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

Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not the way Obama wishes to be percieved. In other words, Obama prefers to be identified as an African-American, something he clearly is not.
By picking Arab-Americans, it particularly raises the question about is Barak Hussein Obama more Arab than African. It seems his dad was classified "Arab African" by the Kenyan government
..because, by ethnicity, BARACK HUSSEIN is an arab! (Not that there's anything wrong with that...LOL! But BARACK HUSSEIN is also a muslim as well, and that makes him the HOPE for CHANGE to every muslim in the world.)
YES WE CAN! HOPE! CHANGE!
from the link:The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his fathers name, and the names of all his ancestors on his fathers side. They are all Arabic.
and to an arab or a muslim anywhere, that is all that counts. Who cares about the female line? Islam doesn't give a damn.
Thanks!!
Yep, that Luo tribesman has been promulgating disruption in Kenya for two years. And Obama went over in 2006 to campaign for him. That’s why he was wearing the Somali getup that’s been in the news (and that was the real story of the photo, too). His loyalties are not to the US!
I bet you've seen this!
they have a draem! They have a deram!
I don’t know. Even LGF didn’t pick it up. I’m sure you know about the MOU between Odinga and the ‘slamists in Kenya. It’s really scary stuff, but my posts here have gone unremarked. People have their heads in the sand about Africa. It’s a really dangerous place for Christians, and the Christians don’t deserve to be ignored; they will end up like their cousins in Darfur. It’s stunning!
Darfur is the muslim MO. The entire western world will be Darfur if islam wins.
..like lambs to slaughter...over ten million germans lost their lives for their ‘saviour’...
Every revolution eats it’s own, remember?
I appreciate the input you've both offered on this thread.
It has quite frankly surprised me that there are freepers who think it's a mistake to expose the truth about Obama. They suggest it's better to go after him on his liberalism, his lack of experience and so forth.
I say hogwash, expose him for the wolf in sheeps clothing that he truly is. He is not just another liberal, he is far more dangerous than that.
Thanks. Fred runs circles around me with this stuff, though. He’s a treasure!
Is that a KOOL AID sign behind him? LOLOL!!!
Oh he’s standing on a Koolaid truck with Koolaid in his hand! Great work!!!
HOPE! CHANGE! KOOLAID! YES WE CAN!!!
(Pathetic, isn't it.)
thanks, but the real treasure is Beckwith! Can you imagine how many hours of hard work and research resulted in this:
