Fair and Balanced?

President Hussein (since he wants to bring out his Muslim roots, that what I will be calling him from now on) wants fair and balanced reporting which is why he is trying to get Congress to pass the Fairness Doctrine that would require all media outlets (well not all. Only those with conservative viewpoints) to have equal programming of opposing views. When asked on CNBC this past weekend if he thought the media was being fair to him, he said he could not agree with that because there is this one television network that you would be hard pressed to find anything good about him on. The reporter then identified it as Fox News. One? Only one who calls into question anything Hussein does? Out of all the media markets out there, only one dares to ask questions? Give me a break!

It was reported this morning that CBS is going to do a piece on Hussein's health care reform from the White House. No commercials will be allowed during it and absolutely no commercials with a differing opinion will be allowed before or after it. Fair and balanced? Sounds like an infomercial for Hussein's socialist agenda.

Like sheep and cattle being led to slaughter, so are the media and blind followers of Hussein.

Oh, I forgot. We are dealing with God Hussein and he knows all and wants only what is best for all the world. Well, if Hussein is God, I'll take hell any day!

Obama is Muslim

Obama is Muslim. There. I've said it. It's out. Let me back it up. Today Obama is flying into Saudi Arabia--a Muslim country, then to Egypt. Then home. No visit to Israel. No. He met with an Israeli official yesterday and reiterated his demands to stop building in the West Bank. This is what the Palestinians, who are Muslim, want. The last time he met the Saudi king, he bowed. A show of respect to someone above you. He considers the Saudi king above himself as U.S. President. He also released a statement that if you took into account all the American Muslims, the U.S. would be one of the largest Muslim nations in the world. Remember a few weeks ago he said that the U.S. is not a Christian nation? Now he is saying we are a Muslim nation, and he is head of that Muslim nation. He is battling and withdrawing support of Israel. In the U.S. you cannot bring up his Muslim heritage or use his middle name "Hussein". Yet when he went to Turkey, he was introduced as Barack Hussein Obama and then proceeded to identify himself as a Muslim by talking about growing up with a Muslim father, living in Muslim countries, and that he has many relatives that are Muslim.

He is reaching out to Iran in spite of its threats against Israel and increased pursuit of nuclear power. He even said this week that Iran may have some right to nuclear power and the U.S. embassies across the world are inviting Iranian diplomats to July 4th ceremonies!

Need more proof? How about the recent slaying of the abortion doctor. He released a statement condemning the killing and the person & groups who share the views of the killer. A few weeks ago, a young Harvard coed was murdered for being Jewish and the killer threatened violence against all Jews and synagogues. Any word from Obama on that? No. And she went to his school! How about the shooting last week at a military recruiting center in which a soldier was killed. The killer is a converted Muslim who had other targets on his computer and may be part of a group. Any word from Obama condemning this ? No! So, he condemns those who view abortion as morally wrong, but not the killing of Jews or killings by Muslims!!!

He may not practice it outwardly, but inwardly he is. The only religion he has stood up for since becoming President is Islam. He did not observe the National Day of prayer. He condemns those who are firm in Christian beliefs and he does not support or stand with Israel. He is Muslim--no ifs, ands, or buts.

Addendum: On 4 June 2009, Obama addressed Muslims from Cairo quoting scriptures from what he called "The Holy Qur'an"

Thursday, May 7, 2009

Yes, Obama. There is a God.

As I have (as well as many others) noted that when Obama was making his European apology tour tour for the U.S. he noted that the U.S. is not a Christian nation. He has also said that the U.S. must lead on important issues such as disarming nations of nuclear weapons and on global warming. Today he is showing the world that the U.S. is indeed not a "Christian nation" by not observing the National Day of Prayer. He is the first President since Congress voted for it and President Harry Truman signed it into law in 1952 not to observe it. He is truly leading by example, and is unfortunately leading this country down the road to damnation like the great cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as well as the great civilizations of Greece and Rome. We are turning away from God and all that He has done for this great nation, and are allying ourselves with evil. We are becoming friendly with the most evil nations of our day-Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and more; while we are alienating our allies such as Great Britain, Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Obama is walking a dangerous and deadly path. One that can only end with our destruction as a great nation.
Pray! Pray today like you have never prayed! Our fate rests with God and He is the only one who can save us from ourselves!
