The Truth About Obama --- He Is A Radical

If you have already decided to vote for Obama and Biden, don't read this article, but if there is just one particle of doubt hung up in your logic filter, please read this and think hard about it.
Barack Hussien Obama is the most radical political figure ever to be nominated by a major party. This frightens me.
Obama promises to change America forever, and I have no doubt that if he is elected, he will do just that. Remember, Obama is the most liberal member of the United States Senate.
He received a 100 percent Liberal Rating from the National Journal, making him the most left-wing Senator in Washington - more liberal even than Edward Kennedy.
Look at Obama's record and you will understand just how dangerous he is. Study his dangerous economic plans for America.
He wants to almost double the capital gains tax. He wants to strip the FICA tax cap off every worker making more than $97,500. He wants to increase the dividend tax. He wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire - giving every American worker an automatic tax increase.
He has called for more than $800 billion in new spending programs.
He is so radical he even backed driver's licenses for illegal aliens - even though such a move would help future terrorists move freely in the United States.
He is the most pro-abortion candidate in the history of the country. In 2001, as a state legislator in Illinois, he opposed a bill to protect live born children - children actually born alive! He was the only Illinois senator to speak out against the bill.
He opposes gun rights. He has long history of trying to deny ordinary citizens access to guns.
He originally backed Washington D.C.'s total ban on private handguns - a ban that was overturned. The NRA rated him an "F" on gun positions and says he is one of the most dangerous anti-gun politicians in the nation.
Obama is a Harvard educated elitist. To him we Americans are simply "bitter" and he has mocked us saying "[they] cling to their guns and their religion."
Perhaps even more frightening is the fact that he has terrorist friends he won't denounce. One such man is William Ayers, a leader in the radical terrorist group the Weatherman Underground. The group bombed several government buildings, including the Pentagon, killing civilians and police officers.
In 2001, Ayers said he had no regrets for his actions and wished he could have done more.
The ties between Obama and Ayers are tight. Both served on non-profit boards and worked closely together. Ayers hosted a political event at his home for Obama.
Obama has acknowledged he is a friend of Ayers and defends his association by saying he, Obama, was only 8 years old at the time of the Pentagon bombing.
However, Obama has no explanation as to why he is still a friend of Ayers.
Obama has been endorsed by radicals such as Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan. That's the diametrical equivalent of David Duke endorsing McCain. Yet the main-stream liberal press says nothing about Obama's friends. He gets a complete pass on this.
We all recall Obama's relationship with the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
There should be little doubt that William Ayers and Louis Farrakhan and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright are rooting for Obama - because he is one of them.
In keeping with such friends, Obama has promised to meet with radical leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without "preconditions" even though Ahmadinejad has promised to "wipe Israel off the map" and "destroy" America.
Even radical Hamas terrorists have praised him.
Think about this for a moment. Some years back Muslim extremists promised they would plant Muslim youth in this country who would live here pretending to be loyal Americans. They would run for office and one day they would take over the country and destroy it. I can't say Obama is one of these "planted Muslims", pretending to be a loyal American, but I believe we have too many solid leaders who are without a doubt loyal to the USA to take a chance.
He claims to be a Christian, but would a "planted Muslim" confess?
Unbelievably, Obama has a slight edge on McCain in recent polls, mainly because the press does everything possible to conceal Obama's true colors.
We can still defeat Obama if we let Americans know the truth. John McCain can win this election!
We must expose Obama for the dangerous radical he is.
Please think long and hard before you pull that lever. Is this the Change you seek? Is this the man you want defending our nation as Commander in Chief?

This country needs change, and I believe Obama can deliver the right results needed. I don't believe most of what you say in your article Marty. I think you got some bad scoop somewhere.

Dear Teresa: Thanks for your comments. You are brave also. God Bless you and our nation. Marty RicKard
You know, Marty. You make a lot of allegations here. But, I find it very difficult to accept the majority of what you have passed on to us. I am not blaming you. I just have to agree with David Tanguay, I think you got some bad scoop.
I might be inclined to entertain some of what you have provided in this article if you can cite references.
God bless you,
Mark
Dear Mark: Most of this information I heard and read from Obama material. For example I heard him in the debate with Hillary state that he favored giving drivers licenses to illegals. They could also register to vote at that time. What specifically do you doubt? Let me know and I will attribute it. Or, I will pull it. Thanks for reading and commenting. God Bless, Marty RicKard

Marty, has it ever occured to you that just may be Obama is ahead of his (America) time and the people who are still stuck in the past can't see it, resist it and are afraid that they'll not fit into the "new world"/ LOVE consciousness? The rest of the world moved on a few decades ago -- Obama is so beloved the world over because we in the "new world"/ LOVE consciousness identify with Obama. We're waiting to welcome you to the other side. Do not fear, you of little faith!

Well, Marty, You said a lot. I know you are an Obama hater. Not even you can doubt this. And I feel it is your right to feel the way you do. Sometimes I do express my bias for the Democratic Party even more strongly. But as someone said earlier, where are your sources for all these volumes of allegations? My question to you is, "Do you think you care more about this country than the rest of us do?" Do you think the millions of people who cast their votes for Obama, campaign for him, and the main stream media you mentioned don't love their country? Or you just hate Obama for some reasons you don't feel comfortable saying out, which we all know.
Speaking of William Ayers, where is he right now? Well, I don't know much about the Weatherman organization Ayers was allegedly associated with, but I did some research and found that for whatever reasons, he was not convicted of any crime. Another question: Giving the age and time we live in, do you honestly think, Marty, that William Ayers would be a free man today walking on the streets and holding a distinguished position as Professor of Education at the University of Illinois-Chicago, one of he nation's reputable universities, if he were really as bad as you think? If he was cleared by the judicial system of the country, there has got to be a reason, and a good one.
And stop watching Fox News. Remember, they voted for George Bush in 2000 and 2004. Obama is an epitome of change. He is what this country needs.
Dear Zeambo: Thanks for your comments. I do not hate Obama. But I do love my country. Obama scares me to death, and it has nothing to do with his race. These are facts about the man not hate.
As far as Ayers' guilt. He admits it. He is proud of it. Six people died in the bombings, three of the bombers and three officers.
The government had a great case against Ayers, but they used illegal wiretaps to gather evidence. The case fell not because evidence was lacking, but due to methodology. In Ayers' own memoir Fugitive Days, Ayers says, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."
I'm sure Ayers is not the same now as then, but we don't know his heart. We do know his past and his unrepentance.
Hi Marty,
I won't comment directly about your article except that we need positive change. However, it is up to us to do our part. The toxicity of what is going on is sickening. Like Teresa said, you are brave.
God bless,
Michelle

hi marty,
i think it's a sad state of affairs when the average american is upset over their choices, liking neither as their next president, and having nowhere else to turn. we already have to deal with all the problems we have, social security, home taxes, all other taxes, homeland security, the war in Iraq, and every other place our troops are stationed, etc. etc., and now, i don't know who the best candidate is, no matter what is said about either.
unfortunately, i will be voting for who i believe to be the lesser of 2 evils.
thanks for a great article and sharing your thoughts,
best regards,
sue
