While browsing our local blogosphere I discovered a large movement in Amarillo “metroplex” that supports Barack Obama. Curious to see who these people were I sought out thier information on Barack’s website. The largest group is “Amarillo Texas for Obama!!!”
Everyone who is associated with the group has a profile that lists where they live, birthdate, whether or not they are registered to vote, why they support Obama, and what issues they care about. Everyone of the 15 or so profiles of Amarillo area persons I clicked on cares about civil rights or civil liberties. Being that a vast majority of Democrat’s agenda is to thwart civil liberties I was curious how all of these people could care so much about the civil rights issue and support someone like Barack Obama, so I did some research on the guy.
I haven’t given two thoughts about Barack until I read about a rally here in Amarillo, so I know very little about him. There isn’t much to know about person’s aligned with the Democratic party. I went to On The Issues.org to find out what his positions were.
Most curious is Barack’s support of the Patriot Act. If you recall, every time a democrat moans about civil liberties it has to do with the Patriot Act, warrantless wiretaps, or something about Gitmo. What kind of logic allows these people to say they care about civil liberties and then support someone who voted to curtail civil liberties by voting for the Patriot Act? I am guessing it is a total lack of logic.
Furthermore, Barack’s record on supporting the 2nd ammendment is attrocious. There is another civil liberty that local supporters say they care about but their leader doesn’t.
Despite denying it Obama has supported a single payer healthcare system, that is to say he supports nationalized healthcare, be it controlling insurance companies or the gov footing the bill. Without getting into the costs of such a farce and considering some of the other positions Obama has we can easily see that this violates several civil liberties.
Obama supports banning smoking and the government doing something about obesity on the basis of supporting his nationalized healthcare agenda. The gov would regulate smoking and eateries across the nation in an effort to keep all citizens healthy. How is this going to be accomplished? Are they going to do like they tried in Missouri to tell restaurants that they can’t serve food to fat people?
How transparent is it that Obama cares about civil rights? I could right a book on all the exploits the democrats have done to subvert civil rights. Woops, someone beat me to it.
Read the above linked page about Obama on the issues. I will never support him for several reasons, primarily his stance on the 2nd Ammendment, but also his support for partial birth abortions and his subversion of the war effort.
On the above linked pages the local Obama supporters talk about a rally they recently had to shout at passing cars. They say they are going to do it again and I am sure the event will show up on the Obama website. I just may show up with the following sign:
Obama Supports
Partial Birth Abortion
I just may show up with the following sign
Please do.
I was under the impression that Obama was somewhat moderate on the abortion issue (as Democrats go). Thanks for pointing this out. I’m sure it will win him a few more votes among “progressives,” but it raises my concerns about the junior senator from Illinois.
I still think that on the whole, Obama is the lesser of two evils (Hillary being the greater), but this does even up this score quite a bit.
I am truly perplexed at the course the Dem’s seem to be taking, I had thought that wiser heads would prevail and Edwards would get it. The lesser of three evils. At the same time I still believe it will be Hillary as that is what the press wants. The press also wanted McCain as they believe him more defeatable by Hillary than any of the others.
Osamma has been a thorn in the side of the press. He calls himself Black, although he really is mixed, so the press following the PC garbage it has so efficiently trained the country to (say no evil about any non-White unless they are conservative) has not been able to contain him.
While the above abortion issue is truly disgusting it won’t hurt Osamma as Billery is the same on the issue. They won’t talk about the obviously racists church he attends either. (would be if it were White anyway)

This entire election is the biggest mess, on both sides, I’ve ever seen. Our country’s downward spiral is about to accelerate past “warped” 9.
About showing up with anything anti-Osamma, just remember a large group of young blacks can turn violent very quickly.
