As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the following statistics: The annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006:

About 20,000 people have drowned in the US since war began yet drownings are seldom reported.

----------------------------------------------------------

During the reign of President (Nobel Peace Prize) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 - US military fatalities! These figures indicate that the media and liberal politicians present only those "facts" which support their agenda-driven reporting.

Examine the fatalities by Race; over the past three years in the Iraqi Freedom military action:

European descent (white) .....74.31%

Hispanic ............................. 10.74%

Black ................................... 9.67%

Asian ................................. 1.81%

White American Hater Obama

Michelle Obama should be ashamed of herself for stirring up negative emotions while presenting herself as America’s potential First Lady. Stepping into the shoes of Laura or Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan or Jackie Kennedy requires seasoned preparation and an open mind for the hearts of the American people. All of the American people not just an identifiable segment of the population based on skin color or leftist thinking.

Mrs. Obama has had a chip on her shoulder about Caucasian people dating back as early as her senior thesis at Princeton University in 1985. Her campaign lipskittle about never having been proud of being an American prior to campaigning at her husband’s side, pales by contrast to the pouty prattling in her thesis on how “Whitie” has made it impossible for blacks to assimilate into mainstream America. Is she kidding?

Her “White Man” is the root of all evil document might have had some relevance to Black Americans in the 1950’s, but to create a document which positions white Americans as obstacles to blacks in the late 1980’s is more telling about her own animus for Caucasians than it is about any reality of life transitioning into the 90’s.

Where is her razor sharp tongue for the black men who have abandoned the mothers of their children and thereby creating an entire welfare class in America? Where is her discernment over the complete disparity between minorities who were given preferential treatment over Caucasians as a result of affirmative action? Did white women get a front of the line pass as Blacks were being given jobs and college admissions based on fulfilling racial quotas?

Michelle needs to read Blacks In the Ghetto or Civil Rights and the American Negro. Both were 1960’s eye-openers for progressive thinkers. The works were among multitudes of others dissecting and analyzing the past and future for Blacks in America. By 1985 when she took a swing at Caucasians, she was actually perpetuating a great divide between Black and White America. Michelle Obama is not a healer or reconciler; she is a divider and finger pointer.

I had an NAACP Wilt Chamberlain poster in my room in the 1960’s. Black is not a barrier to relationship for me. However, I do not appreciate being blamed for every gosh darn problem that Black Americans encounter. Michelle Obama is a quintessential White American hating racist. She would blame White Americans or Caucasians in general for her myopic perception of all the ills non-whites have dealt with from the beginning of time.

I was a young female, in the 70’s. No one handed me a free pass or a break because I was White. I didn’t have to point my finger at White men to get ahead in the business world. I relied on my intellect, positive personality and God’s good grace to succeed. Today I work in an industry dominated by gay, liberal men. As a conservative, heterosexual female, I face black listing, being named as a conservative on websites and being shut out from the good old boy network.

Blaming other people for failed deals or opportunities would be asinine, inane and somewhat prejudicial. Unlike the whining, white hating Michelle Obama I believe that focusing on a positive outcome is far more productive and authentic. There is absolutely nothing to gain by naming any class or ethnicity as an obstacle. If Michelle Obama’s sour historical attitude toward Caucasians is an indication of what the world can expect from her as America’s First Lady, shame be on anyone who would support her husband.

The only way to stop prejudice is to walk past it. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made careers and millions of dollars by keeping the illusion of a Black and White American divide alive. In reality, Americans do not live in the 1950’s Sidney Poitier, No Way Out movie.

Wake up Michelle. We get it. You are not proud of being an American. You blame White Americans for all the problems Black Americans have ever faced and you are desperately seeking your position at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue so that you can give us all a dose of that venomous tongue you so adeptly wag before us.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S THESIS http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html

Obama Wants Change. Not The Same Old Faces

http://www.breitbart.tv/html/52804.html

http://www.obamatruth.org/

But they are all around. Every where ...... the same old faces. Where is the new leadership? Where are the new ideas? Who is on the new team? I am still LMFAO .... it is a fairytale.

Who is Barack Obama?

1- U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama

2-Father: Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya;

Mother: Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas.

His parents divorced when he was two and his Father returned to Kenya.

His Mother subsequently married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia.

3- When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia.

4- Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

5- Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He claims that "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

6- Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was, temporary. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over His son's education.

7- Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam.

8- Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

It is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's presidential candidacy. Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, there is no better way to start than at the highest level.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

And the Anti-Christ Is Born Again

"Be not afraid; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of Chicago a Savior, who is me, Barack the Democrat."

BEFORE YOU VOTE .....

McCain voted to defund Planned Parenthood last year, Barack didn't and would likely expand Planned Parenthood's taxpayer funding.

McCain voted to ban partial-birth abortion, Barack didn't and would likely reverse the partial-birth abortion ban.

McCain voted for Roberts and Alito and made the case for them in the media, Barack didn't.

McCain has never voted for a tax increase, Barack will increase taxes.

McCain will continue the Bush tax cuts, Barack will end them.

McCain will end pork-barrel spending, Barack supports the endowment of projects like the Woodstock Museum with taxpayer funding.

McCain will not cut and run in Iraq, Barack will work with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Harry Reid to do just that and he has promised to sit down
with Muslim leaders to find compromise and more opportunities for
America to support the leaders.

LMFAO!

LMFAO – If you don’t understand, you are out of touch and probably too old to be reading my BLOG. McCain, the Phoenix from Phoenix has lived up to the mythology of the name. Having risen from a nose dive to capture, apparently at least mathematically, the GOP nomination, the conservative base is threatening suicide voting in November.

But to be a fly on Bloomberg’s wall. The GOP base will refuse to vote for McCain; Ann Coulter will campaign for Hillary. Liberal Democrats are rushing to support an inexperienced socialist in lieu of Hillary in a mass exodus away from another Clinton White House. Democrats are promising to support McCain if Hillary captures the nomination.

November 2008 promises to be an historic election. America could have its first woman or black President. Both the GOP and Democrats are scrambling to find money to go on.

Both parties are dysfunctional. Yes, Virginia, it will be a new day in November. If the nonsense continues, Bloomberg will win by a landslide by simply taking the disenfranchised and party defectors.

Perhaps the corruption of corrupt politicians has finally caused a long over due implosion of the system.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

We must ask ourselves, do we want an inexperienced DREAMER who naively forecasts baseless change?

Do we need a woman who wears her cold, passionless heart on her sleeve?

Do we need a man so out of touch with the times that he could never relate to the contemporary issues?

Or, do we need COMPLETE change?

Whatever the outcome for November 2008, it needs not to be one of angry rhetoric or punitive reaction. Calm cool heads must prevail. If Bloomberg does not offer a realistic alternative, and the race is McCain v Clinton, consider how lucky we will be for not having fallen into the hands of the Evil Wizard George Soros by proxy.

And in the end, consider Jefferson’s words.
