If his head gets any bigger, he won't need a plane.  He will just float like a hot-air balloon!

As far as I'm concrened, Obama-nation is full of hot air.

Reverend Wright, Senator Obama's mentor for the past 20 years...

Got these excerpts from Mark Alexander's 3-part article No ObamaNation...

Wright was, himself, a disciple of James Cone, one of the original champions of Black Liberation Theology, who wrote the following in his seminal work, Black Theology and Black Power: "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

Wright quotes Cone on TUC's website: "The time has come for white America to be silent and listen to black people. ... All white men are responsible for white oppression. ... Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man 'the devil'."

When asked if he would leave TUC (as if that would make everything copacetic), Obama said, "This is somebody who I have known for 20 years [who] led me to Christ. He is a biblical scholar. He is a well regarded preacher and somebody who is known for talking about the social gospel."

...

Perhaps the most important domestic policy issue the next president will undertake is the nomination of one or two Justices to the Supreme Court. Here is where Wright's mentorship of Obama really shines! Obama says he will nominate judges "who got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old -- and that's the criteria by which I'll be selecting my judges."

...

In 1969, Ayers and Dohrn were founding signatories of the Weathermen's declaration of unification with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" vanguards, to ensure "the destruction of U.S. imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world Communism."

...

Ayers and Dohrn scurried underground in 1970, after a bomb being constructed in New York to kill Army officers at Fort Dix detonated prematurely, killing three fellow Weathermen. (In the jargon of bomb technicians and investigators, this is known as "self solving.")

They surrendered to authorities a decade later but were never prosecuted because of "improper" FBI surveillance methods. Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Dohrn is an associate professor of law at Northwestern University.

...

Asked about his association with Ayers, Obama said, "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood ... who I know. ... He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis." So, he only exchanges ideas with him on an irregular basis?

Obama added the disclaimer that he was only eight years old when Ayers was bombing buildings. However, Obama was 40 when an unrepentant Ayers told The New York Times, "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough." (No small irony that interview was published on 11 September 2001.)

For her part, Dohrn once offered the following assessment of the Manson family murders: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into [pregnant actress Sharon Tate's] stomach! Wild!"

Nonetheless, Obama has maintained his association with Ayers and Dohrn, and the connection goes quite a bit deeper than just neighborhood proximity.

Ayers and Dohrn actually hosted the party to launch Obama's successful 1996 Illinois State Senate campaign at their fashionable Hyde Park home, a campaign endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America. Incidentally, the DSA would later note in a newsletter that State Senator Obama gave the eulogy for socialist Saul Mendelson, a "champion" of the "democratic left."

Obama and Ayers also served together on the Woods Fund board, which, incidentally, awarded $6,000 to Obama's "pastor," Jeremiah Wright, noting the grant was "in recognition of Barack Obama's contributions to Woods Fund as a director." This is the same board that supports such anti-Semitic organizations as the Arab-American Action Network.

A more in-depth look at Obama reveals he may indeed be a "hard-core academic Marxist" as accused by his 2004 Senate campaign opponent, and sacrificial lamb, Alan Keyes.

I know that there is hate in the words that I have put up here, they are not my words.  I am afraid we have really lost our way here in America.  It is not good, but people need to be aware of him and his associates.

"Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities... With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason and the mind becomes a wreck."

I am in Illinois and when Alan Keyes ran against Obama for the Senate I voted for Alan Keyes. Unfortunately Keyes is not a strong politician and seems to get less votes each time he runs for anything. Much of that has to do with his continually jumping ship from one place to another.

Obama site: Jews
must be 'burned'
Anti-Semites congregate on candidate's
official presidential campaign blog

Jews should be "burned" and "thrown in the oven."

Israel murdered 6 million Arabs.

Jews control American politics and dictate decisions of war and peace.

The Jewish state is leading a "Holocaust" against the Palestinian people and was responsible for 9/11.

The above are just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda that can be found on user-generated pages on Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign website, which allows registered members to form groups and post content in online "community" blogs.

The Obama campaign does not monitor all blog material but says it removes offending posts brought to the attention of site administrators.

A search through the community blogs on Obama's official site under such key words as "Zionists," "Israel Lobby," or "Jews" brings up thousands of entries, some containing what can easily be described as hate material.

In a blog posting on Obama's site titled, "Are Israeli Zionists in Control of Our Democracy?" user "Stan" claims "Israeli elements" in the U.S. who possess both American and Israeli citizenship "dominate our political process so we cannot act as an honest broker in the Middle East."

He said members of Congress "know that they must support the will of Israel or be subjected to the wrath of [pro-Israel groups]."

The posting goes on to urge a U.S. military boycott of Israel, lamenting that Hamas is labeled a terror group while the U.S. supplied Israel with "planes, rockets, cluster and phosphorus bombs for Israel to use at will."

Another blog entry, simply titled "Palestinians," concocts "Jewish genocide of six million Palis (Palestinians)" and urges Obama to "level the playing field for the suffering Palestinians."

"Many non-militant Arabs and Muslims await some degree of fairness from you if you are elected," noted the entry.

In a blog titled "Palestine vs. Israel," MyObama user "Patti" complains she "cannot comprehend how many Jewish people can speak of the Holocaust as well as stating that Israel is the Holy Land and commit the atrocities they are committing against the Palestinian people."

A blog labeled "The only way to free America" urges Americans to "throw the Jews in the oven."

"Shed ourselves from the racist Zionists in America. They control everything. But they won't keep us down any longer. Throw the Jews in the oven this November. Its the only way we can free America and make sure barack obama is elected!

One entry titled, "Stop the attacks on Muslim Nations to please Zionists," announces "Israel has destroyed its own image in the world and is taking America down with its Zionist aggression."

Anti-Semitic rhetoric is not limited to blog entries alone, but can also be found in user comments on some of the blog postings.

For example, a comment on a blog discussing energy, reads "Burn something else besides oil...start with the Zionists."

Many of the "Israel Lobby" entries have comments accusing Jews of controlling the U.S.

Still some comments are positive.

A comment on one anti-Israel entry asks the user, "Please re-think posting material like this; we are not interested in an anti-Israel policy."

The same entry elicited a comment from an Obama registered user stating, "The last thing we need is to be aligned with more anti-Semitic rhetoric. Jewish conspiracy speculation should be left to the experts at the United Nations."

Several offensive postings on the Obama site previously noted by WND and some Internet blogs have been removed by the Obama website staff.

One recently removed posting claims Jews control the media. Another referred to Jews as "puppet masters" and "war criminals." Yet another posting, titled "The Israeli connection to 9/11," claimed Israeli intelligence was involved in the mega-attack and planted "false flags" to blame Arab countries.

Other removed MyObama posts have warned of "Judeofacists and their Neocon comrades" who "already destroyed America" and declare the "entire Congress should be overthrown by revolution for having sold America to the Israelis."

Obama's campaign did not return a WND e-mail request for comment before press time, but Obama spokesmen previously have stated the campaign cannot monitor all content but it promptly removes content brought to its attention that is deemed inappropriate or hateful.

A disclaimer on the MyObama blog section reads, "Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign."

I wonder how many of those making such comments are of the anti--war, peace activist groups.

Man heckles Obama about Pledge of Allegiance
'John Q. Public' complains when Democrat doesn't call for its recitation

A man who wore press credentials and took photographs from a platform interrupted Barack Obama's town-hall meeting Tuesday by shouting complaints that the Democratic presidential candidate had not called for the audience to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Obama invited the heckler to lead the audience in the pledge, and he did.

Attendees at the gathering in the gymnasium at Baldwin Wallace College in this Cleveland suburb rose to their feet and recited the pledge. "Thank you, sir, appreciate it," Obama told the man.

The man, who carried a large, professional-style telephoto lens, was among photographers and videographers on the main press platform at one end of the gym. He wore what appeared to be the regular daily news media credential the campaign issues local news media members who cover the Illinois senator at a single events.

Campaign officials said they did not know who the man was, and no effort was made to remove him. He continued taking photographs throughout Obama's appearance.

Speaking with reporters afterward, he identified himself only as "John Q. Public" and declined to say which news organization, if any, he represented.

Asked why he had interrupted the event, the man said: "He (Obama) said it was a town-hall meeting" and open to the public. He expressed dismay that Obama hadn't called for the pledge himself, saying, "You all learned the pledge in the first grade."

[Soldier4Christ]

"You all learned the pledge in the first grade."

Did Obama? Perhaps that's the point. Perhaps Obama doesn't know it well enough to lead it.

Brothers and Sisters,

"The Zionists controlling and ruining everything is a bunch of HITLER BULL! Denying the Jewish Holocaust is a bunch of ImaNutJob's Iranian BULL! BLUNTLY, we are hearing and seeing INSANITY, and OBAMA is a perfect fit for the INSANITY! Only a complete LUNATIC would deny the Holocaust! HITLER was a record keeping nut, but literally tons of evidence exist other than what HITLER kept. We do have videos of those death camps, and untold numbers of servicemen SAW the death camps. In short, the whole world knew about the death camps, and they won't go away. There are names, dates, places, mass graves, and records of all kinds. DEATH CAMPS ARE A HARD FACT! THE JEWS DOING ANYTHING TO DESERVE THEM IS NON-EXISTENT! THE JEWS PLANNING ANY PALESTINIAN HOLOCAUST IS SPOILED BALONEY, NOT EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED BULL! The Jews simply want to live in freedom, relative safety, and be left alone. They simply want to be treated like humans and allowed some dignity. The vast majority of the Jews don't even think about revenge for the barbaric murderers of 6 million of them. By the way, 6 million is a conservative estimate. If they did want revenge, it would be against Germans, not the Palestinians. THE ONLY DANGER ISRAEL POSES IS TRYING TO SURVIVE, AND THAT'S ALL!

With each new revelation about OBAMA, it's becoming more and more impossible to determine why so many people are behind him. I can't even start to understand it. Even without the Obama Anti-Christ and Anti-Christian characteristics, there are several more outrageous and HUGE areas of concern that should have already turned all average people against him. SO, what's going on? Where are the SANE and quite AVERAGE people who used to run this country? They don't even need to be Christians, just people with some common sense who care about the future of this country. THIS IS EVIL REALITY - NOT A DREAM OR THE TWILIGHT ZONE! Regardless, as Christians we belong to JESUS CHRIST for eternity, so this EVIL world has no hold on us. It's NOT our HOME, and we'll be leaving it soon!

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 NASB
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Corinthians 15:50-58 NASB
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O  DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

Why do people deny the holocaust?

[Soldier4Christ]

Why do people deny the holocaust?

That's an excellent question, brother. As Brother Tom said it is pure insanity. When people go against Israel they are also going against God because God has made promises to Israel. In going against Israel they are intending to prove either that God does not exist or that their god is more powerful.

It is actually a sad situation because they are the ones that will lose in the end and it will be for eternity.

Obama's Muslim Advisor Quits Over Imam/Fund Ties To Muslim B'Hood, a known terrorist group

Obama's Muslim-Outreach Adviser Resigns

The Muslim-outreach coordinator to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama has resigned amid questions about his involvement in an Islamic investment fund and various Islamic groups.

Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi, who was appointed volunteer national coordinator for Muslim American affairs by the Obama campaign on July 26, stepped down Monday after an Internet newsletter wrote about his brief stint on the fund's board, which also included a fundamentalist imam.

"Mr. Asbahi has informed the campaign that he no longer wishes to serve in his volunteer position, and we are in the process of searching for a new national Arab American and Muslim American outreach coordinator," spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a statement.

A corporate lawyer at the firm of Schiff Hardin LLP, Mr. Asbahi tendered his resignation after he and the Obama campaign received emailed inquiries about his background from The Wall Street Journal. He did not respond to the email or a message left at his law office; the campaign released a letter in which Mr. Asbahi said he did not want to be a distraction.

The Obama campaign is trying to strike a balance between courting Muslim American voters and attempting to dispel stories that link him to radical Islam. Sen. Obama claims to be a Christian.

Until Mr. Asbahi joined the campaign, Sen. Obama did not have a Muslim-outreach coordinator and had relied on the Democratic National Committee's efforts. The campaign has long had its own outreach efforts to Catholic, evangelical Christian and Jewish voters. Some Muslim voters have complained about the disparity. An Obama aide says Mr. Asbahi was brought on in part to bridge that perceived gap and to reach out to Muslim communities in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, states seen as among the most competitive this fall.

"We need Muslim Americans to get excited about the Campaign, and there's a lot to get excited about!" Mr. Asbahi wrote in a statement posted on a blog when he was appointed. "Sure, there have been mis-steps," he added.

In 2000, Mr. Asbahi briefly served on the board of Allied Assets Advisors Fund, a Delaware-registered trust. Its other board members at the time included Jamal Said, the imam at a fundamentalist-controlled mosque in Illinois.

"I served on that board for only a few weeks before resigning as soon as I became aware of public allegations against another member of the board," Mr. Asbahi said in his resignation letter. "Since concerns have been raised about that brief time, I am stepping down...to avoid distracting from Barack Obama's message of change."

The eight-year-old connection between Mr. Asbahi and Mr. Said was raised last week by the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report, which is published by a Washington think tank and chronicles the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood, a world-wide fundamentalist group based in Egypt. Other Web sites, some pro-Republican and others critical of fundamentalist Islam, also have reported on the background of Mr. Asbahi. He is a frequent speaker before several groups in the U.S. that scholars have associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Justice Department named Mr. Said an unindicted co-conspirator in the racketeering trial last year of several Hamas fund-raisers, which ended in a mistrial. He has also been identified as a leading member of the group in news reports going back to 1993.

Mr. Said is the imam at the Bridgeview Mosque in Bridge-view, Ill., outside Chicago. He left the board of the Islamic fund in 2005, Securities and Exchange Commission filings state. A message left for Mr. Said at the mosque was not returned.

Allied Asset Advisors is a subsidiary of the North American Islamic Trust. The trust, which is supported financially by the government of Saudi Arabia, holds title to many mosques in the U.S. and promotes an extreme brand of Islam compatible with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and also akin to the style predominant in Saudi Arabia. Allied executives did not respond to inquiries.

Here is an account of a visit to the mosque by Steven Emerson:

..."Later, he took Khalid and me to the Bridgeview Mosque, where Jamal Said was the imam. I could tell immediately that we were deep in the heart of Hamas territory. The walls of the vestibule were covered with Hamas posters and recruiting literature showing masked gunmen brandishing automatic weapons. It was all in Arabic, but you could see daggers plunged into Jewish hearts wrapped up in American flags. They even had a library filled with militant terrorist videos and books. Khalid was there to translate for me. The Friday service was a rather strange experience. Out of 800 people, I was the only one wearing a red ski jacket. When the service was over I approached the imam and asked him if he had known Abdullah Azzam. He was very defensive. "I never met with him," he said quickly and then dismissed me. Earlier that year, two Hamas operatives, congregants of the mosque, were arrested in Israel for transferring money from the United States to terrorists on the West Bank. One of these men, Mohammad Jarad, told the Israelis that he was sent on his mission by Jamal Said".

There is just no end to news of Obama's muslim ties.  The people need to wake up before it's too late.  But then, just like the people who need to wake up to Jesus before it's too late, many never will.  Sad.

"Where are the SANE and quite AVERAGE people who used to run this country? They don't even need to be Christians, just people with some common sense who care about the future of this country."

One, do you dare to spend the money it takes to run for a prominent office?

Two, do you dare to walk a slippery slop of mud slinging and trash talking?  Sure, you might not be the one slinging the mud and trash talking, but the public would see that as weakness.

Three, do you dare to let your dirty laundry be aired in public, for all to see?  No one's perfect, not even a Christian, but the political smear campaigns don't care.

My apologies for my pessimistic overtures.

Sincerely,

Hello MangoMan,

I don't think that you're being pessimistic at all - just stating facts. It is a horrible and expensive ordeal to run for public office these days. The vast majority of folks wouldn't be able to afford the first 10 minutes. The media is also ruthless with a candidate's entire family unless the candidate fits the agenda of the media. We should already know that the mainstream media is far left and anti-Christian. This last point is important for Christians because it's difficult for us to find accurate news sources that distribute the TRUTH.

In terms of a level playing field, that no longer exists in politics. It appears that BIG MONEY and SPECIAL INTERESTS get what they want one way or another. Christians are portrayed as dumb folks who should not be seen or heard. In fact, our rights and freedoms are being removed as we speak. We probably are seeing either a preview or the ushering in of the Last Days of this Age of Grace. If so, things are going to get much worse. At the same time, Christian persecution is growing much worse around the world - including our part of the world. The numbers for Christians being beaten, imprisoned, and killed for simply being Christians is also escalating quickly. In short, this evil world is almost like a runaway train going downhill into the pit. The Bible tells us what will most certainly happen at GOD'S Appointed Time, and I'm convinced that time is growing near.

As Christians, our priorities haven't changed at all - NONE! We should all be praying for strength, courage, and guidance - AND YIELD FOR GOD'S USE - BIG OR SMALL - EVEN TO PHYSICAL DEATH!

Love In Christ,
Tom
