PRESIDENT OBAMA-MAO?
Link depicts Obama at Muslim prayer:
I've also attached a copy of another e-mail I received that purports to explain why Michele did not accompany our President to countries under Sharia Law.
(For those who don't understand Sharia Law, a simple explanation it is a Male Dominated Society with religious enforcement.)
We who expouse religious freedom should be the first to recognize that there's nothing wrong with Obama going to a Mosque and worshipping Allah. Would we condemn a Protestant who attended and worshipped at a Catholic Mass? By any name, there is only one God.
I only ask that our President be honest. I don't fear a man or woman of character whatever their religion. I do fear, however, those who use religion to gain their own ends or who would impose their religious practices on me.
And Michele? You can bet she won't submit to male domination (perhaps esplaining why she didn't go with the Presitent). If you have any doubts about her backbone you haven't been paying attention to the Black women on TV or the ones who are our Representatives. Better yet, get into an argument with any American Black Woman. You'll quickly find out they don't take any guff from anyone. If anything, they're in charge at home.
Bottom line? RESPECT. There's a need for a lot more of it in the deepest meaning and sense of the word, broadly applied. R - E - S - P - E - C - T If the terrorists had any, there wouldn't be any terrorists.
And if men respected the rights of women? Lew
December 2, 2009: I listened to our President's speech at the Academy yesterday. He said the right things, sounded like a President should. My heart sunk with the knowledge of what is going on within his administration, his Czars, and with Holder. I wanted to believe that he believed in the American values he hailed but instead feared I was listening to a "Pied Piper" just playing the "music" for our benefit.
He made the point that our economic health was inextricably tied to foreign relations and diplomatic strength, etc. Yet?
And American justice was another of his points. Yet?
"Blind in one eye, can't see out of the other" is my summation. Lew
Harold Estes is a venerable and much honored WW II vet, well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. This letter was dictated to a friend, signed and mailed to President. Obama:
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert..
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
" We're no longer a Christian nation"
" America is arrogant" -
Your wife even announced to the world, "America is mean-spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.
I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.
I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue.. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
WSJ ARTICLE: Rove Chronicled Obama’s Friday News Dumps: It's no coincidence that Attorney General Eric Holder chose a Friday to announce that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other terrorist suspects would be tried in civilian court in New York City rather than before a military tribunal.
The Obama administration has shown a pattern of seeking to mute reaction to policy announcements by issuing them late on Friday.
"Every modern White House has put out news on contentious issues late on Friday in the hope that doing so will bury it or reduce the amount of critical scrutiny it would otherwise receive," former Bush White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.
"What is unusual is the degree to which this White House has relied on this tactic."
Rove cited examples of Obama's "Friday dumps" in his Journal article.
C'MON, GUYS, IT'S JUST FOR TOURISM DOLLARS, AIN'T IT?
WHERE OBAMA STANDS:
From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
From Dreams of My Father : "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."
From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white."
From Dreams of My Father: "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."
THE TRUTH REVEALED:
From Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
