On His Own

@ Nowforsomemoretruth: it's always amazing to me (I'm from Europe), that some Americans rather support administrations that keep fuelling the war-machine. War as economics. The US is the bully of the EARTH, putting the world aflame for decades, profitting from oil and other riches of poor countries. Unexperienced & ignorant young men + women going to battlefields & turn them into Abughraib monsters. Think again!

What an outstanding article, I really enjoyed reading it.

Absent father. You mean run-away father don't you?

FactCheck.Org is owned by the Annenberg group of Chicago! Talk about a conflict of interest! And Obama has been telling people on the trail to check out the site to verify his opponents claims. Funny, every time that he endorsed something, it turns out to be a part of his spin machine! Like he raised objections in the primaries when Indiana required photo I.D. to vote. He Protested that It took away people's right to vote! I
knew then and there that he was up to no good! America, wake up from the MASS HYPNOSIS!

This is so true about how the election is already bought and paid for:

Obama, the excuses are wearing thin. what excuse do you have for this one?:

Who "Joe the plumber" may be is not the issue, though it's easy to see why the Dems want it to be. That's because the real issue is what Obama's comments to him revealed about Obama. In the exchange with "Joe the plumber" we find out that Obama really is as radical as his early political acquaintances, Davis, Ayers, Wright, etc., and that he is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Obama's tax and spending plans alone would be bad enough, but add Reid and Pelosi to the mix, with the three of them controlling both houses of Congress and the executive branch without any effective restraint, and you have something that should causes concern even among moderate Democrats.

And whether McCain won or lost the third debate is also not relevant. He succeeded in the first half hour to plant the seeds of a Reagan style wipeout. Reputable historians and economists overwhelmingly agree that the taxation imposed by Hoover and FDR, and the "stimulus" spending and public works programs of FDR, actually deepened and prolonged the Great Depression. It was the production demands of WWII that got the economy going again. And when the war was over, the economy promptly went into recession.

See e.g. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/03/opinion/main4499465.shtml
And
http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx

Point is, Obama's programs are to tax, and it does not really matter who he taxes, those taxes are going to be passed through the economy. He has to tax, because it is they only way he can pay for his massive social engineering experiments. Any first year economics student knows that taxation is a tool used to contract an economy experiencing inflation, because it reduces demand by reducing the amount of money individuals and businesses have to spend. It is contractionary, which is exactly what you do not want to do when the problem is that the economy is contracting already into recession. Like Hoover and FDR, Obama's plans will only make it worse for longer.

Look and listen for yourself. Hear Obama in his own words discusses his links to both ACORN and the mortgage meltdown, and praises bundling and securitizing mortgages by banks as a means to float loans to the poor. Never mind the link commentators point of view, just listen to what Obama says in his own words. A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe more in the case of the last half of the second link.

The link below contains a purported list of the top 25 in Congress who got contributions from the folks at Fannie and Freddie. Obama is listed third, after Dodd and Kerry, even though Obama is just a junior Senator. Obama is followed next by Clinton. Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi are on the list as well.

Everyone of voting age should read these two books written by Obama, 'Dreams of My Father' and 'Audacity of Hope'. Don't buy them, get them from the library before they are removed from the shelves.

From 'Dreams of My Father', "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

From 'Dreams of My Father', "'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

From 'Dreams of My Father', "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

From 'Dreams of My Father', "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

From 'Dreams of My Father', "I never emulate WHITE men and BROWN men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!

From 'Audacity of Hope', "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!! He admitted to Joe the Plumber than he wanted to spread the wealth! He said that he wanted to make everyone equal! Is America ready for Socialism? The Iranian president, Ahmadinejad, said today that he is glad to see the end to capitalism in America!! Are you glad?????
====================================================================================================


Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient.

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE

Obama???. Why Blacks Should Hate Him!

People watching the McCain Palin campaign are perplexed about the recent attacks on his character regarding his links to Bill Ayers sighting his bombing of the Capitol and other federal targets. Stating that he feels Ayers has changed because he has not killed anyone in over 30 years. Obama???s failure to admit Ayers anti-American activities and close relations with our adversaries is pale in comparison to his even closer relationship with now convicted Chicago criminal who financed his campaign.

Obama, the ???Community Organizer??? who supposedly helped multitudes get fed and find acceptable housing is trying to distance himself in all literature and bury all web information about his involvement with:

??? Getting 43 million dollars ($43,000,000,.00) for Renovating Tony Rezko Properties!
??? Obama got a $250,000.00 ???kick back??? from his former law firm in Chicago!
??? The Loan was guaranteed by Obama friends at ???Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac??? !
??? Rezko filed bankruptcy after receiving our taxpayer money!
??? Black and underprivileged tenants were left in ???squalid living conditions??? and the Crack Cocaine houses moved in as their new neighbors!
??? Obama got a $1,500,000.00 ???kick back??? from Fannie Mae for his reward.
??? Obama the ???Community Organizer??? keeps throwing his arm out of joint while patting himself on the back!

Ever wonder why Obama???s background is so sketchy? Well when you omit the true history of his activities

As a minister of the True Gospel I have never used the race card or chosen a man by the color of his skin. However, by their deeds shall you know them and although I am not black I am my brothers keeper!

Obama's Campaign Paid Over $800,000 To ACORN For Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts, But "Mistakenly Misrepresented" Their Work To The FEC:

Obama's Campaign "Paid More Than $800,000" To ACORN For Get-Out-The Vote Efforts; The Campaign Originally "Misrepresented" The Group's Work To The FEC. "U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in 'get-out-the-vote' projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary."

Well, the previous comment was apparently made by another uninformed voter. McCain is running a filthy stinking dirty campaign. Looks like all Palin has going for her is Tina Fey. Let's get real America and realize that we have come so much further than the shallow no substance politics. It's time to GET INFORMED. An excellent start is: http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo

Sorry, friends and neighbors, Newsweak also - do the best you can - John McCain will be President. Oh, I am sorry to all you little teenagers out there, that have no idea about anything - well, except, of course - "well, like, you know, like, you know, like, yeah, like you know, etc., etc. The Democrats are counting on you! Vote early and vote often!

McCain's DIRTY LITTLE SECRET IN ARIZONA - watch the video:

If Obama was a white republican, he would be ripped to shreds. He is fairly articulate at best. Could you imagine a more vague, general, totally plain message being put out on the GOP side. The media would be tearing the GOP candidate apart.

OK, we know LOTS of things about his early days. NOT much from college to IL Senate though.
