DNC: Fractured Fairy Tales

(Black) McCain Supporter Wants to Clear the Air

"Last week, James T. Harris went from being an average guy to one of the most reviled men in Black America. At a Waukesha, Wisconsin, town hall rally with Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin on Thursday, the African-American radio host from Milwaukee pleaded with McCain to step up his attacks against Barack Obama. 'We have the good Reverend Wright. We have [the Reverend Michael L.] Pfleger,' Harris said to the cheers of thousands of White audience members. 'I am begging you, sir. I am begging you. Take it to him.' In a show of true solidarity, Harris, 44, and the Republican nominee then hugged."

Premature Celebration? CNN’s Post-Debate Crew Suggests There’s No Stopping Obama Now

'Within an hour of the conclusion of Wednesday night’s presidential debate, CNN’s political panel began sketching out John McCain’s political obituary, with senior analyst David Gergen drawing a round of laughter when he replied 'beats the hell out of me' when asked by anchor Anderson Cooper what McCain could do next. Gergen bleakly suggested McCain had no chance and should end the race with his 'honor intact' (which means no more attacks on Barack Obama)"

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Obama ‘Doesn't Have an Affiliation with ACORN’

Toobin must not be watching his own network, for CNN investigative correspondent Drew Griffin outlined on October 6 how 'the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said,' including how the two worked together on the board of the Annenberg Challenge Project and the Woods Foundation, and how Obama’s political career began during a meeting at Ayers’s house. While the network omitted ACORN’s name from an October 9 news brief about a raid on the organization’s Las Vegas office, the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s story about the raid acknowledged how ACORN 'has a liberal political agenda and ties to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.'"

Bishop Holley Calls on Black Community to Stop Planned Parenthood's Racial Slaughter

Bishop Holley Calls on Black Community to Stop Planned Parenthood's Racial Slaughter

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Bishop Martin D. Holley, Auxiliary Bishop of Washington, issued a statement responding to a report by Planned Parenthood's Guttmacher Institute showing that black women have abortions at five times the rate of white women.

"The number one cause of death in the African American community has been abortion. We have lost over 13 million lives. To put that in perspective, it is one third of our present Black population," wrote the bishop. "It [abortion] clearly must be at the heart and center of our discussion of the survival of African American people."

Bishop Holley serves as Chair of the Sub-Committee on African American Affairs and is a member of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).

The bishop condemned the $300 million of federal government funding poured into Planned Parenthood every year, and vowed to "join my voice with others in the Black community who have called for the defunding of the abortion industry."

The report cited was released in September by the Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood's research branch, whose avowed mission is to "protect the reproductive choices of all women and men in the United States and throughout the world." (http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/sep/08092308.html)

"As an African American, I am saddened by evidence that Black women continue to be targeted by the abortion industry. The loss of any child from abortion is a tragedy, but we must ask: Why are minority children being aborted at such disproportionate rates?" Bishop Holley said.

"Over 80 percent of Planned Parenthood clinics are located in minority neighborhoods," he lamented. "Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, began the 'Negro Project' to reduce the Black population.

"My brothers and sisters, we can overcome abortion in our nation. Let us defend our community by rededicating ourselves to family life and marriage, promoting the gift of chastity and marital fidelity, committing ourselves to prayer and service to others and defending the life and dignity of each human person. We can welcome every child as a gift and we can overcome abortion."

Obama’s Siren Song: U.S.A. on the Rocks

"My hope is that the American people begin to see through Obama’s smoothness and start to glimpse a deeply dangerous deceiver – one whose promises are designed to blunt serious challenges and inquiry, like his debate remarks concerning offshore drilling. Any serious student of the role played by energy in the complex world economy would quickly, even instinctively, recognize that all available sources of oil simply must be explored, even while new alternatives to petroleum are developed. An uncritical listener to Obama at the third debate might think that the Democratic candidate recognized the need to drill in the outer continental shelf – but a closer examination reveals that that is not what he said. What he said was “we need to look at” offshore drilling. What he really wants to do is to strip existing energy companies of the financial resources to experiment with new technologies and instead construct an enormous government program that would provide grants to fund research projects – an infinitely slower and less efficient way of promoting innovation and progress."

Boehner Releases Analysis Showing ACORN Has Received at Least $31 Million in Federal Funding; Untold Millions More through State & Local Agencies

"House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today released an analysis showing that the left-wing group ACORN, currently under investigation by the FBI for a “coordinated national scam” of voter registration fraud according to the Associated Press, has received at least $31 million in federal funding from various federal agencies since 1998. This total does not count the untold millions more that ACORN has received indirectly through state and local agencies that receive federal block grants."

The Case Against Barack Obama, Part 1

"In promoting his tax cuts, President Kennedy said, 'The soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the (tax) rates now.' When Kennedy says it, it's Camelot. When Reagan says it, it's trickledown. By the way, Kennedy cut taxes by 22 percent (reducing the top marginal rate from 90 percent to 70 percent), and Reagan by 60 percent (top marginal rate from 70 percent to 28 percent). The "unfair, pro-rich" Bush tax cuts that are set to expire? A reduction in the top marginal rate of approximately 7.5 percent. A recent headline in Agence France-Presse says it all: 'Sweden Announces Income Tax Cuts to Boost Jobs.'"

Charlotte Planned Parenthood Covers Up Statutory Rape

"SFLA followed up to find out if Planned Parenthood reported the rape. It had not. The girl falls within the definition of “abused juvenile” under North Carolina law, and the abortion mill was obligated under N.C. Gen. Statue 7B-301 to report the statutory rape:

“'Any person or institution who has cause to suspect that any juvenile is abused, neglected…shall report the case of that juvenile to the director of the department of social services in the county where the juvenile resides or is found.'”

OBAMA AND THE "PROFESSIONAL BLACK-VICTIMS CARTEL"

"Pity the struggling middle class black Americans who simply work to better themselves with nice homes in the suburbs, nice schools for their kids, nice cars and clothes- all the things any of us want. Unfortunately for them, the “Professional Black Victims Cartel” run by the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons and Barack Obamas accuse them of selling out – indicating they are “Uncle Toms” who are just trying to be white – turning their back on their ghetto brothers. There is no win for these folks. By their definition of racism, they become racist themselves, oppressing their own kind. And for lower income blacks who may have dreams of their own, the 'Cartel’s' message is clear: their destiny is to be victims for life."

Why I will never vote for a murderer

"I told the congregation (with some passion), that I would never, ever vote for a man who advocated the murder of a child in the womb. I don't care about his fiscal policies, because the blood of the innocents is on his hands. I also encouraged them to follow the wonderful example of their faithful pastor. I heard later that afternoon that between 400 and 500 turned out. God bless them.

"The Body of Christ in America is a sleeping giant that needs to be awakened. However, the answer to the issue of abortion isn't just to protest; it's also to preach. We are not just to be salt, but we are to be light in a spiritually dark nation. A nation that kills 50 million of its citizens through abortion with no qualms of conscience needs more than a voice of protest. It needs the light of the Gospel.

"We are no different than Nazi Germany. We have given ourselves to the wickedest of sins, and that will eventually have terrible national consequences. We desperately need God's forgiveness, and we need a new heart that can only come with conversion. Only the Gospel can take a self-righteous, blaspheming, idolatrous, hypocritical, baby-killing nation, forgive it, and make it brand new."

Obama Team sends Secret Service agents to intimidate voter on her doorstep

Knock, knock,

Who’s there?

Tick-a

Tick-a who?
Tick-a me off and I take-a your freedom



"The next day, Oct 2nd, this young unsuspecting housewife found two individuals at her door posing as Secret Service agents sent because of her ‘rude’ remarks during a campaign worker’s call. Let’s be honest, the Secret Service has better things to do than play the ‘polite police’. Aside from Jessica’s perceived rudeness, does ‘bad tone’ now fall under the jurisdiction of the Secret Service? Couldn’t the local cops handle bad behavior if there was any? Truly, this wasn’t about her manners. This was the vengeance of a bitter campaign worker disgusted that Jessica had the audacity to know Obama’s history of voting four times against the Infant Born Alive Act in Illinois, and even worse, Jessica having the freedom to speak of it."

and

"The visit of these Secret Service agents, if they really were such, was started as an intimidation tactic by someone in the Obama campaign who wanted to silence Jessica’s opposition. Jessica wisely noted it was doubtful a phone bank volunteer had the clout to call in the Secret Service. It was likely someone from ‘higher’ up in the campaign. Frightening, that Obama’s campaign has enough power to have the Secret Service show up in under 24 hours and intimidate anyone for saying a simple ‘no’ to Obama. More frightening, they didn’t mind misusing their power to achieve their goal. This is BEFORE he is elected; imagine what happens should he be elected. The agents even suggested that 'next time she just go along with the caller and say count me in.' The agents threatened Jessica’s reputation by insinuating they would ‘talk’ to neighbors and friends. "


and


"And the scary question we must really ask NOW is this: what does an Obama nation look like? When did it become illegal to have an opinion? Why would we ever allow someone to take our ability to express our opinions without warfare? Too many have fought for our freedoms, and this is one thing we should fight to the death to ensure. We sure shouldn’t let some overbearing Obama supporter banish us from expressing ourselves in our own cars on our private cell phones. If we haven’t the freedom of thought, speech, and expression – what freedom do we have? "


As I said above, I'm waiting for my "cease & desist" letter.
