A few days ago, there was an entry in the links discussing the fact that Obambi could be on drugs. That would certainly explain his now daily gaffes.

Well, either that or his speech writer is one of Rush's secret Operation Chaos operatives.

Campaign says Obama mistaken on Nazi camp

...The campaign said Tuesday that he named the wrong camp. They said it was actually Buchenwald.

Aides said his grandmother's brother, Charlie Payne, helped liberate a Buchenwald sub-camp in April 1945 as part of the 89th Infantry Division.....

So first it was his grandfather in Auschwitz and Treblinke.
Then it was his uncle in Auschwitz.
Now it's his great uncle in Buchenwald!
His family practically won WWII all by themselves!

Buchenwald was liberated by the 442 and 552 Artillery, I think. The 86th was in vicinity. The Captain for the 552 ordered the Mayor of the town to send food ASAP, got resistence. I believe i read in our local paper the 442 cut the locks to the gate. The Jewish prisoners could not grasp the Japanese (Americans) in American Army uniforms for the first few minutes.

2. POLITICAL EXTREMIST: He is the most liberal member of the senate.

re: #63 WrathofG-d

Ok, so a friend of mine was asked for 5 reasons (excluding Israel) why one shouldn't vote for Obama.


he could only come up with 4.

1.FORIEGN POLICY: He is naive when it comes to what the World is really like. His desire to just sit down with leaders like Achmadinajad (of Iran) and somehow change his mind by just speaking to him is naive, dangerous and only bolsters those evil leaders' standing in the world

2. POLITICAL EXTREMIST: He is the most liberal member of the senate.

3. TAXES & ROLE OF GOVERNMENT: It is not hidden, as it is a central tenant to his campaign, that Obama wishes to raise taxes, and use the money to provide more entitlements

4. OBAMAS FRIENDS.

Suggestions.


5. Black Liberation Theology (BLT!...whatever THAT is.) / the whole black victimhood thing.

Experience
His own words

Experience -- He was a low ranking Illinois legislature. He isa first term Junior Senator. His experience is as an Alinsky community organizer.

His own words -- He show a profound lack of understanding of basic historical facts. He is hypersensitive when this is pointed out. This lack of historical context means he has not learned or understands the lessons of history. The next president will have to make decision the require an understand of history, culture, religion, and the will of tyranny he has not demonstrated any understand of these subjects.

Barack Hussein Obama believes that the only American citizens who should have any firearms, are law enforcement, words out of his own mouth.

Barack Hussein Obama voted against legislation as an IL State Senator, for a homeowner using a firearm, in his or her own home, for self defense.

Obama has a 100% anti-gun voting record, 100%, anti-gun.

"We can't drive our SUV's, eat anything we want, keep our homes at 72 degrees and expect the world to say, OK."

This should serve as an indication of how he would handle himself in a crisis to every American citizen and is totally unsuitable for the office of President since if he can't handle the stresses of running for office how would he handle another Katrina, 9/11, disaster?

Debka disclaimer.

First documentary evidence Iran is into nuclear explosives, missile warhead design

The International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna based its new and damning findings partly on 18 intelligence documents submitted by the United States, and now accuse Tehran of willful lack of cooperation. Iran dismissed the documents as forged or fabricated.

DEBKAfile reports that the documents came from materials contained in a laptop stolen from one of the heads of Iran’s nuclear program in Tehran in late 2006 by Iranian dissidents. It was passed to the CIA. Despite this evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons program, sixteen US intelligence agencies, including the CIA, combined last year to announce this program was suspended in 2003.

Even the nuclear watchdog’s director Mohammed ElBaradei, who often meets the Iranians halfway, has concluded that Iran’s nuclear activities are of “serious concern” and require “substantial explanations.” which Tehran has refused to offer.

His latest report describes Iran’s installation of new IR-2 and IR-3 centrifuges for enriching uranium at the Natanz site as “significant” yet not communicated to his agency. IAEA inspectors on a visit in April were denied access to the sites where the centrifuges are manufactured and the scientists involved. Some, the report states, were produced by Iran’s “military” (a reference to the Revolutionary Guards corps which is in charge of Iran’s nuclear weapons industry).

An official connected to the watchdog disclosed that since December, the Iranians have processed close to 150 kilograms, double the amount produced in the same period 18 months ago.

The watchdog director’s report was released Monday, May 26, to the IAEA’s 35-member board of directors and the UN Security Council, and will be discussed by the board next week.

Tell your NY liberal friend, that 99% of the gun crime in NY, is caused by mega repeat offenders, most of which already have previous gun crime charges against them, and ask your NY friend why Michael Bloomberg doesn't demand that his city attorneys throw the book at these thugs, instead of letting them back out on the streets time, after time, after time, and why putting further infringements of gun control on law abiding citizens is somehow going to curb gun crime, when 99.9% of the common citizenry isn't in any way responsible for any gun crime.

144 J.D.  Tue, May 27, 2008 3:55:02pm
...Perhaps no Western media outlet has exhibited this habit of moral inversion more regularly than the BBC. In 2006, to take a typical example, Manchester’s top imam told psychotherapist John Casson that he supported the death penalty for homosexuality. Casson expressed shock—and the BBC, in a dispatch headlined imam accused of “gay death” slur, spun the controversy as an effort by Casson to discredit Islam. The BBC concluded its story with comments from an Islamic Human Rights Commission spokesman, who equated Muslim attitudes toward homosexuality with those of “other orthodox religions, such as Catholicism” and complained that focusing on the issue was “part of demonizing Muslims.”

In June 2005, the BBC aired the documentary Don’t Panic, I’m Islamic, which sought to portray concerns about Islamic radicalism as overblown. This “stunning whitewash of radical Islam,” as Little Green Footballs blogger Charles Johnson put it, “helped keep the British public fast asleep, a few weeks before the bombs went off in London subways and buses” in July 2005. In December 2007, it emerged that five of the documentary’s subjects, served up on the show as examples of innocuous Muslims-next-door, had been charged in those terrorist attacks—and that BBC producers, though aware of their involvement after the attacks took place, had not reported important information about them to the police. ...

...We need to recognize that the cultural jihadists hate our freedoms because those freedoms defy sharia, which they’re determined to impose on us. So far, they have been far less successful at rolling back freedom of speech and other liberties in the U.S. than in Europe, thanks in no small part to the First Amendment. Yet America is proving increasingly susceptible to their pressures.

The key question for Westerners is: Do we love our freedoms as much as they hate them? Many free people, alas, have become so accustomed to freedom, and to the comfortable position of not having to stand up for it, that they’re incapable of defending it when it’s imperiled—or even, in many cases, of recognizing that it is imperiled. As for Muslims living in the West, surveys suggest that many of them, though not actively involved in jihad, are prepared to look on passively—and some, approvingly—while their coreligionists drag the Western world into the House of Submission.

But we certainly can’t expect them to take a stand for liberty if we don’t stand up for it ourselves.

Motivated by fear and multiculturalism, too many Westerners are acquiescing to creeping sharia.

The Brady Campaign's own statistics clearly show that where the most strict gun control laws are, is where the highest crime is, and they don't miss beat, at trying to do away with the 2nd Amendment, of which ALL of the Constitution and Bill of Rights are founded upon.

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution made the remarks in a meeting with head of political bureau of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Khalid Mashal.

re: #133 republic

Ok I got a response from one of them:

Setting aside so many other issues I have with your line of reasoning, I find it extraordinarily offensive that you say this, with the worst part bolded:

I said: I work very hard and pay for my own services, the Government (and this is what it is all about) should not have the ability to FORCE me (which is what the IRS does through taxes) to pay for programs they believe others should have (even though they don't work hard enough to afford them)


She said:

OK, fine. I don't believe that we should have invaded Iraq, therefore I refuse to pay taxes. I don't believe in the unmitigated right to bear arms, therefore I refuse to pay taxes. I don't believe in this government's foreign "abstinence-only" policy, therefore I refuse to pay taxes. Too bad I don't get to pick and choose what I want to pay taxes for.

But to assume that those who can't afford things like health insurance don't work enough? That's so far beyond the pale that I don't even believe that anyone could actually think this. Shame on you. For what it's worth--I myself, in 2000, was working six days a week at a job that paid me 10 dollars an hour, for anywhere between 10 and 16 hours a day. And I not only wasn't given health insurance, I still couldn't afford it. Nor could I afford to move out of my parents' home. Working at one of the largest corporations in America. And I was one of the lucky ones, with an Ivy League degree, and two college-educated, successful parents with an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

If you honestly think that not working hard enough is the problem--you need not only a wake-up call, but to do some serious self-examination about why you feel so much better than everyone else. There are millions of Americans in foreclosure; millions who have to decide daily between gas, food and medicine. Median household income actually decreased in the last five years, the first time this has happened in American history. Five million fewer Americans have employer-provided healthcare-insurance now than they did in 2000. How are THEY to blame for these problems? Because they didn't work hard enough?

Congratulations; you officially disgust me.

Emotional much?

re: #63 WrathofG-d

Ok, so a friend of mine was asked for 5 reasons (excluding Israel) why one shouldn't vote for Obama.


he could only come up with 4.

1.FORIEGN POLICY: He is naive when it comes to what the World is really like. His desire to just sit down with leaders like Achmadinajad (of Iran) and somehow change his mind by just speaking to him is naive, dangerous and only bolsters those evil leaders' standing in the world

2. POLITICAL EXTREMIST: He is the most liberal member of the senate.

3. TAXES & ROLE OF GOVERNMENT: It is not hidden, as it is a central tenant to his campaign, that Obama wishes to raise taxes, and use the money to provide more entitlements

4. OBAMAS FRIENDS.

Suggestions.

5. HIS WIFE

I want her as far away from the White House as possible!

And now... dinner

bbiaw

She has an Ivy League Education, and lives at home. That alone should tell you something.

If you'd like, I'll post my response.

159 GeeWiz  Tue, May 27, 2008 4:24:32pm

Too bad everyone left, I've saved my favorites for last.

#1

#2

#3

OK, the last one is from the 70's but still a great song.

re: #153 Silhouette

That's between $31,200 and $49,920 a year, with no rent or mortgage. Health insurance was more than $2600/month in 2000?

Also I'd reccomend she get the f**k out of NY and go to the real world where people make under 20000 a year and still survive.

re: #129 yitzy

Speaking of guns....

Does anybody have a reliable reference supporting the rise in crime AFTER they took all the guns away from the Brits? I thought I saw it in a film (or on Youtube) but can't find the statistic anywhere.

re: #163 Mars Needs Neocons

My response to her had something to do with making sacrifices in life, and understanding the difference between wants and needs.

168 WrathofG-d  Tue, May 27, 2008 4:39:13pm

Hello,

Sorry you were "offended". A bit of an extreme response to what I argued, but eitherway, I appologize. We are all civil people here having a discussion upon issues that it seems we disagree. (or at least that is how I look at it)

To respond however (or shall I say clarify): First, you misunderstood my statement about Taxes. I do not want a Gov that creates more reasons to take money out of my pockets to pay for their pet projects. Dealing with the stupid things we already have taxes paying for is another story. (ie: Guns, War, Abstainance-only, etc.) My point was that I would not vote for Obama because he wishes to (a) create more stupid things that the people are forced to pay for & (b) he wants to steal more money out of our pockets (against our will) to pay for them. That being said, you don't "pay" for Gun laws, or the Abstainance-only policies. However, they would be good reasons for you to not want to vote for someone who shares those beliefs, on that point I understand where you are coming from. But you are right, through Government we do NOT get to pick and choose what we pay for, which is EXACTLY why I don't want more entitlement projects, I want less. In the private sector however (as was my suggestion) we get to pick exactly what we want to pay for....thus if the Gov didn't get involved in "Abstainance-Only" policies, you wouldn't have to pay for it (as you woudln't be taxed for it) and instead could choose to pay in the private arena for Pro-Abortion/"choice" projects across the globe. On this "note", I would love for you to respond to my private idea of how to fix the problems without forcing the citizens to pay for it. (Ie: the Private Fund Idea)

Second, as to your working many many hours a week and not getting paid over $10/hour although you had an "Ivy League Education", I really don't know what to tell you as they only way I could respond would probably only "offened" you further. This however, as I'm sure you are a nice person, is not my intent.

As for myself however, I work extremely hard, and sacrificed a lot to get what I have. (and it is not much) I don't have an "ivy league education" but have still been able to afford to live. This is probably because I took responsibility for my own place in life, gave up on my childhood dreams (because they weren't paying the rent) and did what was necessary to be able to put food on my table. (so to speak). Never once did I blame my hard times on anyone else but myself. When I needed to, or when I wanted something, I worked harder, and saved more.

To me this entire issue is about Government intrusion, and self responsibility. I don't need a "wake-up" call to realize that I need to work more hours to pay for other people who cannot succeed, or aren't able to pay for the things that I work my ass off to afford for myself. I don't have any special powers that allow me to perform magical acts that put food on my plate and money in my pocket. I was born with exactly the same baic abilities and skills as anyone else. I work so I can eat, and so I can spend my extremely hard earned money on things I want to buy...not things that someone else tells me I have to buy for someone else. (and to such an extent that after I pay for their wants, I can no longer afford my own)

(snip)

re: #65 Nevergiveup

Isn't that our job?

Whups, wrong quote, the above is the correct referent. PIMF is your friend.

170 WrathofG-d  Tue, May 27, 2008 4:39:49pm

(snip)

As to those in forclosures, they shouldn't have over extended themselves and bought houses they couldn't afford in the first place. When I was buying a house, I bought wayyyyy under my means so that I could ensure that I could afford the place. I dont' have good insurance through my employment, and thus I save my money so that I can afford any medical services that I need, if and when I need them. I sacrifice my wants for my needs. I'd much rather go out and buy something nice and expensive, or have a great meal, but instead I eat tuna on bread so that I save money just in case I need medical services, can afford my mortgatge, etc.

The problem is that some people think that just because they want something that somehow it is coming to them. (ie: house they cannot afford, free medical services so they can spend their money elsewhere, etc.) I expect nothing from my Government but roads, police/ambulance, etc., and National Defense). Obama, believes that he can create further strain on the civilian population, and economy with higher taxes (while he finds more reaons not to pay his own as a Millionaire), and just tax our way out of it. Overall, how about I pay for myself, and everyone else pay for themselves. I don't need a Goverment of Millionaires forcing Thousandairs to pay for their pet social programs.

More importantly than anything else however, I am sorry that I "officially disgust" you. I'm sure if we met we'd be great friends. I respect you and your opinion, even if we disagree, try not to take my opinion so personally, it isn't intended to offend.

171 Mars Needs Neocons  Tue, May 27, 2008 4:46:54pm

It would take me the skills of a contortionist to be "great friends" with someone like her.

Thank you that was nicely done.

I don't hate her, I just disagree with her.

I only wish she was able to respect our disagreement as much as I do. So emotional and rude..sheesh!

Have you seen the latest headline at Time?

note the author:With reporting by Jamil Hamad/Bethlehem

Dear Time, let me know when Olmert hosts Nasrallah or Amadinnerjacket in direct talks........

From the article:
"Through the Egyptians, Hamas is offering to stop firing rockets onto southern Israel's towns and farming communities. In return, Hamas wants Israel to cease its targeted assassinations of militant leaders and to lift an international blockade on Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinians, imposed in June 2007 after Hamas seized power in the coastal enclave."

I have breaking news for Time and Mr. Hamad: What Israel is doing is anything but "talking" or "negotiations" with one's enemies. Israel is punishing the shit out of Hamas for it's terrorist policies.

(I guess Hamad forgot about Israeli bombing run on the Syrians as well - NOW THAT IS NEGOTIATING)

In addition to your input, Hamas doesn't need to make this bargain. If they just did it, stopped firing rockets into Israel and otherwise stopped trying to kill Jews, all those things would naturally happen.

Is is like a prostitute making the bargain that she'll quit street walking if only the police will stop arresting her.

hey Wrath!

from his web page:
Trade

Obama believes that trade with foreign nations should strengthen the American economy and create more American jobs. He will stand firm against agreements that undermine our economic security.

* Fight for Fair Trade: Obama will fight for a trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs. He will use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world and stand firm against agreements like the Central American Free Trade Agreement that fail to live up to those important benchmarks. Obama will also pressure the World Trade Organization to enforce trade agreements and stop countries from continuing unfair government subsidies to foreign exporters and nontariff barriers on U.S. exports.
* Amend the North American Free Trade Agreement: Obama believes that NAFTA and its potential were oversold to the American people. Obama will work with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to fix NAFTA so that it works for American workers.
* Improve Transition Assistance: To help all workers adapt to a rapidly changing economy, Obama would update the existing system of Trade Adjustment Assistance by extending it to service industries, creating flexible education accounts to help workers retrain, and providing retraining assistance for workers in sectors of the economy vulnerable to dislocation before they lose their jobs.


in short, he wants to kill off the free trade agreements, and saddle the left overs with "global warming" and union preferred "good labor" standrds.... the last item is yet another entitlement that we'll have to pay out of any spare change we have left after taxes.

as for NAFTA, here's how the Canadians see it.

re: #183 Pshawalaw


Oh, come on!

How about "Completely ill-prepared for the job, and complete lack of experience."
Economic illiteracy is an example of this. Most libs are, of course, but Obama tries to do his extemporaneous speech thing and shows his ignorance. An example of this is one of his recent debates against Clinton where he flatly said the the capital gains tax isn't about money it's about being "fair".
A week or so later he was quoted again, now incorporating what the debate moderator brought up - that lowering the cap gains tax rate brings in more revenue. Embarrassing. He's learning economics during his speeches. I don't think I've EVER seen a less qualified candidate at the top of a ticket.
