Though he claimed otherwise on the campaign trail, in a 2004 interview, Obama boasted of regular attendance at Trinity Church with Jeremiah Wright’s anti-white, anti-American sermons.

President-elect Barack Obama said in 2004 – while he was a state legislator running for a U.S. Senate seat – that he attended services at Trinity United Church of Christ every week.

This is in contrast to what Obama, as a presidential candidate, said this year after controversial anti-American remarks by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright surfaced. Obama then told news outlets that he did not attend the church frequently and was not aware of Wright’s comments.

The comments from Obama about his church attendance appeared in the transcript of an interview posted Tuesday on the religious news Web site Beliefnet.com. The interview was conducted on March 27, 2004 by Chicago Sun-Times religion writer Cathleen Falsani for a story on Obama’s faith, but the interview was not released in its entirety until now.

Imagine that.

“One of the churches that I became involved in was Trinity United Church of Christ,” Obama said in the interview. “And the pastor there, Jeremiah Wright, became a good friend. So I joined that church and committed myself to Christ in that church.”

Obama began attending the church in 1988 and formally joined Trinity in 1992. Falsani asked, “Do you still attend Trinity?”

Obama answered, “Yep. Every week. 11 o’clock service. Ever been there? Good service.
I actually wrote a book called ‘Dreams from My Father,’ it’s kind of a meditation on race. There’s a whole chapter on the church in that, and my first visits to Trinity.”

Every week with sermons like this.

Besides the fact this proves Obama is a big fat liar, this is disturbing because we know that Obama was sitting in the pews as Jeremiah Wright ranted and raved against white people and against the United States of America…

…and he went back…

…every week.

From NRO’s The Corner:

Here’s a stat from my friend, blogger Mark Perry: Total compensation per hour for the big-three carmakers is $73.20. That’s a 52 percent differential from Toyota’s (Detroit South) $48 compensation (wages + health and retirement benefits). In fact, the oversized UAW-driven pay package for Detroit is 132 percent higher than that of the entire manufacturing sector of the U.S., which comes in at $31.59.

I don’t care how much money Congress throws at GM. With that kind of oversized comp-package they are not gonna be competitive. It’s throwin’ bad money after a bad cause. What a way to start the new Obama era.

I’m finding less and less arguments in favor of keeping the Federal Reserve and not going back on the gold standard…

One thing this whole financial mess has demonstrated conclusively is that politicians and corporate executives are entirely too pin headed to run an economy. The twits are asking us to trust them, again, because this time they’ll use our money wisely…promise! Here’s a concept – why do we need a “big three” set of automakers? Why can’t there be a dozen regional automakers competing fiercely for our dollars? What is the purpose of the United Auto Workers other than for employment of corrupt union bosses and donations for corrupt Democrat politicians? Anyone seriously think that if the UAW is dissolved that people will have to go back to working 12 hours a day for a dollar?

I’ve become the sworn enemy of Big Government and Big Corporation – no more of this archaic “what’s good for GM is good for America” nonsense…and neither is there any sense involved in thinking that some government hack in DC can figure out what we need in our States and communities. Any of you pinkos out there want to join me in this, I’ll welcome you with open arms – we’ll part company on a lot of issues, but if you wish to war on government and corporations, then I’m your ally.

It is high time we stopped allowing this sort of idiocy – a free man (or woman) owning his own property and able to look after himself and his family, that is what we are supposed to shoot for. We have to encourage useful things – growing stuff, making products, digging materials out of the ground. One man starting up a small manufacturing business in a depressed neighborhood is worth a dozen Ivy League economists trying to convince Obama that government can actually do something worthwhile in the economy. Think about it – did Henry Ford start out as a major multinational corporate boss? Heck no – he started out very small and worked his way up. Now it might be time for his company to bite the dust, and allow some modern day Henry Ford to work it out anew and figure out an even better way to get cheap transportation into the hands of the average American.

America has been buried under and avalanche of corporate and socialist garbage for nearly a century now – time to bring it to an end.

…its now OK to report on the stunning victory we’ve achieved in Iraq:

Sunnis and Shi’ites made an emotional reach across the sectarian divide on Tuesday, reopening a Baghdad bridge between the two communities closed since a 2005 stampede, the deadliest incident of the war.

The Bridge of the Imams connects the Adhamiya and Kadhimiya neighborhoods of Baghdad, named for mediaeval Sunni and Shi’ite holy men whose landmark shrines on opposite sides of the Tigris are surrounded by homes of members of the separate communities.

It had been closed since 2005 when rumors of a suicide bombing panicked thousands of Shi’ites crossing the bridge for a pilgrimage to the Kadhimiya shrine. About one thousand people died in that stampede, clogging the river below with corpses.

But on Tuesday Sunni children from Adhamiya raced to see their Shi’ite friends in Kadhimiya. Women from the two communities met up on the bridge, kissing and hugging each other with joy.

“When the faces met, the lips smiled, hands shook, bodies hugged, the tears flowed out of joy. This is the Iraqi citizen,” said Sheikh Ahmed al-Samaraie, head of Iraq’s Sunni Endowment, which runs Sunni religious offices and mosques in Iraq.

A banner across the bridge read: “The bridge of love and reconciliation between the people of Adhamiya and Kadhimiya.”

God bless them all – and my fondest wish for the people of Iraq to at last have peace, and for our glorious troops to come home to a people who can never show enough gratitude for the quest they have so nobly completed for our nation. And kudos, also, to those in American who never doubted, never wavered – who kept faith with those who fight freedom’s battles.

It is just a pity we had to wade through years of anti-American sh** for us to reach this magnificent conclusion. There are plenty of people who should feel nothing but shame for the disgraceful role they’ve played.

The very long fuse of the Catholic Church has finally gone off over this criminal enterprise:

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has not yet been able to determine if grants made to ACORN were used for fraudulent voter registration, but has cut off all funding to the community organizing group, Bishop Robert Morin announced on Tuesday.

Shortly after addressing the full assembly of U.S. Catholic bishops, Bishop Morin spoke to reporters about what the bishops had learned concerning the use of grants from the CCHD to the group Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which is currently under investigation in 13 states for voter fraud.

CCHD originally announced in July 2008 that it was suspending funding to ACORN because of the embezzlement of 1 million dollars by the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke. Today, however, the Bishop Morin went one step further and announced the cancelation of all funding to the group.

The Catholic Church will work with just about anyone if there’s a chance the poor will be helped – recognizing the truth that we all fall very far short of the perfection God desires for us, its not time to stand on ceremony when a sinner offers to help out. But there is a limit, and ACORN has at least reached it. Hopefully the good people in ACORN will start to realize that they’ve been taken for a ride by a group dedicated to fraud and a leftist political ideology which is at war with all morality.

About a month ago, after suffering major symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. As a result of a few really bad and painful days, a decided I had to start changing things to keep things from getting worse. That is when I discovered the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard — an alternative to the standard QWERTY layout. i decided after some research to make the switch. It has been an interesting journey. And while my typing speed is still slower than my best at QWERTY, I am constantly improving. And my CTS/RSI symptoms have become more tolerable.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of by readers here are Dvorak users. If there are,  I would love to chat about your experience switching. I have been chronicling my progress on my personal blog.

One of the first things George W. Bush did when he took office was put an end to U.S. taxpayer dollars funding abortions overseas… well it looks like Comrade Obama is salivating over the thought of having us pay for overseas abortions again.

The “change” that President-elect Barack Obama promised on the campaign trail will likely include overturning President George W. Bush’s 2001 executive order to prohibit the use of federal tax dollars for performing or advocating abortion as a means of family planning in foreign countries, Obama’s transition team has said.

“There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we’ll see the president do that,” John Podesta, head of Obama’s transition team, said when he appeared on “Fox News Sunday.”

One of those executive orders is the Mexico City Policy, or as critics call it, the “global gag act,” a U.S. policy first put into place at an August 1984 Conference on Population in Mexico City by President Ronald Reagan.

The Reagan policy required all non-governmental agencies, or NGOs, that received population aid dollars from the United States to agree to not perform or actively promote abortions.

In what has become a partisan tradition in the first days of both Republican or Democratic administrations, President Bill Clinton removed the order shortly after taking office in 1993, and Bush reinstated it on Jan. 22, 2001.

Way to govern from the center, Comrade. I guess “hope” is not something the unborn are entitled to.

Ah, the peace and love which they spread around makes the heart grow all warm and fuzzy:

Supporters of California’s Proposition 8 are reporting harassment and even violent assaults from opponents protesting the passage of the ballot proposal which rescinded a California Supreme Court decision that imposed same-sex marriage on the state. Homosexual activists have held large protests at Mormon temples and Catholic churches, deriding their opponents as hateful.

Paul Bishop, a Los Angeles Police Department supervisor reported on the election aftermath in Meridian, a magazine for members of the Latter-Day Saint Church, who are also known as Mormons.

Bishop told how he, as a private citizen, had attended rallies in support of Proposition 8. While both supporters and opponents of the measure honked their horns, he wrote, “the way to tell the difference is the No On 8 supporters usually accompanied their horn honking with an obscene gesture or a string of obscenities. They also liked to swerve their cars toward the children on the curb.”

He noted that several of his ward members had received hate mail after their names, religious affiliation, contribution amounts, and addresses were published on a web site inciting Proposition 8 opponents to target the individuals listed.

“Their houses and cars had been vandalized, their campaign support signs stolen, and opposition signs planted in their place,” Bishop wrote.

And here’s a look at the love in Michigan:

This past Sunday, during a Worship Service at the Church, a group of loud and intentionally disruptive homosexual activists stood outside of the sanctuary of Mount Hope dressed in strange pink attire. Using megaphones for amplification, they shouted epithets at those entering the service such as “Jesus is a homo”.They also mockingly carried an upside down pink cross.

Reports filed with the Eaton County Sheriff’s office indicate that other demonstrators had staged a further action intended to disrupt the Sunday Worship at Mount Hope. Dressed in clothing which would not have indicated their intention, they entered into the sanctuary and were seated with the community. Then, in an orchestrated manner, they left their seats, pulled fire alarms, distributed anti-Christian literature and stormed the Pastor’s pulpit waving a rainbow colored flag and shouting “It’s Okay To Be Gay! Bash Back”.

We’re certainly at the start of a new dawn in America where brotherhood and mutual caring will be the order of the day…

Then Baconnaise (yes, it exists) will be your sauce for life…short as it will be.

There is much Democratic angst over General Motors and the prospects of Big Auto bankruptcy. My view: allow the bankruptcy to happen. The economic model enshrined in Big Auto is a dinosaur from the 1950’s and it is unrealistic to think that such a large corporation with a huge bureaucracy and an entrenched, corrupt union can ever compete in the global market. We can subsidize, bail out and protect till the cows come home – but it is certain that the American auto makers will have to undergo massive change.

Worse than the economic illiteracy involved in a Detroit bail out is the fact that our taxpayer dollars – already strained by the clearly-failing Wall Street bail out – will merely be used to prop up Democratic donors. Democrats could give a hoot about GM, but they do care very much to keep the UAW afloat because the UAW donated nearly $1.8 million directly to Democratic candidates in 2008 while also shelling out more than $9 million on other political activities which directly or indirectly aided Democratic political efforts. That is a lot of scratch, and the Democratic party doesn’t want this cash cow slaughtered.

We GOPers in our political wilderness at least have this advantage – we can’t get government swag for anyone, and thus we are now allowed to re-establish ourselves as the anti-corruption and fiscal responsibility party. We are, once again, the taxpayer’s watchdog.

Sorry, GM, but it was your own fool decisions which got you into this mess. Everyone has to start thinking, and no better place to start than in that monument to liberal and corporate failure, Detroit

Battling it out to be head of the GOP.

My pick? Steele.

To me, its a no brainer – for all his gifts, Gingrich is yesterday’s news and too tied to the GOP which just got its rear kicked on November 4th. We need fresh faces, fresh ideas and a new enthusiasm. Steele brings this to the table, and we’ll be monumentally dumb if we don’t pick him.
