I used to believe Obama was a Muslim. I also believed he overtly meant America harm as well as the Israelis. I didn't believe these things for bigoted reasons. I just worry about the safety of my country which ensures the safety of people of all races and ensures any hope for peace for future generations. The real problem is that Obama offers little in area of transparency. However, to be intellectually honest, I don't have a shred of proof that Obama is currently a practicing Muslim and I don't wish to spread that idea. I don't have any proof...

The murky circumstances of Obama's birth invite attempts to make the known facts fit together. This article was prompted by two e-mails. The first asked me why I had never weighed in on the birth certificate controversy surrounding President Barack Obama. I responded that although I was troubled by the lack of documentation regarding all phases of Obama's history -- I'd be content with his SAT scores -- I could not understand why any pregnant American woman would go anywhere near Kenya. The second e-mail was more interesting. It came from a Michigan entrepreneur named Don Wilkie, with whom I...

I just wondered what ever happened concerning the court martial of Lt. Col. Terry Larkin. There seems to be little or no information on the Web about it. Strange.

Jackson rips Gilbert's LeBron comments Associated Press CHICAGO -- Jesse Jackson criticized Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert on Sunday, saying Gilbert sees LeBron James as a "runaway slave" and that the owner's comments after the free-agent forward decided to join the Miami Heat put the player in danger. “ Jackson His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship -- between business partners -- and LeBron honored his contract. ” -- Rev. Jesse Jackson on Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's comments about LeBron James Shortly after James announced his...

One thing that always got on my nerves about the COEXIST bumper sticker, the one with all the religious symbols represented by letters, is that Islam was one of the religions represented. Most Muslims do not want to coexist with other religions or at least will not join the fight against the more radical and powerful elements of their religion which are very, very numerous. The very nature of Islam is repression and its members either follow Islam's edicts of conquer or get out of the way. Because of this liberal foolishness to try to unite everything and everybody without...

The one thing that is striking about Obama is his anger. It never seems to leave him. Obama is consumed by anger. You can tell when he struggles to keep his anger under control in the face of protests. His smiles are not those of warmth but of disdain or mockery. Obama's anger is a leftist anger. He's angry at America and Israel. He's also angry at the Europeans. Obama's persona is contrived in many ways. Yet something I've come to realize about Obama is that behind his narcissistic veneer is someone who may be severely damaged. Obama has been...

Some say that the accusation that Obama is a Muslim is ludicrous and bigoted. But what if it's true? It would mean that Obama has been lying all along. But why would a Muslim be afraid to disclose his faith? If one is to be a good Muslim, then many, many attitudes and behaviors that are uniquely American would have to be considered evil. He's slipped, admitting his Muslim faith and then recanted. He's stated that the call to prayer is the "prettiest sound on Earth". Obama has bowed (or was it an aborted kneel?) to the King of the...

NICE, France (Jan. 26) -- French lawmakers said Tuesday they want to ban Muslim women from veiling their faces in public facilities, a plan applauded by some French Muslim women but criticized by Muslim leaders, who said it could provoke Islamic extremists in France and abroad. A parliamentary panel convened six months ago by French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday issued a much-anticipated, 200-page report recommending that women be banned from wearing the full-face veil in public office buildings, schools, hospitals and while using mass transit. The full-face veil is viewed by many in France as a sign of extremism...

Big real estate developers do it all the time - like yesterday, when the owner of New York City's Stuyvesant Town complex decided to stop paying its $3 billion mortgage. So why are you still writing a check every month on that mortgage that's much bigger than your home is actually worth? Good question, University of Chicago economist Richard Thaler says. Thaler tells New York Times readers that it's not just alright to walk away from one's over-sized mortgage -- it may actually be a moral imperative. (An earlier Times article, by Roger Lowenstein, said much the same thing.) After...

Many of my co-workers know I'm vehemently opposed to Obama and his policies. Lately, the more liberal of my co-workers have been harping on me about how my and others' opposition to Obama and his polities is racist. I have reached my limit and I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to do what hurts liberals the most. First, I'm going to label them because they're not used to it and then I'm going to ostracize them from my personal life as they tend to feel out of place and ostracized by society anyway. Henceforth, anyone who calls...

The Tea Parties held across the nation were a great success despite the tactical mocking of the Democrats and Left-wing Mainstream Media. This Tea Party movement must continue and it is the weapon that must be wielded against the entrenched socialist interests in Washington. We will lose our Constitutional rights as we lose our economic liberties because those liberties originate naturally because of our core Constitutional rights. So, the erosion of economic liberties serves as a dire indicator or the deliberate erosion of the Constitutional foundation of our Republic. Economic liberty gives power to citizens because it grants independence from...

There is a compelling factual case to be made that the contemporary radical Left can properly be called "Neocommunist." The Hard Left is grounded in Marxist vision of creating a "new man" under a system led by a vanguard that knows best what the rest of society needs. And Neocommies behave in patterns with startling parallels to Old Communist tactics. The Neocommies are not members of a Communist Party, and are part more of a movement than a conspiracy. They are utterly different from traditional liberalism in America and Europe. Traditional liberals were democratic -- people like Hubert Humphrey, Scoop...

I know all you FReepers are concerned about this country electing Obama. He is the worst threat that I think this country has seen in some time, perhaps ever. In the past we had the luxury of knowing who our enemies were and at least not being ruled by them. There is a viceral fear that this man conjures in the minds of many patriotic, hard working people. Still others that are of this very same mold are voting for him out of a misguided goodwill. These Americans have a knowledge gap. They vaguely know about Bill Ayers being a...

(CNSNews.com) - Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is "open to the possibility" of tapping America's domestic oil and gas reserves, but it is not clear from his voting record whether he would actively push to expand offshore oil recovery efforts. On ABC's "This Week -with George Stephanopoulos," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), a McCain friend and supporter, said the Arizona Republican would be open to talking about looking for oil and gas "in our own backyard." "John McCain would allow offshore explorations, if the states consent," Graham said Sunday. Graham's statement echoed the position McCain took in response to a...

Faced with a national outcry over the high price of gasoline and soaring profits for energy companies, the oil and gas industry is waging an unusually pricey campaign to burnish its image. The American Petroleum Institute, the industry's main lobby, has embarked on a multiyear, multimedia, multimillion-dollar campaign, which includes advertising in the nation's largest newspapers, news conferences in many state capitals and trips for bloggers out to drilling platforms at sea. The intended audience is elected officials and the public, with an emphasis on the latter. The industry is trying to convince voters -- who, in turn, will make...

Barack Obama and Israel American Thinker ^ | Jan. 16, 2008 | Ed Lasky Posted on 02/22/2008 12:19:24 AM EST by TheThinker The ascent of Barack Obama from state senator in Illinois to a leading contender for the Presidential nomination in the span of just a few years is remarkable. Especially in light of a noticeably unremarkable record -- a near-blank slate of few accomplishments and numerous missed votes. However, in one area of foreign policy that concerns millions of Americans, he does have a record and it is a particularly troubling one. For all supporters of the America-Israel relationship...

The ascent of Barack Obama from state senator in Illinois to a leading contender for the Presidential nomination in the span of just a few years is remarkable. Especially in light of a noticeably unremarkable record -- a near-blank slate of few accomplishments and numerous missed votes. However, in one area of foreign policy that concerns millions of Americans, he does have a record and it is a particularly troubling one. For all supporters of the America-Israel relationship there is enough information beyond the glare of the klieg lights to give one pause. In contrast to his canned speeches filled...

Lou Dobbs alert: Illegal immigrants may get rebates In their bipartisan zeal to quickly cut a deal on an economic stimulus bill, GOP lawmakers overlooked something that will certainly inflame the conservative base _ illegal immigrants could receive a tax rebate check from the government. But late Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee was scrambling to fix the problem _ contained in the House bill _ by only allowing taxpayers using legitimate Social Security numbers to receive rebates. The text of the House passed bill contains language making "non resident aliens" _ illegal immigrants _ ineligible for the tax rebates. But...

Among the 2008 presidential field, all but two of the Republican candidates -- Sen. John McCain and Fred Thompson -- have made a written commitment to the American people promising to oppose and veto income tax increases. McCain signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge as a candidate for president in 2000, and has signed and kept the pledge as a senator. For two decades, Americans for Tax Reform has asked all presidential and federal candidates to commit to their constituents, in writing, to oppose any and all efforts to raise income taxes. On the presidential level, every Republican nominee since Ronald...
