Scott Brown campaigns in Worcester MA, Obama campaigns for Martha Coakley, Barack Obama heckled, January 17, 2010, Red Sox’s Schilling stumps for GOP Senate hopeful, Doug Flutie, Ayla Brown

While Obama was campaigning for Martha Coakley in Boston this afternoon, January 17, 2010, Scott Brown was campaigning in Worcester, MA.

From the Boston Herald.

“Energized Brown mocks desperate Dems”

“GOP upstart state Sen. Scott Brown took aim at Democratic opponent Attorney General Martha Coakley’s presidential bailout this afternoon, telling a packed hall of rowdy supporters he would stay connected to them and not embrace Washington, D.C. insiders.

“They put in a distress call to Washington, and the next thing you know, Air Force One is landing at Logan,” Brown said of President Obama’s Boston visit today. “The party bosses gave the president some bad information. This Senate seat belongs to no one person and no one political party, it belongs to the people of Massachusetts.”

Brown, bolstered by a last-minute campaign surge in the polls, reminded the crowd of over 2,000 people that he is their candidate.

“I’m Scott Brown, I’m from Wrentham, I drive a truck and I’m asking for your vote,” he said. Then he referenced Obama’s come-from-behind presidential campaign. “After all, who ever heard of a guy from Wrentham getting elected to the U.S. Senate? But as the president might remember, upsets like that have been known to happen.”

Brown was serenaded by his daughter, former “American Idol” semi-finalist Ayla Brown, backslapped by Red Sox [team stats] ace pitcher Curt Schilling [stats], and pumped up by former “Cheers” know-it-all John Ratzenberger during the electric rally.”

“Barack Obama was heckled at his Bush-bash Coakley rally in Boston today… for about 3 minutes.”

Obama systemic failure, Gitmo connection, Janet Napolitano system worked well, al Qaeda plot, Gitmo terrorists released, Guantanamo detainees military commanders

Months ago, Barack Obama promised to close Gitmo and criticized the “torture” of detainees.

From USA Today December 15, 2009.

“Security concerns hang over Gitmo inmates’ move to Ill”

“President Obama’s announcement that the government will send as many as 100 terrorism suspects from Guantanamo Bay to an Illinois prison raised questions and sparked protests Tuesday over whether the new lockup will pose a security risk.
 
In a letter to Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, top administration officials including Defense Secretary Robert Gates called the plan “part of the president’s aggressive posture in the fight against al-Qaeda.”

The decision to buy a nearly vacant state prison in Thomson, Ill., to house alleged terrorists is the latest step in Obama’s effort to close the Guantanamo detention center, a symbol for detainee abuses under George W. Bush.”

“Critics were unmoved by the assurances. Liz Cheney, daughter of the former vice president and an official with the conservative group Keep America Safe, said voters didn’t elect Obama to “usher terrorists onto the homeland and call it a jobs program.”

Debra Burlingame, whose brother was the pilot of the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11, said Obama is “playing into the hands of the jihadist propaganda” by closing Guantanamo.”
“Of those still at Guantanamo, the Pentagon says about 95 are slated to be returned to their own or other countries, five will be tried in New York, and five tried before military commissions. Most of the remaining 100 or so would be sent to Thomson, either to be held indefinitely or tried by military tribunals.”

Nine days before Christmas, December 16, 2009, Senator Mitch McConnell had this to say about Obama’s Gitmo strategy.

Today, December 29, 2009, Obama stated that there had been systemic failures in our national security system.

From the NY Times, December 29, 2009.

“On the White House: A Phrase Sets Off Sniping After a Crisis”

“Making his second public statement on the matter in as many days, Mr. Obama said a preliminary assessment already has made clear that there was a breakdown in the intelligence review system that did not properly identify the suspect as a dangerous extremist who should have been prevented from flying to the United States.
“A systemic failure has occurred and I consider that totally unacceptable,” Mr. Obama told reporters here in Hawaii, where is in the middle of a 10-day holiday vacation. The president said he has ordered government agencies to report back to him on Thursday about what happened and said he would “insist on accountability at every level,” although he did not elaborate.”

:The president suggested that he would overhaul the nation’s watch-list system. “We’ve achieved much since 9/11 in terms of collecting information that relates to terrorists and potential terrorist attacks,” he said. “But it’s becoming clear that the system that has been in place for years now is not sufficiently up to date to take full advantage of the information we collect and the knowledge we have.””

““It now appears that weeks ago this information was passed to a component of our intelligence community but was not effectively distributed so as to get the suspect’s name on a no-fly list,” Mr. Obama said of the father’s warning. “There appears to be other deficiencies as well. Even without this one report, there were bits of information available within the intelligence community that could have and should have been pieced together.””

In typical Obama fashion, he laid blame on the past:

“But it’s becoming clear that the system that has been in place for years now is not sufficiently up to date to take full advantage of the information we collect and the knowledge we have.”

And Obama made no mention of the Gitmo connection to the terrorist plot.

From ABC News, December 28, 2009.

“Two al Qaeda Leaders Behind Northwest Flight 253 Terror Plot Were Released by U.S.”

“Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia, where they entered into an “art therapy rehabilitation program” and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials. ABC News described their enrollment in the art therapy program in a January report. (See video to the left.)

Guantanamo prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari, were sent to Saudi Arabia on Nov. 9, 2007, according to the Defense Department log of detainees who were released from American custody. Al-Harbi has since changed his name to Muhamad al-Awfi.

Both Saudi nationals have since emerged in leadership roles in Yemen, according to U.S. officials and the men’s own statements on al Qaeda propaganda tapes.

Both of the former Guantanamo detainees are described as military commanders and appear on a January, 2009 video along with the man described as the top leader of al Qaeda in Yemen, Abu Basir Naser al-Wahishi, formerly Osama bin Laden’s personal secretary.”

Trent Franks town hall meeting, Kingman AZ, Iraq veteran, CNN, Army veteran on US Constitution, Truth about Iraq, Arizona town hall, Youtube video

This Youtube video of the town hall meeting in Kingman, AZ on August 22, 2009, hosted by representative Trent Franks, is a must see. What is compelling about this video is the US Army veteran that served in Iraq speaking the truth about our presence there, media bias from the likes of CNN and the fact that the Iraqis voted for the first time. The Army veteran also lauded the US Constitution as the law of the land and went on to praise George Bush as a much better commander in chief than Barack Obama.

Representative Franks held another town hall meeting last night, August 25, 2009. If a video surfaces from that meeting, please forward the info.
“I don’t know this guy, but I want to say thanks. And to all those who serve in the the United States Armed Forces, thank you. You sign your lives away for the freedom of others. There are no greater heroes in this country.”

Obama is not eligible to be POTUS, Electoral College Electors, US Senators, US Representatives, US Supreme Court, Philip J Berg lawsuit appeal, Obama not elected yet

I tried to reach Philip J Berg yesterday and will try again. I have tried
to not bother him more than is necessary. Mr. Berg has spent countless
hours in a just cause to defend and uphold the US Constitution.
The rule of law and the US Constitution must be upheld. Period. This means that no matter who is running for the office of president, mo matter what color their skin is or anything else about them, they must be eligible to be president and must, if challenged, prove their eligibility. Barack Obama is not eligible to be president. He garnered more votes in the general election due to the following reasons:

  • A well orchestrated campaign that was based on preemptive news releases designed to disarm debate, control of information in the MSM and the internet, racism, personal attacks, illegal campaign contributions and voter fraud. Obama mentioning his drug use when he was young and the Fight the Smears site are good examples.
  • Obama stole the Democrat party nomination from Hillary Clinton with the help of Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean and well documented voter fraud.
  • In one of the most well documented manifestations of racism that I have experienced in my lifetime, 95% of blacks voted for Obama. This, I believe, along with Obama camp tacttics, will set back race relations in this country 20 years.
  • The gullible youth of this country, already influenced by the far left
    wing media and college professors, fell under the spell of this Hitler
    like speaker.
  • No one was allowed to question the “messiah’, Obama. Anyone questioning Obama was viciously attacked. Good examples are the actor Jon Voight and his family and Joe the Plumber.
  • The Obama camp spent record amounts of money to buy this election. Large amounts of contributions are being investigated and we know that Obama has been backed by the likes of George Soros, Chicago and Illinois corruption money and dubious connections in the Middle East and other foreign countries.
  • Obama, the Obama Campaign and the Obama camp, have based their strategies on diversions, lies and deceit. The basis for this can be traced back to the strategies of Saul Alinsky, who cautioned not to alienate groups. Tell people anything you have to to get elected. That is exactly what Obama has done.
  • Focusing on change and using the Bush Administration as a scapegoat were repeated over and over as a brainwashing technique and rallying point. This comes straight from the playbook of Nazi Germany where a glorious new Germany (change) was promised and the Jews (scapegoats) were the cause of  all of Germany’s problems.
  • Threats of racial tensions and race riots were threatened by the Obama camp and supporters. This comes straight from the election strategy playbook of Obama’s cousin Raila Odinga and his ODM party. From the ODM election strategy:

“Ethnic Tensions/Violence as a last Resort”

“Use ODM agents on the ground to engineer ethnic tensions in target areas”

    Even with all of the chicanery above, Obama won just over one fourth of the nation’s counties. Hardly a mandate and a troubling matter for the founding fathers.
    Many people are frustrated that Barack Obama was not vetted, was given
    a free ride by the MSM and is progressing through the 2008 election cycle
    without having to prove his eligibility. The Philip J Berg lawsuit appeal
    is still before the US Supreme Court, awaiting a response from Obama and
    the DNC. Sadly it is still at the mercy of our legal system and the well
    structured requirements for legal standing and burden of proof. However,
    I maintain, that the US Constitution must be upheld and that all
    candidates must be eligible. That includes the swearing in of the new president by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at the inauguration.

    The Citizen Wells blog has been providing articles for many weeks on the
    election process and the federal and state laws that control the process.
    Citizen Wells has notified the states by email and in some cases telephone
    conversations of their obligation to uphold the Constitution. This includes
    state officers such as Secretary of State, Attorney General, board of
    elections and most definitely Electoral College Electors. Citizen Wells
    has contacted officials in NC by email and telephone on multiple occasions.
    The states have varying election laws and NC even has a provision for
    qualifying candidates.

    So what can you as a concerned citizen do? Many people have asked what
    evidence they can present to their state Electoral College Electors.
    Citizen Wells will be presenting a series of articles that hopefully
    will help put the issue and evidence into focus. In the meantime, you
    can obtain a list of your states’ Electors by doing an internet search.

    I have listened to several in the media, that I used to respect, make
    comments that are disheartening. It was brought to my attention that Glenn
    Beck, when asked by a listener to respond to the birth certificate issue,
    told the listener to forget about it. How can we just forget about the
    US Constitution!!! Glenn, if you read this, please explain.

    From Jeff Screiber, legal writer for AmericasRight.com:

    “Some, like myself, are conflicted. On one hand, Obama received 63 million votes on Tuesday but, on the other hand, if Berg is correct he shouldn’t have been there in the first place. On one hand, the time for Berg’s line of thinking to be pursued should have been before November 4th so as to avoid mass voter disenfranchisement but, on the other hand, since when have the courts been concerned about voter disenfranchisement? On one hand, the United States Constitution says that Barack Hussein Obama is now president-elect of the United States of America and should be treated as such but, on the other hand, the same document also says that, should Berg be correct, he cannot serve in the position he’s slated to attain in January because he is not a natural-born citizen of the United States.”

    “Still, to me, the question presented by Berg is warranted and absolutely essential. Barack Obama should present, for independent examination, the “vault” copy of his birth certificate if for no other reason than to put this matter to rest. His failure to provide it does make me believe that he doesn’t have it, or that it doesn’t say what it should. The best way to receive closure, perhaps, is the most unlikely one — that the U.S. Supreme Court grant certiorari in this matter. Unfortunately, as the Court doesn’t like to get involved in political questions such as this, as the Court would be hesitant under any circumstances to countermand the will of 63 million Americans (give or take a few hundred thousand for ACORN), I don’t think it will happen. What we have now, unfortunately, is a widely-accepted “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and, with regard to the presidency, that’s unacceptable.”

    We must not let threats of racial tensions and race riots deter us from
    upholding the Constitution. If we cave in to pressure, we will be one step closer to being a third world country, such as Kenya, controlled by the likes of Raila Odinga, Obama’s cousin, with constant internal battles. We must uphold the US Constitution and the rule of law for all Americans, regardless of race or religion.

    I am asking fellow bloggers and concerned citizens to help defend the
    US Constitution. Contact your state Electoral College Electors and state
    Senators and Representatives. Make sure they are aware of Obama’s
    ineligibility to be president and remind them of the oath they swear to
    uphold the Constitution. Also help spread the word to your fellow citizens.
    All Barack Obama has to do, is follow the lead of John McCain and
    prove he is eligible.

    Stay tuned for more information.

    Help Philip J Berg uphold the Constitution:

    Jerome Corsi attacked by Obama Camp, Truthfightsback.com attacks Corsi, John Kerry and Obama liars, Obama Nation attacked, Kerry smears, Obama smears, Audacity of lies, Obama Campaign lies, Thought Police

    “I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be commander in chief of the armed forces of the United States. This is not a political issue. It is a matter of his judgement, truthfulness, reliability, loyalty, and trust–all absolute tenets of command.”

    REAR ADMIRAL ROY F. HOFFMAN, USN (RETIRED)

    Commander of the Swift Boats in Vietnam, 1968-1969

    First we have the Obama Campaign and the Fight the Smears website
    and now we have the John Kerry Truth Fights Back site. They are both
    straight out of “1984” by George Orwell with their doublespeak,
    revisionist history and Thought Police.


    The following is from the Truth Fights Back site:

    “Why Stop The Smears? Truthfightsback.com tracks, debunks, and counters the smears of the right wing against Democrats. We are dedicated to trying to end smears of all sorts, working against a style of politics that have become too prevalent, where emotional push-button attacks substitute for vigorous debate on the issues.

    It is our hope that we can play a role in exposing the methods and goals of those who smear Democrats so that we can decide our elections on the issues and values that matter to Americans.”

    So, like the Obama Fight the Smears site, they are against smears
    and “emotional push-button attacks”???

    The Truth Fights Back site has begun a vicious attack against
    Jerome Corsi, author of “Obama Nation”, a current best seller that
    reveals the truth about Barack Obama. Here is the article they
    posted about Jerome Corsi:
    “The Smear:

    Jerome Corsi, who made his name smearing the Catholic Church and lying about John Kerry’s military service, crawled out with another book attacking a Democratic Presidential candidate, The Obama Nation. In it, he claims to be focusing on policy and making charges about Obama’s policies that are too numerous to mention here. Conservatives point to the “best-seller” status of the book to bolster their claims of legitimacy.

    The Truth:

    Like his other books, Corsi’s book is littered with lies and distortions. Media Matters has numerous falsehoods in its first pass. See some of them here: http://mediamatters.org/items/200808040005 The “best-seller” status of the book was achieved through the use of large bulk purchases. This is a common tactic of the smear machine for these books: sympathetic rightwing organizations and individuals make large purchases of these books to push the book onto the best-seller lists to try to give the book a cover of legitimacy the lies and distortions wouldn’t give it on their own. The publisher of this book is a company headed up by Dick Cheney’s long-time spokesperson, Mary Matalin. The Obama campaign has found so many inaccuracies in the book, they’ve put together a 41 page PDF document detailing all of them. Download it here. Join TruthFightsBack.com and help us track and fight back against each of Jerome Corsi’s lies as the rightwing tries to spread

     
    Start fighting back against this smear by telling your friends and family the truth.”
    Pay close attention:
    “In it, he claims to be focusing on policy and making charges about Obama’s policies that are too numerous to mention here.”

    They do not mention an alleged “lie” specifically.

    Why did they not mention the alleged biggest lie or top 5?

    What a crock of crap!!  The only way GW Bush got elected in his first term is with help from his brother Gov, Jeb of Fl.and the Sec. of State in Florida.  The second term the Supreme Court elected him.  Obama needs to be more aggressive and fight back on everything the Republicans (Karl Rove) are saying or he will lose!  Tell him to give them hell for an 81 year od Democrat Grandma!!!

    ok the reason this s*** (stuff?) gets any traction is no one acts outraged when asked to respond. when joe smear goes on tv and says to kerry’s face that he is unamerican. and that obama is unamerican and kerry doesn’t stand up and put at least a finger in joe smear’s face and call him on it. what would happen if some democrate said to mccain’s face that he was unamerican? would mcains surgates continue if they knew they would be called up on this s*** (stuff?) soneone who calls me unamerican who never served would get me in thier face so fast they would wonder if i was going to punch them out. call me a coward and we see who backs down.

    We need more than Media Matters to effectively neutralize the smears laid out in Corsi’s book. Cite Media Matters to any right-winger and they immediately dismiss the legitimacy of their refutations based solely on the group’s self-proclaimed Progressive agenda.

    Are there other, non-partisan sources out there hard at work debunking Corsi’s lies?

    Thank you for fighting back against this nonsense.  Don’t these people realize that smears and not truth.  People can find out the truth if they take the time to investigate.

    Jerome Corsi is the worst person in the world. Keith Olberman should put him in there!
    Senator Kerry is so right. This is the same old, same old tactic that these nil brain Republicans use to twist the truth. The fact is so many Americans are so out to lunch they believe everything they hear and see on 24 hour cable tv. There are populations in places around this country who are so uneducated that they can not think outside the box. The irony of it all is that these are the same people who elect the very President who will work against them when this President takes office. And, the really pathetic part of this whole same old saga is that these people never learn. These are the tax payers whose very property are being foreclosed and whose taxes are bailing out these private corporations. Is this insanity to its nth degree or what? If the American people succumbs to this kind of stupidity all over again, God help us all. This time there is no going back. Reversing the current situation will be next to impossible if another Republican President is in the White House. God Forbid if McCain gets in there. He will take us back to the Cold War era. I really feel sorry for these people who are in so much suffering. However, blessed are the ignorant and they will inherit the demise of this republic. The Founding Fathers must be turning in their graves. I for one did not put George W. Bush’s name on the ballot during the 2000 and 2004 elections. Suffice to say I have no blood on my hands and I have a really clear conscience. In other words I did not participate, ergo I do not carry any karma.
    Yeah…… These people deserve what they get. Goes the saying; “when you are ignorant, you are stupid, therefore you are poor” Poor, meaning not only in terms of money but as a whole, one’s own very existence…So, I say WAKE UP AMERICA! BE ALERT! BE INTELLIGENTLY INFORMED! PAY CLOSE ATTENTION! We are lucky this time because the media is so ready to debunk what ever lies the republicans are using as propaganda against Barack Obama. I do not know about you guys but this is really getting old and really tiring….They accuse Barack Obama as an elitist. Oh well, only an intelligent individual will be able to bring about change, not the mobocracy.

    Corsi has absolutely no credibility, but that will not stop people from buying, reading, and believing what he has written about Obama.
    Already, Corsi is admitting to the media that he had an agenda when he wrote the book—and that is to insure that Obama is defeated.

    Your assessment as to Corsi’s book is correct as is your opinion that we must fight back on a united basis with the truth.  Corsi’s book is clearly another “Swift Boat” attempt to win at all cost and we cannot afford as a Party (nor as a nation) to let that happen again.

    I am a Counselor, what I have noticed something about the republican tactic to try to make the lies they repeat to be the truth…..

    In counseling and more so in Hypnosis when a person is in a receptive state of mind ( as one would be relaxing in living room watching TV) the therapist will repeat a phrase over and over and when trying to say …. stop smoking… the client is then to take the tape home and listen over and over again until… (this is the reason it works) the subconscious then becomes re-wired and begins to have a new foundational framework to continue to build new schema layers of thoughts…….  So they have been saying things like “successes in Iraq” constantly never wavering.  I can see McCains body stiffen ( even more that usual) when he is asked a question that confronts one of these Hypnotic lies (I call them)
    He gets quite defensive and then very shortly leaves the subject and makes sure to repeat his lie over and over as much as possible his next chance……
    So its like Subliminal Hypnosis and they are using and using it with Blatant lies……..
    The fears that many have like: Obama’s race and his religion: and this is mostly the old Hard line conservatives and people who are uncomfortable with racial differences ( these people are also low on the IQ scale, thus easier to sway to an agenda)
    The conservative hardliners are working hard to infuse the American low level collective to the lies of FEAR and Hatred…..

    And Using the same tactic would be wrong but there is bound to be a way you guys could get some scientists that prove what I am saying and put them on TV…..
    Something has to be done…. They have ruined this country and this world with their greed and power hungry ways…..
    May God Help us……”
    These comments typify Obama supporters and their responses to
    questions and facts regarding Obama and his past:

    Personal attacks:

    Attacks against Corsi, Republicans, GW Bush, McCain, and everyone
    in the universe that questions Obama.
    Diversions:
    (Of course personal attacks), referring to everything but specific
    aspects of Obama and his past, race card, religion (notice this was
    mentioned-which religion do they believe he has?)

    Elitist remarks:
    “I am a Counselor”, “these people are also low on the IQ scale”,
    “conservative hardliners are working hard to infuse the American low level collective to the lies of FEAR and Hatred”

    What is missing:
    No mention of any “lies” told by Corsi and no factual response to
    an alleged “lie.”
    Instead of listing the alleged “lies” written by Jerome Corsi, they
    mention this:

    “The Obama campaign has found so many inaccuracies in the book, they’ve put together a 41 page PDF document detailing all of them.”

    Citizen Wells will be providing an article on the Obama Campaign
    PDF file
    that uses biased MSM and blogger quotes to attempt to
    discredit Corsi. I have, and have read “Unfit for Command” and
    “The Obama Nation.” Both books are well documented and fact filled
    books about two of the biggest liars to have ever sought the office
    of president.

    We urge you to read “The Obama Nation” by Jerome Corsi and do lots
    of research and ask questions. This blog is a good place to start.

    We are living in a time when the warnings of George Orwell have become reality. The thought police of the Obama Camp are trying to control what information you have available and are rewriting history.

    Voice your concern over Obama and his thought police here:

    http://obamaimpeachment.org

    Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, lies, racism, anti semitism, hate America, entitlement, health care, poor housing, African Americans tortured

    “We control life, Winston, at all its levels.  You are imagining that there is something called human nature which will be outraged by what we do and will turn against us.  But we create human nature.  Men are infinitely malleable.” 1984 by George Orwell.
    “Do not hate your brother in your heart.” Leviticus 19:17
    “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
    I will present the truth and facts to you. Not white truth, not black truth, not green truth. Just the truth. If I discover an error by myself or others, I will correct it.

    There are no white people or black people. Hold your hand next to a white sheet and black sheet of paper. There is only one race of people, the human race. Some of my best friends have skin color that is darker or lighter than my own. I am in their homes, they are in mine. Some of these people have spent days to a year in my home.

    Slavery is a great evil. It is not a white skinned or black
    skinned issue. Slavery, racism and bigotry are about taking
    advantage of other people. This can become widespread due to conquest, laws and ignorance.
    Slavery was wrong when light skinned people owned darker skinned people in America.
    Slavery was wrong when American Indians owned darker skinned people in America.
    Slavery was wrong when dark skinned people owned dark skinned people in America.
    Slavery was wrong when Africans sold and owned dark skinned people in Africa.
    Slavery was wrong when Vikings sold and owned people in Europe.
    Slavery was wrong when Romans sold and owned people in Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa.
    Slavery was wrong when Egyptians sold and owned people in the Middle East and Africa.
    Slavery was wrong when Middle Easterners sold and owned people in the Middle East and Africa.
    Slavery was wrong when ancient Europeans sold and owned people in Europe.
    Slavery was wrong when ancient peoples of the Americas sold and owned people.

    Slavery has not existed in the United States for well over a hundred years. Slavery did not begin here. It was too slow in being eradicated but it was ended. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln grew up in an era of slavery, racism and bigotry. The information they were “programmed” with led them to believe that blacks were inferior. They were products of their environment. Despite the misinformation they were given, they slowly came to the realization that what they had believed about blacks was wrong.
    This is one of the reasons that what pastor Jeremiah Wright
    is preaching is important. Most importantly, he is enfluencing
    his parishioners, especially the children. He has also had an
    impact on Barack Obama, who is running for president of the US. This is not a casual relationship. Jeremiah Wright has been consistently referred to as a mentor to Barack Obama. Don’t even begin to question the above. I am very well educated and studied quite a bit of history.

    Next to statements regarding entitlement and what the US government owes it’s citizens. What the federal government is responsible for is quite simple. Here are the primary responsibilities: Defense, law legislation, Supreme Court decisions, federal banking and interstate commerce. The President of the United States has the primary job of Commander in Chief. Once again national defense.

    Accountability is lacking in modern day society. Why do modern day Americans have a sense of entitlement. That is, the government owes them affordable housing, free health care, educations, etc. There are three main reasons for this. The modern day Democratic Party that get votes by promising hand outs from the government,
    demagogues that gain from manipulating the masses and human greed.

    Here is a good example of this lack of accountability from a
    recent post on this blog:

    “While it is clear that a disproportionate number of African Americans are tortured by inadequate health care; poor housing, inadequate educations, abusive criminal justice, unemployment and high crime, much of this today is because they live in poverty. And in the global capitalism of today these conditions now exist for countless numbers of other Americans, white, Asian, Latino and others.”

    The word torture is used again. This is a common ploy of the liberal left. Once again, there is a lack of personal accountability. The reason many of these people are in poverty is due to a lack of personal accountability and the notion that they are owed everything. Much of this comes from the modern day Democrats and demagogues.
    Just look around at all the people that come to the US knowing full well of the opportunity here. All they have to do is work hard and they do, and often turn their lives around in one generation.

    One of the other great lies being told is about George W Bush
    and the Iraq War. George Bush did not lie about the Iraq War. There are two posts on this blog concerning the tone of the country and the situation in Iraq prior to the war. 10 quotes were provided about Iraq and Saddam Hussein, yet people have short memories and many have an agenda of propagating lies. All of the quotes came from the Clinton Administration and substantiate what George W Bush acted upon.

    Lies and diversions. These are the hallmark of the liberal left.
    Barack Obama’s speech about racism was a diversion. Yes, it was brilliant and eloquent, but so was Adolf Hitler. The German people wanted change. Change is not always good. Some people posting on this blog are attempting diversions as well. They speak of this white pastor and that white pastor. This is once again a diversion and rationalization. Everyone is accountable for their own actions. Some of these pastors said some really stupid things. However, Jeremiah Wright is spewing racist hate, anti semitism and hate for America. When I hear these other pastors spewing this level
    of hate and mentoring a presidential candidate for 20 years, then I will redirect my energies.
     
    So, why am I and many others focusing attention on Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright and others they associated with. Many red flags were raised by the hate speeches of pastor Wright, his mentoring of Barack Obama for 20 years, ties to Saddam Hussein, other suspicious middle eastern and African ties and ties to criminal elements. There were red flags in Germany prior to the rise of Adolf Hitler. The people chose to ignore them. They were swept up in the euphoria of the moment with a promise of change. Even though then, as now, words of racism, anti semitism and hate were being used,
    it was somebody else that was responsible for their problems. This is too important to characterize as a blacks versus whites issue. We are all Americans and we need to make an informed decision.

    Obama passport, Clinton passport, McCain passport, presidential candidate passport, disclosure

    Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and John McCain all had their passport information illegally viewed by State Department workers. I am for the protection of private information and obeying the law. However, I believe that this information should be disclosed, legally. Does anyone agree with me?

    Obama racist? Pastor Jeremiah Wright is racist, anti semitic, Obama’s Christian claims, Jeremiah Wright Christian?

    The more I examine Barack Obama and those he has associated with, the more concerned I am. Obama has stated he is a Christian and not a Muslim. However, look at the seeds he has sown. For the moment, let’s examine only the Church Obama has been attending and the pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who recently resigned. I will leave the subject of Louis Farrakhan, another racist, being a member of the same church till later.

    There are several biblical verses that apply, such as “casting pearls among swine”, but we are all products of our environment. Barack Obama chose to attend Trinity United Church of Christ. The former pastor of this church, is not only a racist but also an anti semite. Check this out for yourself. Search on the internet and listen to the words coming out of the mouth of pastor Jeremiah Wright.

    According to Rush Limbaugh, and I agree, we do not know who Barack Obama is. He appears to live a double life.

    Iraq war, history 101, United Nations, US role, facts, revisionist history

    There are 1 or more people commenting on this blog that are purportedly University of Western Florida students. Responding with comments to my posts is ok. Disagreeing with me is ok. Trying to take over this blog is not. If you need a platform for your agenda, start your own blog.

    History 101 and the Iraq War

    Prerequisites: some fundamental knowledge of 20th century history. Closest analogy to Iraq war in past 100 years, World War II.

    Topic 1 – The Iraq war is costing a lot of money. There is a cost of action and a cost of inaction. Assignment: calculate the cost of World War II in today’s dollars. Cost in human lives. What would the dollar cost and human cost have been if we had not entered the war? What would the dollar cost and human cost have been if we had gotten involved 1 year earlier? 2 years earlier?

    Now, suppose we had not stopped the Iraq invasion of Kuwait. Now suppose we had left Saddam Hussein unchecked. Now factor in Iran and their desire for a nuclear capabability. Don’t believe for 1 minute that Iran has not been pursueing a nuclear program. A friend of mine 25 years ago was married to an Iranian nuclear physicist.

    Lesson: there is always a cost for action and a cost for inaction.

    Topic 2 – Does the US have a desire to police the world? The answer is no. The United Nations had a clear purpose to prevent Saddam Hussein from getting out of control. The United Nations failed to perform it’s duty. Why? Key members, France, Germany and Russia were “in bed” financially with Saddam Hussein. If my memory is correct, our so called policing was welcome in World War II when the world was going down the toilet and close to Nazi domination.

    Lesson: The US is forced into action by the irresponsibility of other nations. Fortunately, the Iraq war was a coalition of many countries including Great Britain and Australia.

    Myth: The US is the cause of death and injuries to the Iraqi People. This is an outright lie. The people saying this are liars. Saddam Hussein, remnants of his regime, factional frictions and outside radical Islamic cowards are the cause. And yes, anyone that would attack innocent women and children or ask them to become a weapon, that person is the lowest level of coward. Radical Islamists, if you were real men, you would face American men face to face and not send women and children to do your evil killing.

    Any questions, class?

    Iraq War justification, Iraq War reasons, can we justify, George W Bush or Bill Clinton, media lies, political lies, truth

    On February 23, 2008 I posted the following:

    https://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/iraq-war-justification-iraq-war-reasons-can-we-justify-hillary-clinton-john-mccain-barrack-obama/

    This post was a list of 10 quotes regarding Saddam Hussein. I did not provide the source of the quotes at that time. Many people, for whatever reason, believe only George W Bush took the posture indicated in the quotes, when in reality, the entire Clinton administration believed that Saddam Hussein had WMD, had used them on his own people, posed a real threat and that the US was ready to stop him. All of the quotes from the original post came from the Clinton Administration. Below are the original quotes, followed by the source and the dates. Also, below, I have supplied the links to the CNN articles that contain the quotes. Interesting, isn’t it? Think of all the lies that have been told about George W Bush and the acceptance of revisionist history.

    ” We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the
    stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass
    destruction.”  “The chemical weapons Saddam has used and the biological weapons we know he has tested pay no attention to borders and nationalities.”   Madeleine Albright, February 1, 1998

    2.  “If diplomacy runs out, we have reserved the right to use
    force and if we do so it will be substantial.”   Madeleine Albright, February 1, 1998

    3.  “No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing.  He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators.”   Madeleine Albright, February 18, 1998

    4.  “What we are doing is so that you all can sleep at night.  I am very proud of what we are doing.  We are the greatest nation in the world and what we are doing is being the indispensable nation, willing to make the world safe for our children and grandchildren, and for nations who follow the rules.”    Madeleine Albright, February 18, 1998

    5.  “Saddam (Hussein) must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.”   Bill Clinton, December 16, 1998

    6.  “If Saddam can cripple the weapons inspections sytem and get away with it, he would conclude the international community, led by the United States, has simply lost its will.  He would surmise that he has free rein to rebuild his arsenal of destruction.”   Bill Clinton, December 16, 1998

    7.  “Earlier today I ordered America’s armed forces to strike
    military and security targets in Iraq.  They are joined by British forces.  Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.  While other countires also had weapons of mass desctuction, Hussein is in a different category because he has used such weapons
    against his own people and against his neighbors.   Bill Clinton, December 16, 1998

    8.  “Along with Prime minister (Tony)Blair of Great Britain, I made it equally clear that if Saddam failed to cooperate fully we would be prepared to act without delay, diplomacy or warning.”   Bill Clinton, December 16, 1998

    9.  “The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi goverment — a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people.”   Bill Clinton, December 16, 1998

    10.  “But once more, the United States has proven that although we are never eager to use force, when we must act in America’s vital interests, we will do so.”   Bill Clinton, December 16, 1998
