Obama says he supports securing our national borders, not only with fences but with more border guards, radar, and other means. He believes that if immigrants are in our country illegally they should not be allowed to work, and he supports holding employers accountable for hiring illegal immigrants.
Workers building border fence
Mexicans coming into America illegally
( Am I missing something here, or did Obama mean something else when he said illegals should be allowed to remain in the U. S. but not be allowed to work? How do you interpret this? it sure has me puzzled)
Migrant Farm Workers
Oh by the way, in case you haven't heard Obama voted No on a bill making English the official language of the United States, how did you feel about that? )
Obama Says: "There is a public safety concern with denying driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. When I was a state senator in Illinois, I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention. The problem we have here is not driver's licenses. Undocumented workers do not come here to drive. they come here to work."( So I think we can safely assume that Sen. Obama favors illegal immigrants being able to obtain a driver's license, doesn't it sound that way to you?)
Critics have warned that giving illegal immigrants licenses would be a security nightmare, allowing terrorists to travel on planes, rent trucks and vans, and move about the country with ease, and without detection or scrutiny.
In the aftermath of 9/11, authorities reported that the 19 terrorists involved in the attacks had obtained 13 driver's licenses, plus 21 federal or state-issued ID cards. The Wall Street Journal reported that eight of the 9/11 terrorists were registered to vote.( I find this frightening, don't you agree?
Senator Obama is on the record of being in favor of "civil unions" for homosexuals but says he is against " same sex marriage." He has a long and established record of promoting homosexuality.
Just this past June he told a homosexual activist group he opposes the "divisive and discriminatory efforts" to install in the California constitution a definition of marriage limiting that status to one man and one woman.( Doesn't sound like to me he opposes same sex marriage, does it to you?)
His wife, Michelle, told the Democratic National Commmittee's "Gay" and Lesbian Leadership Council, "Barack has made crystal clear his commitment to ensuring full equality for LGBT (lesbians, gay,bi-sexual, transexual couples,) That's why he opposes all divisive and discriminatory constitutuional amendments, whether it's a proposed amendment to the California and Florida constitutions or the U.S. Constitution." (Who would know better than his wife where Obama stands on this controversial issue?)
During a Democratic presidential debate at Dartmouth last year, former Sen. John Edwards, responding to a question, said he would want children exposed to positive portrayals of homosexuality in the second grade.."You know, I feel very similar to John," Obama said. "The fact is my nine-year-old and my six year olds, I think are already aware that there are same-sex couples. And my wife and I have already talked about it."
Gay Adoptive Parents
Sen. Obama opposes a ban on adoptions based solely on sexual orientation, according to his response to a questionnaire from the Human Rights Campaign. He said in a letter to the Family Equality Council "we have to extend equal treatment in our family and adoption laws" to LGBT families".
A reporter for the ABC affiliate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, noticed Obama wasn't wearing an American Flag that has been worn by politicians since Sept 12, 2001. He asked him why he wasn't wearing his American Flag pin. The Illinois senator answered the question at length, explaining that he no longer wears such a pin, at least in part, because of the Iraq War. "You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin," But later I came to think of it as a substitute for what I think is true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest. ( That answer may satisfy some of you but it sure doesn't satisfy me
There is a picture that has been widely circulated on the internet that shows Obama and some other notables, including Hillary Clinton, standing facing the flag while the National Anthem was being played. They all had their hand over their heart except Sen. Obama. who just stood there with his hands at his side. When asked about this he replied :
"As I said about the flag pin, I don*t want to be perceived as taking sides. There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.
He doesn't want to take sides??? Here is a man who aspires to be the next president of the United States, and he doesn't want to take sides??? My God, how are we Americans supposed to feel about that kind of remark?
Francis Scott Key
Our National Anthem was written when we were fighting for our independence from England.
The composer of the song, Francis Scott Key, stood on the deck of a warship looking out at the devestation caused by the war. And through the mist of the dawn's early light he saw the American Flag waving proudly in the distance, and the sight of that flag inspired him to write the song that became our National Anthem.
This is the original flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the song that became our Nation Anthem, later to be named "The Star Spangled Banner". It is displayed in the Smithsonian Institute. An opaque curtain covers it to prptect it but the curtain is removed for several minutes every hour so that the public can view this national treasure. I still get a lump in my throat whenever I hear this song played or sung, and I think most Americans do. And any man running for the office of President ot these United States should most definitely feel that way. If he doesn't then the way I see it he isn't fit to occupy the White House.
Obama Removes American Flag From Campaign Plane
On July 20, before Sen. Barack Obama took off on a week-long overseas tour that included stops in the Middle East and Europe, his campaign unveiled a newly designed Boeing 757 plane that the Illinois senator, members of his campaign staff, secret service and members of the press corps will use for the remainder of his campaign. The plane features first class, business and coach seating, with new carpet and leather chairs and a brand new paint job of the exterior. The plane in question was one he chartered from North American Airlines in late March. The design of that plane had featured two images of the American flag: a small wavy flag that was displayed on the side of the aircraft and a much larger image of the flag that appeared on the plane's tail.
However, neither image is a part of the Obama campaign's new plane design. Obama's freshly painted plane features his campaign slogan, "Change We Can Believe In," and his Web site name on the side, and the campaign's sunrise "O" symbol on the tail, instead of the American flag. However, an image of the flag does appear on one side of the plane with its tail number.
I'm sorry if it sounds to some of you like I'm making a "big deal " about nothing, but to me this is a BIG DEAL. It's obvious that once again he didn't want to be seen as "taking sides". Makes me wonder if he will want to be seen as "not taking sides" if he is elected President of the United States?? I guess this doesn't concern the Obama supporters at all but it sure does concerns me.
Now for those of you who are still with me I'm going to close out my web site using some of Obama's own words from a couple of books he has authored. If you didn't believe any of my words you won't have any choice but to believe his own. If his words prove one thing it is that he has mixed emotions about America and the white race, and such a man as this should not be elected to run (or ruin) our country for the next four or eight years. Even if Obama is a loyal American and a Christian it would still frighten me to think of him as President of the United States of America. The reason being that as president can't you just imagine the pressure he would be under from those who consider him "one of their own?" The muslims would surely look to him to help them in their declared goal to take over America, they have stated they will be able to do this from within, not by declaring open war on us. To their way of thinking what better way could there be to achieve their goal than to have a man in the White House whom they perceive, whether rightly or wrongly, as one their own?
Most African-Americans also think of Obama as "one of them" and they too would expect him to prove that he is. I have no idea what they would expect him to do but I'm confident he would be expected to show his loyalty to African- Americans that would most likely consist of passing more and stronger civil rights legislation. (I could be wrong but it seems to me America doesn't need any more of that type of civil rights legislation passed. at least not anytime soon.)
To bring my website to its conclusion I will close by including some excerpts from a couple of books Sen. Obama has authored. Do these words sound like the words of a man who harbors no anger or resentment towards the white race? (Not to me they don't)
From Dreams From My Father:
I ceased to advertise my mother*s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.
I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother*s race.
From Dreams From My Father:
There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe--- And White!
It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.
I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn*t speak to my own. It was into my father*s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.
Knowing Sen. Obama had these feelings about the white race concerns me, but the one that REALLY worries me are these words from his book "The Audacity Of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
It seems to me this one statement alone is more than enough reason not to elect Senator Barack Obama the next president of The United States Of America.
On September 7, 2008 , The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made by Sen. Obama on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. In answering a question posed to him by Stephanapoulos, Obama said the words 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned he quickly said " I mean 'my Christian faith." A slip of the tongue? very possibly, we have no way of knowing, at least not at this time, let's pray that's all it was.
