The nation's first serious black candidate for president should be outraged that al-Qaida would try to exploit African-Americans for the terror cause. Oddly, he's not.
Osama bin Laden's deputy last week made a sinister pitch to blacks in the U.S., and Barack Obama shrugged.
Al-Qaida's Ayman al-Zawahri earlier this month courted blacks by frequently invoking Malcolm X, aka Al-Hajj Malik al-Shabazz, a past leader of the Nation of Islam.
Shamelessly, al-Zawahri encouraged blacks to join al-Qaida's holy war against the American "oppressor," and sacrifice their blood against "injustice" like the "struggler and martyr" Malcolm X.
He noted that the Muslim civil-rights leader condoned "violent" methods to help win equality for blacks, while implying that blacks today are still oppressed.
Obama could have stood up and blunted the effect of such a dastardly appeal by saying he's proof positive blacks aren't oppressed. But he didn't.
Obama also could have pointed out that hundreds of African-Americans were murdered by Muslim terrorists on 9/11, and that we are all in this battle against Islamic terrorism together. But he didn't. He stayed silent. Why?

I feel your pain. I mention things like these at work regarding Obama and hid shady past. I’ve been referred to as the “conspiracy theory” guy. Some people just won’t see the truth or they won’t believe it.

But Obama stayed at Trinity for 7 more years.
Ah Yes Trinity.
Where the two biggest bombs ever produced in America were tested.

“....holy crap! i thought it was new. first i heard it. scary stuff. i swear this man is a terrorist mole. i know, i know. my friends all look at me like i need a straight jacket too. but name one, just one person this man pals around with that aint a terrorist, racist, or marxist?! the msm is no better, they have aided this man....”
There are millions of us who are jumping up and down screaming to no avail. I have never seen anything like the 0bama hold on so many otherwise normal people. Hold do you break the spell?

God I hope you realize what you just posted.
What a way to cut short your posting privileges.
To: Brown Deer
Obama didn't blow anything. Blowing means you did something you don't or didn't want to do. He wanted this to happen. Does anyone know how many Blacks convert to Islam while doing time in prison?? I think everyone would be very surprised. I know a prison guard who says it's a constant happening. Blacks are mad as hell at the justice system they think is mainly run by the good ol’ boy white club. Do a little investigation on your own on line. You will see what I mean.

I think minutestolive is referring to another Ronald Reagan showing his face and wisdom to the conservatives in this country. I'm sure he wasn't insinuating to anything illegal.

the worst part, some peeps that think i have lost it are republicans! they are not going to vote for obama, but they will do little to spread the word, because i am “out there” and need to “settle down”. HELL i am settled, considering lol. used to think if the media did its job, we would not be this close to a obama president, but then they did a fair amount of coverage (cnn and a few) if you look at youtube when hillary was running against him. guess what? nothing. now they are on the obama band wagon. fools all of them! fear? love? or loathing? aint sure, but they are silent now.

Perhaps a Patriot will come along and take matters into his own hands. This guy:

Well, maybe. However it let itself open to too many ill intrepretations which FR doen’t need to be associated with. Hopefullly minutestolive will clarify what he mean.
People are too loose with language concerning presidents and “actions” and I am very uncomfortable with that.
To: MinutesToLive
Well I see your visit with us on FR will be a short one.
Say Hello to your friends on DU and KOs.

dont know! i just keep jumping up and down screaming!
here is a thought i had, but dont know if it would work? SO we create a website that APPEARS in title anyway to be obama neutral or friendly. we could just walk and drop. OR when walking and knocking for mccain, if some one says they are for obama, smile nice and say great! here! stick them in windshields. heck, i dont know! but keep it vague so they want to look. then have links at the website. at least SOME would “get it”. if some body aint home, leave it in their door! if not, ill go back to jumping up and down and screaming lol.
To: MinutesToLive
And yet something about the idea tickles your black hearts... Are you trying to make sport of us? If you are, go back to storm front.

I think minutestolive just clarified what he really nmeans.
To: blackbart.223
“It may be nothing more than he is an over ambitious piece of shit politician that merits neither respect or recognition. In any case he is dangerous.”
Heck, the U. S. Presidency to Obama is just a stopover on his way to U.N. General Secretary of the New World Order.

“He is a mole. And I’m not kidding. The guy was raised to do what he’s doing.”
My thoughts EXACTLY for at least a couple of months now....
