Since when did it become inappropriate or taboo to use an individual's given name when referring to him or her in a political debate or forum? Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. that is the full name, of Presidential hopeful Senator Obama. That is a fact, which as much as the Obama camp wishes to do so, can't be denied or glossed over.
So now middle names have been added to the long list of PCs do's and don'ts.
Then there is the mysterious leaked photo, which shows Senator Obama in some sort of ceremonial robes, reminiscent of the clothing associated with the Middle East. Again this photo is real and, as of yet, has not been attacked as a forgery or having any manipulation done it. Now who leaked the photo is speculative, depending on whose side you are on. Hillary Clinton and the McCain camp deny any direct knowledge and I tend to believe them. I have my own theory that it might just have been the Obama political machine itself. It is a proven method of diffusing a potentially embarrassing fact, by getting it out yourself and then playing the victim or martyr by accusing your opponent of unfair and dirty tricks. I may be wrong but that is my take on the photo fiasco.
Either way, the facts are just that "facts". If Senator Obama intends to be the next leader of the Free World, he should not fear the truth and neither should his supporters. So lets not add to the already brimming book and burden of the PC police.
Yup, they’ve always use middle names. Examples, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight David Eisenhower, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, George Herbert Walker Bush. Of course, more recently we’ve had Dubya Bush, John Benedict Arnold McCain and John F’n Kerry. Not a thing wrong with using full names.
“...Obama served on the Wood’s Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971...”

Vastly Illuminating,
This review is from: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover) I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book. It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia. Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding. This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air. |
Homing in on security as Obama's weakness
Has links to Hillarys new campaign ad ...
They used it first, and now blame it on conservatives.
Thanks Fred Nerks and Ernest at the Beach for the pings etc.
