Time Tramples Iwo Jima Image to Push 'War on Global Warming'

By Mark Finkelstein | April 17, 2008 - 13:00 ET

In our nation's history, there are few images more heroic, more sacred in a civil sense, than that of the Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima. Time has now twisted, and enlisted, that image for its "war on global warming."

Time editor Rick Stengel, making his regular Thursday appearance on Morning Joe to tout the week's cover story, naturally thought it was a wonderful idea. He also explained why Time decided to editorialize in favor of a "massive" effort to combat global warming.

Obama's Dubious Past Goes Mainstream

nobody@vox.com(Brenflag) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:10:19 -0700

Yesterday in Puerto Rico, a bombshell fell on Barack Obama’s hopes to at least win a small percentage of primary votes in said jurisdiction (he was only receiving 20% of support in the polls). This “bomb” goes by the name of Larry Sinclair and his allegations of homosexuality and cocaine use against Barack Hussein Obama, which happened to go ‘prime time’ yesterday throughout the Island.

For those of you who do not know the story, Larry Sinclair is a gay man who claims that ‘when Barack Obama was a member of the Illinois Senate he met twice with Larry Sinclair in November 1999 in Chicago, obtained cocaine for the both of them and consumed it (crack cocaine smoked through a glass pipe in the Senator’s case). On both occasions they also participated in consensual sexual acts with each other.’ After his allegations became known through his Youtube video (WATCH HERE), a website (WhiteHouse.com) offered Larry Sinclair money in exchange for his taking of a polygraph test on their site. On the site, they constantly assured the public that they were going to video-record the proceedings and post it on their website, all in hopes of giving full disclosure of the results. As many of you may remember, this supposed video was never posted/published (never has) and, running late on their own schedule, decided to ONLY post a brief description of the “analysis” of the results (supposedly provided by two independent researchers which claimed that he had failed it). Obviously, since the video of the process was never presented to their readers, it automatically opened speculations and accusations from Sinclair himself (and many in the public) that these individuals were probably “paid off” by David Axelrod and the Obama campaign. To prove this point, Sinclair has posted multiple copies of the checks, letters and other documentation with which he claims to demonstrate the contention that he actually passed the test, but was later betrayed by the site with the publishing of the incorrect analysis of his results. Nonetheless, Larry Sinclair continued his quest to expose Obama for what he describes as “his lies and drug addiction”, and continuously attempted to get his allegations heard.

Ever since Sinclair came out with the story, he alleges that his life has been threatened and that his person has been defamed throughout the internet by Obama’s supporters. For this exact reason, Sinclair has brought suit against a couple of these “bloggers” for defamation and threat of violence, both of which he claims are directly linked to the Barack Obama campaign. In relation to this suit, and very recently, (African American) Federal District Judge Henry Kennedy (view BIO HERE) decided to go forward with said case and has allowed discovery of it’s allegations to begin in their entirety, setting up one of the biggest scandals that has ever befallen a Presidential candidate, at least in recent political history. To further complicate the controversy, Sinclair has also sent an affidavit to the Chicago Police discussing the ‘Donald Young connection’ and is aggressively urging a further investigation into his death and connection to the Obama camp.

This additional and strange leg of the story claims that a recently murdered (gay) Choir Master of TRINITY UNITED CHURCH, by the name of Donald Young, contacted Sinclair multiple times about this whole issue of Obama’s relationship with Sinclair (apparently under the instructions of the Obama campaign), even admitting to having homosexual relations with Obama himself. Here is the copy of Sinclair’s affidavit to the Chicago Police: CLICK HERE The subsequent death of this gay man (who belonged to Obama’s church) is quite mysterious and it has not reached the Mainstream National news. Nonetheless, you can still read the following story from CBS, in which they simply mention this very violent and nebulous death in Chicago: CLICK HERE All of this disturbing information will probably have to come out with greater detail during the mentioned Sinclair court case, since it is a crucial aspect of Sinclair’s claim that the Obama campaign has launched a concerted effort to defame and threaten his life.

Now, all of this controversy has reached the important primary “State” of Puerto Rico, were the show “Super Xclusivo: La Comay”, the highest rated and most popular show on the island (for the past decade), dedicated an entire hour to the discussion of this story and to the interview of Larry Sinclair himself (you can watch a custom recording of yesterday evening’s airing of “La Comay” by clicking HERE). The program’s style and it’s “classification” is quite difficult to explain to the majority of Americans, since this Country doesn’t have an equivalent. For the sake of definition, let’s just describe it as a “gossip, news, commentary, investigative-reporting, and comedy-variety show.” As an example of their influence and importance within local culture (and to dismiss the speculation that this program may be “inconsequential”), the program’s impact is so dramatic that every Gubernatorial (and legislative) candidate in recent Puertorican history has gone ‘live’ on said show to be interviewed by both hosts. A few years back, a highly controversial but popular ex Governor (Pedro Rosello) decided to run again for the Governorship of the Island, but refused to go on said show (Super Xclusivo) saying that he “didn’t speak to dolls”. Because of this, his popularity went down precipitously (also helped by getting ‘ripped’ on a daily basis by the show itself) and he lost the Governorship by a wide margin. The man who actually dedicated most of his time to being interviewed by the program’s hosts, and who took the show seriously (Anibal Acevedo Vila) ended up winning the election (and thus invited both ‘characters’ to the Governor mansion to celebrate his victory). His candid participation made him appear attuned with “the common people”, and also gave him wide exposure, since this program is turned on in almost every Puertorican house at 6:00 PM.

Therefore, this exposure to Sinclair’s story is HUGE in Puerto Rico, since it is not only getting ventilated by the most popular show on the island, but it is also getting attention by it’s parent company Televicentro (the highest rated channel on the island), which happens to be the only remaining Puerto Rico owned Media and News source on the Island. Interestingly enough, this controversy is not only damaging to Obama because of the drug-use aspect (smoking marijuana in Puerto Rico could easily label you a ‘junky’ by most), but an even more dramatically damaging aspect of the story is the whole “homosexual” dynamic of the story. Puerto Rico, after all, is a highly socially-conservative Nation, and the idea of having a “gay” President (even a small town mayor) is disturbing enough to ostracize Obama from almost every serious political discourse (and public support). It is well known among most Puertoricans (even the most Liberals) that even slight rumors about the supposed sexual “flimsiness” of a particular candidate is enough to destroy their political hopes in PR politics (case in point: Bhatia).

For Barack Obama, this couldn’t have come at a worse time since he was expecting to at least survive the Island’s primary election with a few proportional delegates. But now, with this story, and with his only main supporter in the Island’s political elite (the highly unpopular Governor of Puerto Rico) now facing Federal criminal charges, this controversy will assure a clear loss among the few primary participants that will provide with 55 delegates to the Democratic victor (the amount of voters will be small in proportion to it’s population since there is no political tradition in PR of participating in U.S. primaries).

The question about all of this remains: Will this have a trickle down effect into the United States? Unlike American journalists, the Puertorican press WILL ask Obama about this controversy if he ever decides to show himself on the Island, whenever it’s primaries become inevitable. Will the Mainstream Media pick up the fact that the whole Sinclair story is now MAINSTREAM in Puerto Rico, or will they decide to ignore it? It is clear that even if reporters in the United States decide to air a criticism of Puerto Rico’s “negligence” or “audacity” in publishing this story, Sinclair will automatically become the main theme and will thus inevitably spread throughout the Country.

Day by day, this story approaches critical mass, and we can slowly start getting ready to prepare for the diverse names that may begin to be utilized to describe it; GAY GATE, CRACK GATE, SINCLAIR GATE, LIMO GATE, et al. Irrespective of the veracity or integrity of this story, it is nonetheless true that these allegations will eventually come to fruition among the corporate press (maybe closer to November), and it is now only left to the Mainstream Media and/or the Obama campaign to deflect it as best they can and see if they can survive it. Apparently, Donald Young and Larry Sinclair have just become household names in Puerto Rico, it will be only a matter of time until they become part of the American lingo as well.

Stop immigration flood

Eagle Forum: Stop immigration flood

By PAUL PAYNE
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
Sunday, March 30, 2008

Nearly 200 people attended a Rohnert Park conference Saturday about maintaining American sovereignty in the face of rising globalism, and stemming the tide of illegal immigration from Mexico.

Speakers played to the fears of a receptive audience, espousing views that warned of a possible merger of the United States with Mexico and Canada into a North American Union, and denouncing "anchor babies," a term used to describe children born in America to illegal immigrants that they claim overwhelm schools and the nation's system of medical care.

But other attendees said the overriding message of the annual conference of the Eagle Forum of California was to get America to simply enforce the laws that exist.

"It's not a hate thing or a prejudice thing," Scott Weiss, a salesman from Santa Rosa, said during a break. "It's about laws. We either live by the rule of law or we don't."

Eagle Forum is a conservative group founded by Phyllis Schlafly in 1967 that claims a national membership of 80,000 people. It focuses on social issues, describing itself as a pro-family, anti-feminist and supporting establishment of English as the official language of the United States.

According to its Web site, Eagle Forum opposes all variations of amnesty and guest-worker visas. Its first task is to assimilate the millions of non-English-speaking foreign nationals who are legal residents, the Web site states.

The daylong conference at the Doubletree Hotel included talks from conservative speakers such as Schlafly, columnist Jerome Corsi and U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, a former Republican presidential candidate from San Diego County.

It drew people from across the state, including a large contingent from Sonoma County, said Orlean Koehle, state president, who spoke about the emergence of the North American Union and its European parallel.

Pamphlets floated around the room urging a boycott on Mexican travel and vendors offered documentaries claiming to debunk global warming, among other issues.

No opposing views were voiced, but Roberto Garcia, a United Farm Workers organizer in Santa Rosa who plans to be part of an immigrant march today in celebration of Cesar Chavez, said Eagle Forum members appear to live in a bubble when it comes to the issue of immigration.

"How about we focus on who's preparing their dinner tonight?" said Garcia, who did not attend. "That nice wine they like to sip? Who picked those grapes? They don't take into consideration that it is the immigrant community that keeps our country, the U. S. of A., moving forward."

Among the most strident speakers was Barbara Coe, an anti-illegal immigration leader from Anaheim, who said the flood of illegal immigrants is overwhelming public schools, hospitals and the criminal justice system.

"How ironic that our government slams the front door on terrorists, but they are welcomed via the back door," said Coe, director of the California Coalition of Immigration Control.

"Taxpayers are footing the bill for these so-called instant citizens," Coe said, referring to children born in the United States to immigrants.

The meeting drew a large number of senior citizens. Among the few younger people to attend was Joseph Nicolini, 20, of Lodi.

Standing in the lobby with his brother Paul, 16, Nicolini said the government must stop subsidizing illegals and close off the border.

"It's our country and we don't want to see it go down," Nicolini said.

Koehle, who makes her home in Santa Rosa, has organized several statewide meetings in Sonoma County. She called the focus of this year's conference, American sovereignty, one of the key issues facing the nation.

"We feel this is a major concern," she said.

Does Obama know America

Does Obama know America?

By James Lewis

When I hear liberals talk about this country I don't recognize the place. It's just as if they never talk to their own neighbors or go to their local market. The Left seems to constantly misunderstand normal people in a really paranoid fashion.

Jeremiah Wright is not the only rage-and-fear-peddler on that side of the political fence. Liberals apparently believe they can read minds, spotting racism and evil where nobody else can find it. That's what they keep telling us, after all.

I just don't recognize "Ameri-KKK-a," in the Rev. Wright's witty little phrase. In the real America of the last half century you have to turn over a lot of rocks to find the evil racist, sexist, homophobic meanies. Instead, I see a country that is desperately working to do good in the world.

Now this is the big, unanswered question about Barack Obama --- does he really understand America as it is? Or does he fall for the paranoid narrative of the Left? That is crucial. If he has internalized the Left's view of America, he will try to make the country pay and pay for all the wrongs, real or imagined, of the distant past. The country will be permanently guilt-tripped.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and a white mother, went to school in Indonesia, then Hawaii again --- with its own racial divisions between native Hawaiians, whites, blacks, and people with Japanese ancestry. Hawaii is our loveliest state, but it has a record of racial divisions. Since Obama was born, native Hawaiian have reasserted their original ownership of the islands very vigorously. There's no way you can miss that, growing up in Honolulu.

After high school Obama spent a few years at Occidental College in California, then Columbia, then worked in leftwing law firms in New York, then attended Harvard Law, and finally settled down in Jeremiah Wright's part of Chicago.

None of those places resembles normal, middle-class America. All of them are steeped in racial tensions, as viewed from the Left. Even Princeton is obsessed with race, as Michelle Obama wrote in her college thesis.

We know that Rev. Wright's church teaches people to avoid "middleclassness." You have to keep people on the boil, enraged at white America, so they must not get too comfortable with their lives.

That seems to be Barack's idea of America. It is certainly a part of America, but it is the angriest, most depressed, violent, and troubled part. So our likely Democrat candidate has never lived an ordinary life in a normal, middle class neighborhood. Add in Jeremiah Wright as a political mentor for 20 years, and you have to ask: Does Senator Obama really know this country?

As Mark Steyn hinted at the other day, Obama's autobiography reads like a work of fiction. He is making up his own identity the way a novelist would make up a fictional character. Teenagers often do that, and people who come from very different cultures. I know an Eastern European who travels around America constantly interpreting everything out loud, like an anthropologist from Mars. As others have pointed out, Obama seems to have adopted his mother's role as an anthropologist.

He writes about himself:

"Only Malcolm X's autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me. The blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will. All the other stuff, the talk of blue-eyed devils and apocalypse, was incidental to that program, I decided. ...

"And yet, even as I imagine myself following Malcolm's call, one line in the book stayed with me. He spoke of a wish he'd once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged." (italics added)

There's something to be said for a president who understands other cultures, but not to the point of misunderstanding his own. Truman didn't live abroad, and neither did Lincoln or Reagan. Yet Truman began the integration of the armed forces and Lincoln led the deadliest war in US history and freed the slaves. Reagan won the Cold War. None of them were the blood-thirsty maniacs of liberal nightmares.

Obama's expatriate mother, who raised him until age ten, was apparently a zealous anti-American. His father was absent, an African Prince out of a boyhood fantasy. All his life Obama moved from one little subculture to the next, all the way to Columbia, Harvard Law and Trinity UCC. Everywhere he went he encounted zealous anti-Americans, beginning with his mother. Just think about that.

No wonder it's hard to recognize his notion of this country. Barack Obama could profit from ten years away from the Senate, away from the elites, away from the self-destructive paranoia of the inner cities. Maybe he could try to run a business, like George McGovern. Maybe he should try teaching --- at a neighborhood school, not a law school.

Get to know the real America, then maybe run for president.
