Huckabee Doesn't Get It
I've been sympathetic to Huckabee during the nomination, but that's over now. All of those who were warning that Huckabee was a flim flam who would lead the GOP in the wrong direction, hear this loudly. You were absolutely right, and while McCain is another wrong direction, Huckabee would have been no better.
This all stems from this blog post at The Next Right detailing Huckabee standing up for Don Young, the pork king of Alaska (and sadly, a Republican). It concludes:
Huckabee's followers understand enough about fiscal / social conservative fusionism that you don't throw your weight behind an unelectable Republican whose "Bridge to Nowhere" branded the Congressional GOP as beyond redemption. And you don't do it by touting his ability to bring home highway funds!
I detected more than a little bit of anti-religious right bias in the opposition to Huckabee, but this goes to show that you don't need to distrust the religious light to conclude that Huckabee's no good. He doesn't understand conservative principles, he doesn't understand that the bridge to nowhere branded the 2004-2006 GOP as a bunch of corrupt pigs, and he is definitely not going to lead an effort to reform the GOP for the future. The faster we are rid of him, the better.

Fear of terrorism, I agree. Who is god?

Huckabee does get it!! We need to re-elect all the republicans possible. No one will ever agree with everyone 100% of the time and this is no different. Huckabee is our only chance to win the south. Neither Mccain nor Romney could do it and Huckabee can. We need him even though we may not agree with every single thing he does.

WHAT OBAMA DOESN'T WANT VOTERS TO KNOW ..
http://infidelsarecool.com/2008/03/20/rev-wright-got-his-masters-degree-in-islam-in-west-africa/
Wrights Own Words..
Most of our members do not know that my Master’s Degree from the University of Chicago’s Divinity School was in the area of Islam in West Africa during the 19th Century — when the trans-Atlantic Slav
Trade was at its zenith. Islam has as many manifestations as Christianity and Judaism.
Rev Wright teacher of Islam was a DR Fazlur Rahman..
This is what Wright preached in his church..
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
There is no use for a God who loves white oppressors the same as oppressed blacks. We have had too much of white love, the love that tells blacks to turn the other cheek and go the second mile."
Black hatred is the black man's strong aversion to white society. No black man living in white America can escape it... While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism. "
If you're white you should take a good look remember that Obama went to this church for 20 years..It's teaching are embedded into his soul..He may have left the church, but the churches racist teachings surly have not left him..
Once the election was underway, Barack Hussein Obama was very careful to promote himself as a Christian and the keystone of his Christian identity was Trinity Church, a Church shaped around a former Musli
whose Divinity School Masters Degree was on Islam and who used the Church to preach hatred for America and support for terrorism. That man of course is Jeremiah Wright.
With the revelations that Jeremiah Wright is a former Muslim and received his Masters degree from the University of Chicago’s Divinity School on Islam in Africa– Obama’s affiliation with Wright’s Trinity Church takes on a whole new meaning.
When Obama attended Wright’s Trinity Church, was he really attending a Church or a Mosque that Wright had built with a Christian facade over it.
Wright has admitted to incorporating ideas from Black Muslims into Trinity. He himself is a former Muslim who promotes an Islam centered view of America and Israel as demon states. There are Synagogues that are actually Churches dedicated to targeting Jews. Muslims have been covertly imitating some of this. There is a Jews for Allah and Muslims have been trained to lead religious discussions with Christians by equating Christianity with Islam , proclaiming that they too believe in Jesus. If there are Messianic Christian synagogues, why not a Prophetic Christian mosque?
Either way, conspiracy theories aside, the Church that Obama was attending had more in common with a Mosque than with a conventional Church. It was led by a former Muslim whose specialty was and is Islam. A former Muslim who hates America and Israel and who preaches ideas that are basically Black Muslim ideas. So Obama’s claim that Trinity Church normalizes him as a Christian goes out the window, because Trinity Church is no mainstream Christian Church. It’s as close as anyone can come to attending a Mosque without actually attending a Mosque.
Consider Obama’s “I’m not a Muslim” defense reverted back to square one. Or is that Mosque one.
Also Obama’s Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group’s official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America’s Declaration of Independence.
copy of manifesto.... Guess Obama didn't see this one either...

This is how Obama learned to lie so well..

here is how taqiyya is used in america..
http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-9730604_ITM
Go back and review al of Obama's rallies and debates, and you waitness a highly skilled taqiyya-tactican in each and every one... He pays ever angle that he can to con people..

Apparently, not very many people care about what you think 'Dave'. What a waste of cyperspace.

Jim,
I would like to see the documentation of all "60 documented lies." Only idiots take such garbage at face value. I demand that you link to, or at least post, your sources and references.
America First6:58PMJul 2nd 2008
Dave just what is your title? Are you a reporter? A commentator? A hit man for obama? What have you done that should make your opinion so important to me? Is that an old photo of you? You don't look hardly old enough to vote. Just so YOU know that WE know, I offer the following quote;
There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar weekly salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." - John Swinton, former New York Times Chief of Staff
We know who you work for and why Davey. Your secret is out.

BLACK-ANTHEM?11:52PMJul 2nd 2008
Rene Marie is hiding behind the excuse of "artistic expression". Why couldn't she be proud to sing the National Anthem of the United States? Remember what happened to Imus? He insulted “one” ball team. This woman insulted “millions” of Americans.
"The Black NATIONAL Anthem"? THERE IS NO BLACK NATION! IS THIS WOMAN CRAZY?
I did not know there was a Black National Anthem. Where is this black nation? Do we need a passport to go there?
Are Hispanics allowed in the Black Nation? Exactly here is it?
This singer opened up a can of worms. It's the black anthem ... period. She should have sung the traditional national anthem and announced she wanted to sing "Lift Every Voice" afterwards.
If she has a problem with the National Anthem, then she could decline the invitation. This was not just poor taste --- this was a real shame. She was more than unprofessional. I might have believed she was drunk. The message she sent was certainly selfish and divisive. Now she has to "deal with it", as she says. An apology would be the considerate thing to do. Being considerate of others does not seem to be one of Rene Marie's qualities. She chose her own race as more important than all others on this occasion. This kind of shame will stay with her.
Many Black-Americans would be offended if a country singer got up and sang "Dixie" and declared it an alternative national anthem.
I see this rendition as nothing different. As hard a song as it is to sing, the “Star Spangled Banner” is our “National Anthem”. Think about it this Fourth of July.
God Bless America.

I am still waiting for Huckabee to become a member of Pat Robertson's "700 Club" as soon as McCain does not choose him as VP...either that or Huck can star in a stage play of "Elmer Gantry." Either one is appropriate.

He does understand "Conservative" politics. Do anything, say anything, and win the election. Power has the ability to reshape reality. If power won't then the fear of God or the fear of terrorism will. That's so sad, but true.
