I’m thinking Obama is going to be the next POTUS, and I wonder what exactly he will do about illegal aliens, shamnesty, etc. Yes, I know what he has said and done up to now, but there’s politics and there’s reality. I want to know what he plans to do as POTUS about this hideous problem. Will he push for shamnesty with all is energy? Or, just muck around with it as George Bush has done? Any chance for a flipflop?

What’s on my mind is how shocking it is to find out that any woman would date underarock, I mean Goldwater Knight, let alone a beautiful and intelligent Asian woman. I guess the apocalypse really is upon us.

Free hugs in Berkeley? A simple little concept, but in my opinion brilliant:

I know a lot of you are going to think this is wacky Berkeley liberalism at it’s finest, but I would ask you to think about the underlying concept.

I don’t know if you would get the same reactions standing on a street corner in Atlanta or Chicago or Boston, or anywhere, but you probably would on any college campus in America.

These kids are our bright future and this simple video displays something that all politicians and religious leaders should be reminded of: Openness, acceptance, kindness.

Thursday Morning Greetings Mrs. Malkin and loyal community,

In sorrow for my short-sighted comfort-seeking countrymen, I wish to endorse Sea_Dog’s contribution of this morning:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”

—Alexander Fraser Tyler

Thank you Mrs. Malkin for this well-tended venue, thank you Sea_Dog for your most cogent contribution, and let there be prayers that His wisdom will yet attend us!

Obama’s middle name.
I use it for two reasons.
One is that others use ‘messiah’ when referencing B. Hussein and that is extremely offensive to me. I get the ‘joke’ but it’s just offensive.
Second is B. Hussein continues to lie about his childhood and the schools where he was considered a Muslim and studied Islam daily ( not to mention he is 8% black, 50 % white and 42% arab…he is not even LEGALLY an African American)
If he owns up to the truth about his muslim past, I’ll drop it.

I doubt I can get allahpundit nor anyone else to stop with the messiah crap, but one out of two would be a start.

On a side note, IT IS HIS NAME. Why should we back off of another subject about this guy? Is anything about his past a topic we can discuss or even mention?
Look what they do to President Bush.
Barack Hussein Obama, IT IS HIS NAME, why is that so wrong?
I didn’t name him, it is part of his life and, he wants to be my president.

Ohio.

today being my daughter’s last day of school for
the summer and her school is being shut down
forever because our Pastor wants to spend the
parish money to start a mission school for
illegals.

Whatever happened to Pelosi’s statements about Iran? zero coverage from the media, only reason I can think of is it was the same day as the dirtbag priests comments….. totally swept under the rug.

Here’s where your charity dollars really go. The DNC convention is receiving funds from the ‘Friends of New Orleans’ charity.

From ‘The Denver Post’.

Pays to be careful who you send your charity money to. I’d like to know if this breaks any FEC laws or laws about solciting charitable dollrs for one purpose and then using them for political purposes.

hrm. For the 2nd day in a row, CNN completely drop a red-letter ‘breaking news’ story with no further mention whatsoever. I’m beginning to think they’re just making stories up to keep people on their site.

I’m wondering if Drudge is for Obama. I read a column at Politico about that on Monday, and now I see “Time for Healing” with a picture of Obama covered by his fans.

I have a feeling the guy writing the talking points for the rest of press nation is playing for the other team.

As I sit and listen to young folks in my neighborhood talking about this presidential race I have to admit I am terribly afraid for my country. We have an entire generation that is incapable of critical thought and logic is totally beyond their ability. We are where we are because we have dumbed down our schools and worried more about self esteem than education. We have not taught the 30 and under electorate how to think beyond themselves. It’s no wonder that we end up with candidates succeeding with nothing more than “hope and change” as a platform.

Lanny Davis was back on Fox this morning spinning for Hillary. One good thing about her not being president is this twit wont be the press secretary.

Sometimes I feel like I’m in a bad dream as I read other posts where this person is lauded as the savior of this country.”

X2 on this. I see these people with Obama stickers and buttons and I want to shake ‘em and wake ‘em up. In addition to being a racist, Obama is a liar. On top of it, he’s not only getting a free pass from the media, they’re basically behaving like one of his campaign offices.

I’m feeling pretty sick and pessimistic right now.

Add me to the list. Right now I’m more optimistic about the future of Israel than I am the USA.

NOTE: Nineteen U.S. troops were killed in Iraq in May, the fewest killed in any month since the war started. What’s the bet Obama still continues to claim the surge was a failure and the US should pull out.
