No one claimed that he must come from a family where mom and dad stayed together. Nor did anyone claim that having a crazy aunt or uncle should preclude candidacy.<BR/><BR/>I also applaud the fact that a black person can now be a viable candidate for national office in 2008. You're right. Fifty years ago that would have been an impossibility.<BR/><BR/>But there are dozens of much more qualified black candidates who have significantly more experience in government, significantly more experience managing people or running a business, and are significantly more educated in history and diplomacy -- <A HREF="http://www.americasrevival.com" REL="nofollow">Alan Keyes</A> and <A HREF="http://www.washingtonspeakers.com/speakers/Speaker.cfm?SpeakerID=4153" REL="nofollow">J. C. Watts</A> are striking examples, though certainly not the only ones.<BR/><BR/>What is troubling is the answer to the question, 'Why Obama?'<BR/><BR/>He has done far more than 'talk to communists'. He has enjoyed serious, deep friendships and working relationships with them, and with black separatists, over decades.<BR/><BR/>He has more than a 'crazy aunt' or 'crazy uncle' in his family tree. He has a cousin who has participated in, and even led, violent uprisings in the name of Islamic insurgency. Are you aware that Obama has funded his cousin Odinga's violent Islamic insurgency in Kenya to the tune of nearly a million dollars so far, with his own money and in a fundraiser?<BR/><BR/>He doesn't just 'talk to' terrorists. He supports them -- especially those who are members of his family. <BR/><BR/>You cannot treat lightly this man's deep, long-term relationships with communist and black separatist groups and their leaders. His life has been steeped in relationships, both familial and working, with people who despise the foundations upon which our republic was built.<BR/><BR/>~ joaniejoaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914891807184694081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28785049.post-54109286181062001302008-05-16T18:34:00.000-04:002008-05-16T18:34:00.000-04:00I guess I'll be the lone voice of dissent.

Yes, he's talked to communists. Yes, some of his relatives are non-Christians. Yes, he's lived abroad.<BR/><BR/>Not everyone is 100% white. Not everyone comes from a family where mom and dad stayed together. Everyone that I know has some crazy aunt or uncle somewhere (I have two). Some people move out of the U.S. to find work and move back. Some people have relatives that don't believe in the same book as you do.<BR/><BR/>It is nothing less than the miracle of the Constitution of the United States and the drive of Mr. Obama that he is actually a viable candidate for the office of President. Could you imagine him running in the 'glorious' 50's? He'd be called a nigger and be told that he couldn't eat in certain places and told where he could and could not go to school.<BR/><BR/>The very fact that Mr. Obama has gotten as far as he has should be a celebration to those people who really believe that "All men are created equal".<BR/><BR/>You may disagree with him, you may not vote for him, but let's not be afraid of him because he has a different upbringing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28785049.post-73040445154739223472008-05-07T00:23:00.000-04:002008-05-07T00:23:00.000-04:00Today's primary results in NC and IN are especiall...Today's primary results in NC and IN are especially depressing after reading this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28785049.post-49591598088744118642008-05-06T14:11:00.000-04:002008-05-06T14:11:00.000-04:00Thanks, Barry.

The Harlem Renaissance appears to have played a much greater role in Obama’s political leanings than any true study, or appreciation, of the history of America (as a whole, as opposed to the role – either genuine or supposed – that blacks played). <BR/><BR/>His Kenya connections have received very little play in the media. Yet, as you so artfully point out, his relatives there, and his financial support of their political ambitions, deserve a great deal of scrutiny. The potential leader of the free world may well harbor a fondness for tyranny, when it suits his purposes. Somehow I think the American electorate ought to be aware of that. <BR/><BR/>Call me naïve if you like, but I truly believe that the leadership that represented our ancestors – especially those of the late eighteenth century – were generally a cut above the ‘common man’. And they were elected for just that reason: the ability to bear allegiance to those beliefs upon which we were founded, and the sense of duty required to see to it, at all costs, that those beliefs were defended. Their sense of duty and allegiance was considered a calling to them; whereas the ‘common man’ revered such character traits but did not necessarily possess them to the same degree. <BR/><BR/>Fast forward to 2008. We have duty-bound Americans laying their lives on the line in Iraq and Afghanistan – placing their lives on hold, and often in the cross-hairs of a brutal enemy – in order to defend the liberties of other people, and to prevent the enemy from once again reaching our shores. <BR/><BR/>And where is the allegiance and sense of duty of the democrat front-runners for the presidency these days? It lies in saying or doing anything, regardless of right or truth, in order to get elected and increase their personal and ideological power – which, incidentally, bears no resemblance whatsoever to our founding principles. <BR/><BR/>Our pretenders to the throne are fabricating lies about being under enemy fire abroad during diplomatic missions, while, at the same time, those they are seeking to lead are facing the threat of actual enemy fire every single day. <BR/><BR/>Our pretenders to the throne are embracing ‘theologies’ that demonize our protectors in Iraq and Afghanistan, and proclaim that the enemy that our duty-bound young men and women are facing in the middle east had reason to perpetrate the holocaust that was 9/11. <BR/><BR/>Treason abounds in Washington. The Constitution is under relentless attack. And the democrat front-runners for the presidency of the United States bear little or no allegiance to its founding documents and principles. Nor do they place any value on truth, other than to the degree that it can increase their power. <BR/><BR/>As a people, we are collectively more moral, more honest, and more faithful to our Founders’ vision, than are those who believe they possess the credentials to lead us. And that sorry -- potentially deadly -- state of affairs has come into existence because (1) as a people, we are apathetic and uninformed, and (2) those seeking leadership positions in the highest levels of our government consider themselves to be members of an elite class whose superior qualifications destine them the right to dictate how the rest of us should live. They are personally and politically agenda-driven megalomaniacs, pathological liars, and they believe themselves answerable to no one, including their Creator. <BR/><BR/>As a free republic we are on the road to ruin. Without a rude awakening even more powerful than that which occurred on 9/11, the most moral and prosperous civilization in the history of mankind is in the process of writing its own gruesome epitaph. <BR/><BR/>As always, betty, thank you for sharing your research and commentary. Your words never cease to educate, inform, and stimulate critical thought. I wish your essay could somehow find its way into the hands of every adult American.<BR/><BR/>~ joaniejoaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914891807184694081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28785049.post-33077439750770331442008-05-06T09:47:00.000-04:002008-05-06T09:47:00.000-04:00Betty, thank you for this great essay.

His allegiance to his "black heritage" is much deeper than we're being led to believe. The simple fact that he sat in a pew in Trinity Church for 20 years says everything. He didn't denounce anything that Jeremiah Wright said until it became politically opportune to do so. And his denunciations got louder when Wright betrayed him.<BR/><BR/>Obama believes in just about everything that Wright preaches.<BR/><BR/>Be afraid.

You have done your homework.<BR/><BR/>I read an article on Obama's "spiritual advisor" entitled "Context, You Say?" in this week's National Review that is every bit as frightening as what you wrote here. The final paragraph of the article reads:<BR/><BR/><B>In his rejection of the path of assimilation; in his contempt for "middle-classness" and the capitalist system it sustains; in his pursuit of a separate, black Christianity and his hostility to conventional religion; in his bitter and "prophetic" denunciations of America's history, its founding icons and its anti-Qaddafi, pro-Israel foreign policy; in his conviction that the U.S. government is responsible for genocide against blacks; and in his insistence that Americans are collectively guilty for 9/11, Jeremiah Wright is a true follower of James Cone's theology of black liberation. It would seem the only thing worse than quoting Jeremiah Wright out of context is quoting him in context.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28785049.post-38339586604868414222008-05-05T11:45:00.000-04:002008-05-05T11:45:00.000-04:00Way to go, Betty!Obama's cousin has promised to in...Way to go, Betty!<BR/><BR/><B>Obama's cousin has promised to institute Sharia law in Kenya if his insurgency is successful, even though Muslims in Kenya constitute only around 12% of the Kenyan population.
