Really, really stupid.
(Note to the GOP: your "core constituents" are blantant racists. This is why you lost the election. Even voters who are secretly racist don't want to be associated with you, because now you represent shouting-terrorist-at-rallies-and-calling-innocent-camermen-n****r-racists. nobody likes to be associated with that.)
Here is an article called: The Day My Country Died.
Which leads me to the question: are we in heaven now, or hell? It's not great, so it's not heaven, but it's not any worse than before, so it's not hell . . . the Catholics were right! We're in purgatory! Welcome to the next 10 million years of your existence.
I write this letter with a heart heavy beyond words. I am almost half a century old and have cried for my country only twice in my life. The first time was during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. The second time was on Nov. 4, 2008, when Hussein Obama won the presidential election. Of those two times, the latter was by far more disturbing and depressing. It will also prove to be more damaging to America. In this instance, "Hussein Obama" becomes racist, because Obama calls himself firstname followed by lastname: Barack Obama. Trent Reznor, on the other hand, calls himself middlename followed by lastname. His first name is Michael. In this case, however, we are emphasizing the evil, MUSLIMTERRORIST! name, which makes this racist.
A black MUSLIMTERRORIST man elected president is worse than the thousands of deaths of September 11? That's just offensive to everything: the truth, history, logic, brains, blacks, muslims, me. Firemen and policemen lost their lives desperately trying to save those trapped in the buildings. Innocent travelers sacrificed their lives to save the White House. I watched, on live television, people throw themselves out of windows to escape being burned alive. Tears are now rolling down my cheeks as I remember one couple holding hands as they fell the hundreds of feet to the concrete.
They lost touch a few feet above the ground. I hope they weren't as afraid at the end of that fall as I was watching it. I hope their love gave them some comfort at the end.
My tears to turn to rage as I reread this man comparing Obama's presidency to that.
You racist fuck.
100 racism points.
I cast my vote for the Constitution Party that morning, went to work and then came home praying that perhaps Obama would not win. I am not one who is deluded by the false argument of voting for the lesser of two evils, hence my vote for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party. However, that does not mean I did not understand clearly that while McCain would be bad for the country, Obama would be far worse. So, you stupid racist fuck, you cast a vote you knew wouldn't do any good, out of some ridiculous principle that "i'm not voting the way you want me to" and now you want to complain? Do you get how this works?
So, I decided to attend a concert in downtown Chicago to get my mind off the election. By the time I left for the concert, the writing was on the wall. Obama was far ahead in several battleground states. I reasoned that since even the bravest soldier will tend to shut his eyes if only for a moment to block out the horrors of war, surely no one would blame me for closing my mind for an hour or two against the horrors of the election reality. Indeed, the lead singer of the band admonished us to let go of everything else, forget our worries and the election specifically, and just enjoy ourselves for that short time. I tried to block it out, but my mind kept wandering to the mythological story of Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Indeed, I sent a text message (tinged with guilt) to a good friend after the concert, saying, "I was attending a concert while my country died."
That sound you hear is my brain screaming as it tries to die. You are comparing a soldier- closing his eyes to shut out the blood, the broken bodies, some of them too small to be anything but children, the flames and the pain- to going to a concert on election day? Just drink that in for a moment.
now, now, take the fork away from your eyes.
BTW, Nero was crazy. The apocryphal story of Nero fiddling while Rome burned wasn't a story about enjoying yourself while others suffer, it was a story about a crazy guy unable to understand the suffering of others. Although, you may have inadvertantly made my point for me with this one. Good job.
The Obama rally was still in full swing not far from the concert hall, and yet there was an uneasy, unnatural quiet in the air. It was a feeling similar to that which comes after a death, or after a tragedy or carnage.
Yes, people, especially black people, on the verge of triumph, on the verge of throwing off the shackles of hatred and achieving the preacher's dream, are just like death and unnatural tragedy. Just like that.
It was as if the world had changed in those two hours while I was secluded in the concert hall. It no longer felt like America. It was like being in a foreign country where people have different values, different perceptions, different lifestyles. I felt alien for the first time in my life. I felt nothing but anger, disappointment and contempt for so many of my fellow Americans who voted for and elected a socialist enigma for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend.
A foreign country with different values, perceptions and lifestyles. Yes, people from other countries do have different perceptions and lifestyles. It's one of the joys of life that everyone is not the same. Values, though? I think not. In the end, all of us, white, black, jewish, christian, muslim, atheist, have the same values. We all just want to get by. We all eat and drink and sleep. We all love our children. Not to this guy. To this ignorant, racist fuck, muslims might as well be aliens from another galaxy, inscrutable, unknowable, enigmas.
I'm not addressing "socialist" or "enigma". Or maybe I am. All government is socialist to some degree. The definition of socialism is to take money from some people and give it to others. This is exactly what all governments do. I pay taxes. Those taxes go to build schools, maintain roads and fund programs, all of which I may never use. This concept is called "the greater good". Though I don't have kids, and therefore get nothing out of funding schools, I understand that an educated populace is good, and benefits me, if indirectly. Apparently, this asshole doesn't care if the average citizen can read. I have to say, if I were writing this kind of racist bullshit, I wouldn't want people to be able to read, either.
"Enigma"? Obama was on the campaign trail for almost 2 years. I know stuff about his childhood I have no business knowing. Heck, at this point, I think I know Obama better than I know my best friend. That's like calling Paris Hilton, whom I can watch having sex any time I want, a mystery.
The Republican Party was so relaxed and laid back about the whole affair (despite all the under-reported fraud issues on the other side) and rolled over so easily that it was as if they were accomplices in this sin against God and country. I actually felt physically nauseated. I felt much the same as I have in recent years immediately following the death of beloved family members, only this time I was mourning an entire country and way of life, as well as my own faith in our system.
If constant negative campaigning is relaxed, what would this guy call an effort? If calling Obama a MUSLIMTERRORIST!SOCIALIST!HE'sBLACK at every opportunity is rolling over, what does racistfuck(tm) think the Republiscum should have done? Hired an assassin? Filmed a lookalike having an orgy with goats and midgets? What? WHAT? (My brain is screaming again.)
And yes, McCain winning would have felt like my mom dying. Just like that. If I really didn't care about my mom. Sure.
What is most disconcerting now is listening to fools babble on about how "historic" the moment was, in a manner that serves only to expose their ignorance. Historic? Yes, in the same manner that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were "historic." Not something sane people celebrate. It feels as if a great percentage of the population have collectively lost their minds.
The first black president is historic. By definition it makes history. History is the story of firsts and mosts and leasts. Same old, same old isn't historic. "On this date in 1908, everything was exactly the same as it is today. Isn't that something?" He probably does have one thing right. I'm sure racistfucks(tm) didn't feel like celebrating the breaking of racial barriers. They liked those barriers, damnit!
The rest is young people suck blahblahblah nobody loves this country like a racistfuck(tm) blahblahblah support the Constitution Party blahblahblah I have now painted all members of the Constitution Party as racistfucks(tm) blahblahblah Bob from Chicago.
Everyone named Bob in Chicago should consider changing their name to Hussein. It'll probably work out better for you.

If you can't beat 'em . . .
accuse them of not being a citizen.
Janet Porter, neocon fundagelist "columnist", has posted a new "column"! I got my 11/11 wish! (In retrospect, I should have wished for world peace. Well, hindsight and all that.)
Let's dissect, shall we?
The Constitution Still Matters. Call Alannis Morisette- this is irony! Bush and Dick have spent the last eight years shredding the constitution while Ms. Porter cheered them on, and now the constitution matters? Therefore do not fear them, 'For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.'"
–Matthew 10:26 Random bible quote, taken out of context that seems relevant, but isn't. I'm going to start randomly quoting Gears of War 2 dialogue to make my points. "Dibs!"
Hold on. Just a minute. Not only was there no landslide and no mandate, there was no election. The Electoral College doesn't even vote until Dec. 15. And there's one thing that may stand in their way from affirming last Tuesday's popular vote: the Constitution Researching . . . *sigh* sort of technically true, but not so much. Basically, citizens of the US do not directly vote for President and Vice President. They cast their votes which determine who the electors vote for, and then the electors cast the official vote on the second Wednesday of December. However, electors are not free to vote for whomever they please. Faithless electors are members of the United States Electoral College who do not cast their electoral votes for the people they have pledged to vote for. 24 states have severe penalties for faithless electors. Note that Ms. Porter did admit that Obama won the popular vote. Bet that hurt!
For the electors to uphold the Constitution that they're sworn to do with their upcoming vote (bad grammar), they must first know for sure that the candidates meet the basic constitutional requirements for the office of president. He must be a natural-born citizen (true), at least 35 years old (true), and have at least 14 years of residency in these United States (true). That's not a lot to ask. Pretty basic, really.
And pretty easy. Either you are a natural born citizen or you aren't (true). Just deliver the original birth certificate and everyone can be on their way (true, but i couldn't deliver my original birth certificate to anyone. i lost it. do i not get to be president now?). That's just what Phillip J. Berg has asked the United States Supreme Court to do. And the Supreme Court has asked for a response from Barack Obama along with the Democratic National Committee and Federal Elections Commission. And they have until Dec. 1 to respond.
A little background on Philip (one "l") J. Berg, Esquire. He also filed a lawsuit against President Bush because "he allowed 9/11 to happen" and asked three Supreme Court Justices to disbar themselves due to their opinions in Bush v. Gore. Yeah, he's just the guy you want to base your opinions on. In 2005 he was fined and sanctioned $10,000 for having committed a "laundry list of unethical actions."
""Other attorneys should look to Mr. Berg's actions as a blueprint for what not to do when attempting to effectively and honorably perform the duties of the legal profession," Joyner wrote.
"This court has grown weary of Mr. Berg's continuous and brazen disrespect toward this court and his own clients. Mr. Berg's actions ... are an enormous waste of judicial time and resources that this court cannot, in good conscience, allow to go unpunished," Joyner wrote.
oh, Ms. Porter, how the mighty have fallen. (Gears 2 : "Nice!")
Here's a little background on Berg's latest lawsuit.
1) The State of Hawaii has confirmed they hold a valid copy of President-elect Obama's birth certificate in their files.
2) If you look at the pictures FactCheck posted, you will clearly see an official embossed seal from the state of Hawaii and a date stamp.
3) In the lawsuits where Sen. McCain's citizenship was challenged, the lawsuits were dismissed without Sen. McCain submitting a certified copy of his birth certificate into the court record.
4) Berg cites the Nationality Act of 1940, Section 317(b) to support his claim that Stanley Ann Durham lost her US citizenship as a result of marrying Lolo Soetoro and moving to Indonesia. In reality, the Nationality Act of 1940, Section 317(b) says:
"From and after the effective date of this Act, a woman, who was a citizen of the United States at birth, and who has or is believed to have lost her United States citizenship solely by reason of her marriage prior to September 22, 1922, to an alien, and whose marital status with such alien has or shall have terminated, if no other nationality was acquired by affirmative act other than such marriage,shall, from and after the taking of the oath of allegiance prescribed by subsection (b) of section 335 of this Act, be deemed to be a citizen of the United States to the same extent as though her marriage to said alien had taken place on or after September 22, 1922"In other words, that section applies if the US citizen married the foreign national before 1922. Berg says that Stanley Ann Durham married Lolo Soetoro in 1967, 45 years after the cutoff. Therefore, this law does not apply to the Dunham-Soetoro marriage, and Stanley Ann Dunham retained her US citizenship after marriage in the eyes of US law, which is what applies in this case.
As we can see, the law is clear. Obama is a natural citizen of the United States. He is older than 35, he has lived here longer than 14 years. Done! No?
Surely a guy couldn't get this far without meeting the basic requirements, could he? Turns out … he could. Especially if the political party whose job it is to verify that their candidate is qualified has a conflict of interest – they want their guy to win. This makes sense unless you consider that lots of other people have an interest in Obama's background: the GOP, the news, everyone in the US, etc.
Exhibit A: The Grandmother's tape
I was in the delivery room in [Mombosa,] Kenya, when he was born Aug. 4, 1961.
– Obama's paternal grandmother
This is the link where Obama's grandmother says Barack Obama is a native Kenyan.
Here's the phone call where Obama's grandmother says Obama was born in Kenya.
While politicians are known for it, grandmothers seldom lie Uh- huh. So, the law of the land says Obama is a natural US citizen, but we're taking his grandmother's words over the law. Again, this is real irony: Ms. Porter, who probably wouldn't stand in a room with a Kenyan unless they were serving her food is suddenly Mama Obama's biggest supporter. Besides that, Mama Obama is justifiably proud of her grandson's achievements. She is justifiably proud of being Kenyan. My grandmother (who is a not a native USian) frequently referred to me as "Italian". Should I be deported on the basis of those statements?
Experts have called the certificate of live birth a forgery. Phil Berg reported on my Faith2Action radio program yesterday, "It's clearly been altered," which invalidates it, according to the document itself. Berg added that there is no indication even on this certificate as to specifically where the birth took place. And it turns out that Hawaiian law at the time allowed people to register for this non-hospital short form certificate (without a doctor's signature) up to one year from the date of the child's birth. These are two of the three "experts" listed in the complaint (yes, this is actually how they are listed in a legal document presented to the Supreme Court) : Polarik (that's it, no first name) and "TechDude" (that's right, a screen name) Heck, if those are your requirements for being an expert, I'm a physicist. (Gears 2: "Sweet!")
Only Indonesian citizens could attend Indonesian schools at the time Barack Obama attended school in Indonesia where was registered as Barry Soetoro. His citizenship was listed as Indonesian and his religion as Islam. There was also no dual citizenship at the time.
If he was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather, he would have forfeited any U.S. citizenship he may have had, just as when a child is adopted in America, he or she becomes an American. Try harder. One of the parents had to be a citizen, not the child. His stepfather was an Indonesian citizen. Marriage does not automatically grant one citizenship and there is no evidence that Mom Obama gave up her US citizenship. Even if she had, that would not have invalidated Obama's citizenship.
According to Phillip Berg on my radio program yesterday, if Barack Obama went through immigration as he re-entered the United States Ok, I've had enough. If I say the Earth is flat on the radio tomorrow, does that make it true? No, but you're welcome to make an idiot out of yourself and quote me. (Gears 2: "Are you kidding me?")
And now comes the obligatory "slippery slope" argument. During the election, this came in the form of "A vote for Obama is a vote for gay terrorists to break into your home, force you to have an abortion and turn your kids gay with a single look!" (They'll be wearing lovely lavender uniforms, and after the abortion and gay-turning, will redecorate your home in an understated, but elegant, fashion. Gears 2: "Got one!") Today, the slippery slope argument is Here's the bottom line: either the Constitution matters or it doesn't. And if we're willing to ignore the constitutional requirements for the highest office in the land, what else are we willing to forgo? That part about free speech? Freedom of the press? Freedom of religion? If we are willing to shred one part of the Constitution, brace yourself to lose the rest .
BushDick spent the last eight years shredding the Constitution (see: wire-tapping) and I've still got freedom of speech and religion. I'm not defending BushDick or their actions, but the world hasn't stopped turning, I'm still proud to be an American (Gears 2: "Down in front!") and Ms. Porter's still free to worship Jesus by ignoring everything he ever said.

And then my head exploded
*Posts from the past*
It will take forever to get the blood out of the fabric walls of my cubicle.
Janet Porter is a Christian neoconservative who makes Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh look like civil rights activists. You've probably never heard of her. In fact, you may wonder why you should care at all. "Hey, she's just some right wing crazy person and Obama's president(elect) now, so who cares?" I'd say there is a great deal of wisdom in your words, except people listen to Janet Porter. Millions of people. And they vote. They own guns. They may live right next door to you. (How well do you know your neighbors?) Sort of puts a different slant on the "who cares about the crazy right wingers?" argument, doesn't it?Let's see Janet's portrait of an Obama Presidency, through a poorly produced fake news clip, starring -- Janet Porter!
It's January 22, 2009, for 911 News, 911 News? Could you be more obvious? That's as shameless as Guiliani's primary argument that hey, I gave a great speech after 9/11, so I'd be a good president. I'm Janet Porter. Two days after the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, the Middle Eastern reaction is the same. (VIDEO: TERRORISTS DANCING IN THE STREETS.) Are they wearing signs that say "Terrorist"? How do we know they're terrorists? Oh, right . . . sigh.
Obama campaign supporters from al-Qaida to Hamas to Hezbollah, to Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood, continue to dance in the streets. al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood are NOT Obama campaign supporters. Let's see some post election reactions from actual middle eastern Obama supporters.
"Obama has said he'd talk to Iran," exclaimed an excited auto spare parts dealer, Mehran Yaghoubi, 40. "He's a peace-loving type. With him, Iran and the U.S. could finally sit down at a table and negotiate." I work with a guy whose family deals in auto spare parts. They're not terrorists. Maybe it's only Iranian auto spare parts dealers who are terrorists? This guy seems happy at a chance for peace. When did peace become evil?
"Obama is a more relaxed type but there are remnants of the 'war on terror' talk in his speech too, so I'm not sure his foreign policy toward Iran will be that different," said 21-year old chemistry student Saman Kavousi. Is "relaxed" the new code word for evil? She seems normal to me. A little cynical, but hopeful that peace might have a chance to win out. No wait, chemistry is evil. EVIL!
The "Death to America Coalition" released a statement: "We have not celebrated like this since 9/11!" I wasted my time and looked. There is no "Death to America Coalition". Were they supposed to have formed between November 4, 2008 and January 22, 2009? Those Muslims are efficient if nothing else!
President Obama thanked campaign contributor William Ayers by appointing him as director of Homeland Security. Ayers, who bombed the Pentagon, and after 9/11 said he wished he could have done more, in a statement released today, said, "Now I can." First of all, Obama attended a couple of parties with the guy, who happens to be a college professor. They ran in the same circle in Chicago. Ayers was the worst terrorist in all of history. He blew up the same statue twice, and did $10,000 worth of damage to the Pentagon. He killed no one. He didn't even injure anyone. Calling Ayers a terrorist is an insult to terrorists everywhere. I ran in the same circle and attended parties with a guy who later raped someone. Does this mean I support rape? Besides, who makes a failed terrorist and a college professor Director of Homeland Security? May as well make my mom Director of Homeland Security. Come to think of it, she'd be better at it than Ayers.
President Obama's close friend, mentor and pastor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, accepted the appointment to oversee the president's Faith Based Initiative program with the condition he would quit calling for God to damn America in public. This is silly. I don't agree with everything Wright had to say, but what he wants is a better life for blacks in America. It's a laudable and necessary goal. He went about it in a way I don't agree with, but who am I to judge. Judge not, lest ye be . . . something.
Obama made good on his long-held campaign promise dating back to 1996, when he told the "Independent voters of Illinois" he would outlaw all handguns. Reiterating his words on the campaign trail, Obama told gun owners to "quit being bitter and clinging to the Second Amendment of the Constitution." Here's the funny thing about the Constitution. Any Amendment, and it would take an amendment to change the 2nd amendment, must be passed through Congress and then ratified by 3/4 of the states. The President cannot just change the Constitution whenever he wants, no matter what Cheney thinks. So unless Ms. Porter thinks 3/4 of the states would vote to abolish the 2nd Amendment, she doesn't have anything to worry about.
President Obama followed through on his campaign promise to sign the "Freedom of Choice Act" as his first act in office. (VIDEO FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD SPEECH MAKING PROMISE.) This effectively wipes out every pro-life law from parental notice to every ban on partial-birth abortion in all 50 states. No, it doesn't. It would reaffirm Roe v. Wade, which is still the law of the land.
NICKIE NAEVE, 14 year old: "Now that Obama's president, I can get an abortion and mom or dad will never ever know!" I think the word we are looking for here is Naive. Where is this 14 year old getting hundreds of dollars for an abortion? She can't drive, so who's getting her there? (Most places in the country are hundreds of miles from an abortion provider.)
SANDY SLAUGHTER from KTAI (Kill Them All International) *wild laughter ensues that causes me to spit coffee on my monitor and everyone at work to look at me* I can't decide what's funnier here, the name of the prochoicer or the name of the organization. Slaughter actually is a last name. Kill Them All International is a Metallica Fan Group. Metallica is probably prochoice, but other than that, no connection.: "You just worked 36 years for nothing! When Obama won we won! Ha!" OK, I like this. "Neener, neener, neener, you bombed abortion clinics for nothing!"
The only thing left of the abortion agenda not yet accomplished is the forced abortion policy of China. Yeah, that's what we want: abortions for all. In fact, we are going to artificially inseminate everyone over the age of 18 who has never had an abortion and then force them to have one in order to achieve our goal of a 100% abortion rate. The Chinese abortion policy is obscene, but it's based in two things: limited resources, and the desire of China's ruling class not to be overrun by the peasants. We don't have those things here. We are also a democracy and we still own guns.
Obama said he misspoke when he referred to his health care plan as "socialized medicine," saying, "The term 'socialism' has been given a bad rap," and returned to the discussion of "government takeover of health care" and the fines for those who won't submit. There is no government takeover of healthcare. That has worked out well in Sweden, though. What is planned is that everyone who doesn't currently have insurance can buy into the same insurance Senators get. Doesn't sound like a bad plan to me. Then again, I've been without insurance, and it sucks. People without insurance are 50% more likely to die of traumatic injuries and cancer. What did Jesus say about the sick? I forget.
First lady Michelle Obama spent the day reading from her favorite books to elementary school children.
MICHELLE OBAMA READING TO CHILDREN: "Mr. Ayers knew America was a bad country so he and his lovely wife formed a club called 'The Weather Underground.' (To children) Can you say 'Weather Underground'?"
CHILDREN REPEAT: "Weather Underground."
MICHELLE: "They took action and stood up for what they believed (turning children's book page) in the Pentagon …"
CHILDREN: "Ka-Boom!"
JOHNNIE RAISES HIS HAND: "Mrs. Obama? Did Mr. Ayers ever say he was sorry for blowing up the Pentagon?"
MICHELLE: "No, but nobody really cares about that. Let's move to our next book, "Heather and Her Two Mommies aren't Proud of their Imperialist Country.'"Wow, now we have children's books written and published between November 4, 2008 and January 22, 2009. Publishers are efficient, too! Really, I want those books. They sound awesome! Way better than "Goodnight Moon".
As Senator John McCain predicted, the Russian aggression has moved to the Ukraine. Russian tanks rolled in and soldiers began to burn homes, schools and hospitals this morning. President Obama's immediate reaction was, once again, "We're not sure who's at fault, but this administration stands firm on the principle that we should all get along."
After he had time to talk to his 300 foreign affairs advisers, President Obama's official statement was: "Present!"This is silly, but telling of the fundamentalist neoconservative viewpoint. Peace is bad, and getting opinions and advice from knowledgable people is bad, too. If you can't make any decision and every decision within 3 seconds without blinking, you're not qualified to be President. Worked out well for Bush.
As was predicted, successful small businesses and job-providing corporations are closing their doors and moving overseas to escape the enormous tax hikes the Obama administration has imposed in an effort to use them to redistribute or "spread" the wealth. Yeah, 3% on the small number of small businesses that NET more than 250k would just cause anarchy. Not including, of course, the tax credit for health care, the tax credit for ADDING jobs. Why learn the facts when you can just vomit up talking points?
Another victim of this administration's class warfare is Joe the Plumber ** SPOILER ALERT ** Joe the Plumber is named Samuel, he's not a licensed plumber and is not in a position to buy a company making 250k, but what the hell, go on, who was made famous during the final presidential debate, who is moving from his beloved Holland, Ohio, to Holland. He said they're socialists too, but at least they're honest about it. "If I can't win, I'm leaving and taking my toys with me!"
President Obama responded, "That's OK, I'll get him with the global tax I tried to pass in the Senate." *more coffee spewing* The senate could pass all the global taxes they want, it wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on. "All right now, Russia, where's your tax." "It's in the mail. You'll get it, don't worry." Russia collectively snickers.
Leader of the "Nation of Islam," Louis Farrakhan who, during the campaign, referred to Barack Obama as the "Messiah" and received an award from President Obama's church, today received another honor from the president, who asked him to be the keynote speaker at the Presidential Prayer Breakfast. Attendees were reportedly told to face east. Too silly to respond to. Is Obama a disciple of the radical CHRISTIAN Reverand Wright, or is he Muslim? Can't be both.
Farrakhan called for the loud siren * see description of the Muslim call to prayer below*signaling the Muslim call to prayer heard in Muslim Countries (and in Michigan and in every state of the union. They're everwhere!) to be sounded in the capital five times a day. Not surprisingly, President Obama repeated the words he said in a February 27, 2007, interview with the New York Times that this call to allegiance to Allah as the "one true god" was "one of the prettiest sounds on earth."
This is a description of the Muslim call to prayer. "The muezzin, a man appointed to call to prayer, climbs the mineret of the mosque, and he calls in all directions, "Hasten to prayer." Many mosques no longer require the muezzin to climb the mineret. Instead, a loud speaker carries the message." No siren at all. It is a recording of a man singing, in Arabic, "Hasten to prayer". I think it's very pretty and exotic. And, no Muslim anywhere would expect a nonMuslim to respond to the call to prayer. That's for Muslims.
As promised, President Obama also overturned the Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed by President Bill Clinton. He didn't promise this at all. He promised to give homosexuals the right to a civil union allowing for deathbed visits and inheritance. Now we'll all have to be gay to marry! Heterosexual marriages will be banned! The apocolypse is nigh! This is sure to spread homosexual marriage not just in Massachusetts, California and Connecticut, but to states like Pennsylvania, Florida and Colorado. President Obama, as he said during the campaign, opposes any efforts to protect marriage by state amendment. He also made good on his campaign promise to use the bully pulpit of the White House to place vulnerable orphan children in the homes of homosexual activists who demanded it during their Gay Pride Parade. A vote for Obama is a vote for gay terrorists to burst into your home in the middle of the night, force you to have an abortion and turn your kids gay with a single look. They're efficient, too!
Conservative talk radio just became a thing of the past with President Obama answering the Democrat Congress' call for a gag rule on Rush Limbaugh, conservative and Christian talk radio. Actually, just gagging Rush Limbaugh would make me happy. With the so-called Fairness Doctrine heading to his desk, Obama vowed to use the FCC to further tighten what used to be referred to as the freedom of speech. Wouldn't it still be referred to as "freedom of speech"? Even if we didn't have it anymore, we wouldn't call it something else. We don't have slavery in this country anymore, but we still refer to it as slavery.
*dramatic static ending*
It will take forever to get the blood out of the fabric walls of my cubicle.
Janet Porter is a Christian neoconservative who makes Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh look like civil rights activists. You've probably never heard of her. In fact, you may wonder why you should care at all. "Hey, she's just some right wing crazy person and Obama's president(elect) now, so who cares?" I'd say there is a great deal of wisdom in your words, except people listen to Janet Porter. Millions of people. And they vote. They own guns. They may live right next door to you. (How well do you know your neighbors?) Sort of puts a different slant on the "who cares about the crazy right wingers?" argument, doesn't it?Let's see Janet's portrait of an Obama Presidency, through a poorly produced fake news clip, starring -- Janet Porter!
It's January 22, 2009, for 911 News, 911 News? Could you be more obvious? That's as shameless as Guiliani's primary argument that hey, I gave a great speech after 9/11, so I'd be a good president. I'm Janet Porter. Two days after the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, the Middle Eastern reaction is the same. (VIDEO: TERRORISTS DANCING IN THE STREETS.) Are they wearing signs that say "Terrorist"? How do we know they're terrorists? Oh, right . . . sigh.
Obama campaign supporters from al-Qaida to Hamas to Hezbollah, to Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood, continue to dance in the streets. al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood are NOT Obama campaign supporters. Let's see some post election reactions from actual middle eastern Obama supporters.
"Obama has said he'd talk to Iran," exclaimed an excited auto spare parts dealer, Mehran Yaghoubi, 40. "He's a peace-loving type. With him, Iran and the U.S. could finally sit down at a table and negotiate." I work with a guy whose family deals in auto spare parts. They're not terrorists. Maybe it's only Iranian auto spare parts dealers who are terrorists? This guy seems happy at a chance for peace. When did peace become evil?
"Obama is a more relaxed type but there are remnants of the 'war on terror' talk in his speech too, so I'm not sure his foreign policy toward Iran will be that different," said 21-year old chemistry student Saman Kavousi. Is "relaxed" the new code word for evil? She seems normal to me. A little cynical, but hopeful that peace might have a chance to win out. No wait, chemistry is evil. EVIL!
The "Death to America Coalition" released a statement: "We have not celebrated like this since 9/11!" I wasted my time and looked. There is no "Death to America Coalition". Were they supposed to have formed between November 4, 2008 and January 22, 2009? Those Muslims are efficient if nothing else!
President Obama thanked campaign contributor William Ayers by appointing him as director of Homeland Security. Ayers, who bombed the Pentagon, and after 9/11 said he wished he could have done more, in a statement released today, said, "Now I can." First of all, Obama attended a couple of parties with the guy, who happens to be a college professor. They ran in the same circle in Chicago. Ayers was the worst terrorist in all of history. He blew up the same statue twice, and did $10,000 worth of damage to the Pentagon. He killed no one. He didn't even injure anyone. Calling Ayers a terrorist is an insult to terrorists everywhere. I ran in the same circle and attended parties with a guy who later raped someone. Does this mean I support rape? Besides, who makes a failed terrorist and a college professor Director of Homeland Security? May as well make my mom Director of Homeland Security. Come to think of it, she'd be better at it than Ayers.
President Obama's close friend, mentor and pastor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, accepted the appointment to oversee the president's Faith Based Initiative program with the condition he would quit calling for God to damn America in public. This is silly. I don't agree with everything Wright had to say, but what he wants is a better life for blacks in America. It's a laudable and necessary goal. He went about it in a way I don't agree with, but who am I to judge. Judge not, lest ye be . . . something.
Obama made good on his long-held campaign promise dating back to 1996, when he told the "Independent voters of Illinois" he would outlaw all handguns. Reiterating his words on the campaign trail, Obama told gun owners to "quit being bitter and clinging to the Second Amendment of the Constitution." Here's the funny thing about the Constitution. Any Amendment, and it would take an amendment to change the 2nd amendment, must be passed through Congress and then ratified by 3/4 of the states. The President cannot just change the Constitution whenever he wants, no matter what Cheney thinks. So unless Ms. Porter thinks 3/4 of the states would vote to abolish the 2nd Amendment, she doesn't have anything to worry about.
