It doesn’t matter – what matters is that he’s not white, but if they say that they look like racists so they say it’s about religion instead.

They know he’s not a Muslim, don’t you remember them bitching about his Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright? He was pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ. If Obama was a Muslim what is he doing attending a Protestant church?

I’m convinced that the WBC has no religious motivation at all, they just do anything that will get them into the media, and possibly get them a big lawsuit against someone who violated their rights.

They seem to have no criteria at all for their protests except that they go where they will offend the most people.

Everyone has an accent. That’s the point of the concept of an accent. It just so happens that the Kansas accent was chosen by accident to be the ‘neutral ground’ accent that cross state communication gravitated towards (I’m a historian type who is into the development of the cross state national radio network of the 20th century, can I bore you to death with a bunch of facts you care nothing about?).

Everyone has an accent. Interestingly, if you live in the midwest, AND live in a large city (Such as me, I live in Minneapolis and sound like Tom Brokow), you tend to lose the accent and start having that meeting-at-the-middle non-accent that national newscasters pick up (except Dan Rather, what’s up with that?). BUT, if you live on the coasts, the larger the city you live in, the greater an accent you have (ever talked to anyone from New York? Yeah. Two people living four blocks away have different accents. I’m not sure what the social phenomenon that drives this is, but it’s kinda cool.

Seriously man, if there’s a U.S. president that was secretly God working in disguise, it was Teddy R. He was James Bond multiplied by Batman, exponentialed to the power of Malcolm Reynolds.

If really want to go to a place with no accent, Ohio is the place to go. They have the least dialectal frills when it comes to American English. If you think about the recorded voice of a lady you get on phones, especially for “the number you have dialed…,” she’s from Ohio.
