Iranians (Islamic Leaders) Hoping for ‘Muslim’ Obama Victory
newsmax ^ Sep. 08 09
Iranians (Islamic Leaders) Hoping for ‘Muslim’ Obama Victory Iran’s leadership has expressed “great pleasure” at the prospect of a Barack Obama victory in November, according to Menashe Amir, the Iranian-born head of Radio Israel’s Persian language service. But Iranian President Ahmadinejad has said he doubts that the American establishment “will allow” Obama to win. “One of the Iranian religious leaders said if Obama will enter the White House, then Islam will conquer the heart of the American nation,” Amir told Isracast.com
Pastor Rick Warren had back-to-back interviews with Barack Obama and John McCain at the Saddleback Faith Forum. The answers illustrated the differences between the two.
When asked about the existence of evil and what to do about it, Obama acknowledged the existence of evil and the necessity to oppose it. Then he did what most liberals do, unequivocally equated America itself with evil: “You know a lot of evil has been perpetrated based on the claim that we were trying to confront evil: … You know, just because we think our intentions are good doesn’t mean that we’re going to be doing good.”
McCain’s response was simple and direct on the problem of evil: “Defeat it.”
Obama’s response illustrates the liberal premise that America is evil and, therefore, has no gravitas or right to fight evil elsewhere.
Obama simply cannot acknowledge that there is a vast difference between the Osama bin Ladens and the Ayman al-Zawahiris of the world and us. Instead, he effectively erects a facade of moral equivalence between Islamofascism and our attempt to defeat it.
That is just one reason (out of many) as to why Obama is not fit to be president.
In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen
”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970’s as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago.
The long curly locks in his Wanted poster are shorn, though he wears earrings. He still has tattooed on his neck the rainbow-and-lightning Weathermen logo that appeared on letters taking responsibility for bombings. And he still has the ebullient, ingratiating manner, the apparently intense interest in other people, that made him a charismatic figure in the radical student movement.
Now he has written a book, ”Fugitive Days” (Beacon Press, September). Mr. Ayers, who is 56, calls it a memoir, somewhat coyly perhaps, since he also says some of it is fiction.
He writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972.
But Mr. Ayers also seems to want to have it both ways, taking responsibility for daring acts in his youth, then deflecting it.
”Is this, then, the truth?,” he writes. ”Not exactly. Although it feels entirely honest to me.”
On August 18, 2008, Jonathan Capehart sitting in for Leonard Lopate Show – WNYC , http://www.WNYC.org (212 433 9292) [NPR’s outlet in NY] interviewed in the last part of of the first hour Liz from ‘The Daily News’, first Liz brushed off any doubts if NY Yorkers are behind Hillary, “everybody is for NY” – she “decided”, yet, Jonathan in his desperation and worry that Mccain might win NY (NPR is independent” of course…), asked her “but… there’s no chance Mccain can win NY, Right?” Liz was “struggling” with Obama’s loss from 20% to 10% then tried to spin about it suddenly she came up with a most stupid answer: “Mccain doesn’t even have an office here… his headquarters is based in NJ”… oh boy, is she that silly that she believes people don’t notice the childish “reasoning” of it? How far really is NJ from NY? NYC almost borders with NJ!
It’s almost like saying, Richardson VS. Dallas TX, La Jolla VS San Diego CA, Palo Alto VS San Jose CA, Fort Lauderdale VS Miami FL, Skokie VS Chicago IL, etc. Even though they are two separate states, it’s more like Cincinnati OH VS Louisville KY.
For Jonathan it was “enough”, he was not only satisfied but so happy, thus ended the interview.
