Discussions about a recent Pew Research poll have asked why so many people believe President Barack Obama is a Muslim even though he claims to be a Christian. The individuals asking this question apparently believe we are supposed to be like “Good Germans” and accept statements by our nation’s leader without question.
These individuals also apparently have forgotten that President Bill Clinton falsely said that he didn’t have a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Many apparently believe that Obama is telling similar lies about his religious beliefs.
I don’t know what religion Obama really believes, or if he really cares about religion. Many political leaders in the U.S. and other nations are religious chameleons who claim to belong to whatever religion provides them the most political benefits. Continue reading

The media refer to Barack Obama as the first African ancestry president, but as many as six other presidents may have had African ancestors. Like many other white Americans, they may or may not have known about African ancestors. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08036/854713-51.stm?cmpid=elections.xml
Skin color depends on only about seven genes which means if sex occurs across the color line frequently enough, the dark pigment genes could be lost in some children in a few generations.
After the broadcast of the Roots miniseries, many Americans decided to research their ancestry. Many whites were surprised to find ancestors who had served in the military in the 19th Century who had the letter “C” after their names meaning “colored”.
President Warren G. Harding had black cousins and admitted that some of his ancestors might have “jumped the fence” as he put it. Continue reading

The Patriot Update has posted an online petition at Vision to America to “demand that CSPAN be allowed to provide live TV coverage of negotiations and committee meetings.” They are concerned that “Failure to allow live TV coverage will provide Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid with the secret back-room necessary to make the secret pay-offs.”

Democrats received some negative comments after it was discovered that they had bribed Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson by offering to pay for new Medicaid recipients in Nebraska only. Democratic Senators in most other states apparently gave their votes away without getting anything for their voters. Continue reading

It is becoming increasingly clear that in western society the inmates are running the asylum. The idiot elite that holds power in most western nations have demonstrated their insanity by accepting the outright lie that the essential atmospheric gas carbon dioxide is a undesirable pollutant that needs to be regulated.
The scam begun by the crooked Enron corporation in the 1990′s falsely claims that very slight increases in CO2 would substantially raise air temperatures. Enron, and its successors, hoped to profit from trading carbon credits like it had profited from trading credits in sulfur dioxide, a byproduct of coal combustion.

The scientific fact is air temperatures would rise substantially if atmospheric CO2 were to decline to a point insufficient to support plant life. Areas of bare ground are significantly hotter than comparably located plant covered ground because bare ground converts the solar radiation to heat. Continue reading

Does the Obama administration understand why we invaded Afghanistan? Does Obama understand that we have no choice but to remain in Afghanistan until we can establish a stable government that will not allow the country to be a base for terrorism?
The Christian Science Monitor has reported that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told CNN it would be “irresponsible” to send more troops into Afghanistan before the political situation is resolved. Actually it would be irresponsible to wait for the political situation to be resolved before committing sufficient troops to stabilize the situation.
We invaded Afghanistan in 2001 because the Taliban government of Afghanistan had allowed the country to be used by a group of al Qaeda terrorists who had attacked New York City and Washington, D.C., on September 11. We cannot afford to leave until…
