I agree. And just a few weeks into his administration, people, even Liberals, like Jim Kramer, Rich Sintelli and Warren Buffet are saying uh, uh, something isn't right with the way he's leading our country.

Humbordt,

It's not about being silly, childish or disliking his middle name...it's the fact that he has it and it's a Muslim name that comes from his father, a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya. But it was Lolo Soetoro, Obama's stepfather who introduced him to Islam by enrolling him in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Yet, instead of being proud of his Kenyan heritage and family, it's something he evidently didn't want the public to know about. And the mainstream and print media gladly obliged by repressing info that would have given the American public more info on his background and character.  (In stark contrast, the media rushed to Alaska scouring around every town and village trying to find something negative or bad about Sarah Palin.)

Anyone remember how Obama's campaign went ballistic over Jerome Corsi's best seller, The Obama Nation? I recently read a review of it and evidently it has copious footnotes and thousands of facts about Obama's personality and character, his friends and mentors who influenced him in shaping his worldviews and who he owes his ascendency to political power.

The evidence comes from Obama's own words and his two books, Dreams from My Father (which some believe is ghost written by Bill Ayers) and The Audacity of Hope in which Obama writes that "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

The reviewer wrote that Obama's books reveal him as having the personality of a man.....who came to believe that race is the issue that trumps all else and must be used for the redistribution of power and wealth. Obama sought out relationships with the socialist-radical Saul Alinsky, a pair of terrorists, the unapologetic bomb-thrower Bill Ayers and his Weather Underground associate Bernardine Dohrn, the Communist poet Frank Marshall Davis, leftwing Muslim-supporting politicians in Kenya, the corrupt political fixer Tony Rezko, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright whose trademark preaching was laced with expletives of hate America and support of Louis Farrakhan.

Corsi's book quotes Obama's own words as he established his relationship with these radical characters and then, when they became embarrassments, progressively changed his responses in order to distance himself from his friends. Obama's disavowals are not persuasive.

My concern is the same as strategist and pollster, Mark Penn, who wrote that Obama lacks "American roots" and "is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values."

That he plans to release Al-Queda operatives from Gitmo is one more thing that's very heavy on my mind.

Not arguing any of that, but referring to him as B. Hussein Obama is childish, and any time it's brought up it makes the argument look petty. He didn't pick his middle name any more than I did (I hate my middle name, and don't tell anybody what it is unless they ask). His name doesn't worry me. His actions do.

clearly this is why people should leave commandment dispensing to the qualified. 

clearly you're misattributing this not committing chastity thing incorrectly.  it wasn't obama's daughters who were fornicating...it was the palin girl.  it also wasn't the obama girls who claimed abstinence was as realistic as your slanderous misrepresentation of what obama actually said vs what you're claiming he said--in other words, not realistic at all.

expanding or clarifying his position that comprehensive sex education resolves problems not addressed by "just say no" (which is, in fact, no education whatsoever), he said

"Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old.  am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information."

at no time did he say, suggest or imply anything at all like this:

how many "some" people?  can you name any who have any credibility?  

This is what I wrote:

KINGBEE POSTS:

No, Kingbee, it certainly wasn't a slanderous misrepresentation to say what I said.  

Obama stated, "I've got two daughters, 9 years old and 6 years old.  I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. 

True....And so in Obama's view, the Palin girl made a mistake, became pregnant and is being punished by keeping the baby. He said he wouldn't want that for his two girls should they make a mistake...where is the audacity to hope there?

IN MY WORLD, A  BABY IS NEITHER A MISTAKE NOR A PUNISHMENT...THEY ARE GIFTS AND MIRACLES FROM GOD.  

Of Obama's comments, Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition said

"Saying that single women could be 'punished with a baby,' is not only a slap in the face to every child born to a young mother, but it diminishes the great joy that children bring to their families regardless of the circumstances in which they were born."

"In America, we should be working to help young babies that are born in challenging situations and offering assistance and hope to their mothers.  We should not be condemning them by saying that somehow it has now become 'punishment' to have a child in this country".

by juxtaposing obama's actual words with your presumptive interpretation you have most definitely engaged in a deliberate misrepresentation.  in fact, obama didn't offer a solution to any problem except inadequate sex education.

(incidentally, you're the one who qualifies pregnancy as a problem requiring a solution.)

proof that you succeeded in misleading at least one person can be found in reply #15 in which the poster was directly responding to your obfuscation:

you too frequently play fast and loose with truth leading me--if no one else--to wonder whether you've instituted your own more elastic version of the commandment that originally prohibited bearing false witness.  sometthing along the lines of thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor unless said neighbor doesn't share your personal view of the world.

and yet the god of the old testament inflicted both pregnancies and abortions as punishment for sexual immorality did he not?

Just because you don't see a baby as a mistake or a punishment doesn't mean that everyone agrees with you.  To a young woman in high school who had plans on going to college it could be seen as a punishment if that child prevents them from going to college to pursue the career that they wanted.  In my wife's case a pregnancy could kill her, that is definitely a punishment.  It was my interpretation of Obama's actual comment that abortion should exist as an option for women, that doesn't mean anyone would be forced to have one.

KINGBEE POSTS:

In Obama's mindset, teaching the virtue of chastity or sexual abstinence until marriage only education is inadequate sex education. So, yes indeed, Obama offered the solution to the mistake problem, which is Doling out birth control devices and leading kids to abortion clinics if they make a mistake is part and parcel of comprehensive sex education.

Obama advocates that classroom sex educators teach vice... here's the birth control device and here's how to use it.... if you make a mistake, then (in Obama's word's ...instead of being punished with a baby), use Plan B, which is abortion.

Think what you will Kingbee.

On #6, my point is and has always been there are no "mistakes" when the virtue of chastity is taught and practiced.

Kingbee,

Cite the chapter (s) and verse (s) and we'll discuss.

Yes, but I'm not going to.

I'm trying really hard not to get pulled into the abortion debate once again but I feel it happening.

Plan B is NOT abortion.  RU 486 is the abortion pill.  Plan B is like a heavy dose of the birth control pill that will help to prevent conception, if you are already pregnant taking Plan B will NOT terminate the pregnancy.

How does one practice chastity in the case of rape?

Actually, I meant it in 2 ways....

In classroom sex ed, our children are taught about engaging in "safe sex", which is Plan A (use of birth control) and if that fails, put Plan B into effect....go to the nearest Planned Parenthood clinic and have an abortion.

EL-DUDERINO POSTS:

I disagree. Plan B does both...prevents contraception and kills the baby.

Here's an article dated back in 2006 when the FDA approved Plan B as a non-prescriptuve drug that explains it.

By Peter J. Smith

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 24, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today its approval of Plan B, the abortifacient “morning-after pill” as a non-prescription drug to anyone over 18. The move has caused an outcry from pro-life groups who say that the high hormones doses of progestin in Plan-B also cause the abortion of a conceived human embryo and leave women vulnerable to health risks.

Under the FDA’s rules, Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. will be allowed to distribute Plan-B on a dual prescription program that requires women over 18 to show proof of age, and minors to exhibit a doctor’s prescription. The company claims two Plan B pills prevent pregnancy once taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse.

“When used as directed, Plan B effectively and safely prevents pregnancy," the FDA claimed in a statement.

However, Associate Executive Director Dr. Gene Rudd of the Christian Medical Association, the nation's largest faith- based association of doctors, said in a press release that the FDA’s decision gives a “politically motivated definition of pregnancy” and “violates the crucial medical principle of informed consent”.

“Many women in America would not take it if they realized that it can have the effect of preventing a fertilized ovum--a living human embryo--from implanting in the womb and having a chance to be born, said Dr. Rudd.

Pro-life spokesmen have pointed out that not only does Plan-B act as an “emergency contraceptive” by preventing the release of an egg for fertilization, but that it causes the abortion of an already conceived human embryo by making the womb’s nourishing endometrium hostile to implantation.

In a recent press release, the president of Human Life International, Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, stated "President Bush's implied support for the abortion-causing drug Plan B is completely inconsistent with his recent veto of the embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) funding bill. What the president apparently fails to realize is that Plan B kills the same innocent unborn children that the ESCR process does."

Both the Christian Medical Association, an association of 17,000 doctors, and Concerned Women for America (CWA) have criticized the FDA’s absurd rationale in distributing Plan B without medical supervision, which requires medical oversight for lower doses of progestin (the hormone in birth control pills) in order to protect women from serious health complications such as blood clots and stroke.

CWA president Wendy Wright also criticized the FDA’s rules which make keeping Plan-B out of the hands of minors seem just as effective as preventing minors from receiving cigarettes.

“Any adult male who is having sex with a minor could walk into a pharmacy, buy the drug, and coax the girl into taking the pill,” said Concerned Women for America’s Wendy Wright. “Parents have the right to know their daughter’s medical needs and to support them in the process.  The FDA’s irresponsible action today takes those rights out of a parent’s hands and gives them to ill-intentioned perpetrators.” 

The decision to approve Plan-B now removes the major obstacles in the confirmation process of acting FDA commissioner Andrew C. von Eschenbach, whom Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) had vowed to stall pending approval of Plan-B.

The person doing the rape isn't practicing chasity. The victim of the rape can have been chaste before and after the rape.
