| Did Michelle Obama rail against "whitey" in Reverend Wright's church? | ||

A few weeks back, I speculated why Hillary Clinton refused to drop out of the presidential race. I theorized that perhaps a video of Barack Obama cheering during one of Jeremiah Wright's anti-white, anti-US tirades had been discovered by the Clinton campaign or others opposed to an Obama presidency. My guess might turn out to have been a pretty good one since now a report has surfaced claiming existence of video tape showing Michelle Obama, wife of presidential candidate Barack Obama, railing against "whitey" from the pulpit of racist, anti-US pastor Reverend Wright's church. According to Larry Johnson, a former Deputy Director in the US State Department and a hardcore Hillary Clinton supporter: "I now have it from two three four sources (three who are close to senior If and when this clip is made public, Obama's star will rise precipitously within leftist circles, but his hope of becoming the next president of the United States will be instantly destroyed. Perhaps Johnson's revelation has something to do with Obama's recent statement urging Republicans to "lay off" his wife, as if Michelle Obama's behavior, provocative statements and high-profile stance during his campaign should somehow be immune from examination and criticism. We'll be watching this developing story closely. |

| Like A Good Leftist, Barack Obama Will Disarm America | ||
|
||
|
||

A settled truth among leftists is that the US is the world's biggest threat to world peace. Constantly subverting and talking down the War on Islamic Terror, sometimes even calling it the "so called war on terror," the Left generally ignores and downplays the global network of ultra-violent radical Muslims whose stated mission is global domination, and instead concentrates on trying to disarm, neutralize and dismantle what it thinks is the world's only true terrorist state besides Israel; the United States of America. Part of the Left's strategy against the US involves subverting, maligning and dismantling its military at nearly every opportunity. Now, the most radical Left presidential candidate ever, Barack Hussein Obama, has made clear that if he is elected president he will, for all intents and purposes, immediately send our enemies a clear message of weakness -- in a time of war -- by promising to abandon Iraq to Iran and Al Qaeda and to cut back on US weapons programs and weapons development. He has also states that he will sit down and "talk" with international terrorists including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and North Korea's sociopathic tyrant, Kim Jong Il. It is no wonder why terrorists and leaders of rogue nations across the globe are endorsing Obama for president, hoping for his victory in November. In the video below, Barack Obama makes promises to shrink the US Military and decrease its capabilities. He promises to slow and prevent development of future weapons systems and to make good on his often stated intention to flee from Iraq as soon as he is elected. Some of Obama's plan to keep America safe and strong in this post-911 time of war, in this battle for civilization against pre-medieval barbarianism: “I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.” Never mind that all development stage weapon systems suffer failures during their development. Failures during development are intrinsic to the successful development of anything. "I will not weaponize space." If we don't develop space systems to protect our vital communications and intelligence satellites, present and future enemies will surely see them as easy targets and develop ways to destroy them. "I will slow our development of future combat systems." Will present and future enemies of the US do the same thing? Will we be stuck spending money on keeping aging weapons platforms, like the B-52 bomber, in service while our enemies develop more advanced offensive systems? Whatever happened to "supporting the troops" by giving them the best weaponry and defensive systems money can buy? ". . . I will not develop new nuclear weapons." So we are stuck with aging and potentially unstable, worthless nuclear weapons, some of which date back to the early days of the Cold War? "I will seek a global ban on fissile material." Tell that to rogue nations like North Korea and Iran. (Oh, wait -- Obama's going to sit down and talk them into being nice to us. . .) If fissile material is banned, won't nuclear power plants become a thing of the past, furthering reliance on oil for energy needs, increasing the supposed impacts of so-called man-made global warming? ". . . and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal." Yes, of course! -- If the US reduces its nuclear arsenal, every country in the world will automatically follow suit. Al Qaeda will abandon its intention to detonate nuclear devices in major US cities. After all, the only reason other nations and terrorist groups acquire or try to acquire nuclear weapons is because they fear attack from the sexist, racist, homophobic, hubristic, imperialistic, evil capitalistic America! Barack Obama's overall stance regarding America's ability to defend itself is, to put it mildly, a recipe for self-induced national destruction. The world has always been a dangerous place where actions speak louder than words. That is a reality that only an arrogant, messianic fool like Barack Obama would think he could change. Obama is nothing we haven't seen before: a naive, effete leftist -- one who views the US with general disdain -- a self-impressed politician who thinks that if the US disarms, gets on its knees and begs the world for forgiveness for its real and imagined sins, men like Osama Bin Laden and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il will magically lay down their weapons, give up their totalitarian ways and become "world citizens" of a soft, dull and squishy, equitable and peaceful brotherhood of man, one in which all needs are met and all desires satisfied. Those of us who know differently will tell you that when it comes to real-world, physical self-preservation or real-world national preservation, you don't bring a water pistol, or a pretty, polished speech, or a stupid "peace" sign to a potential gun fight. You bring a more powerful, more accurate weapon than your adversary has, and you are unquestionably ready to use it. |

I knew it was just a matter of time before Barack Obama's water-carriers in the Non-Mainstream Media (NMSM) took the desperate tack of implying that when it comes to white people, any opposition to a Barack Obama presidency equals "racism." This pathetic ploy will backfire enormously, since most whites are not racist against blacks and they resent being told by a small group of leftist "intellectuals," race hustlers, Marxist academics and Hollywood airheads that they are. That resentment will manifest itself in less white votes for Obama. Over 90% of black Democratic Party primary voters voted for Obama. The press characterizes that lopsidedness as evidence of "racial pride." But if 90% of white primary voters had voted for Hillary Clinton over Obama, there is no doubt that such a trend would have been trumpeted by the NMSM as irrefutable evidence of endemic white racism toward blacks. The Left, including the NMSM, is in desperation mode to promote its sinking candidate. They have very little to work with however. Up until now, NMSM attempted defenses of Obama's putrid inner circle members, including Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, have failed. As the NMSM is discovering, in the real world it is exceedingly difficult to effectively defend repulsive, evil characters or a man who takes guidance from them. Perhaps it is possible to do so when amongst those who drink from the poisoned well of the postmodern American academy or when sipping cocktails with those who sit on the editorial board of The New York Times, but beyond those insulated minorities such efforts usually fail -- most Americans know glaring bunk when they see it. The overwhelming majority of white Americans are not racist like Jeremiah Wright, nor do they hold their country in revulsion; wishing for its destruction like the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers does or Barack Obama's communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis did. Common sense Americans can clearly see that Barack Obama's long term relationships with those men and others like them indicate a presidential candidate who either generally agrees with those un-American views, or suffers from incredibly poor judgement -- or both. None of those qualities is fitting of a US president and most Americans intuitively know that. There is only one play left for the NMSM in its defend-and promote-Obama playbook: Only racists don't like Obama. The Washington Post kicked-off that defense today with an article titled "Racist Incidents Give Some Obama Campaigners Pause." Here's a taste of the article, one which you will see endless permutations of in the coming months: Now, class, repeat after me: I'm not voting for Barack Obama because he is far left of the American mainstream, or because he is wholly inexperienced to assume the office of the presidency, or because he is inarguably a statist and socialist, or because he counts domestic terrorists, anti-white racists, communists and America-haters as his mentors, close friends and confidantes -- I'm not voting for Obama simply because I am a R-A-C-I-S-T who hates black people. |

| Barack Obama Cheapens the Office of the Presidency | ||
|
||
|

Call me old fashioned. I think a person who sticks a cigar into a woman and then smokes it while in the Oval Office, shows great disrespect for the office of the presidency. I think a sitting or former US president who appears in a skit on Saturday Night Live or on a late night TV talk show cheapens the office of the Presidency. I think a former US Vice-President who performs on a comedy program as a flaming homosexual in a hot tub cheapens the office of the President. Al Gore did that years back -- it was incredibly tactless and gross. When I saw that on television late one Saturday night, I was shocked. It takes a lot to shock me. I am not what most people would consider a "prude." Maybe such things as disrespecting our country's highest office don't matter to most Americans anymore. We live in a time in America where almost nothing is sacred -- where responsibility and goodness is often mocked and defiled while evil, perversion, falsehood and misogyny are exalted, made "cool" and normalized. Since the cultural defilement of the 1960s, American culture has continued being picked apart, subverted and perverted by a class of people who are too busy maximizing advertising revenues -- at any cost -- for the companies they own or work for, or it is being deconstructed and wrecked by a class of academic and arts elites who truly hate the mores, traditions and beliefs that make America mighty. In my naivety or stupidity though, I fantasize that there are still millions of Americans, just like me, who think those institutions and values, and those things that symbolize the greatness of America, are worthy of our national respect and our protection, that they should remain untouched and undefiled. The office of the Presidency is one of those things. That is why I felt anger build in my heart while viewing the below video, which shows presidential candidate Barack Obama shamelessly, luridly and unpresidentially posing his crotch to a group of female CNN reporters who are acting like a group of overheated teenagers at a Chippendale's show. Who said the major media lean toward Obama? -- clearly, the CNN reporters in the video aren't just in love with Obama, they are in need of kneepads to service him. I think stripped of his carefully constructed gloss Barack Obama is a creep -- a carefully constructed phony, a radical leftist and black liberationist; a disrespectful, anti-white racist and America-hater; a sleazeball of the first order with no qualifications to be our president. He will never be president of the United States if the majority of Americans still retain an ounce of decency, or common sense. A peek at Obama's personal sleaziness -- a sleaziness that I long ago caught a whiff of -- is now clearly on display for all Americans to see. I'm going to barf now. . . |

| What's Next for Hillary? | ||

Oh man! -- I'd hate to be Bill Clinton. How many dishes, pots and pans has he had to duck since Obama's MSM rump-swabs have now all but declared Barack Obama the Democratic Party's presidential nominee? How much anger and bitterness will he have to endure in the coming months now that the likelihood of a Barack Obama nomination looks more like an inevitably after his wife's tepid win in Indiana? -- a lot, I hope. Still, the question remains as to why Hillary Clinton refuses to concede defeat. Is it because she simply cannot believe that a young, inexperienced Senator; an empty suit with a silver tongue and serious personal baggage has upstaged her? Is it because she is so impressed by her own political powers that she thinks she can subvert the laws of simple mathematics? Or is she simply just so self destructive and power-mad that she is willing to fritter away millions of her and Bill's millions on a lost cause, even to the point that her and Bill are forced to return to the Arkansas trailer park where it all began? Unlikely. I have wracked my brain for nearly a week trying to figure out why she has yet to concede. Hillary Clinton isn't nuts. She isn't totally deluded, either. She is one of the most astute and ruthless politicians of our time. She knows when a fight is over, and she knows when it's time to fold. Remember, to both Bill and her everything is about them; their political fortunes and their financial fortunes and nothing gets in the way of either. I do not think the Clintons are capable of expending those fortunes on a truly lost cause. I think there's more to Hillary's holdout. I'm going on pure speculation here because to me nothing else really makes sense in explaining her refusal to quit -- I speculate that the Clinton camp might have knowledge of a major scandal involving Barack Obama, a scandal so debilitating that it will completely destroy whatever little chance he currently has to beat John McCain in the general election, regardless of any Old Media attempts to squash such a scandal. Perhaps the Hillary Machine is hanging on hoping such a scandal will soon break. I don't usually throw out such raw speculation, but Hillary's post-Indiana stance seems outside the box of her normal political behavior. Even given Obama's clear unelectability surely she can see that her Party's superdelegates can't throw the nomination to her. Sure, if Barack Obama was white, that would have been no problem whatsoever for Party leaders and other superdelegates to do. But Obama, though he is half white, self-identifies as a black man and American blacks consider him to be their man. If the Party were to surrender to pragmatism in terms of a November victory, its superdelegates would oust Obama in August and Hillary would likely be the next US President. But it dares not do that for if it did, it would be ripped to pieces, perhaps destroyed completely as a viable political entity. Hillary, her husband and her advisers know all this. Besides knowledge of impending self-inflicted wreckage of the Obama juggernaut, why would she not at this point in the campaign, fold her tent and make plans for 2012? Anyone care to speculate? |

| Will Barack Obama Denounce Unrepentant Terrorist Bill Ayers? | ||

When Barack Obama's relationship with radical leftist, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers finally drew media attention, Obama described the relationship as follows:"[Bill Ayers is]... a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of Note Obama's lawyerly evasion -- he frames the statement in the present tense. In other words, he doesn't deny having had regular contact with Ayers, he just denies currently having regular contact with him. That rhetorical ploy serves to deceive the listener into thinking that Obama hardly knows Bill Ayers at all. The reality, however, is that Barack Obama knows Bill Ayers quite well. Obama's political career was launched in Bill Ayer's living room. Ayers helped choose Obama to assist him in satisfying the Chicago Annenberg Challenge through which Ayers hoped to essentially twist Chicago's public schools into leftwing indoctrination centers. The attempt failed. Afterwards, Obama worked closely with Ayers at the Woods Fund and Bill Ayers once contributed cash to Barack Obama's campaign war chest. In other words, Ayers wasn't just "a guy" who lived in Obama's neighborhood. Their mutual relationship goes much deeper than that. When Obama's directorship on the Woods Fund came to light and he was further questioned on what his actual relationship with the unrepentant terrorist and leftist indoctrinator was, a "fact sheet" attempting to distance Obama from the bomb-making radical appeared on the Barack Obama website. The major point of the "fact sheet" was to promote the notion that Barack Obama was only 8 years old when Ayers and his fellow Weather Underground terrorists were planting bombs, murdering Americans and inadvertently blowing themselves up. Nestled comfortably between mounds of MSM pro-Obama effluence and Old Media pro-Obama apologetics, there is a statement on the Obama website's Ayers fact sheet that says:
Fair enough, but Barack Obama wasn't eight years old when Bill Ayers gave an interview to Chicago Magazine in August, 2001. On the pages of that interview there were two pictures. The first one shows a defiant looking Ayers standing on an American flag. The second photo shows him stomping on it. Note: Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert are Chris Boudin's parents. Both parents were Weather Underground terrorists. Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert were involved in the ambush murders of two policeman and a Brinks security guard and had planned and participated in other violent crimes. For her deeds, Boudin served 22 years in prison and was paroled in 2003. Gilbert remains incarcerated. At the time the Chicago Magazine pictures were taken, Obama and Ayers were working together as board members of the Woods Fund of Chicago, a philanthropic group that awards grants primarily to leftist organizations and leftwing causes. Obama wasn't eight years old when Ayers voted to award a special $6,000 Woods Fund grant to Jeremiah Wright's racist church in Obama's name in 2001. And he wasn't eight years old when he went to work -- due to Ayer's influence -- for the Annenberg Challenge prior to his tenure at the Woods Fund. He wasn't eight years old when Ayers, who states that teachers should use their classrooms to foment the overthrow of capitalism, gave his 2007 take on what America is: ". . . Empire resurrected and unapologetic, war without end, an undefined enemy In 2001, when asked if he thought America was a just country Ayers said: "America is just not a fair and decent place." When asked in 2001, (well after Barack Obama had been eight years old), if he thought America was a great country Ayers gave the following charming response: "[The notion] It makes me want to puke." It would be difficult to prove whether or not Obama was aware of the spread that Chicago Magazine gave Ayers, or if he has actually read it. But Obama and Ayers had long been friends and associates at the time of the article's publication and in August 2001 he and Ayers were working together for the Woods Fund. Therefore it stretches credulity to think that Ayers never mentioned the interview or its publication to Obama or that Obama never read it. If recent history is an indicator of future action, Obama will sort of denounce Ayers -- but only after details proving the depth and duration of his relationship with him become widespread and irrefutable. |

When the mainstream media could no longer ignore the Reverend Wright controversy and it exploded across America, Barack Obama first tried ending the controversy by saying that he wasn't aware of Wright's diatribes, even though he'd been a congregant at Wright's church for 20 years and considered Wright to be his mentor. When The Autonomist uncovered an old news article alleging that he had in fact been in Wright's church during at least one of Wright's rants, and other media outlets picked up on that revelation, Obama soon admitted that he had witnessed Wright's controversial sermonizing. He then tried to duck further controversy by saying this: "I can no more disown him [Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can When those remarks further fueled the Wright controversy, Obama said this: "I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Not really. . . but if I had heard my pastor make Wright-like comments in church, I'd have quickly found another church to attend. After Wright made his now infamous crazy race-theory comments in front of the national press, Obama sort of denounced his mentor and pastor of twenty years by saying this:
