"First, we need to be aware of the problem of indiscriminate submission to authority....
Second, since we know men will comply, even with the most malevolent authorities, we have a
special obligation to place in positions of authority those most likely to be humane and
wise." This is reasonable advice, but in both respects easier said than done.
Mitochondria holds the key to our evolution and maybe also the key to why we only live so
long and bacteria doesn't die NATURALLY, it just clones (it dies by accident, or antibiotics
kill it) AND though we technically die thermodynamically; there is equilibrium, although we
dissipate as energy back to the environment.
The life that means anything to us is DNA significant and includes some kind of
consciousness. Some scientists are now re-interpreting entropy; that is, the second law, and
our predilection for heat and energy as `purposefulness.'... Life is most definitely not a
bowl of cherries, but neither is it without its rewards. The rewards may not be entirely
ours though. It may belong to bacteria who came here to seed the planet (panspermia) and
harvest our tissue. While we look beyond the earth for extra-terrestrials and exoplanets, we
might not need to look beyond our own host bodies for life which is manipulating our
behavior and how we conform to the laws of thermodynamics.
Obama has made misstatements which he is now defending. He says he knows why people are
bitter. I'm annoyed at his elitism and his condescension and skewed dysfunctional
understanding about Americans because the media has never adequately vetted him. Now the
truth is being revealed quite by accident and it may be too late... The real Obama has an
anti-progressive-regressive-admiration for governance and an elitist and privileged
perspective which is not shared with most Americans, not most Democrats or Republicans.
The world has shrunk to a village and now there will be more outbreaks of disease and
plague. Washing our hands won't protect us. Neither will immune systems which have never
been tested.
To put this in a little bit of a larger context, I mean, once again we have seen that
Senator Obama is a perfect manifestation of a September 10th mindset. He brings the
attitude, the failures of judgment, the weakness and the misunderstanding of the nature of
our adversary and the dangers posed by them to a series of policy positions.
So what is different about us? We're not chosen to be better. We are not the end all of
perfection. Far from it. We are highly flawed. Our design is rife with badly formed parts.
The construction could have been much better. But compared to other mammals at least, we are
tailless, we are bipedal primates, and we have larger brains relative to body mass, and we
have opposable thumbs - but other than that, we are not much different and many of our parts
certainly not original.
We are also being told to "forget experience" and rely on Obama's instincts. Where was his
instincts with his friend of 17 years, Tony Rezko, who is now in jail - and the low cost
housing unions his friend left in such disaray he had to walk away from them and people were
left without heat during the winter and Obama never noticed - or the extra lot for his $1.6
million mansion which Rezko sold to Obama hundreds of thousands of dollars below cost.
Free Radical leakage is the cause of oxidative stress. It is just oxygen so why should it be
so dangerous? Because oxygen is dangerous. Before there was multicellular life on the planet
there was no oxygen. Oxygen accumulated in the atmosphere as a bacterial waste product. It
is the reason things burn. Remove the oxygen from a fire and it goes out. Provide too much
oxygen and everything burns; it becomes combustible. It is sold as a treatment for beauty;
it is the "elixir of life" and there are "oxygen bars" and health clinics where it is hailed
as a miracle therapy. There are some charlatans who promote it as a cure for cancer. But in
fact oxygen keeps us breathing and alive now but eventually will kill us.
Like many prophets of that time, Muhammad had visions... He preached in Mecca from 612 to
622 and only recruited in all that time a few dozen followers but he was mostly mocked by
the other people of Mecca. Today if someone talked to angels and had visions they would be
prescribed lithium. In Muhammad's day they made him a prophet. Muhammad had hallucinations;
he was delusional and 1.400 years later his sermons are a religion with a billion misguided,
delusional, Jew-hating followers.
It is the BIG LIE that there is a "cycle of violence" and it is a direct result of Israel's
military attacks on Palestinians. Everyone knows there is no Israeli cycle of violence
against Palestinians. If the Palestinians stopped their suicide bombings and their rocket
attacks, all of the violence would stop. If Israelis stopped using their military, no one
seriously believes suicide bombings would cease.
Violence was rampant during all periods of human history. Crusaders often roasted babies
alive, even Christian babies when the local folk did not speak their language so they
considered them heathens to whom they showed NO mercy. They sliced and diced the adults and
roasted infants on spits. If they had cameras they would have sent home pictures of their
vile "human-animal" deeds.

"At the moment, you can hardly distinguish between the very far right wing and the very far
left wing...Until 1989, anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism were taboo in Germany. These
views found space on the left and on the far right. In the middle of society, they were
hidden in the signals and phrases communicated in the subtext. Now, due to the new
international constellation, the taboo has broken down and these ideas can be found in the
mainstream."
Our very existence is predicated on access to resources, but while our human need appears to
be infinite, resources are however limited and indeed as finite as is our human sojourn on
this planet. Like the 99.99% of all species that preceded us, we too will eventually cease
to be and we will undoubtedly also contribute, if not entirely, to the cause of our
extinction, as well as to the extinction of other species. Freedom is never free. There is
the subverted freedom to exploit and the unvirtuous freedom from want but our wants are
always someone else's needs. Our avaricious competition for resources and our insatiable
appetite for power is as devastating as it is costly. And freedom is always ephemeral.
He is deceased but are his ideas also dead? I think not. In spite of the growing body of
criticism, the ideas of Sigmund Freud still manage to live on and to influence us for his
deep introspection and insightful analysis into the depths of our psyche of what can only be
called man's confusion about his own mind.
He says serial liars without power are sometimes amusing, but those with power are a problem
and a danger. He calls it the "audacity of his deception" referring to Obama's falsehoods,
both the big ones and the small ones as a campaign to "lie and deceive with distinctively
nauseating chutzpah again and again and again."
This is not education to terror, insist those preachers, because this is only the Qur'anic
'intimidation', which is permitted by Islamic law against hypocrites, seculars and rebels,
and cannot be considered an aggression or injustice towards anyone, and is solely intended
to 'elevate the Word of Allah and spread His religion'. In other words, anything sanctioned
by the Qur'an is ipso facto 'kosher' and cannot be disputed or challenged on human, legal or
moral grounds. Just use the right word, 'intimidation' instead of 'terror', and you have
made it into the fold of the human race.
In attempting to convert Iran into an "Islamic society," the regime has suppressed people for
the past 20 years. Despite this, it has not been successful in imposing its will on the
people. The people of Iran are being killed for defending Iran from becoming an Islamic
society. They will not surrender in this fight...Iran is not an Islamic society...The truth is
that in Iran sexual apartheid and oppression of people rules.
This is about extremism and regardless how you (or I) feel about Obama, this is definitely
wrong and typical of an excessive and pervasive level of ignorance and mindless, bigoted
extremism which is an existential threat to democracy and to the well-being and preservation
of life and peace in America and globally. On the one hand there is money which controls how
the world goes around and on the other hand there is propaganda which is controlled by racism,
personal agendas and ignorance.
"It is clear that socialism cannot be rebuilt in a single country. Workers pushing too hard
for higher wages in Michigan will simply see their jobs disappear to Guadalajara or Penang.
Only if all workers around the world were unionized, pushing simultaneously for a global rise
in wages, would companies be unable to play off one group of workers against another. Karl
Marx's exhortation "Workers of the world, unite!" has never seemed more apt."
SOME Jews are incapable of deluding themselves that Obama would be the most resolute candidate
in defending Israel. In quiet moments of contemplation and in noisy debates with family
members and friends, they worry about the tenuous nature of Israel's existence and the dangers
which lurk from within and outside Israel's borders. These Jews cannot imagine a world without
Israel and could not countenance election of a president who, in Israel's moment of peril,
could well falter.
Think about it for a moment or two. What if John McCain had the kind of association with the
Klu Klux Klan that Barack Obama has with the Nation of Islam or some of the other associates
mentioned herein above, Would you vote for him? Would he even be the nominee of either party?
If your words contradict or are unsupported by what you did before the Presidential race, then
you are not what you say you are, right? In order to find that out I attempted to examine whom
you hang out with, what words you and your friends were saying in private and in public and
how all that can affect our lives...I can't imagine being a Jew and voting Obama. I can't
imagine being an Israeli supporter and voting Obama either. I can’t imagine voting Obama
period.
Yes, "insane" - because it is insane to question the existence of the State of Israel if you
are a Jew --- although it is perfectly acceptable to be critical of Israeli policy -- and
therein lies a problem because those I debate often times do not distinguish between Israeli
policy and Israel's existence. They are just as critical of Israel being there and that is
AntiSemitic just as much if a Jew says it, just as it is if a non-Jew says it.
When it suits him he is a gun-tottin, NAFTA hating (secretly loving NAFTA and CAFTA), a
"red-neck" which comes in two colors, both white or black (that is, whatever works) and he is
even more Jewish than the Jews when speaking to AIPAC. Obama flip-flops around all the issues,
FLIP or FLOP on real issues and will say anything when the timing is right, to get
nominated... The only real alternative is "straight talking" McCain after over a year of
putting up with Obama's gymnastic flip flops with the truth. He can shift change so well he
would be a shoo-in in a political Olympics if they had an event for the most convincing liars.
It is "as-if" the powerful don't care anymore who knows what they intend to do to keep
inequality the status quo and injustice the standard. And it is also astonishingly obvious
that so many people are either oblivious and duped into going along with their own oppression
and the ruling classes' disregard for international law, or they are simply willing to become
followers and at times even willing to disregard the flagrant misconduct of their leaders,
like those "good Germans" who went along with the lawlessness of the Third Reich.
Terrorism is a virulent Islamic fanatical hatred of non-Muslims. Americans also have an
obsession for oil, which we need to keep us in the manner to which we have become accustomed
and the Jews, as usual, somehow got stuck right in the middle of it - when it would have been
far better if they settled in Miami Beach instead of Jerusalem. Obama owes favors to his
Islamic pro-Palestinian, Muslim friends if he becomes president, and George W. Bush is waiting
for rapture so there is nothing happening here that is not according to _the_ plan.
...[T]errorism is a world-wide phenomenon which poses a very real threat to our lives here in
America, Europe and the Middle East. It won't go away by ignoring it. It won't go away with an
Israeli-Palestinian solution to their conflict. It won't go away until this tactic of suicide
bombing and roadside bombs and flying airplanes into building is defeated because our resolve
to defeat them is greater than their irrational belief in jihadism and dying for Allah.
In cold blood using a pistol and another murder weapon, a father had been planning and looking
for an opportunity to kill his daughter since 1998. It is shocking but true. Why? What had
Fadima done? Her crime was nothing but behaving in an un-Islamic manner. She had killed no
one, had robbed nobody and had not hurt or abused anyone or anything.
We should always be concerned about the anti-Israel rhetoric because it escalates. Protesting
the war in Iraq, at anti-war rallies, there were inflammatory anti-Israel statements and some
Jews, who expected it, did not go to the rallies for this reason. The organizers of some of
the antiwar protests have equated Zionism with Nazism and some groups which were involved in
the demonstrations were also calling for the destruction of Israel, something which is heard
on Internet mailing lists all to often.
Obama is an opportunist. He says what he needs to say for political expediency. Obama is the
sore which is infecting the Democratic Party. He said Iran was no big deal and then at AIPAC
he FLIPS and says it is...Since when do we recognize the claims of terrorists? These are the
people he also wants to negotiate with; not just countries, but terrorist organizations raised
to the level of legitimacy by Barack Obama. These are organizations who have as their
objective the destruction of western civilization and modernity.
These murderous acts have nothing to do with suicide. They are the actions of premeditated
religious fanatics, and in their own words, it is "The Holy War of Islam-Death in
Martyrdom-The Promised Hereafter-By Means of Muslim Kamikaze-who are Human Bombs" and indeed
that is the entire story. It is not and cannot in any way be considered an act of bravery or
courage; it is an act of shame and cowardice.
"Obama wants it both ways, has always wanted it both ways. Black and white, Indonesian and
American, Muslim and Christian. He loves playing one off the other, using one to hide the
other even as the traces of the truth may be assembled to reveal the whole cloth of deception
and self-promotion he has been weaving so skillfully since his childhood. No wonder he is a
man of change. He IS a changeling, a veritable chameleon, adapting and amending his life story
to fit the circumstances."
Many of these same blacks liked Bill Clinton before Obama got into the race and Obama accused
Clinton of playing the race card. He never did and it has been Obama who has been using race
through the process. He would say, "that is Chicago politics sweetie. We play rough in
Chicago." Just ask Alice Palmer.
Barack Obama has not always been a Christian, if he is even one now - for which I have my
doubts. He is deceitful. He has lied about his many associations with known criminals, with
pro-Palestinian Arabs, with terrorists (like Ayers). The Islamists have been saying they will
destroy America from within - for as long as Hitler said in Mein kampf he would murder the
Jews. We all know how that turned out.
A depraved, murderous dictator, Saddam squandered his people's natural wealth; he took one of
the Arab world's more educated and industrious peoples and stamped out their freedom,
creativity, joy of life, even life itself. This Arab "hero" subjected his own people to a
degree of oppression his "occupied Palestinian brethren" never dreamed of.
In Islamic folk representation of Paradise, which is often supported by popular religious
sheikhs and citations from Islamic sources, the martyr may freely mingle with the virgins of
Paradise (huriya), some say as many as 72 of them each, and after each sexual intercourse the
girls miraculously regain their virginity in order to afford the martyr a continuous virginal
pleasure. So it goes for alcohol, the other major taboo in Islamic society, since Shari'a does
not apply in Heaven.
Despite its sham nature, however, this appeasement process has had two baleful consequences.
It has caused Olmert, under pressure from the Americans, the Israeli media and powerful
Israeli oligarchs who want the economic advantages of peace at any price, to destroy
checkpoints, release prisoners and float the possibility of territorial concessions -- all of
which promote and incite further Arab violence.
Perhaps we should not have gone there at all, but we did and now that we are there we have a
great responsibility to curb and eventually stop that violence with the force only we have the
capability to use there to restrain and defeat the many sided insurgencies. We have no choice.
The alternative is much worse and would be irresponsible.
Obama seems to come up on the wrong side of many issues. BUT even as he does, he gets a
pass. Finally the working classes are beginning to see through this facade. ONLY, it may be
too late, unless the super-delegates figure it out and chooses Hillary. However, if they do
there will likely be an outbreak of nation-wide riots...BUT if Hillary is not the nominee
the Democrats will lose and it may just be the END of the PARTY as we know it.
Obama said he did nothing wrong. But he did use the law to benefit Rezko and Michelle and
Barack Obama. So who would prosecute a legal action against them? When you got money and you
are slick Willy you can drive right up to the edge and not fall off. A lawyer often has a
license to steal. They know all the angles. And this is the guy who might be president?
The indigenous Americans were not so noble as they have been portrayed. There were often as savage
as humanity has always been...Mother nature is a cruel bitch..The left rejected Hobbes and his
view that man's nature is brutish...sociobiology was not a nefarious plot to give scientific
credence to a right-wing policy agenda...
Indeed, Jews were among the best-educated people in the country, and fiercely loyal to a land they
had thrived in for millennia. As such, they were the wealthiest and most assimilated Jews in the
Arab Middle East. In many ways they resembled the middle-class and affluent, entrenched Jews of
Germany who felt more German than Jewish. The sudden end of Iraqi Jewry some 50 years ago, the
Baghdad government expelled its 120,000 Jews, ending 2,600 years of Jewish life in the country.
...the war actually began against the United States in 1979 when the Ayatollah Khomeini ascended
to power in Iran and his supporters violently seized the American embassy in Teheran...For the
next 22 years America failed to realize they were embroiled in a war and when in 1998 Muslims
attacked two more American embassies, this time in Africa, the response was tepid. The "war on
terror" entered a new stage on September 11, 2001.
If Hillary Clinton had no other reason to keep running for the Democratic presidential nomination,
it would be to demonstrate that Tim Russert, Keith Olbermann, Maureen Dowd, David Broder and the
Beltway media gas bags don't decide American elections.
...consistently and falsely claims he was a law professor...claimed credit for nuclear legislation
that never passed...misspoke about being conceived because of Selma...took too much credit for
community organizing...assertion that nobody had indications Rezko engaging in wrongdoing `strains
credulity'...forced to revise assertion that lobbyists "won't work in my White House...Selective,
embellished and out-of-context health plan...overstated Kansas tornado deaths...exaggerated
legislative progress he made, on ethics reform.
Barack Obama is either unaware of the real challenge from religious intolerance and hatred or just
naive enough to think talking to Iranians can convince the Iranian sponsored Jihadists from
carrying out their plans to destroy Western society, to prevent enlightened modernity and impose
Sharia law on the region and the world.
First, nuclear weapons give us the means to wipe ourselves out quickly; no humans possessed
this means before. Second, we already appropriate about 40 percent of the Earth's net
productivity (i.e. the net energy captured from sunlight). With the world's human population
now doubling every forty-one years, we soon shall reach the biological limit to growth, at
which point we shall have to start fighting each other in dead earnest for a share of the
world's fixed pie of resources.
It is no surprise by now that Obama comes from a very multi-cultural family. There are some Muslims
and Christians. There are no Jews. He says he is now a Christian. His grandparents were Christians.
His family in Kenya are Muslims. No surprise there. The only surprise is why the media ignores the
Odinga connection?
...[N]eocons (are) liberals who'd been "mugged by reality," were (and still are) in favor of
welfare benefits, racial equality, and many other liberal tenets. But they were driven rightward
by the excesses of the late 1960s and early 1970s, when crime was increasing in the United States,
the Soviet Union was gaining ground in the Cold War, and the dominant wing of the Democratic Party
was unwilling to get tough on either problem."
Judgment and leadership in foreign policy are not intuitive. They are learned through experience.
Obama's long and close relationship with the anti-American hate-monger Wright, his inattention to
his responsibilities in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his careless approach to Iraq
all suggest that he would benefit from more experience. We should ask whether we want those
lessons to be learned in the White House.
Animals who are not aggressive enough do not survive to reproduce. Natural selection does not favor
those animals who are unwilling to kill though too much aggression can also be a disadvantage for
obvious reasons.
There is another world and it lives in us. That world has caused more death and devastation
than all the wars ever fought and will bring down on us the next plague. It is the world of
viruses, bacteria, protozoa and lancet flukes.
...The destiny of the Democratic Party is in the hands of African-Americans and anti-Zionist
"liberal" Democrats. It is no longer the party of white, blue-collar workers. It is no longer
the party of women. It is no longer the party of older Americans...
...The girl, named Aisha, was only six years old when the marriage contract was made. Three
years later, when Muhammad fled his home town and entered Medina, the little girl of nine was
delivered to his harem. The apostle of Allah, in his passion to possess her, was in such a
hurry that he did not even wait for nightfall...
...Arafat used militant Islamism to fuel his jihad against Israel. BUT all those who condemn
Israel for responding to the orchestrated terror by the Palestinians often ignore the cause and
criticize Israelis for legitimate defense and those Jews, albeit left wing Jews, who attempt to
find fairness and truth are considered as being outside the acceptable or legitimate left wing
fold...
...Hillary's plan differs from Sen. McCain's in that it is financed with a windfall profits tax on
oil companies. Krugman, who does not support Hillary's plan, acknowledges that her plan will not
increase profits for the oil industry.
...As a consequence of Obama's dereliction of duty on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a
feckless administration has had absolutely no oversight as it careens from disaster to disaster
in Afghanistan, including the central governments loss of control over 70 percent of the country
and yet another bumper crop of opium to fuel the efforts of the Taliban and their terrorist allies.
And Obama said, for him, impeachment was off the table. He wouldn't even consider it when the time
was right to remove George Bush. When most progressives and constitutionalists supported articles
of impeachment against Bush and Cheney - Obama is more than willing to give him a free pass - just
like the free pass Obama is getting from "liberal" bloggers.
There are other questions which will certainly be raised in a general election. Why did Barack
Hussein Obama change his name from Barry (or Barrie) to Barack? Aren't names important? They also
signify association, if not real, at least emotionally. So, does Barack feel more like a Barack
than a Barry?
Would a brilliant guy, who is running for President, claim to barely know a guy indicted for
corruption, who just happened to be a longstanding member of Obama's campaign finance committee?
Would a brilliant guy, who was planning to run for President, tell a slum lord (who he claims he
barely knew) about buying adjacent properties, which they subsequently do on the same day?
To many Arabs there is no difference between settlers of 1967, settlers of 1948, settlers of 1922,
or settlers of 1881. To Arabs, there is no difference between the settlers in New York and the
settlers in Palestine. To many Arabs, all Jews are enemies of Islam. And it is no wonder they have
this perception. Arab rulers have sold this story to them as a distraction from their own abuses.
The question of whether anti-Zionism can or should be equated with anti-Semitism is one of those
pivotal issues that refuse to go away. It is of considerable importance in any effort to define
the nature of the "new Judeophobia" and strategies to deal with it.
Iraqi dissidents agree that Iraq's programs to build weapons of mass destruction would have been
focused on Israel and even though turned out that there were no weapons of mass destruction --
IF they had them is is also certain that Israel was the whole game.
It is now clear Mr. Obama, that the jig is up, and you have let your candidacy be permanently
damaged. You have provided overwhelming fodder for Republicans in the general election. This lie,
Mr. Obama, has ended any chance of myself or most Americans being able to support you. It is not
the racist statements of your supporter, Mr. Obama, it is this lie that you have told with
self-conviction that you did not know your pastor said any of these statements.
What did Obama think when Wright accused the government Obama wants to lead with creating the AIDS
virsus and addicting black youths to crack cocaine? Did Obama really think that, sitting in the
pew and nodding thoughtfully, that he was innocent? What if the preacher had been Hitler and the
sermon had been about the contamination of German society by alien Jewish pollution? Would a
German Obama have sat quietly and seemed to agree?
There is no doubt the pressure from Congress was on President Clinton to get NAFTA passed if he
intended on getting anything else on his agenda approved. Was it good for America? Some of it was.
Some of it has proved to be disastrous for lack of regulation and because of short sighted neglect
by those who opposed it even when expectations were for it to pass.
Homo sapiens have held bizarre theories, superstitions - and spawned paradoxes in "every period
and culture." There is an enlightenment in science and it probably began in the 50s with a
cognitive revolution of new ideas and new computational models and paradigms.
When evil is allowed to compete with good, evil has an emotional populist appeal
that wins out unless good men and women stand as a vanguard against abuse. (Hannah Arendt - Origins of Totalitarianism)
"When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been
committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion."
Muhammad did not intend to emancipate women and in spite of considering them to be harmful to men,
this did not prevent the prophet from having at least ten wives, and by some estimates, as many as
14. They may have been just too much competition for him since the prophet was known to have
perfumed his body, painted his eyes, and dyed his hair.
"By glorifying past wars and preparing for future wars, society reinforces this mindset. War is
even welcomed, for it allows individuals to project inner hatreds, displace aggression, find a
transcendental purpose in life, and achieve a sense of belonging in a group."
...the challenge to convention is his rationale for running and it sounds good to all those young
voters who, like him, do not have the experience of Democratic administrations and most barely
remember, if at all, the prosperity enjoyed under Clinton when for the first time the budget
deficits were eliminated and people were earning more relative to inflation what they are now and
jobs were being created in numbers which would not only keep up with the natural increase in the
labor force but exceeding it.
"We can say now with considerable confidence that the Bible is not a history of anyone's past.
The story of the chosen and rejected Israel that it presents is a philosophical metaphor of a
mankind that has lost its way.
Obama's academic advisers may be good at their job; they are just not good enough at altering
facts to fit political exigency. Obama never met a truth he could relate to because he constantly
leaves out essential truths, or what is really going on around him, as with Rezko and that whole
gang of deceivers and crooks.
..Obama campaign pushed a compliant press corps, all too eager to do its bidding rather than
maintain its standards of objectivity and skepticism, into hyping a mini-pseudo-scandal: whether
Hillary "misspoke" about being under sniper fire when she paid a visit to Tuzla in Bosnia in 1996.
In fact, the then-First Lady was told the plane was diving to land to avoid possible sniper fire...
And Obama has proved he is no unifier. It would have been more unifying to hug his grandmother and
renounce his minister. But for the 20 years Jeramiah Wright was his minister he never once rejected
his sermons. He sat there and listened to them. Saying he didn't hear them one day and then
admitting he did a few days later is an admission he lied. We don't need anymore liars - though it
is hard these days to find a politician who doesn't lie. However, once caught, he ought to go. Why
would Obama think he is more important than the job of President?
Obama has been untruthful. He has said she will do or say anything to get elected while he makes
accusations which are not true and attacked her character. He has been divisive because he knows
he can be and get away with it. He has a pass. I didn't give it to him - the press and liberals
and so-called "progressives" have.
Obama referred to his white grandmother as a "typical white person." So what do you think the
response would be if Hillary Clinton referred to a black person, any black person, or even Obama
as a "typical" black person? Is this language of Barack Obama the change we can all believe in if
he is the nominee?
He made his grandmother the moral equivalent of a professional demagogue who thinks AIDS and
drugs are the result of a conspiracy by white men against blacks and Obama settled on an
85-year-old lady, his grandmorther, Madelyn Dunham, who loved and raised him and who is now
infirm and lives alone in a condominium apartment in Honolulu. Did her charismatic grandson
even make her aware that he was about to throw her under the bus and label her a racist.
The Bush administration says weapons of mass destruction are an an affront to our American
way of life. However, the reality is, the "American way of life" is selling weapons of mass
destruction to anyone who can pay for them.
Early adherents of Islam were pastoral and sometimes found themselves alone with their sheep
for too long. They avenged blood disputes between tribes. If someone was harmed, members of
their tribe would often raid another tribe to take revenge. They were so backward and many
still are, and if they lived in caves they would still be there too. Many of them are having
a very difficult time with adjusting to what they consider the "corrupting influence" of
modern ideas from the west.
The facts change depending on his audience and the shift has been opposite of what it was.
Obama has consistently demonstrated he is untested and unqualified for the presidency. And
his mistakes are beginning to catch up with him, You can see the gradual shift downward in
his polling and donations. If he said the things he says now when he was campaigning against
Hillary Clinton, inspite of outspending her 3 and sometimes 5 to one, he would not be the
nominee.
"The worst insult that a Moroccan can make to another is to call him a Jew. My childhood
friends have remained anti-Jewish. They vent their virulent Antisemitism by asserting that
the state of Israel was the creation of Western imperialism. My Communist comrades
themselves have fallen into this trap..."
Should there be any doubt left as to who owns our government? The very same cast of
characters making the Obama hit parade of campaign loot are the clever creators of the
industry solutions to the wave of foreclosures gripping this nation's poor and middle class,
effectively putting the solution in the hands of the robbers. The names of these programs
(that have failed to make a dent in the problem) have the same vacuous ring: Hope Now;
Project Lifeline.
Rezko is/was a shake down con man. He is charged with "shaking down" investment firms and If
they wanted contracts with state organizations, Rezko was the man to see. He had politicians
in his pocket. He had Governor Blagojevich and he had Senator Obama.
I can see the headline now, Obama's Commie Uncle. Democrats banking on Obama to bring a new
Camelot to Washington need to pause and ask some tough questions. Their refusal to ask Obama
about his familial ties in Kenya, about his foreign policy inexperience, and about his
meddling in the Kenyan election, will eventually come up.
Obama said if he was there he might have voted for it...
"I think what people might point to is our different assessments of the war in Iraq,
although I'm always careful to say that I was not in the Senate, so perhaps the reason I
thought it was such a bad idea was that I didn't have the benefit of U.S. intelligence. And,
for those who did, it might have led to a different set of choices. So that might be
something that sort of is obvious. But, again, we were in different circumstances at that
time: I was running for the U.S. Senate, she had to take a vote, and casting votes is always
a difficult test."
Obama said, "'Should I have known these buildings were in a state of disrepair? My answer
would be that it wasn't brought to my attention,' the Chicago Sun-Times reported Obama said.
'As far as I can tell, we were never contacted by Rezko tenants.'" (Chicago Tribune) Yes, he
should have known; they were in his district. The districts were not that large and Rezko
was not a stranger. Rezko was Obama's friend for 17 years and he was on Obama's campaign
committee and friendly enough to throw parties for Obama. And Obama was close enough to
intercede for Rezko and request million dollar loans so Rezko could buy more tenements which
he walked away from taking the money with him, some of it going to Obama as campaign
contributions, and leaving buildings in "disrepair" and the tenants without heat in the
winter.
We don't need a reincarnation of John Kennedy, who also tried more than once to assassinate
Fidel Castro (And Fidel outlived him and a lot of other presidents). It was John Kennedy who
supported and propped up U.S. friendly dictatorships throughout Latin and South American
which oppressed their own people. It was Kennedy who kept the cold war going and brought us
the infamous "Bay of Pigs" fiasco and Kennedy who brought us to the brink of a nuclear
holocaust. Kennedy ordered the assassination of our puppet - who the U.S. installed
president of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem. [Sort of like "I voted for it before
I voted against it."
Obama doesn't tell the whole truth. Obama did introduce legislation, however he watered it
down to satisfy Senate Republicans, regulators and even Exelon, the company with the leaks.
"Exelon, the country's largest nuclear plant operator and one of Mr. Obama's largest sources
of campaign money."
"As Mr. Obama using Mr. Patrick's speech says, "it's only words." Yes, Mr. Obama, words do
matter, especially when they're lies." (Welsh) Is it no big deal that Obama lies? IT IS A
VERY BIG DEAL!
Do not go gentle into that good
night! "Good men, the last
wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green
bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light." ........Dylan Thomas
"People have so manipulated the concept of freedom, that it finally
boils down to the right of the stronger and richer to take from the
weaker and poorer whatever they have left."
While I don't use a standard blog (weblog
software) mostly because I've been doing this too long - having been there with Ike when the
precursor to the Internet, Arpanet got started and every step of the way since, I can't get
into all the many fads over the years (now it is social networking), but I have been an
observer and participant in events which shape the world since my time with NSA and with
Army Security and as a voice security cryptologist in the White House for the President, and
the War Room at the Pentagon for the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff plus two wars.
You could say this site is one of the better kept secrets [grin] on the InterNUT. You
are invited back as often as you would like to see what I and others, I trust, may be
saying.
