<title>Reality Versus Perception……..</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If there is one thing we can all learn from this presidential race it’s that women are not only still second or third class citizens… it’s really <em>other women</em> that are keeping them in that position.<br />
For many men it may come as a surprise that the women known as “feminists”… <em>in the height of irony</em>…are the real people keeping many women back.<br />
Most intelligent women I know have known this since almost day one. We didn’t need decoder rings …we went to school with these “women”. The Campbell Browns and Maureen Dowds of the world we are very familiar with…we have had to watch our backs around these women since kindergarten after all.<br />
This is one of the main reasons I never bought into the feminist movement…I looked at the players and knew who they were, what they were…<em>and what their agenda really was</em>. And their agenda wasn’t about helping other women get ahead at all. Hardly; it’s all about power,<strong><em>their power</em></strong> as most special interest groups are…..the name "feminist" should give it away after all.<br />
These women fancy themselves the ultimate arbiters of who deserves to get ahead and who doesn’t.<br />
 It’s simple really.<br />
 If you belong to their special clique....liberal, very.... and you share <strong>every single one of their “ideas” completely </strong>and you have kissed their <S>asses</S> ring… perhaps, and <u>then only perhaps</u> will you be allowed to pass go and collect your reward with their blessings.<br />
 And then whatever you accomplish they will, of course, take credit for.<br />
 Except motherhood…the ultimate sin in feminist land. Then you are <em>just a breeder</em>….which simply shows the depth of contempt these women have for <strong>other women making their own, very real choices</strong>. They assume that any woman that has children is a sucker…or at least that’s what they want everyone to believe. But it’s <em>not what they really believe</em> and this is what men have been slow to understand.<br />
 It’s really about the simple fact that in their world there isn’t any real choice other than that which appears on their official list of approved “choices”. So much for <em>real choice</em>...it's all a smokescreen.<br />
 Abortions? Yes.<br />
 Motherhood? No.....<strong><em>OMG no!</em></strong><br />
 Unless of course you aren’t in a relationship of any kind and use a sperm donor and then it’s really cutting-edge-cool……<br />
 If you are happily married and have children you are out of "the club" forever and if you think that these women will support you if you want to also have a career…<em>forget it.</em><br />
 You have become a threat…just as blacks that succeed without the “help” of people like Jesse Jackson and Rev. Wright are Uncle Toms. It’s a threat to their power base.<br />
 <u>After all, if you can do it without them…who needs them?</u> And that’s where they get their money, and power from…..keeping the very people they pretend to fight for down…<em>way down</em>. <br />
 These same feminist women are attacking Governor Palin and her seventeen year old daughter like jackals right now, but that doesn’t come as a surprise to <strong>real women anywhere</strong>.<br />
 Like I said…we went to school with them.<br />
 Men don’t understand this …and they would need more than decoder rings to be able to. <br />
 When Barack Obama appeared on the political stage the feminists were more than happy to throw Hillary Clinton under the bus, she wasn’t <em>really </em>one of them after all,..….and he was already house broken. He had been trained by one of their own….his wife Michelle. An angry, bitter, disagreeable woman who puts herself first at all times and is never satisfied with anything.<br />
 In other words their poster child.<br />
 That is the feminist model.<br />
 And the head spinning contortions these "feminists" are doing in the media right now to make it appear as if they are just “concerned” are mind bending to say the least.<br />
 Their favorite phrase “A woman has the right to choice”…should be followed by “But choose very, very carefully or we will turn on you.”<br />
 And we are witnessing this phenomenon right now.</p>

<title>Slow-Joe Provides The Laughs........</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>  Borrowed from <a href="http://media.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OWIyOTUyMDZhYWM2YmY5NWI0OWZhNzEwZTZjMWNlMDU=">Media Blog </a>NRO........<br />
 On a day when we could all use a laugh, old Slow-Joe does the trick yet again. <br />
I can't wait for the debates.....</p>

<blockquote><strong>Barack Obama is One Heartbeat Away From Being President  </strong> [Greg Pollowitz]

<p>So thinks Joe Biden. From a stop in Scranton today:</p>

<p>    "I will be back, I'll be back to campaign in earnest," Biden said, "but today is not the moment for me to campaign. Today is the moment for me as a United States senator <u>running for president </u>to put aside the national politics and focus on what's happening down there" in the Gulf Coast.</p>

<p>Freudian slip? Freudian slip?</blockquote><br />
  *Snicker........</p>

<p> Highlights mine.</p>]]></description>

<title>A Little Update...............</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>In case you were still wondering how to vote this November perhaps a little reading is in order......</p>

<p> For those of you unfamiliar with what our little democratic friends <strong>really have on their minds</strong> [in their minds?] this is a showcase of their brand of "thinking".<br />
 Enjoy...<em>or not</em>......<br />
 <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/1/13540/20367/584/582167">Daily Kos komments </a>on Sarah Palin and her Down Syndrome baby and pregnant daughter.<br />
 Remember, a vote for Obama is a vote for these people, and frankly I don't think America can take anymore of these people....just think about it.</p>]]></description>

<title>Alan Colmes…Gutter Snipe</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>....Alan Colmes being the spineless classless individual that he is, took down the original post...<u>not because it was wrong or he was sorry that he put it up in the first place but because he is now a "<a href="http://www.alan.com/2008/08/31/its-about-judgment-stupid/#comment-30099">victim</a>"</u><br />
 <blockquote>"The post about Sarah Palin’s pre-natal care was taken down because of the vile comments made by a pletehora of conservatives who decided to invade the site"</blockquote><br />
 Now, I don't exactly know what a "pletehora" is, but it's obvious from Alan's intellectually challenged "arguments" that he isn't suffering from a <strong>plethora of brains</strong>.........<br />
 That's okay, here's the original post ,courtesy of <a href="http://environmentalrepublican.blogspot.com/2008/08/alan-colmes-heads-into-sewer.html">Environmental Republican</a> right <a href="http://wizbangblog.com/images/2008/08/you_stay_classy_alan_colmes/AlanColmes-Sick.png">HERE.</a></p>

<p>Just when I thought that Alan Colmes couldn’t be any more loathsome…..he is.<br />
 And, frankly, I am just not that surprised. <br />
 In a move that proves that liberals aren't actually concerned about a woman's rights or babies until they are ...<u>for political reasons.</u>...Alan Colmes all of a sudden develops a concern for <strong>unborn babies</strong>. <br />
 But only if they are <u>unborn republican babies and it might make their mother look bad</u>......<br />
 Read it <a href="http://www.alan.com/2008/08/30/did-palin-take-proper-pre-natal-care/">HERE.</a><br />
 Alan is parroting a trashy story from <a href="http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/news/3395/sarah-palins-questionable-judgment">this source.</a>..word "source" used very ,very loosely........<br />
 FOX news used to be a rational and fairly accurate purveyor of news with a minimum of personal <em>and personality</em> pollution.<br />
 Not so anymore…and this latest from Alan Colmes as he repeats and whispers this vile meme shows he obviously  feels <em>very comfortable </em>saying this sort of thing, and proves that FOX is no longer a viable source of anything but <strong>indigestion</strong>.<br />
Because let’s face it, if Alan thought for even one moment that Rupert Murdoch would be disturbed by these comments of his he wouldn’t have said them. When you are the face of a company and what that company sells is “news” the only way you would ever, ever say anything this vile is if you have the boss’ approval. <br />
 Other wise, come Monday morning and the light of day hits your “opinion” and you are out of a job.<br />
 If one of my employees said something like this and I was in the information business instead of the Bio Tech business I would fire his ass so fast he would be watching from the parking lot as his little box of mementos was <u>jettisoned out a window.</u><br />
 Alan…you owe Sarah Palin and the American people an apology. Two actually…one for your comment the other for ever talking at all…………<br />
 <strong>Contact FOX and demand that this man be fired.</strong></p>

<p> <strong>Phone # 1-888-369-4762....</strong></p>]]></description>

<title>Absolutely Brilliant……………</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>And this is yet another reason why I have supported John McCain right from the start.<br />
 <u>His excellent judgment.</u><br />
 Though I respect my friend’s and fellow bloggers who <em>had</em> their reservations about McCain because they didn’t think he was conservative enough.....I am a realist.<br />
He is as conservative as the average American. And last time I checked it wasn’t the Republican Party…or <u>real conservatives</u> either for that matter…that want to force their viewpoint down your throat. That’s so old skool commie Dem, in other words…Barack Hussein Obama’s shtick.<br />
 Sarah Palin is a truly accomplished and talented woman. But according to Barack “sweetie” Obama she isn’t experienced enough, which, BTW ,is code for "but <em>she's a girl.</em>........."<br />
 Excuse me? Did his minions really say that?<br />
 Yes they did.<br />
 And his other minions, once known as the MSM, have said even worse <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/29/caught-on-live-audio-the-media-sexist-insults-begin/">here</a> and <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2008/08/29/cnn-hey-wont-palin-be-neglecting-her-downs-syndrome-baby/">here</a> and you know there will be many more.<br />
 But the most obnoxious comment came from his senior adviser, a dried up old prune named Anita Dunn:<br />
<blockquote>“All of us look at that wonderful family and say “you go girl”.</blockquote><br />
 <strong>Un-frickin’-believable.</strong><br />
 Now for the men out there [no need to get out your female decoder rings] this is a <strong><em>huge</em> </strong>catty nasty way of saying “Sure, you’re a good breeder. Now stay home and bake me a pie.”<br />
 <u>And every woman on the planet just got the message</u>.<br />
 Do you think there is any room left under BO’s bus for his soon to-be-ex senior adviser?<br />
 Well, <em>if</em> Palin is so "inexperienced"…even though she <strong>was a mayor</strong>, <strong>is a governor</strong> and has real actual accomplishments that we can believe in instead of <strong>make-believe in</strong>, what does that say about <strong>Obama’s very real lack of accomplishments and experience</strong>? And ,hint to Barry, Palin isn't at the top of the ticket like you are, is she?<br />
 And why is the Obama camp going ballistic?<br />
 And they are, they are……….I think Mr. Hollywood just met Cape Fear.<br />
 Just how long will it take Michelle and Slow-Joe to pull him out from under the bed?<br />
 Me, I just can’t stop smiling.<br />
What a wonderful palate cleanser after having to watch Barry’s little show last night, which was nothing more than “Wizard of Oz meets Temple of Doom” ……giant sucking noise ensues............<br />

<title>Another Obama Creepy Associate...Yet Again........</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/08/26/another_radical_obama_association">Amanda Carpenter at Townhall.com</a></p>

<p><br />
<blockquote>Old videos appear to show a radical Muslim named Khalid Al-Mansour helped Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama gain acceptance into Harvard Law.</p>

<p>Civil rights activist Percy Sutton recalled being solicited by a man named Dr. Khalid A-Mansour to write a letter of recommendation to help Obama gain acceptance into Harvard Law in this undated television interview available HERE.</p>

<p>"I was introduced to him [Obama] by a friend who was raising money for him and the friends name was Dr. Khalid al Mansour from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principle adviser to one of the world's richest men. He told me about Obama. He wrote to me about him and his introduction was 'there is a young man that has applied to Harvard and I know that you have a few friends left there because you used to go up there to speak, would you please write a letter in support of him?'...I wrote a letter in support of him to my friends at Harvard saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I sure hoped they would treat him kindly."</p>

<p>There are many videos available on the internet featuring a man named Khalid Al-Mansour, who describes himself as an author, scholar and businessman, blasting the Jewish culture and Christianity and preaching the virtues of Islam, reminiscent of the controversial clips discovered of Obama’s longtime friend and former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright that rocked headlines earlier this spring.</p>

<p>In one of the videos, titled “Christians Designed Discrimination” uploaded by a YouTube user named IslamStudios, Al-Mansour said, <strong>“White people don't feel bad, whatever you do to them, they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that's when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don't worry because God wants you to do it." </strong></blockquote></p>

<p> Highlight was mine......<br />
 The creep-O-meter went off the chart for me on this one. Every time I think Obama surely can't be any creepier, more un-American or less politically savvy....he is.<br />
This man shouldn't even be allowed to <strong>tour </strong>the White House, much less sit in it................<br />
 Obama is the ultimate Manchurian [or should I say islamofascist] candidate....wake up America what do you need? Skywriting?</p>]]></description>

<title>HUH??????</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p> That Barack Obama...he is just such a <strong><em>rocket scientist</em>.</strong><br />
 Even though we live in the age of the internet <u>he seems to think that he can say and do one thing and then actually live and be another one altogether.........</u><br />
 Here is a classic example ,courtesy of <a href="http://www.californiaconservative.org/index.php">California Conservative</a> [and that's not an oxymoron...there are a lot of us conservatives here in California trying to wrestle our state out of the hands of the commies....most of whom are not native Californians anyway...think Pelosi here]<br />
 <u>You have to love it</u>:<br />
 <br />
<img alt="michelleobama_UPSCALEnAffluent.jpg" src="http://www.christmasghost.com/archives/michelleobama_UPSCALEnAffluent.jpg" width="242" height="320" /></p>

<p> Read the whole terribly ironic story <a href="http://www.californiaconservative.org/index.php">here.</a>..my favorite line?<br />
 <blockquote>"The publication describes itself as a provider of “business and entertainment news, health, beauty, and lifestyle information for <u>African Americans*</u>.” Their motto: Living The Affluent Lifestyle."</blockquote></p>

<p> Hubris and <strong>ginormous ego</strong> trump common sense once again................</p>

<p> * for the rest of us...not so much.....my personal commentary</p>

<p> <strong>UPDATE</strong>..... and speaking of elitist liberals here is another example of slight-of-hand-the-sky -is-green nonsense that passes for reality in the new democratic party:<br />
 From <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/22/opinion/22brooks.html?ex=1377144000&en=d50a14dbeb006f7a&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink">David Brooks</a>:<br />
 <blockquote> <strong>Biden is a lunch-bucket Democrat</strong>. His father was rich when he was young — played polo, cavorted on yachts, drove luxury cars. But through a series of bad personal and business decisions, he was broke by the time Joe Jr. came along. They lived with their in-laws in Scranton, Pa., then moved to a dingy working-class area in Wilmington, Del. At one point, the elder Biden cleaned boilers during the week and sold pennants and knickknacks at a farmer’s market on the weekends.</blockquote><br />
 Okay...what exactly makes <strong>Slow Joe </strong>a "lunch bucket" democrat again? Was it the polo ponies or the pissed away fortune? Or was it the fact that daddy...once he "lost" his money didn't have the fortitude to get back up and regain it? Is it just me, or is Joe Biden even more of a tool by birth? Because rumor has it...Joe isn't so good with money either...<br />
 I'm just sayin'.........<br />
 And just when you thought <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/22/opinion/22brooks.html?ex=1377144000&en=d50a14dbeb006f7a&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink">David Brooks </a>couldn't appear more idiotic...he does.The real money shot/quote?<br />
 <blockquote>Biden’s weaknesses are on the surface. He has said a number of idiotic things over the years and, in the days following his selection, those snippets would be aired again and again.</p>

<p>But that won’t hurt all that much because voters are smart enough to forgive the genuine flaws of <strong>genuine people</strong>.</blockquote><br />
 Oh, good to know. So it's "Genuine Joe" now is it?<br />
 That's a laugh.......</p>]]></description>

<title>FOX News Takes Hard Left And Goes Completely Gutless.......</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I guess it's not just my imagination......FOX news <strong>is in the tank for Obama</strong>. <br />
Why else would they refuse to run this <u>completely accurate</u> ad?<br />
 How can anyone forget that Rupert "Obama's a rock star" Murdoch seems to have a soft spot for Obama?<br />
 How can any of us forget that just like his billionaire pal George Soros...he isn't an American either. So we have non Americans and America haters like Billy "the bomber" Ayers all doing the same job. <br />
Covering up for Obama......<br />
 Gee....I wonder what they are up to???<br />
 <em>Rhetorical</em>........<br />
What better "Manchurian" candidate could a couple of  un-American billionaires and a nasty little domestic terrorist hope for than the ultimate emty suit/empty head Obama. Talk about easy to control.......after all when you not only know where the bodies are buried but you put them there yourself it gets pretty simple .....<br />
  Many thanks to <a href="http://www.hyscience.com/">Hyscience </a>for the tip.</p>

<title>Barack Hussein Obama: Missing The Human Being Gene…..</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Watch this video and tell me that you aren’t appalled…<em>I dare you</em>…and if you aren’t appalled then you may be missing the same gene for common sense and kindness and humanity that Obama is…and don’t they abort helpless fetuses for missing genes?<br />
 Just a thought.<br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VIdbYjmbFzo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VIdbYjmbFzo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>

<p>I am pro life for a reason.<br />
 Actually, many reasons, not the least of which is that <strong>there is absolutely no excuse or actual need for abortion. Ever.</strong><br />
I do not base my position on religion I base it on <strong>science, reality and decency</strong>. In this day and age, where there are more birth control methods than you can shake a stick at…and they all work exceptionally well; <u>abortion is as valid as an iron lung</u>.<br />
 But abortion is very, very <strong>big business</strong>. Planned Parenthood….. and Obama is nothing more than their puppet…. makes vast sums of money from the abortions they perform…and your tax dollars are paying for it. Aside from the fact that abortion is appallingly cruel to the mother not to mention the <strike>victim</strike> infant involved…it is a medical procedure that should join the barbaric ranks of blood letting and arsenic tonics.<br />
 And it makes very, <a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/MaggieGallagher/2008/04/22/is_planned_parenthood_above_the_law">very bad people</a> rich or ,worse still <strong><em>elected</em></strong>……….<br />
<blockquote> "The Planned Parenthood Action Fund is promising to spend $10 million this election cycle. "These donations come even as Planned Parenthood is defending itself against a range of civil and criminal complaints in several states, and critics charge that the organization is trying to buy influence in Congress," notes ABC News.</p>

<p>It's a smart investment for an affluent organization (a budget surplus of $114 million and assets of more than $1 billion) that gets more than one-third of its income, or almost $337 million in 2006, from the taxpayers. "</blockquote><br />
I have never found even one person, medical or otherwise, who could explain to me, for instance, how late term partial birth abortion ever saves anyone’s “life”.<br />
 The fact is that a baby’s head is the largest part of his body so after it is delivered sticking  a pair of scissors into the base of the baby’s skull to kill the baby saves the mother how? If she could deliver the head, then guess what? The hard part is over.<br />
 This isn’t about the mother’s safety…have you heard of cesareans?......this is about convenience and expediency….and murder. Cold blooded, unnecessary murder. Murder of a human being because someone had the opinion that that particular human being was inconvenient, unnecessary, and unwanted….<br />
 And these people …. the same ones that murder innocent children….  in the height of hypocrisy, will stand outside a prison in a candlelight vigil for a <u>convicted murderer</u>.<br />
 But hey, he’s one of their own by definition…<strong>he chose to take an innocent life too</strong>….and creeps always seem to stick together don’t they?<br />
 Being pro-life <u>isn’t about religion</u>, and people who make it about religion are not helping to end the practice of abortion. Being pro-life is about being humane and decent and honest about the realities involved. <br />
<u>Being pro-life is as American as apple pie.</u><br />
 Perhaps that’s why Barack Hussein Obama just doesn’t get it……….</p>]]></description>

<title>Political Suicide At Saddleback.................</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Well, to my regular readers who have graciously kept reading my old stuff while I wasn’t writing anything new…thank you.<br />
 Sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging…<em>as it should</em>, I might add.<br />
 I had amazing guests who were charming, interesting and <em>very liberal</em>. They are editors from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Now before you get either too creeped out, or too impressed by this, depending on which side of the fence you are on, I must admit that they are related to me.<br />
 Yes…I know, hard to imagine.<br />
But it brings up something everyone should think about. Just because someone has a differing point of view from your own does not make them bad people. I am old enough to remember when people weren’t polarized socially and politically, the way they are now. That really began during the Clinton years, yes, the same Clintons that are masters of lies, spin and nasty partisanship at its worst.<br />
 We are not separate tribes,as the petty partisans would have you believe, we are all Americans.<br />
 There are exceptions to this true enough, some people aren’t Americans in the real sense and those are the people I do have a problem with.<br />
 But just a differing opinion? <br />
No….because if you think about it that is what Obama and his cronies are all about. He wants to shut down all dissenting opinions. If you disagree with him you are a <strong>racist, a bigot, a moron</strong>….. <br />
Which just makes my point for me…. these people <em>aren’t</em> Americans. <strong>Real Americans</strong>  never want to shut down free speech. Spin it anyway you want, but that is the kindest way I could say it. Obama is no more an <strong>American patriot</strong> than William “mainstream politics according to Barack” Ayers. And Obama is a classic example of the type of person everyone should have a problem with….and it has very little to do with his differing “opinions” and everything to do with his <strong><em>actual beliefs</em>.</strong> He wants to change America alright….right into a Marxist regime with him as the little dictator. <br />
 Obama’s true colors were really showing during the Saddleback forum…..much to liberal pastor Rick Warren’s dismay. You could see it all over Warren’s face every time Obama shot himself in the foot which happened so often he must have been using an automatic weapon….<u>his big un-teleprompted mouth</u>.<br />
 What an idiot! I couldn’t believe the rambling nonsensical moronic non-answers that he kept giving, in between the bumper sticker slogans that virtually flew out of his mouth. Nonsensical ones at that. He never answered even one question directly [or at all] except for the <em>screamingly amusing</em> one about who the wisest people he knew were….Mom[I’m embarrassed to be seen with her] Granny [the typical white person] and Teddy “the murderer” Kennedy. Now that was funny….<strong>chillingly dense,</strong> but still snort-worthy funny.<br />
 However, I rapidly lost track of the blatant lies he told. And the many, many times he bragged about decisions he made and positions he took that have been proven wrong, wrong, wrong…<br />
 But still he brags.<br />
 He is so arrogant that he really believes that if he tells you the sky is green you will nod happily and believe every word. Too bad he didn’t get the memo that the old Marxist tricks really don’t work like they used to. People can think for themselves, and make their own decisions. Something he and his minions would love to put a stop to by the way.<br />
But Americans, <em>real Americans</em>, can never forget for even a moment that Barack Hussein Obama thinks so little of the American people that he thinks you are too stupid to see his lies and if you do see them, he thinks you are too <strong>gutless</strong> to do anything about it. <strong>He sneers down his nose at America, brim full of arrogance and ignorance in equal measure and not much else.</strong><br />
 "Empty suit" doesn’t even begin to cover it……..<br />
 This man wouldn’t be hired to be CEO of Starbucks and he sure as hell isn’t qualified to run the most powerful nation on earth.<br />
 And then during the discussion, my favorite line of his was “our politics <strong>IS </strong>so broken…”<br />
 “is”?<br />
 He went from folksy to just illiterate in minutes. Without a teleprompter he is lost…….<br />
 He would be putty in Vlad “the assailer” Putin’s hands.<br />
 But Obama is a master of the big lie…the one thing he doesn’t need the teleprompter for. Because, as with most narcissistic people he is never wrong, so the lies just come naturally. Not realistically, mind you, but quite naturally because he obviously believes his own PR.<br />
 Putin sure wouldn’t…<em>not for a moment.</em><br />
 Outright lies, veiled half truths, and just leaving out the truth completely as  when he said he had worked in a bipartisan way with John McCain on a bill and then “forgot” to tell the audience that he not only stabbed McCain in the back but destroyed the bill too…..and his favorite excuse? “I was new to politics.”<br />
 Can you imagine what horrendous screw-ups he would try and cover with that lame line if he were president?<br />
 Yes…it is a chilling thought. Keep it in mind this November…………<br />
 As commenter JCM so accurately said on LGF “I was exchanging ideas with Barack, now my mind is blank.”<br />
 Funny but chillingly true too……..<br />

<title> Yes, I know this is from June..................</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p> ....But I am just too busy to really write anything today so I thought I would put this excellent article up for your perusal.............. if you haven't read this already please do now, and if you have read it, isn't it time for another look at it?<br />
 What Rich Carroll wrote back on June 16th almost seems prophetic now doesn't it?<br />
 Especially in the light of the news of some of Obama's fund raisers in <strong><em>GAZA</em>.</strong><br />
 It's definitely <strong>a thinker</strong>............<br />
 And so are these websites. <br />
FOX News wants to know who is "suppressing" the moderate Muslims.<br />
 Well, <strong>if </strong>they exist [and I don't think they do], here's a big hint:<br />
 <a href="http://www.khilafah.com/kcom/analysis/america/us-bases-cannot-prevent-the-return-of-the-khilafah.html">www.khilafah.com</a></p>

<p> <a href="http://moderatesrefuted.wordpress.com/about-us-and-our-open-declaration/">moderate muslims refuted</a></p>

The Jihad Candidate<br />
By <a href="http://www.chronwatch-america.com/blogs/988/The-Jihad-Candidate.html">Rich Carroll </a>| Published  06/16/2008<br />
       <blockquote>Conspiracy theories make for interesting novels when the storyline is not so absurd that it can grasp our attention. ''The Manchurian Candidate'' and ''Seven Days in May'' are examples of plausible chains of events that captures the reader's imagination at best-seller level.  ''What if'' has always been the solid grist of fiction.<br />
 <br />
       Get yourself something cool to drink, find a relaxing position, but before you continue, visualize the television photos of two jet airliners smashing into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan and remind yourself this cowardly act of Muslim terror was planned for eight years.<br />
 <br />
       How long did it take Islam and their oil money to find a candidate for President of the United States? As long as it took them to place a senator from Illinois and Minnesota?  The same amount of time to create a large Muslim enclave in Detroit?  The time it took them to build over 2,000 mosques in America?  The same amount of time required to place radical wahabbist clerics in our military and prisons as 'chaplains'?<br />
 <br />
        Find a candidate who can get away with lying about their father being a ''freedom fighter'' when he was actually part of the most corrupt and violent government in Kenya's history.  Find a candidate with close ties to The Nation of Islam and the violent Muslim overthrow in Africa, a candidate who is educated among white infidel Americans but hides his bitterness and anger behind a superficial toothy smile. Find a candidate who changes his American name of Barry to the Muslim name of Barack Hussein Obama, and dares anyone to question his true ties under the banner of ''racism.''  Nurture this candidate in an atmosphere of anti-white American teaching and surround him with Islamic teachers.  Provide him with a bitter, racist, anti-white, anti-American wife, and supply him with Muslim middle east connections and Islamic monies.  Allow him to be clever enough to get away with his anti-white rhetoric and proclaim he will give $834 billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim controlled United Nations for use in Africa.<br />
 <br />
        Install your candidate in an atmosphere of deception, because questioning him on any issue involving Africa or Islam would be seen as ''bigoted racism''; two words too powerful to allow the citizenry to be informed of facts.  Allow your candidate to employ several black racist Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan followers as members of his Illinois Senatorial and campaign staffs.<br />
 <br />
       Where is the bloodhound American ''free press'' who doggedly overturned every stone in the Watergate case? Where are our nation's reporters that have placed every P\presidential candidate under the microscope of detailed scrutiny; the same press who pursue Bush's ''Skull and Bones'' club or ran other candidates off with persistent detective and research work?  Why haven't ''newsmen'' pursued the 65 blatant lies told by this candidate during the Presidential primaries?  Where are the stories about this candidate's cousin and the Muslim butchery in Africa?  Since when did our national press corps become weak, timid, and silent?  Why haven't they regaled us with the long list of socialists and communists who have surrounded this ''out of nowhere'' Democrat candidate or the fact that his church re-printed the Hamas Manifesto in their bulletin, and that his ''close pastor friend and mentor'' met with Middle East terrorist Muammar Qaddafi, (Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)?  Why isn't the American press telling us this candidate is supported by every Muslim organization in the world?<br />
 <br />
       As an ultimate slap in the face, be blatant in the fact your candidate has ZERO interest in traditional American values and has the most liberal voting record in U.S. Senate history.  Why has the American mainstream media clammed up on any negative reporting on Barak Hussein Obama?  Why will they print Hillary Rodham Clinton's name but never write his middle name?  Is it not his name?  Why, suddenly, is ANY information about this candidate not coming from mainstream media, but from the blogosphere by citizens seeking facts and the truth?  Why isn't our media connecting the dots with Islam?  Why do they focus on 'those bad American soldiers' while Islam slaughters non-Muslims daily in 44 countries around the globe?  Why does our media refer to Darfur as ''ethnic cleansing'' instead of what it really is: Muslims killing non-Muslims!  There is enough strange, anti-American activity surrounding Barack Hussein Obama to pique the curiosity of any reporter. WHERE IS OUR INVESTIGATIVE MEDIA?<br />
 <br />
       A formal plan for targeting America was devised three years after the Iranian revolution in 1982.  The plan was summarized in a 1991 memorandum by Mohammed Akram, an operative of the global Muslim Brotherhood.  ''The process of settlement'' of Muslims in America, Akram explained, ''is a civilization jihad process.''  This means that members of the Brotherhood must understand that their work in ''America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions.''<br />
 <br />
       There is terrorism we can see, smell and fear, but there is a new kind of terror invading T\the United States in the form of Sharia law and finance. Condoning it is civilization suicide. Middle East Muslims are coming to America in record numbers and building hate infidel mosques, buying our corporations, suing us for our traditions, but they and the whole subject of Islam is white noise leaving uninformed Americans about who and what is really peaceful.  Where is our investigative press?  Any criticism of Islam or their intentions, even though Islamic leaders state their intentions daily around the globe, brings forth a volley of ''racist'' from the left-wing Democrat crowd.<br />
 <br />
        Lies and deception behind a master plan--the ingredients for ''The Manchurian Candidate'' or the placement of an anti-American President in our nation's White House?  Is it mere coincidence that an anti-capitalist run for president at the same time Islamic Sharia finance and law is trying to make advancing strides into the United States?  Is it mere coincidence this same candidate wants to disarm our nuclear capability at a time when terrorist Muslim nations are expanding their nuclear weapons capability?  Is it mere coincidence that this candidate wants to reduce our military at a time of global jihad from Muslim nations?<br />
 <br />
       Change for America?  What change?  To become another ''nation of Islam''?</blockquote></p>]]></description>

<title>Random House….randomly chicken.</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If this isn’t a case in point about businesses doing the dhimmy-shimmy I don’t know what is. Random House, as far as I know, has never worried about offending anyone before….as long as they are Christians or Jews or Republicans or Americans.<br />
 A little advice for Random House as they join the list of other fools [Tyson foods anyone?] bending over backwards to kiss the islamofascist’s arses….they are not the only publishers on the planet…even though they <em>may </em>be the largest. Which makes the story of them refusing to publish a book about <a href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/02/prophet-mohammed-is-creepy-devil.html">The Perv’s</a> youngest bride all the more appalling. Add to that that Random House’s original founder was Jewish and now his former company is kowtowing to 7th century morons hell bent on destroying America and Israel and it becomes just plain sickening. <br />
 Bennet Cerf would be so ashamed of what his company has become under the ownership of the cowering Germans….after all he published Ayn Rand’s book “Atlas Shrugged” even though he completely disagreed with her on everything.<br />
 But then, he wasn’t <em><strong>a coward</strong></em>……<br />
 Random house is also the publisher of the works of Dr. Seuss…and can anyone with children imagine a world without his books? Now think about his irreverently funny books…how about the Grinch’s sidekick Max? He’s a <strong>dog</strong>. <br />
What about the holiday that the Grinch tries to do away with? <strong>Christmas</strong>?<br />
 Aren’t all of the above super duper offensive to our little Muslim “friends”?<br />
 Yep…you betcha they are.<br />
 So are these books next? No more copies printed?<br />
 Slippery slope…..meet Random House………….<br />
 <br />
 Read the entire chilling story here at <a href="http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/08/06/clueless-dhimmitude-and-denise-spellberg/">Stop The ACLU</a>….and then be sure to send a polite but firm email to the head of Ms.Spellberg’s department about her doing more teaching and less tattling.<br />
 Although her doing <strong>any</strong> “teaching” is a chilling thought too, isn’t it?<br />
 Check out her recent publications……..<br />
 <blockquote>Recent Publications: <br />
Politics, Gender, and the Islamic Past: The Legacy of `A'isha bint Abi Bakr (Columbia University Press, 1994); "Writing the Unwritten Life of the Islamic Eve: Menstruation and the Demonization of Motherhood," International Journal of Middle East Studies 28 (1996): 305-324; "Inventing Matamoras: Gender and the Forgotten Islamic Past in the United States of America," Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies 25 (2004): 148-164; "<strong>Could a Muslim Be President? </strong>An Eighteenth-Century Constitutional Debate," Eighteenth-Century Studies 39 (2006): 485-506.</blockquote><br />
 Yep…..it’s a mind bender. Since she is so into women’s studies you would think that Islam would be something she wouldn’t be that fond of considering the fact that women wouldn’t be allowed in any of her classes, and in reality she wouldn’t be allowed to be a professor....not to mention that whole <strong><em>stoning to death, forced marriages and "honor" killings.</em></strong><br />
 But <strong>if</strong> she was this is what her graduating class would look like…….</p>

<p> <br />

<title>San Fran Nan…The Tyrant.</title>

 *This is what crazy looks like*</p>

<p><br />
Those of us with functioning brains have known for a very long time that Nancy Pelosi is a power mad control freak. But her latest “escapades” are outrageous <strong>even</strong> for her.<br />
 She can’t be <em>bothered </em>to do the people’s business and follow their will because she has, and I am quoting now, <u>“a planet to save”</u>?<br />
 I<em>s she serious?</em><br />
 After she said it in that dotty, “<u>I’ve had waaaay too much botox</u>” way of hers, I half expected her to throw on a cape and fly out the window like the crazy moonbat that she is.<br />
 Cindy Sheehan seems <em>almost</em> normal in comparison….and that’s pretty scary.<br />
 Obviously Nancy Pelosi has never come in even remote contact with that funny document the rest of us call The Constitution.<br />
 This silly charade that the <strong>new</strong> democrats [think <strong>new</strong> as in <strong>New Black Panther party</strong>…] have been putting on is over. It’s time to just come out of the socialist closet they have been “hiding” in and just buck up and put that big red “<strong>S</strong>” after  their candidates names. After all, they aren’t fooling anyone anymore and haven’t for a very long time.<br />
 Nancy’s big foot-in-mouth moment was the last giveaway for even the dimmest bulbs…because nothing, <strong>just nothing</strong> says democracy like <u>not allowing people to vote</u>. Insert <em>massive</em> sarcasm here...<br />
 Because Nancy just knows better……….. <br />
 And this is why the “new” democrats put Barack Hussein Obama up as their candidate du jour……he is an idiot that is completely lacking in any accomplishments other than the huge ego, creepy friends.….and socialist plans to destroy our country.<br />
 It's more than time for every American to stand up and say enough!<br />
 Drill here, drill now...and someone please put Nancy in the institution that she is actually suited for.....Napa State.<br />
 <br />

<title>An American Soldier&apos;s Point Of View.........</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p> This was sent to me and I have deleted the names for the soldier's safety and peace of mind. He doesn't need any of B. Hussein Obama's "surrogates" coming after him after all, he has enough on his plate providing <strong>freedom</strong> for the <strong>arrogant ass</strong> that wants to be president.............<br />
 </p>

<blockquote>Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 3:58 PM
Subject: Note home from Afghanistan

<p>First report from Afghanistan</p>

<p>I don't know each of your personal political convictions, and apologize<br />
if anyone finds this offensive.  I thought it was important<br />
enough to  share.  This is (......) first hand view of Senator Obama.<br />
                                  (.......)</p>

<p>Hello everyone,<br />
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted<br />
to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for<br />
about an hour on his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with<br />
you what happened.  He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof<br />
vehicle,<br />
got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the<br />
commander here at Bagram.</p>

<p>As the Soldiers were lined up to shake his hand he blew<br />
them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room<br />
to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the<br />
ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play<br />
basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity<br />
pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to<br />
Soldiers to thank them for their service.</p>

<p>So really he was just here to make a showing for the<br />
American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that<br />
if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you<br />
would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are<br />
providing for you.</p>

<p>I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players<br />
or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators,<br />
who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't<br />
understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was<br />
almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom<br />
for him and our great country.</p>

<p>If this is blunt and to the point I am<br />
sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he<br />
really is. What you see in the news is all fake.</p>

<p>In service,</p>

<p>(.................)<br />
(....................)<br />
TF (...............)<br />
American Soldier</blockquote></p>

<p> <u>As this soldier so accurately stated </u>..."<strong>What you see in the news is all fake</strong>."</p>

<p> But then Obama has stated that he wants to shred our military...so is it surprising that he despises our military personnel? B. Hussein Obama is nothing more than Cindy Sheehan <em>in drag..</em>.............</p>

<p>  <strong>UPDATE.</strong>..........<br />
 I just merrily swiped this from <a href="http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/07/25/mccain-obama-fails-the-test-on-judgement/">Stop The ACLU..</a>  and it is a <strong>must read</strong>...especially following this soldier's letter............</p>

<p>  <u> From Senator John McCain</u></p>

<p>    <blockquote> Senator Obama and I also faced a decision, which amounted to a real-time test for a future commander-in-chief. America passed that test. I believe my judgment passed that test. And I believe Senator Obama’s failed.<br />
    We both knew the politically safe choice was to support some form of retreat. All the polls said the “surge” was unpopular. Many pundits, experts and policymakers opposed it and advocated withdrawing our troops and accepting the consequences. I chose to support the new counterinsurgency strategy backed by additional troops — which I had advocated since 2003, after my first trip to Iraq. Many observers said my position would end my hopes of becoming president. I said I would rather lose a campaign than see America lose a war. My choice was not smart politics. It didn’t test well in focus groups. It ignored all the polls. It also didn’t matter. The country I love had one final chance to succeed in Iraq. The new strategy was it. So I supported it. Today, the effects of the new strategy are obvious. The surge has succeeded, and we are, at long last, finally winning this war.</p>

<p>    Senator Obama made a different choice. He not only opposed the new strategy, but actually tried to prevent us from implementing it. He didn’t just advocate defeat, he tried to legislate it. When his efforts failed, he continued to predict the failure of our troops. As our soldiers and Marines prepared to move into Baghdad neighborhoods and Anbari villages, Senator Obama predicted that their efforts would make the sectarian violence in Iraq worse, not better.</p>

<p>    And as our troops took the fight to the enemy, Senator Obama tried to cut off funding for them. He was one of only 14 senators to vote against the emergency funding in May 2007 that supported our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. …</p>

<p>    Three weeks after Senator Obama voted to deny funding for our troops in the field, General Ray Odierno launched the first major combat operations of the surge. Senator Obama declared defeat one month later: “My assessment is that the surge has not worked and we will not see a different report eight weeks from now.” His assessment was popular at the time. But it couldn’t have been more wrong.</p>

<p>More…</p>

<p>    Senator Obama told the American people what he thought you wanted to hear. I told you the truth.</p>

<p>    Fortunately, Senator Obama failed, not our military. We rejected the audacity of hopelessness, and we were right. Violence in Iraq fell to such low levels for such a long time that Senator Obama, detecting the success he never believed possible, falsely claimed that he had always predicted it. … In Iraq, we are no longer on the doorstep of defeat, but on the road to victory.</p>

<p>    Senator Obama said this week that even knowing what he knows today that he still would have opposed the surge. In retrospect, given the opportunity to choose between failure and success, he chooses failure. I cannot conceive of a Commander in Chief making that choice.</blockquote></p>]]></description>
