Zombie: 9/11 Truth March at the Democratic National Convention
On the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, a “truther” organization called We Are Change sponsored the “9/11 Truth March.” I didn’t expect more than a few dozen people to show up, but was surprised and a little disturbed at how large it turned out to be — the crowd numbered in the hundreds.

I tried to find the beginning of the line — a line which seemed to have no beginning or end. I made the mistake at first of trying to go toward the entrance. Foolish me.

Zombie: The Democratic Convention Giant Puppet Parade
On Tuesday, a group called The Backbone Campaign sponsored a parade they call "Procession to the Future," but which is better known in journalistic circles as Giant Puppets!

Not everything that happens outside the Democratic National Convention fits into a “theme” of some sort. The following series of images were all taken within the space of two hours. Here's a more gut-level impression of what walking around Denver is like this week.

Zombie: Pro-Hillary March
On Tuesday, some Hillary Clinton die-hards held a march along the “designated parade route” from Denver’s Civic Center Park to the “free speech zone” at the Pepsi Center, where the convention is being held. Their goal: a last-ditch attempt to secure the nomination for Hillary.

AP Admits Obama is an Islamic Apostate

Sun, Feb 11, 2007 at 2:15:55 pm PST

For the first time, the Associated Press actually admits that Barack Obama was a Muslim in his childhood: Obama Says Voters Curious on His Faith. (Hat tip: zombie.)

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think voters have a litmus test on religion, whether evangelical Christianity or his childhood years in the Muslim faith.

“If your name is Barack Hussein Obama, you can expect it, some of that. I think the majority of voters know that I’m a member of the United Church of Christ, and that I take my faith seriously,” Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Now that the Associated Press has given this fact their blessing, it does raise a rather uncomfortable question for a man who wants to be the commander in chief of the United States. The penalty under well-established shari’a law for apostasy—leaving Islam—is death. How would the world’s 249 gazillion Muslims react to having an American president who is also a Muslim apostate?

UPDATE at 2/12/07 9:50:26 am:

AP Changes Obama Story.

They will say it proves that America is The Great Satan. They will issue fatwas. They will whine to the MSM, who will embrace them. They will whine to the Euroweenies, who will embrace them. They will bomb trains. They will bomb subways. They will bomb restaurants. They will behead schoolgirls. They will shoot children in the back as they try to flee. They will fly airplanes into buildings. They will behead westerners on camera. They will shoot women in the head in soccer stadia. They will bomb embassies, and ships, and hotels, and pizza outlets, and buses.

With that kind of threat hanging over us, we should be very careful about electing Obama.

Truth be known, his "Christian" church isn't anything to get excited about, either:

Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:

1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.


In other words, a bunch of bigots.

#32 Earl 2/11/07 12:25:53 pm 0

Not that the MSM would ever fail to do its research, but the shari'ah penalty for ridda (apostacy from islam), is death:

Umdat al-Salik, s. o8.0- Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (khufr) and the worst

s. 08.1- When a person who has reached puberty and is sane volunatrily apostacizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.

o8.4- There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die).

And who sanctioned this penalty? Why, mo, of course:

Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57:

"Whoever changed his deen (ie, Islamic religion), then kill him".

Obama's the walking dead. This AP piece will trigger countless fatwas of death.

When are they gonna admit that his ideas are about as vapid as the Hillabeast? With all due respect to both parties, the top folks are not too sharp.

The fact that he and the Hillabeast can talk for yours without ever coming even close to an idea is rather frightening; albeit completely logical for "the party without a brain".

You know, its almost like raising the minimum wage causes people to loose jobs;

New wage boost puts squeeze on teenage workers across Arizona

Some Valley employers, especially those in the food industry, say payroll budgets have risen so much that they're cutting hours, instituting hiring freezes and laying off employees. advertisement

And teens are among the first workers to go.

Companies maintain the new wage was raised to $6.75 per hour from $5.15 per hour to help the breadwinners in working-poor families. Teens typically have other means of support.

Mark Messner, owner of Pepi's Pizza in south Phoenix, estimates he has employed more than 2,000 high school students since 1990. But he plans to lay off three teenage workers and decrease hours worked by others. Of his 25-person workforce, roughly 75 percent are in high school.

"I've had to go to some of my kids and say, 'Look, my payroll just increased 13 percent,' " he said. " 'Sorry, I don't have any hours for you.' "

Messner's monthly cost to train an employee has jumped from $440 to $580 as the turnover rate remains high.

But hey, Its Arizona, I'm sure they can just bus in a few loads of illegals to take up the slack.

I now realize we are all going to be treated to two grinding years of CAIR/AP/Reuters/CNN bulls**t about how "attacks" on Obama's religion demonstrates our intolerance and lack of understanding of Islam.

I bet right now at CAIR headquarters is a working group whose sole purpose is to figure out how to game the Obama story and milk it for the usual mandatory Islam sensitivity sessions at high schools, well-dressed young CAIR PR types fanning out across the news channels to encourage "dialogue" and "mutual understanding" and such.

And when Obama implodes, it is gonna get FUGLY.

BBC attaches a "map" illustrating the relationships of the Israeli excavations and the Temple Mount.

No surprise, the labeling makes it appear that the work potentially undermines the integrity of the wall - which it doesn't. The "Walkway" and "Excavation Work" are superimposed on the wall surrounding the Temple mount with little wires pointing away. Coincidence?

One day into his formal bid for the U.S. presidency in 2008, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama slammed Australian Prime Minister John Howard Sunday for suggesting terrorists are awaiting the election of a Democrat — specifically Obama — to the White House.
"I think that it's flattering that one of George Bush's allies on the other side of the world started attacking me a day after I announced" my candidacy for president, Obama said during a news conference in Iowa, the first state to hold party caucuses. "I take that as a compliment."

Being portrayed as a coward isn't anything to be proud of Senator Racist.

And "one of George Bush's allies"? Well I think that tells us who's side your on. Hoping to parlay the koran memorization into a top Taliban position are you?

Obama said pre-war intelligence shows that President Bush was wrong to go into Iraq. He added that "the threat of terrorism has increased as a consequence of our actions in Iraq."

I'd really like to see the "pre-war" intelligence that you have to prove Bush was wrong to go into Iraq, seeings how you've only been in office since January 3, 2005.

If this cat can pull it off, having "Hussein" in his name, and get elected, then he's a freakin' magician, and perhaps that anti-whatever that you can read about in Genesis.

He's got, what, two years of political theater under his belt? Shillary has not much more, but she's been in the game, and she's a ruthless come-upper.

For the fifty percent or so of the nation that is feeling very democratic right now, either one of these candidates is Teflon. Heck, Biden is smoke right now because he called Obama "clean", a statement that really shows Biden is way out of his league in a run. He's the first casualty of the Demo line-up, and we're a couple of years out.

Let your brain braise with this for a few minutes: Hillary Clinton: President, Barack Hussein, Vice President, Speaker of the Botox, Nancy P-word, and President of the Senate, pro-tempore, Searchlight Nevada Boy Reid.

What a sudden and cataclysmic turn. Say goodbye to your gun, your gold and your cojones.
