UK: Muslim Students Back Killing In The Name Of Islam
God Save The Queen. And the Brits too.
A third of Muslim university students believe killing in the name of religion can be justified, a survey has revealed.
A study on the attitudes of students has found that 28 per cent said killing could be justified if the religion was under attack and another four per cent supported killing in order to "promote and preserve" the religion.
Over half, 53 per cent, said killing in the name of religion was never justifiable but among non-Muslim students that figure was 94 per cent.
While most students showed a typical generation gap where their parents were more religious than they were – 72 per cent – a significant 18 per cent said they were more strict in their religious observance than their parents.
The importance of sharia law to most Muslim was underlined by the 40 per cent who said they supported its introduction into law for Muslims in Britain, although 37 per cent opposed it.
A third of those surveyed supported the creation of a worldwide Muslim caliphate but 25 per cent opposed it and 42 per cent said they were not sure.
Half of the students said they would not be supportive of a friend who wanted to leave Islam.
Hannah Stuart, from the Centre for Social Cohesion, co-author of the report, said: "These findings are deeply alarming. Students in higher education are the future leaders of their communities yet significant numbers of them appear to hold beliefs which contravene liberal, democratic values.
"In addition there are signs of growing religious segregation on campus. These results are deeply embarrassing for those who have said that there is no extremism in British universities."
There are 90,000 Muslims among Britain's 2.3 million students in high education and the online survey asked 600 Muslims and 800 non-Muslims for their views on the religion.
Radicalisation among students has been a problem since the 1990s, with three of the July 7 bombers having attended university, along with most of the gang which planned a fertilizer bomb attack on the Bluewater shopping centre and the Ministry of Sound night club.
Ahmed Omar Sheikh, convicted of the kidnap and murder of the journalist Daniel Pearl, was a former student at LSE and Waseem Mughal, convicted of running a website for al-Qaeda in Iraq, was a former biochemistry student at Leicester University.
The cut out arabic calligraphy reads 'muslim'! Displayed by a British Muslim artist at the Islam Expo London 2006
Mughal was a member of the university Islamic society, and the fertilizer bomber Jawad Akbar attended Islamic society meetings at Brunel University, while Yassin Nassari, convicted of smuggling plans for a Qassam rocket into Britain, was president of the University of Westminster's Islamic society at its Harrow campus in Northwest London.
The Government has attempted to encourage lecturers to report students they suspect of radical behaviour but the University and College Union has refused to do so.
A quarter of those surveyed were members of their Islamic society – compared with six per cent for other faiths - but only a third said the societies promoted interfaith activities.
Over a third of students said they used the campus prayer room regularly and 42 per cent said they regularly attended Friday prayers, although only a small proportion attending prayers were female.
None of the students admitted to being gay or lesbian and 25 per cent said they had little or no respect for others who were.
When it came to wearing the hijab or headscarf, 59 per cent said it was important, with more women than men agreeing, but 31 per cent said it was not and 10 per cent said they were not sure, with more men than women being uncertain.
A quarter of students said men and women were not equal in the eyes of Allah and seven per cent were not sure, with more women than men feeling unequal.
By contrast 76 per cent of non-muslim believed that men and women were not equal in Islam.
Nearly half of women and 36 per cent of men believe that the "free mixing" of sexes is not acceptable, while nine per cent of women and 17 per cent of men are unsure.
Despite their adherence to religion it did not stop most Muslim from mixing with other religions – 37 per cent said they had friends at university from all sorts of different backgrounds and 38 per cent said religion was not an issue when choosing friends and only eight per cent said most of their friends at university were Muslim.
More than two thirds of the students said Islam was compatible with the Western notion of democracy, and only 13 per cent said it was not, although 19 per cent were not sure.
Half of non-Muslim students thought the two were incompatible.
Three quarters of the students also said that it is possible to be both Muslim and British equally, although only three per cent said being British came first. Nearly half said they were not bothered whether they married a British partner or not.
On the other hand 57 per cent of the students said Muslims serving in the armed forces should have the right to opt out of the army if they are required to fight in Muslim countries and 25 per cent said they were not sure.
The National Union of Students said: "We know there is concern about the serious issue of violent extremism on campus, but there is a wealth of evidence to show that this is not widespread. This report actually undermines cohesion and the joint efforts of students, institutions and government in tackling violent extremism."

Ted Kennedy's Favorite Buddy...Err...Pet
Shrew identified as world's hardest drinking creature
Lewis Smith, Environment Reporter
A tropical shrew with a taste for alcoholic nectar has been identified as the hardest-drinking creature in the world.
Pentailed tree shrews have such an appetite for alcohol that each night they imbibe, weight for weight, the equivalent of a human downing up to nine glasses of wine.
Their capacity to hold their drink and keep a clear head, however, puts human boozers to shame. After a night supping at the jungle bar the shrews are not even unsteady on their feet, let alone being copiously sick or starting drunken fights.
They get their drinks from bertam palms, which grow in the jungles of West Malaysia and produce nectar boasting an alcohol content that can match beer.
The strength of the nectar varies but it is sufficiently loaded for the shrews to be drunk every three nights if they got inebriated as easily as people.
Pentailed tree shrews, Ptilocercus lowii, were described by scientists studying them as chronic drinkers with such a high alcoholic consumption that their habit would be likely to kill other mammals, including humans.

Giant American Flag Will Continue To Fly At Car Dealership
A giant American flag that is larger than a city ordinance allows will be allowed to continue to fly at a popular Central Florida car dealership.
Monday night, Leesburg city commissioners agreed that the flag at the Cecil Clark Chevrolet dealership is more like a landmark since it has been on display for 20 years, and said it could stay.
Earlier this month, the commission wanted the flag removed.
"The community decided that they wanted better standards on the roadways," city manager Jay Evans said during an earlier interview. "We love the American flag and we are patriotic but there are standards that are in place now and we need to talk about whether or not -- in the future -- those are the right standards to have."
Clark launched a full-page ad in a local newspaper asking, "Do you find the sight of this flag objectionable?" with a photo of the American flag before Monday's decision.
The giant flag is 65 feet higher and 120 square feet bigger than the new Leesburg city ordinance allows.

Heller Fires Second Salvo
Gun Ban Plaintiff Dick Heller Files New Lawsuit Against Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON — The plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that overturned Washington's 32-year-old handgun ban has filed a new federal lawsuit against the city.
In a complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court, Dick Heller and two other plaintiffs allege that the city's new gun regulations still violate rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
The lawsuit cites the District of Columbia's unusual ban on firearms that carry more than 12 rounds of ammunition, which includes most semiautomatic handguns.
The suit also claims that the city's regulations make it all but impossible for residents to keep a gun ready for immediate self defense in the home.
The Supreme Court struck down Washington's handgun ban June 26. The D.C. Council passed emergency legislation July 15 in an effort to comply with the court's ruling.
From FoxNews
I hope it's a Title 18 lawsuit.

Fox News Special: Murder in the Family - Honor Killing in America
This post is just case you missed the the disturbing but very important report aired this evening by Fox on the Islamic honor killing in America.
I do have a question, maybe somebody can enlighten me: what's "honorable" about murdering young women - that most times are your own daughter or sister?
Because I can see no honor in premeditating and perpetrating in cold blood such a horrible and cowardly act - unless you are a muslim.

I would gladly volunteer - hell no, I would even pay for the privilege for the authorities to let me put the needle in that bastard's arm when his time comes to go to hell for murdering Amina and Sarah. And I would do the same for his bastard son Islam - who betrayed, conspired and was an accessory to the murder of his sisters.
It beats me but one thing I can't understand: why is that scum of the Earth still free?

Read Amina and Sarah's Autopsy Report: Depraved, Brutal
I have been going through the autopsy reports with friend and former prosecutor John Jay (who has seen a fair number of autopsies in his time) and these reports paint a gruesome picture. Yaser Said was a beast. What a brutal death. The islamic curse of honorcide must be stopped.
John Jay provided excellent analysis, observations and extrapolations. What follows is much of his deductions. Important to note, in short, these autopsies appear to have been done on the cheap, fast and dirty, with no intention on the part of the authorities to do anything other that a very cursory and superficial death investigation. John has never, in his 25 years, working in rural counties in Washington state, ever seen anything so superficial, not even the most inexperienced pathologist report he ever saw was so superficial. And, when something was a little novel, and there were not confessions or eyewitnesses or weapons recovered, pathologist were flown in from the state crime lab and pathologist's offices, to perform competent examines.
These girls were tortured. The wounds and and the placement of the gun against the skin were point blank. Sarah in particular had a long painful death. The shots were deliberately placed not to kill immediately, but to prolong the death process.

Cleopatra Stratan, world's youngest successful singer
"Ghita" (Romanian abbreviation for the name George) -the hit song you are about to watch a clip of, reached #1 in national charts and was recorded by the 3 year old performer in Romanian, Spanish and English.
The song, featured Cleopatra's double-platinum album " The Age Of Three" also won 3 MTV Romania awards of which the most important are Best Song and Best New Artist.
Ghita - English Version:
Cleopatra gave her first live concert in the front of an audience limited by the event organizers at 400 people at the age 3 when she interpreted 28 songs in 2 hours accompanied by her father, Pavel Stratan. She is actually the first artist ever to perform live on a stage in front of a large audience at such an young age.
The same year she recorded "At The Age Of 3" and sold 150,000 copies. That makes Cleopatra the youngest performer ever to record an entire album - and a double platinum one nevertheless.
On the Christmas Day 2006 a new record was smashed – Cleopatra was paid 10,000 Euros (like 16,000 USD) for one single song performed in front of a large audience in Piatra Neamt, Romania. The entire sum was then donated to a charity helping the poor.
Cleopatra Stratan has just launched her Cleopatra singing-doll last Saturday, selling the first 5,000 lot of dolls in just three days. Cleopatra, the doll, is 35 centimeters high and knows to sing “Ghita”. Available at 150 Romanian lei (about $70), the doll 'lives' in a red traveling bag similar to the one that Cleopatra used to carry in her video for "Ghita".
The Spanish company that produces the doll announced it would also come up with clothes for the doll, imitating the apparel used by the little singer on the stage and in videos.
"Cleopatra Stratan, the 3 year old who has hit the Romanian music charts big, seems to have become famous because her childlike singing and childlike charms are something different . . . she has not been made into a miniature adult, given the wardrobe of a sex symbol, or been thrust into the latest gore-ridden horror flick. In Eastern Europe, children are still children and generally must be protected as such; Cleopatra's father has refused monetary offers to market her. With her oversized suitcase, pink plastic sunglasses, and disheveled pigtails, Cleopatra is singing an innocuous song about a missing person named Ghita, who could be her big brother, uncle, or friend - no innuendos here".
Update: found another Cleopatra videoclip, this time she raps for Santa Claus:

Man (religion undetermined) critical after alleged crime spree
An Atlanta man who allegedly stole a truck in Shelbyville Wednesday is in critical condition in a Chattanooga hospital after allegedly attempting to sexually assault a woman, run down a deputy and flee from police at high speed through Franklin County.
According to a report by Shelbyville police officer Josh Leverette, Francisco Carrillo told authorities that Abbas Hussein, who was in town "for a camp" at an East Depot Street location described by Leverette as "possibly a Somalian mosque," reached into Carrillo's right front pocket and took his car keys.
Carrillo told police he believed Hussein may have been headed toward Murfreesboro to possibly board a bus for Atlanta, since he asked for a ride to the bus station earlier in the day, the report said.
Instead, Hussein allegedly took the 1996 Ford Explorer and headed south, where he allegedly entered Center Grove Baptist Church between Estill Springs and Tullahoma about 9 p.m. and allegedly attempted to rape a woman in the building.
A report by Franklin County Deputy Charles Stines stated that Hussein entered the church asking for water, but the woman present asked him to leave when she became suspicious of the man.
Hussein then allegedly tried to convince the woman to perform a sex act and when she refused to do so, offered her $10 for the act, with the woman telling Hussein "she was a Christian and married and that he needed to leave."
The report states that Hussein grabbed the woman's hand and twisted it, but she began to kick him and he let her go. She then entered the office of the church with the man behind her, according to police records, with Hussein allegedly grabbing her purse, but the woman "forcibly removed it from his hands."
Following a struggle, the woman was able to shut the door, placing her feet on a cabinet to brace herself against the door to prevent the man from getting into the church office. The woman then called 9-1-1 to report the incident, at which time Hussein left the building.
Following that incident, Franklin County deputies received a report that a 1999 Ford F-250 had been stolen from Speedy Sak Market north of Estill Springs, with Hussein allegedly leaving Carrillo's truck behind. The stolen vehicle was spotted by Sgt. Milton Binkley of the sheriff's department, who attempted to pull it over.
Hussein was driving without lights and pulled into Kennith Wessner Ford but, as Binkley attempted an arrest, Hussein allegedly sped away from the scene, nearly running him down. The officer suffered an injured ankle as he dove out of the path of the stolen truck, according to Lt. Mike Bell of the Franklin County Sheriff Department.
The stolen vehicle was then spotted by Deputy Robert Tipps, who also attempted to stop Hussein, near Speedway Market on U.S. 64 travelling toward Huntland. Tipps' report stated that Hussein was "driving very erratic and was all over the roadway."
Tipps reported that Hussein then crossed the center line and left the roadway, entering the grassy median, where the truck struck an emergency turn around area, went airborne and rolled several times, ejecting the driver. The chase and accident were captured on the dash video camera in Tipps' patrol car.
The report said Hussein appeared dead at the scene, but officers managed to clear his airway and Hussein began to breathe again. Paramedics from Rural Metro Ambulance Service arrived, requesting a helicopter to land at Southern Tennessee Medical Center in Winchester, which flew Hussein to Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga.
Tipps' report stated that the truck Hussein was in at Center Grove Baptist Church was the one stolen from Carillo in Shelbyville.
Lt. Bell told the T-G Thursday that Hussein's family in Atlanta explained the man had been "attending a religious conference of some kind in Shelbyville."
Hussein is facing a list of charges including attempted sexual assault, aggravated assault, theft of property, failure to yield to blue lights, among other offenses, Bell said.
"He didn't seem to be under the influence," Bell said. "I don't know what he was thinking when he did it."

So This Is What The Democrats Really Mean When They Say "It's For The Children"!
Assemblyman Neil Cohen(D) under child porn investigation
Deputy Assembly Speaker Neil Cohen is being investigated for alleged possession of child pornography, according to two of his Democratic colleagues who said they brought the matter to the attention of law enforcement.
Sick bastard
In a joint statement, Sen. Raymond Lesniak and Assemblyman Joseph Cryan (both D-Union) confirmed they alerted authorities to the possibility Cohen (D-Union) had child pornography on his computers.
"As the facts became apparent in our office, we notified the appropriate agency and will continue to assist in any way possible," Lesniak and Cryan said. "While it was our proactive steps that led to the investigation to this point, we are appalled at what has transpired."
At least one of Cohen's computers from the Union Township legislative office the three lawmakers share was confiscated by the Attorney General's Office, according to three sources who have been briefed on the investigation. Two of the sources said a legislative staffer initially discovered the images, then notified Lesniak and Cryan. The sources declined to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
"Both of us have known Neil Cohen for more than two decades," Lesniak and Cryan said. "We know him as a compassionate, caring individual but if the allegations prove true, clearly there was a side to him neither of us knew. We have been instructed to not make any further comments regarding this very serious matter."
Sources said Cohen was under psychiatric care Thursday night. He could not be reached for comment.

Peaceful Muslims Send Letter Of Support Against Islamic Terrorism To Italy PM Silvio Berlusconi
If you really believed the headline, I have a cheap condo to sell you on the top of the Eiffel Tower ;)
Now that I got your attention, here is the real story:
Italian Newspaper Receives Death Threat Letter Addressed To Italy PM Silvio Berlusconi:
We Will Hit You And The Other Infidels, Allah-U-Akhbar!
(that sounds more like it!)
ROME --Italian daily La Repubblica received a death threat letter Friday aimed at Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the newspaper's Web site reported.
The letter, which contained a bullet and also proclaimed "Allah is Great," vows to "hit" Berlusconi as well as the speakers of Italy's upper and lower parliamentary chambers, Renato Schifani and Gianfranco Fini, the Web site said.
Signor Berlusconi preparing his infidel neck for the Islamic ritual beheading

In January, a letter threatening Berlusconi and his brother Paolo - containing two bullets - was received by the Milan daily Il Giornale.
Berlusconi, while prime minister in 2001, infuriated Muslims and appalled Western diplomats with remarks asserting the superiority of Western civilization over Islam.

Italian Newspaper Receives Death Threat Letter Addressed To Italy PM Silvio Berlusconi:
We Will Hit You And The Other Infidels, Allah-U-Akhbar!
(that sounds more like it!)
ROME --Italian daily La Repubblica received a death threat letter Friday aimed at Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the newspaper's Web site reported.
The letter, which contained a bullet and also proclaimed "Allah is Great," vows to "hit" Berlusconi as well as the speakers of Italy's upper and lower parliamentary chambers, Renato Schifani and Gianfranco Fini, the Web site said.

Howard Stern: 'I Will Never Vote For a Democrat Again'
Even Howard Stern (not exactly the poster boy for Conservatism), can see that the Democrats have become the advocates of hard-core Marxism-Leninism in America:
Welcome to the real world, Howard!
Stern on XM/Sirius Merger: 'I Will Never Vote For a Democrat Again'
Satellite radio talk show star cites 'gangsterism,' 'communism' for holding up deal.
Sirius Satellite Radio host Howard Stern supports the merger of his network with XM Satelitte Radio and is fuming at Democratic opposition on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) panel.
After FCC commissioners announced they have reached a deal to approve the merger of Sirius (NASDAQ:SIRI) and XM (NASDAQ:XMSR), Stern ranted about Democrats’ ‘gangsterism’ and ‘communism’ and the obstacles to the merger.
Stern described a phone conversation he had with his agent, who he described as a “liberal Democrat kind of guy.”
“I go, ‘That’s it!’” Stern said. “[I] go, ‘You know what Don, I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat. I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don’t give a [expletive] – no matter who they are. I don’t care if God becomes a Democrat.’ I said, ‘I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry. I am done with them.’”
Stern took it a step even further and called Democrats on the FCC “communists” and referred to their tactics as “gangsterism.”
“The fact that these Democrats on the FCC are communists,” Stern said. “They’re for communism. They don’t want to see companies – this is gangsterism. I said, ‘This is crazy.’”

W: The Dark Knight?
I've seen the movie myself. Comparing the President with Batman may look a little silly at first, but there are indeed plenty of parallels between the plot of The Dark Knight and the War on Terror.
For example: the media and some Gotham City citizens accusing Batman - the hero trying to save their own city for escalating the violence by going after the evil doers and causing more harm to the community than good; the scene with the eavesdropping machine, capable of listening to all cellphone conversations in the city - unfortunately, the only device available to Batman capable of locating the bad guys in time and stop an imminent massacre. Then there is also the dilemma confronting our President, the military and the intelligence services: if sometimes the only effective way to fight pure evil is to take the gloves off, get down and dirty and bend the rules, is it OK to go on that road as long as it saves save innocent lives in imminent peril?
There are many others, but I don't want to go into more details and spoil the plot as if any of you didn't see this movie, then you don't know what you are missing.
Here is Andrew Klavan from WSJ with a nice analysis of the parallels between the fictional Batman character and Dubya:

What Bush and Batman Have in Common
By ANDREW KLAVAN
July 25, 2008; Page A15
Wall Street Journal
A cry for help goes out from a city beleaguered by violence and fear: A beam of light flashed into the night sky, the dark symbol of a bat projected onto the surface of the racing clouds . . .
Oh, wait a minute. That's not a bat, actually. In fact, when you trace the outline with your finger, it looks kind of like . . . a "W."
There seems to me no question that the Batman film "The Dark Knight," currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand. Like W, Batman sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency, certain that he will re-establish those boundaries when the emergency is past.
And like W, Batman understands that there is no moral equivalence between a free society -- in which people sometimes make the wrong choices -- and a criminal sect bent on destruction. The former must be cherished even in its moments of folly; the latter must be hounded to the gates of Hell.
"The Dark Knight," then, is a conservative movie about the war on terror. And like another such film, last year's "300," "The Dark Knight" is making a fortune depicting the values and necessities that the Bush administration cannot seem to articulate for beans.

Obama lands another endoswment - Gains street cred
Is this what PDiddy, 50 Cents, Paris Hilton and their liberal friends meant with the "Vote or Die" electoral slogan?
The rest here
Dale Leo Bishop put to death:
Apology, Obama endorsment precedes execution
PARCHMAN — Before he died Wednesday evening, death row inmate Dale Leo Bishop apologized to his victim's family, thanked America and urged people to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
"For those who oppose the death penalty and want to see it end, our best bet is to vote for Barack Obama because his supporters have been working behind the scenes to end this practice," Bishop said.
Bishop, 34, was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 6:14 p.m. - the second inmate put to death in Mississippi in two months. Earl Wesley Berry, 49, was executed May 21.
The execution culminated a flurry of last-minute appeals that began late last month seeking to save Bishop's life.
A Lee County jury convicted Bishop in 2000 of participating in the murder of Marcus Gentry, who was beaten to death in December 1998 with a claw hammer. His body was found along a logging road near Saltillo.

The Hollywood Insurgency
The bad news: like all the good communist dictators they admire,when liberals get unlimited power (like they do in Hollywood), your free speech and political dissent can cost you your job and career. But not your life. Yet.
The good news: it looks like some 600 mostly anonymous men and women working in the film industry, fed-up with the climate of intimidation imposed on them by the overwhelming far-left majority (who decides who is employed and who isn't on the basis of the employee political leaning), came to the conclusion that enough is enough.
They started to meet each other in semi-clandestine meetings and and organize what I ironically named "The Hollywood Insurgency":
Hollywood's Conservative Underground
'Friends of Abe' group meets quietly
A group of politically conservative and centrist Hollywood figures organized by actor Gary Sinise and others has been meeting quietly in restaurants and private homes, forming a loose-knit network of entertainers who share common beliefs like supporting U.S. troops and traditional American values.

Some of those involved are taking more public steps to counter the entertainment industry's tilt toward liberalism and Democratic politics, such as campaigning for Republican Sen. John McCain or crafting projects to portray America in a more positive light.
The group, whose members call themselves "Friends of Abe" after Abraham Lincoln, was organized as an underground movement because of fears that prominent industry titans with outspoken liberal views would retaliate, said participants. They often were reluctant to name members of the group in interviews for fear it would hurt their careers.
"It's a growing movement, and word is getting out that there's many of us in this business ...," said 1950s singer Pat Boone, one of the few conservatives to talk about the movement publicly. "If certain studio execs - hirers and firers - learn that this is a movement and growing, and that some of these people that they hire are of this inclination, these people could be unemployed."

Only Eight Days After 9/11, Barak Hussein Obama Apologizes For The Islamic Terrorists
"We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."
Oh, the poor poor Islamic terrorists, if only they could have more empathy they would not be so mad at us.
Perhaps, we should give them all our treasure (we actually are, paying a ridiculously high price for the free oil flowing under their feet), educate them (we actually do accept them in our Universities) and give them all jobs (we are, sending millions of jobs to Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia) so they would not think about hurting us.
For, according to BHO, their mass murdering actions only stem from the poverty and ignorance brought upon them by the ruthless exploitation of the Western imperialist powers...

Viva Obama!
Just in case you need another reason to get up and vote against Obamessiah:
The shameless cult of personality video above is strikingly similar with the ones I have been "blessed" (read forced) to watch in my youth back in communist Romania. Here are just two samples (captioned in English).
If Obama - the candidate isn't only not bothered, but is actually enjoying the whoring of the mass media and the communist-inspired shameless cult of personality expressed by his propagandists in music, videos, posters and poems, can anyone imagine what Obama -the President will be capable of?
An old "patriotic" tune from my old country (with slightly adapted lyrics) rings in my ears:
"Obama, The Party, USA!"
