians? Or Africans?

FIFY. Good question-IDK.

In the interest of not collectively lumping together all people of a group, it should be pointed out that OP News and related discussion was about just one former (or current) Sikh Nikki Halley who happens to be a pro war violence individual. She would be a fake Christian just on this account too.

Why I Don't Believe In Nikki Haley's 'Conversion'

"Never question a man's (or woman's) religious beliefs"

When you have a President of a country too scared to look like a sikh in photos.. you can imagine how strong the prejudices might be among the "ignorant" folks of the society.

Obama cancelled trip to Sikh temple for fear of looking moslem in photos

ps. Obama is a secret Muslim born in Africa.

To be fair, Obama had claimed to be a Christian on national TV:

Noted that you won't care.

But what %age of South Carolinians care about the religion of their governor? Mostly likely majority does.

The majority only cares that she pretends to be a Christian. Religion is a way of signaling identity. By converting to Christianity and outwardly displaying fealty to the Christian God she is telling the people of South Carolina that she is one of them, and that is all people really want. She screwed all that up with the flag of course, but that too was signaling. Haley is nearing the end of her term and by spitting on the Southern Battle Flag she is saying to the Washington elites that she is NOT some backwards hick from South Carolina but rather an enlightened Establishment player fully worthy of a plush lobbying job in DC or perhaps consideration for the Vice Presidency.

by spitting on the Southern Battle Flag

A sizable portion of the country feels the southern battle flag spits on them. The confederate flag is American's version of the Nazi flag. Deal with it.

In too many parts of the world, the American flag is a modern version of the Nazi flag.
Deal with it?

Nikki Haley's 'Conversion'"

"It’s discouraging that any American political candidate feels compelled to include in her campaign material a confession of faith. It’s especially discouraging that this particular confession is being made in South Carolina — home of Charles Pinckney, one of the Founding Fathers of religious liberty in America."

Poland Ball is hilarious.

Impressive that America has pissed some people off so much that they changed their national flag to protest the actions of another country.

The 23 white stars in the canton of the flag represent the 23 islands of Bikini Atoll. The three black stars in the upper right represent the three islands that were disfigured in March 1954 during 15-megaton Bravo test by the United States. The two black stars in the lower right corner represent where the Bikinians live now, Kili Island, 425 miles to the south of Bikini Atoll, and Ejit Island of Majuro Atoll. These two stars are symbolically far away from Bikini's stars on the flag as the islands are in real life (both in distance and quality of life).[1] The Marshallese language words on the bottom of the flag, "MEN OTEMJEJ REJ ILO BEIN ANIJ" (in the new orthography, "MEN WŌTŌMJEJ REJ ILO PEIN ANIJ"), reportedly represent the words spoken in 1946 by the Bikinian leader, Juda, to U.S. Commodore Ben Wyatt when the American went to Bikini to ask the islanders to give up their islands for the 'good of all mankind' for nuclear weapons testing. They translate as "Everything is in the hands of God.

Eh nukes in the Pacific are a sore point

The last terror attack New Zealand suffered was state sponsored by France. Caught the bastards. They blew up a bloody Green Peace boat to stop it sailing of to protest nuclear testing. There were crew on-board though.
