Senator Obama recently gave us a disturbing foretaste of the contradictory doublespeak we could expect under an Obama presidency.
Last week, a deeply disturbed young man went on a criminal rampage at Northern Illinois University, murdering several innocent people before taking his own life.
Mr. Obama spoke out last Friday about the tragic event, and exposed the crucial disconnect between his rhetoric and his politics.
Speaking of his determination to do "whatever it takes" to end gun violence, Mr. Obama acknowledged that the Second Amendment secures an citizen's right to keep and bear arms.
Noting that some argue that the Second Amendment only grants state governments the power to arm National Guard units, Mr. Obama said he rejected that view in favor of the widely held belief that the Second Amendment...
--snip--
A right that the government can completely take away at any time is no right at all.
To say that the Second Amendment means you can own guns, but that the city where you live can ban all gun ownership, means you have no Second Amendment rights at all.
Last week I wrote that I have never in my lifetime seen a major presidential candidate whose rhetoric is so far removed from his policy record. Little did I know that he would give me a perfect illustration of that point the very next day. This is what Americans can expect from a President Obama. He'll wax eloquent about your rights, but then say government can take away whatever part of them — or all of them — that it wants.
It's a disturbing pattern that's starting to emerge in Mr. Obama when he announces a principle or a goal, but then endorses policies that are the exact opposite. It's political doublespeak. It's Orwellian. In fact, it's Clintonian...

Yeah, but he's a genuine phony.
All that does not matter. He speaks of hope and change. All this adoration makes me realize how Hilter or Idi Amin got into power.
This B. Hussein Obama is not only a phony, he is dangerous.
He’s waiting to get Mercado and he already has some ‘unoffical’ folks on his campaign.
I wonder if the Clintons realize that he has ‘out Clintoned’ the Clintons so to speak.
Will they fawn and applaud at the loss of the freedoms given to us by our forefathers? This muslim is dangerous. He has no love or patriotism for this country. He only wants to destroy what has has contempt for, freedom.... GOD help us....
Take a look at this video I linked from Rush's website. It is frightening.

“All this adoration makes me realize how Hilter or Idi Amin got into power.”
EXACTLY!! Hitler was a charismatic orator, too. Look what happened to Germany!
“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
He’s quoting the old Soviet constitution. That constitution “guaranteed” more civil rights than ours. That is, until you got to one specific article that said something like “all these rights can be trumped in the interests of the state.” So in practice they really had no rights against the state at all.
Obama seems to follow that reasoning. Like Lenin and Stalin...
I love Ken Blackwell!
Obama’s theme song:
Cult of personality..
I feel faint.....
bump for later reading.
He is 1000 times more honest than Hillary. That is all I have to say on issue of Honesty.
Double plus ungood, comrade.
Best paper in NYC.
Hillary said she supports 2A also. They all do.
But The Beast and Obama-rama each score an F by the NRA. I believe McCain scores a C+.
hope and change inspire change and hope and I’m the only candidate saying yes you can hope for change and change for hope and you need someone that has not been in the atmosphere of non change and hope because their hope has changed into desperation and I promise the hope to change.
That is an easy to understand promise, nothing empty or convoluted about that. heheheheh you think they bought that Michelle?
