OBAMA’S CHRISTIAN FAITH

The New York Times is puzzled over the misperceptions about Obama.  They know that he is a wonderful Christian and cannot understand how anyone could possibly have a different opinion.  The main stream media is baffled that so many people think Obama is really a Muslim.  So I did some research on the internet to see what evidence I could find, either way.  First, the evidence that Obama is a Muslim: 

  1.  His name is Barack Hussein Obama.  A Muslim name.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/politics/04obama.text.html

  1. He loves Urdu Poetry, which is Muslim poetry from Pakistan.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/23/obama-digs-urdu-poetry_n_219463.html

  1. His father and step-father were both Muslims.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/politics/04obama.text.html

  1. In speeches broadcast to the Muslim world he refers to his Muslim upbringing.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/politics/04obama.text.html

  1. The only church he ever attended on a regular basis was Trinity United, where Reverend Wright preaches black liberation theology. 

 

The following link shows the Black Value System posted on the Trinity United Church of Christ website:

http://www.trinitychicago.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=114

To understand this, just substitute “white value system” for “black value system” and then decide whether or not this is racist.  Is it any surprise that virulent anti-white sermons would be preached from a church with this statement of faith?  Anyone see Jesus mentioned? 

  1.  Obama’s statements about his Christian faith are hollow and do not ring true. 

After Dr. James Dobson met personally with Obama, he wrote the following:

Obama can call himself anything he likes, but there is a clear requirement for one to qualify as a Christian and Obama doesn’t meet that requirement. One cannot deny central tenets of the Christian faith, including the deity and uniqueness of Christ as the sole mediator between God and Man and be a Christian. Such people do have a label applied to them in Scripture. They are called “false prophets.”

  1. While George W. Bush said that Islam was a religion of peace, Obama has said that Islam shares our values.   The following is a quote from the speech to the Muslim world cited previously.

 

I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles – principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.

 

  1. There is reason to suspect that Barack Obama’s Harvard Education was paid for by a Saudi Arabian prince, Al-Waleed bin Talal.  The following is the link to the story, including a video interview of Percy Sutton, who describes how he arranged for Obama’s entrance into Harvard.  Percy Sutton was a well known black attorney famous for defending the Black Panthers and was the legal representative for Malcom X.

 

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_camp_denies_Sutton_story.html

This was denied by the Obama team and ignored by the main stream media as irrelevant. 

The alleged go-between who arranged the funding was Khalid al Mansour:

http://townhall.com/blog/g/c2df500d-0189-47d8-a454-54de9f6584c3

The Saudi Prince was  Al-Waleed bin Talal.  He is considered to be the second richest man in the world.  Following is a link to the Islamic Studies Department he funded for Harvard:

 

http://islamicstudies.harvard.edu/

 

You never guess who just may be sponsoring the Ground Zero Mosque:

http://cmcu.georgetown.edu/

 

Following shows that at least some people believe there is a strong connection between Al-Waleed bin Talal and the Wahabi branch of Islam:

  1. He is rumored to have told the leader of Egypt that he was a Muslim.

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/06/-obama-tells-egyptian-foreign-minister-i-am-a-muslim-stealth-coup-on-the-white-house.html

  1. He has continually taken the side of the Palestinians with regard to Israel.

http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=1119002

  1.  Barack Obama himself gave a detailed interview on what he believed.  I don’t know how one would describe Obama’s religion beliefs, but it is far from what most people would consider being a “Christian.”   

http://blog.beliefnet.com/stevenwaldman/2008/11/obamas-interview-with-cathleen.html

  1. Following are 10 quotes by Barack Obama bout Islam and 10 quotes about Christianity.  Even if these are all totally taken out of context, they are very revealing:

http://thetruthwins.com/archives/10-quotes-by-barack-obama-about-islam-contrasted-with-10-quotes-by-barack-obama-about-christianity

  1. The attached is a youtube video of Obama singing the Muslim prayer.  Obama has often bragged about how this is one of the prettiest sounds on earth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMBYF1LZ3FI

Second, the evidence that Obama is a Christian:

  1.  The White House says Obama is a Christian.

 

  1. A youtube video of an Obama twitter proves he is a Christian:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEXETBy0gmM

  1. The New York Times, The Washington Post, the LA Times, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and the rest of the main stream media have thoroughly investigated Obama’s background and they have established beyond any reasonable doubt that he is a Christian.

Obviously, the evidence that Obama is really a Christian is overwhelming compared to the miniscule documentation to the contrary.  It is easy to understand why the main stream media is so baffled.

OBAMA DE-MOSQUED

Time Magazine was shocked to discover that 24% of Americans think Obama is a Muslim and less than half, 47%, believe he is a Christian.  Of course Time immediately tries to explain how all these people are wrong:

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2011799,00.html

But the real problem for Obama and for Time Magazine is that they failed to appreciate the simple truth that values of Islam are diametrically opposed to traditional American values.  One can obviously be a Muslim and believe in American values, but Islam and Sharia law, as practiced in much of the Muslim world, is not compatible with our values.  Most Americans understand that instinctively.  Obviously Obama does not.  The following is from his Ramadan Proclamation:

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality.

The problem is that to Muslims, and apparently President Obama, words like justice, progress, tolerance and dignity of human beings mean very different things in the Muslim world than in America.

Justice

In the Muslim world, justice is Sharia law.  This is the same law that was used to justify stoning a young couple to death for alleged adultery.  Right now in Saudi Arabia they are deciding whether or not to permanently paralyze someone, by severing his spine, as part of his punishment.   There is no comparisonbetweenthe Muslim definition of justice and our definition of justice.

Progress

I don’t pretend to know what Obama meant by Islam advancing progress.  If you look at the winners of a Nobel prize, in any category, you won’t find very many Muslims.    But, I would give Obama a pass on this, because progress is measured in the eyes of the beholder.

Tolerance

I don’t know how anyone can use the word tolerance in connection with a religion that does not believe in tolerance.  Muslims certainly don’t tolerate other religions.  They don’t even tolerate gay people and they don’t tolerate personal behavior that is inconsistent with Sharia law.  Failing to grow a proper Muslim beard in Afghanistan could get you killed.  Infidels (anyone who is not Muslim) are not even allowed to visit holy cities like Mecca.   It appears to me that tolerance, in the Muslim world, means that everyone else must tolerate Islam.  It is the exact opposite of what we mean by tolerance.

Dignity of All Human Beings

It is hard to believe that Islam is  advancing the dignity of all human beings.   That certainly does not apply to women

Diversity and Racial Equality

If President Obama honestly believes that Islam is a faith known for diversity and racial equality, he does not understand what diversity and racial equality means.  Sharia law is not exactly known for celebrating diversity.  How can we possibly describe a religion which calls for the extermination of Jews a religion known for racial equality?   Please!

If Obama really believes that the values of Islam are compatible with our values, he either doesn’t understand Islam, or he doesn’t understand American values.   I believe the American people have had it with this type of politically correct moral relativism.  They are tired of having Christians constantly put down as narrow minded bigots, while ignoring the complete lack of tolerance by Muslims.  We can and should tolerate people who choose to be Muslim.   But our values are not the values of Islam and tolerance does not mean throwing away our core values in a vain attempt to avoid offending those who are often offended by our very existence.

George Bush said Muslim was a religion of peace.  That obviously is far from true.  What he should have said is that most Muslims are peaceful people.  But Barack Obama has gone one step farther.  He has said that our values and the values of Islam are the same.  That is why so many people think he is a Muslim.  It is also why so many question whether or not he is a Christian.  The real problem for Obama is that we do understand him.  We just don’t like what we see.

SENATE UPDATE

After writing my analysis last night, I was stunned this morning to check the Cook Report.  This is extremely consistent with my other sources, but if anything, this is even more stunning for Democrats.   The Cook report is down to only 6 safe Senate Seats, one likely Dem and one lean Dem.  West Virginia moved from Safe Dem to likely Dem.  That is shocking. 

This means if the Republicans win the current toss-ups, which is certainly possible, they pick up 11 seats and take over control with 52 Republicans, 46 Democrats and 2 Independents.   Republicans also gained in polls in almost every House seat.  It is important to realize that these polls were taken before Obama insulted 70% of the country by supporting the ground zero mosque, not supporting the ground zero mosque, maybe supporting the ground zero mosque, maybe not supporting the ground zero mosque,  to:  “what mosque?”  in one day.

SENATE: TO GOP OR NOT GOP

I prepared the following analysis to summarize the current projections for the November election.  All these projections are based on the lastest Rasmussen polls.  A couple of things are crystal clear:

1.  Republicans have improved their position in 14 states.  While Democrats have improved their chances of keeping Senate seats in some states, they have made no progress toward taking any Republican seats.  The only exception is in Florida, where Crist switched to run as an independent after losing big time in the Republican Primary.  Right now Rubio is ahead of Crist.

2.  Control of the Senate is definitely in play.  Even if the election was today the Republicans would have a good chance of winning 51 seats.  If trends continue to deteriorate for Obama and Democrats, the Republican chances of taking back control of the Senate increase exponentially.

If Harry Reid loses in Nevada and Barbara Boxer loses in California, it will be very difficult for Democrats to retain control of the Senate.

CURRENT SENATE   57 DEMOCRATS  41 REPUBLICANS 2 INDEPENDENTS

PROJECTED GOP PICK-UP (NOT INCLUDING TOSS-UP STATES)   5

PROJECTED SENATE   52  DEMOCRATS  46 REPUBLICANS  2 INDEPENDENTS

REPUBLICANS HAVE IMPROVED THEIR POSITION, SINCE JANUARY IN THE FOLLOWING STATES:

Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, California, Indiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin. 

 If the Republicans win the toss up states, which are Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Wisconsin, they will be within 1 vote of taking control.  There are four states consider leaning Democrat where the Republican could easily win.  These are California, Connecticut, Nevada and Washington.

 While it is too early to predict Republicans taking control of the Senate, it is certainly possible.  If trends continue to deteriorate for Obama and for Democrats, Republicans could do even better.  Right now only seven Democratic seats can really be considered safe:  Hawaii, Maryland, New York, New York (S), Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia.   Even two of these seats, New York (S) and West Virginia could go Republican under the right circumstances.

 While it is mathematically possible for Republicans to get a 60 vote majority, Republicans would have to beat either Inouye, Mikulski, Leahy or Schumer.  Absent illness or death, that would seem highly improbable.   I think the very best, roll the table day for the GOP would result in a total flip with the end result 57 Republicans, 41 Democrats and 2 Independents.  Not very likely, but also not impossible, particular if Obama continues his self destruction tour.

DUNNING’S LAW – UNDERSTANDING THE LIBERAL MIND

Professor Dunning, Cornel University, did a study of incompetent people in 2000.  He was shocked to discover that the number one characteristic of an incompetent person is that they don’t know they are incompetent.  In fact his study showed that incompetent people tended to be extremely confident in their ability, even more confident than people who actually can perform well.  

http://articles.sfgate.com/2000-01-18/news/17635543_1_percentile-dunning-incompetent

Perhaps this, more than any other study, demonstrates the problem with the liberal left.   The reason they are so arrogant when they are so clearly wrong is that they are incapable of even recognizing the truth.   Even when confronted with facts that contradict their opinion, they still think they are right.

The following articles prove the point:

Harold Ford and George Stephanopoulos are competent.  They recognize that the ground zero mosque has nothing to do with freedom of religion.  This is about recognizing the simple reality that putting a mosque in this location is a really bad idea:

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2010/08/17/ex-dem-aide-stephanopoulos-and-ex-dem-congressman-discuss-impact-ny-

Eugene Robinson is not competent.  He thinks it’s Republicans who fail to understand the issue:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/16/AR2010081603306.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

Anita Dunn is incompetent.   Note the arrogant, condescending tone, based on utter nonsense.  Even some prominent Muslims are speaking up saying this is a really bad idea.  But Anita Dunn, who considers Mother Theresa and Chairman Mao to be equally great, cannot understand this:

http://dailycaller.com/2010/08/17/dunn-acts-as-obama-attack-dog-on-mosque-says-gop-solidifying-its-reputation-for-intolerance/

Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are competent.  They get it:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/08/17/2010-08-17_surprised_pols_call_obama_a_party_pooper.html

Here’s the bottom line.  This is why hard-core left-wing liberals have always failed and why they always will fail.   They can never succeed, because they are incompetent.  And, according to Dunning’s law, they are incapable of realizing they are incompetent, so there is no hope of change.  Nothing Obama has done in the last month or so contradicts the theory.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!

The following is the statement by Barack Obama regarding his celebration of Ramadan in the White House this Friday:

Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God.  This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared.  But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection – a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere.  For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.   Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality.  And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country. And today, I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world – and your families and friends – as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan.

Sadly, I suspect Barack Obama believes this to be true.  But the problem is that Islam’s definition of justice, progress, tolerance and dignity of all human beings has no resemblance to the Judeo-Christian definition of those concepts.  Under Islam, justice means Sharia law.  Classic example is that unfortunate woman who is about to be stoned to death in Iran for adultery.  Under Islam, progress means an Islamic republic, with Sharia law and mandatory worship of Allah.  Under Islam tolerance means other religions must never ever say anything negative about Islam, but infidels (non-muslims) can be exterminated.  Under Islam dignity means that women cannot go to school, cannot drive a car, cannot have a job, cannot travel outside the home without a male escort and in many cases must wear burkas.

I wonder if anyone in the White House figured out that Ramadan traditionally ends on September 10, 2010, so the big traditional celebration would be held on September 11.  That is such a nice touch!

It is now clear that either Obama is deliberately trying to destroy his own political future, or he is really that naïve and incompetent.  The Democrats were already in desperate trouble and our genius in charge decides to pour gas on the fire by celebrating Ramadan in the White House and then talking about how Islam can teach us tolerance.   People are outraged over the out of control spending and Michelle takes a wildly extravagant vacation to Spain, followed by a rush trip to the Gulf to show they care, before their long overdue 10 day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard.  Of course this was preceded by Obama’s trip to Texas where he tried to blame the bad economy on Bush.  It is hard to imagine him doing more damage to his own political cause if he tried.  Therefore, I must conclude, that yes,  he really is that naïve and incompetent.  We don’t have to worry about anyone destroying Obama: he is doing it to himself.

I know a lot of people are concerned because they believe Obama is deliberately trying to destroy this country.  They need fear no more.  Nothing could protect us more from progressive government than to have leadership of this caliber leading the charge.   Roll Tide!

COLORADO QUIVER

The Senate primary election in Colorado will be another indicator of outlook for the November election.   Bennet is the designated Democratic Party favorite.  He was appointed, by Democratic Governor Bill Ritter,  to the position to replace Ken Salazar, the current Secretary of the Interior.  Prior to Salazar leaving this seat it would have been considered one of the safest Democratic Senate seats.

Bennet had everything going for him.  He had lot of money.  He was given stimulus money hand outs from the Obama administration.  He is the incumbent.  He had strong support in the media.   Obama personally campaigned for him.  The Obama administration even tried to bribe Romanof into dropping out to clear the path for Bennet.  (sound familiar?)   But a funny thing happened on the way to the Forum.  Romanof, who had squat for money, started to gain on Bennet.  Then, at the last minute, Bill Clinton showed up to campaign for Romanof.  Odds are that Clinton had little impact, because about 60% of the vote was by absentee ballot and those people had voted before Clinton got involved.   It is becoming clear that the Clintons are more and more willing to distance themselves from Obama.

If Bennet loses, it is another public slap in the face for Obama.  It basically means NOBODY he has campaigned for has even survived the primary.  That would be very bad news for the administration.

Romanof is not exactly a great choice for the Senate.  He brags about being more progressive than Bennet.  Since Bennet is a hard-core tax and spend liberal, that is pretty amazing.  It looks like either Republican candidate will beat either Democratic candidate.

So, here’s the deal.  Obama can’t win anything tonight.  Even if Bennet squeaks by, Obama will get zero credit.  If Romanof loses, it will be viewed (correctly) as another big Obama bust.   If Bennet loses, Democrats will be in a massive race to see who can distance themselves fastest and farthest from the Annointed One.

ROLL TIDE

It is increasingly clear that a revolution will take place on November 2, 2010.  At first, I was hoping for the Republicans to win back the House.  Then I was hoping they would win back control of the Senate.  Both of those events are now very likely with the takeover of the House almost certain.  The White House is shock.

http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/wehner/338666

I have been checking the polls and unless they are totally wrong things are even worse than is being reported.   Here is the latest on the House races from Real Clear Poliitics:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/house/2010_elections_house_map.html

But this is extremely misleading.    The problem with this analysis is that there are no longer 148 “safe” Democratic seats.  That analysis was based on prior records of incumbent Democrats winning re-election, not based on current polling data.  Democrats are behind in about 48 of those “safe” districts.

What this means is that there are between 80 and 100 seats where Democrats probably win regardless of national trends.  These are districts where there is a minority Democratic congressional representative in a highly ethnic district.  Those people are extremely unlikely to lose.  (Think Maxime Waters) There are also some representatives from very liberal non-ethnic districts which will also likely continue to be Democratic.  (Think Nancy Pelosi)  But the rest of them are definitely in play and right now the Democrats are trailing everywhere!

We could, and I emphasize the word “could” see the Republicans end up with more than 300 seats in the House. 

Following is the latest from the Senate:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/senate/2010_elections_senate_map.html

The odds are looking better that Republicans retake control of the Senate.   The bottom line is that only 37 Senators are up for re-election.  Of that number, 19 are Democrats and 18 are Republicans.  Most of the projections that have Democrats retaining control of the Senate require Barbara Boxer winning re-election in California.  If she loses in California, it will be very hard for Democrats to retain control of the Senate.

Here is the shocking news.  There are NO safe Senate seats this year.

Here is the list of Democrats up for re-election in 2010:

 Even now Democrats are “expecting” to lose 8 Senate seats.  This is the projection by the die-hard optimists.  It is possible that the Democrats will lose every current seat, because there is a nationwide throw the bums out attitude.  Just look at the above list.  None of these people are guaranteed re-election.  The Republicans would have to win every Republican seat and 17 Democratic seats to get a 60 vote majority.  While that is far from predictable, it is not outside the realm of possibility.

Finally, recall that 2010 is a census year.  That means that Republicans would be in charge of making redistricting decisions.  This election could literally remove Democrats from power for an entire generation.

The odds increase daily, primarily because of the continued arrogance and incompetence of this administration.  The Spanish Fly venture by Michelle Obama was a huge mistake that will cost Democrats big time this fall.  Unless sometime big happens soon, this is going to be a wild ride.

(Democrats are beyond desperate:  Re-read Wag the Donkey.  Remember there is nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal.  No party in recent history has been more cornered than the Democratic Party this year.)

PIECES OF 8

The decision by the federal judge in San Francisco to declare proposition 8 unconstitutional was a gift, to Republicans.  This decision may just push the entire Democratic Party over the edge with regard to the November election.  The Democrats were already in deep yogurt and the ethics trials of Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters made things worse. 

Now throw in this ruling and you have a perfect political storm.  The vast majority of Americans do not want gay marriage.  It has been voted down every time it was put on a ballot, anytime, anywhere.  People don’t want gay marriage and they specifically don’t want gay marriage imposed on them by a gay activist judge after they voted against it, TWICE!  There is no worse example of judicial activism than the overturn of a constitutional amendment because the judge thinks it is unconstitutional.  This is absurd and no amount of spin is going to make it go away.  The very last thing Democrats want to talk about, other than the economy, and illegal immigration is gay marriage.  (Actually, what would you want to talk about if you were a Democrat up for re-election?   I know, blame Bush!!!)

Right now Elena Kagan appears to be on her way to the Supreme Court, but don’t be surprised if this doesn’t even derail that.  Democratic Senators up for re-election this fall should think really hard before voting to confirm this left wing radical to a permanent position on the Supreme Court.  Republicans would be wise to find a way to delay the vote until after the August recess.   If they manage to delay the vote, she may never be confirmed.  If she is confirmed, the RINO Republicans and Senators pretending to be conservatives who voted for this nomination will pay a heavy price at the polls the next time they face the electorate. 

If you think the polls for Democrats seeking re-election are bad now, just wait a couple of weeks.  The wind is blowing at the Republicans back and by the end of Labor Day weekend Democrats will be in full retreat.  Enjoy the ride!

POINT OF VIEW?

The following picture is obviously doctored and is extremely unflattering to the President of the United States.  It is also hysterical, so I couldn’t resist posting it:

 

I got this from radiopatriot.wordpress.com.  I am not sure of the original source.

Sarah Palin said Obama lacked the cojones to take on illegal immigration.  Rush Limbaugh said Obama added a dose of must needed estrogen to the View.  Here is the point:  the reasons these are so funny is that they strike a nerve.  Let’s face it, Obama is a girly man.  He went to the view, because that is where he felt comfortable.
