Subj: FW: Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a Texas Rancher whose hand had been caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to Obama and his bid for the presidency.
The old rancher said, Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, 'What is a post turtle'?
The old rancher said, When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain.
'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he sure as heck doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there and you just wonder what kind of an idiot put him there in the first place.'

HAVE A GREAT 4TH of JULY AND GOD BLESS (and save) AMERICA...!!!
"As I've 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 and the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose." "I like the song I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing." "If that were our anthem, then I might salute it."
(Question: What was this guy smoking???)
From Dreams of My Father: “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.”
From Audacity of Hope: “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.”

From the very start this has been the out cry from many American
people. "FRESHMAN ILLINOIS SENATOR".
Obama DOES NOT have the experience to lead this Country. Iraq is just
one important example on how Obama has fliped flopped. He will not and
can not fufill his promise to the American people, in widthdrawing our
troups immeditaly. A CAMPAIGN QUMMICK! And how many Americans/ Obama
supporters fell for it?
Senator Clinton has been right all along he CAN NOT win against
Seantor McCain. Well, well, well the chickens are coming home to
roost!
I'm a Independent voter, who has been sitting on the fence for awhile
now, just waiting to see excatly what this "FRESHMAN SENATOR" was
going to do after the primeries. I knew if I waited long enough the
answer and the clear choice would come to light.
I only pray MORE American see the light and make the right choice. It
would be better not to vote then electing a "FRESHMAN SENATOR" to the
white house.

The really unfortunate thing about this election will be that Obama will have spent about 500 million dollars to lose. Money that could have been put to good use.

Barack Obama on Rev. Jeremiah Wright: "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother."
So Barack, since making the statement above, you HAVE disowned Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ and threw your white grandmother "under the bus", literally speaking! So our question to you is, have you also disowned the black community, or are you a liar! You can't have it both ways. Just come clean with the American people and run an honest campaign for "a change we can believe in"!
Another one bites the dust! Rev. Wright, TUCC, Rev. Pfleger, Jim Johnson, Women, Campaign Promises and the Muslim Community.
How many more will Barack kick under the bus to reach his ultimate goal? If he keeps going this way, he'll have to get some more buses. Watch out Malik, you’re next.

Score this round to McCain, big-time
Christian Conservatives Uniting Behind McCain
July 2, 2008
At a meeting Tuesday in Denver, about 100 conservative Christian leaders from around the country agreed to unite behind the candidacy of John McCain, a politician they have long distrusted, marking the latest in a string of movement that bodes well for McCain’s general election prospects among the Republican base.
“Collectively we feel that he will support and advance those moral values that we hold much greater than Obama, who in our view will decimate moral values,” said Mat Staver, the chairman of Liberty Counsel, a legal advocacy group, who previously supported Mike Huckabee’s candidacy.
“There are people who came through the primary with very mixed emotions of the candidate,” Staver continued, noting that many in the group had been in Denver to attend a separate meeting for astors. “This
event was to put those aside.”
The group included leaders like Phyllis Schlafly, the long-time leader of Eagle Forum; Steve Strang, the
publisher of Charisma magazine; Phil Burress, a prominent Ohio marriage and anti-pornography activist; David Barton, the founder of WallBuilders and Donald Hodel, a former secretary of the Interior, who previously served on the board of Focus on the Family. Jim Dobson, the head of Focus and an outspoken critic of McCain, did not attend. The McCain campaign was also not directly represented at the meeting.
A second person who attended the event, but asked not to be named, said that the group was motivated
principally by a desire to defeat Barack Obama. “None of these people want to meet their maker knowing that
they didn’t do everything they could to keep Barack Obama from being president,” the participant said. “You’ve got these two people running for president. One of them is going to become president. That’s the perspective.
Bad news for the Obama boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the part
“None of these people want to meet their maker knowing that they didn’t do everything they could to keep
Barack Obama from being president,”
Matter of fact, let's say it again.
“None of these people want to meet their maker knowing that they didn’t do everything they could to keep
Barack Obama from being president,”

Democratic Campaign PlayBook for Obama
Attention: All Obama Boy supporters.
There will be times when you encounter those who would choose to reveal information about me that knocks me off my pedestal. There is some vinegar in the kool-aid I tell you, but pay no attention.
Never fear help is near...Here are the recommended responses to such blasphemy....
1...You are a racist. Of course the only reason someone would not love me is because I'm black..Play the race card often.
2...You are a liar. Of course there is no foundation for any negative remarks about me. The millions who do not see my brilliance are, of course, liars.
3. You hate Obama. What other reason could there be that there are millions who will vote Hillary or McCain.
4.. You are ill-informed. Perhaps they don't buy the garbage I give you on my web-site. The only source for Obama information. Do not look elsewhere..
5... If none of the above work...stupid, idiot, moron are words that should be used often when you are unable to defend me intelligently7.
Keep the Kool-aid alive even if it is filled with vinegar.
Respectfully
Barack Obama
The Presumptuous Nominee
Crystal1:58PMJul 4th 2008
This is one of the most irrelevant polls I've seen on here and there have been ton's of them. The McCain supporters will vote McCain and the Obama supporters will vote Obama. If they don't believe their candidate will win, why bother going through the process of supporting them?

I will vote for Barack Hussein Obama and so will everyone in my family all my friends and even the conservatives I work with.If you ask people on the streets McCain has no chance whatsoever..the only place the truth is so distorted is these blogs which attract underage people,foreign,people,nut jobs,right wing Nazi's and white supremecists,and NASCAR Soccer Morons.

RACIST-ANTI-AMERICAN2:33PMJul 4th 2008
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS RACE --- HILLARY SHOULD BE. THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA "SELECTED" OBAMA --- HE WAS NOT "ELECTED" BY THE PEOPLE.
HE'S STILL DOING THE "HUSTLE" --- MOVE TO THE LEFT --- THEN TO THE RIGHT! HE'LL SAY AND DO ANYTHING TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.
DID JEREMIAH WRIGHT SAY: "HE'S JUST A TYPICAL POLITICIAN"? THEY'LL SAY ANYTHING TO GET WHAT THEY WANT.
OBAMA FOUGHT TO HAVE IMUS FIRED WHEN HE SPOKE AGAINST "ONE" BALL TEAM. HE SAID NOTHING WHEN RENE MARIE INSULTED AND DISRESPECTED "MILLIONS" OF AMERICANS.
BLACK ANTHEM??? IS THERE A BLACK COUNTRY?
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
where 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.
VOTE JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

Obama Sets Out to Become the “Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown” of Chicago Politics
Does anyone remember the popular Jim Croche song of the 70’s titled “Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown?” It goes something like this: “On the South Side of Chicago, it’s the meanest part of town, but if you go down there, you’d best beware of a man named Leroy Brown.”
Leroy was a man who had what’s called “street credit.” In his case, he did it by being “meaner than a junkyard dog.” Barack’s problem was that while he harbored deep psychological issues and an unhealthy race consciousness, his education, social status and mannerisms marked him as an Oreo Preppie.
This had to change if he was to fast track votes from a black population raised on blaming “the white world,” for every personal shortcoming. Obama’s answer was simple. Show your potential voters that you were in agreement with their views. Through your associations, prove that you were one of them.
OhReally3:13PMJul 4th 2008
Bad Bad LeRoy Brown (continued)
In Chicago and other large urban environments with a large black population, church and politics go hand and hand. Obama was quick to grasp this fact and successfully developed relationships in both areas.
As a community organizer in Chicago’s almost exclusively black South Side, Barack Obama was anything but the moderate “post racial” candidate he currently portrays himself to be.
We’ve heard much of Reverand Jeremiah Wright Jr., but there are other iconic religious figures in “the meanest part of town.” One of them is a left wing white Priest named Father Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina’s Church.
Pfleger is a close friend of both Jeremiah Wright Jr. and The Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan. A Caucasian, he conducts his sermons with the accent, mannerism, politics and Black Liberation dogma of Jeremiah Wright. To Pfleger, America is in the era of Jim Crow and is a repressive nation. He is also a close friend of Barack Obama.
Under scrutiny Barack Obama has frequent memory lapses relative to what his mentor Jeremiah Wright preached in church, but he is a long time friend of Father Pfleger and has been so throughout his political career.
OhReally3:15PMJul 4th 2008
Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown (continued)
Inside St. Sabina’s cathedral, you find the red, green and black flag of the Black Liberation Movement. There’s even more than one of them conspicuously displayed.
Standard fare preaching includes the mantras of black victimization and national conspiracy on the part of whites to keep black people down. Barack Obama has been filmed listening to Pfleger’s sermons, but would probably claim amnesia if questioned about what he remembered.
Like many mass movement preachers of all races, Chicago’s radical black clergy lives quite well, particularly after retirement. Some begin early such as Louis Farrakhan, who among other things, owns the Islamic-chic Salaam Restaurant, built for five million dollars in 1995 and worth considerably more now.
Obama has been careful not to be photographed with Farrakhan, but has known all of these people for over twenty years. Both Farrakhan and Obama have made frequent visits to St. Sabina and someone having a photo of them together must be one of Obama’s great nightmares.
OhReally3:17PMJul 4th 2008
Bad Bad LeRoy Brown (continued)
But in Obama-world, religion, racism and political patronage go hand in hand, as reported by the Chicago Tribune. According to their expose, between 1995 and 2001 when Obama was a State Senator, the “impoverished” Father Pfleger donated $1,500.00 to his campaign. In return, Obama later padded the Illinois state budget with earmarks to favored constituents, which included some $225,000.00 in grants to St. Sabina.
As a United States Senator, Obama frequently criticizes “business as usual politics” in Washington, but has elevated his earmarks on a national level to the tune of over one hundred million dollars. He decries taking money from corporations, which is illegal anyway. At the same time he has accepted over $250,000.00 from oil company executives alone.
To “post racial” Barack Obama getting intimate with racists has proven quite beneficial in his political rise. Until recently, their words not only didn’t seem to bother him, but he eagerly exposed his young children to have their minds twisted by their theology

OBAMA-BIN-LIAR11:49AMJul 4th 2008
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA can give all the speeches he wants, all I know is that OBAMA LIED AGAIN!
Now he’s “refined” his position on Iraq (again)…
“My 16-month timeline, if you examine everything that I’ve said, was always premised on making sure that our troops were safe. I said that based on the information that we had received from our commanders that one to two brigades a month could be pulled out safely, from a logistical perspective. My guiding approach continues to be that we’ve got to make sure that our troops are safe and that Iraq is stable. I’m going to continue to gather information to find out whether those conditions still hold.”
So … IN OTHER WORDS, HE’S GOING TO DO THE SAME THING THAT PRESIDENT BUSH IS DOING IN IRAQ. Let the situation dictate when the troops will be out of there.
So … HE LIED! (Hey, if they can do it to Bush I can do it to Obama.)
You can’t believe a word Obama says … but that isn’t saying much. He doesn’t say much in the first place … though he does do a lot of talking mind you. But it doesn’t all add up to having said much.
REMEMBER --- HIS "MENTOR-PASTOR" WRIGHT SAID, "OBAMA IS A POLITICIAN --- HE'LL SAY ANYTHING TO GET WHAT HE WANTS".
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008 --- HE HAS PROVEN HE LOVES OUR COUNTRY.
