Obama's Views --1995
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 6:41 PM
Politico has posted the questionnaire that Barack Obama filled out --look at his handwritten notes-- before running for Illinois State Senate in 1995.

Obama was hard left then, has been hard left in the U.S. Senate, and if elected president, will be the hardest left president by far in our history.

The Politico.com story is here.  Note the last set of questions and answers:

Do you support state legislation to:

a.  ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns?  Yes.
b.  ban assault weapons?  Yes.
c.  mandatory waiting periods and background checks?  Yes.

One-a-day Obama
BHO's long slither to the D nomination has to be the gift that keeps giving. Every day another little piece of the BHO puzzle is revealed but slowly as he finishes off the Hilldog. By November we will have heard the whole Black/ Lib/Marxist foundation for this preeing LibRat Obama. Even McCain can win in this walkover!
Thanks to the idiots in the Socialist Democrat Party that can do nothing to stop this...HAHA!

ban the manufacture of hand guns?
If he bans the manufacture of hand guns where will police and millitary people get them? Weapons should all be foreign made?

Anti Constitutional
The gun answers are NOT perfectly logical and reasonable, they are naive and childish, the product of a narrow and blindly Utopian outlook at best and of a darker police-state authoritarianism at worst.

Throw Money At It

Check out the answer to #23:

"Increased funding, and a thorough review of service delivery systems."

Yea, that's the ticket. First throw money at it (whose money?). Then study it to see what happened.

I guess that's the liberal equivalent to "Shoot first and ask questions later."

Whatever happened to sound, reasoned analysis followed by efficient execution? Oh yea, that's the private sector. We're trying to kill that beast!

Un-Patriot-Ingrate, in 1995
Bush was enjoying his position as Governor of the State of Texas. He seems to have ceased drinking sometime in the late 1970s. Probably good for him, for his family.

Maybe you will recall that in 1994, GWB easily, with the strategeries of Karl Rove, defeated that unlovely, but somewhat popular incumbent Ann Richards.

What Richards and GWB had in common was recovery from alcoholism. You will notice that Richards had plenty of nasty things to say about GWB, and about his father, but even she knew he was a sober man.

He is at least more sober than you.

Aileen and Briggsy
seem overjoyed at the wee look at babakazama's heretofore hidden ideas on the important issue of The Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

I am sure while listening to your 8-Track tapes of the sound track of the movie "Hair," the two of you hadn't taken a measure of the importance many Americans in key states place on this civil right. In fact, I would bet the two of you would regard the NRA as a domestic terrorist organization, rather than a bi-partisan civil rights advocate for all Americans.

But, that is ok. Make sure you let the folks in PA, SC, NC, GA, OH, MI, IA, WI, TN, KY, SD, ND, VT, NH, ME, FL, AZ, NM, TX, OK, NE, MO, AR, AK, VA, OR, WA, MS, AL and other freedom loving states EXACTLY what babakazama really thinks about the importance of the civil right enumerated in the 2nd Amendment. Say it a lot. Say it loud. The electorate will be energized.

HOLD THE PHONES!!!!:
This JUST in :

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/apr/01/baracko bama.uselections2008

Some babbling dimocrat fool has just annointed babakazama America's 'Nelson Mandela.'

The only similarity I see, other than skin color, is the angry wife thing. Has Michelle ever had anyone 'necklaced?' For those of you in Cambridge, Berkley, Santa Fe and Ann Arbor, necklacing is even worse than waterboarding, if you can imagine such a thing. Really. It is where a burning tire is put around one's neck...until dead. Winnie Mandela was rather big on this. I won't specualte as to whether or not her attitude toward the death penalty is typically black.

This is the same sort of ENORMOUS precedent as that bloated, overfed, overrated moo-cow Toni Morrison christening Bill Clinton America's '1st black president.'

A question, for all: will babakazama, if he survives the dimocrat Death March to Denver, going to be as feckless, as reckless, as beguiling and be-galling as the 1st black president? If babakazama wins, will I be called a bigot if I point out he is the SECOND black president? (not that it is going to really happen or anything.)

Obama 911 - it's here
I have been posting this all weekend. This is weird but the video was done over the weekend by a democrat. It's crude. But check it out.

http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/3/29/65423/4259

Picture this 527 video
Soft music in the background “ America the Beautiful”.
Sound plays : Reverend Wright screaming “God Damn America, God Damn America”

On the screen you hear the planes zeroing in on the towers, people on the street looking up and screaming. Now you see the towers engulfed in flames, Americans jumping from the burning buildings to avoid the flames and to their deaths. People on the street terrorized, running, screaming, stopping, lifting up total strangers and dragging them along. Firefighters running up the stairs carrying all their equipment on their backs. Knowing this is their duty as Americans.
Finally: Family members of the victims standing on street corners
clutching photo of their missing family members. Have you seen this person ?
Final scene : Construction workers and firefighters raising the American flag amidst the rubble.
All the while Pastor Wright is screaming above the soft music of America the Beautiful "God Damn America, God Damn America, The chickens have come home to roost".

Obama " Don't tell me words don't matter".
Narrator: The words you have heard are spoken from the pulpit of Barak Obama’a church of 20 years. These words are from his pastor and mentor. Would you trust Barak’s judgement to become Commander in Chief of this great nation ?

Cottoneared..
We call ourselves "patriots" to throw it back in your stinking, stupid, nationalistic faces--to let you know that, even though you wear the pins and buy the T-shirts, even though you challenge the patriotism of any countryman who holds different views, there are some Americans who will simply not allow second-raters like you expropriate our (and our children's) moral, cultural, and civic heritage. THAT's why we call ourselves "patriots." Would that we did not have to. Would that good-for-nothings like you did not profane love of country with your belligerant and bullying nonsense.

If this guy, Hussein,
is suppose to be so smart, why does he continue to do stupid things, last i saw, this "smart guy", was receiving about 30% of the white lib vote, and it's an absolute fact, that no candidate has ever won the Presidency, without receiving a majority of the white male vote, and more seems to come out daily, that would make it less likely that he could ever receive a plurality of that vote, could this be the reason that these super delegates are withholding their endorsement, do they know something brobby-briggsy, don't know, well, of course they do, if they know night from day, they've got it all over this girl, yes they do know, they know that Hussein is quickly becoming radioactive, unelectable, that is, and the FIX is definitely in, could it be, that man of steel, able to leap small buildings with a single bound, #1 in your programs and your hearts, ALGORE, it's either Mrs. Bill Clinton or him, it ain't gonna' be Hussein, the bigwigs know, most of it hasn't even come out yet, the really good stuff, too, so to the back of the bus for the black guy, nice try, but NO cigar, Hussein, it's the White feminist liberal party, boy, and you ain't it!!!

Down here in Florida we've got this neat-o law called 'the threaten law'. A guy doesn't have to be IN your house for you to put 2-through his ear. Just needs to be close to your home and threatening to do so. Doesn't have to be wielding an obvious weapon. Oh, I like that about the South!

Also, all us law-abider-non-felons can carry loaded pistols in our cars. I always did in L.A. too, but here it's legal.

Of course...
It needn't be said that when Mitt changes his views, it's his political beliefs evolving over time.

And yes, I find Obama's views on most things disturbing. But after the last seven years of 'compassionate neo-con' rule, I find it difficult to imagine that a scary liberal could do that much worse.

Good answers!
Those are perfectly logical and reasonable answeres. What a terrific President this man will make!
