McCullough, Kevin. 2011. No He Can’t: How Barack Obama is Dismantling Hope and Change. Thomas Nelson: Nashville, TN
Kevin McCullough predicted the rise of Barack Obama before he was taken seriously as a presidential candidate. He followed Obama early on in his career as a community organizer in Chicago and predicted in [...]
Malcolm Muggeridge wrote about British Prime Ministers and what he said applies entirely to our elected leaders:
We like to persuade ourselves that our leaders betray the trust imposed in them and distort the aspirations of those who elect them. Actually they represent us all too exactly…No one is miscast. Each leaves the country appreciably [...]
Obama, over and over again, said that he supported tax increases ONLY for those with a household income of $250,000 and above. Well, I don’t make that and would consider that amount as above middle class, but still don’t support tax increases unless absolutely necessary.
Anyhow, I took careful note when I heard [...]
“The budget should be balanced,
the Treasury should be refilled,
public debt should be reduced,
the arrogance of officialdom
should be tempered and controlled,
and the assistance to foreign lands
should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.
People must again learn to work,

Well, it took the UK Times to break yet another story on a Barack Obama relatives who lives in a less than “hopeful” situation (pun intended). See: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5042571.ece

Now I know that many of you are wondering what in the world this title is talking about. Let me explain some terms and how all of these things connect:
1. Margaret Sanger was the founder of the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood. While trumped by some as a hero [...]

A cardboard cutout of Obama was hanging from a tree with his head hung in fishwire and the words “Act Six Reject”, which is a scholarship program for minorities. I am saddened but not surprised at the story. More than an assault of Obama, it is [...]
I know this is coming late…but better late than never. Anyhow, here are my thoughts on the shindig from last week.
1. Ratings – there is some dispute about the exact specificity of the ratings, but it is clear that the Republican Convention was viewed more heavily than the Democratic [...]
Joe Biden and Barack Obama both made reference to lipstick and apparently denied that it had anything to do with Sarah Palin.
Joe Biden also questioned the support of the Republican ticket for parents with developmentally challenged children.
I am an Independent, but I want to say that the Democrats have been [...]
Voters should be troubled by Obama’s abortion stance Dennis Byrne August 26, 2008
Can we just listen to ourselves? We’re debating whether some babies born alive have a right to medical attention.
How have we come to this? Can’t we all agree that everyone whose heart beats, brain functions and lungs respire [...]

Barack Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton responded to John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin with the following: “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to [...]
Well, Barack Obama has just finished his much anticipated speech in front of thousands of folks, and millions of more viewers. I want to go back to day 1 and offer my humble thoughts on how effective the Demcorats were at this convention.
Day 1 – Michelle Obama…I would say that Michelle [...]
Cameron Strang, the publisher of “Relevant” magazine, and son of Stephen Strang (publisher of “Charisma” magazine and books), has had ongoing dialogue with Barack Obama about issues of faith and public policy.
I want to say right away that I am grateful for such dialogue. It rarely hurts to have a talk, unless [...]
Senator Barack Obama stated at the Saddleback Forum that he would work to reduce the number of abortions. I was hoping that Pastor Rick Warren would follow up by asking a question I have long wanted interviewers to ask, “Why is reducing the number of abortions a good thing?”. I [...]
I came across an interesting and tragic story regarding Obama’s opposition to the “Born Alive Infants Protection Act” (http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/2008/08/more-barack-obama-lies-exposed-about.html). Here are some clips from YouTube regarding this issue-

Obama’s advisors disallowed the attendance of a couple Muslims from being on stage at a recent Obama rally because they were too visibly Muslim (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91658107). Also, just recently, Obama has decided to wear the flag lapel, citing his patriotism in a speech at Independence, MO (http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=bf9cbfa7-9364-448d-8792-bf93d44e1f0f).

I would vehemently decline any opportunity for a pro-aborter/pro-choice to hold my baby, considering these very babies are the ones they believe are dispensable at a woman’s choice. disgusting tragedy. i cringed when i witnessed democrats at random rallies clips shown on tv, handing their babies over to these 2 democratic leaders to hold and take [...]
