Excellent read IMHO...

Deconstructing Obama

Choice excerpt:

But according to the deconstructionists, if I want to throw my full support to candidate Obama, then I must literally force myself to go completely athwart these Western tendencies, and opt to reverse them.


I must accept that Obama's nearly empty resume for the Presidency is actually better than McCain's full resume.


I must accept that Obama's meaningless, non-defined rhetoric is actually better than McCain's meaningful, painstakingly defined rhetoric and plans.


I must accept that Obama's difference, in terms of his racial makeup is actually better than McCain's common identity with my own. Whatever happened to Martin Luther King's insistence on a colorblind society?


So far, Obama's only plans worth noting are to disarm America and turn over vast amounts of our wealth to refortify failing dictatorships in third-world countries. If accomplished, this will amount to nothing less than handing over our sovereignty and liberty in favor of bondage to international consensus.


I must accept that Obama's death plan for America, the Land that I love, is actually better than McCain's life plan to preserve and protect our liberty.


I might as well go a bit further with the deconstructionists and throw in another purely Western assumption. Liberty over bondage. Yes, it's true. Color me prejudiced to the core of my being.


I actually will prefer to my dying day, with the last breath I draw, as God is my witness, liberty over bondage.


I'm hopelessly, irretrievably, to the marrow of my bones, an American. And I will not give my one vote, earned by the precious sacrifice of millions before me, to a deconstructionist, affirmative-action candidate.


The Presidency of the United States of America is not now, nor should it ever be, an entitlement.

This article by that same author was also very good.

A few interesting excerpts...

That Barack Obama’s meteoric rise in American politics should have Chicago as its political home base was perhaps not quite as fortuitous and coincidental as it once appeared.

The first alliances Obama made in Chicago were with fellow travelers of socialist Saul Alinsky and leaders of the ongoing “Black Liberation” Struggle, Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan. And before Obama made even his first attempt to dip into Chicago’s political cesspool, he was introduced to and properly coronated by Ayers and Dohrn. Then came one “magical” success after another, until now the ultimate prize in American politics is stunningly within reach, in little more than a decade since Obama’s initial political grooming.

Obviously, without a viable contemporary standard-bearer, these crusty old radicals would be no real threat to America, except at their university podiums, in their dreary textbooks, and in a sprinkling of local public offices.

But an eloquent, clean-cut, moderate-sounding black man is the perfect instrument for these radicals to promote their revolutionary program. Anyone who remembers the mayhem they caused and the citizens they killed in many a city and town across America, should be experiencing quite a lot of deja-vu angst right now, with Obama’s star rising, especially in the east and west.

Whether Obama proves to be The One, whom the 60s radicals have anointed to seal the deal on their long-awaited Marxist revolution, lies mostly now in the hands of Democratic National Committee, the party’s superdelegates, and — eventually, if he receives the nomination from the fractious Dems — the American electorate.

The 60s are long gone, but the era’s legacy lives on in the Democrat Party. As Peter Collier and David Horowitz summarized in their book, Destructive Generation:

The decade ended with a big bang that made society into a collection of splinter groups, special interest organizations and newly minted “minorities,” whose only common belief was that America was guilty and untrustworthy. This is perhaps the enduring legacy of the Sixties.​

Even if the Democrats manage to avoid a big-bang ending to this nominating process (the rules for which were largely engineered by the 60s radicals themselves) remains to be seen. The Party may yet split on more traditional lines, between those who still love America and those who clearly don’t.

But the biggest sell Obama will have to make in November, if he is the nominee, is that he’s not just the handpicked new face of a very old, and thoroughly discredited ideology.

Even a young guy like Barack can’t revive the dead horse of socialism. Or can he?

Q: Why was Obama over in Kenya campaigning for a muslim candidate that wanted to take over a sovereign state and install sharia law?

Obama's Kenyan Connections-Truth!, Unproven!, & Fiction!

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-kenya.htm

Summary of the eRumor:
An email from a missionary to Africa named Celeste Davis. In it she says several things about Senator Barack Obama:

1. His cousin, Raila Odinga, is a Socialist who is trying to bring down the government in Kenya, Africa.
2. Obama has given almost a million dollars to his cousin's opposition campaign.
3. Obama and Raila talk with each other daily.
4. Obama is a Moslem, is racist, and is the fulfillment of Jihad.
5. Obama's real name is "Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama."

The Truth:
This eRumor started circulating in April, 2008. It is from an American missionary in Africa.
The missionary is Celeste Davis who, along with her husband, Loren, operate Loren Davis Ministries in Kenya.

We contacted Celeste Davis and asked for documentation of any of her assertions. Her reply was that the contents of her email were "common knowledge in Kenya."

We'll take topics in the email one-by-one, however:

Obama's cousin, Raila Odinga, is a Socialist who is trying to bring down the government in Kenya, Africa-Truth! & Unproven!
Raila Odinga is a well-known politician in Kenya. He served in various governmental positions including Prime Minister and was an opposition candidate for president in an election in Kenya in 2007. He didn't win but claimed that the vote was rigged and the uproar and violence that resulted took hundreds of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands of people.

Part of the controversy surrounding Odinga is his ties with Islamic interests. He campaigned for Islamic votes and it was rumored that he had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Moslem leaders. The content of the memo was not immediately released and stories circulated that Odinga had promised that if he was elected, Islam would be the only religion of Kenya and strict Islamic sharia law would become the law of the land. In November, 2007, Odinga and the National Muslim Leaders Forum, with whom the MoU had been signed, jointly said that there had neither been an agreement for Islam to be the only religion in Kenya nor a pact to implement sharia law. The Moslem leaders said they simply wanted assurance to "safeguard the interests and welfare of a section of the Kenyan community (Muslims) that has undergone atrocities over the last 44 years."

Non-Moslem religious leaders, however, claimed to have copies of a signed MoU that would have declared sharia law as the "only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions" and "popularize Islam as the only true religion."

Odinga claimed to be Obama's cousin. He said that Barack Obama's father was his uncle. To our knowledge this has never been proven. Odinga and Obama's father did come from the same Luo tribe, one of the prominent tribes in Kenya. Senator Obama has not commented on the alleged family relationship.

Obama and his Raila talk with each other daily-Unproven!
There is no way of knowing how often they talk, but they have met, both in the U.S. and in Africa and have had telephone conversations. In a 2006, Odinga hosted Obama for a visit to Kenya and Obama appeared with him and praised Odinga at rallies in Nairobi. At the beginning of the U.S. presidential primary season in 2007, Obama called Odinga, according to the London Telegraph. Odinga said they discussed the "destabilizing constitutional crisis" in Kenya. The Associated Press quoted Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs as confirming the conversation, which, he said, lasted for about 5-minutes. The London Telegraph said it was understood that Obama also tried to call Odinga's opponent, Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.

Obama has given almost a million dollars to his cousin's opposition campaign-Unproven!
This is based on a document that has circulated in blogs and on message boards on the Internet and that is represented to be an internal memo of Odinga's party's "CAMPAIGN FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES ." It includes a list of donations, one of which is from "Friends of Senator BO." The donation is for 66 million Kenya shillings, more than 1 million U.S. dollars. It has not been proven, to our knowledge, that the document is authentic or that the donation was from Barack Obama.

Obama is a Moslem-Fiction!
This has been a widely-circulated story about Obama. CLICK HERE for details.

Obama's real name is "Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama"-Fiction!
Obama's full name is "Barack Hussein Obama." We have not found any documentation of "Muhammed" or "Mohammed" as a part of his name. The only reference, other than the Celeste Davis email, to this version of Obama's name was from talk show host Bill Cunningham in an appearance on Hannity & Colmes on Fox News in February, 2008. He is said to have called Obama "Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama" several times during the interview, but he gave no documentation of why he referred to Obama in that way and eventually stopped using it.

TruthOrFiction.com looked into Barack Obama's genealogy dating back several generations and did not find anyone with the name "Mohammad" or "Muhammed." The senator's father was "Barack Hussein Obama, Sr," although some records have both of their first names as "Barak." Obama's grandfather was named "Hussein Onyango Obama."

In an odd twist of genealogical fate, researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found that Obama and president George W. Bush are 10th cousins, once removed.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

Dear Billy Sam,
Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and I don't know the last count of the dead. Obama under "friends of Obama" gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in east germany . He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily.As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic, cyring rigged election if he doesn't win and possibly cause a race war in America .
What we would like you to know is what the american press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fullfilllment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this july! He is not an american as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world wide jihad.All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the mulsim infiltration into their countries. By the way. His true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won't that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!
God Bless you.
Pray for us here in Kenya . We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assult that every nation, including America , is fighting. Takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya , not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive.
Jesus Christ is our peace but the new world order of Globalism has infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they can compromise and survive. It won't be so. I will send you a newsletter we sent out in February documenting in a more cohesive manner what I've tried to say in a few paragraphs.
Love, Celeste
