Is Obama African-American?

September 1, 2008 1 comment

I have no idea if a “drop” of this is true or not, but makes for interesting Sunday morning hooha!
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn’t, not a genetic drop of, is ‘African-American,’ the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn’t a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

The Essence of Liberty

September 1, 2008 Leave a comment

When Thomas Hobbes wrote Leviathan in 1651, he argued that without government, life would be a war of all against all, and that to maintain an orderly society, people had to pledge their allegiance to the sovereign, and to follow the sovereign’s rules. The rules of the sovereign amounted to a social contract, Hobbes argued, and the government was justified in killing those who did not accept the sovereign’s rules.

Only a few decades later, John Locke, in his Second treaties of Government, offered a radically different vision of the social contract. People did not get their rights from government, as Hobbes suggested. Rather, people naturally had rights, and it was the role of the government to protect those natural rights. The social contract as Locke envisioned it was an agreement among citizens to respect each others’ rights, not a contract between the government and the people, as Hobbes had described it. The government of the United States was established to preserve this Lockean notion of rights.

In Government We Trust?

Many who agree with me on a lot of other issues do not understand my enthusiasm for gold and sound money or why I spend so much time studying and talking about monetary policy. It’s true that I talk about money differently than most, but the fact is sound money offers many benefits. For example – peace.

Can sound money really bring about peace? Actually, it plays a big part in peaceful international relationships. Money based on commodities, rather than paper, is not subject to government manipulation, and is a key component to free and honest trade. History shows that if countries engage in trade with each other, their governments tend to find ways to get along for the same reason you do not kill your customers at your place of business, even if they occasionally annoy you. If someone outright cheats you, however, you may engage in “war” by taking them to court, for example, and the relationship will sour. Governments and central banks with unfettered power to manipulate currency also have the ability to cheat their creditors. One way they do this is to simply create enough currency to pay off debts. This devalues the currency and “cheats” the recipient out of what they are owed. It would not be fair if you watered down your product the way our government waters down its currency, so it is not hard to understand, in these simplified terms, why loose monetary policy contributes so much to ill will and war around the world.

Does Bush Want War With Russia?

A year after taking power, in June 1934, Adolf Hitler made his first visit abroad – to his idol Benito Mussolini in Venice.

Babbling on incessantly about Mein Kampf and the Negroid strain in Mediterranean peoples, the Führer made a dismal impression.

“What a clown this Hitler is,” Mussolini told an aide.

Two weeks later, Hitler executed the Roehm purge and murdered scores of old Stormtrooper comrades. In late July, Austrian Nazis, attempting a coup, assassinated Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, a friend of Mussolini whose wife and child were then his guests.

Il Duce ordered four divisions to the Brenner Pass and flew to Vienna to vent his rage and disgust with Hitler. He called a summit at Stresa with Britain and France to agree on military action should Hitler make any new move in violation of Versailles.

At the time, however, Il Duce was also plotting revenge on Abyssinia for a bloody border clash with Italian Somaliland.

Mussolini thought his Allies would understand if he invaded the Ogaden to add an African colony to his new Roman Empire, just as the British and French had so often done in previous decades.

Mussolini miscalculated. Morally outraged, Britain and France went before the League of Nations and had sanctions imposed on Italy that were too weak to defeat her but punitive enough to insult her.

Friendless, isolated and condemned as an aggressor by Europe, Italy and Mussolini had nowhere to turn now but Hitler’s Germany.

Thus, over the fate of an Abyssinian slave empire, Britain drove her faithful World War I ally into the arms of a Nazi dictator Mussolini loathed and had wished to confront beside Britain. And Abyssinia was overrun.

Are we making the same mistake in the Caucasus?

Chesty Puller Vists LtCol Evans Carlson and His 2d Marine Raider Battalion On Guadalcanal, etc.

The Long Patrol, Pt. 3

Since we were located only a couple of miles southeast of Henderson Field, I expected that we might have several more visitors, but we had only one more: Lieutenant Colonel “Chesty” Puller, commanding officer of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines. Puller, an old friend of Carlson, arrived at the base one afternoon with jeep and driver to visit him. Inasmuch as he came aboard at the Company “B” sector, I had the pleasure of welcoming him and escorting him to Carlson’s command post, where he invited me to sit down and stay with them.

I DON’T HAVE A DOG IN THIS FIGHT: FAILED 37 YEAR WAR ON DRUGS

By Frosty Wooldridge

After the first 10 interviews with my brother Police Officer and Detective Howard Wooldridge of Lansing, Michigan (retired) concerning the “War on Drugs”, more and more Americans understand the underpinnings of how the U.S. government protracts a national taxpayer fraud. How big a fraud? Taxpayers forked over $1 trillion in 36 years paying for the impotent “War on Drugs.” Results? More drugs available, major drug networks, cheaper drugs and more potent drugs.

Yet, Americans remain oblivious while they empty their pockets of $70 billion annually to continue the Drug War fraud. Officer Howard Wooldridge talked with a man in Washington, DC.

“I have no dog in the fight.” Greg told Howard Wooldridge. “My kids are grown up and drug free. Ending modern prohibition – War on Drugs would have no impact on my life.”

Oh, really? This popular myth could not be further from reality. Prohibition constitutes the single greatest domestic policy affecting and reducing public safety, quality of life, national security just to name a few.

“According to an FBI agent I spoke with in 2004, the Agency had 2,400 full time agents looking for Willie Nelson, Whitney Houston and their suppliers on 9/11,” Howard Wooldridge said. “The Agency had 1,100 looking for terrorists. I heard Director Mueller testify this summer before the House Judiciary Committee that post 9/11; he shifted 900 of those drug agents to counter-terrorism. Better late and 3,000 dead than never.

“Of course we read in an Army War College report:

TED, MICHELLE & HILLARY: “FAMILY VALUES”

The good Lord willing, I am now in St. Paul at the Republican National Convention and to attend Ron Paul’s Rally for the Republic. It’s a bit difficult writing a ‘current’ events column with an upside down schedule, but here’s a few comments about the donkey convention in Denver before my cut off date for submission. On August 25, 2008, I watched the nauseatingly long video presentation to honor Ted Kennedy, and bear with me while I get to the point.

The Democrats love to use class warfare as one of their main propaganda tools against the Republicans. We saw this recently with the flap over Juan McCain being unable to say how many homes he and his wife own. This was immediately pounced upon by Marxist Obama’s campaign. Does it matter if McCain and his wife own one house or ten? As long as the money to make these real estate purchases was earned legally, in a free enterprise system, there is nothing wrong or immoral about being successful. Obama and his wife can choose to purchase a second home if they have the financial ability to do so. There’s no crime in achieving your goals in life. Isn’t that a big part of Obama’s spiel? Obama and his family certainly don’t live in a shack by any stretch of the imagination.

This is a deliberate strategy to manipulate the masses. McCain can’t possibly identify with middle class Americans or the poor. The useful idiots on the boob tube push it like heroin to an addict.

THE CHOICE IS SIMPLE, THE BALLOT BOX OR THE BULLET BOX

Now before you start calling people who can video tape my arrest for your misconception of what I have said in the title, please read on.

Within the next few weeks you will be witness to the most highly insulting and desperately misleading political campaigns ever seen by American citizens. It will be that way because in order to sell the presumed candidates, campaign officials and party leaders will blitz this nation with more horse dung than has EVER been thrown through the fan blades before.

How is it that 280 million legal American citizens (out of 304 million people living within our borders) can only produce the two present pitiful representatives from the dominant parties? Simple answer? Because this whole process has been pre-ordained, programmed and the outcome sealed before the campaigns ever began. If there is the slightest possibility that the directed outcome does not follow the script, then the computerized voting machines will be required to do what they were designed to do. CHEAT.

The ‘Stupidest Guy on the Planet’ Has Lots of Company

by John Taylor

During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 the soldier selected to lead the campaign, Gen. Tommy Franks, called Pentagon number-three man Doug Feith “the stupidest f*cking guy on the face of the planet.” What Feith did to be dubbed the world’s greatest fool is unknown, but it is certain that Georgia’s President Mikheil “Misha” Saakashvili’s attack on Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia has earned him the global dunce’s cap that heretofore rested on Doug Feith’s brow.

DID SOROS PICK OBAMA’S RUNNING MATE?

By Cliff Kincaid

The announcements from the left-wing Media Matters group get funnier all the time. The organization is complaining that some news outlets have accurately reported that Senator Joseph Biden, picked as Barack Obama’s running mate, was drummed out of the 1988 presidential race for plagiarism. Media Matters’ criticism of this truthful account is that Biden on some other occasions had given credit to the person he stole the words froma British politician named Neil Kinnock.

“Media outlets reported allegations Biden plagiarized Kinnock, but not that he had previously credited him,” says the Media Matters headline. This is like saying that a convicted shoplifter paid for some items before and after he was caught stealing.

Why on earth was Biden using somebody else’s words, in the context of describing his own upbringing, in the first place?

It wasn’t just a matter of using a few words. You can see a striking comparison of the Biden and Kinnock speeches here. Ironically, this website, devoted to the proper techniques of college writing, says that plagiarism “can destroy a career.” It hasn’t destroyed Biden’s.
