A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations. Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not endorsed either Senator Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. But on Thursday, February 14, he is trying to rush Obama's "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) through his committee. The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends. The bill, which is item number four on the committee's business meeting agenda, passed the House by a voice vote last year because most members didn't realize what was in it. Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require. According to the website of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, no hearings have been held on the Obama bill in that body. A release from the Obama Senate office about the bill declares, "In 2000, the U.S. joined more than 180 countries at the United Nations Millennium Summit and vowed to reduce global poverty by 2015.

His name should do it. Barack Hussein Obama.
I picked PDL last week, because a neighbor of mine wanted to use it as a devotional. In an attempt to “be all things to all people”, I agreed against my better judgement.
But I just couldn’t get past the first page and neither could she. It is squishy religion appealing to “feel good” theology. My purpose is to know Christ and Him crucified. It’s not about me. It’s about Jesus.
Anyway... I found a site that might interest you.

Let me guess. It’s for Africans who refuse to control their appendages.
“The grim realization that I’m going to have to vote Queeg is starting to hit me. It feels like a flu... in my soul.”
We will vote for him, and I predict pray for him by Nov. Obamanation must not stand
socialist wankers like Obama and Albore and Shrillary always want to forcibly re-distribute from everyone else to fulfill their programs.....
why don’t we demand that all the Demagogues IMMEDIATELY sign a pledge (and then we use the power of the state and taxes to force them to fulfill their pledges) — the pledge will say that from now on they will devote all of THEIR income to the Global Marshall plan, except for a very modest amount we will ‘allow’ them to keep that will enable them to keep their families just above the current US poverty line. That will still be a much more comfortable standard of living than at least 1/2 of the world’s population enjoys, and the socialists can “feel good” that they have contributed so generously to worldwide socialist programs. Why don’t they ever propose that those who actually BELIEVE in funding tinpot 3rd World dictatorships and bloated international bureaucracies should be the ones to fund them?
Rick Warren is truly vile.
My thoughts exactly.
This might do the trick: http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/obama.htm
The name should do it, the Che Guevera/Cuban flag in his Houston headquarters should do it too. But the people that are so enamored of him are mindless twits and it doesn’t occur to them or matter that they are swooning over a marxist minded dangerous man whose first official act if elected will probably be to “sit down and talk with the islamofacists” (the ones that he releases from Guantanamo after he shuts it down.) His “follower” act like he is the Second Coming and the reincarnation of JFK and Martin Luther King all rolled into one. You would think he is the anti-Christ to see some of these poeple tear up and almost pray to the jerk.
WOW, that’s quite a lot of important info at that link — for starters, will America really elect a President who started his career as an Alinsky-style “community organizer” hating America, whitey, and the establishment? There must be all sorts of statements and anecdotes from those days that would not exactly enhance Obama Hussein’s candidacy with a majority of American voters, even if it would make Code Pink and MoveOn.org love him with the fervor only leftists can feel for True Believers......
If Hillery gets the nom I will vote for McCain.
If Obama gets the nom I will vote for Ron Paul.
Worst Case = Hillery
Less Worse - Obama
Bump!
Really. They could alleviate poverty all by themselves.
I don’t think Warren is vile, but I do think he is stupid.
‘This guy is dangerous. Wake up FReepers. We need to defeat this flaming liberal as much or more than Billary.
much much more!!!!!!
You really would rather have Obama-Osama in the White House rather than McCain? You really need to read info at the link in post#42. Be afraid..be very afraid of Obama.
I’d rather have Ron Paul than McCain.
I’d rather have McCain than Hillery.
There’s a difference.
If Obama gets the nomination I’m willing to risk splitting
conservative votes to elect Ron Paul over McCain.
If Hillery gets the nomination, I will vote for McCain
at all costs.
