Katie Couric Interviews Obama & McCain

Obama refuses to admit he was wrong. Even when the liberal media tells him the numbers show he was wrong, he still refuses to admit that HE was the one that made a mistake in judgement, not McCain.

Become an Illegal Aliens

Becoming Illegal (Actual letter from an Iowa resident and
sent to his senator)

The Honorable Tom Harkin
731 Hart Senate Office Building
Phone (202) 224- 3254
Washington DC , 20510

Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal
Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I
have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an
effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal
alien, and they referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S.
Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was
recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If
my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate,
as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for
five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay
a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five
years. I know a good deal when I see one, and I am anxious
to get the process started before everyone figures it out.
Simpl y put, those of us who have been here legally have
had to pay taxes every year, so I'm excited about the
prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for
paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to
be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent
result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in
2004 and 2005.
Additionally, as an illegal alien, I could begin using the
local emergency room as my primary health care provider.
Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance,
my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.
Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my
daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to
her law school applications, as well as 'in-state'
tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United State
s for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me
of the burden of renewing my driver's license and
making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is
very important to me given that I still have college age
children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline of the process to
become illegal (retroactively, if possible) and copies of
the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.
Thank you for your assistance.
Your Loyal Constituent,

Donald Ruppert

The Obama Media

THE FROG THEORY

If you drop a frog in boiling water he will leap right out. If you slowly heat the water he will be content until it's too late to get out. That is exactly how history works. It moves slowly and we never really see any danger until it's too late.
Remember how suppressed workers were before unions came along? The unions leveled th e playing field. Unfortunately, over a long period of time the pendulum swung too far. Slowly, businesses and factories closed and jobs left the country. We were comfortable and didn't see the change coming. We blamed everyone except ourselves for what happened. We weren't alert to how slow things change over time.

World War II, and the Korean War, demonstrated how powerful a united nation could be. Our nation, and our families, were united. The father was the head of the family and the President was the head of the nation. Both were highly respected. We were content and happy.

We were good at fighting a hot war but we were unprepared to fight a cold war with the communists in the 50's. They knew they couldn't change us but they didn't care. Their philosophy was to wait it out and capture the
minds of our children. They loaded our colleges with many of their professors and waited. It didn't take long to see the results.

The 60''s ushered in the radicals, drug culture, student protesters, and the Vietnam War. The aim of the cold war was to divide and conquer. They divided our families and the nation. The secret to defeating a polite and
respectful people is to scream. The louder and longer you scream the better your chance of winning. Radicals are masters at this form of attack. They know if you constantly scream and repeat a lie it will eventually become the truth.

The media, and Hollywood , hammered us with hate America themes and stories. They took God out of our schools, our service men, and women, were jeered, cursed, and spit on. Even the people, who latter wanted to become their President, thrashed them. We lost our first War in history. There was no hero's homecoming for our fighting men and women.

The Reverend King, who was raised in the old school, peacefully changed the race issue and united the people. When he died the new breed of leaders like the Jesse Jackson's, Lewis Farakon,'s Al Sharpton's, and Rev.
Wright's put a lid on his efforts and turned racism into a money making machine.

Corporations were green-mailed by threats of protests, product boycotts, or endless lawsuits. Every issue, large or small, became a race issue. The public recoiled in fear of being called a racist. Their voices were silenced because one word could cost you a career, get you fired, or get you sued.

Even politicians buckled under to the pressure. The Florida legislature issued a formal apology for having slavery 200 years ago. They were thanked by being asked for compensation. There is no end in sight for this kind of nonsense . America didn't capture slaves and bring them to America . Their own people sold them to slave traders from several nations. This knowledge doesn't stop the screamers. History is what it is and you can't change it. There have been many tragic events in history. You acknowledge them and move on.

They divided our nation into two separate Americas . We now have Americans, and African-Americans, although Africa has nothing to do with being an American. You can be one or the other but not both. You are what you were born to be. You do not subordinate our country to any foreign nation. It's equivalent to flying the African flag above the Stars and Stripes. If you hyphenate two countries America always comes first.

This election year could be the turning point in our history because the frog theory has come into play. It's time to step back and look at how the country has slowly changed since the cold war started. Don't get caught up in all the hype.

George McGovern was the first Presidential candidate to test the waters with college students. The Clinton 's played a big role in his campaign. It was the worst campaign ever run. He was crushed in the election.

Step two was to infiltrate all the information vehicles such as radio, newspapers, magazines, TV and movies. They were quite successful at that.

Jimmy Carter was the first President to demonstrate the leadership skills of the far left. Weak military, high taxes, runaway inflation, 19% mortgage rates, and plain incompetence ended his career in Washington . Iran, a small country at the time, took American hostages and kicked sand in our face. By negotiating from weakness Carter could not get the hostages released.

The big benefit of the Carter years is that they were followed by the Reagan years. The nation got a clear look at the difference between a weak nation and a strong nation. Every student should know this difference. When Ronald Reagan took over the hostages were quickly released , taxes were lowered, inflation dropped, mortgage rates dropped, and the military was strengthened. Russia quickly waved the white flag and waited for another Democrat term.

Clinton took over Carters uncompleted social programs. He weakened the military and tried to pass large government programs. An Intern derailed his Presidency. While he was tied up with his personal problems his lawyers ran the country. He passed up three opportunities to take out Osama Bin Laden. This eventuall y cost us the loss of our Twin Towers , thousands of American lives, and got us involved in a war with Iraq .

By the end of his term the left had captured a large share of the media and it flexed its muscle in 2000. The hate Bush campaign got off to a roaring start. The brainwashing theory of repeating the same story over and over again was launched.

There were endless stories about our evil nation and its President. Top-secret plans were leaked to the press and printed for the entire world to see. Hollywood cranked out documentaries about the evil Bush administration and our evil military. They laid the groundwork for the next election. The ACLU flooded the courts with lawsuits and the Democrat party became a law firm. Almost every incumbent, or his or her spouse, is a lawyer. They now have the perfect candidate because they can squash criticism by playing the race card. If you don't like Obama, or criticize him, you are a racist. They can hide his inexperience and background by turning him into a rock star and singing change and hope. They don't tell us what kind of change, or how it will be done, only that you should hope for the best. By keeping the hype going they don't have to put anything of substance on the table. The only thing we really know about Obama is that his wife h as never been proud to be an American. They want us to believe that his liberal college professors, Rev. Pfleger, his ties to radicals Bill Ayer and Lewis Farakon, and listening to the Rev. Wright's hate talks for 20 years,had no influence on his thinking. If they didn't, then who did? He wasn't in business and didn't see fit to serve his country. These people launched his political career and their organizations received earmarks in return for their campaign donations and political help. They must have had some influence. Rev. Wright's church received over $15 million. That's only one small local church. Think on a national scale. The change being promoted is a change back to the Carter years. It started in 2006 when the lawyer party took over. There have been endless lawsuits and investigations in retaliati on for the Clinton years. It keeps the lawyers busy but does nothing for the economy. The economy has been in a downward s piral since they took over. Returning to the Carter yea rs of high taxes, high inflation, and a weak military is not the change we are looking for. We cannot cower to a bunch of crazies whose only goal in life is to kill us. The old sage's (over 50) will have to play a big role in this election. The young people simply don't know what the aged know. The advantage of aging is the knowledge you accumulated. You know what United States means. You know what the seldom-heard word respect means. You know how wonderful freedom and independence is. You know the difference between a strong and a weak nation; and you know what it takes to keep it strong. You know history because you have lived it. Although the old guard is dying off, and getting too tired to fight, they have to muster one more charge. If they don't, our children, and grandchildren, will never know the joy and freedom that is the bedrock of our country. The heat is slowly bein g turned up and the water is getting hot. The old frogs better start jumping before it's too late.

Obama On Partial Birth Abortions

In 2001, Illinois state Sen. Patrick O’Malley introduced three bills to help such babies. One required a second physician to be present at the abortion to determine if a surviving baby was viable. Another gave the parents or a public guardian the right to sue to protect the baby’s rights. A third, almost identical to the federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act President Bush signed in 2002, simply said a “homo sapiens” wholly emerged from his mother with a “beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definite movement of voluntary muscles” should be treated as a “‘person,’ ‘human being,’ ‘child’ and ‘individual.’”
Stanek testified about these bills in the Illinois Senate Judiciary Committee, where Obama served. She told me this week he was “unfazed” by her story of holding the baby who survived an induced labor abortion.
On the Illinois Senate floor, OBAMA was the only senator to SPEAK AGAINST the baby-protecting bills. He voted “present” on each, effectively the same as a “no

Veteran's Thoughts On Obama

I read this post and I wanted to share it with you. Please pass this around to your family and friends.


tnflash19736:05PMMay 27th 2008

I'm a veteran and in reading some of the republican responses, which I agree on, I have to comment on one comment about taking on Iran. First off ALL soldiers are volunteers. We weren't drafted nor were we made to go anywhere. We voluteered when we raised our hand and swore to DEFEND this country from terrorists foreign or domestic. We fight so you Obama supporters can run your damn mouths and be negative about what we're doing. You speak negatively about what we're doing and you want us to retreat before we finish our job which if we do you'll pay for dearly. Bottomline is when you retreat the bad guy gains the ground. The country wasn't made free without a fight and in continuing the freedom we volunteered to continue the fight.
Obama turned his back on the flag and to me that speaks volumes. There's no excuse for it and it's a terrorist offense in my book. He won't sing the Star Spangled Banner because it's offensive so I ask you won't it be offensive to you when he raises a muslim backed flag atop the White House? Then you'll call on the volunteers to do something. Quit running your mouth about something you know nothing about. Iran is a threat and to them we are infidels whom they want nothing more than to kill. I say get them before they get us.
McCain is a vet that has seen hell and lived it. He lives by our code of never leaving a man behind. Obama would certainly forget us and you too. Let us do our job so that you can keep protesting. As long as you're able to do that then we know we're doing our jobs!!!

Obama's Own Words On Race

Subject: Obama's words

Obama's OWN WORDS !! - A Quick MUST READ !!

This guy wants to be our President and control our government. Pay close attention to the last comment!! Below are a few lines from Obama's books, his words:

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 mothers race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that mad 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 get name names.

From Dreams of My Father: '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.'

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

Montana Rancher Takes On Obama

A friend of mine sent me this. I thought you would enjoy reading this one. Sounds like this Rancher is a wise man!


While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Montana rancher,
whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor
struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got
around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'.'
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post
turtle' was. The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a
country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle
balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.' The old man saw a puzzled
look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain.

'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up
there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you
just want to help the dumb ass get down.'

Let's Look At Obama

Gary Boggess10:47AMMay 20th 2008

I have been searching the web for insight concerning the next
presidential election. In my searching and reading... it was EASY to
figure out why I didn't want Hillary in the White House because I was
able to examine REAL substance concerning her current views and
positions, and weigh the evidence of "what she said" with "what she
actually did" in her past political performance. Without going into
detail, I was able to discern WHAT she stands for, and form my
responses to it. I was also satisfied to follow the same process with
McCain. BOTH have a past I can examine. BOTH (on most issues), are
fairly clear about who they are and what they'd do IF elected. As a
result... I have declared myself a political orphan this election. I
have concluded that THIS election is a sham of unprecedented
dimensions. Here we are in the midst of the worst problems we've ever
faced, and we've got THREE JOKERS running for president.

So... what's left? Obama. Well I've been watching Obama. And although I
think he's a very good oratator, speaker, presenter and he LOOKS like
someone who has it together, I am stumped to explain to myself HOW this
man could sit in a clearly racist church for 20 years. I mean... here's
a guy who is offering us CHANGE. He's also offering LEADERSHIP... and
he claims that he's qualified to make critical decisions for the
country. But after hearing Rev. Wright's hate- teach, Obama just sat
there for TWENTY YEARS! It doesn't take a wrecking ball for me to see;
that if Obama couldn't pick his ass up and leave that church 19 1/2
years ago, that he is no leader. He didn't CHANGE his church
affiliations. He didn't CHANGE his racist political associations. He
didn't CHANGE his support for men who OBVIOUSLY supported and even
awarded Louis Farakhan, an anti-semite, anti-white racist "Man of the
Year" 2007! And Obama didn't CHANGE ANYTHING until the media & public
opinion FORCED him to. And I'm sorry... but that nice little "B&W
racial" speech he gave in Philadelphia just didn't FIX IT for me. WORDS
mean things... and if they do... DEEDS precede and follow. As far as
I'm concerned, Obama is 19 1/2 years too late.

So... as a result... I have been looking for reasons WHY people believe
in this man who obviously doesn't BELIEVE HIS OWN SPEAK!!! Because if
he did, the above two paragraphs wouldn't need written.

I have been looking for substance concerning Obama's claims for CHANGE.
And I can't come up with substantive comparable's to Hitlary or McLame.
Obama offers us a collection of empty political rhetoric tantamount to
political vapor-ware! No Substance. No history to support it. Nothing
but ambiguous WORDS. I'm sorry... being a good speaker isn't a
qualification for being a leader, much less a President!

I searched the web, and I "GET IT" that Obama is offering CHANGE. BUT
WHAT CHANGE? Obama has yet to define it. I can't define it. Nobody can.
Promises are one thing. HOW is another. I emailed a few of my black
friends in Ohio... and they told me they're as lost as I am concerning
Obama. WHAT CHANGE are we looking for and if things CAN BE CHANGED,
does it matter HOW anyone DOES IT??

GERMANY got "CHANGE" once... and it wasn't a good change. I see that
Obama proposed a house bill proposing that the American people commit
to paying over $850-billion in handouts to "a world poverty tax." Are
we going to do that while we're chasing our own families out of their
homes due to foreclosure because there's no jobs left here? Talk about
NAFTA taking jobs away and allowing corporate fascism to control our
government, and leaving Americans with no jobs and a run away
inflationary economy headed into depression!!! READ THIS!>>

WHAT DOES OBAMA MEAN WHEN HE SAYS THE WORD, CHANGE!!!????? And when he
refers to these changes... HOW does he justify doing it? You might be
tired of the same old Washington CRAP. I sure am. I'm for change BIG

Wasn't it just a few days ago that he said McCain was losing his bearings? Well. Obama either has lost his bearings or he is confused about how many states there are.

Ken Blackwell On Obama

----- What a black columnist has to say about Obama

Ken Blackwell - Columnist for the New York Sun

It's an amazing time to be alive in America . We're in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first frontrunning fr! eedom f ighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.

We won't truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.

The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him.
Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people learned the facts.

Because the tr uth is that Mr Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. ! Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a be auty pageant. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting pa! st red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial 'beauty.'

Start with national security, since the president's most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats ! who hav e worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.

Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago Yet Mr Obama promises to rais e taxes on 'the rich.' How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His! soluti on to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.

Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, 'All praise and glory to God!' but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have 'hijacked' - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Ill inois, he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francis co values, not Middle America values.

The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of 'bringing America together' means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs

But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they're talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama's radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.

It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let's first make sure we elect the! person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.

Subject: Kind of scary, wouldn't you think
Remember--God is good, and is in time, on time--every time.
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:
The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal...the prophecy says that people will floc k to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to copy this and post it and email it as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet..do it!
If you think I am crazy..I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate.

Obama Lies On Social Secutiry

This is just my 2 cents but I'm curious why Obama says that "people like myself (Obama) are paying a little bit more".

As a member of the legislative branch of our goverment (Senators and members of the House of Representatives) they do not pay anything into the Social Security trust fund. Not a single penny of their salary is subject to the social security tax. They have a completely separate retirement fund that is 100 percent funded by the taxpayers (that would be people like you and me) and the cost to them is nothing.

How dare he use himself as an example of someone who would be willing to contribute more of his salary to Social Security because despite a six digit income, these people contribute zip. It's very easy for them to take action on raising this tax because its a tax that they don't pay so raising it doesn't affect their bottom line at all. It only affects us taxpayers but then again when did any of these elected officials really care about us (I mean really care in us, not just pander to get our vote).

Don't you find it interesting that we are all forced to pay into a fund that none of the Governement employees use?

I don't know about you, but I can't afford one more cent of taxes, period!
