If these folks are so f.ing smart, why the H E double hockey sticks haven’t they put their proposals on the docket already ? .. why do we have to wait until they get elected President ? Doesn’t out bitterness and frustration deserve action today, not some 9 months from now ? If their ideas are so great, doesn’t America deserve them today ?

I can look into thomas.loc.gov and see that Obama hasn’t submitted bills to solve these problems. Shoot .. he and Hiliary are in the majority party of both chambers. So why the wait ?

Do they think that we are that dense ?
Yes, yes they do .. or perhaps Obama hasn’t found the in basket yet.

You can’t have it both ways. Does having a monster government in control of your life save you from bitterness, or does it manipulate, oppress and attempt murder?

Obama is a leftist; whatever brains he carried with him to law school got fried somewhere as he adopted a leftist political stance. One also recalls how Fidel Castro got a wet kiss from at least one and possibly more New York Times staffers before he became El Lider Maximo. History does not repeat exactly, but what’s happening now appears close enough to the politics of the recent past.

He doesn’t just want our votes, he wants us to think like him. In fact, he cannot understand why anyone would think any differently.

Kind of makes him an asshole..

The Weather Underground was more than just a dissident group during the Viet Nam era. They participated in a wave of violence and bombings during that era. In March of 1970, Ayres, a member of the group, went underground after a bomb accidentally exploded in Greenwich Village (3-6-70), killing three Weather Underground members, including Ayer’s then-girlfriend. Ayers spent his years underground carrying out bombings of various locations including the Capitol Building, the Pentagon and the New York PD Hqs. As a fugitive, he had two children with Dohrn, who later became his wife. In 1981, they turned themselves in. Charges against Ayers were dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct during the years-long search for the fugitive.

What is illuminating-and needs to be remembered-is that in September 2001, Ayres told the New York Times, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough”.

So Ayres and Dohrn went on to careers in academia. They also developed a relationship with Barack Obama as they continued their left-wing activism-albeit within the legal system. Obama reportedly first met Ayres and Dohrn in 1995, when he was taken to their home to seek their support for his first run for political office in the state senate.

Ayers has been since 1999 a board member of the Woods Fund of Chicago, a left-wing foundation that sponsors activist community organizing in Chicago. Barack Obama also served on that board from 1999-2002. It should be noted that in 2001, the Woods Fund gave a $40,000 grant to the Arab-American Action Network, followed by a $35,000 grant in 2002. This organization is headed by Mona Khalidi, the wife of Columbia University Professor, Rashid Khalidi. This man is an activist who supports terror against Israel and has worked for the PLO-including during the years when that organization was killing Americans. In 2005, Obama, Ayers and Dohrn gave testimonials at a farewell dinner for Khalidi.

In addition, Obama and Ayres have served on panels together over the years including an activist conference in Chicago April 19-20 of 2002.

This is not to suggest that Ayres and Dohrn are still involved in illegal activities, though it may be assumed that Ayres is unrepentent for his past. It might also be argued that one questionable association with someone who was involved in terroristic activity decades ago could be disregarded. The problem is that these questionable associations are starting to pile up. First Jeremiah Wright, then Ayers and Khalidi. Guilt by association? Yes, but it is cause for genuine concern.

As usual, the mainstream media is ignoring this story. But don’t the American people have the right to at least be aware and consider this when they vote?

Being from Texas, I’m quite familiar with stereotypes about rural areas (even though I am actually from a large city). I’ve seen the sneer that appears on a liberal’s face when they hear my accent often enough that I know exactly what they think about me.

Well, I’m a’fixin’ to head out. There’s a turkey shoot goin’ on down to the feed store, and my pappy wants me to clean his ol’ 12-gauge for him.
