| JESSEN: "Seen this ad? In it, Senator Obama personally attacks me. I've dealt with worse -- I survived an abortion. State Senator Barack Obama voted 4 times against laws to protect babies who survive abortions. Meanwhile, U.S. Senators voted 98-0 for Born Alive Infant Protections. Senator Obama says deciding when babies get human rights is above his pay grade. Tell him abortion survivors deserve legal protections too." |
Jessen became the first abortion survivor to appear in an issue advocacy advertisement earlier this year.
After her first ad was released, the Obama campaign issued a response ad that said BornAliveTruth was misleading voters. This is the attack Jessen refers to in the spot.
"Senator Obama had the audacity to go after Gianna Jessen, born alive after a failed abortion, and call her and the ad she appeared in 'a despicable lie,'" said Jill Stanek, executive director of BornAliveTruth.org. "We want to make sure voters are aware of Barack Obama's extreme stance on abortion, and that he voted four times, while an Illinois State Senator, to deny medical care to infants born alive after abortions."
What can we say? Is this the type of man you want to lead this great nation? One who calls an abortion survivor a liar for publicizing his record of voting against medical care for infants like her, who survive abortion attempts?
We pray that enough American voters see through the smoke and mirrors being put forth by the Obama campaign, to see that this man with no leadership experience has radical ideas about changing America in ways that would destroy the way of life we know and love.
We know we're preaching to the choir, because if you don't agree with us, you stopped reading this blog long ago. So we ask you to please keep trying to reach your friends who have become Obama zombies. There's still hope!

Spreading the Wealth
Barack Obama recently told "Joe the Plumber" the importance of "spreading the wealth around." And if you watch his rhetoric, you will see that "spreading the wealth" and "economic justice" are cornerstones of his political philosophy. A recording of a 2001 interview has him lamenting that the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's failed to bring about a redistribution of wealth in this country.
And remember Michelle Obama's speech where she said that some would have to give up a piece of pie so that others could have more?
We think you'll find the Obamas' tax returns to be significant in showing how

A Life-Altering Event
Forty-one years ago today, Republican Presidential hopeful John McCain endured a day that has shaped every day of his life since. For every American voter about to select a President to lead our country through these troubled times, we suggest that character matters more than any other trait.
This piece, written by fellow POWs who shared the darkest period of his life, and thus know him best, is a testament to the character of John McCain.
"Country First" is not just a campaign slogan for John McCain -- it is the way he has lived his life.

'Tis the Season for Charitable Giving
As we approach the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday period, you will no doubt receive increasing solicitations from all sorts of charities asking for your help, especially in the current economic climate.
According to the American Institute of Philanthropy, U.S. military members, postal workers, and other federal employees are among the most generous givers in the U.S. That makes us even more proud of you. Not only do you give so much in your service to our nation, for which you receive paltry pay, you also give up some of that pay to help others not as fortunate.
We want to remind you, however, that all charities are not created equal.
So we're reminding you, before you make ANY charitable donations,

Obama and Al-Mansour: Another Radical Connection
Much has been reported recently about the long list of Barack Obama's questionable relationships, and how they affect his qualifications to be President of the United States. They also reflect his judgment and tell us a lot about who he is.
It is true that like attracts like. We tend to gravitate towards other people who share our beliefs and values. We all know that from our own lives. That's especially troubling in the case of Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Who is Khalid Al-Mansour, and what is his connection with Barack Obama? You should know.

Barack Obama's Extended Family
Barack Obama's extended family paints a colorful picture, and it's one he'd probably prefer you not see. Attempting to research his family, including all his father's wives and mistresses, and all his half-siblings, is enough to confuse any voter. Obama shares a father with seven half-siblings, and a mother with one. That's quite an extended family.

Historical Perspective on the War on Terror
Writer Ray Kraft provides a thought-provoking historical perspective on the War Against Islamic Extremists.
As you read this article, think about how America (and you) would react to being taken over by Islamic extremists, possibly as early as 2009 or 2010, especially if Iran is allowed to develop its nuclear capabilities. And don't be foolish enough to dismiss that idea as outside the realm of possibility, because it isn't.
It is time for the good people of America to speak up and for the Silent Majority to remain silent no more.
Turning points in history are often dicey things. Now, we find ourselves at another one of those key moments in history.
There is a very dangerous minority in Islam that either has, or wants, and may soon have, the ability to deliver small nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, almost anywhere in the world.
The Jihadis, the militant Muslims, are basically Nazis in Kaffiyahs -- they believe that

The Audacity of Obama
The Audacity of Obama -- to portray himself as a messiah who can heal the racial divide in America.
In an article at Townhall.com, Phyllis Schlafly mentions the hope many Americans felt when Barack Obama won the nomination of the Democratic Party, that perhaps his historic selection would signal at least the beginning of the end of racism in America.
She goes on to explain why Barack Obama cannot be the man who signals the demise of racism in America. To put it bluntly, it is because

Financial Bailout Bill Q & A
Last week, Congress passed an unprecedented financial bailout bill. We've heard lots of discussion about the current financial crisis in the US over the airwaves in the past few weeks, and it has become a major issue in the Presidential election, now less than a month away.
Perhaps that was the intent? Was this crisis manipulated in order to swing the election? Here's some information about the underlying source of the subprime mortgage mess.

Obama and the Economy
The Democrats are touting Obama and the economy, and claiming the massive mortgage meltdown and economic crisis is the result of eight years of "failed Bush economic policy."
They say you should elect a Democrat President next month because, of course, the Republicans caused this economic mess, and, they say, McCain is part of the problem.
Whoa, Nellie! Let's take a look at where this "mortgage meltdown" originated. It's been coming for a very long time, and there

The Middle East Imperative
Brigadier General Jimmy L. Cash, USAF (Retired), was at one time the man with his finger on the nuclear trigger of this country, as head of our missile defense and response complex.
According to Major General John R. (Jack) Farrington, USAF (Retired), General Cash "was the only person who could initiate a nuclear attack after advising the sitting President of a missile launch by our enemies and our need to respond. No political or civilian type in the US had more knowledge about day to day military actions around the world."
Here, General Cash explains the critical importance of completing our mission in Iraq.
It should be noted that he is neither Democrat nor Republican. I hope that you will read it with an open mind, and seriously consider what he says.
The future of this great country depends on enough voters understanding what General Cash is saying, before the election in November!
