Obama's Ybor digs
Barack Obama's Florida campaign has eighty-sixed plans to move its state headquarters into a vacant restaurant in Centro Ybor. U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Tampa, had spread the word in June that Obama's Florida HQ would be in space once occupied by the Big City Tavern. Instead, the campaign is setting up shop in an office building elsewhere in Ybor City. Campaign spokeswoman Adora Andy said a grand opening will be scheduled soon, and field offices will open throughout Florida in the coming weeks.

4:57. When you say war crimes, what do you mean exactly? Was Bush the dog handler at Abu Graib? I don't recall seeing any pics of him gunning down civilians. What war crimes are you talking about? The false WMD documents that every nation accused Saddam of having? What war crimes are you talking about? Invading a country that had 19 UN mandates against them that they never bothered to comply with? What war crimes are you talking about?

Bugliosi wrote Helter Skelter! What a movie in it's time! But again, how can the Commander in Chief be held responsible for the deaths of 4,000+ Americans when the entire world had false info on Saddam? Can a Commander in Chief be held responsible for deaths in battle of his own force? I think you're reaching for straws surfdog.
Posted by: Donald Lance | July 14, 2008 at 05:53 PM
Surfdog,
Were you in Iraq?
Is it your money were spending?
Do you like the lifestyle (alternative for sure) that you have?
Look here you left wing pansies.
THE RADICAL MUSLIMS HATE YOU AND WANT TO KILL ALL AMERICANS.
They hate our lifestyle, they hate homosexuals (ie:surfdog), they hate our women in schools and driving, they hate alcohol, they burned "The little Mermaid" movie in Afghanistan and the entire movie rental store, They are worse then the NAZI's when it comes to complete control.
Iraq may not be your favorite thing, but it has deterred any attacks on our soil.
Would you rather play ball in there back yard with paid professional doing the work that you could never handle surfdog, or have bombs in America?
WAKE UP LIBERALS

Let's just nuke Iran and turn the sand into glass. Then maybe the rag heads will get the message of former America; Don't Tread on Me!!!!! What ever happened to American pride and ability to defend our values? If our liberty is worth living for, it is also worth dying for. Weakness and vacillation has never worked, it only encourages our enemies. Undertand you pansies?

Speech by Brigette Gabriel
(Editor's Note: Below are selected excerpts from Brigitte Gabriel's speech delivered at the Intelligence Summit in Washington DC)
We gather here today to share information and knowledge. Intelligence is not merely cold hard data about numerical strength or armament or disposition of military forces. The most important element of intelligence has to be understanding the mindset and intention of the enemy. The West has been wallowing in a state of ignorance and denial for thirty years as Muslim extremist perpetrated evil against innocent victims in the name of Allah.
I was ten years old when my home exploded around me, burying me under the rubble and leaving me to drink my blood to survive, as the perpetrators shouted, "Allah Akbar!" My only crime was that I was a Christian living in a Christian town. At 10 years old, I learned the meaning of the word "infidel."
I had a crash course in survival. Not in the Girl Scouts, but in a bomb shelter where I lived for seven years in pitch darkness, freezing cold, drinking stale water and eating grass to live. At the age of 13, dressed in my burial clothes going to bed at night, waiting to be slaughtered. By the age of 20, I had buried most of my friends--killed by Muslims. We were not Americans living in New York , or Britons in London . We were Arab Christians living in Lebanon .
As a victim of Islamic terror, I was amazed when I saw Americans waking up on September 12, 2001, and asking themselves "Why do they hate us?" The psychoanalyst experts were coming up with all sort of excuses as to what did we do to offend the Muslim World. But if America and the West were paying attention to the Middle East they would not have had to ask the question. Simply put, they hate us because we are defined in their eyes by one simple word: "infidels."
Under the banner of Islam "la, ilaha illa Allah, muhammad rasoulu Allah," (None is god except Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) they murdered Jewish children in Israel , massacred Christians in Lebanon, killed Copts in Egypt, Assyrians in Syria, Hindus in India, and expelled almost 900,000 Jews from Muslim lands. We Middle Eastern infidels paid the price then. Now infidels worldwide are paying the price for indifference and shortsightedness.
Tolerating evil is a crime. Appeasing murderers doesn't buy protection. It earns one disrespect and loathing in the enemy's eyes. Yet apathy is the weapon by which the West is committing suicide. Political correctness forms the shackles around our ankles, by which Islamists are leading us to our demise.
America and the West are doomed to failure in this war unless they stand up and identify the real enemy: Islam. You hear about Wahabbi and Salafi Islam as the only extreme form of Islam. All the other Muslims, supposedly, are wonderful moderates. Closer to the truth are the pictures of the irrational eruption of violence in reaction to the cartoons of Mohammed printed by a Danish newspaper. Fro m burning embassies, to calls to butcher those who mock Islam, to warnings that the West be prepared for another holocaust, those pictures have given us a glimpse into the real face of the enemy. News pictures and video of these events represent a canvas of hate decorated by different nationalities who share one common ideology of hate, bigotry and intolerance derived from one source: authentic Islam. An Islam that is awakening from centuries of slumber to re-ignite its wrath against the infidel and dominate the world. An Islam which has declared "Intifada" on the West.
America and the West can no longer afford to lay in their lazy state of overweight ignorance. The consequences of this mental disease are starting to attack the body, and if they don't take the necessary steps now to control it, death will be knocking soon. If you want to understand the nature of the enemy we face, visualize a tapestry of snakes. They slither and they hiss, and they would eat each other alive, but they will unite in a hideous mass to achieve their common goal of imposing Islam on the world.
This is the ugly face of the enemy we are fighting. We are fighting a powerful ideology that is capable of altering basic human instincts. An ideology that can turn a mother into a launching pad of death. A perfect example is a recently elected Hamas official in the Palestinian Territories who raves in heavenly joy about sending her three sons to death and offering the ones who are still alive for the cause. It is an ideology that is capable of offering highly educated individuals such as doctors and lawyers far more joy in attaining death than any respect and stature life in society is ever capable of giving them.
The United States has been a prime target for radical Islamic hatred and terror. Every Friday, mosques in the Middle East ring with shrill prayers and monotonous chants calling death, destruction and damnation down on America and its people. The radical Islamist deeds have been as vile as their words. Since the Iran hostage crisis, more than three thousand Americans have died in a terror campaign almost unprecedented in its calculated cruelty along with thousands of other citizens worldwide. Even the Nazis did not turn their own children into human bombs, and then rejoice at their deaths as well the deaths of their victims. This intentional, indiscriminate and wholesale murder of innocent American citizens is justified and glorified in the name of Islam.
America cannot effectively defend itself in this war unless and until the American people understand the nature of the enemy that we face. Even after 9/11 there are those who say that we must engage our terrorist enemies, that we must address their grievances. Their grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our freedom of speech. Their grievance is our democratic process where the rule of law comes from the voices of many not that of just one prophet. It is the respect we instill in our children towards all religions. It is the equality we grant each other as human beings sharing a planet and striving to make the world a better place for all humanity. Their grievance is the kindness and respect a man shows a woman, the justice we practice as equals under the law, and the mercy we grant our enemy. Their grievance cannot be answered by an apology for who or what we are.
Our mediocre attitude of not confronting Islamic forces of bigotry and hatred wherever they raised their ugly head in the last 30 years, has empowered and strengthened our enemy to launch a full scale attack on the very freedoms we cherish in their effort to impose their values and way of life on our civilization.
If we don't wake up and challenge our Muslim community to take action against the terrorists within it, if we don't believe in ourselves as Americans and in the standards we should hold every patriotic American to, we are going to pay a price for our delusion. For the sake of our children and our country, we must wake up and take action. In the face of a torrent of hateful invective and terrorist murder, America's learning curve since the Iran hostage crisis is so shallow that it is almost flat. The longer we lay supine, the more difficult it will be to stand erect.

All this controversy about the picture of the Obama's on the cover of the New Yorker is a real hoot!!!
How many years of Bush parodies did we endure? Leftists insulted his family, intelligence, White-house staff, Vice-President, cabinet, and voters.
These same persons that now cry foul said “Freedom of Speech!” when they spewed their vitriol and were called on it. They want war? They drew first blood.
This is just the beginning of payback to the left wingers!! And I love it.

Yep--folks on here, like Flagophile and the Obama Troll, love to dish out their "hits" on Republicans but cry like babies when the favor is returned.
It is time to start putting the pressure on the liberals who feel so much above all the rest of us. This is the way to keep the Obama's of the world from ruining the U.S.

The failure of IndyMac Bank, the failure of Freddie Mac, the selloff of the last major brewery (Budweiser no more) in America, gas going up, the dollar going down, America is going the way of the Roman Empire.
American exceptionalism is being thrown back in its face by the rest of the world and America can't do a thing about it.

Posted by: | July 14, 2008 at 08:17 PM
THERE IS NO DEBATE.
He is a terrorist..
Top 5 reasons
5. He went to a Madrasah (a terrorist school) as a child..
4. He supports Palestine, and doesn't belive Hezbollah are terrorists.
3. He supports alliances with Iran, who has stated "we will blow Israel off the face of the map"
2. His father is a member of the Kenyan Govt.
1 His brother is quoted as saying he was raised Muslim
SCARY to think that is your next President!!
