From patriot to man of faith
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | Salena Zito

Posted on 07/01/2008 5:23:44 AM PDT by Salena Zito

Sen. Barack Obama did patriotism yesterday, today it is faith and by the end of the day both speeches will have been done in back-to-back states that swing: Missouri and Ohio.

The Obama campaign said the Illinois senator plans to go to Zanesville, located in eastern Ohio, to visit a church program that provides food and clothing assistance to those in need.

Obama really has a thing for these ‘not open to the public’ events.

Good opportunity for his campaign team to pick and choose the right demographics to serve as human backdrops for Barack, as he recites Axelrodisms and poses for pictures looking serious, thoughtful, compassionate, contemplative and all the other things Presidential.

His distancing of himself from MoveOn is about as convincing as his distancing of himself from Rev. Wright and his distancing of himself from Islam.

Excuse me, but most patriots I know don't spend 20 years of Sunday morning choosing to hear their pastor call for God's damnation on the United States.

It's all more total and complete PR BS.

That's all Obama’s campaign has ever been. It's all Obama’s life has ever been.

When you get past all the fluffy rhetoric that is supposed to make Barack Hussein Obama look like the political version of John F Kennedy, and actually do some research on the guy, you find that he is the most far left senator in Congress today.

Intelligent people should be concerned at Obama’s eagerness to drop a daisy cutter on countries who are helping us in the war on terror while offering to spoon with leaders of belligerent nations where the words “Death to America” .

One of the most common anecdotes that both Obama’s cite as proof that America is unfair, is the fact that they had to pay back their student loans. First of all, this very complaint is ridiculous on its face. Michelle Obama went to Princeton while Barack Hussein Obama went to Columbia. Both of them did their post graduate study and earned degrees from Harvard as well. These are some of the most insanely expensive schools on the planet. The cost of being educated at these three institutions is roughly equal to the price of a really nice, suburban house that is not unlike the one that crime lord Tony Rezko helped set Barack and his wife up in.

This is consistent with “Pro-Choice” liberals who want public funding for in utero murders but don’t believe in options when it conflicts with their message. By channeling kids away from many private institutions and into the classrooms of Ward Churchill clones they will help create a generation that believes capitalism is unfair, socialism is good, competition is for warmongering Nazis, God is dead, and the Government should take care of you from birth until that fateful “progressive” day that Washington has the power to decide when your number is up. In other words they will come out more dim-witted then when they went in. Being the advocate for this sort of stupidity is audacious indeed.

Let him speak. Every time he does, he says something new and strange.

Irish, I am reading a book called the "Dark Side of Camelot". Anybody that thinks Kennedy was a good president needs to read the book. Kennedy was a corrupt, egotistical womanizing jerk with all the depth of a mud puddle.

"The Obama campaign said the Illinois senator plans to go to Zanesville, located in eastern Ohio"

What, he couldn't find a place in Ohio named Faithville or Bibleburgh to go to in Ohio to talk about God?

As a matter of fact, Senator Obama, I AM QUESTIONING YOUR PATRIOTISM!

When you sit at the feet of a “minister” who damns America for 20 years, I QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.

When you establish and nurture relationships with people like Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist, who is on recored as saying “Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon”, I QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.

When you stand with politicians and prevent this nation from securing its own sources of energy, and thus become energy-independent, I QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.

When you publicly declare “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction” and say nothing about standing with our armed forces who are sacrificing themselves to defend our way of life, I QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.

Go ahead....Senator, or anyone else on this planet...refute this if you can !

Barack Hussein Obama is not a patriot.

I don’t know about that but I do know that Michelle Obama talked about how Barack loves bacon when she was on the View. She said it twice.

What an excellent question! Never thought of that! We must bring dogs to meet him at all times! Americans love their dogs.....oh, what a great angle! Encourage his celebrity friends to bring their dogs to meet him...and their pot bellied pigs as well...

Having a dog as a pet is prohibited in Islam. In fact, if a Muslim keeps a dog as a pet God will take away some heavenly reward for his good deeds!

Thanks, sending it to al-Sahab. I’m sure it doesn’t breach taqiyya moving towards the caliphate though. Anything goes.
