Sometime next fall, when you get a call from someone with a foreign accent urging you to vote for Barack Obama, you may consider asking where they are calling from. There’s a good chance it may be the Gaza strip and from a member of Hamas.
Palestinians in Gaza have taken it upon themselves to actively campaign for Obama from Gaza. In a world that gets smaller every day through the internet and other forms of communication, this should come as no surprise.
However, when pondering whether or not to vote for Barack Obama in the fall, one should ponder this….why would members of Hamas in the Gaza strip attempt to influence our Presidential election? Why are they so preferential to Obama? What is it about him that makes him so attractive to people who belong to terrorist groups and have pledged themselves to the destruction of Israel? Could it be that they think he’s just pretending to be a supporter of Israel and really isn’t?
That my friends, is exactly what they think. And I think they’re right.
I am a physician currently working as a flight surgeon. I have been happily married for almost 5 years and I have two beautiful daughters. We currently live in northern Florida. I am a self-described political/talk radio junkie with too much time on my hands (especially after being used to working 80+ hrs/week for the past few years).
I am a libertarian-leaning conservative who believes in less government, fewer taxes, and protecting what has always been unique about America to the rest of the world–Freedom. Many Americans desire to have our freedoms limited through government regulations and higher taxes. There is a distinct move towards socialism in this country on multiple levels including health care, welfare, and education. I hope this website/blog will inform and entertain while encouraging each of us to battle this “progressive” move towards socialist principles which will only degrade what has made America great for the last 200+ years.
Yesterday, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf resigned. What do you think? Good for America, bad for America? Good for Democracy? Or is it only good for the extremists? Your thoughts are appreciated. Technorati Tags: islamists, musharraf, pakistan, radical islam Bookmark It Hide Sites
Gordon C Chang has harsh words for NATO. Harsher words for President Bush. That’s it? Russia invades a country, and the Atlantic Alliance sets up a commission? Dmitry Rogozin, the Kremlin’s NATO envoy, put it best. He labeled the emergency summit a “mountain that gave birth to a mouse.” But we shouldn’t blame the Alliance for its [...]
-By Warner Todd Huston Do you like your silly little Olympic games? Well, I hope you are really, really enjoying it because your support, your watching of this garbage makes you a direct, unequivocal party to the torture, imprisonment and oppression of the Chinese people. So, you, Mr. Olympics watcher, get a gold medal in torture. Congratulations. [...]
I say good for John McCain to criticize what can only be described as political opportunism by Sen. Obama. At the Saddleback forum, Obama said his decision to oppose the War in Iraq was his most difficult–even though he wasn’t even in the Senate at the time, and by the time he was running [...]
This is a pretty apt description of the lefties whose apologism to Islamist radicals has gotten so out of hand, that publishers, theatres, and art venues have all started pre-censoring just about anything critical of Islam from Mozart to the new book “The Jewel of Medina” by Sherry Jones. (note: the link to Amazon above results [...]
By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com All for fear of offending Muslims, we have “a quiet wave of self-censorship and cultural cowardice sweeping Western art circles:” A novel (The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones) is pulled before it even got published; the “BBC has dropped a big-budget docu-drama, The London Bombers;” “the BBC hospital soap Casualty [...]
...but will they? And now the New York Times reports that the Russian military had been moving launchers for short-range ballistic missiles into South Ossetia, a step that appeared intended to tighten its hold on the breakaway territory.

Randy Scheunemann, who is John McCain’s top foreign policy advisor, has been in the spotlight this last week due to his past lobbying ties to the Georgian government. Critics have alleged that Scheunemann’s previous dealings have contributed to war in the Caucasus. This morning’s Los Angeles Times includes a feature story on Scheunemann, with the bottom [...]
Sarah Palin for Vice President I’m endorsing Sarah Palin for McCain’s VP choice. 90% approval rating in her home state of Alaska makes her the most popular Governor in the United States. She’s young, but not too young, and smart. And pretty solidly conservative.

If you add up all the pro-withdrawal candidates, you see the disparity getting huger:
Obama + Clinton + Paul + DNC: $751,870 from 1,825 contributors
The rest of the Republicans: $616,808 from 1,166 contributors
A few things about this that are silly:
First, that’s a total of 2991 contributions. Not a very good sample. Second, if you do the numbers, GOP donors are generally donating more per contribution than Democratic donors are, by about $118 per contribution.
Also funny:
Note that this only includes donations over $200. Smaller donations don’t need to be itemized by the campaigns. And given that enlisted personnel make less than $2,000 per month before taxes, we can assume that they’re not sending the bigger dollar contributions. As such, for Obama to score such a huge advantage among officers, which have always skewed more Republican is pretty startling.
So what Kos is assuming is that officers are more conservative than enlisted men. Why he assumes this is beyond me. Oh, and enlisted men can make a great deal more than $2000 a month as they move up the ranks….
In any case, it’s non-news. It’s just Kos being an idiot. (1)
