I am a Conservative voice of America. I have studied and learned the terrorist ties Obama has, both here and abroad, in Kenya with Odinga and the Middle East and Ahmed Yousef. He is not who you think he is. Al Jazeera and Hammas endorse Obama, why? As well as attacks both Bush and McCaine. That tiny fact alone should open up the Jewish communities eyes!
To Obama, Israels fight is an inconvenient one, not a worthy cause or right!
I will be visiting Israel early next year, and feel safe in doing so; why? Because Israel employs the kind of security that is not the liberally promoted POLITICALLY correct way, the way we here are FORCED to. I am coming to Israel now, because I do fear that if Obama is elected, Israel will suffer and will no longer be safe for me; It’s now or never in that case.
I am a Catholic and we support our Judeo-Christian heritage!

All I ask, is that any Jewish person who is sold on Obama, please, please just dig a little into his recent past and his allies, his radical views and plans for the WORLD.
A note on whether there will be Anti-Jewish sentiment because of Wall St; NO.
The fiasco was a forced issue on banks stemming from a 1970’s Democrat Bill to make lenders provide financing to risky borrowers; a noble idea yes, but dumb. As of more recently, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were basically blackmailing lending institutions in refusing to buy their business unless they provided these risky loans! The Democrats who run Fannie and Freddie were even trying to force the issue that the portfolio’s of Fannie and Freddie should include 50%, yes, 50% of these risky loans! Not 2% or 5% but 50% bad loans! Outrageous! Look at archival video and see the Republicans including Bush from 2001 thru 2007 and McCaine in 2005 (as well as many others) WARNING Congress! All the Dems DENIED a problem or even a potential problem! Some Dems have come forward in the past couple of weeks and even admitted their ‘mistake’ in denying this Republican warned impending disaster year after year!
If all you watch is CNN; you are missing the whole story, they simply cherry pick what THEY want you to know and bury the rest. As I am a FOX watcher, I get to see BOTH sides, I know of all of CNN’s ‘Cherry picked news’ as well as the REST OF THE STORY and ‘they’ HATE that!
I SUPPORT ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST AND THRIVE IN PEACE IN THIS WORLD AND WILL BACK UP THAT CLAIM WITH MY VOTE or more if necessary! The religious RIGHT is Israel’s friend, period!
May God Bless you all and keep you safe!

Obama

A great example of Obama’s constructive bravery and leadership in how he dealt with the recent financial subprime meltdown:  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122403045717834693.html

The magic of Obama: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122360618747721991.html

  From: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=YTdhMWYwZWY1ZTNlY2M3YmFkMzE0ZWIzODc1MjQ1MDk=
  As Mark Levin notes below, Obama presents himself as mainstream.
I suspect that almost every Cornerite could make each of the following statements:
  My career was not launched with the assistance of an unrepentant terrorist.
  My pastor has never said “God damn America.”
  I don’t think our troops are “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians.”
  My spouse doesn’t think America is a “downright mean country.”
  I’ve never sat on a board with an unrepentant terrorist.
  I’ve never directed millions of dollars to radical organizations.
  I’ve never opposed requiring medical care for babies who are born alive.
  I bought my home without assistance from a convicted felon.
  I’ve never taken my kids to a church whose pastor thinks AIDS was created by the government.
  If Obama’s mainstream, most Americans are extremists.

See this video for a quick introduction:  http://patriotroom.com/?p=3142

http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/194392.php
It’s not just that Barack Obama’s father was a Marxist economist or that his mother Stanley came from radical far-left roots.
It’s not just that Obama’s childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a famous communist poet.
It’s not just that Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor, counselor and spiritual mentor of 20 years is a racist, America-hating radical.
It’s not just that Michael Phleger, Obama’s other spiritual mentor is every bit as extreme as Wright.
It’s not just that his wife Michelle has never been really that proud of America, or that she thinks this country is “mean”.
It’s not just that Obama refused to wear a flag, or that he refused to salute it during the national anthem.
It’s not just that Obama’s political and financial benefactor William Ayers is an unrepentant radical socialist terrorist.
It’s not just that Bernadine Dohrn regrets that she didn’t kill more people back in the 1960s.
It’s not just that Alice Palmer, Obama’s political mentor in Chicago, was a communist propagandist.
It’s not just that Obama was a member of the radical socialist New Party or that he ran as a candidate for public office under their far-left platform.
It’s not just that Obama was an agitator, trainer and attorney for the corrupt and radical-left ACORN.
None of these facts, by itself, tells you that much about Barack Obama. A reasonable person should, however, be able to look at this motley crew of left-wing communists and America-haters, realize that Barack Obama’s rolodex is a veritable Who’s Who of American Socialism, be very, very disturbed by that fact and ask some very probing questions about WHO Barack Obama is, WHAT he believes, and WHY this gang of radical America-haters considers Barack Obama such a good friend.

capacity. Sen. Obama’s plan would reduce an entrepreneur’s after-tax profits by $70,000 – $56,000 in lost profits and $14,000 more in taxes –

just to produce a net revenue gain to the government of $14,000.  It’s shocking to think we have a presidential candidate who intends to make

the private sector $5 poorer in order to make the government $1 richer.“

Newbies, let me state a few facts and opinions and then you can begin your name-calling and labeling of me after that, but be assured my lack of respect for right-wingers will deflect all the nonsense you throw my way.  First of all, Israel has 2 peace treaties with two of its neighbors, Egypt and Jordan.  These are not accidents, and they evolved due to the efforts of two Democratic Presidents, Jimmy Carter (and don’t start with your castigation of Carter, I don’t want to hear it), and Bill Clinton.  No Republican has helped Israel to achieve peace with any of her neighbors.  And since most Republicans self-righteously refuse to even talk to people with whom they disagree, or don’t like, or believe don’t like us, the odds of McCain (that is the correct spelling, by the way, not McCaine) or any Republican helping Israel make peace are slim and none.  cool grin
As far as this recent and alleged Judeo-Christian pact.  Let me explain, I also believe in Jesus as the Messiah, and most Christians are the same pagans and heathens that they’ve always been as exemplified by the taking of pagan holidays and mocking Jesus, a Jew, by associating his birth and death with these days.  Any people who can be so completely off base will never earn my respect, nor do I trust you heathens at all.  On the other hand, the last 1400+ years of relative mutual respect between Muslims and Jews (for example most Jews and Muslims don’t eat every piece of garbage, there are rules to follow individually) I believe prove that peace can be achieved between Israel and Islamic nations.  The people who have nothing left to prove in their hatred for Jews and all things Jewish are you folks, the Christians; especially the Catholics (the idol-worshipping pagans), who select a former Hitler youth as their pope, and have hundreds of child molesting priests, and yet you still call yourself one of them, as if it is fine and dandy.  Of course you have the right to be whatever faith you wish, just do not assume that I automatically respect this (Now call me a Communist, blah, blah, blah).  shut eye
Let me give you and other readers an example of the Christian anti-Semitism which I know to be a cornerstone of this faith.  At age 20 I read the Bible, on my own, ready to become a Christian.  I discovered a Jewish history book (who knew?).  I also discovered a close variation of my family name in a book of Leviticus and throughout the first 5 books.  I went to meet with a Lutheran pastor and asked him at our second or third meeting.  Which is it?  Meaning which is the Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday?  His response was very telling, to me a person who can read between the lines, and below the surface.  He said, ‘We picked Sunday to be different than the Jews.‘  Therefore, I understood and still understand, there was no concern or respect for objective truth.  No concern for which day is actually the 7th day of the week, a basic fact of life frankly.  More important to most Christians (I know about 7th Day Adventists, thank you), were and I believe still are their prejudices and hatreds; or after nearly 1700 years of pagan/Christianity more people might have determined that Saturday is Day 7 of the week and would have responded accordingly.  You can even figure that out and still hate the Jews, if that is so important to the pagan/Christians, and I know, I mean I know it is.  In this case, it is more important to most Christians still today to not be like the Jews, even if Saturday is the 7th day of the week.  This, like your pedophile priests and a myriad of other dispicable actions (like the fact that every single Nazi who ran the camps, who ran the trains, who looted Jews homes, every gd one of these were products of a pagan/Christian culture, are also no accident).  wink

Now the fact remains that the heathens/Christians run the world or it would not be 2008, it would be 5769 or even 1429 (the Muslim year) or both (or even 4706, the Chinese year.  Oh, and by the way, the world is and always was round).  As far as Christians using their latest boogyman, the Muslims/Arabs (remember the Communists 40+ years ago) to divide and conquer, and now pretending to like and respect Jews all of a sudden.  I may have been born at night, but I wasn’t born last night.  I for one am not taking the bait.  Christian/pagan/heathens have nothing, I repeat nothing left to prove in just how evil and depraved human beings can become, and the Catholics truly take the cake.  And no, I’m not leaving this country, I’ll stay right here and do everything and anything possible to expose you gd heathens for what you are, always were, and I assume are intent on fighting to the death to remain.  cheese
And please webmaster I know my words are harsh, but my respect and friendship must be earned and these people should be responded to and of course Newbie has every right to reply as does anybody else.  I believe the statement “Never Again” needs to be understood in its entirety.  I just hope you will not censor this harsh, but I believe true statement of fact and opinion.  cool hmm

America’s 44th President

Good bye George and Richard. We will miss your sound judgment in committing our country to the invasion and protracted war in Iraq, and for not establishing reasonable regulatory oversight of Wall Street and of our mortgage lending and financial system during your 8 year watch.

Sorry Bill and Hillary. Of course we really wanted you back in the white house again so that Bill could have another shot at more action with interns in the oval office. 

John, we respect you for clearly putting the needs of our country above petty politics in choosing your running mate; but Sarah, unfortunately it looks like we may never get the chance to fulfill our wildest dream: to someday have President Palin lead the free world.

But what about Barack Obama?

The New York Times in its endorsement of Barack Obama said: “Mr. Obama has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change. He has shown a cool head and sound judgment. We believe he has the will and the ability to forge the broad political consensus that is essential to finding solutions to this nation’s problems.”

“In the same time, Senator John McCain of Arizona has retreated farther and farther to the fringe of American politics, running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism. His policies and worldview are mired in the past. His choice of a running mate so evidently unfit for the office was a final act of opportunism and bad judgment that eclipsed the accomplishments of 26 years in Congress.”

Senator John McCain is a respected 72 year old American warrior, but he is on a path whose slope, however gentle, is downward. On the contrary Senator Barack Obama is an intelligent, articulate, and insightful 47 year old American whose best years lie ahead of him; a man who graduated near the top of his class at Harvard Law School and was president of its Law Review; a man who understands and respects the American constitution because he was an instructor of constitutional law for 12 years at the University of Chicago Law School; a man familiar with the American legislative process because he served 3 terms as an Illinois State Senator and the past 4 years as a US Senator; a man acquainted with Washington but one who also brings fresh ideas and a passion for bringing about important and necessary changes in Washington.

Senator Barack Obama is a man of equanimity, keen intellect, clear vision, sound judgment, and steadfast determination. He is the man America needs today. He is the man who can lead America into the future.

Todah for stating the truth. Maybe I am not totally sold on MCCain but Obama being elected after the a deep, deep look at the facts and not what makes me feel good and wanna bow down and worship him, brings me to the conclusion, I’d rather have McCain than Obama.

Like Alan Dershowitz, AIPAC, and 7 out of 10 American Jews, I’m voting for Obama.  He’s solid on Israel and he’s going to do much more for the green energy industry than McCain.  And green energy means freedom from Arab oil and that’s about the best thing this country can do for Israel, other than continue loan guarantys, which of course Obama will do.

No OB,

It seems like you’ve done a lot of research.  I found JJ because of the video they posted to YouTube and recent posts on Jerusalem Post (from U.S. people) asking readers to contact the L.A. Times and insist they respond to charges that they are not releasing the tape because Obama was seen doing and saying some outrageous things regarding Israel.

Things like applauding with the rest of the guests after a kid read a poem charging Israel as a “state terrorist”.  It’s also claimed that Obama in his remarks to Khalidi referred to Jerusalem as “the true capitol of the Palestinian people” and in the context of his debates with Khalidi, he came to understand his (Khlidi’s) misgivings about “the Zionist entity”.  I assume that was part of a statement Obama made saying he still disagrees with Khalidi, but we’ll never know because of the coverup.

Anyway, were you aware that this stuff is leaking out about the tape… and if so, is it coming from a reliable source or is it just more Internet buzz aimed at goading the Times into denying the charges?

How now Red Cow?

Baruch Obama got 78% +/- of the Jewish vote.

We can distinguished between reality and hate, smears and lies, I guess.

A historian/journalist, genuine pundit about M.E. affairs (is a contributing editor in US News and
World Report, FOUAD AJAMI, has been saying for several years now that the Arab world,
albeit silently, applauds the US intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq, it’s sanctions against Iran
and attack against Serbia over Kosovo.

I respect Mr. Ajami as the most informed, educated, and articulate spokesperson for
our (US policy) in that part of the planet.

In effect, he says, we freed 50m Muslims from the dictatorships of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban.
( He was critical of any US force that might have been excessive however).

The Congress has approved over 600 billion in funds, for the above 2 wars since 1991, notwithstanding
all the crying by some Democrats.

Isn’t this the bottom line as far as who supports and who doesn’t support these efforts?
George Bush understood the real threat of Islamic fascism to both Iraqis, the region and the
world, including Israel, Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries. He knew that all the characters
whcih advocated and carried out “Jihad” were of cut from the same cloth.

Saddam Hussein killed up to 1 million Iranians and 600,000 of his own people, including of course
the Kurds (killed AFTER the 1991 cease fire). Bush needed no further reason to end that regime, not
WMD, the failed oil for food program or the violation of the 1991 weapons agreement.

Syria has 3 clandestine support nuclear plants, which is off limits (and which it denies) to the IAEA.
There is absolute evidence of enriched uranium particles found at the bombed out site, which Syria
claims was an abandoned building.

Iran, despite 3 UNSC sanctions, is still pursuing it’s atomic weaponry program, which it states
is for peaceful purposes (to produce electricity). It has recently completed massive sea-air maneuvers which
included 60 navy ships. It is reported to have manufactured three times the previous estimated long range missiles.
Iran’s leadership, at the very top levels, have threatened numerous times to wipe Israel off the map.

Barak Obama now says (read today’s LA Times) that his administration will reboot the admiration in the world
most especially the Middle East (Muslim world). He will use his middle name, officially, HUSSEIN.

Last week, he said during an interview that Iran will not be allowed to have nukes, AND the US is prepared
to offer Iran economic incentives. (Some have questioned just where this money will come from?).

So, let me summarize. The US freed millions of Muslims from dictatorship rule and extremism Islam. We
pushed 3 sanctions against Iran, ineffective as they are. We tried to bring democracy to Iraq. We gave
Pakistan over 5 billion dollars, while their insurgency has flourished (see India). We are preparing to
remove tens of thousands of troops from Iraq, to Afgthanistan, to fight the embolden Taliban. We are illegally
bombing bases in Pakistan.

Yet, Barack Obama predicts those Muslims who currently hate US, will CHANGE.

Sure, after he pressures Israel to withdraw back to the Holocaust bordors, to give up Eastern Jerusalem,
to permit hundreds of thousands of Arabs to move to Israel..while he forbids them to take out Iran’s nuke
sites/violate Iraqi airspace.

Just more double talk from the smartest con artist ever to run for politics., Barack Obama.
He sure fooled a lot of Juden.

No long diatribe here. Give the man a chance.  Past associations?  The man is a politician and any politician in office is like a chameleon that changes rapidly.  The man is blacfk.  Noone ever thought a catholic would ever become President and then came Kennedy.  Now given a tossup between a Jew and a black becoming President, I’d have bet on the Jew. And now, I’m a loser.  As for McCain, he’s still a Senator, no?  Why isn’t he writting bills that can pull us out of this dilemna as he promised he’d save the country.  He’s mute.  Did Obama have direct contact with the Illinois Governor?  Sure, through Rambo, his court Jew.  It’s inconceivable that there wouldn’t have been any intercourse between to two because this is politics and politicans are corruptable i.e. you vote for me and I vote for your Bill or add on. Chicago politics is known for it and it may turn out that Obama may be the best President this country ever had for he has the brains and insight to succeed.  By succeeding, many people will hate him ,for tough decisions always hurt people.  Sacrifice one to save many, so I say, give the man a chance to test his mettle.  Noone knows what he has in mind but I believe the most people are willing to gamble on this man

My pleasure.  Okay, I see where Obama is naming another Jewish person (Shapiro) for his team.  Haven’t seen this many “Familiar” names in any other President’s cabinets etc.  Next thing you know, the Arabs are going to claim that Obama has a jewish blood line and is letting his kin in.
A good politician gets elected (By hook or by crook) and in the final analysis you find that they’ve come in contact with people whose hands aren’t clean and they get reelected.  Ted Stevens of Alaska was a darling to the Alaskan politicians and oil people.  The Illinois Gov.  is going to get ousted with no jail time.  Too many paid off cronies.  He’s lucky if he doesn’t join Hoffa.
