Obama's "Christianity" and Islamic Bias, Janet's Excellent May 2 Posts Below - Obama In His Own Words, Dread of Obama's Stealth Intentions and Presidency and McCain's Campaign

Dear Jennifer,

Thanks for your kind words. I feel the same about your posts -- I really enjoy them!

And here, we are in complete agreement. There's just a little confusion -- the private side I was referring to were my own private doubts, etc., which I might not state publicly when they are just based on vague feelings. In this case, what I was referring to was Obama's sincerity regarding his Christianity. I might have some feelings about that, but I wouldn't care to comment on it.

I never meant that it fell into the category of his privacy to question whether his long time associations and past connections, both through 20 years at Trinity United Church, and it's connections to Farrakhan (there are many writings on this site and elsewhere documenting Rev.Wright's bias and connections to Islam), other associations, and his family, etc., etc., etc., have influenced Obama to have a bias toward Muslims and Islam. Of course they have, and that's not private for a Presidential Candidate.

Aside from so many, many other reasons, there is no question that this background alone ought to preclude him from even being considered for the Office of President, at any time, but especially at this point in history when we are at war on many fronts, both domestic and internationally, with the forces of Radical and Political Islam.

Yes, of course, his announcing that he would hold direct talks with Ahmadinejad has already dangerously empowered Ahmadinejad and Iran.

His attempt at disarming public opinion by minimalizing the threat of Iran and it's nuclear program, is just short of criminal dishonesty as far as I am concerned. (That's way, way too far to go -- despicable -- just for the purpose of political gain. He dishonored his "sainthood" with that one, and I'm sure he must have lost at least a few Obamamaniac votes for it.)

Let's also keep in mind that the Far Left has aligned itself with Radical Islam -- and he and those that support him -- unquestionably are Far Left.

I have just yesterday read Janet's excellent post of May 2 -- "Barak Obama -- In His Own Words" and the three others she posted.

The more I read about and learn about him, the more I am convinced that he is also another type of "stealth" candidate -- in the sense that he is misrepresenting his real views and intentions (in many, many ways). From Janet's Post - In His Own Words -- he openly expresses such blatently anti-white sentiments that it's shocking.

His talk to the Jewish group in Florida was almost obscene in its duplicity, and if I were them I'd be insulted at its transparency.

Aside from being the kind of weakling that our adversaries are going to make mincemeat out of, being thoughtless and impuslive, and having very poor judgment (even if his intentions were honest -- which is very doubtful), he's hiding that his hope and intention, as that of one of his major supporters, George Soros, and others of his minions, is to see American power, influence and wealth diminished. There's no doubt in my mind about that. Their "opinions" can easily be researched. It can also be heard, if one listens and reads between the lines of what Obama says, and if one checks out who he has "looked up to" for political guidance and inspiration throughout his life.

A truly Anti-American President -- it chills to the bones.

Insane, as you put it, is not an inappropriate word to describe the possibility of having a man such as him in our highest office.

It'll be very difficult for McCain to grill Obama directly on his bias toward Islam and neglecting to make a clear distinction between the religion of Islam and political Islam, which includes Shari'a law. In the past eight years, we haven't arrived at any publicly acceptable national definitions of exactly who our enemy is. There has been no distinction made between the religion of Islam and the political aspects of Islam (or distinction between the ways in which it is practiced, or however it needs to be looked at) -- we read about those distinctions here on this website -- but neither the government nor the press has educated or informed the general public. All the public knows is that there are Terrorists who are Muslim, and Muslims who are not Terrorists. The general public's understanding of this is very shallow.

If McCain goes at the Obama-Islam issue directly, he will open himself to accusations of religious prejudice -- and racism will be added to that accusation. Though that might get him some votes, it will also lose him votes. McCain's supporters, on their own, can try to inform the public and discuss Obama's connections, but it won't be easy. The blogs will continue to cover the subject. But it's a problem not easily dealt with by the "sound bites" that our elections have, sadly, become so dependent upon.

We are a nation that was founded on religious freedom. How do we handle it when a religion, or a radical interpretation of a religion, behaves as a political organ rather than a religious one? It's a big, big topic for us and requires a lot of learning and examination. And the media is not helping. On the contrary, they are obfuscating and P-C-ing rather than analyzing and educating. Those of us who are plugged into certain websites have been learning about this. But the general public still doesn't get it -- they simply do not understand. Their very honorable instincts take them first to "protect" those that might be innocent victims of religious prejudice. It's all very complicated and how to even propose to deal with it hasn't even begun to be sorted out, except by the very few. And it's very late.

I don't know what McCain will be able to do or not. I hope his campaign comes up with a good plan, but who knows. The best chance I think is that Obama will just keep inadvertently revealing himself. Obama's political machine has a great deal of funding, is very powerful, and hasn't yet begun their attack. There are so many who have voluntarily given up their thinking abilities for a fantasy they refuse to give up no matter what. The depth of this was shown when they still voted for Obama even after learning about Rev. Wright's despicable ideology and Obama's 20 year connection with and support of him!

All we can do is hold on to the idea that should he be elected, he will not stay in office more than one term. In spite of his oratory skills, he will reveal himself through his actions, inactions and misjudgments; the public will not stand for it once they are faced with the reality of him and his ineptitude, and once they realize who he really is. The President isn't our whole government. There will be influences keeping him in check to a certain degree. We'll just have to pray that by that time our world doesn't look like Dr. Pipes' "American Intifada."
