Barack Obama's Constant Flip Flops Regarding Iran

Cross posted from Wake up America

Not much time right now to write, but long story short, Obama once again changes his position about Iran.

For the whole story, read The Sun and Commentary Magazine.

As usual Obama was against it before he was for it, then against it again before being for it...etc....

Senator McCain, in his speech yesterday to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, criticized Mr. Obama for opposing a nonbinding resolution designating Iran's primary military organization as terrorists. The Obama campaign responded that their problem with that resolution, sponsored by senators Kyl and Lieberman, had not been the designation of the Iranian guard as a terrorist group, but the idea that it committed American troops in Iraq to countering Iranian influence.

That is from The Sun and Commentary Magazine makes this point:

The relevant section of the Kyl-Lieberman “resolution reads:

[I]t should be the policy of the United States to combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies; [and] to support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments, in support of the policy…with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies.

Nowhere in this language do we find that it gives U.S. troops “an additional mission.” The mission being described here is properly understood as part and parcel of the mission the military already has, which is to win in Iraq. If anything, the additional mission being assigned is to the ”diplomatic, economic, and intelligence” branches of the government.

As spin goes, it’s good. As truth and fact go, it’s bad.

The fact is Barack Obama hasn't a clue and is too inexperience to understand the ramifications of what he speaks about, but is so eager to "appease" not only the terrorist state leaders but his far left base that the truth, what is bad and what is good, what is right or what is wrong...means nothing compared to his policy of appeasement.

No wonder the terrorists are stating they want him to win the election.....says a lot doesn't it?

News for Obama and Obama supporters...when the truth is told, it isn't a smear, that is when someone lies and since a Hamas top adviser, Ahmed Yousef, told WABC radio, "We don’t mind–actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance", John McCain's comment is not only the truth, it is spot on.

When a terrorist endorses you...you have a problem, unless you are a member of the far far left.

Did Obama Really Leave His Church?

Alternate title: Obama Kinda-Sorta Resigned From Trinity United Church But Maybe Not.

Trinity United Christian Church is a resentful, fear-mongering, bigoted, race-baiting, anti-White establishment, anti-Semitic, anti-American, highly politicized, Marxist, Afro-centric, Black Liberation Theology Church with strong ties to the Nation of Islam.

To toss a quote back to Obama. . .“ . . .that’s just not how people should have to operate in their church.”

 

Well, Obama finally left his church, but then again, maybe not. Not really.

How could Obama leave his highly influential friends and not pay a huge political price?

What is patently clear is that he really did not leave his church for any other reason than political expediency. The fact is that his resignation was done to save the church from further pain caused by his candidacy and to save his own candidacy!!! Or more likely, visa versa.

 

His leaving had nothing at all to do with why Americans have been in an uproar for months over his church.

 

Wouldn’t you just love to scream back at BO “It’s the hate-filled theology, stupid!”

  

Did Obama reject any of the philosophy of this resentful, fear-mongering, bigoted, race-baiting, anti-White establishment, anti-Semitic, anti-American, highly politicized, Marxist, Afro-centric, Black Liberation Theology Church with strong ties to the Nation of Islam.? Not!

Did Obama reject specifically the frequent anti-White Establishment remarks made by his “great young pastor,” Rev. Moss, or the anti-Hillary and anti-White remarks made by his good friend, Rev. Pfleger? No!

Did Obama reject any of the tenants of Black Liberation Theology? Absolutely Not!

Did Obama chide the church for anything? NO

What did Obama do? He praised the church and their leaders – his longtime friends.

 

So Obama would have us believe that he really left the church so that all further questions concerning his character can be silenced. That’s not going to happen!

 

We must keep up the pressure until Obama can truly reflect on his faith and finally come to an understanding of why this issue is so important to all Americans.

 

Here’s the answer as to why Obama couldn’t really leave his church.

Why Obama Can Never Leave His Church

 

Watch the video Obama Resigns From Trinity United Church

Here’s the transcription of the above YouTube video of BO’s announcement:

[Please read carefully the transcribed announcement that was carried widely on the national news this weekend. Note how many words are devoted to why he is leaving and how many words praise the church he is leaving.]

In a letter I sent to Trinity uh United uh Church of Christ, uh my home church, uh for some time now uh was apparently released to CNN and so uh I think it’s important that everybody gets to ask me some questions about this.

Uh Michelle and I told Rev. Otis Moss uh that we were uh withdrawing as members of Trinity. Uh It was a decision that Uh Michelle and I had discussed for quite some time after the National Press Club episode. Uh I had discussed it with Rev. Moss, uh we had prayed on it, uh we had uh consulted with a number of friends and family members who are also connected with the church uh and so this is not a decision I come to lightly and frankly it’s one I make with some sadness.

You know, Trinity was where I found Jesus Christ, where we were married, where we were, where our children were baptized, uh we have many friends among the 8,000 congregants who attend there. We are proud of the extraordinary works that the church continues to perform throughout the community. to help the hungry, and uh the homeless, and people who are in need of medical care.

I have tremendous regard for the great young pastor who has taken over uh, Rev. Moss, and continue to admire uh the work that Rev. Wright did in building up the church, but now it’s clear that now that I’m a candidate for president, every time that something is said in the church by anyone, associated with Trinity including the pastors, the remarks will be imputed to me even if they totally conflict with my long-held views, statements, and principles. We obviously saw an example of that, uh in the recent statements by Father Pflager Uh, who is somebody who I’ve known, who I consider a friend, who has done tremendous work in Chicago, but made offensive statements that have no place in our politics and uh in the pulpit, uh, that unfairly mocked and characterized Sen. Clinton in ways that I think are unacceptable.

Uhm , it’s also clear that Rev. Moss and the church had been suffering from all the tension my campaign has visited on them. Uh, we’ve had news organizations harassing members at their homes and their workplaces, we’ve had reporters grabbing church bulletins and calling up the sick and the shut-in uh, in an attempt to get news about the church, uh we’ve had news organizations scrutinizing Rev. Moss’s sermons, uh and attempting to try to make political hay uh out of even the most innocent remarks by him, uh that’s just not how people should have to operate in their church. Uh, it’s not fair to the other members of the church who seek to worsip [that’s what it sounds like] in peace. So our faith remains strong and uh I expect that we will find another church home for our family. Uh obviously Michelle and I uh know that faith and prayer aren’t exercises discharged on Sunday so uh we understand that our faith is something we apply each and every day, and it’s a bulwark for us in our daily lives, uh and so, uh, we wish only the best for our friends, uh, and the wonderful people at Trinity. Uh they’ll be in our thoughts and they’ll be in our prayers and hopefully uh with this decision they will be in a position to get back to doing what they do, which is worshipping God. Uh and hopefully, uh when, uh we join our next church we will be in a position to do what we would like to do at church, which is to worship and fellowship and reflect on our faith. So that’s on the Trinity issue.

Digg It!

Myth vs Fact

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	Sahih BukhariVolume 7, Book 67, Number 406 Narrated Rafi bin Khadij: We were with the Prophet in Dhul-Hulaifa and there the people were struck with severe hunger. Then we got camels and sheep as war booty (and slaughtered them). The Prophet was behind all the people. The people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but the Prophet came there and ordered that the cooking pots be turned upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses with the people. They chased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet said, "Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away from you, treat it in this way." I said. "We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the enemy and we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?" The Prophet said, "If the killing tool causes blood to gush out and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth is a bone, and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."
Tafsir

From Wikipedia: Ghazw or Ghazah (plural ghazawāt) (Arabic: غزو) was originally an Arabic term referring to the battles in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad personally participated.^[1] It has since evolved into a term for battle associated with the expansion of Muslim territory. The term ghazi or Warrior for the faith came to represent participants in these later battles^[2] and is cognate with the terms ghāziya and maghāzī. In modern Turkish the word means "veteran".

Officer Erik Hite-1965-2008

Yesterday, June 1, 2008, I was spending my Sunday like any other--sleeping in late after some studying, listening to my children arguing as to why my son was doing the dishes without being told (my birthday is in June and the kids never remember what day-they know it's in June, just not what day) and snickering over it, the first cup of coffee before more studying and reading my daily reads.

We don't watch a whole lot of tv at my house--I don't have cable, although I do have enough videos and DVD's to out fit my own Blockbuster (or so I've been told). So there was a movie playing and I was once again cracking the books.

Little did I know a drama was playing out in my town--and I didn't find out until the late night news.

Mid-morning, a man started shooting at houses. When officers were called, he shot them--one in the shoulder and one had his head grazed by a bullet. The shooter drove off, with the shoulder shot officer (among others) in the chase. About 20 miles across town, after laying in ambush, the shooter shot Officer Hite several times. He was airlifted to UMC and put on life support, not expected to live. Early this afternoon, Officer Hite lost his struggle, although he was breathing on his own when he breathed his last.

The last time Tucson lost an officer was May 26, 2003.

Officer Hite was 43 years old and a 4 year veteran of Tucson Police Department. He leaves behind his wife, an infant daughter who will "celebrate" her first birthday Saturday, more than likely at her father's graveside, and a son who is in the military. He was also a 21 year Air Force veteran, serving as a sergeant, serving in the 12th Air Force Weather Division. He was surrounded by his wife, children and parents when he died.

Donations are being accepted at any Wells Fargo branch in the name of Officer Eric Hite Benefit Fund. All city flags have been ordered flown at half staff until his funeral and procession.

His accused killer, David N. Delich, was ordered held on $2.5 million bond.

Another Unsavory Obama Associate, Official Blogger a Communist?
In case you didn't know...yet another anti-American associate for Obama's company. So, what we have here is a kid who is an official blogger for the Obama campaign having written for a socialist magazine, is known to favor the anti-American views of Noam Chomsky, had a "communist flag" in his dorm room in college, and has attended riots in France and acted as a flack for them here in America. None of these ideas as espoused by our young Obama blogger are those commonly held by a majority of Americans. In fact, many people would consider a person who appreciates communism not an American at all.

Blog Of The Day (With Petition to Sign)
The Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA) will make it a federal offense to transport a minor girl across state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion if done to evade a parental notification or parental consent law that is in effect in the girl's home state. In addition, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act will require, in a state without parental consent laws, that before an abortion provider performs an abortion on a minor girl who is the resident of a different state, that provider must notify a parent. The abortion provider does not have to notify a parent if the minor has already received authorization from a judge in her home state (judicial bypass), or unless she falls into carefully drafted exceptions to cover cases of abuse or medical emergencies.

ACLU Take Over South Carolina Branch
The question coming up at the South Carolina branch is whether they are a target for their criticism of the national organization. A website of dissenting/former ACLU members protesting hypocritical internal dealings of the ACLU silencing its own board members for dissent AND spying on them. The South Carolina branch signed up for that website, and many think the take over is punishment to silence their criticism.

Public School Helps Parents Create 9 Year Old Transsexual
Absolutely sickening example of how backwards things have gotten out there. Reason 5 billion to homeschool. Parents of a third-grade student at Chatham Park Elementary School approached the administration on April 16 to ask for help in making a "social transition" for their child. The Haverford School District consulted experts on transgender children, then sent letters to parents advising them that the guidance counselor would meet with the school's 100 third-grade students to explain why their classmate would now wear girls' clothes and be called by a girl's name.

David Corn's Dishonest B.S. Argument Against McCain
If you haven't heard yet, the left are trying to create a Reverend Wright controversy over pastor's that have endorsed McCain. They want McCain to refuse their endorsements, blah, blah, blah. One pastor they think is horrible for speaking the truth about how dangerous Islam is. All and all the argument is an ignorant one...a controversy they are trying to create where there isn't one. I try my best to deconstruct it.

ACLU: Judges Gave us a Gift
Jay's co-blogger Nathan Bradfield does a great job summing up the California Supreme Court decision today on gay marriage, and how it affects the overall battle for families. He also does an excellent job interpreting the socialist response of the ACLU, who admits they are circumventing the will of the people and asking for money to continue to do so by convincing courts to overrule the votes of the majority.

ACLU Defends Youthful Terrorists
Here's an outrage for you. The news is a few days old, but it still should boil the blood. How about rehabilitation and re-integration into society for terrorist bombing, captured enemy combatants under the age of 18? That's what the ACLU want to do. I guess we once again see where their sympathies lie.

Obama Sought Endorsement of Marxist Third Party in 1996
Here is some interesting as well as character confirming info about one of Barack Obama's former runs for office. Apparently, Obama actively sought and received the stamp of approval of a Marxist third party that operated briefly in Chicago between 1992 and 1998. The group was called the "New Party" and was started in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison).

ACLU Advice for Muslims Under Surveillance
A report that mosques in Los Angeles and San Diego are under federal surveillance has resurrected fears in the Muslim community about government monitoring and led two civil rights groups Wednesday to call for congressional hearings.

[...]

Corey Saylor, Washington spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the article in the San Diego Union-Tribune "has again raised concerns that our community is being watched."

[...]

ACLU lawyers regularly go to mosques to advise worshipers that they do not have to answer questions from FBI agents about how long they have been in the United States, how often they attend services and what they get out of the sermons…
