...hey kids...
...been a bit...the ball been good huh?...lester...jackson is for real...at the very least he is doing real good on themechanics...i and i was a reading up on this stuff...i have him on most of my fantasy teams...lucky me...i and i changed the lineups this last week to figure in the return of manny whom i and i have on a bunches of rosters...don't strand manny...this is going out to a few of the folks we hope will visit at sometime...that way with the links taht i and i have figgered out how to use...even a blind pig huh kids?...things is weird as usual for i and i but the national discourse...as opposed to pastime eh kids?...when the going gets weird...as the prophet saith...this first kids was before some of the violence is starting to be documented...i and i tink it is a synthisis overview problem...

washington times on ipf's...Ken Piernick, a retired FBI agent who worked on terrorism cases, said recent acts of violence by right-wing extremists, such as the killing of abortion doctor George Tiller, comes after a years-long lull in similar cases, including the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

"I would expect based on their sentiments that [President] Obama's election would probably contribute to a bit of that," he said. "These people are not rational; they don't think of the consequences of what they do. They're not particularly smart people."

....this is unreal about someones faith...and this is put into Minstream newspaper and we call this conversation...this is some very wrong stuff huh kids?...read on and you can find the fine fellow citizen here...

During his White House years, William Jefferson Clinton -- someone Judge Sonia Sotomayor might call a "white male" -- was dubbed "America's first black president" by a black admirer. Applying the standard of identity politics and pandering to a special interest that earned Mr. Clinton that distinction, Barack Hussein Obama would have to be considered America's first Muslim president.

This is not to say, necessarily, that Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim any more than Mr. Clinton actually is black. After his five months in office, and most especially after his just-concluded visit to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, however, a stunning conclusion seems increasingly plausible: The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich.

What little we know about Mr. Obama's youth certainly suggests that he not only had a Kenyan father who was Muslim, but spent his early, formative years as one in Indonesia. As the president likes to say, "much has been made" -- in this case by him and his campaign handlers -- of the fact that he became a Christian as an adult in Chicago, under the now-notorious Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright.

With Mr. Obama's unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo Thursday to what he calls "the Muslim world" (hereafter known as "the Speech"), there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself. Consider the following indicators:

• Mr. Obama referred four times in his speech to "the Holy Koran." Non-Muslims -- even pandering ones -- generally don't use that Islamic formulation.

• Mr. Obama established his firsthand knowledge of Islam (albeit without mentioning his reported upbringing in the faith) with the statement, "I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed." Again, "revealed" is a depiction Muslims use to reflect their conviction that the Koran is the word of God, as dictated to Muhammad.

• Then the president made a statement no believing Christian -- certainly not one versed, as he professes to be, in the ways of Islam -- would ever make. In the context of what he euphemistically called the "situation between Israelis, Palestinians and Arabs," Mr. Obama said he looked forward to the day ". . . when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) joined in prayer."

Now, the term "peace be upon them" is invoked by Muslims as a way of blessing deceased holy men. According to Islam, that is what all three were - dead prophets. Of course, for Christians, Jesus is the living and immortal Son of God.

In the final analysis, it may be beside the point whether Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim. In the Speech and elsewhere, he has aligned himself with adherents to what authoritative Islam calls Shariah -- notably, the dangerous global movement known as the Muslim Brotherhood -- to a degree that makes Mr. Clinton's fabled affinity for blacks pale by comparison.

For example, Mr. Obama has -- from literally his inaugural address onward -- inflated the numbers and, in that way and others, exaggerated the contemporary and historical importance of Muslim-Americans in the United States. In the Speech, he used the Brotherhood's estimates of "nearly 7 million Muslims" in this country, at least twice the estimates from other, more reputable sources. (Who knows? By the time Mr. Obama's friends in the radical Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) perpetrate their trademark books-cooking as deputy 2010 census takers, the official count may well claim considerably morethan 7 million Muslims are living here.)

Even more troubling were the commitments the president made in Cairo to promote Islam in America. For instance, he declared: "I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." He vowed to ensure that women can cover their heads, including, presumably, when having their photographs taken for passports, driver's licenses or other identification purposes. He also pledged to enable Muslims to engage in zakat, their faith's requirement for tithing, even though four of the eight types of charity called for by Shariah can be associated with terrorism. Not surprisingly, a number of Islamic "charities" in this country have been convicted of providing material support for terrorism.

Particularly worrying is the realignment Mr. Obama has announced in U.S. policy toward Israel. While he pays lip service to the "unbreakable" bond between America and the Jewish state, the president has unmistakably signaled that he intends to compel the Israelis to make territorial and other strategic concessions to Palestinians to achieve the hallowed two-state solution. In doing so, he ignores the inconvenient fact that both the Brotherhood's Hamas and Abu Mazen's Fatah remain determined to achieve a one-state solution, whereby the Jews will be driven "into the sea."

Whether Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim or simply plays one in the presidency may, in the end, be irrelevant. What is alarming is that in aligning himself and his policies with those of Shariah-adherents such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the president will greatly intensify the already enormous pressure on peaceful, tolerant American Muslims to submit to such forces - and heighten expectations, here and abroad, that the rest of us will do so as well....

...yeah kids that gaffney is a bit over the top in my opinion...but this is what gets in the way of talking and writing to each other so we can be in a good way for the women and children of the seventh generation...i and i do not write or think of that enough but we all fall short huh kids?...and now lets see if we find out...here is the response to the wing nut...hey kids, who forgot to tighten down the wingnuts?...

The Nutty 'Obama Is a Muslim' Charge Is Back (Now With a Hitler Comparison!)

And here I thought that the Washington Times was making a concerted effort to steer away from its roots as a fringe, niche publication. Well today, commentator Frank Gaffney dragged them off the sanity wagon.

Gaffney has an op-ed suggesting Barack Obama is "America's first Muslim president." First he frames his argument as symbolic, as Bill Clinton was often referred to as America's first black president. "This is not to say, necessarily, that Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim any more than Mr. Clinton actually is black."

Then Gaffney pivots and...says Barack Obama actually is a (secret) Muslim. (No, actually it's not a direct pivot: First Gaffney compares the president to Adolf Hitler. Seriously.)

With Mr. Obama's unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo Thursday to what he calls "the Muslim world" (hereafter known as "the Speech"), there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself.

His pieces of "evidence" include the fact that Obama makes nice with the locals and his audience by using their religious lingo. As the Washington Independent's David Weigel notes:

Did Gaffney contact Ben Rhodes, the very white and very non-Muslim speechwriter who did plenty of work on this speech? Does he actually think that stretching to use local or religious rhetoric is proof that the speaker is hiding his secret connections?

Or as Matthew Yglesias observes:

By this standard, I suppose I'm only pretending to be Jewish since when I find myself in a church (visiting a nice cathedral, say, or attending a friend's wedding) I try to comport myself correctly.

Gaffney, Weigel also notes, is from the Obama's-not-a-natural-born-citizen conspiracy camp. He's also a national security commentator not infrequently seen as a talking head on cable networks. Matt Duss also has some good stuff on the nuttery here.



...so hey kids...there are folks there that keep up the good fight and it is us as participants in this fine nations democracy that is how we can really have some fun...huh?...the inter league plays goin' down so we are tryin' to put up a permalink into the writing but we will see how it work...but we will post this then praise jah!...it's the headphones real dank dub...praise jah...later kids...say your prayers please...
