Voting Barack Hussein Obama
By Allan J. Ashinoff on Mar 10, 2008 in Election, Politics
These days no one, especially New York Senator Hillary Clinton, can deny the charismatic magnitude of Democratic front runner Barack Obama. Watching him on television one cannot help but be drawn into the passion of his presentation. His commanding voice, reminiscent of WWE superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is a welcome relief after several years of the bumbling oratory of President George W. Bush. Americans, for a variety of reasons, appreciate this man’s polished presentation whether they like his politics or not. Many are so enraptured by his presence that they are willing to swear allegiance to this elections “change” candidate while ignoring the fact that Mr. Obama really isn’t saying much of anything at all.
Perhaps the most important issue of this age is America’s role in the war on terror. Those who wish to place Barack Obama in the White House suggest that he is in a unique position to mediate the war on terror because he was, for a time, influenced by Islam as a child. They contend that as president, Obama may, through his unique perspective of Islam, be able to finally devise a US foreign policy that will respect our enemies and put an end to the seemingly endless cycle of violence emanating from the Middle East. Detractors would profess that Barack Obama’s followers are consumed by hopelessness and fear, that they are drawn into Obama’s cult of personality. And still there are others who would condemn Barack Obama because he has abandoned the “Truth” and taken up the faith of the infidels. All of these views deserve thoughtful consideration but only one requires a degree of caution – Islam.
Comfortable in their ala carte society, Americans largely dismiss Islam as just another belief system. But to more than a billion people worldwide Islam, which literally translates to “submission” in English, is much more. To its believers Islam provides religious doctrine, societal law, and a strict code of personal conduct. The demands of fidelity imposed by Islam on its followers has compelled some fathers to strangle their daughters because they refuse obscure themselves by wearing a hajib, a traditional Muslim headscarf, in Western non-Muslim societies, while numerous others have detonated their children in marketplaces or on crowded busses as a kind of automatic entry fee to Islamic heaven. Yet Islam is still considered respectable in America’s blissfully naive multicultural mindset.
President Bush and many others constantly refer to Islam as a “religion is peace.” But this declaration is belied by those who dared to seriously question the world’s second largest religion. Just ask Salman Rushdie,Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Theo Van Gogh, or the cartoonist from the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Po about Islam’s tolerance, objectivity, or passivity. Those who question, criticize, or seek to change Islam from within find themselves either in perpetual hiding to avoid being murdered by a religious decree (called a Fatwa) or, in the case of Theo Van Gogh, murdered on a public street with witnesses.
The past fifty years is littered with instances of Islamic terrorism across the globe. The world has witnessed the execution of Israeli Olympians in Munich Germany, numerous embassy bombings in many nations, the Achille Louro hijacking, discotheque bombings in Germany, the Lockerbie airliner bombing, televised beheadings, and the murder of thousands of Americans in New York City’s World Trade Center. If any culture has demanded violent confrontation it is the culture of Islam.
There are precious few points to Obama’s campaign that one can identify outside of his unrelenting ability to point out that change is needed. One point that clearly stands out is his call to pull American troops from Iraq in 2009. To this his sheeple, pumped full of several years of fallacious DNC inspired fear and national self-loathing, bellow and faint without ever contemplating the destiny of docile, unquestioning sheep.
Decades before America retaliated for the murders of those in the World Trade Center in 2001 Islamic clerics vented their utter contempt for the American way of life in Mosques and schools in Saudi Arabia, in Somalia, and in Brooklyn, NY. Yet there are still many Americans who refuse to believe that the doctrines these Islamic holy men expound are anything more than rhetoric of a minority group within a generally peaceful and tolerant religion.
Osama bin Laden, a devout Sharia Muslim, expressed his desire to terrorize the United States and its people long before many in the United States government ever realized who he was or what he was fully capable of. Terror, in his estimation, is to be conducted against military personnel and civilians alike without differentiation. Al Qaeda (bin Laden’s followers) have been fed the idea that Americans, due to their love of life, despite their overwhelming firepower and numbers, do not have the tenacity to win a war against the methods that he and his followers employ. Repeatedly he teaches his minions that Americans will flee from battle if the carnage they inflict is too great, even if inflicted on a relative few. Sadly Osama bin Laden’s teachings have been reinforced by President Reagan’s withdrawal from Beirut in 1984, President Clinton’s half-hearted fiasco in Mogadishu in 1992, President Clinton’s desire to do nothing after numerous embassy bombings throughout the 1990’s, and the World Trade Center bombing in 1994. But it was only after the American public experienced terror in a very personal and unavoidable way on the morning of September 11th 2001 that she finally decided to retaliate.
Oddly enough Presidential front runner Barack Hussein Obama is seeking to once again to validate, embolden, and encourage the followers of Osama Bin Laden and other terrorist groups by removing our soldiers from a battlefield where we have never known defeat. Worse still hundreds of thousands of craven unthinking Americans are more than willing to allow Obama-mania to permit Americas enemies to survive another day, replenish their strength, and strategize again how best to harm the United States.
Osam…err… Obama in 2009, indeed. God help us.
always enjoy this site. data presented is pursuant to expert format.
please consider increment of various views and backgrounds from intelligent, traveled, and attractive mature people (f.e. the lady linked to 1988 textbook).
please consider research into war of the pacific, caribbean basin ‘excursions’ from approx. 1850 to late 20th century, and la violencia re ‘win or loss’ record. if memory serves one of or perhaps the first state to recognize the u.s.a. was located on the ‘barbary coast’ of africa.
it is hoped u.s.a. magnifies relationships with people of the continent of africa.

greetings: thank you for providing ‘remedy’ to entry.
consider studying book authored by a fellow named celso furtado (herein ‘cf’) translated by suzette macedo entitled ‘economic development of latin america – historical background and contemporary problems’.
book was published in various editions from years 1970 to 1985. understand cf was a student of milton friedman (”uncle milt”).
understand undersigned is liberal, non-usa-vet, univ. educated, and loves to engage with economists. was a student of a stony-brook educated economist named emad mohite (”em”). suffice to say em and uncle milt were as cool in a debate as your sixty year old ancestors (related by marriage or birth).
hopefully readers can appreciate positions advocated by uncle milt. should recollection fail consider reading book authored by eamonn butler entitled ‘milton friedman a guide to his economic thought’.
concepts intended to be understood in the above books were suggested to this ‘logger’ by u.s.a. vets, u.s.a. instructors (economists, accountants, or finance), former law enforcement officials – a certain former interim county attorney that retired from the u.s.m.c. as a marine corp. captain in the late 1960s
it is known economic analysis is based on a complex system. the most complex and largest economic system may be lodged on an unaggregated basis in the u.s.a.
understand host of site is like me a student and finds stimulating an economist who argues simultaneously – the war on drugs, world wide war on terror, or other ‘numerically altering goals’ may fail in the future.
suffice to say viewing world in diplomatic, tactical, or strategic senses it is hoped and know the system takes time to produce results the following is considered: (1) reinstate ‘good neighbor’ policies from the 1940s.
2) ignore transactional items (forward or reverse triangular mergers or dispositions legalise) and finance incongruity with other nation states on a per capita basis the measure of income to disbursement to improve the position of people. given items faced humanity is anyone entitled to earn u.s.d. $10M per month?
(3) recall pursuant to r.m. keynes ‘in the long run all are dead’. pursuant to the forgoing read information from reputable economists and consider an increment of tempo to rehabilite areas devastated by ‘rita’ and ‘katrina’ and a decrement of activities which can help finance ’short term’ remedies or activities which accelerate correction of currently outlier behaviors (f.e. one owns 140 new or antique luxury high end, high consumption motor vehicles and pays ‘regular’ registration fees per annum).
(4) it is believed when normal people analyze and pull together, we will expire and leave the earth in a position better than it was given at birth – i.e. progress defined.
read, analyze, have fun, take care, and be safe.
undersigned,

greetings: vaguely recall george h.w. bush debating fellow in a chicken suite on television refuting fact he was a debate chicken via 1992 federal executive election.
via few days passed current GOP federal executive nominee after ‘agreeing’ to debate friday, indicating suspension.
tough campaign fecal matter GOP agreement breacher. the campaign agreed to the scheduled debate. pursuant to agreement, honor scheduled debate agreement despite fact GOP nominee was a major focus of the Keating Five federal tax payer financial debacle approx. twenty years prior.
on sober side a back dated (due to service of process) the racketeer influenced corrupt organization (”rico”) warrant customarily opens as follows: effective (date of warrant issue) weeks ago passport number XXXX (it is always passport number held by the defendant) was suspended. pursuant to date of warrant the following named/titled account authorities in name of defendant or in entities controlled by defendant are in suspense: entity and account numbers are listed…..
suffice to say during forgoing weeks due to ‘credit contraction,’ market lack of global market mark to market discipline, and action by responsible entities, can one imagine that numerous ‘legacy entitled’ publiclly traded executives were served?
indicated early on due to series of acts, modern GOP reflect prototypical red-neck, white sock, blue ribbon beer individuals. nomination of running mates and current ‘chicken’ despite agreement schedule places a cap-stone on early indications.
on sober side if serving RICO warrant, would advise – ‘pack plenty of K-Y to service destination cohorts’.
take care, have fun, vote, and be safe.

greetings: recent immigrant reflected the following items: estimated expense of finance bailout advocated by dicky and W is $3.6K per annum. immigrant indicated if top compensated 300 execs. of fortune 50 were assessed .4, the balance to bail out us finance system is $0.00.
suffice to indicate bailout reflects the following story: one earning $1 million weekly wrecks their new 360 ferrari spyder driving while impaired. due to the collision, driver whines and claims ‘life is not fair.’ shortly thereafter driver demands the us treasury purchase a replacement ferrari.
immigrant indicated same balance assessed the top dogs is sufficient to finance health-care for one quarter of children lacking health insurance in the usa. way to go GOP leaders.
forgoing wisdom of immigrant reflects why on a gov’t accountancy standards board, social, and financial basis, ike and congress earned the labels sophisticated and mature during the decade of 1950s.
it is hoped november 2008 marks expiration of the tired, dilapidated, illogical, systemic intelligence misrepresented, and ultimate end of jim-bob-billy-buckists.
on lighter sides if one expects service of RICO proceedings, pack plenty of K-Y to service cohorts.
