lol!
I could have sworn that Islamic Community Day was when Muslims went door to door in your community looking for infidels and dispatching them!? I could be wrong,...but yet..........................................
Hmmm. Islamic community center day. How interesting.
You mean Barack couldn’t even get an “attaboy” resolution through the Senate? Tough. Effective. Change you can believe in.
but he’s not a muslim. after all he was a member of the same racist anti- American church for 20 years
Oh, my. They killed this important legislation? I’ll bet Hussein Obomber was miffed. One more Islamic terrorist hideout shot to hell.
That is a nugget that deserves a larger audience. Very, very, interesting.

Obama: Disarming Americans and Our Military
Yet another story that sounds too crazy to be true, and it deeply concerns me with so many people eager to do whatever Obama says. This entry requires very little writing on my part because the videos speak for themselves.
The first video shows Obama, in his own words, expressing his desire to cut funding for our missile defense systems and to negotiate with Russia to take our ICBM’s (intercontinental ballistic missiles) off alert (our ICBM’s give us the ability of an immediate proactive/reactive missile strike to any threat where we do not have a nearby military presence - they have been a concern due to the fact that they can be armed with nuclear warheads). China, India, and in the near future, North Korea, have ICBM’s that are capable of reaching the United States. Obama also comes right out to state that he will slow our development of the Army’s future combat systems. He also plans to make deep cuts in our nuclear weapons and halt any future development. Another item which is not discussed on this video, is that Obama wants to redirect 15% of the Pentagon’s discretionary budget to welfare programs. These cuts would eliminate the F-22 Raptor, the V-22 Osprey, the Virginia class sub, the DDG-1000 destroyer, and the Army’s future combat systems.

The second video which may hit closer to home, shows Obama’s anti-gun legislative history. Obama voted against the private ownership of shotguns, rifles, and black powder rifles used primarily for home protection and hunting. He even goes so far as to vote for a total ban of the manufacturing, distribution, and possession of all handguns.

At a time when Democrats claim that America is in more danger than ever, it appears that Obama is going to do everything in his power to weaken our military and take the guns out of our homes, effectively putting our country at risk and eliminating the ability for any us to legally protect our loved ones. Is this the change you can believe in?
PS-
On a somewhat unrelated side note, check out this link to bill 90_SR0110 on the State of Illinois General Assembly’s webpage. It calls for the declaration of an Islamic Community Center Day. Seems interesting given the sponsor of the bill. Bet you can’t guess who it is.

This needs to be sent to Mark Levin and Rush!
Oh, too bad Sarah didn’t know about this! “While I was making sure the citizens of Wasilla had water and sewer and paved streets, my opponent was introducing Islamic Community Day in the legislature of Illinois...it failed.” (I can just hear her with that exquisite sense of timing.)
Line 6 says "Formally" when "Formerly" is clearly intended. Whose mistake is this? Is it possible that a Harvard educated attorney, law professor and elected representative could be so illiterate?
Hmm. The Left is making a big stink over Palin supposedly wanting to ban certain books. This resolution is about celebrating the closing of a beer and tobacco joint.
Neoprohibitionism under the guise of Mosque and State, anyone???
THIS is the only Obama bill?
bump.
Thank God he wasn't editor of the Harvard Law Review! Oh wait!
Did he introduce a "Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers Day" resolution too?
