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

Just like all those black church burnings in Arkansas that never happened. The Libtards always project their own secret beliefs and urges on everyone else. It's part of their psychosis.
LOL!!!!
Interesting piece on Taqiyya. I guess my simplistic way of putting it would be to say people employing it are scumbags, or worse.
Well, the way you put it works for me! :)
It won't be long before he talks about remembering the burning of mosques when he was a youngster.
The verdict is still out on this one. It may very well be that there can be no peaceful coexistence with Islam and the modern world. At that point, deportation may be our only humane option. Either that or face bloody civil war as in Kosovo. It seem like once the Muslims reach the critical mass of around ten percent of a population, the mayhem and murder begins. This has been repeated everywhere it has occurred. I can't think of even a single exception. So there you have your answer.
Even in the heated time just after 9/11 Muslim families were not rounded up. I’m not sure what a Democrat president would have done given the precedent set by Roosevelt.
—John McCain will beat this guy...just watch...—
McCain is lucky if he gets to November without suffering an MI!
Many Thanks for your kind compliments. I hope you will visit often and pass the link around - much of what I write about is never mentioned in the MSM and I think the American people need to get the facts.
Oh the MSM does read my blog - Its funny to Google and see how many people are quoting almost verbatim from what you said without attributing it to you - but what I find even more irritating is how they will cherry pick from what you write. The CNN "debunk" was one that got me riled and only because it was so biased. To this day I'm still surprised that Americans never asked what the school was like THEN and not what it is supposedly like NOW.
Yes Moran's comments on how Muslims elsewhere see the potential of an Obama presidency was completely off the mark. And not to blow my own horn, but I think of all things that would be one area where I knew a hell of a lot more than Moran knew on the subject.
When I questioned Moran about it in an email he really knocked me back with his abuse and arrogance. I've never received an email from another blogger like that.
Even now he doesn't have the courage to reply.
We underestimate him at our peril. Stay alert!
He's simply getting ahead of himself. He's mentally preparing for the riots he plans to cause if he doesn't win the nomination. Kenya is the blueprint. CHANGE IS NOTHING BUT A CODEWORD FOR REVOLUTION.
Someone who gets it about Kenya. And it was one of our best FReepers. Odinga’s installation as a “co-president” is the foreshadowing of what libs want in the US. Be informed! Don’t sit out the election because you’re mad at the Republicans!
thanks, obama is the dream of the islamists:

America is being fooled by Barak Hussein Obama!!

Here is the truth about Mr. Obama’s name, and his father’s ancestors:
True Negro tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father’s decision to name him with an Arabic name is a matter of his father establishing his ethnic identity in Africa - it is done deliberately to separate him from the African tribes. He may live among them, but he is not one of them. His father’s message is that he is Arabic, not Negro.
Many will find these truths unsettling. I’m often asked, “But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?”
The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father’s name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father’s side. They are all Arabic.
Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time Shiite, not Sunni, as in nineteenth century Sudan.
But telling America’s black community that while their ancestors were breaking the shackles of slavery, Mr. Obama’s ancestors were placing those shackles upon their wrists would hardly play as an Oprah Winfrey best-seller.
Being the son of a poor Kenyan goat-herder plays much better than being the son of a highly placed Arab-African who operated at the top of the Kenyan government following his education at Columbia. You see, even the way he portrays his father is a lie...
whoops! posted it twice...never mind, better twice than never!
CHANGE!
NO OBAMA NO PEACE!

FReeper backhoe’s post in case you missed it!
Clinton did not even bother to use IF “I remember when I was young in Arkansas the burning of the Black churches”. Clinton had the class to lie with a straight face and not use weasel words like “If I saw the burning”
