What a careful reader will take away from Barack Obama’s memoir Dreams of My Father is not only that the president used to eat dog meat, but more importantly, that he identifies with dog-eaters. He wants us to understand that he is one of them. Obama’s most severe critics on the right think of Obama as a socialist, for example, Dinesh d’Souza, or Stanley Kurtz in his exhaustively-researched book Radical-in-Chief. Obama used to attend the annual “Socialist Scholars Conference” in New York, which was a hard-core affair; I went to a couple of them, and they weren’t for the curious. But there is something far more visceral, more existential to the president’s dislike of the United States, and that arises from his early residence in the Third World, and his identification with the people of the Third World whose lives are disrupted by the creative destruction that America has unleashed.
Obama is the son of a Kenyan Muslim father, the stepson of an Indonesian Muslim, and the child, most of all, of an American anthropologist who devoted her career to protecting Indonesian traditional life against the depredations of the global marketplace. Her doctoral dissertation, “Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: surviving against all odds,” celebrated traditional cultures hanging on desperately in the face of the global economic marketplace.
Ms. Dunham was not only a Communist fellow-traveler, but the sort of 1960s woman who (as we used to say) “put her body on the line,” first by marrying two Third World men, and then by spending her career in the Third World. It is no surprise that Obama considers the Third World morally superior to the United States.

According to the cult leader himself, his dog ALWAYS rode on top of the car (“He scrambled up there every time we went on trips,” Mr. Romney said. “He got it all by himself and enjoyed it.”), that is ridiculous.
From wikipedia: The Massachusetts American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) stated that Romney’s actions may have been illegal under Massachusetts law, though the statute of limitations has passed. Ingrid Newkirk, the president of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has labeled the incident as animal cruelty and torture.[5] According to Russell Cummings, a professor of aerospace engineering at California Polytechnic State University, Seamus could have had around three pounds (ten pounds per square foot) of air pressure pressing against his head during the trip. Cummings’ wife, a veterinarian, said that she was worried that the air flow could cause fatigue and dehydration of the eyes.[6]
And this disputes the political families account from the lying, pro-abortion, Ann Romney.

Excerpted below: “Mitt Romney may not have told the whole truth about the scandalous tale of his Irish Setter, Seamus, being strapped to the roof of his car during a 12-hour [650miles] family road trip to Canada. According to a trusted Politicker tipster, two of Mr. Romney’s sons had an off-record conversation with reporters where they revealed the dog ran away when they reached their destination on that infamous journey in 1983.
Mr. Romney’s wife, Ann, has previously said Seamus survived the trip and went on to live to a “ripe old age.” As of this writing, Mr. Romney’s campaign has not responded to multiple requests for comment on this story. “
(snip)
““He scrambled up there every time we went on trips,” Mr. Romney said. “He got it all by himself and enjoyed it.”
Mr. Romney and his wife clearly want the world to think that, despite defecating himself, Seamus had a pleasant trip to Canada and a long life in the Romney household. However, based on what Mr. Romney’s sons allegedly told reporters about Seamus going on the lam in Canada, Seamus didn’t like being strapped to the car enough to stick around for the return trip.”
Please don’t equate a dog in a kennel on top of a car to a dog on your dinner plate! snap out of it!
Everyone has seen dog’s with their heads sticking out of moving vehicles,ear’s flopping and loving every minute of it.
Dog’s on dinner plates? not so much!
Snap out of it man.
A business executive putting a dog in a cage on the roof of a car for a 650 mile trip that makes the dog sick, and grossing out the family, and then he hoses the dogs cage and the dog himself, and continues down the freeway on a 12 hour cross country trip with the dog wet and ill, is a sick SOB.
A 10 year old boy in Indonesia sampling dog meat from a food stand at the instruction of his Indonesian step father, what is that supposed to mean?
Inflammatory you certainly are, and you're also trying to provoke emotional responses. It sounds like to you a troll is just somebody who dares to disagree with you or just somebody who gets in the way of your anti-Mormon tirades.
Romney will be the nominee. Some people with impeccable conservative credentials support him. He's not my favorite politician and he wouldn't be my first choice for President, but when I see things that strike me as distorted or biased I do sometimes respond.
When you think of all the things we don't know about Obama, all the things the press doesn't report, and then hearing about this dog story over and over and over again -- do you really want to be a part of that? All the feigned outrage from people who are against Romney for other reasons?
A half-remembered incident from a generation ago, from a time when kids cycled without helmets and rode in cars without special car seats, disqualifies someone for the presidency?
10 year old Trayvon Obama eating man's best friend, you like !
Sampling dog meat, how dignified /s
You are trying to promote Mitt Romney on freerepublic.
I don’t get it, but you aren’t very good at it.
You are definitely a lying troll.
A troll is someone who gets on a conservative, anti-Romney site, and devotes themselves to promoting Romney, while trying to keep from being zotted.
A reminder for those who are not receiving the message:
Romney is a pathological compulsive liar. Lie after lie papered over with more lies. Doesn’t even flinch when caught in bald faced lies, simply tells another big whopper to cover up or dodge the issue. Funny thing, the man actually seems to believe his own latest lies and simply ignores the glaring record of his past actions/lies. And you have true blue establishment elite RINO Republicans like Karl Rove enabling and backing up his lies. Their motivation is simply to hang on to power (and riches) any way they can.
I’ve stated many times since Romney started running for the presidency way back when that I’d never vote for him and I will not. He cannot lie his way out of his decades long record of support for abortion, Roe v Wade, planned parenthood, gay rights, gun control, global warming, amnesty, liberal judges, big government, compulsory or socialized health care (RomneyCommieCare), mandates, Keynesian economics, support and approval of TARP, bailouts, stimulus packages, i.e, every damn liberal progressive issue that comes down the pike.
C’mon. These are the reasons the tea party sprang up and the reasons he and Rove loathe the tea party and our tea party conservative candidates. Romney famously expressed his loathing for Reagan-Bush conservatism several years ago when he was trying to run to the left of Ted Kennedy and now he’s cloaking himself in Reagan conservatism, knowing full well that it’s a lie, but he knows it’s the only way he can possibly win, er buy the Republican nomination.
Screw Romney!! I absolutely will not support or vote for a proven compulsive liar with a known record of abortion and big government socialism, liberal appointments, etc. He still lies about RomneyCommieCare today. Calls it a “conservative solution.” Get real!!
Listen to what Ronald Reagan had to say about the elites pushing socialism on America via compulsory health insurance:
Ronald Reagan speaks out against RomneyCommieCare
There will be no campaign for this Massachusetts liberal liar on FR!!
Damn the libs and RINOS, full steam ahead!!
Karl Rove a "true blue establishment elite RINO Republican"?
Like Nelson Rockefeller or Henry Cabot Lodge?
If Rove is the Establishment or the Elite, then the Establishment or Elite is already dead.
Do you prefer the politics of Jim Robinson and freerepublic, or those of Karl Rove and Mitt Romney and the gop-e?
To quote JR, the man you show so much disrespect to, and on who's forum you troll and lie, and push Romney.

NOTICE: FR DOES NOT AND WILL NOT SUPPORT ABORTIONIST, GAY RIGHTS PUSHING BIG GOVERNMENT STATISTS FOR PRESIDENT!!
This message is intended for those posters on FR who seem to have missed my prior statements in this regard and insist on advocating for these bastards.
I'd rather shut the place down than be involved in any effort to install abortionist/gay rights pushing RINOS like Romney or Giuliani into the White House!!
Do NOT push this crap on FR. Take your business elsewhere!! And I don't care how long you've been here!!
You'll pardon me but the Dog Catcher will beat Obama.
If Romney is the Dog Catcher then so be it.
You were promoting the little dog eating Indonesian to a man giving his dog a ride on the roof of his car.
Your guy EATS DOGS, get it numb nutz. Man's best FRiend... yes he EATS DOGS !
Sober up and try to make some sense, your childish posts aren’t doing anything for anyone.
It will take more effort than that to push Romney here.
Who you for tough guy?
I’m for Newt.
Who is it you are for?
LOL, Read some of JR’s posts, you will see how we conservative freepers will be handling the election.
Romney is your choice, not ours.
You are a Leftist, you use the tactic of the Left.
Don’t hide behind JR, be a man and tell me who your for.
I’ll wait.
That is what I mean by childish and inadequate.
It is no wonder you are a Romney man.
Again, It’s a simple question.
Who are you for ?
I’ll wait!
Like the other conservatives here, including JR, I won't be voting for either one of those two.
To quote JR again.

Oh good, you’re not voting, I think that wraps it up here!
Pass the poodle please, extre crispy!
Romney's almost certain to be the nominee, so why throw mud at him? What purpose would that serve? I know Romney's not ideal, but I'd vote for him if he was the candidate, and I put in a word every now and then when I see something that strikes me as unfair.
If there were some great conservative candidate in the race, or thinking about getting in the race, I'd support that candidate, though I'd hope that I wouldn't throw mud at the other candidates like you. But there isn't a candidate like that in the race or likely to enter it.
Politically active people have unrealistic expectations about what politics can do. They make allowances for politicians and build them up into things they aren't and can't be. Then they're disappointed and angry when the politicians inevitably don't measure up.
If you've already heard the worst about Romney maybe you won't be disappointed. You may even be pleasantly surprised. There must be some reason why Ann Coulter and other conservative talking heads support Mitt Romney. You may think you know things they don't, but I have to wonder sometimes if it's the other way around, and they know things you don't know and don't want to hear.
