Obama’s one regret sickening, to say least.

Posted by americana83 on February 28, 2008

Obama chose as his response to the question of one regret, probably the only truly bipartisan and solidly moral vote he ever made. Who in their right mind could, if given the chance to look back over years of their life, would choose to regret trying to save someone who couldn’t save herself?

Perhaps this gives us all further incite into the  mind of a man who goes far beyond almost anyone else in the pro-choice camp. This despite the professed RACISM of Planned Parenthood, one of the largest abortion supporters.

As sick as his regret about attempting to save Schiavo’s life actually makes Obama’s stance consistent with his other views. Barack Obama clearly promotes a culture of death for those who cannot speak for themselves.

If you support life, don’t support Barack Obama.

Race to the Bottom: Planned Parenthood hates “black” babies!

Posted by americana83 on February 27, 2008

Here’s an excerpt from the article. For more about this, and the most recent atrocity, check out the article here:

“Students on campus are shocked and saddened that such a huge organization would have racist leanings in the present day,” she told WND. “They are surprised to hear the truth about [Planned Parenthood founder] Margaret Sanger, and how the African-American community is being hurt by abortion.

“There’s a lot of surprise out there. Planned Parenthood does an excellent job of covering up the facts,” she said.

Sanger supported eugenics to cull those she considered unfit from the population. In 1921, she said eugenics is “the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.”

At one point, she lamented “the ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.” Another time, Sanger wrote, “We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”

Apparently murder of innocents is not enough to indict Planned Parenthood as an atrocity in the minds of Americans. Perhaps ugly unabashed racist rantings will help open our eyes to the evils of this organization

Lights out on Edison’s invention, Congress kills traditional light bulb

Posted by americana83 on February 27, 2008

Really, doesn’t congress have better things to do and bigger problems to tackle than Edison’s evil little invention? Green Peace activists the world over are cheering, but others are standing around scratching their heads. Much like congresses brilliant decision to kill off standard over the air TV, congress leaps over the technology curve to force a still maturing technology.

A green website concludes their article with this:

“A few decades from now, people may look back on incandescent light bulbs as relics so inefficient that they are dangerous”

There are still questions about the safety of the new bulb. Here are some of the virtues of the new bulb.

Why not let consumers vote? I guess congress just likes playing big brother on the small things, while giving people the free choice to kill children. It makes no sense!

Obama praised by Farrakhan as “hope of the world”

Posted by americana83 on February 25, 2008

Despite Obama’s attempts to distance himself from hatemonger Farrakhan, Farrakhan still loves him. According to an article published by the Anti Defamation League:

When someone close to a political figure shows sympathy and support for an individual who makes his name espousing bigotry, that political figure needs to distance himself from that decision.   Senator Obama has done just that.

However, he must not be too distant from Farrakhan. He continues to extol Obama’s virtue. Just a brief exert from his recent “Saviors” day speech will show what Loius thinks of Barack:

“If you look at Barack Obama’s [diverse] audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed from what they were,” Farrakhan said. “This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be a better place.”

The Nation of Islam is a “rich blend” of fanatical Islam mixed with violent racial and religious bigotry. It’s embrace of Barack Obama should lead us all to examine Barack’s faith and values. Faith is a personal issues, yes. But the faith of the leader of the United States will affect his views and actions. The Nation of Islam would not embrace a practicing Christian, which Barack professes to be. Barack is a member of a racialist church which espouses a commitment to Africa above anything else(This is an archived copy of the page, you can see the current page here- it was changed because of questions raised about the “Black Values System”).

The president of the United States is to uphold and defend the Constitution above all else. Values and integrity are required to uphold and defend the rights of those who cannot defend their own.

Obama’s riding a wave of Rhetoric that will wash over America should he be elected president. This wave will do to America what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

Quotable Quote: Susan Supports Barack, whatever he stands for!

Posted by americana83 on February 25, 2008

I think this quote says volumes not only about Barack Obama’s core supporters, but also about his campaign.

 Susan Sarandon: Well, I’m going to back Obama. But I hope - I think that he, as a symbol, has really excited people, and he’s definitely confusing to everyone who really hates America for hating Muslims because a name like Obama and a Black man, they’re probably going to go “Oh, wait a minute - what?” It’s kind of like when you’re out on the line for freedom to have an abortion and you’re incredibly pregnant. They just can’t quite figure it out.

So I think he definitely has convinced people that he stands for change and for hope, and I can’t wait to see what he stands for.

 Quote source: http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200802/20080211_sarandon.html

He is being used as a symbol, I guess to tout that the Democratic party is tolerant despite including Robert Byrd (former KKK member) and despite its repeated dragging down of the historic civil rights movement by merging it with the homosexual and abortion movement (or the freedom to murder babies late term that Susan gushes about so giddily.

Obama “Tolerant” of Intolerance: Worked with group that opposes existence of Israel

Posted by americana83 on February 25, 2008

Source:

The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe” and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.

The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.

The name of the group is the Arab American Action Network(AAAN), a group that opposes Israel’s existence and holds that denying drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants is anti-Arab bigotry. The official website for the AAAN has only an ad for a concert (as of2/25/08). Googling for the website brings up this page, not linked to on the home page, which seems to be seeking stories from people about before Israel’s existence.

Further,

Robert Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.

Israel has been the most stable and anti-terrorist nation in the Middle East. Any presidential candidate who opposes or is sympathetic to those who oppose Israel’s existence will only cause America trouble.

Polygraph Test Failed, Obama Clear on Charges?

Posted by americana83 on February 25, 2008

Larry Sinclair has failed the polygraph tests regarding sex and drug use with Barack Obama given by Whitehouse.com. In my opinion, that could open up the door for Obama to sue the man for slander. The full results of the polygraph test will be released tomorrow.

He may well be clear of this charge of moral corruption, but his recent double-talk with the Canadians over NAFTA, weak stance on national security, and his regret over trying to save Terri Schiavo still leave Barack far from sainthood…

America owes the LGBT “community”?

Posted by americana83 on February 23, 2008

Barack believe America owes the LGBT community, but what does America owe it? The “right” to marry? Marriage is nowhere guaranteed in the constitution. Further marriage by any major dictionary is a union between a man and a woman. They want to fundamentally rewrite the language of the nation to accommodate their lifestyle. They want sexual orientation, cross dressing, and transgenderism to be protected classes, privy to the same protections as women and ethnic minorities. If this happens, it will be the first time a non-physical changeable condition will be protected under federal discrimination law. The advocacy of this makes a mockery of the whole civil rights movement and criminalizes the thought and actions and beliefs of Christianity which are based on the Bible.

Gay City News Endorsement (From Barack Obama’s official campaign website)
(Bold words were highlighted by me)

In a presidential inaugural address that inspired a teenager from Hope, Arkansas named Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy famously urged Americans to focus not on what the country could do for them, but on what contributions they could make to the nation.

Mind you, we in the LGBT community are not yet nearly at the point where this nation has made good on the contributions it owes to our lives, our families, our well-being, even our equal citizenship. Faced with the choice of two progressive Democrats who have spoken at length and with conviction about the challenges facing our lives, we still don’t have the luxury of picking a candidate who will advocate for our right to marry. We must yet take it on faith that the next president will have the fortitude to insist that Congress - including too many stragglers within the Democratic Party - open up the nation’s military to out gay and lesbian patriots. It is far from certain that the next time the Democratic Congress takes up an employment nondiscrimination measure it will include transgendered Americans as well as gay men and lesbians among those protected.

But after seven years of George W. Bush, and compared against the prospect of either John McCain or Mitt Romney, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama truly offer hope to LGBT Americans that help is on the way.

Given that the two Democratic contenders share a similar, generally friendly and supportive posture toward LGBT Americans, we ought to think about the message our choice sends about a fundamental question - what our politics should be all about. We are finding our place here and there at the table, but we have also spent much of our life on the outside. The nation needs to hear our views on how American politics can accommodate new voices in the mix.

Judged by that measure and taking full stock of how the Democratic nomination contest has unfolded, we believe the choice is clear.

Gay City New endorses Barack Obama.

Because the government does not have  a special recognition of 2 people’s relationship does not mean they are unequal citizens. I would rather America remove any and all financial, tax, and social benefits of Marriage than to have the meaning of the word redefined so a certain segment of the population can feel better about itself and how the government endorses its relationships.

Content of our Character: Why America has not come as far as we think

Posted by americana83 on February 23, 2008

As we near the end of Black History Month, let us consider the famous words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

That is the dream, whereby man would look beyond the surface and judge men by their values, beliefs and standards. Much progress has been made in that direction in America.

We have gone from a time where the legal system looked another way when a black man whistled at a white woman. Racism has been evicted from America’s public square. By and large it only finds refuge in the hearts of men (and women) who’s hearts are hardened, who’s minds are narrow, who’s only claim to self worth is the putting down of another based on the color of their skin.

Today, however, skin color has again returned to America’s public square. As we race towards the 2008 presidential elections, change has become the buzz word. In many circles the prospect of a Black or woman president has trumped all other issues.

McCain, Bush, the Clintons are painted as stogy old white establishment types. Relative youth and skin color are trumpeted as the best assets of a candidate this year, in 2008.
The truth of the matter is this: once you peel off the surface, there is no substantial difference in the agendas that will be pursued by a President Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

There is a song that has been co-opted in some areas as a sort of theme song for this years election season: Matchbox 20’s “How far we’ve come.” The music video to this song seems to attempt a historical chronology of the women’s and civil rights movements, cumulating in cheering images of Barack Obama’s and Hillary’s supporters.

There is no doubt that the Civil Rights Movement and certain aspects of the women’s movement have legitimately leveled the social and economic playing fields. However, the problem comes when the cumulation of these efforts is presented as Hillary and Obama. The Euphoria over the potential of a “first” black/woman candidate has completely hijacked democrats and would be social progressives. Any attack that would be directed at Obama’s policies or values can, and sometimes is, twisted into racism. Gender and skin tone becomes a defense in liu of answers.

Barack Obama himself says he is gaging racism by whether or not whites vote for him.

“If I do well in Iowa, and if I do well in New Hampshire . . . then by the time we get to South Carolina, I think we will have dispelled the notion that somehow whites won’t vote for African Americans.” -SOURCE

This is audacious in every sense of the word. Ignoring the issues and diving straight for the cover all. I would vote for the President regardless of his or her color, that stands closest to what is best for America.

Barack Obama’s massive spending/taxing plans, advocacy for homosexuality, blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants, abortion views to the left of NARAL and NOW, coolness towards Israel, and his flippant attitude towards drugs will send this nation on a crash course with economic recession and moral decline. Ultimately the other 2 candidates, Hillary and McCain, are watered down versions of Obama’s radicalism (though in Hillary’s case only very slightly so).

It will send the message: Skin matters more than issues.

It sure seemed like we’ve come along way since Dr King’s famous speech. However, here we are as a nation still judging people by the color of their skin.

It will only be a matter of time before we are all judged for our actions this year. This election has the potential to change the heart and soul of a nation.

If you LOVE America, if you sincerely want the best for this country look behind the smooth talking, the glitzy publicity war, the buzz words and rock concert style slogans and chantings.

Look at the issues. Pray. We’re not voting for the next American Idol here. Image and stage presence are not going to save us all.

King was murdered for his bold position, that all men are equal. If you love civil rights, if you support on any level the legacy he has handed us down through the civil rights movement, then reject the politics of “famous firsts.” Focus on the issues. Focus on America.

Let’s live the dream.

Hypocrites in the Media: McCain’s sex scandal headline news, Obama’s ignored

Posted by americana83 on February 21, 2008

Has anyone else noticed this? Not long after the story broke NBC, ABC, Jay Leno and the others are all over McCain’s alleged affair. The lady involved in that alleged scandal has been offered money by the same website that offered Obama’s “friend” money to take a polygraph.

If McCain’s alleged sleaze is newsworthy, (and character issues are important to the presidency) then shouldn’t Obama’s accuser have his say in the media? Very unlikely, considering how even some “unbiased” <choke> reporters have swooned over Barack-a-palooza.
