Andy Schafly's Conservapedia is on top of it. New updates to the intro of their Obama article: - Obama uses the Muslim Pakistani pronunciation for "Pakistan" rather than the common American one.<37> - Obama has chosen the Secret Service code name "Renegade". "Renegade" conventionally describes someone who goes against normal conventions of behavior, but its first usage was to describe someone who has turned from their religion. It is a word derived from the Spanish renegado, meaning "Christian turned Muslim."<40> -"President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors."<43>
--- Just when you thought they couldn't get any nuttier....
So this is what it's come to for Rove's permanent majority: complete and utter detachment from reality and anything resembling credibility. Nothing is more beautiful to my eyes than to see the once-mighty Conservative 'Movement' crumble into total irrelevance.

Fucking idiots.
Obama uses the Pakistani pronunciation of Pakistan, I would imagine, because he is a college professor and is educated and well-informed.

4. Pronouncing another nation's name the way their people do makes you look educated and aware... |
|
... unlike the rude, rank, classless ignoramus soon to depart our White House.
Betcha President Obama can say nuclear correctly too.

...but even more than seeing the conservative movement crumble, it's even better when you realize that they basically did it to themselves!! Due to their blind loyalty to Bush, is the reason for their downfall.......and if there had been a spine among any of them, they could have changed it at almost any time.
And about their 'proof', perhaps he says Pakistan the way he does because he has also been to other countries and maybe he learned the way it is supposed to be pronounced.
And being someone who doesn't conform to the way things are normally done, that actually appeals to me!! If someone likes to do something a little differently, that doesn't mean it's the wrong choice....nor does it make you a muslim or a terrorist!
As for not attending church, that just means that he is less likely to use religion for a political goal. And again, that's something else that also appeals to me!

Pakistan is not a muslim word - it is an Urdu word.
Renegade means rebel - does that make him a Confederate sympathizer?
He skipped church in November, according to Politico. It's now mid-January.
And so it goes.
