A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.

Pause a moment, reflect back.

These events are actual events from history.

They really happened!!!

Do you remember?

1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists.

3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.

4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists.

5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.

6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.

7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists.

8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.

9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists.

10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.

11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists.

12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists.

13.. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people... Absolutely No Profiling!

They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

According to The Book of Revelations:

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.

And Now:
For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United states of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most extremely liberal Senator in Congress (in other words an extremist) and in his 40's.

Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???

I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story ' Forest Gump' so aptly put it,
The funny thing is

First of all, nobody doubts that Muslims did bad things in the name of Islam. But since you want people to reflect on history, think back on some history yourself, such as what other people have done in the name of religions other than Islam.

The Iquasition. The Salem Witch Hunt. Murders & dismemberment by Onate.

Second of all, nobody has any proof that Obama is a Muslim, much less a Muslim extremist/ terrorist.

Third, the Bible does NOT say that the anti-christ would be a muslim. Islam wouldn't be a religion until 500 years AFTER the book of revelation was written.

Fourth, the US Constitution says that "...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

So take your Swiftboating load of B.S. somewhere else.

The lunatic fringe is coming out of the closet.

Plus, such conduct is now encouraged by the New Mexican. Its truly unfortunate that the New Mexican sold out its commentary section to a low-bid, troll-friendly operation such as Topix.

It's a sign of desperation by McCain supporters. They see McCain's numbers trailing Obama & got the greenlight to start swiftboating since he can't (or won't) campaign on the issues.

As I mentioned earlier, McCain is sleipping in the polls.

Obama: 50%
McCain: 42%
http://www.gallup.com/poll/110974/Gallup-Dail...

If this Electoral College poll is accurate, then McCain is tanking hard:

Obama: 339.7
McCain: 198.3

Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, & Nevada are now leaning towards Obama.

Pennsylvania, Michigan & Colorado are for Obama.

Only Indiana & Missouri are toss-ups.

Steve--a lot of research and effort in that post-
but it is very misguided and comes from a very scary bunch like the CNP.

The week before the Republican Party met in its convention, the country's most influential conservatives met quietly at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis to get to know Sarah Palin. The assembly were members of the Council for National Policy (started by Tim Lahay of the "Left Behind" book series), an ultra-secretive group that networks wealthy right-wing donors together with top conservative operatives to plan long-term movement strategy. CNP members have included: Tony Perkins, James Dobson, Grover Norquist, Tim LaHaye and Paul Weyrich. At a 2000 meeting of the CNP, George W. Bush promised to nominate only pro-life judges; in 2004, then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told the group, "The destiny of the nation is on the shoulders of the conservative movement." The group then told John McCain that this was his choice for VP after he had only met the lady for the second time. This is a scary thought that the candidate had little to do with the vetting or selection of Sarah Palin. The main qualification of Palin is that she believes in the “rapture” and believes that the war with Iraq will spread to Iran and will bring about the proverbial “End Times.” Probably why she is so glad her son is in Iraq is that he can begin the shooting war on innocents to create the apocalypse once she is in office.

Steve, your diatribe risks being actionable by uninformed voters and assassins. Politics are by definition a rough game, and not a sport for the faint of heart; but at some point the conduct of the campaign conducted by McCain-Palin goes way over the top. By being so divisive, McCain risks being literally unable to govern by creating an environment of hostility and division that he can not return from. Democrats so angered by Florida 2000 and what they perceive as the theft of an election in the Supreme Court case: Bush versus Gore, are thirsting for the impeachment of Bush-Cheney and their indictment for war crimes resulting from the illegal invasion of Iraq under International Law. Impeachment desire could easily shift to McCain-Palin. Memories of the flimsy evidence in the Clinton impeachment have bruised the egos of Democrats and lowered the legal standard to making impeachment something that can be done on a whim. Conversely, the frenzy that rabid right-wing Republicans have been whipped into by the recent rallies where “Bomb Obama” and “kill the Terrorist Obama” have become public rallying cries of the majority of attendees is creating a poisoned atmosphere for Presidential politics and the fears of assassination of yet another Presidential candidate/Black man (JFK, RFK, Malcolm X, MLK). Admittedly, crazies can exist on both sides---but it is the responsibility of the candidates to not let it get so out of hand. Thankfully, McCain has on October 10th finally spoken to this. The Republican Party has long been associated with hate speech and with being associated with Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” of pitting poor Whites against Blacks; or playing the race card in the immigration debate. In a much too simplified explanation, I would venture to say that Democrats unable to control the reaction to this fear mongering lost control of its 1968 Convention and allowed riots to happen across the Black inner cities. Democrats, the true party of the big tent, have so many constituencies that they cannot agree on how to move forward and attack a Republican Party and controlled media (Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Fox News) that acts in lockstep to the RNC’s daily talking points.

We need Change that we can believe in.

You're a CLOWN. Educate yourself:

Mes·siah (m&#601; s&#299;&#8242;&#60 1;)

noun

- any expected savior or liberator of a people or country (as in "African American messiah")

Words matter, speeches can change America; both are tools of great leadership. Leadership that has been absent these last eight years with a seemingly illiterate Administration.

Slogans sell. Remember “Remember the Alamo?”; “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too”; “The New Deal”; “The New Frontier”; and “The Great Society.”

Then there are the great quotations:“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security”; “A day that will live in infamy”; “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.(Eisenhower).”

“A day that will live in infamy”---allowed FDR to move a very unwilling and completely unready nation to war in World War Two.

Remember a “uniter not a divider”; compassionate conservative”,“I don’t believe in nation-building and won’t get involved in foreign entanglements”---famous words of George W. Bush that many people believed in and became the real basis of their vote in 2000. Things that can be proven today to be totally untrue about a leader some thought was ready to lead. Yet, you fell for them, hook, line and sinker.

"The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie - deliberate and dishonest --- but the myth - persistent and persuasive....." - John F. Kennedy.

Words did matter for Barack Obama in every one of his 45 minute speeches, when the Neoconservatives picked out a sound byte and held it against him. In dozens of speeches so inspiring that they will guide history---they stand almost forgotten on his website. Worse yet, a small group of greedy right-wing self-interested anti-patriots can destroy our hopes, our dreams, and the change we can believe in by running ads with their carefully crafted sound bytes. Our hopes, our dreams, and the change we can believe in are the central core of the Obama campaign.

A theme echoed some 40 years earlier: "Some men see things as they are and say, why; I dream things that never were and say, why not." - Senator Robert F. Kennedy; 1968 Presidential Campaign.

Obama’s opponents dismiss him as a novice and unready; and even level the ridiculous charge of him being an elitist. Yet, the same was said of another President:“The free society who do not take care of its many who are poor will not be able to save it’s few who are rich.”- John F. Kennedy.

John McCain is a rebel not a maverick. A rebel is one that seeks to destroy the system and not work from within.
