Hey CS. Hope all is well with you and yours.

techno_barbarian on June 5, 2008 at 8:58 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thanks. All is well. Our soldier came back for his mid-tour in March and was married. Her dad is SF and likes him very much. He&#039;s lucky. I wouldn&#039;t want a SF dude pissed at me while dating his daughter. :-) His unit had a pretty rough stretch through April/May, but everyone came through A-Okay. He comes home in December just in time for Christmas.

Our sailor calls us quite often to tell us how great the weather is in Hawaii. :-0 He goes back to the Gulf in January. What he really wants to do is take some revenge out on some pirates that operate off the coast of Somalia. They just missed the incident last year by a month.

Again, thanks for the kind thoughts and I hope all is well with you and yours also.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Both Hillary and Barack are disciples of Saul Alinsky.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Barack&#039;s first &quot;job&quot; out of college was as a &quot;Community Organizer&quot; in Chicago.

&lt;strong&gt;Saul David Alinsky &lt;/strong&gt;(January 30, 1909, &lt;strong&gt;Chicago&lt;/strong&gt;, Illinois - June 12, 1972, Carmel, California) is generally considered &lt;strong&gt;the father of &lt;em&gt;community organizing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama’s association with Rezko coincides with Rezko’s corruption. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

And Hillary knows that.  She even brought up Rezko&#039;s name in one of her debates with Obama.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://gopublius.com/hillary-clintons-wellesley-thesis/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hillary&#039;s Wellesley thesis&lt;/a&gt; (which &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17388372&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;she later tried to hide&lt;/a&gt;), was titled:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;THERE IS ONLY THE FIGHT...&quot;
An Analysis of the Alinsky Model&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Chapters were:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
1. SAUL DAVID ALINSKY: AN AMERICAN RADICAL 
2. THE ALINSKY METHOD OF ORGANIZING: THREE CASE STUDIES
3. &quot;A PRIZE PIECE OF POLITICALPORNOGRAPHY&quot;
4. PERSPECTIVES ON ALINSKY AND HIS MODEL
5. REALIZING LIFE AFTER BIRTH 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Both Hillary and Barack are disciples of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_David_Alinsky&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Saul Alinsky&lt;/a&gt;.

Hillary groomed Barack to become her VP.  
Hillary got Barack his speaking slot at the 2004 Democrat Convention.
Hillary helped Barak win his US Senate seat.
Hillary&#039;s plan was to play both the gender card and the race card against the John McCain and the Republicans...First Woman President &amp; First Black Vice-President.
Hillary never realized Barack was her Judas until Iowa.

The Democratic Socialists are anti-war.  Rabidly so.  That&#039;s why Lieberman lost the Democrat primary to an anti-war Democrat.  And part of the reason why Hillary appears to have lost the Democrat primary to an anti-war Democrat.

Hillary is not really pro-war.  She is, after all, every bit as much of a Democratic Socialist as Obama is.  But Hillary was in office when 9/11 happened.  She was forced to support the President and the war.  Barack, who didn&#039;t take office until January 2005, had the luxury of saying he had always been anti-war.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Also note that, during the time that BHO was in Chicago he never pushed for reform. His opposition to corruption is purely theoretical, apparently.

jl on June 5, 2008 at 2:58 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s a Sisyphean task, and he probably didn&#039;t want to get, you know, murdered.  But to think he wasn&#039;t involved in corruption is naive in the extreme.

		<description>Liberal Reform.

Step 1) Govt financing of electoral campaigns.  Personal donations will be illegal.

Step 2) Govt selecting which candidates will be permitted to receive govt funds.  Personal donations will still be illegal, even if the candidate is not receiving govt funds.</description>

		<description>Obamas issues have had one good effect-I can talk with my liberal friends without anyone getting angry-I don&#039;t know anyone who prefers Obama over Clinton, so we are all in the same boat. They are stuck with &quot;O&quot;, I&#039;m stuck with &quot;Mc&quot;.
My mother wants to write in Hillary Clinton; I said, &quot;Go ahead-but a vote for Hillary will give you McCain.&quot; She doesn&#039;t care-she&#039;s afraid of Obama.</description>

&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/06/obama_rezko_statement.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew&lt;/a&gt;

This isn’t the Ayers I know.

This isn’t the Wright I knew.

This isn’t the Ffleger I knew.

So, Barack, does this mean you are a lousy judge of character? Running on superior judgment? More like running on empty.

		<description>Well, Obama called Father Michael Pfleger a &quot;dear friend&quot; in an interview a few years ago.  I suppose he&#039;s not the Father Pleger he knew back then either.

Right????

I hope this nation will take a cold shower when it comes to the Obama and history-making love.  The man associates himself with vile people who very clearly hold no love for this country.  Hell, he married one!  How can we, the American people, elect such a man as president?

If anyone could send me into the political arms of John McCain - something I never thought would happen - it&#039;s Barack Obama and the thought of the damage he&#039;d do to this nation with a Dem controlled House and Senate.</description>

		<description>We all know that BO is full of crap, period. It tears us up, right? What has happened to America that none of this matters?
I don&#039;t trust him for a thing. I believe that he believes everything his affiliations believe in and if elected, I fear for America. But, surely is there not something to burst his bubble and wake up America that they are applauding a racist, marxist, anti-semite person(so it seems), who on top of it has no qualifications to run a country, excect to the ground?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It appears that Obama’s sole criterion for picking friends is how much they can do for him and his career. Worked for a while. Ironically, those same friends have put his career in reverse and are pulling him down. Easy come. Easy go.

Unfortunately, Obambi manages to survive one appalling revelation after another.  He has no problem rhetorically discarding the Marxist, Black LIberation, corrupt-pol stepping stones, now that he has almost achieved the Democratic Party nomination.  In the eyes of his adoring fans in the media, he can do no wrong; he is unstained, even as he emerges from the pigpen.

Obambi will clearly do and say whatever it takes to realize his ambition. First he spends twenty years hanging out with anti-Semites and Islamists, then he turns around and tells the Jews he is Israel&#039;s best friend.  You can be sure that if John McCain attempts to nail him on his plan to dismantle the military and our nuclear arsenal, Obambi will suddenly become a defense hawk.  The guy is slippery as an eel, a platitudinous vessel with no substance at all—unless the substance is well hidden, in the coffers and mind of George Soros.

If so, we may find out too late.</description>

		<description>Rezko may have been convicted of 16 counts by a jury of his peers, but he didn&#039;t commit a sin because everything he did was consistent with his values. You know, money and power are valuable, right?

How many sleazeballs (Wright, Ayers, Pfleger, Rezko, etc.) need to be exposed in Obama&#039;s circle of friends to convince voters that Obama does NOT have the &quot;judgment to lead&quot;?

Welcome to the campaign of Al Capone for President.</description>

		<description>The Obama campaign should just get it all out of the way before the general election heats up. 

My suggestion: do a video montage of all of these good people gone bad in Obama&#039;s life and note with rising indignation, that they all changed under the dark clouds of the Bush administration. (Key music) but this is not the sort of change that He represents. This is not His vision for America.</description>
