By Tom Tancredo, The Washington Times
Eleven years ago, like every citizen elected to serve in Congress or any person appointed to any federal position, I swore an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.”
I’ve always thought it significant that the Founders included domestic enemies in that oath of office. They thought liberty was as much at risk from threats within our borders as from outside, and French political thinker and historian Alexis de Tocqueville agreed with that warning.
In the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the greatest threat to our nation was clear – and foreign. While Islamic terrorism still represents the greatest external threat to America and American lives, the avowed program of the Obama regime has changed the picture in a fundamental way.
For the first time in American history, we have a man in the White House who
consciously and brazenly disregards his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution. That’s why I say the greatest threat to our Constitution, our safety and our liberties, is internal. Our president is an enemy of our Constitution, and, as such, he is a danger to our safety, our security and our personal freedoms.
Barack Obama is one of the most powerful presidents this nation has seen in generations. He is powerful because he is supported by large majorities in Congress, but, more importantly, because he…

what havn't impeachment started on the muslim obama?
What good is the supreme court if they don t step in an protect the constitution since obama could care less H OGDEN
The Supreme Court of the United States is actively protecting the muslim in the White House.
Gadzooks! Does Obama OWN the Supreme Court, too?
and who is protecting obama???
We need a complete list, including HOME ADDRESSES and phone numbers, of ALL the protectors; then, we need to inform them in no uncertain terms that if they neglect their sworn duty for 24 more hours, they will be subject to such an intense prosecution that they WILL CRY OUT IN VAIN for the wrath of GOD to swallow them up instead.
Sign petitions, sign petitions, sign petitions, Thats all that seems to happens. When will all the petitions be acted upon???????????
I hope bery soon. I don't know if any congressperson has the guts to start. but please someone start. I have signed and donated so many times and yet nothing ever happens. How many signatures do you need????
I too, have signed and donated till I am signed and donated out! Nothing seems to ever come of these signings and donations. Besides, what good does it really do? Look at all the people who signed and sent petitions against the obamacare!
obama is a jacka$$…. Impeach him ASAP!! He hates America, white people, Jewish people, Isreal, in fact I think he even hates hiimself. The man is loathsome. We have got to rid our great country of him, the sooner, the better. Please someone begin the impeachment proceedings!
Don't you realize Congress has to impeach Obama. Our petitions go to members of Congress. They have to handle the impeachment. The best thing you could do is stop complaining and contact your Congressman and ask him what he is doing.
Here's impeachment described:
The impeachment process is a two-step procedure. The House of Representatives must first pass by a simple majority articles of impeachment, which constitute the formal allegation or allegations. Upon their passage, the defendant has been "impeached". Next, the Senate tries the accused. In the case of the impeachment of a president, the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the proceedings. For the impeachment of any other official, the Constitution is silent on who shall preside, suggesting that this role falls to the Senate's usual presiding officer. This may include the impeachment of the vice president, although legal theories suggest that allowing a defendant to be the judge in his own case would be a blatant conflict of interest. If the Vice President did not preside over an impeachment (of anyone besides the President), the duties would fall to the President pro tempore of the Senate.
and the rest:
To convict the accused, a two-thirds majority of the senators present is required. Conviction automatically removes the defendant from office. Following conviction, the Senate may vote to further punish the individual by barring him from holding future federal office, elected or appointed. Conviction by the Senate does not bar criminal prosecution. Even after an accused has left office, it is possible to impeach to disqualify the person from future office or from certain emoluments of his prior office (such as a pension). If there is no charge for which a two-thirds majority of the senators present vote "guilty", the defendant is acquitted and no punishment is imposed.
He needs to be arrested. Only a legitimate POTUS can be impeached. We the people should be storming Washington demanding his arrest.
Biden judging Biden? Well, if that's a conflict of interest, then I'm sure that the Barack Hussein Obama regime wouldn't have it any other way. Putting the fox in charge of the henhouse has been the cornerstone of their policy since Day Number Zero.
What do they mean " We have not been harmed" is it not a crimminal act to to run for President if you are not a U.S. citizen??? If he was born in the U S A, in any state by now someone would have leaked his birth certificate. HOW CAN HE SIT IN THAT OFFICE AND REFUSE TO PRODUCE IT???? It seems that he should be give 24 hours PRODUCE or be escorted OUT. COnstitutional RULE OF THUMB " NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" so why/ how is he still there??????????
THE PARTY SUING HIM SHOULD BE THE U. S..A.. of AMERICA, that is who he has harmed through fraud and deception!!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with our CONGRESS and our SENATE ?????????????? I have signed so many petitons my fingers are becoming deformed and still nothing happens??? What does it TAKE??????????
Congress and senate is right there with him a bunch of them are going to have to be impeached also, but it won't happen unless we change control in November. if we don't change control of our government in November we as a free people will be no more!!!
I have been able to sign a few petitions. since I don’t have alot of money well i am wondering how people are affording to send in pititions daily with a charge. And where is it getting us. who’s getting all the dollars and why should an american pay for this service
I started signing a couple of months backs. Then I also send FAX through NumbersUSA. They are free. Otherwise I could not do anything. I like yourself, Linda, am on a very limited income.
There is no way I could be donating $25.00 and up every time I am ask to send a FAX for them.
I have become very Frustrated as I keep seeing these long list of every illegal thing obama is doing and yet nothing seems to be happening. I am getting to the point of wondering if it is even worth the bother and upset.
Is there a red blooded American who has the guts to start impeachment proceedings against Obama, who has desecrated our Constitution, and embarrased the citizens of our great nation? Why has Congress allowed Obama to replace them with CZARS? Do the Obama supporters realize they voted not for a president but for a dictator?
Estell
May I ask why Obama has not been both impeached and brought up on charges of criminal activity? There is sufficient evidence to put him away for a long time. Seems to be a case of the barn door being locked after the horse ran away. All I read and hear is a lot of rhetoric, but yet no action. What will it take? We are just a few steps away from our dissolution as a free country. The only way we will take our country back is to rid ourselves of the traitors in the branches of Government. Obama, Biden (guilt by association), Pelosi, Reid, and then down through the rands of the House and Senate. We are long past the "talking" stages. Seventy-seven and disgusted.
Pelosi and Reid need to be locked up in an institution for the criminally INSANE! Has anyone actually listened to what these two idiots say? Like…with a little laugh, Pelosi says well, you have to pass the heathcare bill to see what is in it! And some of the things that comes out of Harry Reid’s mouth are just as crazy. Yet, obama, pelosi and reid keep getting away with destroying this country right under our noses! The petitions were all ignored by this bunch and in fact, I believe it just made them more determined to march right over the American people and what they wanted. Congress has to impeach obama and you know as well as I do, that the democratic congress is NOT going to do that. They protect their own! I think we need to throw some water on this wicked witch and watch her melt!!!!!
We need to present every member of Congress with "an offer they can't refuse": each and every one of them who makes an active effort contributing to the successful impeachment and ejection from office of Obama will be excused from the MASS TREASON TRIAL against THE ENTIRE CONGRESS. Each and every one of them who doesn't cooperate needs to LOVE EVERYTHING.
I meant, "LOSE EVERYTHING"! My typing skills need improvement.
High Crimes and Misdemeanors, an impeachable offense, is described as acts adversely effecting America, as well as the refusal to take actions for the benefit of the Republic. Obama has most certainly committed both, in my opinion. You need to send a letter to both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees ask
ask Obama “By what authority” his Department of Justice is suing her state and naming her as a defendant
and with that she (Gov Jan Brewer) can force him to prove/ show his birth certificate. What has she got to lose??? a Lt. Col. ask that and nothing has happened with him yet either. and that was over six months ago. I;m begining to think the whole dam goverment is in this with him. BECAUSE NOT A DAM ONE OF THEM WILL MAKE A MOVE. NOT EVEN THE U.S..ARMY…..NOBODY????????????
Then, it appears that the only person with the potential to bring a little sanity to this game is a well-armed, terminally-ill patriot who feels certain in his own heart that he's already condemned to Hell and has no hope of salvation; hence, no fear of anything or anyone, nothing to lose, and nothing to hold back.
It's about time someone actually began formal impeachment against this thug. We have the unions running this country now. Obama has broken every expectation of a president. He has been lucky to have a Democrat congress and now a bunch of communists in his czars and cabinet members. He can this nothing man ruin our country and get away with it.
I hope and pray that SOMEONE has the nuts to start the procedure of IMPEACHMENT!!! This evil entity is destroying us, and we can't survive another 2 years of this horrible Marxist Regime!
This Chicago thug has broken every expectation of a president. He should be impeached immediately before it is too late. (Maybe it already is) He has packed the cabinet and all of "czars" with communists and perverts. Get him out. NOW. It is about time.
I for one agree with you folks. That idiot who calls himself President is just an imposter in my eyes! As I’ve said many tomes, he reminds me of the movie The Great Pretender where a man pretended to be in many areas of businesses including a Doctor of medicine!
I will wrote to my Congressman and ask him about this for I’d like to see him impeached or him and his wife both imprisoned for she’s aware of what he’s doing and is as guilty as he is.
By his own Muslim standards, at least one part or another of his person, would be whacked off — preferably that pin head that holds the mouth that creates such damages. As for "not having standing because we have not been harmed" bulltoast! Count the numbers of man hours that we have all had to withstand severe discomfort, mental cruelty at the whim of congress and the pseudo president who threatens collapse of our country since 20 January 2010!! We all have standing and its time to cool it with the petitions and drag the guy into the street.
There is not a judge (much less a trial lawyer) in the land with the moral authority to decide whether or not we've "been harmed". It is our sole moral right and privilege to decide that for ourselves. How dare any black-robed charlatan even possess an opinion regarding our "standing"!
I didn't like the response Tom Tancredo got from Fox News today, either. Tom is right, Obama needs to be impeached. I think Obama disregards the Constitution, which he swore to uphold when he was sworn into office. Not allowing his birth certificate, medical records and school files to be revealed are suspicious. Why has he spent millions to keep them secret? I think he is a fraud. He isn't protecting our borders. His job is to protect this country and it's citizens. Weakening our defense is another "red flag." I don't think he loves this country or the people in it. He's a Socialist that doesn't believe in free enterprise. The sooner we get rid of him, the better, for this great nation of ours……..a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The impetus to bring impeachment action against Obama has to come from a high source that not even some local or court of appeals judge can dismiss. The evidence must be brought forward and certified, such as the lack of original birth certificate, witness or witnesses from the hospitals in Hawaii. Passports that he Obama used to travel when he was growing up. Witnesses from Kenya as to how long he lived there. Inerviews with school mates in Hawaii. Subpenas need to be served on college records and other pertinent documents. It is time for this to take place before he does additional damage to our country. We have too many sleepers in our Senate and Congress that are more interested on business as usual and making sure that they keep their jobs and not what is lawful according to our Constitution and the preservatioin of our other institutions. If he Obama is an imposter, or illegal president, it is very disturbing that he continues to have access to all of our most highly protected documents and resources as commander and chief.
At present that high official is Arizona's Governor Brewer. Because the state of Arizona is being sued by the federal government she could insist on asking under who's authority is this lawsuit issued. Therefore proclaiming that there is no evidence without the birth certificate that the President has the authority to sue the state of Arizona. We need to ask her for this action and support her in her fight.
A –!@#$%^&*()–MEN!
Nothing will happen re removing Obama et al unless/until someone(s) with the wherewithal considers Obama's intentional destruction of our country more important than the historic race riots which will immediate follow Obama's removal.
It is to this very item that I address my several-times-posted comment that the one kind of a person who can bring a moment of sanity to this game is a well-armed, terminally-ill patriot who believes in his heart that he is condemned to Hell and has no access to salvation. Such a person fears no (new or additional) consequences in this life or the next, has nothing to lose, and has no motive to hold back. Where the Hell is this desperately-needed person? Isn't there just one?
I can only pray this is true and we can finally get rid of a b ad bad bad seed
What I don't understand is (1) if obama is in his position illegally and it is mandatory to have proof that he is a natural born citizen then (2) why can't Congress or the Senate simple give him a dead line such as 24 hours to produce and if he does not then he should be arrested and removed from the White House…..end of story
Any other crime you can be arrested and have to prove your innocence, why not this one ???
In his opinion, he OWNS the law, and IS the law. Those who really ARE the law, he has apparently brainwashed. Until the American people make it incontrovertibly clear to these congressmen that WE have the power to make them trillions of times more miserable than Obama can, it's unlikely that he will be removed from office via impeachment, and that's sad beyond belief that this golden opportunity to summarily dismiss all of his official paper is being passed by.
The First Amendment –
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This is a total disgrace that Obama is still sitting in our White House. He should be "railroaded" out of DC immediately. What are we waiting for?
""railroaded" out of DC "??? He should be tried and convicted of being a traitor. Anyone who aided and abetted him should have the same fate!!! Traitor in a time of WAR gets the firing squad. NOTHING LESS!!! What we are waiting for is a member of congress to HAVE A DAMN SPINE!!! I know who I'm NOT voting for in the midterms, DO YOU!!!
Marye I'm not yelling at you, just the bunch of fools who voted that traitor into office. Let the SS knock on my door. I'm proud of my opinion and have a right to express it!!! Obama is trying to strip us of OUR rights, one by one.
Let me propose a little change to the methodology of the firing squad. Line ALL the traitors up belly to back, belly to back, and belly to back, and then take ALL of them out with a single slug. In these hard times, efficiency rules!
The Oath of Office is inextricably tied to the Second Amendment: the freedom to bear arms enables a free people to fight off internal tyranny, as well as resist external threats.
The full implication of that Oath is that — IFF they perceive the Constitution as being very seriously indeed threatened by domestic enemies — those who took it should arm themselves and march on Washington to overthrow the present regime and reestablish the rule of law, with the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land.
PS:
Dear Secret Service/NSA/HS
I was not suggesting or promoting violent overthrow of the present regime, only making a legal, logical, historical argument.
I liked your first comment. Whoever would ask you to apologize for being right just might be the enemy. Just once before I turn to dust, I desperately want to tell some judge who is wrong and who is threatening me with allegations of "contempt of court", "Damn right! I am SATURATED WITH CONTEMPT FOR YOUR !@#$ COURT, AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!"
Visualize impeachment. This phony idiot has no business leading our once great country. We need to impeach him, pelosi, reid et. al that knew he was ineligible to run…We need to take back all their assets stolen from the taxpayers, repeal all the crap they have generated, get rid of all the kenyan's czars, appointees, and cabinets and establish term limits for the idiots in congress….cut their salaries to 40k, take away perks and they get the same health crap we do….Drain the swamp….pelosi, reid, obama being the sewer of it all!!!
I couldn't have said it any better, and there isn't anything I could add to it. I live in NV, and the Lord willing we will be able to take Reid out this fall. This is one person, who being an American citizen, should hold his head in shame for what he has done to this country.
Imagine what WILL happen if the first black POTUS in history is removed from office. Race riots the likes of which have never been seen. We'd have our great country back.
Too bad, it's time to face it with honesty. They have been harboring true racism forever.We allow them organizations to strengthen them. If they don't like their existence, load the boats and send them back where they had it so good.
We need to do, what we need to do.
he's the first BIRACIAL Prez. – just as white as he is black
An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message.
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,
Now 7.65% on the first $90,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month —
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away' — you may be interested in the following:
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— –
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country,
and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party
gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
———— — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ———
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so.
But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.
AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!
In order to accomplish ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
1) IMPLEMENT Term Limits
2) CASTRATE the Power of Money in Elections
3) Achieve government BY THE PEOPLE, as opposed to "by their so-called representatives"
4) Cause POLITICAL PARTIES TO BECOME FOREVER EXTINCT, AS THEY DESPERATELY DESERVE,
Instead of having elections, just pick the names out of a hat. The names in the hat are not to include anyone who has ever served before, nor any present or past felon, nor anyone who is not currently employed in a real job. Also, considering that the TERM LIMIT is ONE TERM, THEY DON'T NEED A RETIREMENT PROGRAM AT ALL.
Not a big deal Holly, but it's NAIVE, now you know!!
Megyn usually knows what she's talking about in legalize, I hardly expect she is naive!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tom Tancredo! It's high time someone with integrity stand up and speak the truth!!! Remember November, patriots. Time to hold the Usurper to the fire.
Up until this time, I never thought I would ever request a DELAY in "holding him to the fire"; nevertheless, I would say let's close the burn rooms of all the hospitals within a thousand miles of the place where Obama is to be "held to the fire" (for "renovation", of course!), and THEN hold him to the fire.
It seems to me that Tancredo's main point is that since every person serving in Congress has sworn the oath to defend the Constitution (but is clearly ignoring that mandate), it then logically follows that each and every one of them who isn't bringing forward articles of impeachment (THAT WOULD BE EVERY ONE OF THEM) is himself impeachable for precisely that reason. I think we need to apply INFINITE PRESSURE to THIS POINT. We need to demand it of each and every person serving in Congress that he (or she) IMMEDIATELY GET ON THE TRAIN, OR EXPECT TO BE PLACED DIRECTLY UNDER ITS WHEELS. They (especially the Democrats among them) should be forced to understand that this is an ultimatum WHICH SURELY SHALL COME TO PASS IN NOVEMBER. IMPEACH NOW, OR GET SQUISHED LIKE A BUG IN NOVEMBER. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
The Constitution also explicitly forbids the bestowal of titles of nobility within our nation. "CZAR" IS a TITLE OF NOBILITY. To ADD INSULT TO INJURY, it's a RUSSIAN title of nobility. I would have to admit that history got a little twisted here. In Russia, the COMMUNISTS overthrew the CZARS. Apparently we in America are even more degenerate: here, THE Communist (you certainly know who that is!!!) APPOINTS the czars! What's up with THAT?
Morally, NO JUDGE WHATSOEVER has any SO-CALLED "STANDING" to DICTATE to THE LEAST AMONG US whether or not he has been "HARMED" by this phony "President". It is OUR JOB to TELL ANY AND ALL JUDGES that WE HAVE BEEN HARMED. HOW DARE THEY PRESUME IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND? They neither know nor care how or if we have been harmed. They are nothing more and nothing less than STOOGES.
The following is a petition that was submitted to Congress to start the impeachment process of G. W. Bush…now we can fill in the current deviant with his wrong doings following this form.
To: US Congress and Senate
This is a petition that will be submitted to Congress to start the impeachment process for acting president, George Walker Bush. Due to severe complications of financial wrong doing by the president and his roles in Harken Energy, Enron, Arbusto Oil, Aloha, and Brown & Root, this person has proved more than once that he has betrayed the laws of United States and has violated the trust of the American People.
Since Harvey Pitt, director of the SEC and Bush appointee, will not release papers on Harken Energy to the public so that the American People can seek full disclosure about the president's wrong doings, We, as legal and law abiding citizens of the United States, are moving forward to start the process of impeachment against George Walker Bush.
Also, the president has abused his executive priveledges by appointing aides into key positions, for which most of those aides have clear conflicts of interest. He has introduced laws that would have given companies, including Enron, millions of dollars of taxpayer funds. Several companies involved with the president and vice-president are making millions off the 'war on terror'. He has also used pictures from 9/11 for personal and political gain, once again violating the public trust.
It is obvious that Bush has used his powers not to benefit the American People, but to enhance financial and corporate gain. The president has failed to address these issues and has illegally blocked public discourse, so given his stance, we are moving to have him removed from the Office of President of the United States. This petition does not detail his attempts to violate personal freedom and the US Constitution, but it is the opinion of the author that these issues need to be addressed as well.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
This is the most creative and the most passive aggressive way to say, "B-b-b-but Bush did it, too!" that I've ever read or heard. For your creativity and passive aggression (aka chickenshit), you get an A+.
Citizens can not impeach a sitting POTUS. Only Congress may do that, as per the Constitution. So, for civics, your grade is an F.
During the final two years of Bush's presidency, Demonrats held the majority in Congress. That they didn't even attempt to impeach Bush, not even after libturds cried for his impeachment since his first term, and not even with the lamestream media obviously biased against Bush and using their reach to sway public opinion against Bush, indicates that Bush committed no offense(s) that could be used as cause for impeachment. So, in Recent Political Events and Using Logic, you receive a grade of F in each.
Estell, Only, ONLY the Senate gets to impeach the president, and Only the House gets to try to case. So, since he has all his compatriot bedfellows in the House and Senate, it will be a real stretch to find enough brave, honest Senators or Reps to actually initiate the proceedings. None of us has the authority, and that is the ONE flaw in our otherwise GREAT Constitution! Oh, BTW, once B.O. can get an uprising going here in the USA, he can declare martial law, then it is all over for us. So, don't rise up! -if you have a plan, do it lawfully. Talk to the Senators and the Reps. Write to every last one of them!
Yes! Especially those of them who are Democrats, and we mustn't limit our mailings to just our own representatives and senators. Each and every one of them needs to be reminded several times during each breath they take, by millions of Americans across the entire country, that it's their sworn duty to protect and defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. According to the terms of their oath alone, there is not a single one among them who shouldn't be impeached and succussfully removed from office for dereliction of duty. If there were not a single one among them who hadn't been reminded of this by every voter in the entire nation, they would HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LISTEN. These slime WORK FOR US; they vote themselves pay raises without our approval, and they have contempt for us (example: they voted in Obamacare). It is altogether fitting that they should be living in fear. The lack of an active drive for impeachment is irrefutable evidence that not one among them gives a damn about the oath, the Constitution, the continuing viability of our nation, or US.
The Democrats are depressed about their collapsing poll numbers, so it's time to start calling conservatives "racist."
As we now know from the Journolist list-serv, where hundreds of liberal journalists chat with one another, and which was leaked to Daily Caller this week, journalists cry "racism" whenever they need to distract from bad news for Obama. (Ironically, this story did not make headlines.)
When the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal broke during the 2008 campaign, the first response of Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent was to demand that they start randomly picking conservatives — "Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists."
There is no honor whatsoever in anyone who plays the race card.
Fight Organized Crime, Do NOT re-elect them!
A Real Eye Opener …
WHY is the USA BANKRUPT?
Informative, and mind boggling!
You think the war in Iraq was costing us too much? Read this:
We have been hammered with the propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I also have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts…
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 Billion dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries.. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the US from the Southern border.
12. The National policy Institute estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.
13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances to their countries of origin.
14.The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States .
The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY; IT IS $338,300,000,000.00 WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.
Are we THAT stupid? YES, FOR LETTING THOSE IN THE U.S.CONGRESS GET AWAY WITH LETTING THIS HAPPEN YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!!
I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY, RAYMOND!!!!!!!!!!!!
The facts are compelling.
This is what happens when the LEFT runs the show!!! Tax and spend tax and spend tax and spend tax and spend tax and spend tax and spend . VOTE THEM OUT THIS NOVEMBER!!! Then, KEEP THEM OUT!!! Left wing democrats cost US too much and get NOTHING done!!! Carter, Clinton, Obama, need I say more? We'd rather have Regan and the Bush family than this over spending bunch of idiots!!! If I have to spend within my income limits, what makes the current members of congress special enough to not spend within their limits??? Just print more funny money, that fixes everything! NOT!!!
If I managed my finances like the government manages theirs, I'd be in prison right now.
Right! You're not allowed to compete with the government. Furthermore, we're pretty much forbidden to do anything that works at all. THIS IS WHAT GOD INVENTED DISOBEDIENCE FOR.
I think the legal action against AZ is proof he needs to be impeached. I thought that there had to be proof of place of birth to be president, his avoidance of that indicates there is something to hide.
His efforts to make the USA A SOCIALIST NATION is reason enough impeach him. Wanting to make all mexicans here legal shows more effort to rule everyone, the health bill is for control, taking over banks shows desire to control other companies, His actions show he should be in prison as a traitor. His preference to unions, no union ever created a job but they have destroyed many firms and raised the cost of living.
Exhausted and ill from the effort of enacting the Obama healthcare plan, an elderly Senator goes to the doctor. Doctor says, "I have bad news, good news, and bad news, Senator. The bad news is that you only have six months to live. But the good news is that there’s an operation that is 100% successful in curing this illness." "That sounds great, Doctor," says the Senator, "but what’s the other bad news?" The Doctor replies, "The Department of Health and Human Services says the first available slot is seven months from today."
IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SHOULD CHALENGE THE ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW. THE FLAW IN THEIR LAW IS THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE SAID THE SECURITY FORCES COULD ASK ANYONE FOR PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. THIS WAY NO SPECIFIC RACE OF PEOPLE WOULD BE PICKED OUT. LEGAL RESIDENTS HAVE DRIVERS LICENSES OR VOTER REGISTRATION CARDS OR SOCIAL SECURITY CARDS, MILITARY ID CARDS, OR SOME FORM OF IDENTIFICATION.
THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE OTHER 49 STATES WILL NOT GET OFF THEIR HIND ENDS AND PASS THEIR VERSION OF THE SAME IMMIGRATION LAW. IF ALL 50 STATES HAD THIS LAW ON THEIR BOOKS OBAMA'S MUSLIM ADMINISTRATION COULD NOT TAKE ALL 50 STATES TO COURT. ALL THE STATES COULD CALL A ONE DAY SPECIAL MEETING OF THEIR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES, WRITE A ONE PAGE LAW GIVING THE AUTHORITIES THE RIGHT TO DEMAND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP FROM ANYONE IN THEIR STATE, HAVE THE GOVERNORS SIGN THEM INTO LAW BY AUGUST 1ST, 2010. ANYONE NOT HAVING THIS PROOF WOULD BE ARRESTED AND HELD UNTIL THEY COULD SHOW PROOF AND IF THEY COULD NOT SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP THEN THEY WOULD BE DEPORTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Q. Why did Obama change his name from Barry to Barack?
A. He thought Barry sounded too American.
I TOO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE AGAINST THIS RADICAL PERSON! –HE ONLY HAS THE WORST IN STORE FOR AMERICA…….
Q. How many muslims does it take to change a roll of toilet paper?
A. What's toilet paper?
Carol Platt Lebow substituting for Hugh Hewitt on conservative talk radio Friday, July 23 absolutely kicked off the predictable compromise and calls for moderation preceding every Republican loss. She had nothing but the worse to say about Tom Tancredo. Picking apart our own is the formula for ending up with John McCain-like people on the ballot. Wars and games have never been won by moderation and stern chastising of friends. I am certain the World Cup wasn't won that way.
Carol even cut off a sweet old lady who was calling to reconsider Tom's arguments. Turn off Carol when you hear her she's too weak.
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. This is actually a paraphrase of a quotation from Barry Goldwater. I think I'll call him the "real Barry", so as to distinguish him from the "phony Barry", as is such distinguishment actually needed to be made. Of course, we've been dumbed down on a grand scale, so sadly some of these simplest things need to be explained over and over and over and over and over and over again. If it were up to me to set up an office and select people to serve in government, there would be a huge sign on the wall saying "RINO's need not apply", and one-worlders would be deported on whichever ships were determined to have the highest probability of sinking.
One more thought. Impeachment has been called for probably every president that there ever was. That fact alone sort of takes the strength out of the facts and makes people turn away. But just keep trudging on. Heck if we could only prove Barry Sotoro isn't a citizen we could cancel every signature he's ever put on public paper since 2008.
I want to see Obama utterly and completely humiliated for all time so that when his name is mention people will laugh. That is how far I want America to travel from that man's ideals and schemes. I want him to change citizenships and end up fleeing the United States for greener pastures. But I probably won't get it but that's how much I love America.
If it is ever decided to deport him to Kenya, I want to be there in person to inspect the boat. I want to make sure that it leaks just right, so that it will sink about 200 miles out of port.
Some of us actually DO petition our individual representatives!!! "Seems to me like the whole bunch of you are sleeping" is pure BS!!! I wonder how much of a "lip flapper" you are, Bob?!?!?! Do you know what it will cost, financially, to fly or drive from Portland Oregon to DC??? You pay, I'll go!!! Email and fax is all I can do. We do the best that we can with the tools we have at hand. SHUT UP and help US push congress to remove this fraud!!! Congress won't start unless they get pushed hard enough by THOSE OF US WHO VOTED THEM INTO OFFICE!!! Remember, we CAN vote them out also!!! The November mid-terms are coming up. Research your candidate(s) and make an educated vote. I do!!! How long does it take to compose a simple email or fax??? A lot less time than it took me to compose this reply, that's for sure.
This reply is directed at Matthew Levine from Portland, OR…..I'm from Oregon also and I did do my research on the Republican candidate (Huffman) who is running against Democrat Senator Ron Wyden. Huffman was in Sisters, OR 1 week ago for a town hall meeting in which I attended. I was able to ask him a very pointed question which is the following: If we were to elect you as our State Senator here in Oregon and if the opportunity presented itself where Obama was found guilty with Impeachable offenses and the opportunity arose for Congress to vote on Impeaching Obama…WOULD YOU MR. HUFFMAN VOTE YES TO IMPEACH OBAMA ??
(This e-mail is a reply to Matthew Levine) When I asked Huffman the question of Impeaching Obama he was reluctant to answer the question and he finally said "I would have to weigh the evidence first before I could answer the question with a yes or no. I then said "what more evidence do you need for there are tons of it !!!! I was extremely diappointed that this was the best that Oregon could come up with to run against Ron Wyden !!!! If you ask me Huffman was hand picked by the Obama regime after all he too is a Constitutional lawyer just like Obama and he just happened to go the same law school as Obama at the University of Chicago Law School. My opinion of him is that he is just another RINO !!!
What do your liberal friends who voted for Obuma say now? Are they sorry? probably not. You see many of the liberals take or use too drugs and the ones that do not, were raised by parents who either took too many drugs or went to college to get brainwashed. Our schools and colleges are and have been taken over by the fascists.
I agree with Dennis’ comments, Pelosi and Reid were in the House in 2006, when the Republicans lost many seats, and the Democrats then paved the way for Obuma. They are not only socialist, they are traitors to the American people. Obuma, Pelossi, Reid, and other corrupt demoncrats need to go, hopefully, we can send them to prison for corruption and ethics violations.
If these rotten demoncrat gangsters would care about the US Constitution, Obuma would already be gone.
I'd love to see him gone.. far away…. but…will impeachement get him out of office? Clinton stayed after his impeachment! Could this happen again with Obama? And if it dd get rid of him, then we'd have the Biden/Pelosi team. Idiots both!
But what would happen if Obama were proven unqualifed to serve due to the fact that he wasn't a citizen? Would that disqualify him and his whole administration? Could we luck out and get rid of him, his destructiove duo following him, and all the laws he's passed while in office? Would be my choice, if we get to choose! Really don't want his Health Care Bill and the Financial Bill and all the other things he has slid in in the dark of night! Do you trust that a Republican Senate, Congress and President woud rid us of these things?
Even if an impeachment at this time proves to be unsuccessful, it would at least have the benefit of providing a sufficient distraction to slow down Obama's mischief, which in turn would slow down his rate of damaging our country. In the mean time, we would be able to elect enough impeachment-minded new representatives and senators to succeed with impeachment on a second try.
Men or mice? Mice, yes. Castrated and anesthetized mice owned outright by the Regime. My greatest hope and prayer is that every one of them will read these comments that I PROUDLY SIGN MY REAL NAME TO, and will become so angry that proving me wrong immediately becomes a higher priority to them than inhaling their very next breath.

Dear “Chosen” Activists:
Today, 7/14/10, is Bastille Day in France, for Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and their Revolution.
Tragically, Obama has violated his oath of office to protect and defend America from foreign and domestic enemies, with his total committment to everything Islam and to those committed to “Death to Israel” and “Death to America”, resulting in 11 domestic terrorist events just in the U.S. in 2009.
He has appointed every political incompetent and hack who backs this Jihadist president and his Jihadist agenda.
America and Israel are in great danger as a result of this betrayal and treachery and where anyone who dares to expose this fraud is labeled a ‘racist’, etc.
In spite of the pro-Obama/Muslim media, 60% of Americans are not buying Obama any longer.
Below are two vital articles demanding your attention and explanation as phase one of this ‘impeachment’ which I am pursuing as an ‘independent’ candidate for Congress, Dist. 20, and against Rep. Debbi Wasserman Schultz (Schmutz), Obma’s #1 lap dog and mouth piece, who told the Jews we could trust Obama on Israel and it was all lies from both of them.
What kind of Jew would divide Jerusalem, Jewish for 3000 yrs. and millions of Jews were murdered for? SCHULTZ of course.
What kind of Jew would remain silent when Obama equated in Cairo, in 2009, that the “Holocaust” was equal to “Muslim Humiliation”? SCHULTZ of course.
What kind of Jew would allow Obama to attack Israel for protecting the buriel place of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives, as a ‘provocation” to the Muslims, when Abraham the first Jew and our forefather,bought his burial place which is 3000 yrs. older than Islam? SCHULTZ of course.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is that kind of sell-out Jew on this and a host of other outrageous attacks upon Israel and our faith…. by this career politician, who wants to be Nancy Pelosi’s replacement and Schultz keeps plugging for Obama who should be held ‘criminally negligent’ for the Gulf Oil catastrophe, now in day 86, who could care less about this issue, when he was and is so busy trying to divide and conquer Israel, instead of how to save America, whether in jobs, security, environment and a host of other failures jeapordizing America’s survival and thrival.
Today, this Jew, Kunst, led our 311th rally, since Oct. 2007 and 1205 news interviews, inside Century Village and also on Pine Rd. at entrance to Century Village,in Pembroke Pines, to Keep Jerusalem and Israel United and to Fight terrorism and the Islamic Nazis, Obama supports.
Do you understand that there are 3 republicans running against Schmutz, who are very weak and can’t beat Schultz, but I can as an ‘activist Jew’, not a politician, registered Democrat, but running as an independent in the November election. Is the issue to save the GOP going nowhere in this district or to defeat Obama and Schmutz?
Can you imagine the impact of defeating Obama and his #1, on Congress and cleaning out the ‘schmutz’? That is all the bad people in Congress that now only has 11% support from grassroots America. Besides committing myself to immediately begin ‘impeachment’ proceedings against Obama, I also plan to organize weekly rallies at the White House on all of his outrageous betrayals to the American people on every level, plus all of America’s allies he is endangering as well as America.
This is a national campaign and referendum on Obama and also direction for Bibi Netayahu and each of you who cares for and loves America and Israel, if you just committed $25 or more, we can win this, because the only negative is that folks don’t know that I’m running and Schmutz is not well liked, even in this bastion of liberalism.
So the decision is yours. Keep silent and allow the same menaces to grow and consume Israel and America and the West, or fight back through http://www.kunstforcongress.com and use me to send this message nationally and internationally.
Empower yourselves and help me to help you, Israel, Jerusalem, America and all of our efforts to get this great nation back on track for our own survival.

Supreme Court Upholds Material Support Law #Title18 #Hamas #912 #tcot #dnc #gop

IPT News June 21, 2010
Department of Justice won a major victory Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the “material support” statute. In a 6-3 opinion announced by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court held that the Constitution does not preclude the government from criminalizing speech and other forms of advocacy in support of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO), even if the intent is to support the group’s “peaceful or humanitarian” efforts.
Under U.S. law, it is a crime for any person to provide “material support or resources” to a designated FTO. Known as the “material support” law, 18 U.S.C. § 2339B has become a cornerstone in U.S. counter-terrorism efforts. Since 2001, the U.S. has charged approximately 150 defendants with violations of the statute, and to date approximately 75 people have been convicted.
The statute defines “material support or resources” as:
“any property, tangible or intangible, or service, including currency or monetary instrument or financial securities, financial services, lodging, training, expert advice or assistance, safe houses, false documentation or identification, communications equipment, facilities, weapons, lethal substances, explosives, personnel (1 or more individuals who may be or include oneself), and transportation, except medicine or religious materials” (emphasis added).
The Court began by rejecting the argument that the statute was violated the Fifth Amendment because it was unclear to an ordinary person what type of activity was actually prohibited. Explaining that “perfect clarity and precise guidance have never been required,” the majority found the statute was sufficiently clear in what conduct was proscribed:
“Of course the scope of the material-support statute may not be clear in every application. But the dispositive point here is that the statutory terms are clear in their application to plaintiffs’ proposed conduct, which means that plaintiffs’ vagueness challenge must fail.”
Next, the Court rejected the claims that the law violated free speech and free association guarantees in the First Amendment. Those challenging the statute sought to provide non-violent resources to support the humanitarian and peaceful efforts of terrorist organizations. The Court found that not only was there no distinction between the violent and non-violent wings of terrorist groups, but that terrorist groups benefit from any support given to them.
The case on appeal involved groups and individuals who wanted to support the humanitarian and political activities of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)—groups that were designated as FTOs in 1997.
Hoping to continue supporting the PKK and LTTE, the petitioners challenged the law, aiming to have it struck down as unconstitutional. As they explained in their opening brief to the court, “plaintiffs here seek only to safeguard their right to promote lawful, nonviolent activities through pure speech,” and the statute violated their First and Fifth Amendment rights by preventing them from doing so.
Rejecting each of the challenges, the Court conceded that the PKK and the LTTE may engage in political and humanitarian activities. But overwhelming evidence also showed that both groups have committed numerous acts of terrorism, some of which have harmed Americans. In light of the dual-use qualities of terrorist organizations, the Court went on:
“Whether foreign terrorist organizations meaningfully segregate support of their legitimate activities from support of terrorism is an empirical question. When it enacted section 2339B in 1996, Congress made specific findings regarding the serious threat posed by international terrorism. One of those findings explicitly rejects plaintiffs’ contention that their support would not further the terrorist activities of the PKK and LTTE: ‘Foreign organizations that engage in terrorist activity are so tainted by their criminal conduct that any contribution to such an organization facilitates that conduct.’”
Recognizing that any aid given to a terrorist group supports that group, the Court next turned to whether or not it would be permissible to give non-violent aid to promote the peaceful activities of a terrorist group.
Prior to Monday’s ruling, critics of the statute had argued that people should be able to provide aid to promote the non-violent activities of terrorist groups. As one amicus explained in supporting the challenge to the law:
“Unlike money or weapons, information is not fungible. Learning about non-violent alternatives does not enhance the ability to make bombs; nor does communication with a researchers or journalist who seeks to expand the store of public information about a group.”
Such arguments were embraced by civil liberties groups who argued, among other things that:
“Allowing charities to provide humanitarian aid to individuals trapped in conflict zones in the Middle East and Central Asia, for example, would go a long way towards countering negative perceptions of America….Requiring a showing of specific intent to support illegal act prevents squandering limited prosecutorial resources on pro-peace charities such as the Humanitarian Law Project.”
That argument held some sway with a number of Justices. The three Justices dissenting, led by Justice Stephen Breyer, believed that in order to hold somebody liable for violating the statute, there must be a finding that the defendant intended one’s support to benefit the violent aims of a terrorist group.
This point was roundly rejected by the majority. Discussing how humanitarian aid assists terrorist groups by legitimizing them during arguments in February, Justice Roberts argued:
“A group that the government could reasonably determine should not be supported in any way…because it legitimizes it. It’s going to make their hospital run better. People are going to like their hospital. So the party, the group, will be legitimized.”
Similarly, Justice Antonin Scalia commented:
“The theory of the legislation is that when you aid any of their enterprises, you’re aiding the organization. Hamas, for example, gained support among—among the Palestinians by activities that are perfectly lawful, perhaps running hospitals, all sorts of things.”
Solicitor General Elena Kagan, now the President’s nominee to join the Supreme Court, provided perhaps the best elucidation of this argument, explaining:
“Hezbollah builds bombs. Hezbollah also builds homes. What Congress decided was when you help Hezbollah build homes, you are also helping Hezbollah build bombs.”
The court roundly rejected the claims that there’s a distinction between aid to a terrorist group’s “social” wing, as opposed to its military wing. The ruling echoed Kagan’s arguments:
“Material support meant to ‘promote peaceable, lawful conduct’ can further terrorism by foreign groups in multiple ways. Material support is a valuable resource by definition. Such support frees up other resources within the organization that may be put to violent ends. It also importantly helps lend legitimacy to foreign terrorist groups—legitimacy that makes it easier for those groups to persist, to recruit members, and to raise funds—all of which facilitate more terrorist attacks.”
Broader Implications for Legal War on Terror
The Court was careful to explain that the ruling was limited to the immediate facts of the case. Justice Roberts pointed out early in the decision that “the Court does not decide whether any future applications of the material-support statute to speech or advocacy will survive First Amendment scrutiny,” but only that it was acceptable in the case of Humanitarian Law Project.
Despite this warning, the opinion should end any future arguments that individuals can give non-violent support to promote the “peaceful or humanitarian efforts” to international terrorist groups. Among the cases which Monday’s decision could affect is Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. Evidence in that case proved that millions of dollars from the Texas-based charity went to Palestinian entities controlled by the terrorist group Hamas. The defense argued that, regardless of who handled the money, it was sent to help feed and provide medical care to needy Palestinians.
With this decision, the government can continue to crack down on the support structure for terrorist organizations that is being uncovered on a routine basis in the United States.

THE CAREFULLY SCRIPTED TV INTERVIEWS OF OBAMA VS. NETANYAHU
by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator
Personally, I saw no genuine friendliness in the contrived TV interviews between President Barack Hussein Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu. Their facial expressions, their body language and finally, their words of compatibility were empty of meaning.
Trusting Obama is not exactly what an intended victim should do.
Granted, we were not privy to the real conversations but, I suspect that Obama dictated terms and Netanyahu tried to agree without increasing the rage Obama feels toward the Jewish Nation/State.
Obama needed that public sham of saying Israel will always be America’s ally and friend. The major “sound-bytes”: “America and Israel bonds are unbreakable” and “Israel will always be America’s ally and friend” were necessary for Obama’s upcoming mid-term election campaign to keep his hold on a Democratic-dominated Congress.
Those vacuous statements simply meant that he would play the political game of encouraging Israel and the Christian Zionist voters to ignore his pro-Arab stance in time to win control of the Congress in November.
A great deal of what really went on in private will show up in what Netanyahu actually does. Will Bibi keep his word that the freeze on housing construction will end, as scheduled, in September? Or will he cook up some political double-talk to justify extending the halt of construction in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem?
I personally think he will cave and further confirm that he has a flexible rubber spine.
Will Bibi pretend to himself that direct talks with Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) will not result in a Palestinian State with a confederation of Fatah and Hamas? Bibi will put into any agreement some useless unenforceable terms, such as the Palestinian entity will be disarmed and perhaps guarded by NATO or the UN as was done in Lebanon.
(Note! That false and failed plan was accepted by Tzippi Livni, head of Kadima with assistance of Ehud Barak, head of Labor, long known as a Leftist plant for the U.S. State Department.)
I personally think that Obama will plunge ahead in tying America to Islam until one of the Jihadist sleeper Muslims blows up an American city (G-d forbid). Then Obama will be impeached and the President’s men, aka advisors, Czars, Czarinas, Islamic fellow travelers in America’s Intel Agencies and Centcom (Central Command of the Middle East) will end up in Federal Prison just like Richard Nixon’s collaborators.
Can anyone trust Obama on any matter? Generally not, although he lies with convincing elegance as to be expected of a sophist who can jump to any side of an issue and argue cunningly. However, when it come to the Jewish Nation/State of Israel Obama’s bias is consistent.
Can Muslims trust Obama? Yes and no. If what Obama has done against the Jews and Israel in deference to Islam appeals to Muslims, they should be delighted with a “friend” in the White House – for now.
On the other hand, most virulent jihadists would still view “Christian” Obama as an apostate who left Islam and, therefore, he is subject to Shari’a law and, you know what that means. (An apostate is considered a traitor to Islam and subject to a “fatwa” to be murdered.)
However, some Muslims believe Obama is in alignment with Koranic Law which teaches that a Muslim can act as an agent for Islam and lie to the “infidel” (non-Muslim).
Presently, many indicators are surfacing that speaks to Obama’s alliance with Islam. We just heard (July 9th) that Obama instructed Charles Bolden, the head of NASA to reach out to Muslim dominated countries and help them “feel good” about their contribution to science, math and engineering.
Presumably, that would include bringing Muslims into NASA’s technology of building and launching space-capable rockets or, otherwise, learn technology to be used for missiles.
Let us recall that on March 2, 2009 Obama – through his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, pledged $900 million dollars to Muslim Arab Palestinians, claiming none of it would go to Hamas.
Also (while America is drowning in $13 trillion of debt) on June 10th Obama offered a new package of $400 million to Muslim Arab Palestinians in Gaza – which is controlled by Hamas.
Look at the proposal that was put forth April 17, 2009 by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. It states that Israel would receive “normal relations” with the Arab world in exchange for a full withdrawal from the entire Gaza Strip, West Bank, Golan Heights and eastern Jerusalem – a full withdrawal to the 1949 Armistice Lines. Obama pledges a State to the Palestinian leader.
Also, we recently learned that Obama ordered Centcom (Central Command of the Middle East) to collaborate with Palestinian and the Arab Muslim nations to force Israel to abandon Judea, Samaria and Samaria so a Palestinian State could be invented with Jerusalem as its capital.
Are you getting the feeling that the meeting between Obama and Netanyahu was merely a public relations event but, in reality, Netanyahu was threatened to quietly go along with Obama’s Islamic plans for the region? Or else?!
To conclude: Obama has consistently refused to actually stop Iran’s development of Nuclear Weapons and, instead, used a policy of “outreach” to build friendship with Iran and Syria – even as they supplied the Terrorists to kill American soldiers.
Clearly, Obama will be a one-term President unless Congress impeaches him before 2012.
###
Once again we the public are told of a problem.This problem here, as stated by Mr.Tancreado,is internal.We, the public are very much aware,or at least we should be,of what type of person Obama has proven himself to be.We have the stories,the emails,the news media,more importantly we have the facts of this situation.Now with all this being said "WE KNOW" all this,The more important question is what are we gonna do about it?In a football game if you drop the ball,you try to recover it.In a baseball game,you have three chances to either score or prevent from scoring.Are the United States citizens ready to be what we claim to be"UNITED"? If so then stop talking about the problem and solve it.No good comes out of talk.United States needs to put legs on their words and get somewhere with this issue.Are we complainers with no backbone or are we willing to stand like REAL MEN and take action about this.Myself I dont play poker because I do not BLUFF.United States Of America "Stand For Something Or You Will Fall For Anything" Steve GOD BLESS !!!!!
The new judgment from the Supreme Court in the matter of "material support" stands on the horns of a dilemma. As it is indisputably the case that Obama is the most conspicuous violater in the land, he needs to be charged, convicted and punished in a truly meaningful way; otherwise, the sign will be "out there" that the ruling can be ignored with impunity. On the other hand, at the cost of having to fight an uphill battle against the Obama Machine, the charges could be aggressively prosecuted, and in the end there would be the prospect of two very desirable outcomes: 1) Obama incarcerated; and 2) respect restored to the Supreme Court.
