Is that quote really right? And McCain didn't use the numerous soundbites from it in his campaign? I know McCain was McLame and things were very weird during that election, but still ... I'd like some proof that Obama actually said that for the record, or even he was caught saying it off the record. |

"There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing." (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???) Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren.

This is no longer nor will be the country we were born to. when subversives gain power, they destroy all those that may eventually go against them, so, the ruling minority has to ignore all law that applies against them and destroy the lives and potential of the majority, and if you notice, that's what was done, and now the minority owns the majority and will not give up the throne, as when in the minority the demand inclusion and when claiming the majority, they tell the majority to stfu and go away. There is no intent to be fair, there is every intent to win totally by any means necessary, and you, if there is ANY potential of you demanding fairness, or even access, must be destroyed, literally and figuratively |

To dream is to believe in the power of love! To love is to Know the truth! The Desire to Be fuel the belief that you Are which ignite the Will to Become which bring back forth the desire to be... Let it be-come you! It means Stop seeking your higher self! It is seeking you! Stand still in your mind to calm the waters of your mind and then it shall find you, so you can ride those waves together! your true self lies somewhere between your heart and your consciousness. It is called the heart consciousness,which is the creator, which is you! The heart create the emotions and our mind evoke its purpose, from which we dream the life we live in order to imagine the nature of reality and finally remember love! The highest Purpose of our mind is the ability to Forget! Go on and Forgive yourself! There is no love in truth but there is truth in love! Be authentic, nobody else can do it for you! |

Unpin this nonsense. [link to www.washingtonpost.com] As for the hoax, about 10 days ago, e-mails began appearing asking if "Dale Lindsborg" was a columnist at The Post. The answer is no. A few forwarded his "column," which purported to report and criticize an Obama appearance on "Meet the Press." The bogus report said that Obama disliked the national anthem, had attended flag-burning ceremonies and intended disarmament. Should The Post have written a story about the hoax? That's dicey. A small item in the Trail political blog would have been appropriate, but that might have given the hoax wider circulation than it already had. “We must keep the people busy with political antagonisms." “We’ll therefore speed up the question of reform (of tarrifs within) the Democratic Party; and we’ll put the spotlight on the question of protection …(for) the Republican Party." “By dividing the electorate this way, we’ll be able to have them spend their energies at struggling amongst themselves, on questions that, for us, have no importance whatsoever." - United State Bankers magazine, 1892. |
