Is Obama an illegal alien?

U.S. CONSTITUTION
As Obama stonewalls on uncertified birth certificate, official doubts mount
On this claimed copy of Obama's birth certificate, notice that the certificate number has been blacked out, there is no authenticating signature, there is no embossed seal and there are no folds.
Amy Hollyfield of the St. Petersburg Times, and a reporter for the paper's "Politifact" blog, said that she has been seeking the birth certificate "for months."
She was frustrated: "Hawaii birth certificates aren't public record. Only family members can request copies, so when the campaign declined to give us one, we were stalled." Finally, the campaign released the image (resembling the one at the top of this article).
Hollyfield e-mailed it to the Hawaii Department of Health, which maintains such records, to ask if it was real.
"It's a valid Hawaii state birth certificate," spokesman Janice Okubo told us.
Then the firestorm started. Israel Insider contacted Okubo several days. She could not refer to Obama's specific case, she said, because no one but an authorized family member can do so. But she did confirm that a valid "certification of live birth" would need to have an embossed seal and signature and that it can only be printed and mailed. There is no such thing as an electronic only certification.
On this legitimate birth certificate notice that the certificate number can be clearly read, there is an authenticating signature on the back of the certificate which clearly shows through to the front, there is an embossed seal, again on the back but clearly visible from the front and there are folds.
It's clearly Photoshopped and a wholesale fraud."

MAN-MADE climate change

The second photo is of Al Gore's mansion which uses as much energy as a small city. Yet he wants to abolish the internal combusion engine and put us on bicycles while he cruises around in one of his SUVs and uses a private jet.
The last photo is of Al Gore's big, fat mouth.

Now, which two of the three, the sun, Al Gore's mansion or Al Gore's mouth, causes the most MAN-MADE global warming?

Another Obama SCANDAL
Lobbyists will be involved in writing the Democratic platform under Barack Obama , who has campaigned against special interest influence in Washington and bashed his rivals for accepting contributions from paid lobbyists.
Two members of the Democratic Party’s platform drafting committee, Thea Lee of the AFL-CIO and Donna Harris-Aiken of the National Education Association, are registered lobbyists. The panelists, who will submit their plan to the party’s full platform committee for ratification next month, were announced Tuesday in a joint release from the Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign.
The principal author of the platform draft is Karen Kornbluh, an aide in Obama’s Senate office who is married to telecommunications lobbyist Jim Halpert. Halpert has lobbied for Time Warner, Amazon, Comcast, eBay, Experian and two electronic commerce consortia in recent years, according to records filed with the House of Representatives."
Communist Party backs B. Hussein Obama
Meanwhile, admitted CPUSA member Alan Maki, writing on the official Barack Obama website, in the “community blogs” section under an “Obama 08” banner, has mentioned the unmentionable. That is the role of CPUSA member Frank Marshall Davis in mentoring Obama during his formative high school years in Hawaii.
Although fine print at the bottom of the page says that “Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign,” the information provided by Maki is deadly confirmation that a hard-core CPUSA member played a key role in helping raise Obama. It is a story that most media, including some “conservative” news outlets, have shied away from."

A 4th of July salute to our American heroes

CARROLL GANT BIGGS - AN AMERICAN HERO
Americans lost a hero in April of 2003 when Lt. Col. Carroll G. Biggs, USAF (Retired), died in Ruston, Louisiana.
Biggs was a Second Lieutenant in the 306th Bomb Group, 369th Squadron, 8th Army, serving in the European Theater of Operations out of Therleigh, England in 1944.
He was flying his seventh combat mission into Germany as pilot of a B-17 bomber when tragedy struck. Not only was his plane shot down by German fighters, but he and most of his 10-man crew were taken prisoner by the Germans.
Biggs' parachute became entangled in pine trees and he hung there until a German farmer with a shotgun and his wife, who was armed with a pitchfork, captured him. He was turned over to German troops and his experience as a prisoner of war began.
For the most part Biggs didn't talk about his experiences as a POW, his daughter, Marion Biggs McCann said.
"Years went by before he talked about it. I was married with children before he shared anything with me." she said. "He just didn't like to talk about what happened - he saw so many bad things."
She recalled for me one major life changing incident being that of a death march he was on where American POWs and German civilians were being forced to relocate by German SS troops.
"If the women, children and old people couldn't keep up, the German troops would pull them to the side of the road and shoot them in cold blood," McCann said. "He was terrified those horrible atrocities of war he witnessed would destroy his ability to feel compassion."
When the family dog died, Biggs buried the animal in the rain as tears streamed down his face. He later told his daughter he was sad over losing the dog but grateful to learn through the death of a pet that he hadn't lost his compassion.
He was held as a POW in Stalag Luft III for a year and five days until he and some other prisoners were liberated by Gen. George S. Patton's 3rd Army group on April 29, 1945.
FROM THE EDITOR
Then came 1945 and my next memory was of my mother, sitting in front of her make-up mirror, brushing her auburn hair, crying. The radio was tuned to WJJD in Chicago and Ernest Tubbs' rendition of "Walking the Floor Over You" was playing.
"Why are you crying," I asked.
"Because Uncle Harold is dead," she said. "He was killed on Okinawa."
Bits and pieces of my mother's memories of her brother came out over the years - his freckles - his spontaneous good humor - his winning the harmonica competition in Fremont, Michigan - his going to advanced infantry training - his burial in Hawaii.
The Battle of Okinawa, also known as Operation Iceberg, was fought on the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa and was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The 82 day battle lasted from late March through June 1945. The battle has been referred to as the "Typhoon of Steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bofu ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of gunfire involved, and sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island.
The battle has one of the highest casualties: the Japanese lost over 90,000 troops, and the Allies (mostly United States) suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, with over 12,000 killed in action. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed, wounded or attempted suicide.
Then as fate would have it, I found myself on Okinawa almost 20 years later. I was in the Navy and while on liberty I was drinking a beer in a bar in Naha, Okinawa. Alongside me was a real hard-case. Marines and sailors are traditional opponents, but this particular sergeant, seemed sad, almost pensive.
So, I bought him a beer. We sized each other up and apparently decided a fist-fight would be about even, so we struck up a conversation.
"Have you been to the beach yet?" he asked.
"Nope," I replied. "I'm going tomorrow."
"Then let's go together," Sarge said. A couple of beers later I asked why he wanted to visit "the beach."
"Because my dad was killed in the Okinawa invasion," he said. "Why do you want to go?"
"Because my Uncle Harold was killed in the invasion," I said.
The next morning we stood silently, shoulder to shoulder, a Marine and a sailor, tears streaming down our cheeks, on a hill overlooking the beach that claimed so many American lives including his dad and my uncle. We could still see the horrible artifacts of war - the sunken landing craft, the tanks that never fired a shot. We were on hallowed ground - ground that our loved ones gave their lives for - and we were humbled beyond words.
So, yeah, enjoy your barbeque and fireworks this 4th of July!! When the fireworks light up the skies, let your heart remember our patriots who sacrificed so much to give us our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, our freedom and our liberty.
Please Lord, know that we thank You for how You continue to bless Sarge's dad, Carroll Biggs and my Uncle Harold. We know they are with You and they are guarding the streets of heaven, because they've already been through hell.
READER COMMENT
Anyhow....the article is perfect. Damn I love you for honoring my Dad....my whole family needs some real healing and this will be good medicine --and such an honor for my Dad to be in a column with the likes of Uncle Harold and Sarge's Dad....bye for now.

Obama stonewalls on authenticity of birth certificate

Barack Obama has claimed in writing to have a valid printed document: In the first chapter of his book Dreams From My Father, describing his origins, he wrote about finding a local Hawaiian newspaper article about his Kenyan father: 'I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school.'
So where is that birth certificate? It got lost? The dog ate it? No matter. Barack Obama or an immediate family member can plunk down $10 ($11.50 if he orders online) and have Hawaii mail a certified document to him within a week or two. But more than two weeks have passed since the Obama campaign adopted the suspect, uncertified image of a purported birth document published by a left-wing blog Daily Kos, and nothing certified and nothing on paper has since has been forthcoming. Nor has there been any official comment about the issue from the campaign. They may cling to the hope -- however audacious -- that the one issue that could disqualify their man constitutionally from gaining the presidency will just go away."

Can everyone say impeach the “supremes?
Five of the current justices have violated that oath and NEED to be impeached and removed from office. The removal is also provided for in the Constitution which says, in part: “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour… “
Forget their life-time appointments – THEY CAN AND SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.
Last week, by a narrow 5-4 ruling, the court upheld a constitutional provision written in the Second Amendment that says private citizens (the real militia) have the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. The vote should have been 9-0 to uphold the Constitution.
As for the other five, they would be of more use as compost in my garden. My soil has a lot of clay and the manure would be helpful. They need to be impeached and removed from office.

Former U.S. military officers helping train Hamas in war against Israel
GAZA CITY — U.S. volunteers with military backgrounds have been recruited to help train the new Hamas army in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian sources said one of the Americans was former U.S. Army captain Fares Al Ashi, Middle East Newsline reported.
"This information is important for the youth," Al Ashi said during a briefing to visiting journalists in Gaza City.
The sources said Al Ashi, a specialist in explosives and weapons, had been trained in South Carolina during his years with the U.S. military.

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims!
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics or blow themselves up in German restaurants.
There is NOT one single Jew that has destroyed a church.
There is NOT a single Jew that protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Obama hates "whitey"
"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela." Quote by B. Hussein Obama from: Dreams of My Father
From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
From Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race."
EDITOR'S COMMENT: Let's see if I have this right. B. Hussein Obama calls himself a 'UNITER' yet harbors animosity against the white race. He sounds more like a racist bigot than Archie Bunker.
From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."
From Dreams of My Father: "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

How many rights are DemocRATS willing to forfeit?
The right to vote – the right to have our votes count – is the fundamental bedrock of our Constitutional Republic. It is through this fundamental right, this Constitutional Right, that We the People affect our control over government. Through our ballot choices we select delegates to the Electoral College who represent our amassed votes. These delegates, in turn, vote for the President of the United States. This process serves as a safeguard against mob rule and the bad choices to which emotionalism can lead. The Framers were brilliant in this respect."

B. Hussein Obama surrounds himself with anti-Israeli 'friends'
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Thursday promised an audience in a Jewish synagogue an 'unshakable commitment' to Israel if he is elected. Obama also asked the crowd not be put off by his 'funny name' and said that it was equivalent to the Hebrew 'Baruch.' He denied that he was raised as a Muslim, brushing aside his many anti-Israel friends:
'There is not a single trace of me ever being anything more than a friend of Israel and a friend of the Jewish people,' Obama said, warning the crowd not to believe fliers and e-mails that suggested otherwise. 'Judge me by what I say and what I've done. Don't judge me because I've got a funny name. Don't judge me because I'm African-American.'
But Aaron Klein, the Jerusalem bureau chief of World Net Daily, points out that Obama's association with Khalidi, go far, far beyond a 'conversation.' Khalidi's deep personal ties to Obama were first exposed by WND in February in a widely cited article. According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the Democratic presidential hopeful befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university, that the two families dined together a number of times, and that the Obamas even babysat the Khalidi children. Khalidi in 2000 held a successful fundraiser for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives and an anti-Israel Arab group, the Arab American Action Network -- AAAN -- run by Khalidi's wife, Mona, received subtantial funding -- $75,000 over two years -- from a Chicago nonprofit, the Woods Fund, for which Obama served as a paid board member in both years.

Afghan terrorists 'on brink of defeat'
The new 'precise, surgical' tactics have killed scores of insurgent leaders and made it extremely difficult for Pakistan-based Taliban leaders to prosecute the campaign, according to Brig Mark Carleton-Smith.
In the past two years an estimated 7,000 Taliban have been killed, the majority in southern and eastern Afghanistan. But it is the 'very effective targeted decapitation operations' that have removed 'several echelons of commanders'."

B. Hussein Obama on gun control
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
To my way of thinking, the sticking points of the Amendment are "well regulated militia" and "the right of the people."
But the key point is "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."
I will delve into this later in greater detail, but to our Founding Fathers, the militia was virtually anyone capable of shooting a gun, not a "national guard" as anti-Constitution hacks would have us believe.
The real purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to allow free men, the citizens of their individual states, to oppose and hopefully overthrow, a despotic, tyrannical central government.
To me, gun control means I have aimed well.
Unfortunately, many who would aspire to lead us have thrown the Constitution, and the Amendments, into the trash. Click the link below to see how your favorite traitor feels and votes.

The politically correct rules to fight B. Hussein Obama
He can’t be called a ‘liberal’ (’the same names and labels they pin on everyone,’ as Obama puts it); his toughness on the war on terror can’t be questioned (’attempts to play on our fears’); his extreme positions on social issues can’t be exposed (’the same efforts to distract us from the issues that affect our lives’ and ‘turn us against each other’); and his Chicago background too is off-limits (’pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy’). Besides that, it should be a freewheeling and spirited campaign.” —Rich Lowry
“We pick presidents for their judgment and values. Anything that gives us a clue as to what those might be is not only fair game, it is the game.” —Jonah Goldberg
B. Hussein Obama's Muslim childhood
Jewish World Review April 29, 2008
Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood
By Daniel Pipes
As Barack Obama's candidacy comes under increasing scrutiny, his account of his religious upbringing deserves careful attention for what it tells us about the candidate's integrity.
Obama asserted in December, "I've always been a Christian," and he has adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. "The only connection I've had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father's side came from that country [Kenya]. But I've never practiced Islam." In February, he claimed: "I have never been a Muslim. … other than my name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for 4 years when I was a child [Indonesia, 1967-71] I have very little connection to the Islamic religion."
"Always" and "never" leave little room for equivocation. But many biographical facts, culled mainly from the American press, suggest that, when growing up, the Democratic candidate for president both saw himself and was seen as a Muslim.
Obama's Indonesian family:
His stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, was also a Muslim. In fact, as Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that "All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims."
The Catholic school:
Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name 'Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. … Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he "was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended." Haroon Siddiqui of the Toronto Star visited the Jakarta public school Obama attended and found that "Three of his teachers have said he was enrolled as a Muslim." Although Siddiqui cautions that "With the school records missing, eaten by bugs, one has to rely on people's shifting memories," he cites only one retired teacher, Tine Hahiyari, retracting her earlier certainty about Obama's being registered as a Muslim.
In his autobiography, Dreams of My Father, Obama relates how he got into trouble for making faces during Koranic studies, thereby revealing he was a Muslim, for Indonesian students in his day attended religious classes according to their faith. Indeed, Obama still retains knowledge from that class: Nicholas D. Kristof of the New York Times, reports that Obama "recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them [to Kristof] with a first-rate accent."
Obama's half-sister recalled that the family attended the mosque "for big communal events." Watson learned from childhood friends that "Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque." Barker found that "Obama occasionally followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers." One Indonesia friend, Zulfin Adi, states that Obama "was Muslim. He went to the mosque. I remember him wearing a sarong" (a garment associated with Muslims).
Obama himself says that while living in Indonesia, a Muslim country, he "didn't practice [Islam]," implicitly acknowledging a Muslim identity. Indonesians differ in their memories of him. One, Rony Amir, describes Obama as "previously quite religious in Islam."
Obama's having been born and raised a Muslim and having left the faith to become a Christian make him neither more nor less qualified to become president of the United States. But if he was born and raised a Muslim and is now hiding that fact, this points to a major deceit, a fundamental misrepresentation about himself that has profound implications about his character and his suitability as president.
With B. Hussein Obama, it's the Communism, stupid
April 23, 2008
Obama admitted to exchanging ideas with Ayers on an irregular basis but did not say what those ideas were.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to deflect a question about his relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers by saying that he “engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8-years-old” and that he was now a professor and a neighbor. The real issue is whether Obama shares Ayers’ communist views. Obama admitted to exchanging ideas with Ayers on an irregular basis but did not say what those ideas were. But we know that Ayers, rather than just being a 1960s “radical,” was a member of a Marxist-Leninist communist group.
The Weather Underground, or Weathermen, wasn’t just home-grown and domestic in nature, although it had evolved from the so-called Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which laid siege to college campuses and tried to take over administration buildings. Their openly proclaimed goal was world communism and they had links to hostile foreign powers.
“We’re revolutionary communists,” Ayers himself said in 1969.
The FBI said that the Weather Underground had more contacts abroad than the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA.
Which brings up another so far unmentionable aspect of Obama’s background―the role of his childhood mentor, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis. This is the hard-core Soviet apologist who filled Obama’s head full of anti-American thoughts at a tender age.
About Ayers, Obama said that he’s not somebody he exchanges ideas with “on a regular basis.” What ideas? And does that mean he communicates with him on an occasional basis? We need more questions and answers.
But in a posting on the far-left Huffington Post website, Ayers’ brother, Rick Ayers, accused Senator Hillary Clinton of McCarthyism for daring to comment on Obama’s ties to this communist terrorist when the subject came up in the April 16 Democratic presidential debate. Such a charge of “McCarthyism” is designed to intimidate not only Clinton but the media.
Does the phony charge of “McCarthyism” prevent the media from exploring the more critical issue of Frank Marshall Davis’s influence on Obama?
The False Veneer
Obama has been clever to appear bipartisan and moderate, despite a very liberal voting record. He let his guard down in a big way when he not only endorsed but sponsored the Global Poverty Act, funneling a massive amount of foreign aid (by one informed estimate $845 billion) to Africa and the rest of the world, perhaps as partial reparations for slavery. It is curious that Obama doesn’t talk about this bill, which is on the verge of Senate passage, and it is strange that the major media don’t mention it, either. It is a potential budget buster that sheds light on Obama’s worldview.
The “exchange” of views with Ayers and others of his ilk may also shed light on what Obama might do in other areas, such as the critical field of education, where the federal government has assumed a larger role. It turns out that Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, another former communist terrorist, are now specializing in the education and the raising of young people. They even have a book coming out on the subject.
Obama himself seems to have some strange ideas on child-rearing, having brought his young children to hear Sunday sermons from a pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who has exhibited anti-American and anti-white tendencies and sentiments.
The Foreign Connection
For his part, Ayers wasn’t just a terrorist; he was a communist terrorist aligned with and manipulated by Moscow’s communist apparatus, operating through Cuba, against the United States. Many members of the group traveled to Cuba, sometimes to meet with the Vietnamese communists, and others went directly to Hanoi, North Vietnam. One of their stated objectives was to prevent the U.S. from stopping a communist takeover of Vietnam. They succeeded, with the acquiescence of a liberal Congress, which cut off U.S. aid to the South Vietnamese government, and more than 58,000 American soldiers died in vain.
Senator John McCain was an American prisoner of war being tortured by the North Vietnamese communists while Ayers and his comrades were giving aid and comfort to McCain’s torturers.
The FBI was desperate to apprehend Ayers and his comrades because they were operating with foreign support and direction and the dozens of bombings they carried out between 1969 and 1975 did an estimated $100 million in damage. A policeman had been killed in San Francisco by a bomb planted by the Weather Underground at a police station. Seven others were injured. Eight were injured in the Weather Underground bombing of the New York City police department. Fifty-nine policemen were injured in a riot the Weather Underground promoted in Chicago.
If anything, ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos was too timid in his questioning of Obama during the April 16 debate. Here’s how Stephanopoulos put it:
A gentleman named William Ayers, he was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings. He’s never apologized for that. And in fact, on 9/11, he was quoted in the New York Times, saying, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.’ An early organizing meeting for your state senate campaign was held at his house and your campaign has said you were ‘friendly.’ Can you explain that relationship for the voters and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?”
A “gentleman” named Bill Ayers? The only reason he’s not in prison today is because the FBI employed allegedly illegal break-ins as part of their search for members of the group. FBI officials thought the break-ins were justified on national security grounds but terrorist lawyers would have had any charges against them thrown out.
Some of the terrorists, of course, did go to prison. Kathy Boudin went to prison for her involvement in an October 20, 1981, armed terrorist assault that left Nyack, New York Police Sgt. Edward O’Grady, Patrolman Waverly Brown and Brinks guard Peter Paige dead. A website, memorial and scholarship have been created in their honor.
David Gilbert also went to prison for his role in that assault. He co-authored the SDS booklet, “U.S. Imperialism,” whose first page includes a quote from the Communist Manifesto. He wrote the book, No Surrender: Writings from an anti-imperialist political prisoner, which includes an endorsement on the back cover from Ward Churchill, the disgraced college professor who achieved notoriety for comparing 9/11 victims to Nazis.
Other titles from the “SDS lit list” of June of 1969 included, Which Side Are You On? US History in Perspective, Cuba vs U.S Imperialism, and Cultural Revolution in China. SDS literature regularly referred to police as “pigs.”
Hillary Clinton, during the debate in which the subject of Ayers came up, meekly noted that Obama “served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.” Notice how Senator Clinton referred to “Mr. Ayers,” after Stephanopoulos had called him a “gentleman.”
In rebuttal, Obama noted that “President Clinton pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground, which I think is a slightly more significant act than me serving on a board with somebody for actions that he did 40 years ago.”
So both of them have something to answer for. And so does George Soros.
The Soros Connection
One of the terrorists pardoned by Clinton was Linda Evans, who became a “Soros Justice Fellow,” named after the controversial left-wing billionaire, George Soros, who spent millions of dollars to defeat President Bush in 2004. She was given a Soros grant to “increase civic participation of former prisoners.”
This is the same Linda Evans, according to an FBI report, who said that during a trip to Hanoi in 1969 she was shown an anti-aircraft gun, cradled it in her arms, and “wished an American plane would fly over.”
For her part, Dohrn in 2004 was advertised as a featured speaker at the Baltimore branch of the Open Society Institute, a group funded by Soros. Her topic was discipline in schools.
You can see what they have in mind for America’s youth in how Chesa Boudin turned out. He was raised by Dohrn and Ayers because his real parents, Weather Underground members Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, had gone to prison. Chesa Boudin, who went to Yale, where he was a leader of the Yale Coalition for Peace, was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and is a big fan of “The Venezuelan Revolution,” which just happens to be in the title of a book that he co-authored that is sympathetic to the brand of communism being promoted by Hugo Chavez. He reportedly lived in Venezuela so he could support the Chavez government. “To our fathers and mothers, who brought politics to our lives,” says the acknowledgements. They sure did.
Chesa Boudin is also an editor of “Letters From Young Activists,” a 2005 book about a new “movement” for “progressive social change” that includes a preface from Bernardine Dohrn, who praises the “young militants” for trying to change the world. The book includes an endorsement from convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and gives thanks to “lifelong activist and educator Bill Ayers.”
“Dear Dad,” writes Chesa Boudin in a letter published in the book. He tells his father, convicted and incarcerated terrorist David Gilbert, that “Che Guevara would have described your revolutionary spirit as guided by love.”
It turns out that Bill Ayers’ brother, Rick, who accused Hillary of McCarthyism, is also an “educator.” He was a teacher at Berkeley High School, where he developed a program that sent students to foreign countries like Cuba and Mexico to learn about “social justice.” The author of a book about teenage slang, he has teamed up with his brother and Bernardine Dohrn to edit the forthcoming book, Zero Tolerance, advertised as an argument against using tough discipline in schools.
Apparently, school officials are just supposed to let student troublemakers have the run of the place, like the SDS tried to do on college campuses.
The Obama Youth Movement
An objective observer might conclude that Ayers, Dohrn and their comrades are now dedicated to creating a new student and youth movement, like the one they participated in which eventually developed into a full-blown terrorist organization that killed our fellow citizens and tried to eliminate the “Thin Blue Line” of police separating us from the criminals.
In this new crusade, they not only have an inspiring leader, Barack Obama, who attracts young people with his promise of “change,” but a moneybags named Soros, who has funded causes such as rights for convicted felons and legalization of dope.
“I have very high regard for Hillary Clinton, but I think Obama has the charisma and the vision to radically reorient America in the world,” Soros recently told Judy Woodruff of Bloomberg Television. “I think that he has shown to be a really unusual person.”
On April 8, according to Politico’s Ben Smith, Soros hosted a dinner that spawned a new group, Progressive Media USA, which plans on spending $40 million to defeat McCain’s presidential bid and ensure the election of the Democratic candidate, which Soros hopes will be Obama.
But the patriotism of Frank Marshall Davis can certainly be questioned. And Obama should be asked why he referred to this pro-Soviet communist in his book only as “Frank.”

Pickling to preserve your Victory Garden Harvest
The USDA recommends using frozen foods within 6 months. The USDA also recommends using home-canned items, such as tomatoes, within a year. But with due diligence pickled foods can last two or more years. We’ve personally used dill pickles, green tomatoes and jalapeno peppers three years after pickling.
Here are a few other things to remember.
Vinegar, honey and salt are natural preservatives. Honey is not only a preservative, but it is also a natural antibiotic. One can open a jar of honey and leave it out; exposed to all types of air-borne mold spores and bacteria, and 30 years later it will still have no mold growing. The ancient Egyptians would place dead infants and small children in large urns, cover them with honey, and 3,000 years later, archeologists discovered the bodies preserved with remarkably little change.
During the U.S. Civil War, salt pork was a food staple. Salt is not too good for the heart, but it is a natural preservative. Because of the acid content in vinegar, it acts much the same as honey, except vinegar evaporates so it must be kept covered. Regardless of the preservation abilities of honey, salt and vinegar, we recommend keeping all pickled foods covered and if possible, once the jar is opened, keep it under refrigeration. If refrigeration is not available, once the jar is opened, consume quickly – don’t gamble with your family’s health.
Sauerkraut is really nothing more than pickled cabbage. The vegetable items that can be pickled is literally wide-open. Cauliflower, carrots, beets and yes, even tomatoes can be successfully pickled.
Whenever it suits our taste buds, we try to use combinations of salt, vinegar and honey when we pickle. One must adjust the following suggested recipes to the family’s personal preferences. EXPERIMENT!!!
Crisp Dill Pickles
3 qts boiling water
1qt white 5% vinegar
Fresh Dill
1 Cup coarse salt (Kosher) or pickling salt
1 tsp. mustard seed in each quart
1 clove of garlic (or more to taste) in each quart
If you can find grape leaves, put one in each jar, and celery and carrots are supposed to make them crisper.
Scrub pickles to remove impurities and the little black spiney things.
Soak pickles in ice-cold water for an hour or more. After soaking, cut off about ¼” of the flower end of each pickle, (not the stem end).
Boil vinegar, water and salt.
Sterilize jars, lids and rings in boiling water.
Put dill, mustard seed and garlic in the bottom of the jars, add pickles, then pour boiling pickling solution into the jars.
Put jar tops on and seal tight. Place jars into boiling water, then turn off the heat and let the water cool to room temperature.
Make sure the lids seal.
Store at least a month to allow the pickling process to complete.
HINTS:
Omit the garlic, mustard seed and dill, and follow the same procedure for pickling jalapeno or other hot chili peppers. (See recipe for pickled jalapenos for more detailed directions.)
If you want a quart of more of hot, spicy pickles that teens seem to crave, just toss a jalapeno pepper into each jar.
When frost is coming and you want to preserve the dozens of green and partially ripened tomatoes in your Victory Garden, follow the recipe for dill pickles substituting the tomatoes for pickles. Simply quarter large tomatoes and halve small tomatoes before adding to the jar. When they are ready to eat, the skins will peel off very easily.
