I totally appreciate your opinion on this. I think this will weigh down His Majesty Obama signficiantly.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Interestingly, I received a great letter today from the Patriot Post. I'll post a portion of it below.....combined with your article, it paints a perfect picture of Obama, as well as liberals in general.
If some aren't familiar with Patriot Post, it's a great newsletter, and again, this is an excerpt their newsletter, which can be found at:
www.patriotpost.com
"Barack Hussein Obama is an archetypal liberal case study. Obama, William Jefferson Clinton, Albert Arnold Gore, John F. Kerry and, of course, Edward “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy, all share a common ailment—what I have aptly described in some detail as the Pathology of the Left.
Leftists are uniformly defined by their hypocrisy and dissociation from reality. They speak of unity, but they foment division, appealing to the worst in human nature by separating Americans into dependent constituencies. They support freedom of thought, unless those thoughts don’t comport with theirs. They feign tolerance while practicing intolerance. They resist open discussion and debate of their views, yet seek to silence dissenters. They protest for natural order while advocating for homosexuality and abortion. They assert their First Amendment rights, except, of course, when it comes to religion, whence they impose the doctrines of secular atheism on everyone else. They decry SUVs, except those that they own. They advocate mass transit but commute on private jets. They believe trial lawyers save lives and doctors kill people. They believe the solution to racism is to treat people differently on the basis of the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. They deride moral clarity because they can’t survive its scrutiny.
Ad infinitum...
Why do most liberals believe what they believe—and act the way they act?
Psychopathology dictates and frames worldview, and worldview manifests in such things as political affiliation.
Leftists politicos tend to be chronic overachievers because they have suffered significant loss—often the result of the disconnect with their earthly fathers. They subscribe to rigid doctrines and “nanny state” regimes to satiate their persistent insecurity, the result of low self-esteem and arrested emotional development associated, predominantly, with fatherless households or critically dysfunctional families in which they were not adequately affirmed.
Obama manifests all of these characteristics, and clinically speaking, there is a diagnosis. Leftists are pathological case studies of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—the standard reference used for psychiatric evaluation.
Of course, there are many conservatives who were raised by a single parent or in critically dysfunctional or impoverished homes. However, somewhere along the way, they were lifted out of their misery by the grace of God—often in the form of a significant mentor who modeled individual responsibility and character. As a result, they have the courage to internalize their locus of responsibility.
Leftists, on the other hand, externalize responsibility for problems and solutions by holding others (read: conservatives) to blame for their ills, and by bestowing upon the state the duty for arbitrating proper conduct—even proper thought.
A footnote: It’s no coincidence that conservative political bases tend to be suburban or rural, while liberal political bases tend to be urban. The social, cultural and economic blight in many urban settings are Leftist breeding grounds for legions of the disenfranchised, those who are largely dependent on the state for all manner of their welfare, protection and sustenance.
These legions identify with Barack Obama. That is the substance, the essence of Obama.
To be sure, all good-hearted Americans should feel a degree of compassion for Barack Obama, whose formative years were marked by complete familial disintegration. But that is not a reason to elect him president."
Luckily you don't see any in small town Pennsylvania.
Okay, he got me.
I can't stand freakin' socialist scumbags.
Condescending BS, thanks CBB
I live in a small town and a nearby copper smelter closed in this area about 8 years ago. I am religious, cling to my guns, and I may be dumber than a box of rocks- but I am still smarter than Obama.
Remember: This is Barak Obama's very first serious campaign of his life (outside of local politics in his adopted Chicago South Side neighorhood).
His (only) Senate campaign was not against Alan Keyes, it was against Jack Ryan, who quit the campaign after his divorced wife made nasty comments about their relationship. Keyes came in literally weeks before the election. It's like running against a dead man.
Obambi is naive and untested and it is beginning to show.
To insult Smalltown USA is politically like saying military veterans are unintelligent violence prone freeloaders. It's death for Obama's campaign, but because his San Francisco Billionaire Buddies don't get it, he will continue on, right over the cliff.

Sounds like a rather perfect discription of the type of nimrods who go to Obama's church.
Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic thats me

Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now shes small town just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look whos in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and thats good enough for me
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And thats probly where they'll bury me.
LOL!

Hey Obama Baby, I don’t “cling” to my guns but I damned sure know how to use them. I’m not bitter either, I love my small town and it’s people (1,500 folks), we’re unincorporated so we don’t have a city limits in order to have an official census. Our small town cafes, post office and hardware store are where we see each other and find out about folks. Our small town still posts obituary notices ASAP in all our businesses and post office. We stop and remove our hats and caps for funeral processions too.
Our three kids grew up and graduated from our small town HS too, went on to earn degrees, one serves his country proudly as a combat infantryman, have you ever served your country Obama? My infantryman also volunteered in our VFD since HS too, did you ever volunteer to serve your community Obama?
We don’t “cling” to our religion either, our family lives our FAITH as much as possible although fall short of the mark many times. Our faith is a RELATIONSHIP with our Lord, strange, when all that clap trap broke lose about you and Rev. Wright, we then knew what you were all about.
Stay away from our small town B. Hussein Obama, we’re doin’ fine thank you very much. You have greatly underestimated small town people, I assure you.
” it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to...antipathy to people who aren’t like them “
But enough about your church, Senator.
I’m going to study it tomorrow after I read the Bible, clean my guns, load some ammo in my small Pennsylvania town.
I now fear that he won't make it, though.
He is the dream candidate - for McCain.
That nailed it very well. I am a fifth generation German and had to wonder how hard my ancestors had to work to get here and eventually make a living working the land. Now the illegal immigrants want to come here and get everything handed to them on a silver platter.
We can reach one conclusion from Senator Obama’s remarks. Whatever else he is, or knows in different contexts, when it comes to understanding the people who live in America’s small towns, he is dumb as a box of rocks.
We moved OUT of Austin because of the elite snobs we had to deal with for years. I still work there, but I'd rather live with a bunch of "cedar choppers with guns in their trucks" than the Volvo driving 1960 leftover hippies in Austin.
“So how’d it go at the unemployment office today, Jim-Bob?”
“I’m so dang frustrated! The government isn’t listening to me! Where’s my dang gun, Shirley?”
“Where it always is, next to the potatoes in the pantry. Can you explain your frustrations, Jim-Bob?”
“Yeah! I’ll explain ‘em! Watch this!”
Blam! Blam! Blam!
“Would you watch out with that thing? There’s another hole in the water heater, and you almost hit the damn parakeet!”
“Well too bad I didn’t hit one ‘a them durn immigrants! They’re all diffrunt from me!”
“Well dear, you know there’s a tent revival tonight, at least that’s something we can cling to.”
“I don’t know Shirley. If only there was some way we could bring about a… a… change in America.”
“Well now that you mention it Jim-Bob, I was watchin the tee-vee over at the hairdressers today, and there was this nice young man on with some kind of funny A-rab soundin’ name. I didn’t understand what he was sayin’, but whatever it was made me feel good inside, like there was hope again.”
“Ohhhh yeah. That negro fellow at the bowlin alley. First time I’ve ever seen a negro at the bowlin’ alley, huh.”
“Well that’s just it. Such an articulate young man. Even though I didn’t understand nothin’, it was like, I felt like I was floatin’ up on a big fluffy cloud, with all the immigrants, and everybody else, even that blockhead brother of yours. And we were all friends, there was this, like, unity.”
“Wow Shirley – that’s great! If only there was someone like that in the central govmint as the President! Someone that would listen to my concerns for a change!”
“Well maybe there can be now, Jim-Bob. Why don’t you put that gun down, and lets eat these beans, before they get cold.”
