From just a few weeks before the 2008 Election...Why didn't the rest of America pay attention? This guy got it right!...

Barack Obama

A Clear and Present Danger

By Jim O'Neill Tuesday, October 14, 2008

We may soon see a “clear and present danger” to the United States, become elected President of the United States.

Strange days, indeed.

Merriam Webster’s Dictionary of Law defines a “clear and present danger” as being “a risk or threat to safety or other public interests that is serious and imminent.” You may be sure that Barack Obama’s agenda poses a serious and imminent threat to the United States.

Before I explain that charge, let me make a couple of facts very clear: I am not a right-wing extremist, nor am I a racist. I don’t have much patience for left or right extremism, and I find racism of any type; moronic and evil.

I have no axe to grind with moderate Democrats. I find some of their ideas sound, and worth looking into. I’m a Republican, not because I think Republicans have a monopoly on the truth, but because I identify more strongly, more often, with the Republican viewpoint.

I have no interest whatsoever in slamming Obama because he’s a Democrat, or black, or liberal. I do believe he’s a serious threat to the United States, however—a threat of historic proportions, and potentially catastrophic consequences.

While the media pundits have been parsing statements made in the Presidential Debates, and discussing “issues,” Obama has been steadily positioning himself to destroy the United States as we know it. Hiding in plain sight; this trojan horse for Marxist Socialism, Islamic Extremism, and Black Racism is now poised to enter the White House.

How many votes do you think Obama would get running on the “Marxist/Islamic/Black Panther” ticket? He’s not stupid, you know.

Behind Obama’s facade of “liberal Democrat” is a sly, intelligent, charismatic, dishonest, and implacable enemy of a free, democratic, capitalistic, and powerful United States of America.

The above paragraph is not politically driven hyperbole. Let’s look at some of the facts. Because of the large number of areas of concern surrounding Obama, I will list only some of the more troubling areas. Every one of these areas is deeply disquieting, and should disqualify Obama from becoming POTUS.

Honesty: Obama lies like it’s an Olympic event. Yes, I realize that all politicians lie at times, but Obama has raised the bar so high, that even Bill Clinton is probably in awe. Obama has never met a fact he couldn’t obfuscate; an attack he couldn’t sidestep, or a truth he couldn’t twist. This guy is more slippery than an eel in a vat of K-YJelly.

He lies, and lies to cover his lies, with such speed, style, and savoir faire that I freely admit, I’m impressed. I’m concerned, angry, and distrustful—but impressed.

Obama’s undeniably a world-class fibber, but do we really want a President with an almost supernatural flair for mendacity?

For an interesting look at some of Obama’s lies, check out: American Thinker: or Audacity of Deception & Hypocrisy:

ACORN: The “Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now” is a government funded, ballot-box stuffing, front for the Far Left. Their modus operandi revolves around radical activism which includes, but is not limited to, threat and intimidation.

Obama has worked for, helped organize, and legally defended ACORN. He’s in ACORN up to his neck, and ACORN is committed to destroying capitalism from within. Again, that is not hyperbole, but simply the truth.

A strong case has been made that ACORN is one of the key instigators of the current financial chaos. ACORN cajoled and threatened banks into issuing loans to unqualified people – i.e. subprime loans. Banks were intimidated into making loans that no sane financial institution would ever issue. Destruction from within.

Look at what a mockery ACORN is currently making of the election process. If Obama wins, this may well be the last free election the U.S. ever holds. He’s not even President, and look at what ACORN’s doing. Imagine what they’ll do with Obama as President, (and Nancy Pelosi leading a Democrat controlled Congress). Please don’t dismiss this as overblown rhetoric – investigate ACORN with an unbiased eye, and see what conclusions you come to. You might start with Stanley Kurtz’s article “Inside Obama’s ACORN.”

Racism: Black Liberation Theology (BLT) got off the ground with the publication of Reverend James Cone’s book “Black Theology and Black Power” in 1969. BLT is a complex issue, but one may be forgiven for feeling that the following quote by Cone is a tad racist: “If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community.”

If you check out Black Liberation Theology on the Internet you’ll find a wealth of apologia. I haven’t seen such “bobbing and weaving” since the last Sugar Ray Leonard fight.

My favorite “bob and weave” comes from Dwight Hopkins, a professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Hopkins defends BLT reverend “God Damn America” Wright, by saying that the word “damn” in the original Hebrew “means a sacred condemnation by God to a wayward nation who has strayed from issues of justice, strayed from issues of peace, strayed from issues of reconciliation.”

OK, then—God damn all the egomaniacal demagogues, from Bin Laden to Wright, who twist, pervert, and debase spirituality, so that they can further their own sick, intolerant, hate-filled agendas. I mean that, of course, in the ancient Hebrew sense.

The point here, is that Obama was married by a Black Liberation reverend (Jeremiah Wright), and had his children baptized by Wright, and attended services led by Wright for twenty years. To hear Obama tell it, every service of Wright’s he attended, consisted of holding hands and singing Kumbaya. I don’t think so. I think that hearing twenty years of sermons espousing black racism and anti-American sentiment would leave an indelible mark on anyone.

Rabid racist and “Nation of Islam” leader, Louis Farrakhan, has called Obama “The Messiah.” Here are some quotes of Farrakhan’s worth pondering: “Barack has captured the youth…That’s a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.”

“We must wake up to the time and what must be done in such a time. It is not a time for integration; it is a time for us to separate from our former slave-masters and their children and go for self, do for self, and build a Nation under The Guidance of Almighty God.”

“I want you to keep your eyes on the weather. Allah is going to demonstrate that there is another Power inside America and throughout the world other than your power, which will stop you from killing our people wholesale. If this Executive Decision is carried forth, it will mean the destruction of the United States of America.” [Note: by “Executive Decision” Farrakhan is refering to bombing Iran].

Don’t dismiss these quotes as some crackpot’s ranting. On multiple levels, this is really dangerous stuff— “The One,” “The Chosen One,” “The Messiah.” Do you really want a demigod Messiah in the White House?

Terrorism: The United States of America is currently involved in a global war with Islamic terrorists. Ring a bell with anybody?

Obama has, I believe, carried on a clandestine relationship with unrepentant terrorist Bill “just a guy in the neighborhood” Ayers. Obama’s wife worked at the same law firm as Ayer’s wife, Bernadine “just a gal in the neighborhood” Dohrn. Dohrn herself is no slouch when it comes to terrorism. Do you think it’s a coincidence that there’s a connection between these four?

Raila Odinga, Kenya’s Prime Minister, is a radical Marxist, and militant Muslim; he also belongs to the same tribe (Luo) as Obama’s late Muslim father. Obama has conferred with Odinga in person, by phone, and by e-mail. Odinga claims to be Obama’s cousin. Obama denies it, and of course I believe Obama.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree: In April of 2006, Obama’s step-grandmother told the New York Times “I am a strong believer in the Islamic faith.” In March of 2008 she told USA Today that she was a devout Christian. What a convenient conversion. Then again, everyone knows you can’t trust the Times.

Obama’s stepfather was a Muslim, as is Obama’s half-brother Obongo (Roy) Obama. Obama’s family tree is chock full of members of the Islamic faith. There’s, of course, nothing wrong with that; I honestly think Islam is at heart a beautiful religion. But we’re not at war with Islam; we’re at war with rabid fringe elements that hide their all too worldly hatreds under a cloak of religion.

I just don’t think it’s real smart to have a Commander in Chief with such myriad, close ties to Islam and unrepentant terrorists, when we’re in the middle of a war with Islamic terrorists. Call me peculiar.

The biased liberal media will not investigate Obama. A hard-hitting, in-depth liberal media “investigation” would sound something like this:

Lberal Media: “Excuse us sir, but uh, well there are rumors that you have lied.
“Are these accusations true?”
Obama: “Of course not.”
Liberal Media: “That’s what we thought—sorry to bother you.”
Obama: “No problem.”

No problem, indeed. The liberal press will give Obama a “free pass” on these issues, until it is too late. In the meantime, “Truth squads” will intimidate; liberal comedians will ridicule; leftist pundits will dismiss, and Obama will charm.

It’s up to readers such as you, to get the truth circulating among the general public. A wide and rapid dispersal of the truth about Obama is urgently needed. Time is running out.

This is not some sideline distraction from the main issue. This IS the main issue, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Any magician will tell you that the key to a successful trick is misdirection. The “trick” we’re dealing with here, is Obama getting into the White House. Think about it.

Maybe I’m wrong; maybe Obama is simply some hapless, bad judge of character; with an unfortunate proclivity for stumbling into radical extremists. But I wouldn’t bet my country on it.
