		<description>Obama came to Indiana, to explain something he&#039;d said...about some small town citizens being ‘bitter&#039; as if he already knew that he had already been selected to be President.  It was an interesting ‘slip&#039; when Obama made the connection about those who are bitter about this ‘Change&#039; being those who cling to God and Guns, yet makes no difference, so they become bitter, and vote on matters like immigration and abortion to vent this frustration of the coming ‘change&#039;.

Where I was raised, I saw many a bumper sticker that read, “God, Guns, and Guts.... lets keep all three” and I always understood why we should.  We don&#039;t embrace our faith, or clean our guns because we&#039;re frustrated because our weapons that we have relied on for so long have suddenly become useless in preventing this ‘change&#039;

But Obama is correct when he claims that citizens are angry...not because nobody is listening, but rather because nobody is speaking out, because they have been forced to forfeit their freedom of speech, they have been forced by political correctness to surrender their ‘Guts&#039;....afraid they may say something that would result in being labeled a racist and ostracized by society.  They are bitter because they have had their freedoms removed...a change that is never welcome.

Maybe they are bitter when they see others without any experience being given special preference and promotion simply because of the color of their skin.  Maybe their bitter because they&#039;ve lost their way of supporting their family due to those who are willing to do their jobs at half the wage because they have no lawful right being in America.  Maybe their bitter when they are constantly made to feel guilty for the victimization of Blacks when they nor their relatives had anything whatsoever to do with the slave trade their own prophet Mohammed was involved with. Bitter because anybody can come into this country and make this same claim against any/all whites and receive special treatment, special preference in job contracts and government money...as if we have fallen into this same trap of trying to pay for peace.

Which brings me to who I think is the bitter one....Obama&#039;s wife, since she can&#039;t keep her mouth shut long enough till after the swearing in before she starts revealing what this ‘change&#039; is all about....what this Black Liberation Theology is all about.  Mrs. Obama claimed that Americans needed to give up some of their pie to pay for this change...Glen Beck speaking as a true American brought this ‘socialistic elitism&#039; to our attention, however did not make the connection to the origin of this new ‘change&#039;

This surrender of land or wealth in the name of peace did not originate from the B.L.O. Black Liberation Organizations, but is the very peace plan that has been implemented by the United Nations.

In the early 1940&#039;s an Islamic plan was implemented to establish the boundaries of the Islamic domain, as this is the primary and ultimate goal of Islam...global domination.

The plan came from a book by Maulana  Muhammed Ali written in 1942 entitled, ‘The New World Order’ (which no doubt would explain why there are so many misleading experts on ‘The New World Order’ covering the real conspiracy by the same name.)

This book entitled The New World Order was written a Muslim, and presented a solution to the main problem facing the United Nations....peace.  The plan for change, for this New World Order was an Islamic solution for an Islamic problem, and under the guise of Justice, extortion became global law, for the peace plan presented, adopted, and now enforced is extortion, plain and simple, for it demands the ‘Haves&#039; to surrender land or wealth in exchange for peace from the ‘Have nots’

And this is the Theology of which Mrs. Obama speaks of when she refers to us surrendering our pie.  But why is she so open about her intentions?  Because she like her church knows that this is also the United Nations plan for America, since it is law being enforced by Americas military already, and why the military is indoctrinating troops into Islamic law already.

The United Nations adopted this plan called the New World Order and Islamic agents were sent into the interiors of the enemies of Islam (Israel and America) to plant the seeds of ‘change&#039; thus came into being the Palestinian Liberation Organization in Israel, and the Black Liberation Organizations in America.

We know about the P.L.O. but not about the B.L.O. AKA...  The N.O.I. or Nation of Islam under Minister Louis Farrakhan.  This organization began with an unknown, unidentified Muslim contacted a Black man named Fard (AKA Elijah Mohammed) and informed him that he was the Savior of the Black man, that the white man was the devil and Christianity is poison, and they must change their names, to Islamic names, and demand land in exchange for peace.

And this is the most troubling part of this ‘coming change&#039; that not only is it extortion...but worse...it gives birth to terrorist, it promotes terrorism, for in order for the ‘Haves&#039; to feel the need to surrender land or wealth to the ‘Have nots&#039; they must be forced into ‘treaties&#039; motivated by terror, thus the reason terrorism is used and justified, for it is Islamic law, adopted by the United Nations, and enforced by a Country who claims to be at war against terrorism.

Rep. Steve King R.-IA claimed ‘that should Obama win the Presidency, that terrorist would be dancing in the streets&#039;   A very astute observation articulated, and no doubt he has had to pay the price for vocalizing his ‘Guts&#039;,  but the point that was missed was that the terrorist have already been dancing in the streets...long before this election.

The terrorist began dancing in the streets when America began enforcing the United Nations Peace Plan (Islamic law AKA The New World Order) They began dancing when Reagan began arming Terrorist to defeat the Russian&#039;s war on terror (the same terrorist were having to fight now) The terrorist danced in the streets when Bush Sr. announced the New World Order in the United Nations.  The terrorist danced in the streets when Clinton brought the P.L.O and Israel together in Washington, for Democracy was being established in the Holy Land, by this U.N. peace plan of Israel surrendering land or wealth in exchange for peace.

Thus Democracy was established in the Holy Land, and the citizens could now lawfully elect their leaders, and they did.  The intimidated fearful citizens exposed to the decades of Islamic terrorism quickly elected the terrorist organization of Hamas, and now this group our Government properly identified, as a terrorist organization was suddenly a properly elected government that America would be dealing with.  Who says that crime does not pay?

 And it is this example that perpetuates terrorist to continue to use terror to extort land or wealth.  Evidence that Democracy is a dream, and a nightmare when established in a land where the people dwell in fear and deserve not the freedoms of a true Democracy.  Yet we shed the blood of our children to fight against terrorism?  Or is it worse than we thought, and our children are being used to fight Islamic civil wars?

Regardless, we are in a war that we have already lost.  Democracy is what caused this curse upon Israel, who has surrendered land and wealth to those using terror to extort, and we are just beginning to reap the consequences for cursing Israel, for embracing this Islamic law, and becoming just as guilty.

Obama doesn&#039;t understand the bitterness of his own white bloodline...those who have paid the price, watching their land become invaded by those who care nothing for our way of life, but to the contrary want to establish change, to establish an independent land within America under the authority of Islamic law...and that is the core of this Black Liberation Theology as they are calling it today...the goal...to establish an Independent  African/Islamic Nation upon our lands.

The problem is that Islamic law calls our faith, our belief in the Only Begotten Son a ‘Monstrous Thing&#039; an unforgivable sin against Islamic law, punishable by death, and this is the foundation of Islam, and the reason for their Jihad, to eradicate Christianity, and abolish our faith, to establish Islam as the one and only true religion.

Our faith in the Holy Trinity is ‘shirk&#039; according to Islamic law, and must be punished.

It is unbelievable that is Government would be sponsoring terrorism and enforcing lawlessness like the New World Order, but even more unbelievable is the fact that this government expects us Christians to support and maintain this hostile religion against our will, that we must tolerate those who come into our lands with the intentions of taking our lands and eradicating our faith, and making us bow to the will of Allah.

Let our ‘bitterness&#039; be completely understood.  We don&#039;t like to be threatened.  We don&#039;t like our freedoms removed.  We don&#039;t like those coming into our lands claiming we owe them what is ours, and thinking to ‘change&#039; our way of life.  We don&#039;t like sacrificing our children for lies or to enforce lawlessness, or promote terrorism....call us bitter now, but later you will call us bold, for we will not bow to Islamic law, and we will expose this spineless government for what it is.

The book of Revelation talks about the last days when there would come one speaking great things...thinking to ‘change&#039; times..it&#039;s time to wake up.  It&#039;s all going down.

		<description>Regardless, Obama is in no easy position running for President and he must work and be more cautious than his opponant Hillary.  The history of America is putting much pressure on Obama and it is a fact becasue he&#039;s black it will be more of a challenge. Let the man be and do his thing.  Dont be a crab in a bucket.  If and when he is President it will be a whole different picture all the while keeping to his word.  You think he has a voice now wait till then.  Hundreds and thousands will regret that they did not vote for barak Obama--yes you can!!!</description>

		<description>@Hisham — I think Obama is going through an evolution on foreign policy, as is shown by his recent comments on being willing to meet with the leaders of Iran, Cuba and others without preconditions. I hope he was just getting the AIPAC stuff out of the way so Israel&#039;s supporters (who are quick to condemn) wouldn&#039;t be doubting him throughout the campaign. Since he is new to foreign policy, I think we need to give him a few months to think these things through. There are still many things I admire in Obama&#039;s character, and I see criticisms like mine as positive, because if he becomes aware that some of his would-be supporters feel this way, it might stiffen his spine a little against the other side.

Thanks for your visit, and I&#039;m sorry I took so long to reply. I like your blog and I&#039;ll stop there again!</description>

		<description>Great Post! I hope the American public won&#039;t be fooled by yet another crook. I&#039;m a moroccan and I have to admit I liked his character when Obama first came to light but I rapidly changed my mind when I saw his performance in front of a packed AIPAC Forum last March. He&#039;s another Israel apologist plain and simple (how could he be otherwise?)
It&#039;s always refreshing to see that there are still americans who&#039;re not fooled by this two business parties system which is fundamentally flawed and undemocratic.</description>

		<description>@leblase — Somehow I think we (Americans) don&#039;t even think of articulating a progressive foreign policy, although we all know what a progressive economic policy or health care policy or minority rights policy would look like. This may be because we are too blinded by the comforts of empire, which you touched on and which is why I quoted you, or because we think &quot;I don&#039;t know enough about it, so it&#039;s best to leave it to experts&quot; which is a big mistake. And the final reason, in recent years, is fear of being called a traitor if we dissent.

I agree with the commenter &quot;Obama&quot; above—even if he links to a site selling T-shirts—&quot;I also hope [Obama&#039;s] presidency doesn&#039;t temporarily &#039;re-brand&#039; our government so that the next politicians can use it to their advantage, and pervert his initial motives into something it shouldn&#039;t be.&quot; Electing a president with friendlier ideas isn&#039;t the end of the road, but only the beginning. Our nation&#039;s response to 9/11 was based on wrong moral assumptions that need to be pulled out by the root, IMHO. Accountablity needs to be restored to government, abuse of power needs to be exposed, and faith in democracy needs to be restored both internally and on the international scale. This will mean hard choices, and even with the best of intentions, Obama or a different president will need strong popular support and even pressure to succeed.

Meanwhile, I&#039;m considering relocating to a small, less wealthy nation where democracy might still work on a smaller scale :S

About the long comments, please continue, because it makes me feel less like I&#039;m monopolizing the debate!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@leblase — Somehow I think we (Americans) don&#8217;t even think of articulating a progressive foreign policy, although we all know what a progressive economic policy or health care policy or minority rights policy would look like. This may be because we are too blinded by the comforts of empire, which you touched on and which is why I quoted you, or because we think &#8220;I don&#8217;t know enough about it, so it&#8217;s best to leave it to experts&#8221; which is a big mistake. And the final reason, in recent years, is fear of being called a traitor if we dissent.</p>
<p>I agree with the commenter &#8220;Obama&#8221; above—even if he links to a site selling T-shirts—&#8221;I also hope [Obama's] presidency doesn&#8217;t temporarily &#8216;re-brand&#8217; our government so that the next politicians can use it to their advantage, and pervert his initial motives into something it shouldn&#8217;t be.&#8221; Electing a president with friendlier ideas isn&#8217;t the end of the road, but only the beginning. Our nation&#8217;s response to 9/11 was based on wrong moral assumptions that need to be pulled out by the root, IMHO. Accountablity needs to be restored to government, abuse of power needs to be exposed, and faith in democracy needs to be restored both internally and on the international scale. This will mean hard choices, and even with the best of intentions, Obama or a different president will need strong popular support and even pressure to succeed.</p>

		<description>Hi eatbees,
I&#039;m pretty flattered to read your quotation and your great translation -it actually sounds better in your English than in my French! - and I&#039;m also quite impressed by the quality of the comments to your post.

Concerning Obama, and not forgetting that in order to raise funds for his campaign he had to do a lot of mainstreaming, I&#039;m afraid he got lost on the way.
One could say he is well advised -to raise so much money also means he has a great reach over people- but one could also say he is badly advised: the candidate is turning into a I&#039;ll-say-what-you-want-to-hear template.
You have perfectly picked some of the issues where one would have wished Sen. Obama to show a difference and didn&#039;t, making it all the more disturbing.
Where is the man who got my attention in 2003, standing against the Iraq war when only one dared to, in spite of the hysterical atmosphere created around a fake patriotic argument?
Where is the man who knows of the outside world and its complexity?
People are still waiting for an imaginative, sensible plan that would reconcile America with the rest of the world, and still maintain a high rate of security against the follies to come.
Up to now, I would say he hasn&#039;t delivered.. But neither have the other candidates.
Making better than Clinton at fund-raising is not convincing enough a policy...Are the Democrats waiting for their leaders to crash, in order to call back Gore?

@E Hillblom
Regarding Air France, it so happens that they really do fly a lot  more expelled people than other European airlines.
You&#039; re right: it&#039;s not entirely their fault but their regulation allows them to object to this.
One of my commentators pointed out that my beloved government charters very expansive Beech 1900 from Carlson Wagon-lit to throw people back to their misery.
Sorry , eatbees, for being so long;-).
It&#039; such a pleasure to read your posts!</description>

		<description>As far as Obama being a new face for The Establishment—I think if he were its new face, I could stand looking at it a lot longer than Baby Bush&#039;s monkey noggin. It would be a prettier, more charismatic face, with a smooth, silky, chocolaty voice, not unlike:

Mmmmmmmm.  Yes.  Just thinking of it is hypnotizing me and making me thirsty for foreign policy soup. Isn&#039;t it about time that we let some &lt;b&gt;brown&lt;/b&gt; people fuck up this country? White guys have been doing it for decades. Let &lt;b&gt;us&lt;/b&gt; have a shot at it!

		<description>Hi eatbees,

I think when they talk about &quot;U.S interests&quot; they mean U.S corporate interests. And when military might is used to protect these corporate interests, that&#039;s where things get messy.

But if, as you said, U.S acts democratically/diplomatically to sign treaties with other nations - not just for &quot;peace, no war&quot; but also to facilitate trade, then that&#039;s good. But again, a country has the right to accept/reject any diplomatic proposals by U.S.
A rejection should not be answered by threats.

A better foreign policy does not mean no foreign policy or complete withdrawal from the world. It just has to be better than the current war-mongering system.</description>
