Another on-the-money artcle by Thomas Sowell. There should be no doubt where Obama comes from and where he wishes to take us. It's clear in the message his wife gives.

Well since Obama can't even unify the liberals it is well beyond a joke to consider him a point of unification with the moderate elites and what is left of conservatives.
The right side of the isle is little better than the left as the great ‘I am’ lord McCain got his elevation to leadership of the Republican party with votes of the vast reeds of the wind.
Not one of the presidential candidates can be said to be the ‘best’ of what was once the individual American character. We have almost become at one with the world.

When we’re all slaves to a New Socialist Order, Michelle Obama will finally be able to say: “I am PROUD to be an American!”

You know, her remark irritated me as much as anything Wright said. What a narrow minded ass she must be!

"These friends included "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets" -- in Obama's own words -- as well as the "more politically active black students." He later visited a former member of the terrorist Weatherman underground, who endorsed him when he ran for state senator. Obama didn't just happen to encounter Jeremiah Wright, who just happened to say some way out things. Jeremiah Wright is in the same mold as the kinds of people Barack Obama began seeking out in college -- members of the left, anti-American counter-culture. . . .His voting record in the U.S. Senate is the furthest left of any Senator."
Hussein will probably be rejected by the Dem National Convention.
Beware. Do not count out the Clinton's who have controlled the DNC for 15+ years.
Hillary will tout her "centrist" credentials in the general election.

The honorable Mr. Obama is as white as he is black but he chooses to reject and insult that part of his heritage.

Exactly... and where is the MSM on this... crickets chirp as Obama is given a pass and never asked the simple question... How is it you never mustered the courage to confront your mentor, advisor, friend Mr. Wright regarding his flat out lies against America? Doesn’t that show a critical lack of judgement on your part?
It is extremely important that we find out exactly where Mr. Obama’s loyalties lie. The President of the U.S. is President of all American citizens not just the black ones.

I spent some time yesterday with someone absolutely convinced Wright isn’t racist in the first place. I wonder how widespread that outlook is.

Let's see now - Trent Lott was forced to resign as U.S. Senate Majority Leader becasue he said that back in 1946 Sen. Thurmond probably would have made a good President!
The hypocracy of the MSM and the pimps of the election industry are boundless!

I am waiting for the public cat fight between Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Clinton. That will be coming. Neither is capable of keeping their mouth shut,

In their version of events, Barack Obama just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...'The wrong place at the wrong time' almost every sunday for twenty years.
So we want the unluckiest man that ever lived to be president???

I've read a number of articles in the wake of the Wright scandal, including one by a white minister, who try to explain it all away as just an unfortunate case of Obama having a "controversial minister." That explanation is actually a form of racism in itself because it tries to excuse black bigots simply because of the "black experience" when white racism was prevalent. It holds Black clergymen to a lower standard than White clergyment. The fact is Obama CHOSE!!! this particular church, and he CHOSE Wright. He CHOSE!!! Wright as his spiritual leader.
Undoubtedly there are many Black churches with pastors who don't say the kinds of things Wright said. Obama is tied to Wright not by accident but by deliberate choice. The excuse of just accidentally having a "controversial" pastor just won't wash.

I’m no McCain fan, but I would crawl over broken glass to vote for him.

Your post made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think many of us herer feel exactly as you do. We play the cards we have, but an Obama presidency is out of the question. Gore and Kerry were only a heartbeat away from the presidency.
I pray that McCain picks a good VP running mate.
