Barack Hussein Obama is being less than specific about his connections to Islam in his past. BHO is a proud Leftist but rail if you called him a Communist; however he had a close association with an anti-war Marxist anarchist in Bill Ayers. BHO’s political career is tainted with associations of corruption with Tony Rezko. And now it is evident BHO has either welcomed or allowed Islamists and those connected with Islamist terrorism to work for him and/or donate money to his campaign.
Of course BHO is in a position of plausible deniability; nonetheless with all the Islamic and Leftist radicalism in his closet you would think BHO would be on his toes as to who he hired and alert about donations from Islamic individuals with links to Islamism and terrorism. After all monies were not returned until FBI public record defined potential terrorist links and Campaign staffers did not resign until terrorist and Islamist connections became public knowledge.
John McCain probably has skeletons in his closet. The question is it to this level of deception, stupidity and/or corrupt culpability as BHO?
- Huffington Post on McCain Naval Career (McCain’s lack of advancement is an issue? NOT!)
Leftists search under every rock to find a donor scandal and uncover McCain fund raiser Gov. Charlie Crist took money from foreign nationals residing in California and acted as a go-between to McCain Campaign (Hmm … The foreign nationals were Arabs that were actually aiding American efforts on the GWOT, not Islamists undermining the GWOT).
McCain/Feingold Legislation: You probably won’t hear too much criticism from the Left but Conservatives hate the reins McCain/Feingold places on Free Speech.
Cindy McCain was addicted to drugs for three years (Yet now is a model citizen in operating the family beer distributing business and charities war torn nations or underdeveloped nations. How does that square Michelle Obama’s only now being a proud American? Let us not forget that BHO was a drug addict in his youth.).
If you Google “John McCain's Skeletons.” The typical list begins with the Leftist perception of those skeletons. Knock yourself out. It is only in Leftist twisting of data that something innocuous is found; however Obama’s skeletons are difficult to ferret out. When the Obama skeleton begins to surface, a denial, a lie, a strong arming of the media or a refusal of scrutiny seems to leave a stench of deception in the air.
All of BHO’s deceptions should send a huge message to GOP and Dem voters alike about at least the character of BHO.

Ed Lasky writes about the duplicity of Obama’s call for change. Essentially Lasky is saying Obama is using old style Chicago Democrat Party tactics of the urban political machine to rid rivals and secure a position in which weakness assures a victory.
The city political machine style will not be as successful for Obama as it has been in his past for McCain is not an ill funded opponent. Obama’s past associations and his past campaign style will come back to haunt him. Indeed BHO may become a victim of his own tactics.
Read Lasky’s exposition of BHO.

I don’t even know how this is possible but Barack Hussein Obama is strong arming media to prevent an anti-BHO ad from hitting the national and local air waves.
Anti-BHO ad is not even from the McCain campaign camp. It is from a “conservative non-profit group” called American Issues Project (AIP). AIP does not have a direct connection to McCain but in fairness to BHO its conservatism and anti-BHO campaign definitely benefits McCain. And the thing that is glorious is that McCain cannot be held accountable for anything AIP does that may cross the line.
This AIP ad is definitely a Swift Boat kind of ad that will haunt BHO. There are very few ways to dodge the content of the ad for it is a matter of public record which the MSM will undoubtedly avoid reporting on at this stage of the Presidential race. It is surprising that Fox has backed away from running AIP ad though. I wonder what the threat BHO is using to squelch this First Amendment right to air the truth.
Are you ready to read what the heck I am talking about?
It is the fact that Barack Hussein Obama and Bill Ayers are buddies. In fact they are such buddies that BHO began the initial stages of planning a campaign at Ayers home.
If you have never heard of Bill Ayers you might ask, “So what?”
Bill Ayers was a member of the murderous Left Wing (pro-Communist) Weatherman home grown terrorist organization. There purpose was to target government employees because the U.S. military were “murdering” 2000 Vietnamese every day. That means Ayers was one of those unpatriotic people of the Left during the Vietnam War era that called American troops coming home from war “baby killers, butchers, and murderers” and more.
You know what? According to a Fox News interview (yep one of the networks not running the anti-BHO ad) Bill Ayers is totally unrepentant the violence he was involved in perpetrating on Americans. It is no wonder that Barack Hussein Obama was against invading Iraq and the later Surge. By association with Ayers BHO has to be one of those Lefties that would rather see America submerged in foreign violence rather than actively preempting foreign violence. Why? Because it might kill innocent people who support violent acts against America.
That is a bunch of Slanted Left utopian drivel!
Catch this Bill Ayers is now a tenured Professor at University of Illinois, Chicago.
Here is an example the Left spin and justification of Bill Ayers today: A Washington Post (alleged) Fact Finding Blog.
Here Michael Dobbs remarkably paints a picture of a “distinguished” Professor involved in good works (such as anti-poverty – every Communist collective’s favorite charity) and a tribute to society. Dobbs proceeds to mush through an Ayers pedestal saying the old Weatherman murderer was never convicted of any crime. O MY GOD! He wasn’t convicted because a moronic judge allowed a technicality about FBI surveillance not to be used against Ayers.

Barack Hussein Obama has publicly avowed himself a Christian.
Undeniably his childhood and early youth was surrounded in a Mohammedan environment with a Muslim father and schooling in an Indonesian madrassa.
Now BHO goes out of his way to say his White Mom was a secular gal. I have little to zero information on BHO’s Mom; however it is apparent she had a penchant for Mohammedan men.
On the other hand Leftist CNN has effectively debunked the rumors that BHO attended an Islamic madrassa (let alone a radical Islamic madrassa). And I believe that BHO was not a practicing Mohammedan; however there is a salient fact the Leftist CNN fails to bring to light. Public Schools in Indonesia (or at least when BHO attended) require a period of religious instruction according to the faith one is registered (e.g. Islam, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and so on).
Guess what Barack Hussein Obama was registered as? Yes that would be Muslim.
So it is established that BHO has had Mohammedan religious instruction but with the caveat that BHO was not a practicing Mohammedan despite his Mom being married to two Mohammedan men. And I say big deal! I’m a right winger but we live in America. I can give BHO credit for publicly repudiating Mohammedanism and proclaiming he is a Christian.
Let us examine the Christian faith of BHO via association (as opposed to first hand knowledge).
First here is the Trinity United Church of Christ “about us” from their website:
…
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
The ellipsis prior to the “Unashamedly Black” portion is a basic theological expression of faith that affirms the Christian God and Jesus died to redeem sinners back to God. The theological stuff is vague enough to not expressly say that Jesus is the Son of God. The “about us” page is also vague on the validation of Biblical Christianity. The vagueness does not deny Jesus is the Word and the Word is a moral foundation for a Christian either. There is no theological pinning down of traditional Biblical theological beliefs.
The paragraph I did provide has the oxymoron of being proud of being Black, condemning racism and promoting the African heritage as opposed to a Christian or even American heritage. It is an oxymoron because the tone is that of Black Supremacism as opposed to God not seeing differences between rich or poor, Barbarian or Jew, Slave of Free, etc as receivers by faith of God’s Grace equally.
Now last I heard BHO has disavowed the Pastor who has been his mentor for what? – A quarter century or so. So let us look at the denomination the United Church of Christ (UCC). First of all there is the UCC stand with TUCC:
…
First here are some quotes from the UCC about Trinity United Church of Christ.
The Rev. Steve Gray, the UCC's Indiana-Kentucky Conference Minister, describes Trinity UCC as a "jewel."
"It's everything a Christian community is supposed to be," says Gray, who has been working with Trinity UCC for the past three years to develop a new UCC congregation in Gary, Ind. "Trinity has given well over $100,000 in support of its partnership with us, and in 15 months of regular meetings with Jeremiah Wright, we always found him to be a man of gracious hospitality, humor, generosity, who paid attention to detail but also a man who does not call attention to himself."
…
"When you're Euro-American [*Blog Editor: PC for White], the people [at Trinity UCC] are so exceedingly gracious, warm and welcoming. They hug you and say, 'Welcome to our church!'"
Noting the church's work in health care, early childhood education and economic development, Whiten says, "The scope of their concern and outreach is extraordinary. It's really just an outstanding congregation."
Whiten, a member of Pilgrim UCC in Oak Park, Ill., is especially taken with Trinity UCC's commitment to the need and importance of quality theological education. More than 60 members of Trinity UCC are currently enrolled in seminary and pursuing masters-level degrees. Moreover, the congregation pays for students' tuition costs.
"They firmly believe in the UCC's commitment to an educated, seminary-trained clergy," Whiten said, "and they have probably had more people feeling the call to ministry than any other church in the denomination."
…
According to UCC the TUCC is big on social good works and theological education. Now that sounds awesome and I especially have no beef with taking care of the youth and the needy. I am guessing most of those needy and youth are predominantly African-American with little consideration for Caucasians who might be the descendants of White slavers.
Let us look at what the UCC considers sound theological education:
The Bible both unites and divides us as a church. Our spiritual ancestors have never agreed, even in the first generations of the Christian community, about the right way to read and apply Scripture. Today, views in the UCC (like all other mainline denominations) range from conservative to liberal. Scripture often quoted by all sides in the ethical conflicts that divide us as well as many other churches. The Bible is God's gift to the church, to be read for our instruction and comfort, but we often use it as a hammer to strike down the arguments of our opponents, or even to exclude each other from the Body of Christ.
Right interpretation of Scripture necessarily includes right living, that is, we cannot hear God's word in the Bible if our minds and hearts are closed to each other. These were some of the issues that were explored at Dunkirk. (UCC Authority of Scripture)
It appears to be saying if Scripture divides rather than unites that Scripture is ignored in the name of diversity.
The UCC Website addresses Same-Sex marriage in a very weak manner:
On May 6, 1998, the Massachusetts chapter of Confessing Christ sponsored a colloquy at the Acton (Mass.) Congregational Church on same-sex unions and the Christian faith. The event centered on papers presented by Andy Lang for and by Max Stackhouse against the proposition that the Christian church should support monogamous, vowed relationships between same-sex couples. We present both papers here, plus a list of links to other resources on the subject.
This paragraph is the entirety on the UCC website about homosexual marriage. This information is garbage because obviously the UCC not only allows homosexuals in their congregations but have homosexual clergy as well. THAT is a definite deviancy from Biblical Authority.
So when candidate Barack Hussein Obama tells America he is a Christian, what does that mean?
By association is telling Americans he is a “progressive” Christian. “Progressive” is an obfuscation for Left Wing cherry picking faith according to what is relative to secular humanism rather than the Christian basics.
So when you go to the voting booth in November remember that (by association) BHO does not believe in the inerrant Word of God except those portions he agrees with. Thus Obama supports murdering babies before birth, homosexuals and same-sex marriages and probably the emphasis of “critical thinking” that leads to the denial that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I would speculate progressive critical thinking too often denies that Christ is God (one person of the ONE Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
In November think about that when you BHO represents “change.” Is that the kind of change you want?
Mark Silverberg makes a case about Georgia that both blames America and condemns the Russian brutality of invasion.
Silverberg makes some very salient assertions however I am not sure that I agree with whole heartedly.
I believe Silverberg is correct that America dropped the ball on Georgia by not utilizing immediate physical aid to Georgia. I realize America may not be in a sustainable position to confront a massive confrontation with Russia however I am betting Russia is not yet prepared to defy the military potential of America outside of conventional forces.
Yes I am implying that if America had sent American conventional expeditionary forces of some kind which would have at least put a big dent in the Russian invasion, then Russia would have to make another decision. That decision would be to either escalate its invasion of Georgia to force an obviously smaller American presence to retreat or consider American retribution with its superior nuclear technology.
As in the Cuban Missile crisis I don’t think Russia is willing to engage America in a nuclear war which it would lose. Russian payloads may be larger than America’s nukes but Russian missiles are not as accurate. Combine that thought with American does have very advanced technology in anti-ballistic missiles, and then you have a recipe that will slaughter a lot of Russians and perhaps bring down the Russian autocrats themselves.
If Russian nukes managed to slip past America’s anti-ballistic system, then Russia could be expected to be nuked out of existence. The Russians are not crazy Muslims looking to enter a paradise of erotic virgins. I believe the Russians would have pulled back and begin the attrition of another cold war in which America and Russia would vie with the interests of Middle Eastern States.
That is my relatively harsh (and yes gambling) take on the failed American choices. Be sure to read Silverberg’s very compelling analysis of the strategy America should have taken or instituted prior to a Russian invasion of Georgia.

It is common knowledge in the America that Iran and Syria are rogue nations that do little to hide the fact they aid transnational terrorists and Palestinian/Arab terrorists with military and financial aid.
Now many Western democracies may shun from the direct accusation of calling the Islamofascist twins “rogue” nations however that is due to the dhimmitude fears of an oil economy rather than the facts that are known.
The surprising thing is that American media hesitates to expose a nation on this dear planet as a rogue nation – the Peoples Republic of China (aka Red China or Communist China). China is the very place that is home to this year to the quadrennial Olympics.
I suspect the lack of reporting on the nefarious activities of Red China may be varied. Here are a few inexhaustive thoughts for American media cowardice.
· The Mainstream Media is Leftist oriented and Red China is definitely a Leftwing (although becoming more fascist/socialist) Communist dictatorship.
· Red China has a booming economy in which capitalist nations and corporations are investing a big stake.
· Red China has the largest military in terms of active personnel in the world and GlobalFirePower.com gives China a global ranking of THREE behind number two Russia followed by number one America.
There probably are other mitigating circumstances for the lack of reporting, but those three come to mind.
America is currently involved in a Global War on Terror (GWOT) which the Western Leftists has relatively forced to be fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and NO WHERE else. I say no where else because Islamofascist terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and entities of the umbrella organization the PLO have all been involve in American assets even before 9/11. The murdering terrorist organizations I just mentioned combined are radical Islamic and Islamic thugs that sincerely support a Palestinian State and some simply operate thug operations closer to a Mafioso organization. In either case these Palestinian/Arab radical Muslims have one aim: the extermination of Jewish Israel and knocking chunks of armor out of Israel’s primary ally America.
So why should we classify Red China as a rogue nation supporting transnational Islamic terrorism?
Red China bank branches in America have been used to transfer the big bucks to Hamas and Islamic Jihad between 2004 and 2007. Three years is NOT a mere clerical oversight. This was a transaction that was allowed clandestinely with the purpose of financing the interests of Palestinian Terrorists. These are the very terrorists with the sole aim of wiping Israel and Jewry of the Middle Eastern map and killing Americans because America supports the existence of Israel.
Terror Victims Sue Bank Of China for Ties with Hamas
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
21 Av 5768, 22 August 08 01:04
Arutz Sheva – IsraelNationalNews.com
More than 100 victims and relatives of targets of Arab terrorist attacks have filed an historic suit in Los Angeles against the Bank of China, which transferred hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas and Islamic Jihad between 2004 and 2007. The suit, filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday, details how the bank wired money through its American branches to an account in China used by the terrorist groups.
Israeli counterterrorist personnel met with Chinese officials in 2005 to demand it cease from transferring more money, but the bank, with the approval of the Chinese government, continued to wire money for Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Among the victims and families whose attorneys filed the criminal and civil suits are the parents of four-year-old Afik Zahavi, who was killed four years ago in a Kassam rocket attack on Sderot as he returned home from a pre-school facility.
Other plaintiffs include the families of two men who were murdered in a suicide bombing at an Eilat bakery last year.
Attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner charged that the Bank of China "even had the chutzpah to make these funds transfers through its U.S. branches right under the nose of the Justice Department, despite the fact that Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad are designated terrorist organizations and that such wire transfers are a crime under American law. We expect the Bank of China to now pay very heavily for its support for terrorism."
Ohhhhhhhhh yeah! That makes Red China a rogue nation. We should respect Red China like we tell our children to respect the danger of a plug-in socket; however America should not shirk its responsibility of this threat to Americans by this new joint Communist/Islamist venture.
The American MSM and the American government should be making some very public noise about this. By not addressing this issue we are showing China and the Islamist terrorists we are the weak-kneed Americans they believe us to be.

Barack Hussein Obama chooses fellow traveler Lefty Joe Biden as the Democrat Party nominee for Vice President.

The blog Doctor Bulldog and Ronin has reposted a New York Times editorial by Clark Hoyt from the NYT’s Public Editor’s Journal.
Hoyt defends Deborah Solomon’s hostile interview with Brigitte Gabriel that was posted on the Times Magazine that begins with “Questions for …”
I myself posted an Act For America email pertaining to this interview in which the organization CAMERA was organizing an email/mail-in/phone-in protest for treating Gabriel with such mindless ignorant Leftist venom (my words – not CAMERA’s).
Evidently there was enough protest to elicit a weak response from the NYT. Clark Hoyt wrote the response which basically mimicked Solomon’s attitude about Islam; i.e. the self-righteous anger that anyone who calls a devout practitioner of that religion is a radical and thus a bigot or a racist.
Solomon’s words of choice were Crusader and Islamophobe.
Hoyt’s last paragraph says this:
I’ve had my issues with Solomon in the past, but I don’t think she or her editors have done anything here requiring an apology or any other corrective action. (
