Welcome to Kenya
 

Sorry if this is a dupe, I'm too lazy to search

Funny? Maybe. Accurate?

This is a hoax. First, Kenya's two main languages are Swahili and English. The road sign above contains what appears to be Arabic script. Second, the image was Photoshopped. The original, discovered by a user posting on the conspiracy-theory website AboveTopSecret.com, is of a road sign in Madha, a territory of Oman located in the United Arab Emirates. In English and Arabic, it says: "Wilayat Madha Welcomes You."

Obama's father, Barack Obama the elder, was born in Kenya...
otherwise that sign is bogus, imo.

Good sign though. Not far off. His grandmother has not been invited to the White House for Holidays?!?!?!? She has said, on multiple occasions, that she was there for his birth. In Kenya.

You have a legit link(s) for that idea?


By the bye, many Swahili words came from Arabic, much like English
from Germany, et al. Dunno what that sign says or, what langauge.

Here is just one I found off a quick search.
Democrat: Obama's grandma confirms Kenyan birth

There are many many more. There are also many stating this wasn't true. Where there is smoke, there is fire :dunno:

Berg's suits were dismissed; he is imo, a nutcase at best...
Not defending the BigO, but this urban myth stuff comes
around like gators in NY and aliens on ice, lol!

:iagree:

Applying the phrase 'where there is smoke there is fire' is essentially saying that if you tell a lie often enough, it becomes truth.

:iagree:

Carry on.......:yawn:

Not the same. How often do the tabloids get a story that no one believes because of the source, but turns out to be true. Mostly Hollywood stuff, which who cares!, but I'm just saying it happens all around us. Pay attention a little more and you will notice. Rumors are based on truth a lot of the time.
Fact is the guy hates everything about this country and "wants to change the fundamentals" of this country. Damn he says 'fundamentally' a lot!!

Oh now I'm interested. Please list the "everything about this country"
the guy hates. Tells us about these "fundamentals"!!!

:popcorn:

Here is a fact. Statements like "the guy hates everything about this country" place you in a fringe category along side those who love and support ACORN.

I happen to think Obama is a terrible president in terms of his Progressive agenda like that of Nancy Pelosi and others like them. With that said I truly believe he loves America. America is great because of its freedom's and that includes the freedom to be a Progressive. When you make statements like the one above you marginalize yourself.

Just some friendly advice.

It is exactly the same. If I said "Elvis is alive and working in a burger joint" often enough, it would be picked up by a tabloid, which is your example above. Nobody would believe the source, as you said, but it wouldn't turn out to be true, the opposite of your suggestion. False rumours are still false. When you read that tabloid, and say "Well, where there is smoke there is fire" you are essentially rewarding someone who told a lie often enough. How about applying some critical thinking to the nonsense being sprouted by the press (and I use the term press very loosely)?

:iagree:

You see that, MLG, we can agree! :thumbup:

Ditto....:thumbup:

Freedom and Capitalism. He was quoted as saying the Constitution is a bill of negative rights. Something about it not letting the Government not having enough power. His wife "some people will have to give up a a piece of their pie so that others can have some" Tell me what that says about them :yikes:. Now I know that you leg tingles when you hear him talk :rofl: so this conversation will go no further. "Its like he is above it all, like he is floating above the earth looking down, almost God like" :bustingup

The Clintons love America, would take us in the wrong direction IMO but I believe they LOVE AMERICA. No one can do and attempt (he hasn't gotten anything past thankfully) the things he is and be able to say he loves this country.

I'm done.

The sign is a photochop you numbnuts, you'll argue about anything :) :rofl::rofl:

No shit Sherlock. :rofl:

It does however make it even funnier that you wasted your time googling it though ... :bustingup:bustingup

:bustingup:bustingup

Thanks Barry. :bustingup

No time was wasted, especially when it helps
wake up other idiots who believe it......:D

What happened to your sense of humor?

Oh I think it's funny but there are a bunch of other
people who don't know the difference a joke and the facts.

Are there really some doubters about him being born in Hawaii still out there?:loco:
