Obama: Arab-American Families Being Rounded Up?
By Lance Fairchok
"If there is an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties. It is that fundamental belief, I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work." - Senator Barack Obama
In a televised twelve-second campaign spot aired in Texas, Senator Obama gives a stirring speech to a standing ovation. It is the predictable litany of American faults he will miraculously correct: literacy, expensive prescription drugs and insufficient civil liberties. However, he seems particularly concerned for Arab-Americans. "If there is an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties."
This was an astonishing statement, an infuriating statement and a statement that speaks volumes to Obama's ideology.
Arab-American families being rounded up would not only threaten all our civil liberties, it would raise such a universal outcry, it could not long endure. Even the suggestion it could occur is a profound insult to our nation and our citizenry. It is an image of the gulag, the death camp, the dictatorship, and so inappropriate in any discussion about America, it is beneath our contempt.
Perhaps the Senator is carried away by his remarkable political ascendancy and so emboldened by the lack of critical comment in the press, he believes he can say anything. Perhaps he believes he has so mesmerized us with his oratory that we will not catch the inference of his words. Perhaps he really believes that we are that kind of country, that our people do not cherish civil liberty sufficiently to defend it for all citizens.
This despicable image of innocent families imprisoned and the ethnic cleansing it suggests is a theme the radical left nurtures. It is by design intended to portray an unjust and intolerant people, it was no error, no misstatement. It elicits moral outrage with false assumptions, endlessly repeating those assumptions until believed. It is behind the exaggeration of everything the U.S. does in the war on terror or against Islamic extremism. It is behind the hysteria over the Patriot Act.
As divorced from truth as it is, it is found everywhere in the propaganda of the left, from the Bush-Hitler signs, to the fabrications of American military wrongdoing in the press, to the invented Islamophobia in our populace. It is the motivation behind Michael Moore, Code Pink, MoveOn.Org and George Soros. It is unfortunately the message the media aids and abets.
This moral contrariness gives us American "progressives" embracing dictators and terrorists such as Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Iran's Ahmedinejhad and Syria's Bashar al Assad. It finds equivalence between defending America and Al Qaeda and Hezbollah terrorism. It believes malevolent evil can actually be stopped with dialogue and compromise. It gravitates to a miserable "better red than dead" nihilism that allows no pride or faith in America. It excuses our enemies and indicts everything American. It is the impenitent legacy of the Carter and Clinton administrations. It is illogical and irrational and a road to failure and catastrophe.
"I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work." Yet, he also says that our country does not work, that we need change. Even as he wraps this contradiction in biblical allusion and positive words like "Hope" and "Change We Can Believe In" his underlying belief system surfaces in clues overlooked by his handlers.
The bleak fantasy of Arab-American families interned for being Arabs and, of course, for being Muslim is very plausible to the radicals that help write his speeches. Senator Obama holds a wretched America in his heart, a country he has no pride in nor wishes to preserve. If his vision starts from failure, where will it end? There is no truth in his words, just as there is no substance. One may speak well, but still speak lies. An Obama presidency would be a disaster.
The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil. - Cicero

Senator, just how many Arab-American families have been “rounded up” in your lifetime?
John McCain will beat this guy...just watch...
Not enough, but its never to early to get started.
An astonishing notion indeed.
Islamist to the core, whether he claims to be Christian or not.
Animals in the zoo have keepers. Does an adult, sane human need one?
No, what God was asking Cain was, why did you murder your brother? And Cain didn't have a good reply, so he asked God if he was his brother's keeper. And God never said that he was.
Read it for yourself.
Genesis 4
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." [d] And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
If I was Ms. Clinton or Mr. McCain, I would immediately demand a detailed listing of each and every “Arab-American” family which has been summarily “rounded up” in this country in the last 232 years.
My guess is this list will have 0 (zero) names on it.
“If there is an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties.”
Obama, even if they overstayed a Visa?
You missed the weasel word “IF” ...
See Luke 19:8 and Zaccheus the tax collector:
Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, AND IF I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much.”
The is was in a texas ad, so Obama is more than likely pandering to the Latinos. Its an obvious arrest and deportation reference
“If there is an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties. It is that fundamental belief, I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work.” - Senator Barack Obama
Only as slick as we allow him to be. In reality, he's a deceiver comfortable in the knowledge that the media, at least thus far, will ignore reality.
Excellent piece by Fairchok, he nailed Obama to a tee. BO plays on the fears of the uninformed and rallies the moonbats.
I’ve referred to him as an empty suit in the past, I’ll never do it again. An empty suit is a bumbler, BO knows exactly what he’s doing.
“rounding up”?
LOL
Who? Where?
Show me Obama.
Show me even ONE example.
Obama = crypto Muslim
Obama = semi Muslim
Obama = virtual Muslim
Obama = defacto Muslim
Obama is “getting his stupid on”. Why would he mention soething like this? It only raises the matter of his heritage which is not helful in this case.
Hell, I have previously stated quite strongly that I would NEVER vote for McCain no matter what (because I think he is insane), but if/when THIS A—hole gets the Democrat nomination, I may have to change my mind.
Better a pro-American “mad-man” in the Oval office (the worst he is likely to do is nuke some country that probably needs it anyway), than an “Arab-first”, National Socialist, slicky-boy who will enthusiastically forfeit our nation’s sovereignty to an alien culture.
The more I see, hear and learn about Mr. Obama the more I fear for my country’s survival if he achieves the highest office in the land.
That’s the root of the problem. We are supposed to be responsible for ourselves...to be our own keepers.
Socialists want to be everyone’s keepers. They want to be responsible for others and have others be responsible for them.
