Thanks G76. On the Dhimmicrat side, it’s a race between Wahhabi and Al-Qaeda, with an all-American ambulance chaser coming in third.

Everyone, have a great day!

"You should be proud of your Muslim legacy," wrote Mallat. "Make it a central plank of your campaign.."

I couldn't agree more. ...with the last part, at least. Take that advice, Barack -- make your Muslim heritage the focus of your campaign.

(But wait until after you win the Dem nomination).

Slavery was officially “abolished” last among Gulf Arabs during the 1950s-1970s. If you leave the cities & go deep inside the desert communities, you will still see small-scale slavery. In the cities, there are many indentured servants from various countries, who are beaten, abused, & in some cases executed at will. Slavery or not, Middle Easterners look down on blacks (that’s putting it lightly, frankly) & unlike westerners, aren’t ashamed to express it in public.

REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT: Pastor inspires Obama's 'audacity'. LINK.

...An encounter with a pastor as he loitered on some church steps reminded Wright of his calling. He eventually returned to Howard University to finish bachelor's and master's degrees in English with a focus on African spirituals. At the University of Chicago Divinity School, he earned another master's in the history of religions with a focus on Islam. He planned to earn a doctoral degree his Ph.D. and teach at a seminary. ---------

The same MO as mohammad. Learn all you can, plagiarize, start you own cult. And find a new 'prophet' - here comes Obama!

Wright discovers his calling while 'loitering on some church steps'? Obama has an epiphany on his way down the aisle?

I'm an aussie. I can smell CULT from here.

From left to right, Michelle Obama, then Illinois state senator Barack Obama, Columbia University Professor Edward Said and Mariam Said at a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Edward Said gave the keynote speech. (Image from archives of Ali Abunimah)

...Ali Abunimah is a well-known Chicago-based activist for Palestinian causes. He has a harshly anti-Israel attitude. He has also written that he had met Obama about half a dozen times at various Palestinian and Arab-American events, including a May 1998 community fundraiser at which the late Edward Said was the keynote speaker (there is a photo of Said with Senator Obama and his wife).

Edward Said was a severe critic of Israel; he developed a school of study about the Middle East based on denunciation of so-called "Orientalism" that has influenced many Middle Eastern professors to take an anti-Israel view. The entire field of Middle Eastern studies has been so corrupted that Congress has raised an alarm about federal funding going to professors with an anti-American, anti-Israel agenda. These are the ideological heirs of Edward Said.

...largely thanks to Said's influence, those American academics who once devoted themselves to the scholarly study of the Middle East were replaced by a new cohort who devoted themselves to the denunciation of the United States and the celebration of America's enemies.

If the United States was caught unawares on 9/11, Edward Said's name belongs high on the list of those responsible.

Said based both his academic work and his political advocacy upon his identity as a Palestinian refugee. He often told the story of his birth in Jerusalem and his family's loss of its house in that city during the war that began (as Said seldom mentioned) when six Arab armies attacked Israel after it declared its independence in 1948.

Said's claims turn out to be less than fully true, as Justus Weiner demonstrated in a lengthy article in the September 1999 issue of Commentary. Said's family's principal residence was Cairo, and it was in that city that Said was born and raised. Said's wealthy father, an American citizen, sometimes sent the young Said to Jerusalem to visit relatives, and Said may even have attended school there for a time, but the image Said created for himself as (in Weiner's phrase) the "avatar of Palestinian suffering" was almost purely bogus...

The further it goes, the more sordid it gets...

"Democrats, in particular, must quietly feel glad that the days of the Birmingham Barons and Bull Connor are behind the party."

I don't think I've ever read a newspaper story that mentioned democrats' racist past.

Some day soon the Islamofascist cultural evolution in the USA is going to be a Titanic hitting its proverbial iceberg. This election could very well be that iceberg moment in history. I certainly hope so.

I am not saying that he should be disqualified from the presidency because of that, but we can’t ignore that factor eithe

I will stand up and say that that DOES disqualify him - or anyone else of Muslim heritage - from holding the office of the presidency. Islam by it's self-declared nature is anathema to everything the democratic West embraces in philosophy and policy.

And I'm also disturbed that Obama spent a good share of his formative years living OUT of the United States. This contradicts the spirit - if not the letter - of the Constitutional requirement that a president be "native born". I believe the framers intent was that a person qualified to become president be born AND raised "as an American". In those times, the fact that you were born here almost guaranteed that you were raised here, as well.

That's my opinion, and I realize others' may be different.

I agree with you. Obama is running for the presidency. The trajectory of our nation is to establish and promote democracy and freedom through trade and by example. Freedom is the natural state of man according to our philosophy for over 200 years.

Obama's conduct in Kenya, as a Senator, in supporting his cousin, Odinga, to attempt to bring Kenya entire under Sharia Law shows that he does not believe freedom to be the natural state of man, but rather submission of freedom to Islam,and in its place the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, revenge ideology of a faith which hates democracy. This also means no presumption of innocence until proven guilty, no trial by jury, none of the constitutional protections set out in the Bill of Rights of our constitution.No stare decisis in law, no right to a speedy trial, no right to confront your accusers with evidence, no due process, the list goes on and on.

I'd say that disqualifies Obama as a candidate for the presidency, and also disqualifies him from his senate seat. He swore to uphold the constitution of the USA. In supporting Islamofascism, he has violated his oath of office, and should be summarily turfed out of his seat in the Senate.

Most people do not yet have a grasp of the facts that support this conclusion, and I have been repeatedly called racist for my views. It has nothing to do with Obama's race, but it has to do with his patriotism.

These facts are readily available to anyone who can spend a few minutes reading them:
