"We need a president who can reintroduce America to the world – and actually reintroduce America to ourselves," Leahy said in the conference call, saying Obama carried the "hope" to end the war in Iraq and to bring "healthcare for all."


The same Leahy that ...


According to a 1987 San Diego Union-Tribune report, in a 1985 television appearance Leahy disclosed classified information that one of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's telephone conversations had been intercepted.

The information that Leahy revealed had been used in the operation to capture the Arab terrorists who had hijacked the Achille Lauro cruise ship and killed American citizens ...

and the Union-Tribune claimed that Leahy's indiscretion may have cost the life of at least one of the Egyptian operatives involved in that operation.


The same Leahy that ...


Opposed U.S. military support for the Contras in their fight against the Marxist Sandinistas

Opposed the 1991 Persian Gulf War

Voted against funding the post-9/11 invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq

Voted against protecting U.S. military personnel from the International Criminal Court

Calls Guantanamo Bay detention center "an international embarrassment to our nation, to our ideals and it remains a festering threat to our security. . . . We're the country that tells people that we adhere to the rule of law. We want other countries to adhere to the rule of law. And in Guantanamo, we are not."

That traitorous Leahy?


Why hasn't this Senator Leahy been shot as an enemy of the United States?

I respectfully disagree, from personal experience.

My best intellectual performance was achieved in my late 30”s.
My best golf score was achieved at age 58.

As for sex, hehe.

Everything is about Hillary all the time. Obama gets a free pass. Be careful what you wish for. You will get President Obama if all you do is bash Hillary. But it seems to me that your agenda is just to keep a woman out of the White House and you don’t care if it takes Obama to do that. Your agenda is more sexist than Republican. (And it doesn’t matter if you’re a woman. you can still be sexist)

I see that you just signed on to FR today.

I don’t know what you mean about ‘everything being about Hillary all the time’ and ‘Obama getting a free pass. Nor do I appreciate your accusations that I have an agenda and that I am sexist! How dare you?

Hmmm, Hillary’s Senate caucus isn’t exactly lining up behind her.

What’s happened to our country? Half of our electorate (nearly half, anyway) is certifiably insane.

Apparently. So depressing....

When did it start? How did it come to this? Was it the Clinton years? The NEA? The media? The drugs of the 60s, 70s and 80s? And 90s, for that matter?

I think it started with the 60s and the decline of public education and was exacerbated by the rise of the 24-hour media, the worship of celebrity culture, and the trashing of the USA by our so-called elite institutions.

Another poison pill for the Obama campaign. At least Nader endorsed Edwards, so he doesn’t have to worry about dodging that kyryptonite. But still - how many useless old hacks are going to support Obama? These people were already useless (Kerry, Leaky Leahy, etc.) are they gambling on an Obama presidency restoring their prestige if they back him?

After I received that email that has been circulating about Obama being a Muslim (the one that caused the Obama camp to get in such a stir- that they couldn’t track down), I decided to do some research to see how much truth there was to it. I found many sites with pertinent information containing links to back it up.
One of the best was “Freedom’s Enemies, Barack Hussein Obama” by Beckwith.” http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/obama.htm, another good one was “The Veteran’s Dispatch http://www.usvetdsp.com/
A completely objective one was; http://www.examiner.com/a-534540~Can_a_past_of_Islam_change_the_path_to_president_for_Obama_.html

One of the most amazing things I found was that most of the telling information comes from his own books. It’s all there- the admiration for Islam and the disdain for the white race- but nobody has/will call him on it.

If you read the articles, the remarks from his books are very, very disturbing. Not content to take the article at its word, I checked out Obama’s books from the library and read them. The remarks are there- and they are NOT taken out of context.

Example:

Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam.”

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school”
“I studied the Koran..”

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “Lolo (Obama’s step father) followed a brand of Islam ....”I looked to Lolo for guidance”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

From The Audacity Of Hope, “We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

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’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”

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, “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..”.

From Dreams Of My Father:
“That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

From Dreams Of My Father;
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “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 had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.”

I went to YouTube to look up his speeches to La Raza (Mexican militant support group for illegal aliens) and heard for myself his pandering of the illegals.

Statistics on illegal aliens:
The Heritage Foundation ^ | 10/25/06 | Robert Rector
The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that each immigrant without a high school degree will cost U.S. taxpayers, on average, $89,000 over the course of his or her lifetime.[3] This is a net cost above the value of any taxes the immi*grant will pay and does not include the cost of educating the immigrant’s children, which U.S. taxpayers would also heavily subsidize. In this way, the roughly six million legal immigrants without a high school diploma will impose a net cost of around a half-trillion dollars on U.S. taxpayers over their lifetimes

Crime Statisitcs
95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.
86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens.
75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.
24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually.
53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.
50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens from south of the border.
71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or “transport coyotes”.
47% of cited/stopped drivers in California have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 47%, 92% are illegal aliens.
63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 63%, 97% are illegal aliens.
66% of cited/stopped drivers in New Mexico have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 66%, 98% are illegal.
Birth Statistics
380,000 plus “anchor babies” were born in the U.S. in 2005 to illegal alien parents, making 380,000 babies automatically U.S.citizens.
97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid by the American taxpayers.
66% plus of all births in California are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

Considering the horrific illegal alien problem in this country- that costs us BILLIONS and brings in more violent crime, for Obama to be pandering to the illegal aliens is shameful!

Obama’s speech to La Raza:

(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S.
Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )

Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t see since the struggle for civil rights.”

Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!

Omama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states, as well as amnesty and other atrocities.

Then there is his stance on partial birth abortion:

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCommentary.asp?Page=/Commentary/archive/200801/COM20080109b.html

He is so pro-abortion that he refused as an Illinois state senator to support legislation to protect babies who survived late-term abortions. In a cold blooded speech, he refused to concede that these babies were “persons’- even though they were fully outside their mother’s wombs with their hearts beating and their lungs heaving. On the Illinois Senate floor, Obama was the only senator to speak against the baby-protecting bills. He voted “present” on each, effectively the same as a “no.”

Obama’s ties to Palestinians and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan:
http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/03/obamas_pastor_admits_concerns.php

I am trying to get the message out to a naive public who are jumping on the “black JFK”, “change”, “take back America” bandwagon, without questioning who this man is and questioning his past, his present associates and backers and his agenda.

Leahy probably saw that photo of Obama making the “urinal gesture” with his hands instead of putting his hand over his heart while the national anthem was being played, and decided “that’s my man.”
