Let's Get Political

I'm just going to put this rather simply: Obama scares the bajeezus out of me.

I'll tell you why....

THE FACTS

William Ayers - A little background: William Charles "Bill" Ayers is an unrepetent anti-American terrorist, who formed a radical group called the "Weather Underground". This radical group bombed public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s, including the Pentagon and the US Capitol.

In an interview in January 2004, Ayers was asked how he felt about what he did and if he would do it again under similar circumstances. His reply? "I've thought about this a lot. ...but the question of did we do something that horrendous, awful? ... I don't think so." He has also been quoted as saying "I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough."

His association with Obama? They lived in the same neighborhood in Chicago. Members of several of the same boards. Bill Ayers threw a party for Obama that launched his political career. This party took place in Bill Ayers' house. In addition, Ayers has contributed money toward Obama's re-election funds.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright - A little background: Reverend Wright is the former Paster Emeritus of the Trinity United Church of Christ. Lots of controversy surrounds Rev. Wright, including many anti-American statements. (Just go to YouTube and type in "Rev. Jeremiah Wright". It's horrendous.)

For the sake of this post, here is a direct quote from Rev. Wright:

"And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains, the government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton field, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness. The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, not God Bless America. God d*** America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people. God d*** America, for treating our citizens as less than human. God d*** America, as long as she tries to act like she is God, and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent."

He called America the "No. 1 killer in the world" and blamed the country for launching the AIDS virus. He said, "The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color." He even blamed the U.S. for provoking the 9/11 attacks by dropping nuclear weapons on Japan in World War II and supporting Israel since 1947.

His association with Obama? Obama met Rev. Wright in the late 1980s when he became a member of his Church. Rev. Wright officiated the Obama's wedding ceremony and even baptised his children.

Michelle Obama - A little background: Michelle Obama is a lawyer and the wife of Senator Barack Obama.

In February of 2008, she stated, "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country."

Her association with Obama? Well, that's a no-brainer.

Barack Obama, himself - Full name: Barack Hussein Obama II. A little background: Claiming to be born in Hawaii (I say "claiming" because that is currently under scrutiny - click here for more info), may have ties to the Muslim faith. Obama has repeatedly claimed that he was given an "African" name. However, his grandfather's name was "Hussein Onyango Obama". "Hussein" is Arabic-Muslim. NOT African. He named his son (Barack Obama's father) "Baraka". Baraka is an Arabic word meaning "blessed". Baraka comes out of the Koran and Arabic, not Africa. Barack Senior was also a devoted Muslim, and also chose a Muslim name for his son, Barack Obama II. Again, his name was Arabic and Koranic. Obama has said his father was born a Muslim. In the Arab culture and under Islamic law, if your father is a Muslim, you are too.

When Obama was only 2 years old, his parents divorced. His mother remarried and the family moved to Jakarta, Indonesia. In his books "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," Obama makes reference to the years he spent in a "Muslim school" while living in Jakarta.

On June 27, 2006, Senator Obama voted against a proposed ban on the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.

On August 30, 2007, Senator Obama voted against a bill that would authorize the US to monitor foreign communications routed through our country.

Campaign Contributions - A little background: I think everyone knows about Campaign Contributions. This is obviously money that is raised by any candidate running for almost any political office. The presidential candidates file monthly financial reports. To review these contributions and the contributors for each candidate, click here.

What's this got to do with Obama? The candidates usually disclose the names of all the contributors. However, Obama currently has $3.1 million in campaign contributions from unidentified foreigners.

(All that is stated above is pure fact. Not conjecture, not opinions, just pure simple facts. It's up to us to connect the dots and figure out what it all means.)

----------------------------------------------------

What this all boils down to is that as an American, you have to wonder:

Why does Obama seem to surround himself with people who really, really, really dislike America?

Obama claims that he is really not William Ayers' "friend". Well, then ask yourself this: why would someone, who Obama doesn't consider as a friend, help launch Obama's political career? Why would someone, who isn't your friend, throw a party for you in their own house? Give you some of their money to help finance your campaign? What would he have to gain?

Obama also claims that he didn't know Rev. Wright was anti-American. Really? Really? He sat and listened to Rev. Wright's blatantly anti-American sermons for 20 years. Either Obama is completely oblivious or just plain dumb (neither of which I would want as a President). Why would anyone continue to go to a church that spewed Anti-American venom on you at every sermon? After 20 years, don't you think you would start believing it (if you didn't believe it in the first place)?

Why would Michelle Obama only just now start being proud of her country? Why did it take her husband running for President to make her proud of her country?

Why are there so many unanswered questions about Barack Obama himself, his citizenship, his faith? He has even written about attending a Muslim school. Even though Obama can claim to be Christian now, according to Islamic law, once a Muslim, always a Muslim. So even if Obama thinks he is a Christian now, Muslims certainly do not. Would this explain the $3.1 million in anonymous foreign campaign contributions?

Why would Obama keep foreign campaign contributors anonymous? Why would they so desperately want Obama as the President of the US? So much so that they are willing to just hand over 3.1 million dollars. What would they have to gain?

Why would Obama vote against legislation that would prohibit the desecration of the American flag? Why doesn't he have any respect for one of the greatest symbols of the United States?

Why would he vote against allowing the government to monitor foreign communications that are specifically routed through our country? If that monitoring would protect our country, why would anyone NOT want it?

What is he hiding?

The possible answers to all these questions scares the crud out of me.

I'll give Obama credit, he's a very eloquent speaker. It doesn't matter what topic Obama is talking about, it's going to sound good. He's just a very, very good speaker. Well, as long as he has a teleprompter. (Sorry! I just had to put a little humor into this very serious post. And please click the link, the video is hilarious!) But when he is prepared, and has use of a teleprompter, the man is very convincing. He speaks so well, you really want to believe what he says. He can be telling you that the sky is green and the grass is blue, and you will want to believe him.

I won't go into all his political views, all his Socialist, Marxist ideals. I just want everyone, every American, to think long and hard about who they are voting for, what that vote might mean for our country. A vote for Obama is most certainly a vote against America.

It's no secret who I plan to vote for. I'll tell anyone who wants to know. As a Christian, there is no choice - there is only one candidate I can vote for. But as an American, there is certainly one candidate that I cannot vote for.

I think this year's election is far more important and reaches further than the candidate's political views. Think about their views on the country, on your country. Do some research, check to see what each candidate has done for his country in the past, what each candidate has sacrificed for his country. A candidate's record speaks volumes. It says a lot more than I can ever put on this blog.
