Don't be fooled by Obama

Now that Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee for president, it's very important for voters to know that if elected the first thing he'll likely do is sign the Freedom of Choice Act which would make Roe a ...

Obama does not fool me and I hope the majority of Americans wake up quick. The left wing of the Democratic party has been trying to ram a real hardcore liberal to push their agenda for the last 35 or so years and it has so far thankfully not worked. Now the liberals think they have the bulletproof candidate in Barack because he is black and anyone who questions the man's politics is quickly called a racist. I find this deplorable. I simply can not vote for Obama because of what he stands for, or at least think he stands for. He is extremely vague in his speeches but it is apparent to me he wants to seriously socialize the country. I do not care what skin color any candidate is and for a party to try and hide their slick agenda behind it will fail just like every other lefty they have thrown at us.The reason why he will fail is because liberalism is a failure plain and simple. I do not hate G.W. bush that much to vote this extreme. Besides, Bush 43 is not the opponent.

McCain isn't any better. He's just as "angry" as obama for change. For once I would like to see a presidential nominee tell the truth, ignore exploiting their religion (I don't care who they pray to!), NEVER be vague in the intentions, and do what this country needs. Unfortunately it's hard "up top" to see the lil' peons below. Yes, we are just ants to them. Once, elected either candidate will just forget us and do what they want anyway. BUT America is better because of it's freedom? Freedom is an illusion. The government still has a hold on us. Okay, rants over with!

It is a picture I took of an ancient Incan artifact at the Natural History museum in NYC.

I liked it because it was horrific and seemed straight out of a nightmare I once had.

Obama is one helleva dangerous guy. He does a good job of delivering a speech provided it’s written by someone else and provided he has time to rehearse it. Otherwise, he appears uncertain, searching for words and generally seems confused. The church he attended for 20 years, Trinity, has it’s roots in Black Liberation Theology. Black Liberation Theology is based on black power, socialism and Marxism. You’ve seen the Reverend Wright videos. This guy was Obama’s mentor - a man he looked up to. Obama attended this church and listened to this guy preach this stuff for 20 years. You do not do that unless you believe in it. He conveniently resigned from the church when it became apparent that his continued membership would hurt him politically. Black Liberation Theology believes that everyone should be equal - no wealthy class, no poor class. A large, central government would bring about equality by determining what everyone needs and providing it to them. If that sounds somewhat familiar to you, it should. It’s called Communism and it has failed anywhere and everywhere it’s been tried. Obama is one dangerous man who, if elected, will bring this country to its knees. Look at Obama’s friends and acquaintances. Can you find any who aren’t crooked or subversive? Throughout his lifetime he has surrounded himself with the worst of the bad.

Obama Accuser Larry Sinclair Holds Stupefying Press Conference
It is not often that a political reporter can claim to have witnessed the single most stupefying event on any single day, what with the diversity of inanity on display from coast to coast in an election year. But today, I feel confident laying claim to that dubious distinction, for I attended Larry Sinclair's Wednesday press conference at the National Press Club.

The event began less than auspiciously for Mr. Sinclair -- who has gained Internet notoriety by spreading wild accusations regarding gay sex, drugs and possible murder committed by Barack Obama -- as National Press Club staff took pains to remove the association's logo from behind the podium where Sinclair was set to speak.(Politico's Ben Smith today detailed Sinclair's "27-year criminal record, with a specialty in crimes involving deceit.")

Only slightly less mystifying were the several dozen assembled journalists who seemed to grant Mr. Sinclair some modicum of respect with their questions. They cross-examined his statement regarding his supposed meetings with the Illinois Democrat with a vigor and small-bore attention to detail that prosecutors reserve strictly for witnesses who are sane. Imagine if you were to encounter someone who had lit himself on fire, and then proceeded to ask which brand of gasoline he favored.

And so the inquiries came, most of which Mr. Sinclair easily batted back with the exhortation to investigate his claims more vigorously. As for the evidence he provided, it amounted to a few phone numbers -- registered under different names and in different states -- that Mr. Sinclair claimed he used to call, variously, a limousine driver, the deceased choir director of Trinity United Church of Christ, and others. Clearly, it is now the duty of the mobile phone companies to open up these records to court scrutiny.(Forgive me for not reprinting any of the "evidence" in full here. Should you care to see it, Sinclair promised a version would be made public on his website, one free of the several errors which vexed him during his public statement today.)
"I expect you to ask me questions," Sinclair told the reporters. "I expect you to do your job, and actually find facts as opposed to looking at DailyKos or FireDogLake or Huffington Post or all of these pro-Obama sites."

When a questioner asked Mr. Sinclair whether he would permit scrutiny of his mental health records "for more than 30 minutes" -- in a lame attempt to riff on the restrictions imposed by John McCain's campaign -- Sinclair mumbled for a few moments, unaware of the reference.
When he was clued in, Mr. Sinclair shrugged and said: "You can see where my head is today."

To borrow a phrase: yes, we can. Larry Sinclair was a mental patient, and failed TWO lie detector tests

It was already pretty clear that Larry Sinclair had no credibility. Simply listening to his accusations against Obama raised serious doubts about him. He subsequently failed TWO polygraph test regarding his claims. The Politico now reports that Sinclair has a long criminal record:
Public records and court filings reveal that he has a 27-year criminal record, with a specialty in crimes involving deceit. The record includes forgery charges in two states, one of which drew Sinclair a 16-year jail sentence. The Pueblo County, Colorado, Sheriff’s Office also has an outstanding warrant for Sinclair’s arrest for forging an acquaintance’s signature and stealing her tax refunds.

This comes as no surprise. The article later elaborates further on his record:
He was first arrested on a larceny charge in 1981 in Denver, according to his Colorado arrest record, as filed in federal court. In 1985, he was convicted of theft and of forging a check in Florida, and sentenced to a year

Muslims barred from picture at Obama event
By BEN SMITH | 6/18/08 11:08 AM EST Updated: 6/18/08 3:07 PM EST Text Size:


For Obama, the old-fashioned image-making contrasts with his promise to transcend identity politics, and to embrace all elements of America.

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.

The campaign has apologized to the women, both Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.

“This is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama’s commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.“We sincerely apologize for the behavior of these volunteers.”

Building a human backdrop to a political candidate, a set of faces to appear on television and in photographs, is always a delicate exercise in demographics and political correctness. Advance staffers typically pick supporters out of a crowd to reflect the candidate’s message.

When Obama won the North Carolina primary amid questions about his ability to connect with white voters, for instance, he stood in front of a group of middle-aged white women waving small American flags.

Obama doesn't give a D-- about the middle class or poor in this country spending 4 dollars at the pump and up.
He wants to take care of OPEC. His Muslim brothers.
