Translating The Wright Stuff

Barack Obama is yet again trying to distance himself from his former pastor and spiritual advisor Rev. Jeremiah Wright who recently went on national media to defend of his racist and hateful sermons that are out of touch with reality. However Wright appears to know where Obama's loyalties truly lie.

When talking to the National Press Club on Monday he offered the following words.

"We both know that, if Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected."

"Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls, Huffington, whoever's doing the polls," he continued. "Preachers say what they say because they're pastors. They have a different person to whom they're accountable.

"As I said, whether he gets elected or not, I'm still going to have to be answerable to God November 5th and January 21st ," said Wright. "That's what I mean. I do what pastors do. He does what politicians do."

The translation:

Yes I still believe all the nutty things I've said before and so does Obama. He's not sticking up for me at the moment because he has to convince voters that he's not as far out there as I am.

Inasmuch I have followers, I must keep slinging this lunacy while people are still paying attention to me. My five minutes of fame are almost up.

Obama Advisor: Gay Jesus videos is blasphemy? OOPS!

Barack Obama advisor and possible future Chief Technology Director for the White House, Larry Lessig, seems a little perturbed about us irritating Christians who did not appreciate his broadcasting of the video that showed a gay and naked--unless you count the diaper--Jesus Christ dancing through city streets singing "I will survive" before being hit by a bus.

He has agreed to stop using the video in presentations and offered the following excuses-ooops I mean explanations-for his actions:

(1) I did not make the "Jesus Christ: The Musical" video. Javier Prato did.

(2) I used the video in probably 5 or 6 out of 200 talks over the last three years, in the section of my talks in which I show examples of "remix" creativity.

(3) I show these videos not because I endorse the message, or even believe in the message. For example, here's a fantastically clever video about John Kerry I showed dozens of times during the 2004 election. It makes fun of Kerry -- the man I supported for President. The point was not the substance of the message; it was to demonstrate the spread of the technique.

(4) The Jesus video was relevant to the story I was telling because the artist was threatened by the copyright holders because of the video.

(5) I decided to stop using the video when one Christian whom I knew told me he thought unhelpful to the purpose for which I was using it. That seemed right, so I dropped it.

Lessing goes on to write: "It will be interesting (in a root canal kind of way) to see how far or deep PC-ism runs in this society."

Let me be sure I have this right. This is a guy who willingly provides support and advice to Barack Obama and he is complaining about the "PC Patrol?" Every time someone calls the foul on Obama, the "Obama-nites" rush in to call them racist and worst.

Forgive me Lessing, if my sympathy card to you is somehow lost.

McCain's Obama Love-Please Just Shut Up!

In case you guys didn't notice, I'm a Republican. I never really say it in articles because I don't want to even "pretend" to represent the Republican party in them-even though my "favorite" reader in the party accuses me of doing just that on an ongoing basis. The blog and news articles I write represents me, myself and I-not the party.

If you have read my articles from the past, you know that I was in no way jumping for joy at the idea of Sen. John McCain receiving the Republican nomination. In my own mind I've been trying to focus on the good qualities of McCain (and there are many) to justify a vote for him.

I personally feel that there is only one candidate left in the race for the presidency that truly represents Republican ideals and that Republican candidate is now on another ticket-Alan Keyes. Alan Keyes is now running for president on the Constitution Party ticket.

The media has had much to say about rogue crossover Republican voters casting votes for Sen. Barack Obama and a part of me is tempted to become one of them. However my temptation is not to vote for Obama but for Alan Keyes.

It would take me a lot to make me vote against a party to which I am very loyal. There are a few reasons for this.

1. I love the Republican party and its platform. I am a Republican.
2. Even a weak Republican is better than the strongest Democrat on any given day.
3. If I do a crossover vote for a third party candidate and he or she does not win, I've essentially helped elect a Democrat.
4. When a Republican candidate is not living up to standards, you need to fight for the party and its ideals, not against it. Essentially, the candidate needs to be schooled.

However sometimes candidates like John McCain make it hard and so far the only thing that has stopped me from going full force for Alan Keyes is the fact that McCain may be going up against a new kind of evil-Senator Barack Obama.

The latest example of McCain seriously getting under my skin involves McCain's backlash against an ad run by the North Carolina GOP. You may see this video below. If you have trouble viewing this video, click here.



The "Obama love" from John McCain is seriously getting old. There are plenty of Republican candidates who would have kept their mouth shut about this ad and there are plenty of hardcore Republicans who see zero problem with the truth.

If John McCain feels that this is some kind of "racist" ad, that's fine-but he's dead wrong. Exposing liberal racism and hate does not a racist make.

John McCain is in a prime position right now. His current Democratic opponents are tearing themselves apart. Whoever he faces off against in November is going to be battered and bruised. He has nothing to lose but everything to gain by simply keeping his mouth shut. Making comments that divides his own party does him no good.

So do me a favor John McCain, just shut up already and my hat is off to the NCGOP. Please keep up the good work. We Republicans need you.

McCain: Huckabee Has Greater Service to Render Nation

Gov. Mike Huckabee joined McCain's bus tour through Arkansas today to aid McCain in his campaign through the state.

McCain spoke of the millions of votes Huckabee received during his own presidential campaign and how he thought Huckabee would be very helpful to his campaign-particularly in the south. He said he would appear with Huckabee, who has a 65% approval rating in Arkansas, at every possible opportunity.

McCain also spoke of his VP list. He said he did not want to release names because he feared it would lead to the invasion of the individual's privacy but then strongly reiterated that he would strongly rely on Huckabee for many things and that he feels Huckabee does have a "greater service to render to this nation."

Israeli Espionage Against America?

Ben-Ami Kadish, an 83 year old American citizen, was arrested on Tuesday for suspected espionage after he confessed to sharing sensitive classified information with Israeli agents in the 1980s.

"These kinds of activities whether they occurred long in the past or present time are not the kind of actions we would expect from a friend and ally and we would expect that Israel would not be engaged in such activities," State Department spokesman Tom Casey said hours after the story broke.

"We will be discussing, if we haven't already, this issue with the Israelis," said Casey, adding that the arrest does not have any new implications for US national security.

"There is pretty much a zero-tolerance policy for anyone that would engage in sharing that information in an unauthorized way, including countries that are good friends and allies like Israel," he said.

Friends of Ben-Ami Kadish maintain that Kadish is a true American patriot that belongs to a charity group that recently coordinated the donation of over $50,000 worth of equipment to disabled veterans.

The timing of the arrest is curious.

Rumors have been reported that President George W. Bush is considering pardoning Jonathan Pollard, another American citizen who plead guilty to one count of passing classified information to an ally (Israel), without intent to harm the United States in the 1980s. Pollard is currently serving a life sentence without parole.

According to reports, the extent of Pollard's crime involves the passing along of information that Israel was legally entitled to under the 1983, Memorandum of Understanding agreement between the two countries.

It has been reported that Pollard was a civilian American Naval intelligence analyst in the mid 1980s and discovered that information vital to Israel's security was being deliberately withheld by certain elements within the U.S. national security establishment.

The information being withheld from Israel included Syrian, Iraqi, Libyan and Iranian nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare capabilities - being developed for use against Israel. It also included information on ballistic missile development by these countries and information on planned terrorist attacks against Israeli civilian targets.

When Pollard discovered this suppression of information and asked his superiors about it, he was told to "mind his own business", and that "Jews get nervous talking about poison gas; they don't need to know." He also learned that the objective of cutting off the flow of information to Israel was to severely curtail Israel's ability to act independently in defense of her own interests.

Pollard reportedly did everything he possibly could to stop this covert policy and to have the legal flow of information to Israel restored. When his efforts met no success, he began to give the information to Israel directly.

Could it be that the charges against Kadish is simply a smokescreen to prevent the possible release of Pollard?

President Abraham Lincoln once said that "a house divided against itself cannot stand."

If American and Israeli relations are unjustifiably strained, our mutual enemies are the only winners. America must also seriously consider the possibility that enemies may lie within our own camp and I'm not referring to an alleged Israeli spy.

U.N. Walk Out Over Libya's Nazi Camp Remarks

The Jerusalem Post has reported that diplomats from The United States, Britian, France and other countries walked out on a closed door United Nations Security Council meeting late Wednesday after Libya's Ambassador, Ibrahim Dabbashi--the only Arab country representative-- made remarks comparing the current situation of Palestinians in Gaza to what Jews suffered in Nazi concentration camps during World War II .

After the long winded speech that ended in the comparison, diplomats said French Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert, US deputy ambassador Alejandro Wolff, Britain's deputy ambassador Karen Pierce, Belgian Ambassador Johan Verbeke and Costa Rica's deputy ambassador immediately walked out of the council's consultation room.

South Africa's UN Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo, the current council president, then ended the meeting but would not publicly confirm the walkout. He simply stated that "ambassadors always walk in and out."

Hillary Says She Would Nuke Iran If They Attack Israel

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has recently been trying to convince American voters that she would not be a push over if she where to become Commander in Chief. She has been consistently been stepping up the tough talk and lately she has had a few choice words about Iran and Israel.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann on Monday, Clinton said that she would warn Iran’s leaders that “their use of nuclear weapons against Israel would provoke a nuclear response from the United States."

In an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, she said “In the next 10 years, during which [the Iranians] might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That’s a terrible thing to say but … that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic."

"In the next 10 years, during which [the Iranians] might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

Has Hillary decided to join the grown ups in the real world now that most of the "liberal loonies" have fell in line behind rival candidate, Barack Obama?

Hillary Marches On After Obama Spanking in PA

Obama's buddies Al and Jimmy may be teaming up with plans to tell Sen. Hillary Clinton to get lost, but she's not listening. Tuesday evening she spanked Sen. Barack Obama in the Democratic Pennsylvania primary by ten points.

"Obama-nites" have been trying to convince each other for weeks that Obama's comments, about how Pennyslvania voters "cling to guns or religion" due to their frustrations with the economy, would not effect his Pennyslvania campaign in any way. They were obviously wrong. "Annie Oakley" came out with a win.

"Some people counted me out and said to drop out, but the American people don't quit and they deserve a president who doesn't quit either," Clinton told cheering supporters in Philadelphia after the Obama smack-down.

A long-faced and obviously frustrated Obama offered Clinton a brief congratulation, threw in a few comments about the struggles of the American people and then gave the standard Bush equals McCain message to his supporters. Afterwards he took no questions from reporters and hopped a plane to Indiana.

"Operation Chaos" will now move to Indiana and North Carolina for the states' primaries on May 6.

Obama's Jewels: Michael Moore and More

As the bloody Democratic battle continues to wage, candidate Barack Obama continues to pick up endorsement jewels for his "King Liberal" crown.

Film maker Michael Moore, who praises Cuba's communist-controlled dilapidated health care system over the advanced system available in America, has said that he originally intended to remain neutral in the Democratic primary. Yet "was led to speak out after last week's debate in Philadelphia when Obama was questioned about his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright."

In a written Obama endorsement, Moore further discussed the actions that lead to his epiphany.

"I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple," he said.

Former president Jimmy Carter, who recently returned from his brunch with Hamas, has also been hinting at an Obama endorsement. He has said that although he has made his decision he will not officially release the information until at least June 3. He also added, "my little town of Plains voted for Obama, and as you know my state of Georgia voted for Obama, and all of my children, all of my grandchildren, and all of their spouses are for Obama."

Fox News reported on Sunday that Carter has also teamed up with Al Gore for the task of sending a message to Obama's rival, Senator Hillary Clinton, that she should get lost.

"They’re in discussions," a source close to Carter reportedly told The Scotsman newspaper. "Carter has been talking to Gore. They will act, possibly together, or in sequence."

Obama Receives Endorsement from Hamas

On Sunday, Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Prime Minister of Hamas, gave an interview with a New York radio station (WABC) to praise Jimmy Carter's meeting with the terrorist group he represents. During the interview he made it clear that Hamas has nothing but love for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and gave him a glowing endorsement.

Yousef called Obama a man of "great character." "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election, he said." Why? "He has a vision to change America."

Rep. Steve King of Iowa recently came under fire by the media for making the following statements. "I will tell you that if he is elected president, the radical Islamists, the al-Qa’ida and the radical Islamists and their supporters will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11th. Because they will declare victory in this War on Terror."

Now that Obama has received his Hamas endorsement, is there any realistic doubt in the truth behind King's statements? Where is the mainstream media now?
