I did not write this. Wish I had though.lol Trying to find out who the author is to give proper credit.

Update: Hal Lindsey wrote it.

Obama Youth

Georgia Rep. Paul Broun formally apologized to his constituents for
comments he made concerning Barack Obama's proposed civilian security
force. Broun compared it to those of a Marxist dictator.

I read through Broun's comments carefully. Broun related the
historical facts concerning the use of internal security services by
both the Nazis and the Soviets pretty accurately.

Where he got into hot water was when mentioned Hitler and Obama in the
same sentence: "That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and
it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's
proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him,
that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being
Marxist."

Broun was immediately denounced as a "far right nut job" by the
ever-tolerant left with editorials calling for everything from his
impeachment to his commitment to a mental hospital. (Sounds like he
inadvertently discovered another similarity to the political climate
of past dictatorships.)

I went back and read what Obama said last July: "We cannot continue to
rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security
objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national
security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as
well-funded.
Maybe Broun is a far right nut job and all that, but the fact is, both
Hitler and Stalin organized para-military security forces loyal only
to them – and immediately denounced any who dared criticize the plan.
I don't know what Obama has in mind in the U.S., but a para-military
civilian force as powerful, as strong and as well-funded as a nation's
military is what they used, too.

When Obama mentioned it on the campaign trail, I thought maybe it was
some kind of "red meat" being tossed to a far-left liberal audience to
grab a few votes, not a formal policy. Then I read WorldNetDaily's
report regarding Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel's interview
outlining the vision.

(Obama's website says his civilian force will "require" middle school
students to participate. Whether Broun is nuts or not, Hitler also
required middle school students to join his student army, known as the
Hitler Youth.)

"If you're worried about, are you going to have to do 50 jumping
jacks, the answer is yes," Emanuel told the interviewer, a reporter
who was podcasting for the New York Daily News at the time. "Somewhere
between the age of 18 to 25 you will do three months of training. You
can do it at some point in your college time," Emanuel said in the
interview.

"There can be nothing wrong with all Americans having a joint, similar
experience of what we call civil defense training or civil service,"
Rahm continued. "There will be a body of citizens who are ready,
capable and trained."

Ready, capable and trained. ... Broun found some disturbing historical
similarities here? REALLY! And he said them out loud! He must be
punished! Even if he apologized. That's not enough!

Nope. I don't see any historical similarities developing. Clearly,
Rep. Broun has slipped a couple of cogs ...

I'll have to cut this column short. I'm late for a book-burning.

 

Okay, I didn`t vote for Obama and don`t agree with his politics, BUT no one has the right to insult him except his fellow Americans! lol Seriously though, I got pissed off reading this article. I know it`s a loony that`s being quoted, but it really pissed me off.  Mr Whacko says Obama is not an honorable black like Malcolm X. In other words Obama is not a practicing Muslim like Malcolm X was and will not cater to Mr Whackos agenda.

( While I have much respect for Malcolm`s memory -  he escaped The Nation of Islams racist nuttiness to practice real Islam after performing the Haj and seeing Muslims of all colors worshippping together - in reality he just exchanged one frying pan in the fire for another. )

Mr Whacko only sees Malcoms muslimness though which apparently makes him honorable and then goes on to call Obama a house negro doing the bidding of whites. From Mr Whackos pronouncements Obama appears to be viewed as an apostate Muslim. While not worthy of death, since he didn`t renounce Islam as an adult, he is worthy of being verbally abused and ridiculed for not being "honorable" ( being a non Muslim ). Only Muslims are honorable in Mr Whackos universe.

I could fill a library or two or three with examples of Al-Qaida`s sense of "honor" and puke at the same time at the gross hypocrisy, but their racists rants are example enough. Not too much difference between them and loony Farrakhan after all is there?  

For those who are under the spell of "Islam is a peaceful religion and there is just a small minority of extremists ruining it for everyone".........

Please note how many in the "peaceful" Muslim world view Bin Laden as a hero and also viewed Saddam as a hero. How many average Muslims passed out candy and danced in the streets of not only the Palestinian sections of Israel, but our Dearborn after 9/11. Note also the laws in many "peaceful" Muslim countries that allow the death penalty for just changing your mind and following after another religion. There is no such creature as peaceful Islam. It was founded on violence, war and conquest and oppression. These so called extremists are just acting out it`s original mission.......to conquer the world for Allah by any means necessary. Those who attempt to divide it into peaceful and extremist camps have not studied its history or the Koran. There is only one ultimate goal. A Muslim world.  

 

Al-Qaida No. 2 insults Obama with racial epithet

Nov 19 11:12 AM US/Eastern
By MAAMOUN YOUSSEF and LEE KEATH
Associated Press Writers

 

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites.

The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Ayman al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.

In al-Qaida's first response to Obama's victory, al-Zawahri also called the president-elect—along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice—"house negroes."

Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term "abeed al-beit," which literally translates as "house slaves." But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as "house negroes."

The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters' house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites.

The 11-minute 23-second video features the audio message by al-Zawahri, who appears only in a still image, along with other images, including one of Obama wearing a Jewish skullcap as he meets with Jewish leaders. In his speech, al-Zawahri refers to a Nov. 5 U.S. airstrike attack in Afghanistan, meaning the video was made after that date.

Al-Zawahri said Obama's election has not changed American policies he said are aimed at oppressing Muslims and others.

"America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always," the deputy of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden said.

He said Obama's plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist.

"Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them," he said.

Al-Zawahri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama that he was "facing a Jihadi (holy war) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see."

He said Obama's victory showed Americans acknowledged that President George W. Bush's policies were a failure and that the result was an "admission of defeat in Iraq."

But Obama's professions of support for Israel during the election campaign "confirmed to the Ummah (Islamic world) that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims," al-Zawahri said.

'Pregnant man,' wife: We're a normal couple

I watched Larry King last night and his interview with the so called pregnant man. I guess the word normal just doesn`t mean what it used to.

Normal according to the pregnant man and his wife.........

They met 18 years ago when both were women. They fell in love as women. The "wife" was married at one time to a real man and had children by him. When asked if she was gay she replied I am attracted to a person not their sex. Round about way of saying she is a bi sexual. lol

Preggie man decides she no longer wishes to be a masculine lesbian, gets her boobs chopped off and begins male hormones which allows her female clitoris to enlarge and it now mimics a male penis. She chose to keep her womb, ovaries and vagina though.

She has been declared legally a man and they married as male and female.

The "hubby" was artificially inseminated by the "wifey" with donor sperm and the "hubby" gave birth to a daughter. Only problem, no one knew what to put on the birth certificate, so they both are just listed as parent. The "hubby"is now pregnant again and worries if she died what would happen to the children seeing as they are not biologically related to the "wifey", have not been adopted by her and are in legal limbo, kinda, sorta, maybe. Oh who knows! lol

But this is all "normal" to them......just a "normal couple"...:O)

A modified lesbian and a bi sexual in reality playing selfish games with childrens lives. No, this is not normal.

Good site on Middle East Affairs, Islam and Obama.

Been listening to all of the hoopla over Obama maybe picking Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Can anyone tell me what even qualifies her for that position? She was a lawyer, a Governors wife, a President wife and now a Jr. Senator. Heck, what even qualified her to be a US Senator? She held no political office before ascending to the Senate. If being someones wife is a qualification then I should be qualified as a master mechanic like my hubby. Would you trust ME with your car or truck? :O) Her interest is foreign relations it is said. No experience in it other than being the wife of a politician, but she is interested in it. Okay, I`m interested in mountain climbing..........no experience, but I should be able to lead an expedition right? lol Obama summed up during the campaign her foreign policy experience........."talking with someone in an ambassadors house or having tea with someone.........." but now he is considering her for the ultimate foreign affairs job? Say what?

Her sense of entitlement is amazing as well. She ran for President and did not make the nomination. Two other women who did make the nomination for Vice President in the past ( Ferrarro and Palin ) bowed out gracefully. Hillary though drug out her concession for a whole week  or so, had a "secret" meeting with Obama in DC,  staged a huge campaign ending speech and then wouldn`t release her delegates until the convention where she dramatically allowed her name to be entered into nomination, a vote called that she dramatically stopped, had a huge farewell speech...........remember she did not get the nomination.....I repeat did not.....lol She stole Obama`s thunder and ensured she would be a footnote in history. This is who we want representing us on the world stage???????? An actress? A glory hound?  And we can`t forget her hubby who`ll be able to dip his toes in everything via her.

Again I ask though.............what qualifies her? Secretary of State is not supposed to be a reward position like an ambassadors posting is. Her hubby has world connections some say, well give him the job then. ( said jokingly mind you lol ) She is not qualified in any way, shape or form though.

 

 

Friend sent this to me totally outraged at this dirtbags stupidity.

This sob should be reported and arrested.

Kayne West says he`s the "voice of this generation"

LONDON (AP) - Kanye West is to music what Michael Jordan was to basketball—at least that West thinks, in his humble estimation. "I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice," he said in an interview on Wednesday.

"It's me settling into that position of just really accepting that it's one thing to say you want to do it and it's another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan."

The Grammy-winning rapper-producer said Justin Timberlake had a chance to be music's MVP, but hasn't put out enough material. (Timberlake's last album was in 2006, while West released a CD last year and is releasing his latest—"808s and Heartbreak"—on Nov. 24.)

"There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums," he said. "And it just came out to be that."

West, 31, said life has been difficult since his mother's death. Donda West died last November after having plastic surgery.

"I'm just going through balancing that. And I always used to have that support system, you know. My mom would be there; no matter what, she was there before everything," he said. "We were together for like 30 years. And you know now when I'm on that stage and I look out and I say, 'What am I going to do with the rest of my life?' Like when does a real life start?' Because I have sacrificed real life to be a celebrity and to give this art to people, which is great. It is great that I was able to do that, I'm not trying to shun that in any way, but it's definitely a Catch-22 and it's bittersweet."

 

Well let`s see what Mr. "Voice" has to say............without the music, light show, half naked dancers and fog machines...........just Mr. Voices words........

God help this generation........

I read a blog entry on DebbieSchlussel.com yesterday about Obama not having held a funeral for his grandma yet and to be honest I thought she was just nitpicking at first. Then today I read this article elsewhere online. There will be a memorial, BUT none of the family will attend?????? I thought this was THE woman who shaped him and gave up so much for him throughout the years. The wonderful example of self-sacrificing love. Him and his sis won`t attend, but do invite the public to pay their last respects. So Joe Public is to do Obama and his sisters duty for them? Also seeing as she wasn`t really famous or a public figure and given her advanced age what portion of the public at large will attend other than a few old friends who may have survived her and some tabloid shutterbugs? This man is slowly but surely getting on my last nerve.

 

Public Tribute Planned For Obama's Grandmother Obama Family Not Scheduled To Attend Service

 

POSTED: 11:35 am HST November 12, 2008 UPDATED: 11:56 am HST November 12, 2008 HONOLULU -- A tribute service for President-elect Barack Obama's grandmother has been scheduled for the public to attend.

 

The service to honor Madelyn Dunham will be held on Friday at 5 p.m. at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl.

 

Dunham died Nov. 2, just two days before the nation elected her grandson as president.

 

Obama talked about losing the woman who helped raise him on the final day of campaigning.

 

Obama took a break from his campaign two weeks ago to visit Dunham at her Beretania Street apartment. He visited just days before she turned 86.

 

She was suffering from cancer and recovering from a broken hip when he visited, sources said.

 

Obama called her "Toot," short for tutu, or grandmother.

 

Borthwick Mortuary officials said Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, has been in contact with them about holding the tribute. The family wanted an opportunity for the public to remember Dunham.

 

Madelyn Dunham was one of the first women vice presidents at the Bank of Hawaii. Co-workers said she was a well respected business woman.

 

The family will not be in attendance of the event. President-elect Obama and his family is expected to return to Oahu in December.

 

Instead of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to organizations working for a cure for cancer.

WDIV Detroit

DETROIT -- The Detroit City Council voted on a non-binding resolution Wednesday that asks for a $10 billion bailout for the city as part of the federal government’s recently approved $700 billion bailout package.

 

The resolution was not on the city council’s agenda and was brought up at the end of the meeting by Council President Pro Tem JoAnn Watson.

 

Watson said the city needs the funds to spread offer more employment, improve transportation and rebuild the crumbling housing industry in the area.

I thought the bailout was for the banks, etc. Look at greedy Detroit standing with their hands out. LOL If Detroit fails financially it won`t bring down the country or global markets. Word up JoAnn......what your asking for is what City taxes and funds should pay for. If you hadn`t of let KK run rampant with the finances rewarding his family and friends so generously maybe you`d have some money. lol Back of the line toots.

Gay rights protesters disrupt Sunday service People threw fliers, shouted slogans at Delta Township church

Kathleen Lavey • klavey@lsj.com • November 12, 2008 • From Lansing State Journal

 

DELTA TWP. - A radical gay rights group is claiming responsibility for a protest Sunday at Mount Hope Church in Delta Township.

Protesters who entered the Creyts Road church along with worshippers surprised the congregation when they stood up during the service, threw fliers at churchgoers and shouted slogans such as "It's OK to be gay," and "Jesus was a homo," according to David Williams, communications director at the church. His father, Dave Williams, is the church's longtime pastor. He was not preaching at the church Sunday.

Another group of protesters demonstrated outside the church at the same time as the indoor protest.

The Eaton County Sheriff's Department responded to the scene Sunday but no arrests were made.

In a released statement, David Williams said churchgoers were unclear as to the purpose of the demonstration.

A Lansing group affiliated with a radical gay organization known as Bash Back, formed to protest the Republican and Democratic national conventions earlier this year, put out a call on the Internet on Oct. 7 for activists to come to a "radical queer convergence" in Lansing on Nov. 7-9.

A posting on its MySpace page declared the convergence a "fierce success."

Fire alarm pulled

According to a report on the Bash Back group's news site, protesters inside the church pulled a fire alarm, unfurled a banner from the church balcony, shouted and threw fliers to the worshippers.

Outside the church, protesters carried picket signs and an upside-down, pink cross.

The conservative RightMichigan Web site posted an account of the incident Monday, and a number of conservative bloggers had picked up on the item by Tuesday.

Williams said the church had received 80 to 85 e-mails and phone calls by Tuesday, "from churches and individuals around the country to express their concern and general disgust for what happened on Sunday."

Nick De Leeuw of RightMichigan said he got his account of the incident from a church member who was there.

However, he said, the photo along with his report - of protesters dressed in black with their faces covered by pink, Middle-Eastern style headcoverings - was not from the protest at the church but from an earlier Bash Back protest elsewhere.

No arrests made

Mount Hope Church, affiliated with the Assemblies of God denomination, teaches followers that homosexuality is a sin.

However, "Mount Hope Church strives to follow Jesus' example of loving the sinner but not the sin," Williams said.

The Eaton County Sheriff's Department got a call regarding the protest at about noon Sunday, said Lt. Jeff Warder.

Warder said protesters outside the church left peacefully when someone from the team of pastors came outside and told them they were not welcome on church property.

Warder said deputies did not handle the protest inside the building.

No arrests were made.

In New York City on Tuesday, the conservative Catholic League said it would ask Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox to investigate the protest.

Typically, the sheriff's investigation would be turned over to the county prosecutor if the sheriff felt charges were warranted, said Matt Frendewey, spokesman for the attorney general's office. He said it would be rare for the attorney general's office to get involved in such a case.

Hmmmmmmm I wonder if a bunch of evangelicals walked into Affirmations of Ferndale or The Triangle Foundation pulling the same stunt would have gotten away without any hate crimes or intimidation charges or arrests? But to disrupt a worship service, A WORSHIP SERVICE........is fine and dandy.

HAMAS' President-Elect: Obama Was Talking to HAMAS for Months Using "Fired" Advisor

By Debbie Schlussel

Remember Robert Malley, the pro-HAMAS, rabidly anti-Israel foreign policy advisor whom Barack Obama claimed he fired from his campaign when Malley's extremist point of view came to light?

Well, not only was that a lie--Malley was NOT fired--but Malley has been making entreaties to HAMAS on behalf of Obama for months. I'm sure all the dummies--Jewish and otherwise--who voted for this man for President won't care about this latest news, since they weren't bothered by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn.

Ahmad Yousuf, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's political advisor, said that during the recent US presidential race a secret meeting between senior Islamist group figures and advisors to President-elect Barack Obama was held in Gaza.

Mazel Tov, American Jews!: Obama Hearts HAMAS

"We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to come out with any statements, as they may have a negative effect on his election campaign and be used by Republican candidate John McCain (to attack Obama)," Yousuf said in an interview with London-based Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat, published Tuesday.

Yousuf said Hamas's contact with Obama's advisors was ongoing, adding that he was still on good terms with some of the aides he had befriended while residing in the US.

 

Those "advisors" include Robert Malley--the "fired" Robert Malley--who wasn't so fired after all.

Obama lied, people will die.

My friend, Jerusalem Post investigative Reporter Michael Freund writes:

There you have it - proof positive that Obama just can't wait to start talking with Hamas, cuddling up with them, and ultimately appeasing them, despite their bloody record of terror against the Jewish state.

Most American Jews chose to vote for the Democrats, but what they got instead are the Defeatocrats, and ultimately it is Israel that will be made to pay the price.

Don't say we didn't warn you.

 

Sadly, those of us who do care will have to howl at the wind--the wind of 55 million-plus who didn't vote for HAMAS' newest BFF (Best Friend Forever).

It's tragic that on this Veteran's Day--while our troops continue to serve in harm's way fighting Islamic terrorists--our future Commander-in-Chief has already been spending months making nice-nice with Islamic terrorists.

G-d help this sinking nation.

***

Oh, and please don't send me the "But He's Jewish" e-mails about Malley. Yes, he is, and ironically, Malley's father was an Egyptian Jew--as in Egypt, the country that expelled tens of thousands of its Jews from their homes and kicked them out of the country for being Jews.

What can I say?--I've always known that the Jews' worst enemies are . . . the Jews, especially the vast majority who've forsaken our conservative religion and pride for myopic liberalism and apologism.

Santayana may be over-quoted, but he was right. Too many Jews have doomed themselves to repeating our persecution over and over and over again.

Farrakhan Praises Obama, Compares Him To RFK

Louis Farrakhan, controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, on Sunday hailed US president-elect Barack Obama as an extraordinary leader but warned his victory would stir up racial animosity.

Farrakhan, 75, said that Obama's presidential candidacy had excited the nation in a way not seen since Robert Kennedy ran for the White House in 1968, and that he had been moved by the "oneness of spirit" he saw among voters, particularly on election night in Chicago.

But he said the country remained "divided and polarized," and he warned that the president-elect faced a daunting task in taking the reins of the nation during one of the most troubled periods in its history.

Many of the voters that backed Republican Senator John McCain "were older Americans and most reside below the Mason-Dixon line where racial attitudes and traditions die hard," he said in a reference to the American South.

"We can change laws, but it's difficult to change attitudes," he told a congregation of about 1,200 people at Mosque Maryam on Chicago's South Side.

He cited news reports that gun sales had surged since Obama's electoral victory, and told of how fights reportedly broke out in some schools, with white students chanting "white power," while blacks students chanted "black power."

"I'm sure that many of our people have unfortunately lost their lives because of the absolute hatred that is manifested now that one of our own has risen to such a high office," he told the crowd at the national headquarters of the Nation of Islam.

Farrakhan is the leader of the religious group which rose to national prominence under Malcolm X during the civil rights movement.

He has been an influential voice but often a lightning rod for criticism with his incendiary remarks prompting charges of anti-Semitism and homophobia. He made headlines with his accusations that the government deliberately blew up levees in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in an attempt to wipe out the city's black population.

On Sunday, he also said that the gracious concession speech given by McCain had not assuaged "the pain of loss and frustration and disappointment to those who felt great pain at Obama's rise."

And he said that for some people, the prospect of a black family in the White House, was a "sacrilege."

But he said Obama had reached out to those voters who did not cast a ballot for him, pledging to earn their support and represent them too.

Farrakhan heaped praise upon Obama during the long speech, and said he could speak openly now that the election was wrapped up and his comments could not be used to hurt the Illinois senator.

He never formally endorsed Obama during the long campaign, apparently conscious that such a step might handicap the aspiring presidential candidate given Farrakhan's divisive reputation.

On one occasion during the battle for the Democratic party nomination, Farrakhan did speak in glowing terms of the Obama, saying he was the only man who could heal the racial divisions in the United States and that he carried the hopes of the "entire world" for a better America.

But shortly afterwards, during a televised debate with his primary opponents in February, Obama distanced himself from the controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, saying he had publicly disavowed Farrakhan's anti-Semitic comments, and had not sought his support.

 

 

Farrakhan`s snow job. With mouths like Farrakhan`s keeping racial tensions at the forefront I`m sure they will never die down. He needs to review the election map and see where all of the red states are. Looks pretty evenly divided between those who live above and below the Mason-Dixon line. You can`t chide him too much though, racial hatred is his livlihood and his income would drastically drop if everyone lived in peace. lol I`m sure Jackson and Sharpton are having major fits as well, albeit in private.

"I'm sure that many of our people have unfortunately lost their lives because of the absolute hatred that is manifested now that one of our own has risen to such a high office," he told the crowd at the national headquarters of the Nation of Islam.

Methinks he is quite deluded. I`ve heard of no loss of life due to last Tuesdays outcome....no absolute hatred manisfested nationwide....have you? Perhaps it is wishful thinking on his part. Great loss of life due to racial hatred would pad his coffers quite well. Moron.

 

With regards to the Line. It was originally a survey line dividing Pennsylvania and Maryland but came to represent the line between North and South. The South/Confederacy ( the people Farrakhan is referring to ) is depicted on this map.

Farrakhan can`t count  the western red states in his rant. Get thee to a map Louis!

Obama at his press conference yesterday had a placard on the podium that read Office of the President-Elect. What office? There is no such office. lol Did he get sworn into that non existant office?  A tad bit presumptuous if you ask me. He keeps saying there is only one President and that should be honored and respected. What then is this rival court he has set up until Jan 20th? He has done so well throughout his campaign.......what`s happening to him?

I just watched Obama`s press conference. Granholm is one of his transition ECONOMIC advisors????????????????????????????????????? Ok, so the USA will be like Michigan economically? Lord help us!

My mind was on other things today...........

Our first grandchild, a boy, decided to arrive today! :)
