Uncovering the Truth

Obama's Senate Record

2008-10-30T14:15:00.004-05:00

So what has Obama done in office since he became a U.S. Senator?

Only 2 major bills he has sponsored have actually become bills.

1) S. 2125, A bill to promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

2) S. 3757, A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 950 Missouri Avenue in East St. Louis, Illinois, as the "Katherine Dunham Post Office Building."

Thank goodness he is working so hard for us! I don't know what I would do if the DR of Congo wasn't helped or the post office wasn't renamed. We'd really be screwed then.

Again I must ask...what has Obama done for us? How does his record show that he will make any beneficial change to the US?

More food for thought: 120 of Obama's 129 sponsored bills haven't made it past the committee level.

Not that I expected to see a large portion of them make it past the committee level, but come on. That's pretty awful.

His numbers are clearly worse than Hillary's too as this chart shows. Interesting, no?

Obama the Fascist?

2008-10-29T20:23:00.002-05:00

So a couple weeks ago Biden told an audience in the economically distressed battleground state of Ohio that the Democratic presidential candidate's public works projects would create 2 million jobs nationwide, including 76,000 new jobs for the middle class in Ohio.

Take a look at the Weimar Republic in pre-Nazi Germany, then peruse through fascist Italy, then to the fascist ideas used in the U.S. under FDR and his New Deal. As John T. Rourke explains, fascism is an "authoritarian political philosophy" that "reject[s] individual rights in favor of a 'corporatist' view that view people are 'workers' in the state" and "demand[s] that economic activity support the corporatist state."

Authoritarian political philosophy- check.

Government obtains control- 401k, welfare state, redistribution of wealth, etc.

Rejecting individual rights if favor of a corporatist view that people are workers in the state- check.

Michelle told us all that "Barack Obama will require you to work.” He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation…Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”

Funny, all of our rights would be lost if we go along with that theory.

Demanding economic activity support the corporatist state- check.

The first thing I mentioned spoke of public works projects to provide work for 2 million people, much like FDR did. Is that not economic activity that supports the corporatist state?

Look at Mussolini's Italy or Hitler's Germany, then look at how much FDR adored their states and how much they revered FDR for his success with fascism in the U.S. Then look at what Obama is proposing with his redistributing wealth and public works projects.... and tell me how it is NOT marxist socialism and fascism?

Although I have not fully developed this idea, I think my point is still established. If time permits I will try to examine this issue further.

Obama...not for US!

2008-10-29T19:25:00.002-05:00

1) Thirteen campaign workers for Barack Obama yesterday yanked their voter registrations and ballots in Ohio after being warned by a prosecutor that temporary residents can't vote in the battleground state.

Wow... they're such honest people!

2) While in law school, Obama told The Associated Press: “I’m not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me.”

I wonder why that might be? I guess he doesn't really have everyone's best interest at heart now does he?

3) Obama and the Annenberg Challenge.

In 2001, when Obama was a part-time director of The Woods Fund of Chicago, it gave $75,000 to ACORN, the voter registration group now under investigation for voter fraud in 12 states.

The Woods Fund also gave $6,000 to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, which Obama attended. The reason for the donation to the church is unclear -- it is simply listed as "for special purposes" in the group's IRS tax form.

It gave a further $60,000 to the Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern University, which was founded and run by Bernardine Dohrn, the wife of domestic terrorist William Ayers and, with her husband, a former member of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground.

Other controversial donations that year included $50,000 to the Small Schools Network -- which was founded by Ayers and run by Michael Klonsky, a friend of Ayers' and the former chairman of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist), an offshoot of the 1960s radical group Students for a Democratic Society -- and $40,000 to the Arab American Action Network, which critics have accused of being anti-Semitic.

When Obama co-chaired the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which calls itself "a public-private partnership improving education for 1.5 million urban and rural public school students," it gave to some of the same groups -- partnering with ACORN to manage funding for schools and giving over $1 million to the Small Schools Network.

According to Biden, however, Obama has NO association with ACORN. Maybe not like he used to, but clearly there are ties there. After all, Obama sued Citibank under the Community Reinvestment Act to force them to make the subprime loans that got us into all this mess. This goes all the way back to 1994. No ties to ACORN, eh?

4) The Obama campaign is accepting untraceable donations. These come from prepaid credit cards. This way we have NO way of knowing where all this money is coming from. That sort of sounds like how in Ohio they are allowing people to list park benches as their residence in order to vote. The question isn't if fraud is occurring, but more importantly, HOW MUCH fraud is actually occuring under these extremely big veils?

5) Cambell Brown actually called out Obama the other day for breaking his promise on campaign finance. Funny how very few other media outlets mentioned this relatively important fact about the pathetic campaign Obama is running.

You can see her calling him out here.

Just a few of the many awful problems concerning Obama.

Obama Reinstituting the Welfare State!

2008-10-16T13:55:00.002-05:00

So in case you missed it, Obama has devised his new tax rebate plan which is essentially welfare. How did I get there? Here goes. Obama keeps claiming that 95% of Americans will get a tax rebate under his plan (although experts say it is roughly about 81%, not the 95 Obama keeps touting). What about the 45+ million taxpayers who paid nothing in 2006 after credits and deductions? This is roughly 1/3 of all taxpayers. According to how the plan is laid out, these people will be included in this rebate. Following this along, roughly 36 million of these "non" taxpayers would get money... not money back but get "free" money.

He proposes to give $500 per worker or $1000 for working couples. Let's split that down the middle and go with $750 for our estimation. 36 million x $750= 270,000,000,000 or $270 billion for people who are really paying nothing into the system. They get all of their tax money back plus $500 or $1000... $270 billion in welfare every year. Where are we getting this money from? Unbelievable!

This ultimately means that 43% of wage earners will pay NO taxes. The top 1% of wage earners pay 39% of all taxes. I guess that wasn't enough. This is what Friedman and Marx meant when they talked about redistributing the wealth. Michelle Obama informed us that "someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more." Or when he told Joe the plumber that "when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody." This people, is Marxist ideology. It is what we now call socialism.

We already have income redistribution in the U.S. by which the people making the most money pay more taxes percentage-wise than those making less money. This money is then used to fund welfare programs to assist others.

Obama is radicalizing the nation one step at a time. Wake up and see what he is doing. It will hurt ALL of us.

Obama's Health Care Plan

2008-10-16T12:43:00.003-05:00

Okay, let's get down to it. Obama has been touting his health care plan for a while now. The gist of it is:

"to expand government provided health care and create a form of “managed competition” originally developed by Alain Einthoven. Obama supports expanding SCHIP and Medicaid eligibility. Although Obama does not support a health insurance mandate for adults, he does support a mandate for children and young adults (any one 25 or under). Obama’s goal to increase health care access, he would support a “pay-or-play” mandate. All but the smallest employers would be required to provide health insurance; those who didn’t would be compelled to pay into a national fund covering these uninsured workers. The mandate would likely require a minimum benefits package. Overall, Obama is pushing towards more government provided health care and more regulation" (1).

What does this mean? Government will take the reins of health care. If you are 25 you MUST have health care or else you will be fined, which by the way, is completely unconstitutional. When did we lose our constitutional right to be left alone- as long as we are not causing harm to ourselves or others?

All medium-large businesses would be REQUIRED to provide health insurance OR pay into a fund to cover uninsured workers. Either way, these businesses will have to now divest profits into health care. One wonders then, what will happen to workers? If companies HAVE to spend more money on health care, less money MUST be spent elsewhere. This leaves 2 legitimate choices for companies: cut worker pay OR fire employees in order to compensate for the increased expenditure. Unemployment then goes up, leaving these newly unemployed people without insurance, right? So tell me how is this a good thing?

Also, quality control would be a big part of his plan. He wants to make sure we all receive quality health care. The government and health care companies would have to hire people to ensure everything is going well. Who pays for them? That's right, we do. Also, government is getting bigger- more employees will be needed for this.... ah the expansion of government bureaucracy!

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I don't want government spending my money. They are easily the worst spenders in our nation, and I don't want them to control more things than is truly necessary... and health care is definitely not necessary.

It's been awhile...

2007-10-27T20:49:00.000-05:00

So my dear friends, it's been quite awhile since I've posted so here goes. A few things that are worth a brief mention and included in my Top 10:

1) Be careful speeders, cops are now giving out radar guns to citizens to catch you speeding, they then turn over the results to the cops and the cops send you a warning letter...it's here in Illinois too- Naperville to be more specific

2) Global warming apparently causes wildfires, at least according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). “One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” he told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats’ comprehensive energy package." Are you kidding me? What a joke!

3) Mayor Daley wants cameras installed on street cleaners to crack down on the whole parking ticket issue. I'm sure that's all they want the cameras for. The city of Philadelphia is getting 250 new cameras at a cost of $10 million. All the major cities are getting more and more cameras. Big brother anyone?

4) California Representative Pete Stark over a week ago came out in disgust with President Bush saying "You don't have money to fund the war or children," accusing Republicans. "But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement." I'm not a fan of Bush, but I don't think anyone gets off on our soldiers getting killed. Believe it or not, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually rebuked Stark. Holy cow. I'm surprised, but hey, I guess some things are off limits for even the liberals.

5) Photos of troops overseas are gone from Paso post office, inspiring outrage. That's right, one person complained that these pictures were pro-war and the post office took them down. Come on people, we HAVE to support our troops! They're out there for us.

6) The amount of sexual misconduct in public schools across the nation is absolutely horrific and unacceptable. What are we to do with our children if we can't safely send them to school? School is supposed to be a sanctuary for students, not a place of abuse. How disgusting a place this world has turned into. As a side note, what on earth are we thinking contemplating giving birth control pills to middle school children? They're not even legally allowed to have sex, so why should schools be providing birth control to them? And to add insult to injury, parental notification would not be necessary! I'm so disgusted.

7) Naked chocolate Jesus is up again in New York. "A life-size chocolate sculpture of a naked Jesus will finally be displayed in New York starting in late October." It was originally taken down seven months ago in protest, but has now been given the green light. It's anatomically correct and is shown for all to see, but this time it not in public view. It has now been put in an art gallery. Still, how disgusting a person Cosimo Cavallaro must be to do this.

8) "Bush's job approval rating fell to 24 percent from last month's record low for a Zogby poll of 29 percent. A paltry 11 percent gave Congress a positive grade, tying last month's record low." Haha. So it's NOT just Bush. Congress has an even lower approval rating. They're all awful. They're all a bunch of crooks.

9) "In the Zenger Room, named for German immigrant John Peter Zenger, who helped establish free speech law, Californians for Population Stabilization released a study claiming there are 20 million to 38 million illegal immigrants in America, not the 12 million the federal government says." Is anyone really surprised by this information? I know I'm not. We're always lied to, so what's new?

10) "US Budget Deficit Falls to $162.8 Billion in 2007, Lowest Level in 5 Years". Okay, so we know Bush is an idiot, but at least he knows economics. We have to give him that. With all of this warring, we are still decreasing our budget deficit.

More of regular blogging soon to come. Hope you all enjoy!

Oak Lawn Travesty

2007-10-02T23:56:00.000-05:00

So it's recently been brought to my attention that the school district in Oak Lawn has done away with celebrating holidays at school. I find this perplexing if not disturbing. While it is true that schools have an "all or nothing" policy meaning that they have to represent all faiths or none at all, there is more to this story than meets the eye. Here is some food for thought:

You can view the U.S. in two different paradigms:

1) Muslims consider the U.S. a horribly flawed Christian nation. Notice I said they think we are a Christian nation. If this is the case, then there should be no issue with religion because Christianity is the religion of the U.S.

2) The more likely rationale- We are a constitutional republic, following, in part, democratic themes. We are NOT theocratic and therefore freely accept all religions. That does not mean, however, that we cave in to any and all religious threats…at least we shouldn’t. Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and we have made laws and regulations accordingly.

Let’s play out paradigm #2 here. Our laws are based on our general Judeo-Christian beliefs. If our roots came from Islam, perhaps polygamy would be commonplace. Perhaps women might be forced to wear the hijab? Wait a tick… we DON’T force religious ideals on people. We have something called freedom. Freedom to choose the religion we want to follow, freedom to say what we want (within reason), freedom to dress how we want, etc. Anyone ever wonder what Muslim schools in the U.S. teach? Well the Washington Post informs us that:

“Islamic schools in Virginia, for example, have maps of the Middle East in their classrooms that are missing Israel. On one map, Israel was blackened out and replaced with "Palestine." An 11th grade textbook teaches that one sign of the Day of Judgment will be that Muslims will fight and kill Jews, who will hide behind trees that say, "Oh Muslim, Oh servant of God, here is a Jew hiding behind me. Come here and kill him”.

It’s not just the Jews they’re after, but keep in mind, their “Students are taught, for example that the Day of Judgment won't come until Jesus Christ returns to Earth, breaks the cross, and converts everyone to Islam. The private schools are legally allowed to teach whatever they want as long as they meet state requirements.”

Granted these are private schools and have different rules governing them. Still, HOW can they get away with this? How many more laws must be modified until our own laws (that are already being used against us) push us out of our country?

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Elizabeth Zahdan, the initial protester to school functions claims that "I only wanted them modified to represent everyone.” What we must understand is quite simple. It is two-fold, but not complicated in the least. First, the parties in the classroom are an American tradition, NOT religious holiday celebrations. Second, Halloween is NOT a religious holiday at all. If anything, Halloween is an anti-religious holiday. I personally disagree with Halloween and all it stands for, but I recall sitting through many years of Halloween parties and never once felt uncomfortable or unfairly treated. I dealt with it because it’s what American schools do. Our Christmas parties, do they represent one denomination of Christianity specifically? Of course not. Our concept of Christmas is so skewed, and our schools definitely do not teach about Christmas. Should we get rid of our Thanksgiving parties too? Maybe they promote too much Christianity for others to swallow? GET REAL!

In fact, I find it religiously offensive with the new names given to the parties- “fall festival” and “winter festival”. Those are too closely related to pagan holidays and we shouldn’t spread our religious views now should we?

I BET YOU DIDN’T READ THIS:

Last month, school administrators agreed to change the lunch menu to exclude items containing pork in order to accommodate Muslim students. Why do Muslim students get special treatment? When I fast for 48 days for Easter, I am not to consume meat or dairy. Shouldn’t the school refrain from serving any foods with meat or dairy while I’m fasting? I mean, come on, it’s only fair.

Another thought, too, while I’m at it. Muslim students are given time during lunch to say their prayers. Funny, I don’t remember getting that time to say my prayers.

So, what should you do? Pass this along to as many people as you can. Maybe, just maybe, someone within the Ridgeland School District can read this and use it as information to give to an administrator or someone else in authority.

A Child Molester With a Billion Supporters!

2007-09-27T15:52:00.000-05:00

You might be surprised to read this, but then again it might not at all. This man was approximately 52 at the time and married a young girl- aged 6 or 7. The marriage was consummated a few years later when the girl was 9. Who could do this disgusting deed? Who could possibly get away with this?

Actually, the perpetrator is none other than Muhammad and his marriage to Aisha. A horrific deed, yet everyone seems to turn a blind eye. This coming from the peaceful prophet who also proclaimed "I am the prophet that laughs when killing my enemies." Wow. Someone please tell me- HOW IS THIS PEACEFUL?

I don't understand how people can defend this terrible action. Considering Muhammed is the ONLY messenger for Islam, I can only see Islam as a misguided religion, founded by a perverted man. If we take the Islamic approach that Islam is a continuation of the prophets' faith and that Judaism and Christianity have distorted the truth, then this is just as troubling. The "restorer" of the faith is a corrupt, unethical, morally disgusting human being. Definitely not the leader of my faith.

As a side note, since Islam believes the faith was "restored" by Muhammed I must ask a question. Over 500 years passed, hundreds of enlightened spiritual leaders later, and hundreds of thousands of followers were misguided, my dear Muhammed, but it was YOU who was individually, singularly, and independently able to bring the truth back to us? And to think, I was basing my faith off of thousands of eyewitness testimonies, written documentation, and miracles that have been corroborated throughout the centuries.

Little Muslim Girl Full of Hate

2007-09-27T15:37:00.000-05:00

So, it didn't occur to me how strongly Muslims feel about those outside of Islam. I think this video is a strong representation of how they feel. This girl is 3 1/2 years old and already she has contempt for non-Muslims. She is clearly being coached by the interviewer, but she clearly is learning all of these "truths" already.

Part of the interview:

Basmallah, do you know the Jews?

Yes.

Do you like them?

No.

Why don’t you like them?

Because…They are apes and pigs.

Because they are apes and pigs? Who said that about them?

Our god.

Where did he say that about them?

The Koran?

He said this about them in the Koran. That’s correct. Basmallah. What do the Jews do?

What?

What do the Jews do?

The Pepsi company.

The interviewer goes on to applaud Basmallah and say that all true Muslims should learn the way Basmallah has. Let me again ask, is this a religion of peace?

The story about Muhammed is interesting too. Read my next blog for more info about Muhammed.

DREAM Act. aka Stop Illegal Immigration

2007-09-26T21:00:00.000-05:00

In case you haven't heard about the DREAM Act, you might be in for a shock. Standing for Development, Relief, and Education of Alien Minors. The DREAM Act is basically this, taken from Wikipedia "The DREAM Act would provide a path to legality for persons brought illegally to the United States by their parents or guardians as children, or whose parents attempted to immigrate legally but were then denied legality after several years in application, and whose children thus derived their legal status solely from their parents (the child also becoming illegal upon the parent's denial)."

Okay. So if an adult comes here illegally and brings their children with them, the children should be allowed to become legal. Not only that, even if the parents end up being denied legal immigration status, their children would be given legal immigration status. What? Are you joking? Instead of closing the borders, dealing with the immigration situation we already have, Washington's suggestion is to give incentives to those who want to come here illegally.

Maybe Washington has forgotten what Mexico's stand on illegal immigration is? Or maybe Washington knows how foreigners are going to be treated? Examining the Mexican constitution is vital here. What can we learn from the Mexican constitution? Here goes:

"Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country" (Article 33). Okay, so why should Mexicans be given that right here in the U.S.A.?
Article 32 notes that unless you are Mexican born you CANNOT EVER join the Armed Forces of Mexico. Guess they don't trust us, eh?
Article 59 tells us that unless you are Mexican born, you CANNOT EVER become a senator, Article 115 for governorship, Article 130 to become a government minister, and Article 95 to become a justice on the Supreme Court. Wow, and everyone gives the U.S. a bad rap and that we're paranoid about something bad happening to our country from foreigners. They won't let anyone into any political office unless they are born in Mexico. I think that we're more than fair in that aspect.
Article 27 goes through a long and drawn out method by which foreigners can obtain land in Mexico. It is pretty difficult, but basically you have to jump through a fiery hoop backwards with a blind fold on and your arms and legs tied together. Okay, it's not that difficult, but for all intents and purposes, it is.

If Mexico doesn't want foreigners in the country, why are we bending over backwards to help them out? Don't get me wrong, immigration is a part of the American way of life. Let me rephrase this, LEGAL immigration is a part of the American way of life. It's how my grandparents got here. That leads me to another point. Real quick because I'm digressing. When they came here, they were stubborn and didn't want to learn English. They soon found out that if they wanted to communicate with others they would have to learn. People didn't go to school to learn Greek so they could communicate with my grandparents and their Greek brethren, and so we shouldn't be doing it now for Hispanics.

To get back on track though, there is another problem here. One would ask, how many illegals does this pertain to in a given year. Estimates show that we would be granting "conditional residency" to 65,000+ illegal children every year. This includes giving them social security numbers... which would pretty much make them permanent legal residents. Maybe we should pay for their schooling when they go to college too? Oh wait, WE WOULD!

The second part of the DREAM Act would allow them to stay in the U.S. if they:

(1) graduate from a two-year community college, (2) complete at least two years towards a 4-year degree, or (3) serve two years in the U.S. military. After the six year period, an immigrant who meets at least one of these three conditions would be eligible to apply for legal permanent resident (green card) status.

This is ridiculous people. How much longer are we going to stand by and watch as Washington tries to rename a "new" bill allowing amnesty for illegals. They can call it Free Money to All, or Spread Love bill and it still doesn't change the fact that it will hurt America.

Even Dick Durbin with his rhetorical eloquence can't get this passed. He gave two options when speaking about the DREAM Act: 1) we can give these teens a bright future here in the U.S. or we can 2) send them back to the barbaric lands from which they came. As Glenn Beck mentioned last night, there might just be a third option. Send them back to the countries from which they came.

No amnesty for illegals! Stop trying to make that happen Washington.

As a college student at a private university, I have to pay a lot of money to attend. This is even after my scholarship money. These illegal immigrant students, however, no matter where they attended school would only have to pay in-school tuition. That's fair to the people who are natural-born citizens? Don't let Washington get away with it!

Foreign Response to Ahmadinejad's American Trip

2007-09-26T19:53:00.000-05:00

As predicted by many people, Ahmadinejad coming to the U.S. makes him look even better. Just what we needed. "By fearlessly and courageously walking into the 'Lion's Den' ... he is sure to become even more of a hero in the Arab-Muslim street than before," the daily Iran News wrote. Unreal if you ask me.

Almost equally appalling is the fact that many prominent media showed up to a dinner hosted by Ahmadinejad. How he gets away with being called "His Eminence", I'm not sure, but I don't like it and I won't ever call him that. Also, "he requests that we not ask questions, but make statements, so that he can react to them in a form of dialogue". So, don't ask him questions? Right, that way he won't have to avoid them and give us the run-around. Maybe we can heat up some tea and give him a massage while we're at it.

Later on, "He [responds] first with a half-hour ode to the relationship between man and God". Why must he bring Allah into everything he does? Anyone see a recurring theme here? He is a threat to us and we are doing NOTHING about it.

Some of the points he makes:

1) "The US and Iran can play a positive role together in Iraq. "If the US withdraws from Iraq, good things will happen," he says. "I believe that the Iraqi people can rule themselves." So, he's saying that we should stop helping the innocent civilians that were suffering horrifically under Saddam Hussein? Granted he is now dead, the instability in Iraq needs to be fixed first, then we will go. Also, how is his suggestion indicative of working together... it seems as if he wants us to leave and he can do what he wants. Just a thought.

2) "In answer to a question about how he viewed Hitler's legacy, he says, "I view Hitler's role as extremely negative, a despicably dark face." This is not surprising in the least. Of course he considers Hitler in such a negative connotation. Hitler hated religion, Ahmadinejad wants to convert everyone to Islam. Ahmadinejad is delusional and believes that trying to forcefully convert everyone to Islam would glorify not only Allah, but himself along with it.

3) "He notes that Americans don't understand Iranian history, saying that the movie 300 — with which he seems intimately familiar — was a "complete distortion of Iranian history." Iran, he says, has never invaded anyone in its history". Wow. Does this man create his own history? There is something you might have heard of called the Persian Empire. At the heart of the Persian Empire sits the present day country called IRAN. So, we can take this comment one of three ways. 1) He is differentiating between Persia and Iran, 2) He is differentiating between Iran (1935) and the Islamic Republic of Iran (1979), or 3) He is a big-fat liar. If he is being petty enough to split hairs (points 1 & 2), then he is just immature. If it is 3, which it is, he has spewed out ANOTHER perverted lie. He thinks the brave Spartans couldn't have stopped the domineering Persian forces? Oh, of course not, because that would make the Muslim ancestors look week. Or perhaps it is his delusional sense of nationalism that makes him want to believe these events never happened? Ridiculous!

Why haven't we done anything about this?

Ahmadinejad to the Iranian People.

2007-09-26T17:00:00.000-05:00

So here is a clip of Iranian President Ahmadinejad in Tehran in an address to them. After watching the clip, you can look at my remarks. These remarks are in response to the biggest criticisms and contradictions I found. Simply disgusting this guy is. Also, as a general note, I have many issues with the Islamic faith. This does not mean I have issues with Muslims themselves. My problem lies with fanatical Islamists and any and all attacks on my friends, families, or anyone else threatened by them. Having said that, here is my analysis.

1) “I am not anti-Jewish at all”. Really? I guess wanting to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth is true love?

2) “All the world’s monotheistic religions take pride in our prophet.” As an Orthodox Christian, I don’t believe in your prophet at all. I don’t think he was a prophet. I don’t think he was enlightened. I don’t think your faith has any base to it.

3) “They [Israeli Jews] are not Jews, but a bunch of corrupt criminals who abuse the name of Judaism. They are lying. The leaders of arrogance (America) are lying too.” But you cannot lie because you are Muslim. You wouldn’t have any motivation to ever lie would you? Please explain how the Jews are corrupt criminals. You speak of their evil deeds, but your words rot fast.

4) “You purport to be Christian”. While I agree that many of our leaders claim to be Christian, but our government is not theocratic. We are a republic and base our government off of a constitution. There is a separation of church and state, something you cannot comprehend. Your visit to Columbia showed this. You spoke about Allah and his wishes and plans, etc. for the first 1/3 of your speech. We are not predominately Muslim in the U.S. and we are not theocratic, so your speech wasted both time and effort.

5) “In what way are your measures consistent with the teachings of Jesus? Would he have people killed? Would he have perpetrated crimes in order to fill his pockets and the pockets of his party members?...You are lying when you claim to be Christian. …In what way do you resemble Jesus”? Again my misguided friend, our nation provides for self-determination of religion. We do not force Christianity on our people and therefore, we don’t have to measure up to Jesus’ standards. On a personal level, any given Christian should follow Jesus’ teachings. Unfortunately, you again assume us to be a theocratic state. If Ahmadinejad has proof of American and not Christian crimes, he should present his information. Otherwise, learn the difference between a Judeo-Christian based secular state and a single-minded theocratic state.

6) “My dears, all the oppression and misery originate in their religion.” Interesting you bring this up. What oppression do we face that you do not? While equality is a struggle in any nation, the American people can assure you they would enjoy our freedoms over yours any day. It is the Iranian nation that finds inferior, both women and homosexuals. That is oppression, not equality. What misery can he find in our nation that is not found everywhere? If he is trying to pick on Christianity and awful things our forefathers have done, he should be careful to build all houses free of glass. The Islamic empires have been the most ruthless religious murderers. For nearly 360 years, the Ottoman empire enslaved the Greeks. The religion that is known for “its strong stand on racial equality and its freedom from a history of racism and colonialism” sure has a lot to explain. For example, the former word for “black” (meaning a black person, not the color) was “slave”. Not racist? Seems to me they thought pretty highly of themselves. For more information about the lack of peaceful harmony in Islam, check out my blog called “The Peace-less Religion aka Islam”. The point at hand, however, is that the Islamic religion is FAR from being peaceful. It is one of the most, if not the most, oppressive religion known to mankind.

7) “The life-curve of these superpowers is on the decline. As we can see, they are on the path to rapid collapse”. Perhaps we are on the decline. Unfortunately, your primary thesis lacks validity. Every great power eventually goes on the decline. America may very well be on the decline, but it has little to do with anything you are proposing. I can’t see this rapid collapse, can you show me please? Can you show your own people?

8) “We don’t use religion to scare our people”. Oh, that’s right. It wasn’t the Muslims that forced Islam on the people it conquered. It wasn’t them that forced their new “servants” to convert to Islam or become second-class citizens and lose all basic human rights. Oh wait, yes it was! Without the threat of religion and the earthly rewards that would be granted to those who converted, what would they have used? People became Muslim in order to retain the right to live. Many others, however, became martyrs for their faith and refused to give in to this farce of a religion. So don’t even try saying you or your Islamic brethren don’t use religion to scare people. You are again shown as a liar.

9) Addressing the issue of America being deadlocked across the world, my response is as follows: Perhaps, we are in a complete deadlock in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and Lebanon because we don’t want to just nuke them. Perhaps we’re being too nice and trying for a peaceful ending? Just because we’re in a deadlock doesn’t mean that we are unsuccessful. Nice try.

10) “They are subject to curses and insults from their own peoples as well. You are not accepted even by your own people, let alone by the peoples of the world”. He is of course talking about the U.S. leaders here. Yes, Mr. Ahmadinejad, our leaders are cursed and insulted. It is something we call free speech. Oh wait, let me start from the beginning. In the U.S.A., we have something called rights. It means people are allowed to do things without fear of repercussions. This is nothing new since the beginning of time. We then came up with our Bill of Rights by which we are able to speak freely without fear of someone coming to kill us. While we many not always be in favor of our leaders, we will gladly choose them over you and your regime any day. They are accepted by our people on at least an amicable level.

This man CANNOT be allowed into the U.S. anymore. He is far too dangerous and people need to start waking up to this.

Believe Ahmadinejad!

So if any of you were able to see Iranian tyrant/president Ahmadinejad at Columbia University in New York City on Monday, I hope you are a bit frightened. This guy is for real and we seem to be doing nothing about it. Do you really know anything about this guy? It's pretty scary if you take a look at his past, and the rising Islamic fanaticism of which he subscribes. We allow a known terrorist access to the United States, allow him to speak at a private university (that still receives millions of dollars in public assistance), and even have the audacity to applaud him?

Perhaps these students and school President Bollinger would like to welcome Osama bin Laden. The scary part about this is that if one takes a look at bin Laden's past, evidence shows he was not fanatical Islam...yet. Former GID Chief of Staff Ahmed Badeeb claims "he was not an extremist at all, and I liked him because he was a decent and polite person. In school and academically he was in the middle". Ahmadinejad, however, is much more educated. He earned a Ph.D. from the Science and Technology University. He won the populist vote in the 2005 Iranian presidential elections because he appealed to the poor- the masses- similar to oh, say, Adolf Hitler. Hitler despised religion, Ahmadinejad flaunts radical Islam and tries to shove it down every one's throats. Getting back to the point, however, would we allow Osama bin Laden to speak at Columbia University? Of course we shouldn't. Anyone care that Ahmadinejad is supplying the Iraqi insurgents with weaponry that is being used to kill American soldiers? It is an outrage that he was allowed to come to the U.S. and speak. It is even more deplorable that there were students applauding him. Shame on you, naive students! Have you no shame...or is it common sense you lack?

Ahmadinejad asks, "Why is it that those who ask questions are persecuted"? This was in reference to the Holocaust, and I find particularly interesting. There is a huge difference between asking questions about historical events and trying to rewrite history with no collaborating evidence. When you claim history is incorrect, prove it or back off. He wants to know "Why is there...such sensitivity on this subject"? Perhaps it's because you're trying to discredit the millions of Jews that suffered and died from the horrific events that were perpetrated? Not only that, you're questioning the accounts of the survivors who have clear proof of the awful experiences they were forced to go through. How disgusting a human you are! Ah, shame on me though. You are Muslim so it's not right, because you claim "I am Muslim and cannot lie". Oh, how naive of the rest of humanity is. I forgot that Muslims are the only people alive that are incapable of lying. I wonder if it is genetic or a divine revelation from Allah that you are given this gift. We must add, too, how homosexuality is impossible through the Islamic faith. "In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals like in your country. We don’t have that in our country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I do not know who has told you that we have it." Oh how wonderful the Islamic faith must be. If only that were the case. Unfortunately, homosexuals and some women are still stoned to death for going against Islamic beliefs. Too bad the underground homosexual movement is alive, and to a degree, flourishing. While they don't have any rights and fear for their lives all the time, they refuse to be muted. While I don't agree with homosexuality, I will never understand how hate, and hate crimes against homosexuals could be seen as acceptable...especially for the "religion of peace". Watch this if you're interested about the underground movement that Ahmadinejad claims is non-existent.

Anyone else catch how Ahmadinejad opened up his speech at Columbia? He praised Allah as usual, but he added something that most people missed (at least they missed the importance of it). He mentions the Mahdi and how he hopes for the speedy coming of him. His precise words were: "Oh God, hasten the arrival of Imam al-Mahdi and grant him good health, and victory, and make us his followers and those who attest to his (rightfulness?)". The Mahdi, in case you don't know, is the Islamic "messiah". He is supposed to come down to earth and dole out justice and create peace. So, let me ask a question. Ahmadinejad is asking to speed up the arrival of the Mahdi, but why? Is there need to dole out mass amounts of justice? Is our world so bad that we need this Mahdi now? Well let's think about this point. In combination with Ahmadinejad's wish for the Mahdi to "save" the world, we must realize his ambitions. First, he is a radical Islamist who adamantly believes that "Allah's enemies...should be converted or destroyed". Second, he already has an immense amount of technology and weaponry at his disposal. Third, he hates the Jews and the west and our "infidel" ways. Fourth, he is a narcissistic lunatic and a religious fanatic who twists everything to fit his viewpoint. He always presents himself as being persecuted...in a way that almost begs for sympathy. If you add all these up, it is clear to see that he not only wants to wipe us all out, but that he has motivation to create the atmosphere for it. If he causes massive amounts of destruction world-wide (in Allah's name of course), he will be the one credited with bringing the Mahdi to save the Muslim faithful.
America, he is coming for us. He hates us. He even proclaimed: "Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? But you should know that this slogan and this goal are achievable, and certainly can be achieved," in front of a huge crowd in Tehran. The crowd responded with the popular Islamic chant, "Death to America!" Anyone getting scared yet?

Click here to listen to his address to the Iranian people about how awful America is. Funny, does he have any documentation or facts to back up his claims? I thought not. This was in May of this year. Go to my "Ahmadinejad to the Iranian People" blog for a more in-depth analysis of this video.

I recommend to those who are unfamiliar with Ahmadinejad to read Epicenter by Joel Rosenberg. It is simply amazing what is going on the world today and how little we know.

More to come when time allows. Please start reading and learning about this awful man, what he has done to people in his own country, and what his plans are for the future. May God help us all.

More to come on this as time allows.
