President Obama's Birthplace - A national monument?
President Barack H. Obama’s biographers will need to know a little more than is currently known about his birth. After all, the presidential birthplace should be a national monument. Preparations should be started now to preserve it. Where is the house in which he was born? Or was it a hospital, I can’t remember? Since Obama is one of our youngest presidents, the midwife who assisted the birth should still be alive. Historians and journalists would like to interview her. Wait, was it a doctor who attended the birth of our first black president? What was his name? Oh, you...

Only well-trained professionals in the military and the police need guns. History proves that civilians are much better off without them.

Amnesty is the “point of no return”. All the other foolish policies can be changed by a later administration, although the huge debt will have to be dealt with. However, 20-30 million new, uneducated, government dependent, Democrat voters will forever change the American government, society, and our way of life. One party rule will be a fact of life that cannot be changed.

. . . when someone runs for President all records should be an open book including passport records. There is no reason to keep anything like that secret if you want to be President.

‘Change,’ for Alinsky, invoked radical socialism and meant the redistribution of wealth. [For] Obama [it] means the same, but by hiding the reference he avoids having to be explicit about the radical goal behind the theme.”
Some Key Alinsky Code Words
Change - Eliminating the free enterprise system and replacing it with socialism, and peacefully overthrowing the present government and replacing it with communism.
Community Organizer - One who (1) agitates by identifying and magnifying the real or imagined failings of the establishment as they supposedly apply to the target group, (2) organizes the target group into a political force, and (3) turns that force into “change”.

For every Christian, temptations arise to put something ahead of our Lord. Indeed, as CS Lewis pointed out, such temptations become stronger for those who do want to leave them behind. But God is faithful....
