"A spontaneous, uninhibited, and vigorous discussion is always welcome here"
This forum has, as its central theme, the removal of Barack Obama from his current position as President of the United States of America.
And needless to say, those who frequent this board are of their opinion that there is sufficient reason for that action to take place.
So be it.
That's the remarkable and precious aspect of a true democracy. Anyone is free to express an opinion without fear of hindrance or suppression.
By the same democratic principle one, or many, can combine and present their case regarding Barack Obama to the Court of Law, right up to the Supreme Court if necessary, and let justice be done seeing as Justice basis its decision on provable facts as opposed to opinions and sentiments.
Actions, as it's said, speak louder than words. And Whatever Conclusion the Law should come to, let it be respected and accepted.
If one, or many, are not prepared to test their convictions or belief of an unlawful act in the appropriate Legal arena then what does it say about that conviction or belief ?
Notwithstanding the above, I'd like to concentrate not on any political aspect of Barack Obama but rather on the content of what he said, today, at the memorial service of an inspirational, humble and great human being, Nelson Mandela.
Obama spoke on a public platform, before a gathering of thousands that also comprised world leaders from every part of the world, some of whom would probably not have gathered at the same venue if it wasn't because they wished to pay their respects to a man who was universally accepted across the full spectrum of societies and political persuasions .
I would, personally, encourage anyone to listen to the content of that speech and separate its contents from their opinion of the orator.
Probably every world leader present, including Barack Obama himself (by his own admission), should take heed of what he said regarding the example that Mandela set, especially during his brief time on the world's stage following his incarceration.
Irrespective of who wrote that speech, in my humble opinion, it hit the mark on so many levels ....
