Conservatives define conceit as, Barack Obama.

An old adage states that “conceit is a fault and I don’t have any.” Trust me, I have never uttered this statement and I’m sure I never will. Our President however, is the epitome of conceit.

Since entering the federal political arena, Obama has garnered more (mainstream) media attention then the O.J. trials, the Long Island Lolita and just about anything else I can think of. This overwhelming attention feeds his ego the way grain and hay sustains cattle and hogs.

If you take the time to listen or read Obama’s speeches, both campaign and since election, you will find that most each and every one contains portions of “I am the greatest, I can do no wrong, pat me on the back”. He diverts blame to the former administration, and any one he can, at every opportunity. His favorite statement is, “I/we inherited … (fill in the blank)” and this has trickled down to all of his cronies as the statement of the status quo.

Obama boasts about the enormous success of his administration in implementing TARP and creating “new” programs which benefit the citizens of this nation, without regard to cost. He has addressed people in other nations and their heads of state telling of how good he is and how he will work to bring his own countries citizens into compliance with world views of the United States.

Obama doesn’t care about Americans, Obama cares only that the rest of the world sees him as the “perfect leader”. He works diligently to be the appeaser so that the rest of the world gets that warm and fuzzy feeling about him. He works his way from venue to venue and speaks the words each group wants to hear. Obama stated not that long ago, “The United States of America is not a Christian nation”. And in his recent address in the Middle East he said, “The United States is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world”.  Again, it is all about him, a Muslim, although he tells us different, what we want to hear.

Obama’s presentation is arrogant and condescending. His personal image takes priority over his nation’s. He manipulates “his” people through hollow promises and with the assists of organizations such as ACORN. Is Obama articulate? Sure he is, but anyone can be with the appropriate training in communications and etiquette – and the use of a teleprompter. Is he “charismatic? Yes, in the eyes of those who know no better and have been taken in by his phony exterior image. The love fest which Obama has created for himself is the results of nothing more than a very impressive ad campaign.

Obama has created a following of sheep, a heard of which hangs on his every word, a heard which worships his every doing and follows along blindly and obeyingly, a heard following him to the slaughter house. It’s all about him, “The One”, “The Anointed”. He boasts about his advanced knowledge of the Constitution, yet he violates it on a daily basis. He says that he does not want to own and/or run any private companies, yet he has taken over Government Motors – GM – and Chrysler, the financial and insurance industry and Wall St and dictates to all how they will do business through his numerous “Czars”. This is Obama’s “I can do it better” self absorbed persona.

And if you still can’t see where I am going with this, let me give you one last example.

As this great nation continued its economic fall a few months back, that’s not to say that it still isn’t, the focus of the Obama media turned to the family dog. In the daily White House press briefings, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs faced multiple questions about the family pet. Obama himself, address the question regularly. When the day came, that infamous day, the day the family finally received their dog, all else played second fiddle in the media. And what of the name, for this new addition to the White House family? Yes, they tossed around many ideas, so they say, and finally made their decision, or was it Obama’s decision alone? Their dog is now known as Bo. Interesting, isn’t it?

Let’s look at the name Bo, its hidden meaning, at least what I see in it, and its relationship to the conceit theme of the article. I also don’t recall seeing any reports of this anywhere in the media. Look at this name, think, just a little and it becomes very clear, the two letters that make up the name. Keep looking, keep thinking.

Bo, the initials of Barak Obama.

Conceit?

Enough said.

It has become increasing obvious that Conservatives actually say what they mean, the first time. There is no need for translations or interpretations. There is no need for another Conservative to come behind the first and restate the first’s statement in other words or terms – damage control. And most Conservatives, when speaking about what they are passionate about, don’t need a speech which is fully scripted and teleprompted.

Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, has become Obama’s clean-up hitter. And boy, does he, as well as other White House offices, have their hands full.

On Monday, May 18, 2009, Jonathan Passantino of FOXNewws.com wrote about an article by Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine’s Washington contributing editor.

According to Clift’s report on the Newsweek blog, Biden “said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment.”

Clift continued: “The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall.”

“What he meant to say … ”

On Monday, Biden’s press office issued a statement in response to this story, denying the bunker report.

“What the Vice President described in his comments was not — as some press reports have suggested — an underground facility, but rather, an upstairs workspace in the residence, which he understood was frequently used by Vice President Cheney and his aides,” said Biden’s spokesperson Elizabeth Alexander. ”That workspace was converted into an upstairs guestroom when the Bidens moved into the residence. There was no disclosure of classified information.”

Passantino’s article continued to describe how “neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory” and that “they believed workers were digging deep into the ground”. This “would support Biden’s report of a secret bunker, but officials never confirmed the purpose of the work performed.”

Of course, Joe “The” Biden has required more damage control than any other Obama administration official, yes, even compared to Palosi.

On Thursday, April 30, 2009, Biden appeared on NBC’s “Today” show where he said he would advise against riding the subway or taking commercial flights and implied schools should be shuttered amid confirmation of the first swine-flu relation death in the U.S. “I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now. I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now. It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s you’re in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That’s me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation suggesting they ride the subway.” “If you’re out in the middle of a field and someone sneezes that’s one thing. If you’re in a closed aircraft or a closed container or closed car or closed classroom it’s a different thing.”

“What he meant to say.”

About two hours after the interview, Biden’s office issued a statement attempting to clarify the vice president’s remarks. “The advice he is giving family members is the same advice the administration is giving all Americans: That they should avoid unnecessary air travel to and from Mexico. If they are sick, they should avoid airplanes and other confined public spaces, such as subways. This is the advice the vice president has given family members who are traveling by commercial airline this week,” Biden’s spokeswoman, Elizabeth Alexander, said in a statement. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs apologized for Biden’s remarks, saying the vice president misspoke.

In mid April and during an interview with CNN, Biden said he told Bush in the Oval Office: “Mr. President, turn and around look behind you. No one is following.” Karl Rove, Bush’s top political adviser in the White House, called the conversation “fictional.”

FOXNews.com also has a “list of 14 amusing yet cringe-worthy “Bidenisms” made during the vice president’s more recent political career.” They are as follows:

– On March 13, 2009, Biden addressed a former Senate colleague by saying, “An hour late, oh give me a f**king break,” after he arrived on Amtrak at Union Station in Washington, D.C. The vice president’s expletive was caught on a live microphone.

– During a Feb. 25, 2009, interview on CBS’ “Early Show,” Biden encouraged viewers to visit a government-run Web site that tracks stimulus spending. When asked for the site’s web address, Biden could not remember the site’s “number.”

“You know, I’m embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number?” he asked an aide standing out of view. “I should have it in front of me and I don’t. I’m actually embarrassed.”

– At a Jan. 30, 2009, swearing-in ceremony of senior White House staff, Biden mocked Chief Justice John Roberts for his presidential oath blunder on Inauguration Day.

“Am I doing this again?” Biden said, after Obama asked him to administer the oath. When Biden was told the swearing-in was for senior staff — and not cabinet members — the vice president quipped, “My memory is not as good as Justice Roberts,” prompting a stern nudge from Obama.

– On Inauguration Day, Jan. 20 2009, Biden misspoke when he told a cheering crowd of supporters, “Jill and I had the great honor of standing on that stage, looking across at one of the great justices, Justice Stewart.” Justice John Paul Stevens — not Stewart — swore Biden in as vice president.

– When criticizing former GOP nominee John McCain in Athens, Ohio, on Oct. 15, 2008, Biden said, “Look, John’s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs.”

– In a Sept. 22, 2008, CBS interview, Biden misspoke when he said Franklin D. Roosevelt was president when the stock market crashed in 1929.

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened,” he said. Herbert Hoover — not Roosevelt — was president in 1929, and television had not yet been invented in 1929.

– During a Sept. 12, 2008, speech in Columbia, Mo., Biden called for Missouri State Sen. Chuck Graham, who is wheelchair-bound, to “stand up.”

“Oh, God love ya,” Biden said, after realizing his mistake. “What am I talking about?”

– At a Sept. 10, 2008, town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H., Biden said, “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me.”

– Biden mistakenly referred to Alaska governor Sarah Palin as the “lieutenant governor” of her state during a town hall meeting on Sept. 4, 2008 at George Mason University in Manassas, Va.

“I heard a very, by the way I mean this sincerely, a very strong and a very good political speech from a lieutenant governor of Alaska who I think is going to be very formidable, very formidable not only in the campaign but in the debate,” Biden said.

– Biden said he was running for president — not vice president — during a Sept. 1, 2008, roundtable discussion in Scranton, Pa.

“Today is the moment for me as a United States senator running for president to put aside the national politics and focus on what’s happening down there,” Biden said.

– Biden referred to John McCain as “George” during his vice presidential acceptance speech on Aug. 27, 2008, at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Co. “Freudian slip, folks, Freudian slip,” he explained.

– Biden confused army brigades with battalions when speaking about Obama’s plan for sending troops to Afghanistan.

“Or should we trust Barack Obama, who more than a year ago called for sending two additional combat brigades to Afghanistan?”

– During his first campaign rally with Obama as his vice presidential running mate on Aug. 23, 2008, Biden introduced Obama by saying, “A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!”

– On Jan. 31, 2007 — the day Biden announced his presidential bid — the Delaware Senator was roundly criticized for calling Obama “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

OK, so I’m picking on Biden, just a little. I’m just glad that I’m not the one who has to cover for him and give the “What he meant to say” interpretations.

What I’m trying to get at here, is that this is a primary example of the White House faces each and every day when it comes to the words uttered by its officials, without scripting, without Teleprompters. This is in direct contrast to Conservatives.

Rush Limbaugh’s controversial comment that “[He] wished Obama to fail”, was exactly that. And he backed that up in an interview with Sean Hannity this past week on Hannity’s America (Fox News Network). When Limbaugh spoke at C-PAC earlier this year, there were no Teleprompters and from what I could see, nothing in the way of notes. He spoke from his heart, from what he knew.

This is very common among Conservatives who speak. There is a passion about where they stand and in what they believe. There is a passion about what direction our nation needs to go. And when Conservatives relay their beliefs to others, there are no stammers, no stutters. No one has to come along behind them and say:

“What he meant to say.”

As I sat watching the D-Day Memorial from the Omaha Beach Memorial Site this morning, I couldn’t but be moved by what I saw and heard. The camera panned across the rows upon rows of crosses which lined the pristine lawns and gardens atop the ridge, looking down on the beach where so many brave, young American Soldiers lost their lives, sixty five years ago.

In the Fox News studio with Chris Wallace was 84 year old WWII combat veteran Frank South. Mr. South was just nineteen when he and his “Brothers In Arms” stormed the beach. He spoke of the conditions they faced, artillery raining down, frigid waters, ducking machine gun fire and his fellow soldiers falling by his side. But as he remembered those horrid conditions, his eyes welling up with tears, his voice breaking, there was a slight hint of a smile. Because, despite all that they faced and the losses they experienced, he remembered the brotherhood, the selfless acts of courage, brothers helping brothers.

Mr. Frank recalled one story in which two soldiers, one combat and one non-combat, engaged in a vicious fight onboard the craft he was on. It was only moments later, as they entered the frigid waters and neared the beach head, when one of the two fell and the other did not hesitate to save his life. Mr. Frank was asked, “Did you make it to the top the first day?” His reply, “That’s what we were there for!”

In attendance for the memorial were many combat veterans from that day, although, not as many as five years ago, but still, more than there will be in five years. You see, Mr. Frank is one of the youngsters of the veterans group. As the cameras focused on the faces of the veterans in the crowd one could easily see who among them were still going strong and who wasn’t. Many were in wheelchairs, many walked with canes or with assistance but, they were there, as they were sixty five years ago.

These men, these brave young men, were from a different time, a different era. They were, for the most part, a product of the Great Depression era. They knew of hardships within their families and amongst their friends families. They were dedicated to their nation and faithful to their command. They were American Soldiers, fighters for Freedom and Liberty. They were brave and they were proud.

Seeing these men and hearing their stories, regenerates me. It is a constant reminder of days gone by, before my time, but still, today, fills my heart with great pride of the selfless sacrifices our military has and still makes today, in the name of Freedom. I think of the writings of William Shakespeare, the St. Crispen’s Day Speech (1599):

(In part)

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian.’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Although the references are that to England, it is only fitting the she be replaced in modern times with The United States of America. And our St. Crispen’s Day could be any battle within any theater in which our troops have engaged.

We must never forget those who have served and those who serve today. We must never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We must never forget the families of our Soldiers, for they too shave suffered. For it is because of them, the American Soldier, their bravery, their selfishness, their determination, that we are afforded the lives we have today, the Freedoms, the Liberties.

Whether you agree with our nation’s policies and actions abroad or not, remember this. Our nation’s brave men and women serving this day have volunteered to stand the Post and protect us, you and me.

To this end, I ask you.

The next time you come across a veteran – WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, The Gulf War, Afghanistan, Iraq, and any other – take a moment out of your day, make it a point to stop and thank them.

The next time you come across a soldier in uniform, take a moment out of your day, make it a point to stop and thank them.

Obama has spent his time in foreign lands talking against the US, this his third trip overseas. He has become the appeaser to those who would look down at us and wish us harm. Even though he did echo some of the same words and ideals of former President Bush with regard to the protection of Americans, he still didn’t drive home the idea that we just won’t tolerate harm to the U.S. nor its people.

In his speech delivered from Cairo, Egypt, Obama said he understood about “the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization [which has] led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam”. Up until THIS administration, “globalization” by the west has been minimal. It has been only been since Obama’s election to the White House that globalization has been cranked up. Islam hates Americans because of our freedoms and way of life, period. The primary objective of Islam is to convert all to Islam and for those who will not convert; they shall be enslaved or killed.

Obama talks a good game, that’s how he got elected, right? He claims to be a Christian but, seems very comfortable and seemingly more at home with his Muslim roots. There are many hints of his disingenuous Christianity. With this last trip to address Muslims, Obama finds it very easy to forget he is “Christian” by ending his speech with:

“The Holy Koran tells us, “O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.”

The Talmud tells us: “The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace.”

The Holy Bible tells us, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”

The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God’s vision. Now, that must be our work here on Earth. Thank you. And may God’s peace be upon you.”

Obama quotes Muslim to Christian two to one and ends with “And may God’s peace be upon you.”, not “God Bless you” or “God be with you”. Muslims speak this way not Christians.

Obama is part of a much bigger picture. For those of you reading this and have never heard of the relationship between the Nation of Islam and the year 2020, let me give you a little insight.

It involves the Islamic invasion of America!

You may think this is ridiculous, but don’t stop here, read on; your Freedoms and Liberties depend on it!

First, let me give you a little technical information about the author from whom this is derived.

Dr. Anis Shorrosh, D.Min, D.Phil, and a member of Oxford Society of Scholars, has traveled in 76 countries. He is a Palestinian Arab
Christian American, who is an author, lecturer and producer of TV documentaries. He is author of the best-seller “Islam Revealed” and his tenth book – “Islam: A Threat or a Challenge.” – was published in the spring, 2003. You can contact him at PO Box 949, Fairhope, AL 36533, FAX 1-251-621-0507 or phone 1-251-680-7770 or on the net at http://www.focusing-on-islam.com/.

I have started with this because I need you to understand that this man is very qualified to cover this subject. I have not read any of his books, fully, but have found exerts and others who have eluded to his writings and his expertise on the subject of Islam and Muslims. A
couple of his books had been given to members of congress to enlighten them on what to expect from this “religion of peace.” The author,
Dr. Anis Shorrosh, starts at the very beginning of Islam and deals with Muhammad’s life and reveals many things about him that very few have ever mentioned. These two books are “Islam Revealed: A Christian Arab’s View Of Islam” and “Islam: A Threat Or A Challenge.”  The following is taken from his web site listing very clearly how Islamists are planning to take over America as they have done in many other nations. Dr. Shorrosh is a highly qualified writer on this subject.

This expose’ is as serious as a heart attack!

Dr. Shorrosh says, “[That] this is my analysis of the Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over
America by the year 2020! Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?”

1. Terminate America’s freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American’s religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, “Abed.”

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and
mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block
voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – the black gold. America’s economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell, “foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran” anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions; get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way. Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:

a. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961)

b. No birth control whatsoever – every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.

c. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years – since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.

d. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far – sleeping cells!

10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish “Centers for Islamic studies” with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, not the truth, which is Islam hijacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos, promoting Islam to America’s high schools–free. They would never allow us to reciprocate.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America’s sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.)

15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American’s justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America’s campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media of their visibility.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethnic groups in America.

* Jerusalem was held by Jordan from 1948 when it attacked Israel until 1967, when it again attacked Israel.

Now, consider this. Dr. Anis Shorrosh’s book “Islam: A Threat or a Challenge.” – was published in the spring, 2003, six years ago. His insight and, almost, prophet like points are chilling when you compare them with what has and is happening today. I am not going to go through the twenty points he has listed to point out that which has been realized. But, I will touch on one.

“Point 8” is of specific interest to me and should be to all Americans. It begins, “Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House,”. Again I say, Obama plays the Christian card because this is what Christian Americans, better than ninety percent of our population, wants in their President. I see a Muslim at the helm, in the White House.

Is 2020 our nation’s destiny? Is our focus in the right place? Do you want to be governed in your day to day life by the writings within the Koran and its Sharia laws?

I for one, do not and will not!

I hope you stop by offten, join in and have some fun and intereting discusion.
