Italy's First Negro Cabinent Member, "Looks Like an Orangutan".

[Johny Joe Hold]

Even though Italy is mostly a worthless country of mountains and tomato sauce, its conservatives are among the world's best.

Roberto Calderoll is an excutive in the Northern Party which stays close to its moral view that white people should run things. That's why, when the country's Prime Minister appointed Negro, Cecile Kyenge, to the Cabinent Post of Minister of Integration, Calleroll noticed she looked like an orangutan.

Such an international fuss has been made about this remark. If someone has particular features of some animal, why not point this out?

It's common to compare people to things we find in nature. Sometimes people with resolve are considered "Solid as an oak tree." We use the phrase, "The grass is always greener.." to depict human envy.

Frankly, I would be surprised if the orangutan comparison had not been made in Landover Baptist Church at one time or another.

So people should not be able to say the truth in today's society? What are we supposed to say when we see someone that looks like an organgutan? Lie and say that it looks like a chimp instead?

Exactly. Politcal correctness has gotten out of hand.

If there is one thing to like about Italy it has to be their conseratives.

(Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi gave an enthusiastic, if unconventional, welcome on Thursday to the election of Barack Obama, citing among his attributes youth, good looks and a "suntan."

Obviously, the issue is that she doesn't look like an orangutan (or a chimp).

The comparison to an orangutan is meant to highlight the fact that her ethnicity is of a "less evolved" stock; meant to imply she is closer to a lesser ape than she is to humanity. The senator essentially demeans her by stating she is a missing link, more or less, which I would have guessed is a notion you True Christians would disagree with.

A missing link would imply evolution, and Genesis tells us a different story of how Man was created. So of course, we disagree with it.

If God created this woman to look like a monkey, I am not sure why it's such a crime simply to point that out.

There is no shortage of atheists and homers who come on our site with comments like, "..I would have guessed is a notion you True Christians would disagree with."

We are quite able to figure things out by ourselves without other speculating as to, "..would have guessed ...would disagree with."

We obtain our reasoning from the Bible. Obviously, you are an atheist who does not. We require no help from you, thank you.

Interesting, personally I would have compared her with a howler monkey, which seems a bit more like her, both in looks and in behavior, but of course, if in the political discourse of Italy she acts like an orangutan, then it is no more than fair that she gets called out for that.

That doesn't make any sense. Atheists shouldn't think it's demeaning to be compared to a chimp, considering they think we're all related anyway. They should be celebrating it, if anything. It just goes to show you, atheists are simply angry contrarians.

I'm not an atheist.

This is something you need to pray about.

There was a rational discussion going on in this thread about how a Christian in Italy thought a new Italian cabinent member looked like an Orangutan. You were free to offer your opinion as to whether she does, or does not, resemble an Orangutan.

Instead, you went off on a odd tangent about evolution, or some similar topic. Atheists believe in evolution.

In spite of all that, you are welcome to state clearly whether, in your view, she does or does not resemble an orangutan.

Typical wops. What do you expect from a bunch of choir boy rapists.

Rememeber this one? No Sarah Palin, that is for sure!

Re: Italy's First Negro Cabinent Member, "Looks Like an Orangutan".

To be honest though, i would rather prefer having a choir boy raping cathlic wop as a cabinet member than a damn monkey.

Great point, Brother Ex. In this business of heritage and politics, you have to know where the loyalties lie.

For example, I have access to large amounts of public money--I'm in politics. I know my ancestors back to the time God created us were homo sapiens. In my case, there are no divided loyalties.

What if, for example, my ancestors had been orangutans? My loyalties and how I spent public money would be mixed, some for people, some for orangutans.
