OBAMA SHOULD END HIS CAMPAIGN

If you want to know the reason for tonight's (Friday's) headline, just scroll down slowly through the columns below to read the kind of "spiritual" advice Barack Obama and his wife have been receiving from Jeremiah A. Wright.

On my blog tonight, I'm calling for Barack Obama to end his campaign. Because of the Wright situation, he is no longer a viable candidate for President. I also believe he should resign from the U.S. Senate.

For Obama to pretend, as he is tonight on FOX and CNN, that the national revulsion over Wright all came as a surprise to him is ridiculous. His Church gave Louis Farrakhan a "Lifetime Achievement Award." You will hear in response that is was Trumpet Magazine, which is no longer associated with the Church that gave it. In fact, Wright's daughter is the editor of Trumpet, a pro-Black, anti-White publication Wright started. Obama's reaction to the "Achievement" award was to ignore it.

The real issue is this: who exactly is Barack Obama? Is he just perhaps not this individual who wants to transcend race (except, of course, when he sops up 90%-plus of the Black vote in the South)? Or is he perhaps someone who looks at the world much like his "spiritual advisor," Jeremiah Wright? I have paid a lot more attention in the past few years to Obama than he deserved, but I have no idea what the correct answer is to that question.

His wife, Michelle, only became "proud" of American when it became clear her husband was (key word) a viable candidate for the Presidency. In that regard, Michelle Obama apparently learned a lot from Jeremiah Wright, who hates his native land.

Perhaps the most sickening thing on the video tapes of Wright ranting away is to look the audience, a bunch of Yahoos. When Wright blames America for 9/11, the congregants are standing, whooping, and ecstatic. Were Obama and Michelle perhaps there on that day? And did they perhaps join the applause? That is the "church community" Obama speaks so lovingly about in his fine baritone.

This is the man who would be President. He and his Pastor are disgraces to their race -- the human race.

Barack, go. Go in peace or go in anger, but just go. "Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us."



Bill Clinton and the Culture of Death

The following is a column I wrote for my friends at the Black Conservatives Group on Yahoo.


Steubenville, OH (LifeNews.com) -- Former president Bill Clinton made a campaign stop for Hillary in Steubenville, Ohio on Sundayand found himself greeted by more than 100 pro-life students from nearby Steubenville University. According to eye witnessesaccounts, Clinton lost his temper and lashed out at the pro-life students during the speech.

The students from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, who confronted President Clinton on the issue of abortion are some of the best young people in our area -- I live not too far from Steubenville. Bill Clinton accused them -- falsely -- of wanting to "criminalize abortion, etc."

The students in fact were making the point that a society which has a high level of abortion such as ours diminishes the overall respect for life, leading to abuse, crimes against people, and the like. It's an issue that any decent human being -- a category that doesn't include the philandering, cynical President Clinton -- must grapple with. The students have an concern that Clinton should have dealt with respectfully and thoughtfully. He didn't.


In the period of the Great Society and after, many bad things have happened in America, particularly in the Black community. Two generations ago, the rate of abortion among Black teens was LOWER than in the white community. Now, it is much, much higher -- four times the rate with white teens. Essentially, we have a community that is "doing away with" its future. We need to love children, not discard them as if they were human garbage.


Bill Clinton probably knows this, but he doesn't care about it. For him, it's all about his wife getting elected -- period.


By the way, Barack Obama voted in the Illinois Senate for what's called "live birth abortions." His vote meant that physicians didn't have to care for children who were born alive as a result of "botched" abortions. Essentially, it was a vote for infanticide. He should be ashamed of himself, but unfortunately shame is not his strong suit.

Of course, Obama doesn't debate the pros-and-cons of such procedures. Instead, he relies on windy rhetoric ("Yes we can"). However, for infants in need of care and basically asking if they can live, his slogan is "No, you can't." So much for "universal health care."

As a society, we can't fall into the trap of saying, "Well, we respect life some of the time but not all of the time." What that leads to is what we have now, where the "Angel of Death" is a constant presence in Black communities. People like Bill Clinton aggravate that situation.

Barack Obama's Continuing Farrakhan Problem


Barack Obama pedals away after responding to John McCain's charge that he lacks experience and maturity on matters of foreign policy and national security. Note: this site regularly posts humorous photos related to the Obama campaign -- scroll down to see.


In the Washington Post Op Ed section on January 15, 2008, Richard Cohen wrote an excellent piece about Barack Obama's uncomfortably close relation to Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan. In the recent debate, Obama said he "rejects" Farrakhan's strong support of his candidacy -- and then, when pressed, relunctantly said he also "denounces" the Black Muslim leader's anti-Semitic views.

Here's what Richard Cohen said about the issue:

"[Farrakhan] has vilified whites and singled out Jews to blame for crimes large and small, either committed by others as well or not at all. (A dominant role in the slave trade, for instance.) He has talked of Jewish conspiracies to set a media line for the whole nation. He has reviled Jews in a manner that brings Hitler to mind."

"And yet [Obama's minister and spiritual advisor Jeremiah] Wright heaped praise on Farrakhan. According to Trumpet [magazine, a Wright-organization publication], he applauded his 'depth of analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation." He praised 'his integrity and honesty.' He called him 'an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose.'"

"These are the words of a man [Wright] who prayed with Obama just before the Illinois senator announced his run for the presidency. Will he pray with him just before his inaugural?"

"I don't for a moment think that Obama shares Wright's views on Farrakhan. But the rap on Obama is that he is a fog of a man. We know little about him, and, for all my admiration of him, I wonder about his mettle. The New York Times recently reported on Obama's penchant while serving in the Illinois legislature for merely voting "present" [on 130 controversial issues] when faced with some tough issues. Farrakhan, in a strictly political sense, may be a tough issue for him. This time, though, 'present' will not do."


Steve says: Hillary Clinton has accused the press -- correctly -- of not pressing Obama on difficult matters, including Farrakhan's strong support of him. Specifically, media types have refused to ask Obama where he agrees with Farrakhan -- and where he doesn't. Why exactly should the Senator and, for that matter, his controversial wife, be immune from the hard questions posed to every other candidate.


Obama has mentioned that he can't be anti-Semitic because he has gained strong support from Jews in Illinois and nationally. However, his Jewish supporters, such as his national finance Chair Penny Pritzker, are far-Left types who tend to blame Israel for many of the problems in the region. .
Obama's heavy financial support from MoveOn.org's anti-Israel legions.


(Note: Ms. Pritzker, from Chicago, is one of the wealthy financial speculators who bears responsibility for the subprime mortage crisis.)

Richard Cohen describes Obama as "a fog of a man." In other words, it's often hard to tell where the incredibly glib, but insubstantial, Illinois Senator stands on any issue.

Consider Obama's recent statement (in the last debate) that he might re-invade Iraq if al Qaeda "establishes a base" there! That from the critic of George W. Bush's invasion of Saddam's nation. As John McCain pointed out, it apparently comes as news to Obama that al Qaeda already has a base in Iraq. Obama's response was to talk about mistakes made in 2002, which tells us nothing about what he would do in 2008 and 2009.

With Obama ready to invade our ally Pakistan, a country with nuclear weapons, and to re-invade Iraq, he doesn't sound much like the anti-War candidate. In fact, he sounds like someone making it up as he goes along.
