How Do Us Sikhs Feel About Republicans?

You guys aren't looking at the big picture, they're all politicians and scum.

I used to like Obama as well, but he isn't changing anything. Here's a perfect example:

I don't think anyone can blame Obama for that, he voted against the Iraq war. He has winded down the Iraq war, and has his hands tied with Afghanistan.

Plus, he has definitely cooled things down. I mean, Bush and his English lapdog Blair seriously heated things up.

I think Republicans (and/or their supporters) have a lot of investments in military hardware companies, so they make a fortune with wars in that way, on top of whatever they can grab as well (i.e. oil).

Definitely agree with you on this.

Only disappointment in Obama (or the system, can't decide which yet) is that he hasn't really done much to my expectations of actually forming real peace and withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan.

I have a lot of empathy for Obama as every thing he is trying to do gets obstructed by the Replebians. They are craftily manipulating the system to stonewall change and progress.

In the end it just shows you how evil they really are (despite the act of being civilised), and how their hatred for Obama overrides any patriotic notions they pretend to have.

It looks like they are more than prepared to jeopardise the country to get at Obama?

I guess that is true, I agree...

The message in the video is something we all should agree upon.

edit- watch this video, it goes hand in hand with the view that big business republicans are what have made America what it is today. This guy also went to a couple 1984 remembrance events set up by Gurudwaras and rapped about it. He basically said this as well once "props to the shaheeds who took out Indira Gandhi"

I never realized how simple politics could be.

Republicans are all stupid idiots. Democrats are trying to do what is right. Obama is a saint who is always being obstructed.

Its very dangerous to take complicated matters and make them simple. It can give you a warm feeling and make you feel very self righteous, quite a shame it is simply not true. The fact that so many Americans (and evidently Brits) on both sides think that way (about the other side) just hows how remarkably efficient the political media machine has become.

Very true. But what Fox type Republicans seem to frequently do is make the simple unnecessarily complex. I mean, look at healthcare, even Britain for all its flaws has free healthcare for everyone. Most of developed Europe does - but publicans fight the notion keeping the states like a third world nation.

Plus it isn't hard to see many Republican, neocons are frequently racist types with extremely uncompassionate attitudes towards those less well off than themselves. We know this mentality well because it stemmed from this island and was the driving force during the colonial period. Now it lives on in the people who left here and migrated to America it seems?

Obama isn't a saint but he certainly isn't anything like the demonised fellow as represented by relentlessly dishonest and totally unbalanced Republican aligned media outlets like Fox. How can people who have no problem playing such foul games be trusted by anyone other than idiots or bigots who support their agenda?

There is a saying in English that you should apply here:

"Many a true word is said in jest."

That Immortal Technique clip was cool. The guy is very good at articulating his point. Heard some of his tunes last night, they were what hip hop used to be like. Very conscious.

I suggest discussing issues not parties. Discussing parties means you say alot, but you say nothing at all.

That's a cop out. The party I'm talking about harbours right wing, barely concealed racist agendas, whatever they may have been like in the past. Your country and this one have already been dragged into an unnecessary war by these morons. Those people being the preferred political choice of the banking sector, whose greed led to the current global recession, says a lot in itself.

Fact is that they are the party for the privilege for affluent whites. That is where their interests lie and be damned with the rest of us. They also harbour very self-centred evil men who feel no compunction to profit from war and death. Exactly like colonial Brits did not long ago. Pretending anything else is essentially becoming part of the whole machinery that supports these types of things.

People have to recognise organised sources of negativity that can and do effect our lives. This is clearly one. Those Tea party type people need to reform themselves before they cause more trouble in the world. If the implications of their stupidity was only confined to the US, I wouldn't care two hoots, but seeing as they commonly rope in the Anglocentric leaders of my country into their schemes, I'm forced to pay attention.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
