for all the supposed half-assed tabloid dirt you can make up about Palin. Maybe you can drill for some oil and make yourselves useful while you're up there.
Bands of superstitious "witch doctors" are a reality in Kenya that terrorize and kill people, and so this missionary makes mention of it while praying. You know damn well, this says nothing about Sarah Palin.
But 20 years of Obama listening to Black Liberation Theology, you ignore. Wright says "God damn America," and no one has a problem. All the research done (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212856075765367.html) about Obama's work with Ayers on the CAC, his only stint of executive experience that was a total failure, not to mention the character and judgement implications, you ignore. The fact that Obama has forcibly been covering this up, you ignore. The fact that he flat out lied, saying Ayers was just some guy in the neighborhood that he knew, you ignore.
You have a war hero vs. a man who a domestic terrorist saw enough of a kindred in to trust, and all you want to do is scrape the bottom of the barrel about Sarah Palin's church. Do you talk about how Dhorn laughed about the Manson murders? No, you talk about a missionary helping a third-world, poor superstitious population. It is sad if this is all you are capable of, even here at Salon.
Is this really Barack's idea of leadership? Go ahead and take care of it guys, call me if you need me. This is how he shows America he's prepared and able to lead our country in a crisis.
Despite the cynicism on the left, a leader steps up when action needs to be taken, and this is what McCain has done. Just as he stepped up to win a war rather than a campaign, when this pans out America will see he did what needed to be done for the country.
...putting his self-interest ahead of the good of the country. He was elected and is paid to legislate, and at a time when immediate legislation is crucial, he puts it on the back burner. This is the most important vote in his entire career, and he doesn't want to go to Washington.
McCain is showing decisive leadership, his commitment to Country First, and willingness to lead in crisis.
True colors have come out this week on both sides. Biden defines patriotism as wealthy people paying higher taxes for those who do not pay taxes to receive a handout, while not willing to reach into his own pocket to give more than 0.3% of his income to charity. Obama hasn't given much more, and now we see is willing to watch, and do nothing to help, his own flesh and blood brother George live in a 6x10 hut on $1/month in Kenya. Yet the democratic ticket claims to be the ticket of compassion, and that "we are our brothers' keeper."
It was McCain who warned of the need to reform and regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, even though he has been overall in favor of a free market. He has long recognized this ideology is separate from the greed that can and has derailed it.
Obama was silent on the issue, though now falsely claiming to have given warnings. However, Obama, Clinton, Dodd and Kerry led the opposition to McCain's regulatory reform. It is not surprising that these same four dems are the top recipients of campaign contributions from Fanny and Freddy.
If you're going to flat out deny that Carter was the primary backer of the Ayatollah's revolution, (refering to him as a 'Holy Man'), which began modern terrorism as we know it, and deny that Ahmedinejad believes in the jihad as the primary means of restoring Islamic supremacy in the world (despite his references to it at his U.N. speech), then you have a very skewed view of history. And it is this view, despite seeing 9/11 happen, that places America and democracy in grave danger.
The centuries-old mandate is exactly the same call to subdue and destroy those who do not subscribe to Sharia Law that was used to found Islam in Mecca, spread it throughout Arabia, spread the Ottoman invasion, and today attack the west.
I would reccomend "They Must be Stopped" if you want to truly understand the threat.
Making summary, baseless judgements about someone of whom you know nothing... really surprising from a rabid monkey like you, which only goes to support my point.
Who let you out of your cage without medication again?
