  • Here are some interesting tidbits that the left media refuses to put out in the open.

    The last paragraph from the renewamerica link says it all. "Obama speaks in slogans and never explains the thinking that goes into his statements."

    Still can't believe how people have heart-shaped eyeballs for this guy like a teenage girl with a crush.

    Less than a week to go...

  • Mike:

    You hit the nail on the head with this one! If it was a figure of Obama the media would have treated it much differently and it would have been said that McCain had tied the rope.

    I guess it goes right along with the "Slap a Jew Day" in MO for "spirit week" and "Burn a Jew" in Ohio. What are we teaching our children?

    What a world we live in. How can we even think this guy is okay to have the keys to the big house?!?! Are we nuts? The choices are not good but there is bad and there is worse. I hope we vote smart.

  • Check into the news in Oregon, because on September 24 2008 at a christian college in Newberg, Oregon, someone did hang an effigy of Obama from a tree. And there were no race riots. There should of been though. But you didn't notice this because you only pay attention to conservative news, yes.

  • Oh and on Oct 22 of this year, a man in Fairfield Ohio hung a ghost with Obama's picture on it, from a tree in his front yard. Which was inspired by news story from NYC, where someone set up a display with McCain dressed in KKK bedsheets chasing Obama. And guess what there were no riots. I guess the general public is smarter then you think, when it comes to riots and silly displays. It's like Guy fox Day, what fun.

    Your fear mongering again, sir.

  • Barack H. Obama did his best to stop a radio interview he gave in 2001 from being heard during his campaign. He failed. The audio was posted just yesterday on YouTube. It has already been viewed by almost half a million Americans! Please consider passing this brief email on. Don't just send it to fellow Conservatives, but also to your Liberal friends who are about to make the grave mistake of voting for this duplicitous politician from the corrupt Chicago political machine. As in most areas, Obama has two faces. The real Obama and the candidate Obama. This is a rare glimpse into how he really views the Constitution, recorded before his campaign began and he started pretending respect for the Constitution and the Framers.

    OBAMA SAYS CONSTITUTION'S "DEEP FLAW" CONTINUES TODAY

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11OhmY1obS4&eurl=http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home...

    (This is a word for word transcription of entire audio) "I think we can say that, uh, uh, the Constitution reflected a enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day, and, and, uh, that the Framers had that same blind spot. I, I, I don't think the two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document, uh, that paved the way for where we are now, and to say that it also, uh, reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day."

    RADIO INTERVIEW AHOWS OBAMA'S CONTEMPT FOR THE CONSTITUTION; HE COMPLAINS THE SUPREME COURT NEVER "BROKE FREE FROM THE CONSTRAINTS THE FOUNDERS PLACED IN THE CONSTITUTION" WHICH INHIBIT THE "REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH."

    OBAMA WBEV-FM Radio, Chicago 2001

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivL4c_3pck&eurl=http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home...

    (Highlights from the four minute audio) Obama decries the fact that "…the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and sort of, basic issues of political and, and, and economic justice in this society." ("Economic justice in LiberalSpeak means taking money from people who work, and giving to people who won't work.)

    He complained that the radical Warren Supreme Court wasn't radical enough, because it "...didn't break free from the essential constraints placed, uh, uh, by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution." He went on to complain that, "The Constitution doesn't say what the… government MUST DO on your behalf." (Things like supplying our every need from cradle to grave, all the while controlling every aspect of our lives.)

    The tape concludes with Senator Government saying that the TRAGEDY of the civil rights movement was that the Constitution wasn't radically interpreted to force redistribution of wealth by the government. "We still suffer from that."

    In answer to a question from a caller, he said that he didn't know if the courts could bring about "major redistribution of wealth" or "economic justice," but that he believed it could be accomplished politically. (If you were wondering about Obama's presidential priorities, wonder no more.)

    Incidentally, in an effort to bolster the radios audience's confidence in his pretended Constitutional expertise, Obama referred to himself as a Law Professor. Just one more of his many lies. The radio interviewer properly introduced him with his real title -- "senior lecturer". This is a position often given to post-graduate students. Obama was never a Professor.

  • I'm scared Mike.....I'm trying not to be, but I'm really, really frightened about this Marxist/socialist being our Commander in Chief.

  • I live in Oregon now. The story about the George Fox University students hanging the Obama cut out from a tree is true.

    It was racially motivated (as stated on the sign accompanying the hanging figure). It was given some press. People were mad. There was no rioting. The school took it down and found out who the students were etc.

    The hanging Palin figurine made the Portland news last night too. LA officials investigated and searched for a legal basis to make the homeowners remove the mannequin, but there isn't one.

    Perhaps your news sources just aren't covering very much??

  • A simple Internet search will find all you need to know. I heard it on a radio station a couple a months back as well as saw it on the T.V. I'm into checking most of the media outlets to fact check, not just one source. It's easier to put together the facts/lies that way. Root out the bias on all fronts and piece things together.

  • Amen as usual Mike. When this smoke screen clears and if Mr. Obama is our new leader..... well, can he control Mrs Pelosi, Mr Reed and the like......I doubt it......I'm scared

  • Hang on tight people....it's going to be a very sad state of affairs in this country and it's going to take nothing short of a miracle to get it all straightened out. I do have faith that will happen....but who knows when??? I think our politicians have forgotten that we are still "One Nation under God"...now most of them think that they are Gods themselves.

  • Check this out who think potentate Obama is the ONE...

    Obama has already promised a weird, 250,000 person "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as our military...isn't that a TAD creepy...even Third Reich-ish? He has started "truth squads" to find and prosecute people responsible for negative ads he doesn't like...his campaign has black-listed media outlets who asked questions he didn't like...he sent the secret service to investigate a Lufkin, Texas woman who answered an Obama phone survey in a way he didn't appreciate...he has already PROMISED to crush the 1st Amendment rights of talk radio stations and their hosts...and he even said in a 2001 interview that it was tragic that the Earl Warren Supreme Court didn't "break free from the essential constraints set by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution." And all of this...even BEFORE he's been elected. Isn't any of that just a little frightening to you?

    I don't know...

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is HONOR and TRUE patriotism, and there are way too many people(mostly politicians and liberals) in this country who no longer understand what the word means anymore.

  • Here is a quote from ol' Ronnie:

    "It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment. . . . All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government. It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government."

  • The media is bought and paid for.
