WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday struck down the Bush administration’s ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information – an inflammatory policy that has bounced in and out of law for the past quarter-century.

Looks like President Hussein thinks America is made out of money or the stuff grows on trees.
Good one community unorganizer!

Obama: Quit Listening to Rush Limbaugh if You Want to Get Things Done

WASHINGTON — President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

My first thought is I hope we don’t get four years of this type of stuff, did the Rev Jeremiah Wrong I mean Wright write that? But I thought The One transcends all politics and race?
He is here to unite this country so we have been told, although I bet his cronies have very different ideas.

It’s a rhetorical question in accord with American liberal double standards, if a white president had a white preacher at his benediction and that white preacher was quoted as “praying”, “when white will not be asked to give back” “brown should stick around,” “yellow should be mellow,” “the red man should just get ahead, man” and “blacks should embrace what is right,” what would the reaction of the average American be?

Personally I would be appalled and as a Bible clinging gun toting white American I am appalled and now completely disenfranchised, irrespective of either statements truthfulness the office of the president is above that or should be above that rhetoric, the inauguration of the president is not the time or place for such partisan politics or race politics, it degrades the office.

And I guarantee that coming from a white preacher and a white president that just happen to be evil Republicans, the MSM would happily accuse them of really just wanting the gardener or maid to stick around, the Japanese to forget about internment camps that the evil Republicans invented, white Democrats like our VP Slow Joe should stop giving so much of their money to charity while Sarah Palin gives nothing and being against American Indians owning casinos in California.

No one color or creed has a monopoly on evil which comes in all shapes and one size that fits all.

We are all Americans, whether of Hispanic, Swedish, European, Israeli or other descent and thus equal before the law which is what separates the USA from the rest of the world, that is what unites us, not half-assed race baiting.

Charles throws Geert Wilders under the Bus

Charles wrote an email to Geert Wilders a while back asking him about his planned alliance with the Vlaams Belang. He hasn’t answered. Now with the Dutch charging him with hate speech, Charles kicks him.

Geert Wilders to Be Charged with Hate Speech in Netherlands

Wilders, however, has called for the Koran to be outlawed. In other words, Wilders wants to ban books with which he doesn’t agree. If there’s one thing we should have learned from history, it’s that book-banning never turns out well—and it’s anathema to the American ideals of free speech and free choice of religion.

This prosecution is disgusting and wrong, but it’s difficult to cast Wilders as an icon of free speech when he explicitly advocates taking away the rights of others.

Charles has now turned on Geert. All becausehe never recieved an answer to his email. This shows Charles isn’t serious about Jihad and is fake. But it gets better! Kilgore and Sharmuta have their say as well!

I’m also having a hard time being sympathetic if he’s going to run with neo-fascists and their sympathizers. But I guess that’s the price one pays for the company they keep.

But is agenda to ban the Quran and make Islam illegal is reprehensible. The laws used to prosecute him for free speech are equally awful. He would have a much better moral standing and would be a much better advocate for freedom of speech if he also advocated freedom for others.

Killgore’s Pro-Islamic colors are showing and Sharmuta is just following Charles. This is sick and pathetic. LGF is increasing isolated and irrelevant.
