Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


• Enact a Global Poverty Act, which means you and I picking up the tab for Barack’s ba-roke brother in Africa. Yep, as I type he’s working on having us pay new “world” taxes (S.2433).

• “Voluntary Public Service” for young people. Or, as IBD likes to call B-HO’s proposal, national involuntary servitude.

• Downplaying of the terror threat. Terror threat, what terror threat? You see a terror threat? Not B-HO.

• A liberal out the wazoo anti-2nd Amendment voting record

• Abortion being available to mommy in all nine months of her pregnancy

• Parents not being notified when their 13-year-old girl goes in for an abortion.

• Opposing any and all bans on partial birth abortion. I don’t think the abortion issue means squat to some “evangelicals” anymore. Especially the “hip and groovy” dorks. Abortion to these twaddlers is so yesterday and so contentious that if they take a strong stand for life they might not be viewed as “cool” and “open” any longer, and they can’t have that. They and their cute Jesus live for public approval.

• Advancing the radical homosexual activist lobby and voting against the defense of traditional marriage.

• The creation of “special rights” for people who engage in homosexuality for the sole purpose of putting them at the front of the line on issues of employment, housing and litigation.

• The advancement of all “hate crimes” legislation, which ultimately could be used to silence pastors who believe—according to their own convictions—that homosexual behavior is . . . uh . . . wrong . . . and preach the same from biblical texts.

• The continued funding of Planned Parenthood clinics in our nation's inner cities, which are performing genocide against the populations of African Americans living there.

• Former 20 year track record of going to a church that propagates anti-white, anti-American and anti-Jewish blather, zany 9/11 “was our fault because we’re racists” rancor, and a “black value system,” all via a pastor who has hung out with Qaddafi and honors Louis Farrakhan.

• And last, but not least, his past (and close) associations with radical Marxists such as mentor Frank Marshall Davis, Gerald Kellman (a disciple of Saul “The Red” Alinsky), and terrorist Bill Ayers

I believe aside from all the above, Barack is like OMG totally awesome, as one bearded woman put it at the DNC. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to blow off the aforementioned facts amidst all the orchestrated love, children, confetti, firecrackers, gaudy-a$$ stage sets, over unctuous liberals spewing specious talking points, weepy testimonies, O’Biden’s hair plugs, MO’s pastel dresses and Sheryl Crow’s crooning. Oh well, at least I got to see some of the most amazing propagandists in US history, and that, my friends, truly gave me the chills.

osama obama
I would like to know how a true christian could vote for osama i mean obama.

Sure vs. Unsure
I am conservative and that is how the roost is ruled as well. Three daughters, I want them on the straight and narrow with strong and grounded morals and values. Here comes my, HOWEVER. As an African-American male, this is the first time my opinion truly matters. Feels good. Notice, I did not say my interests were represented. Sen. Obama's positions do not represent mine. Thus the Sure vs. Unsure context. I see the devistation - real, perceived or unfounded. Label it what you will, but 70% out of wedlock kids, 3/4 of black men with criminal records, degradation of neighborhoods, etc. Believe me, I firmly believe every tub should stand on its own bottom. But, as someone from this culture you personalize this pain. This is the very first time I've witnessed black families, men in particular, feel a true part of this country. They feel like their voice matters and have become involved with things they never gave a second look towards in the past. I'm not saying Sen. Obama represents the opinions of the black culture. Instead, he is a symbol. A symbol of "this is what it feels like to actually matter"! Kind of like when the middle child starts to get noticed for things other than being, well, the middle child. I'm sure of the messenger, just not the message he's carrying in representing the country. My delimna isn't with his choice of running this country, it is more of should he be chosen for what he would represents to a segment of the population. The perception of WHY is truly not known by other races. Either way, elected or not, blacks have won because they feel like their voice matters and hopefully some stereotypes have been broken.
