This nut case must be reading from the Obama/Ayers approved "New American History" book that will undoubtedly be crammed into the heads of the next generation of students! Apparently, nobody in the congregation was any wiser!

The original "Yes we can!" speech...
This YouTube video was put together by a user who calls himself "eaglephin," and who is obviously a great fan of Ronald Reagan. Just read the description he wrote for this video, which he simply calls, "Yes, we can":
It takes more than a pretty video and a bunch of celebrities singing to make a great president. It takes a person who understands where the true greatness of America lies.
Long before anyone ever heard of Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan challenged Americans to hope, to dream, to believe...
In themselves.
He brought change. He told us "yes we can". Except he also told us we didn't need government to do it. He inspired us with his words and his actions. He showed us that our individual liberty and creativity is what makes our country great not any government program...
Reagan was an idealist AND an ideologue. His policies were based in his rock solid conservative ideology. That doesn't mean he never compromised. But compromise is something different than standing on the same side of an issue with those who are supposed to be your political adversaries.
We need to work TOGETHER to succeed -- Join Michael Reagan now in the NEW Reagan Revolution, to bring true Conservatism BACK!

Have no fear...
I woke up this morning hoping it was all a dream. Could it be possible that Barack Hussein Obama will soon be in the White House? A cold chill went down my spine as I considered the possibility!
Then I looked out of the window and saw the blanket of snow that covered the ground last night. Was God sending me a message? My first thought was that Hell had frozen over... then I remembered that I was in Utah not Oregon. Was there a cipher in the snow?
I heard Oprah say that "...now we are all united". Uh, no we're not. Over 55,000,000 Americans voted against Socialism last night. I did not vote for McCain, I voted against Socialism!
The Democrats have finally sealed the deal... we now know for sure who they are! They have clearly shown the world that they are Socialists. They have rid themselves of the centrist Democrats like Lieberman and stand firmly in the Socialist camp. They have removed their masks and we now know their character!
I must give them credit for their success. At least they know who they are and they are not afraid to tell us.
This is something that my party was unable to do... we do not know who we are! We put forward the worst candidate in the history of the Republican party. We knew that. We were not voting for McCain, we were voting against Socialism. I was almost as afraid of McCain winning as I was of Obama. Why? Because McCain is not what our party is about! We would jst have become complacent again, basking in a hollow win, delaying our needed reform for another four years!
This morning's blanket of snow symbolized for me the opportunity to clean the slate as a party and rebuild our base reflecting the principles and ideals that our Founding Fathers gave to us 221 years ago.
We have no need to fear. We have no need to back down from the insults and mischaracterizations that are and ,will be flung our way by the other side of the aisle. It is time that we take a serious look at our party and unite to prepare for 2012. It is time that we look outside of the DC Beltway and prepare a candidate that reflects the heartbeat of America. Sarah Palin, like her or not, proved that this is possible.
It is time that we get involved and start the peaceful revolution that will bring our country back to the greatness that our Founding Fathers intended. A country that provides the possibility of the American Dream to all Americans through hard work, education, and ingenuity... not through more welfare and entitlements.
We must not lose faith in America. There are nearly 250 million legal Americans in this country... can we find a handful that are decent, honest, hard working, patriots that are capable of leading the greatest nation on earth? We have four years to find them and effect real change!
We must tap into the technological expertise of this country and develop a fool proof method of voting! I refuse to believe that an electronic method of voting is impossible. If we can develop a network of ATM's that let me, and only me, access my realtime (and always accurate) account from anywhere in the world, I refuse to believe that there is not a way that will allow me to vote once, and only once, from anywhere in the world!
I am confident that Obama's election could be the best thing that ever happened to our party... If it defibrillates our heart, if it causes us to wake up and take action, if we unite as a party and build our core values back to what we know they need to be... it will be a good thing.
We know that Socialism will fail... it always does. We also know that it will cause irreparable damage to our country if we allow it to. Do not listen to the hype that says it is now time for us to move to the center... it is not! It is time for us to stop the "political correctness" and fight harder, with every fiber of our being to defend the Constitution Of The United States! Get a copy and read it... often. Read it to your children and grandchildren until they understand it and grow to love it! It can be read in less than 30 minutes.
Thank God that the socialists did not gain a fillibuster proof majority in the Senate last night... however, we face the possibility of a Supreme Court that will be tilted towards the left for the rest of our lives. They have shown us in the past that the scales of justice are no longer balanced... that the men in black are willing to super-legislate from the bench. Though this is frightening, it is possible to overturn decisions made by them... Take time to learn how it is done!
Remember this, we would not have had Ronald Reagan without Jimmy Carter! Who will Barack Hussein Obama give us in 2012? Will we be ready? Is there an American that we can believe in that will rise up and heed the call to lead us from the hold of Socialism back to the ideals of our Founding Fathers?
Will we be strong enough to stand up against the insults, threats, rhetoric, and false promises of the New Socialist Party? Will you be srong enough to stand up for what you know is right? Or will you cower in fear... giving in to the opposition? Do you have what it takes to say "No, I do not agree with you and this is why".
The revolution will not be easy. The opposition will win many more subjects to their side through the entitlements that will come through the redistribution of the wealth of the great Americans that are the backbone of our country. There will always be those that vote for the one that is willing to give them something for nothing. That will probably never change.
Their vote is not based on knowledge. Their vote is not based upon love of our country and the republican form of government that was set in motion 221 years ago. Their vote is based upon ignorance and personal greed... they are perfectly OK with believing that I am evil or immoral in some way because I have earned more than they have through hard work... therefore the government is justified in taking it from me and giving it to them.
We are going to be hit hard... sucker punched... and we will be knocked down! But, we must not allow them to knock us out! We must be strong for the next four years. We must unite and prepare for the greatest comeback this country has ever witnessed in 2012.
I am looking out the window at the American Flag that is billowing in the wind across the street, a beautiful sight, and I will defend her at all cost... the snow has melted and the sun has busted through the clouds reminding me that we are a "Nation under God" and he is still in control and willing to guide us if we ask.
Have no fear!

"You sold my freedom for what?"
A message to all that voted for Barack Hussein Obama:
What are you going to say to your children and grandchildren when they one day look at you and say, "You sold my freedom for what?"
God help us now. The Constitution will soon hang by a thread and with God as my witness, I will rise up to defend it in any way that is needed... "Give me Liberty or give me death!"
God bless America, please.

The choice is yours... Choose wisely!
I have permission to share this video that was made by Dr. Slogan. It sums it up pretty clearly... We are not anointing a King, we are electing a President.
Barack Obama has shown me that he is not capable of being our Commander-In-Chief or the leader of this great nation. I truly believe that the evidence is clear that he will systematically destroy everything that is good about this nation starting with the Constitution and the First Amendment (Fairness Doctrine) followed closely by the Second Amendment.
He has been condemned by his own words... unless you have been living in a hole, you have heard them... "just words" he says...
Today it was revealed in his own words that he intends to bankrupt the coal industry in this nation... Are you listening coal miners? This is your beloved Democrat that is supposed to be for labor! Don't believe me... google the audio and hear it from the mouth of the "Great One". In the same interview, he made it very clear that his policies will make electricity unaffordable for the majority of Americans!
Do you really want him to increase taxes on anyone earning $42,000 or more (yes, $42,000... the dirty little secret the LSM does not want you to know) and redistribute it to others, many of whom never even work (That is called welfare in my world view).
Obama is ready to destroy our system of free capitalism (the machine behind the American Dream) and take us down the path of Socialism... a system that has failed miserably in every society that has tried it... and it will fail here if it is implemented. But before it does, it will cause irreparable damage to the country that our children and grandchildren will inherit!
His disciples will cry racism, and many other irrational slogans to decry my words but I do not care... I love my country and I respect the Founding Fathers; believing that they were inspired by the Creator to do what they did on our behalf. And the words they penned are just as important today as they were then... We cannot let Obama and his ilk destroy overnight what they did in 1783.
If his words do not convince you, listen to the words of those around the world who are supporting him... Hugo Chavez, Ahmedinajhad, Castro, Odinga, the leaders of Hamas, to name a few... quite an elite club.
Please consider well your action on election day... drop to your knees and ask God if He blesses your actions. This is a promised land and that is the way He wants it to remain. Do not waste the most sacred right that you have as an American - VOTE wisely... Do not listen to the exit polls or the pundits... they have done everything in their power to elect their "Saviour" and destroy the team that will maintain the great ideals of this great nation...DON'T LET IT HAPPEN!
God will continue to bless America if we let Him know that is what we want!

Farrakhan connection confiirmed from the inside out...
I found the following article on Newsmax today. It confirms my own research and Kenneth says it in a way that should leave no question about the man Obama and what makes him tick.

Obama-Farrakhan Ties Are Close, Ex-Farrakhan Aide Says
Saturday, November 1, 2008 2:59 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size
A former top deputy to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan tells Newsmax that Barack Obama’s ties to the black nationalist movement in Chicago run deep, and that for many years the two men have had “an open line between them” to discuss policy and strategy, either directly or through intermediaries.
“Remember that for years, if you were a politician in Chicago, you had to have some type of relationship with Louis Farrakhan. You had to. If you didn’t, you would be ostracized out of black Chicago,” said Dr. Vibert White Jr., who spent most of his adult life as a member and ultimately top officer of the Nation of Islam.
White broke with the group in 1995 and is now a professor of African-American history at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
White said Obama was “part of the Chicago scene” where Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and radicals would go to each other’s events and support each other’s causes.
“Even though Chicago is the third-largest city in the country, within the black community, the political and militant nationalist community is very small. So it wouldn’t be uncommon for [Obama and Farrakhan] to show up at events together, or at least be there and communicate with each other,” White told Newsmax.
The Anti-Defamation League has denounced Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam as a “hate group.”
Farrakhan has called Jews “bloodsuckers,” “satanic” and accused them of running the slave trade. He has labeled gays as “degenerates.” In a 2006 speech, the ADL again condemned Farrakhan when he said: “These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength. … It's the wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality. It's wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic!"
Obama was careful to “denounce” Farrakhan’s comments – but not the man -- during the Democratic primary season earlier this year, but only after Hillary Clinton called him out for benefiting from Farrakhan’s support.
Farrakhan endorsed Obama in a videotaped speech to his followers at Mosque Miryam in Chicago in February. “You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth,” Farrakhan said.
He told the crowd that Obama was the new “messiah.” See Video: Farrakhan Endorses Obama, Calls Him Messiah.
Once the news media and the Clinton campaign got hold of those comments from Farrakhan, demands mounted from all sides that Obama “renounce” Farrakhan.
But as he has done repeatedly throughout this campaign, Obama was careful to parse his words.
“You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan's anti-Semitic comments,” he said during one appearance on “Meet the Press.” “I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible.”
Obama hastened to point out that Farrakhan had been praising him as “an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together. I obviously can't censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.”
But Obama, once again, was less than candid.
In 1995, according to a profile of Obama that appeared in the Chicago Reader newspaper, Obama “took time off from attending campaign coffees to attend October’s Million Man March in Washington, D.C.”
At the time, Obama was running for the Illinois Senate from Chicago’s South Side, a seat he won after getting surrogates to challenge the signatures on nominating petitions for his chief rival, the incumbent Alice Palmer.
The march, which fell far short of attracting the million men it advertised, was organized by Farrakhan and by Obama’s then-pastor, the anti-white black nationalist Wright.
Obama spoke at length with the Chicago Reader upon his return from the Million Man March. “What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society," he said.
“These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a ‘lock ’em up, take no prisoners’ mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress,” Obama said.
“Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing."
“Black nationalism” is a current of thought and political action in the African-American community that has been championed by the likes of Farrakhan, Wright, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers and Khalid al-Mansour. Obama discussed his attraction to black nationalism at length in his 1995 memoir “Dreams of My Father.”
Obama further parsed his words in a Feb. 25, 2008, presentation to a Jewish community meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, where he insisted that Wright “does not have a close relationship with Louis Farrakhan.”
And yet, just months earlier, Wright’s Trumpet magazine gave Farrakhan its Lifetime Achievement Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award, saying that Farrakhan “truly epitomized greatness.”
That award was the fruit of a long and deep relationship between the two men, White told Newsmax. In 1984, Wright accompanied Farrakhan on his much-criticized trip to meet Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, at a time when Gadhafi was considered an enemy of the United States.
Wright also accompanied Farrakhan and Jackson to Syria in 1986, where they successfully negotiated with Syrian strongman for the release of downed American pilot Robert O. Goodman.
Obama’s Speaking Style
In addition to the ideological affinity Obama expressed for the black nationalist movement, White believes that Obama owes much of his success as a public orator to speaking techniques that Farrakhan developed over the years, and exploited for years to great success.
“If you listen to the rhetoric and you take away Obama’s political jargon, you hear a religious tenor to it that is very much Nation of Islam-like. I don’t know if anyone has ever touched on it, but Obama’s speaking style is very Malcolm-like, very Farrakhan-like,” White said.
Any American who has listened to early radio or television interviews of Obama can hear how dramatically Obama’s speaking style has changed since he became a United States senator.
In clips dating from 2001 and even early 2004, Obama speaks haltingly and in long, rambling sentences packed with legalese and dense pseudo-academic rhetoric. But not today.
“As a former minister of the Nation of Islam, I know how they speak,” White told Newsmax. “I don’t know who was training Obama. But that style is not a ministerial style like in the Christian church. It’s a Nation of Islam style.”
White began in the late 1970s as a foot soldier in the Fruit of Islam, the military branch of Farrakhan’s Black Muslim group, then rose to become a minister of the Nation of Islam and a top deputy to Farrakhan himself.
Known initially as Brother Vibert L.X., and later as Minister V.L. Muhammad, he parted ways with Farrakhan not long after the Million Man March, after nearly 25 years within the organization.
White’s 2002 book “Inside the Nation of Islam” prompted death threats by Farrakhan loyalists, so he left Illinois and moved to Florida to teach at the University of Central Florida.
He told Newsmax that Obama’s remarkable speaking style, even his manner of standing at a podium to appear larger than life, is directly copied from Farrakhan.
“If the Nation of Islam can’t do anything else, it can train people how to speak. And nobody can outspeak a Muslim minister,” he said.
Earlier this year, a pro-Clinton blog run by former CIA officer Larry Johnson unearthed a 2004 photograph showing Michelle Obama and Farrakahn’s wife, Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, at an event hosted by Jackson’s Citizenship Education Foundation.
Newsmax queried Obama’s U.S. Senate office, his Chicago office and his campaign press office about his ties to Farrakhan, but did not receive a reply.
Ever since he appeared before the annual policy conference of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee in June, Obama has attempted to convince the Jewish community that he is pro-Israel.
But his longstanding ties to Farrakhan, Wright and Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, among others, have disturbed many Jewish community leaders.
Sen. John McCain publicly chastised The Los Angeles Times on Thursday for not releasing a videotape the newspaper said it possessed of a 2003 dinner for Khalidi, where Obama reportedly accused Israel of carrying out a “genocide” against the Palestinians.

“If the Nation of Islam can’t do anything else, it can train people how to speak. And nobody can outspeak a Muslim minister,” he said.
Earlier this year, a pro-Clinton blog run by former CIA officer Larry Johnson unearthed a 2004 photograph showing Michelle Obama and Farrakahn’s wife, Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, at an event hosted by Jackson’s Citizenship Education Foundation.
Newsmax queried Obama’s U.S. Senate office, his Chicago office and his campaign press office about his ties to Farrakhan, but did not receive a reply.
Ever since he appeared before the annual policy conference of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee in June, Obama has attempted to convince the Jewish community that he is pro-Israel.
But his longstanding ties to Farrakhan, Wright and Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, among others, have disturbed many Jewish community leaders.
Sen. John McCain publicly chastised The Los Angeles Times on Thursday for not releasing a videotape the newspaper said it possessed of a 2003 dinner for Khalidi, where Obama reportedly accused Israel of carrying out a “genocide” against the Palestinians.

Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting...
...especially with the media cheering it all on." (Wall Street Journal, October 17, 2008)

Our Constitution is hanging by a thread...
Family and Friends-
I have spent hundreds of hours researching Barack Hussein Obama and I am terrified of him and his proposed policies for “We The People”. You all know that I have a love for this country that is second to none. I believe in our Constitution and what it stands for. I also believe that it was designed to govern a moral nation and will have no effect on an amoral people. I believe that our nation has fallen to an all time low because good people, for whatever reason, have been afraid to stand up and speak out against the corruption that has taken over the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I have decided to speak up. There is less than 20 days until the election (many are voting now through absentee ballots and mail-in ballots) and I must do my part to shine the light on the disaster that is coming our way in the name of Barack Hussein Obama.
I am just one guy out of nearly 300 million people in this country. I am “Joe Retired White Guy” trying to live the American Dream. I am trying to feel good about the future of my five grandchildren. But I have to confess that I am terrified of the possible outcome of the election. I am terrified that we may only have 19 more days to live our lives as citizens of a free nation, rather than subjects of a socialist regime.
I have spent a great deal of time reading the available information on both candidates for the President of The United States of America. This includes Barack Hussein Obama’s own words as written in his two autobiographies. I have to tell you that neither of these books are easy to follow… they are twisted, convoluted, stories of a very confused man… trying to figure out who he is and what he stands for.
I am no rocket scientist, but it is clear to me that Barack Hussein Obama has a long history of associations and advisors that cause me to question his loyalty to the Constitution and the Judeo-Christian principles that this country was founded upon. Don’t get me wrong, I cannot read a man’s heart… Obama says he is a Christian and I cannot say that he is not. There are many that believe he is Muslim… I have not found any evidence that he practices that faith. However, there is plenty of evidence that his life and search for personal identity has been greatly influenced by radical Muslims such as Louis Farrakan and Malcolm X.
As one who lived through the 60’s and saw first hand the radical ideals and actions of the Nation of Islam under the direction of Malcolm X and later Louis Farrakan, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to question the judgment of a candidate that admits to studying their teachings and then participating in the so-called Million Man March on our Nation’s Capital.
Even his professed brand of Christianity over the last 20 years has been a pro-black African, anti-white American theology. Again, it does not take a rocket scientist to find the evidence that exists for these facts… Things that he now conveniently denounces. Barack Hussein Obama says that he sat in the congregation of Reverend Wrights church for 20 years and never heard the vile things that he spoke about our great nation and the white people like me that call it home… I am sorry folks… I have to honk the “BS horn” on this one.
Barack Hussein Obama admits in his biography that he “found himself” while in high school in Hawaii and later in college, as a result of reading and studying the teachings of Saul Alinsky, Marshal Davis, and Malcolm X. In fact, I discovered in my research that the campaign slogan “Change” is a code word for “Socialism” that came straight out of the teachings of Alinsky. I was shocked at the sick and perverted teachings of Marshal Davis… an openly bisexual child molester whose exploits are freely and proudly revealed in his poetry and books that Barack admits to reading and studying during his period of self-discovery. If you want to be shocked, Google Marshal Davis…but you have been warned that you will be shocked and sickened by the things you will read.
Two nights ago, he clearly stated that he would only raise the taxes on small businesses that gross more than $250,000 so that he can “share the wealth” with those that are less fortunate in this country. Do you hear the freight train coming? The last time I checked, taxes were supposed to be used to fund the needs of government… He clearly stated that he wants to use them to redistribute wealth… “Change”! I did some research today and found that this policy will impact over 60% of the small businesses in this country… the backbone of our country and our economy! A closer look at his tax plan also makes it clear that though he will only raise taxes on small businesses that gross over $250,000, the threshold for those of us that are not small businesses is $47,000… but you have not heard him mention that little point in his campaign speeches!
Barack Hussein Obama says he is going to cut taxes for 95% of all Americans… HONK! It is a fact that 38% of the so-called 95% already do not pay any taxes because they are on welfare or are illegal aliens or do not make enough money to fit into the taxable income brackets. So in reality, they will actually receive increased income without having to lift a finger! Barack has made it clear that those of us that have worked hard for our chance at the American Dream are somehow immoral because we have made more money than others (some who have never worked a day in their lives because of the government dole), and we need to share our “wealth”. HONK!
And is it just me or does it seem a little strange that Barack is living in a home that he paid over $1,000,000 for and admits to being a millionaire on the salary of a community organizer and then a State and Federal Senator? Look it up folks, they don’t make that much money! How did he do it?
The house is an easy answer… research his connection with Tony Rezko and the crooked deals that were made to obtain his home in Illinois… it is public knowledge and easily found. And this man that is now indicted on multiple felony charges and on his way to federal prison was the man behind Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign finances! Can you say question of judgment?
Speaking of the question of judgment, how can we allow a man that does not see the connection to William Ayers as wrong-headed at the least and in my opinion, outright dangerous and reckless, to be our next President. I have borrowed the following facts from the National Republican Trust PAC ( http://www.nationalrepublicantrust.com/ayersfactsheet.html ), all of which I have personally researched and believe to be 100% accurate:
Background: William Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground, a radical leftist group that from 1969 to the mid-'70s conducted several bombings of government institutions. Ayers served on the group's Central Committee. The Weather Underground bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, military installations, and police stations. In all, seven people were killed. In 1981, two police officers and one security guard were killed by members of the Weather Underground in the robbery of a Brinks truck in New York state. After Ayers married Bernardine Dohrn, also a member of the Weather Underground (who was described by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover as "the most dangerous woman in America"), they settled in Chicago.
Fact: Bernardine Dohrn had this to say in response to the Charles Manson murders, which she romanticized as a revolutionary coup at a Flint, Mich., Weatherman War Council in December 1969: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!" Dohrn later stated this was meant as a "joke."
Fact: In 1969, Bernardine Dohrn and other members of the Weather Underground traveled to Cuba and met with representatives of the North Vietnam and Cuban governments.
Fact: In 1970, Ayers explained what the Weather Underground was all about: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home; kill your parents; that's where it's really at."
Fact: Both Ayers and Dohrn lived on the run from authorities from approximately 1970 to 1980. The case against Ayers and Dohrn was dropped due to illegal wiretaps and prosecutor misconduct. The FBI was conducting "black bag jobs," or illegal break-ins, in their pursuit of the Weather Underground. Some of these black bag jobs were authorized by Mark Felt, later to be known as "Deep Throat" of Watergate fame.
Fact: Shortly after turning themselves in, Dohrn and Ayers became legal guardians of the son of former members of the Weather Underground, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, after they were convicted of murder for their roles in a 1981 armored car robbery. Two police officers and one Brinks guard were killed in the robbery.
Fact: Starting in the mid-'90s, Ayers and Obama served on the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Project. They served together on the board for approximately seven years. Ayers and Obama were tasked with the oversight of a $100 million budget. The board, under Obama's chairmanship the Annenberg project gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bill Ayers' projects promoting alternative schools.
["Anderson Cooper 360," CNN, Oct. 6, 2008]
Fact: From 1984 to 1988, Bernardine Dohrn was employed by the prestigious Chicago law firm Sidley Austin. She was hired by Howard Trienens, the head of the firm at that time and someone who knew Thomas G. Ayers, Bill's father. However, Dohrn's criminal record has prevented her from being admitted to either the New York or Illinois bar. "Dohrn didn't get a [law] license because she's stubborn . . . She wouldn't say she's sorry."
[Chicago Tribune, May 18, 2008]
Fact: In 1991, Dohrn was hired by Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, as an adjunct professor of law, with the title "clinical associate professor of law." Thomas Ayers was a long-time member of the Northwestern Board of Trustees, and was named life trustee in 1987.
[Source: Feb. 7, 2008 speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC]
Fact: In 1994, Dohrn was quoted on her political beliefs: "I still see myself as a radical."
[Chepesiuk, Ron, "Sixties Radicals, Then and Now: Candid Conversations
With Those Who Shaped the Era," McFarland & Company, Inc]
Fact: In 1995, Obama's first autobiography is released. In it he writes of his years in college, associating with radicals. "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets . . . When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated."
[Obama, Barack, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,
Random House, Pages 100-101]
Fact: In 1995, Ayers and Dorn opened their Chicago Hyde Park home to host a political coming-out party for Barack Obama, when he ran for the state Senate. Someone who was at this party for Obama wrote that Ayers and Dohrn were launching him, "introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread."
[Politico.com, Feb. 22, 2008]
Fact: From 1999-2002, Ayers and Obama served together on a second charitable foundation, The Woods Fund. While at the Woods Fund, they gave money to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church, which Obama attended, and a children and family center, where Dohrn worked.
["Anderson Cooper 360," CNN, Oct. 6, 2008]
Fact: In a 1996 interview, one year after hosting Barack Obama's coming-out party in their home, Ayers and Dohrn were profiled by "The NewsHour" on PBS. Ayers was asked, "Looking back, would you do it differently now?" He stated, "I doubt it . . . probably not."
Fact: Question to Obama in 2000, during his run for the U.S. Congress: "What is your argument, based on the one term that you served in the [Illinois] Senate so far, that makes you prepared for the Congress?"
Answer: "I would argue . . . my experience previous to elected office equips me for the job . . . I've chaired major philanthropic efforts in the city, like the Chicago Annenberg Challenge that gave $50 million to prompt school reform efforts throughout the city."
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-45A6I-N5I&NR=1]
Fact: In 2001, Ayers made a $200 campaign contribution to Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama.
Fact: In promoting his book "Fugitive Days" Ayers told The New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." When asked if he would "do it all again," he said, "I don't want to discount the possibility."
Fact: Just days after 9/11, Ayers was quoted in The New York Times Magazine: "This society is not a just and decent place . . . We're living in a country where the election was stolen, and we didn't have a mass uprising. It's incredible. We're all asleep. The pundits all pat themselves on the back: 'God, what a great country'. . . It makes me want to puke."
Fact: In 2001, Ayers posed for a photograph in Chicago magazine, accompanying a profile of his book, which shows him stepping on an American flag.
[www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/August-2001/No-Regrets/]
Fact: In a 2001 profile, a writer quotes Ayers as saying, "I think there will be another mass political movement, because I believe that the kind of injustice that is built into our world will not go quietly into the night."
[Chicago magazine, August 2001 online edition]
Fact: In his 2001 memoir, "Fugitive Days," Ayers writes of the time he took part in bombing the Pentagon. "Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue; the birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them."
Fact: In 2008, Ayers again denies he was ever a terrorist, writing on his blog: "The September 11 attacks were acts of terrorism, and the U.S. bombings in Viet Nam for a decade were acts of terrorism. Terrorism is never justifiable, even in a just cause . . . I've never advocated terrorism, never participated in it, never defended it. The U.S. government, by contrast, does it routinely and defends the use of it in its own cause consistently."
[billayers.wordpress.com/2008/04/page/2/]
Fact: In the 2008 presidential race, Obama downplays his association with Ayers, saying that he is just a "guy who lives in my neighborhood."
[The Washington Post, Oct. 7, 2008]
Fact: David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, attempted to downplay the Obama/Ayers relationship: "Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school . . . They're certainly friendly; they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together."
[Politico.com, Ben Smith, Feb. 26, 2008]
Fact: Obama's children never attended school with the Ayers children. Obama's children are ages 9 and 6. Ayers and Dohrn have two adult children, and they adopted a son from their fellow Weather Underground terrorist Kathy Boudin. That son was born in 1981.
Fact: Chicago's Hyde Park residents speak of Obama and Ayers' relationship. "Neighbors said it's only natural that Obama would know Ayers and Dohrn, who often open their homes for gatherings filled with lively discussions about politics, arts, and social issues. Obama and his wife 'are part of our neighborhood and part of our social circle,' said Elizabeth Chandler, a neighbor of Ayers'."
[ChicagoTribune.com, April 17, 2008]
My friends, again this is a question of judgment… It is this simple in my mind… If I was asked to sit on a committee or the board of a “charitable foundation” and I discovered that one of the other members was the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, I would not participate! I would not sit in the same room, no matter the cause, with a woman that glorified the sick and twisted actions of Charles Manson! Yet, Barack seems to have had no problem with the relationship… because their terrorism occurred when he was only eight years old. Barack’s actions and associations are not fiction… they are public record… spoken by his own mouth! Consider this; these associations would prevent Obama from passing the background check and Top Secret Access Clearance that he would need to be employed by the Secret Service or the FBI… Yet he will soon be their leader and they will be forced to protect him… And he will gain automatic security clearance as the President!
As bad as all of these things are in my mind, the things that scare me even more are the possibilities of the Senate becoming filibuster proof and Hillary Clinton receiving a Black Robe in the Supreme Court… a promise made by Obama that I have heard articulated by both Nancy Pelosi and Bill Clinton within the last month… Can you hear the freight train?! Do you value the Bill of Rights? One of the first things they will do is silence conservative talk radio through the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”. Followed closely by the elimination of the Second Amendment… the one that protects all the rest!
If Barack is elected and the things mentioned above occur, we will no longer be citizens of a Republic, but subjects of a Parliament. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will be the most powerful people in the world… they will dictate what is “best” for us and Barack will sign it into law… with no way to institute the checks and balances that are the foundation of our Constitutional government. And I am afraid, based upon what we have witnessed before in cases such as Roe v. Wade, our Supreme Court will legislate from the bench rather than interpret the constitutionality of the laws that congress passes, which is their only charge under our Constitution… setting the stage for a Parliament at best, a Dynasty at worst. Recently, Supreme Court Justices Alito and Roberts both said that if Obama is elected, we can kiss our Constitution goodbye for the rest of our lives!
Finally, over 60% of the countries in the world are being infiltrated by Muslims practicing a form of radical Islam known as Jihad (which means CHANGE… Are you seeing a pattern here?). It is estimated that 10-15% of the 1.2 billion Muslims in the world agree with Jihad. That means that 100-150,000 are right here in America. Yet Obama does not believe we have a border security or illegal alien problem. He also states that he is willing to sit down with the leaders of terrorist nations and regimes and negotiate without any pre-conditions? Is this the man that we want to carry the “Nuclear Football”. He can say what he wants about his allegiance to America, but I am still having a tough time getting my brain cells to wrap around a guy that will not allow anyone to use his full name BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
Maybe my fears are unjustified. Maybe his other examples of judgment are not indicative of the way he would lead this nation, but I am not willing to take that chance. I am not willing to let our nation be another failed experiment in Socialism, or Marxism, or Fascism, or Communism, or any other “ism” that is not found within the sacred words of our Constitution.
Do not be fooled by the smooth talk and charisma of Obama… I don’t know about you, but it makes me sick to my stomach to see the videos on YouTube of the young children singing songs and chanting praises to Obama… A charismatic leader in Germany used the same tactic once and look at the price the world paid! I have spent a great deal of time reading and studying the Rise and Fall of The Third Reich and I have to tell you a cold chill went up my spine when I heard Barack Hussein Obama’s acceptance speech in the Colorado stadium recently… All that was missing at the end of his speech, which had whipped his star-struck crowd into a fervor, was the “Heil Obama!” at the end.
Please take a stand in the next 19 days to speak up… make a difference… exercise your Constitutional right to express your concerns about the government and then vote for John McCain… a true American patriot who is a Federalist and has always put his country first and will continue to do so. (I do not think he is perfect by any means, but he has his head on straight in the areas that are most critical to the survival of this nation and our Constitution at this time!)
Finally, pray for our country – God will bless the righteous – God will bless this country if we do not turn our back on Him who gave it to us! The Constitution is hanging by a thread; we can save it if we take action now!

Someone who was at this party for Obama wrote that Ayers and Dohrn were launching him, "introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread."

Fact: From 1999-2002, Ayers and Obama served together on a second charitable foundation, The Woods Fund. While at the Woods Fund, they gave money to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church, which Obama attended, and a children and family center, where Dohrn worked.
["Anderson Cooper 360," CNN, Oct. 6, 2008]
Fact: In a 1996 interview, one year after hosting Barack Obama's coming-out party in their home, Ayers and Dohrn were profiled by "The NewsHour" on PBS. Ayers was asked, "Looking back, would you do it differently now?" He stated, "I doubt it . . . probably not."
Fact: Question to Obama in 2000, during his run for the U.S. Congress: "What is your argument, based on the one term that you served in the [Illinois] Senate so far, that makes you prepared for the Congress?"
Answer: "I would argue . . . my experience previous to elected office equips me for the job . . . I've chaired major philanthropic efforts in the city, like the Chicago Annenberg Challenge that gave $50 million to prompt school reform efforts throughout the city."

Fact: In 2001, Ayers made a $200 campaign contribution to Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama.
Fact: In promoting his book "Fugitive Days" Ayers told The New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." When asked if he would "do it all again," he said, "I don't want to discount the possibility."
Fact: Just days after 9/11, Ayers was quoted in The New York Times Magazine: "This society is not a just and decent place . . . We're living in a country where the election was stolen, and we didn't have a mass uprising. It's incredible. We're all asleep. The pundits all pat themselves on the back: 'God, what a great country'. . . It makes me want to puke."
Fact: In 2001, Ayers posed for a photograph in Chicago magazine, accompanying a profile of his book, which shows him stepping on an American flag.

Fact: In a 2001 profile, a writer quotes Ayers as saying, "I think there will be another mass political movement, because I believe that the kind of injustice that is built into our world will not go quietly into the night."
[Chicago magazine, August 2001 online edition]
Fact: In his 2001 memoir, "Fugitive Days," Ayers writes of the time he took part in bombing the Pentagon. "Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue; the birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them."
Fact: In 2008, Ayers again denies he was ever a terrorist, writing on his blog: "The September 11 attacks were acts of terrorism, and the U.S. bombings in Viet Nam for a decade were acts of terrorism. Terrorism is never justifiable, even in a just cause . . . I've never advocated terrorism, never participated in it, never defended it. The U.S. government, by contrast, does it routinely and defends the use of it in its own cause consistently."

Fact: In the 2008 presidential race, Obama downplays his association with Ayers, saying that he is just a "guy who lives in my neighborhood."
[The Washington Post, Oct. 7, 2008]
Fact: David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, attempted to downplay the Obama/Ayers relationship: "Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school . . . They're certainly friendly; they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together."
[Politico.com, Ben Smith, Feb. 26, 2008]
Fact: Obama's children never attended school with the Ayers children. Obama's children are ages 9 and 6. Ayers and Dohrn have two adult children, and they adopted a son from their fellow Weather Underground terrorist Kathy Boudin. That son was born in 1981.
Fact: Chicago's Hyde Park residents speak of Obama and Ayers' relationship. "Neighbors said it's only natural that Obama would know Ayers and Dohrn, who often open their homes for gatherings filled with lively discussions about politics, arts, and social issues. Obama and his wife 'are part of our neighborhood and part of our social circle,' said Elizabeth Chandler, a neighbor of Ayers'."

My friends, again this is a question of judgment… It is this simple in my mind… If I was asked to sit on a committee or the board of a “charitable foundation” and I discovered that one of the other members was the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, I would not participate! I would not sit in the same room, no matter the cause, with a woman that glorified the sick and twisted actions of Charles Manson! Yet, Barack seems to have had no problem with the relationship… because their terrorism occurred when he was only eight years old. Barack’s actions and associations are not fiction… they are public record… spoken by his own mouth! Consider this; these associations would prevent Obama from passing the background check and Top Secret Access Clearance that he would need to be employed by the Secret Service or the FBI… Yet he will soon be their leader and they will be forced to protect him… And he will gain automatic security clearance as the President!
As bad as all of these things are in my mind, the things that scare me even more are the possibilities of the Senate becoming filibuster proof and Hillary Clinton receiving a Black Robe in the Supreme Court… a promise made by Obama that I have heard articulated by both Nancy Pelosi and Bill Clinton within the last month… Can you hear the freight train?! Do you value the Bill of Rights? One of the first things they will do is silence conservative talk radio through the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”. Followed closely by the elimination of the Second Amendment… the one that protects all the rest!
If Barack is elected and the things mentioned above occur, we will no longer be citizens of a Republic, but subjects of a Parliament. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will be the most powerful people in the world… they will dictate what is “best” for us and Barack will sign it into law… with no way to institute the checks and balances that are the foundation of our Constitutional government. And I am afraid, based upon what we have witnessed before in cases such as Roe v. Wade, our Supreme Court will legislate from the bench rather than interpret the constitutionality of the laws that congress passes, which is their only charge under our Constitution… setting the stage for a Parliament at best, a Dynasty at worst. Recently, Supreme Court Justices Alito and Roberts both said that if Obama is elected, we can kiss our Constitution goodbye for the rest of our lives!
Finally, over 60% of the countries in the world are being infiltrated by Muslims practicing a form of radical Islam known as Jihad (which means CHANGE… Are you seeing a pattern here?). It is estimated that 10-15% of the 1.2 billion Muslims in the world agree with Jihad. That means that 100-150,000 are right here in America. Yet Obama does not believe we have a border security or illegal alien problem. He also states that he is willing to sit down with the leaders of terrorist nations and regimes and negotiate without any pre-conditions? Is this the man that we want to carry the “Nuclear Football”. He can say what he wants about his allegiance to America, but I am still having a tough time getting my brain cells to wrap around a guy that will not allow anyone to use his full name BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
Maybe my fears are unjustified. Maybe his other examples of judgment are not indicative of the way he would lead this nation, but I am not willing to take that chance. I am not willing to let our nation be another failed experiment in Socialism, or Marxism, or Fascism, or Communism, or any other “ism” that is not found within the sacred words of our Constitution.
Do not be fooled by the smooth talk and charisma of Obama… I don’t know about you, but it makes me sick to my stomach to see the videos on YouTube of the young children singing songs and chanting praises to Obama… A charismatic leader in Germany used the same tactic once and look at the price the world paid! I have spent a great deal of time reading and studying the Rise and Fall of The Third Reich and I have to tell you a cold chill went up my spine when I heard Barack Hussein Obama’s acceptance speech in the Colorado stadium recently… All that was missing at the end of his speech, which had whipped his star-struck crowd into a fervor, was the “Heil Obama!” at the end.
Please take a stand in the next 19 days to speak up… make a difference… exercise your Constitutional right to express your concerns about the government and then vote for John McCain… a true American patriot who is a Federalist and has always put his country first and will continue to do so. (I do not think he is perfect by any means, but he has his head on straight in the areas that are most critical to the survival of this nation and our Constitution at this time!)
Finally, pray for our country – God will bless the righteous – God will bless this country if we do not turn our back on Him who gave it to us! The Constitution is hanging by a thread; we can save it if we take action now!

A piece of me died with my fellow firefighters on September 11th, 2001... May we never forget the 343 brave heroes who were murdered on that dreadful day and sacrificed all in the selfless service of others.
Please pause today to thank God for their service and to thank someone who serves us today...
