Send a big thank you to McDonald's and American Airlines

Bill Johnson of American Decency.org passed on good new concerning two companies...

First:
Quoting from Don Wildmon's Email alert:

Great news! Because of AFA supporters like you, McDonald’s has told AFA they will remain neutral in the culture war regarding homosexual marriage. AFA is ending the boycott of McDonald’s. As you know, AFA called for the boycott in May after McDonald’s joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).

McDonald’s said McDonald’s Vice President Richard Ellis has resigned his position on the board of NGLCC and that his seat on the board will not be replaced. McDonald’s also said that the company has no plans to renew their membership in NGLCC when it expires in December.

In an e-mail to McDonald’s franchised owners the company said, “It is our policy to not be involved in political and social issues. McDonald’s remains neutral on same sex marriage or any ‘homosexual agenda’ as defined by the American Family Association.”

We appreciate the decision by McDonald’s to no longer support political activity by homosexual activist organizations. You might want to thank your local McDonald’s manager.

Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible contribution to help us continue?

Sincerely,
Don

Express thanks to McDonald's

Porn Blocker: American Will Now Filter In-Flight Web Content
Posted by Matt Phillips October 8, 2008, 9:00 am

In a shift, American Airlines has said it is working with the provider of its in-flight internet service to develop a system to block pornographic content.

In a statement it put out early Tuesday evening the carrier said it made the decision “based on the feedback of our customers and employees.” American launched an in-flight Web service called Gogo — which is provided by Aircell — on three routes Aug. 20.

“Since the launch of Gogo, American has not experienced any reported incidents of customers viewing inappropriate content via the Gogo service. However, we believe this is an appropriate measure to take,” the company said in a statement.

Obama: Proclaimed messiah by Farrakhan

An article on NewsBusters.org by P.J. Gladnick provides a link a video of the Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, declaring Barack Obama to be a messiah. Gladnick thinks the video was made in February but was just uploaded to YouTube yesterday. Sean Hannity played an audio clip of Farrakhan's pronouncement on his show today.

Quote of the Day

"I saw this headline yesterday in the online version of the Washington Post, it may answer the question of where we are going:

Fed Moves to Boost Lending With New Fund

Purchase of commercial paper, or short-term debt, puts central bank in unprecedented position of, in effect, funding individual companies.”

"The italics are mine… folks, this is unabashed socialism… as opposed to the mere ‘abashed’ socialism inherent in the bailout bill.

For the 70 or so among you that got The Road to Serfdom from us via download, if you haven’t read it yet, skip to the comic in back and note the similarities. Also note the cheating by the Obama folks to try and win this election… do you think such people will be above similar tactics to try and push their agenda once in office? If they’d do it now, why wouldn’t they do it later? If you’d like a copy of Hayek’s (short) and famous tract about economics and freedom called “The Road to Serfdom,” email us at KC4AG@Cuccinelli.com and let us know and we’ll email you a copy you can read on your computer (it’s about 30+ pages long).

My last thought here is that now that the government now dominates the financial services industry, and over half of all of the money in healthcare is either paid by or directed by government, we now have two HUGE sectors of our economy that have been socialized, if not yet nationalized. If this isn’t a bit more than a mere slippery slope, I don’t know what is…"

John McCain: Clear talk not contradictions

MCCAIN WINS SECOND DEBATE

John McCain Won Debate

He won by clearly laying out a plan to help Americans stay in their homes and get our economy back on track by creating jobs.

John McCain clearly talked about what he would do to help middle-class Americans - securing their mortgages, achieving energy independence and helping them keep their jobs.

From Barack Obama, we heard more contradictions between what he says and what he has done.

After months of opposing offshore drilling, we heard Barack Obama say he supported offshore drilling.

After abandoning his promise for a middle class tax cut after his 2004 campaign, we heard Barack Obama make the same empty promise.

After proposing billions in new spending, we heard Barack Obama claim he will cut the size of government.

Planned Parenthood: Friend to Rapists and Abusers?

Tony Perkins of Family Research Council Action describes what your tax dollars appear to be paying for in the liberal halls of the country's largest abortion factory. How progressive. Would Obama want this for his daughters?

Leaving Children at Risk

A highly anticipated case in Ohio's Supreme Court could go a long way toward exposing a series of Planned Parenthood cover-ups. The parents of a 14-year-old girl are suing the abortion merchant for refusing to report abuse. They believe, based on the cavalier treatment of their daughter (whose pregnancy was caused by her 21-year-old soccer coach), that Planned Parenthood didn't act with any level of diligence in what should have been a case of suspected statutory rape. The parents are seeking records of similar abortions at Planned Parenthood, with all personal information of the minor girls removed, to show that Planned Parenthood does not report suspected abuse except when the teenage girl makes an overt statement to that effect. Under Planned Parenthood's practices, young girls who are fearful of their abuser or unaware of their rights bear all the burden of exposing the criminal act. Planned Parenthood wants to conceal data that would display their reckless disregard for the welfare of these girls. Aborting these young girls and sending them back to their abusers is bad medicine and worse public policy. If Planned Parenthood indeed has nothing to hide and is making reports after carefully asking these very young girls about their situations, the redacted records will show it. The parents in this case-and all parents -have the right to know if the well-being of their children is being served by the nation's abortion behemoth.

Obama: Friend to terrorists

The Traditional Values Coalition give a laundry list of the people who may have influenced Obama's thinking, and are still guiding his thinking.

Meet Some More of Barack Obama’s Political Mentors:
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn

“What a country [America]. It makes me want to puke.” – Bill Ayers, 2001
“I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” – Bill Ayers, Sept. 11, 2001

CAUTION: Some of this content may be offensive.

October 8, 2008 – During the last few months, TVC has been reporting on Senator Barack Obama’s political allies and his political views. This is another in this ongoing series.

Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are unrepentant domestic terrorists. During the 1970s, they were part of the Weatherman, a Communist splinter group of Students for a Democratic Society.

In his biography, Fugitive Days, Ayers brags about his involvement in bombing the New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the U.S. Capitol Building in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972. Ayers described the day he bombed the Pentagon with these words: “Everything was absolutely ideal. … The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And, the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.” Dohrn is as heartless as her husband. During one anti-war rally, she praised the Manson family for murdering Sharon Tate and others: “Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim’s stomach! Wild!” At another rally, Dohrn said: “Bring the revolution home, kill your parents – that’s where it’s at.”

Ayers, Dohrn and the Weatherman were responsible for 30 bombings around the country. He and his wife spent the next 10 years as fugitives from the FBI. In 1980, they surrendered to authorities, but all charges were dropped against them due to improper surveillance.

Where are Ayers and Dohrn today? Bill Ayers is the “Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois in Chicago. He instructs teachers how to indoctrinate children with liberal ideals.

Bernardine Dohrn is the Director of Children and Family Justice Center at the Northwestern University, a law professor at Northwestern University Law School.

Obama Gets His Start In Ayers’ Home

Although Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) initially told reporters that Ayers was just a guy who lived in the same neighborhood – and that he barely knew him – facts have emerged showing this to be untrue.

It now appears that Obama has known Ayers and Dohrn since at least 1987. Ayers was an activist at the time with the Alliance for Better Chicago Schools, and Obama’s Developing Communities Project was a member of this leftist alliance.

There are also possible connections between Obama and Dohrn through the law firm of Sidley & Austin. Dohrn was at this firm from 1984-1988. Michelle Obama also worked at Sidley & Austin, beginning in 1988. She met Barack at Sidley & Austin when he came on as a summer associate.

In 1995, Obama was introduced to Ayers and Dohrn by Illinois state Senator Alice Palmer who had hand-picked Obama to replace her in the Senate. Palmer was a well-known Communist sympathizer and decades-long supporter of the Soviet Union.

Ayers and Dohrn held Obama’s first political fundraiser in their living room to help launch his political career.

In addition, Bill Ayers founded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Foundation, and Obama became the chairman of the board of this group only months after his first run for political office. While serving on this foundation, Ayers and Obama distributed millions of dollars for educational projects. Ayers described his views on education as socialist indoctrination in an interview he gave to the Communist publication, Revolution in October, 2006. Ayers says that education can’t be separated from politics – and applauded John Dewey’s socialist policies that have so greatly influenced public education.

In 1997, Obama’s wife Michelle invited Ayers to be on a panel discussing racism and the juvenile justice system. Ayers was joined on the panel by Barack Obama, a senior lecturer at the time at the University of Chicago law school. Michelle was working as Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University Community Service Center.

The Obama-Ayers-Dohrn connection extends to their involvement in the Woods Fund of Chicago. This foundation is involved in community organizing, arts and culture and working with low-income individuals and housing issues. This multi-million dollar enterprise is aided by grants from numerous leftist foundations, including the infamous Tides Foundation, Trinity United Church of Christ (where Obama attended church for 20 years), and ACORN, the notorious corrupt organization that routinely engages in voter fraud – and was involved with Obama in forcing banks to make risky loans to unqualified applicants.

Obama’s Palestinian Terrorist Friend

Ayers is a board member of the Woods Fund and Obama also served on the board. In 2002, the fund gave a grant to the Northwestern University Law School Children and Family Justice Center where Ayers’ wife, Bernadine, was employed.

Also serving on the Woods Fund board was a Palestinian activist named Rashid Khalidi, who is now a Columbia University professor. Khalidi was the former spokesman for Islamic terrorist Yasser Arafat. Khalidi was instrumental in having Iranian’s tyrannical president, Mahoud Ahmadinejad, come to Columbia University last year to give his anti-American, anti-Israel speech.

Obama and his wife Michelle and Khalidi and his wife were close friends. Leaders of this foundation donated more than $24,000 to Obama’s political campaign in Illinois.

Obama once said of Khalidi and the meals and discussions they shared together were “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. … It’s for that reason that I’m hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid’s dinner table,” but around “this entire world.”

Khalidi is rabidly anti-Israel and repeatedly accuses American officials of being “Zionist” stooges. He once called Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz “a fanatical, extreme right-wing Zionist.”

Khalidi believes Israel is not a democratic ally of America but an “apartheid system in creation” and a destructive “racist” state.

“Why Obama pals around with domestic and international terrorists and calls them his friends raises serious questions about his loyalties and judgment to lead this nation,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. “Voters should seriously consider the character issue when they vote in November.”

Democrat kow-towing to Eco-communism harms American citizens

When your home heating prices go sky high this winter, thank a Democrat for putting campaign contributions from environmentalists above the needs of their constituents. Then kick yourself if you voted for one.

Study Predicts Winter Heating Prices To Skyrocket For Consumers

Environmental Groups Are Purposely Forcing Prices Higher, AAE Says

Denver, CO (Oct. 8, 2008) -– A new national study that predicts winter home heating prices will jump 10-30 percent illustrates how consumers will be harmed by the efforts of environmental groups to block natural gas production as well as new power plants and power lines, according to Americans for American Energy.

"Consumers will soon start reaping the bitter harvest of environmental lobbying which seeks to hobble America's ability to produce the energy that consumers need," said Greg Schnacke, President and CEO of Americans for American Energy, a non-profit grassroots groups that promotes greater production of all forms of domestic energy. "The cruel truth is that these extremist groups actually want prices to skyrocket, so they can inflict price pain on consumers and force them to consumer less and adopt a lower standard of living."

"Low-income families are going to be hurt the most since, as prices rise, they have to devote a higher percentage of their income to pay for energy costs. Civil rights groups are calling this an immoral 'war on the poor' by these environmental groups, and I agree," he added.

The home heating price study, done by the American Gas Association (see this http://www.aga.org/Newsroom/news+releases/2008/NaturalGasUtilitiesWinter.htm), reported that utilities have had to purchase their winter natural gas supplies this summer when prices were at their peak due to the increasing use of natural gas for residential cooling. Utilities also have had to turn to new natural gas-fired plants to meet soaring energy demand, in part because they are easier to permit than coal-fired plants. New natural gas plants are also the back-up source of power for renewable energy like wind and solar, whose intermittent characteristics need the reliable capability gas-fired turbines add to their ability to dispatch a consistent source of electricity into the electrical grid.

Schnacke said that the strategy of environmental groups has been to force the nation’s electric utilities to abandon or delay the construction of coal-fired power plants across the nation and turn to natural gas power as a replacement. But the same environmental groups also work to block natural gas drilling on millions of acres federal lands, which translates into higher home heating and commercial energy costs.

“While they stop affordable coal-fired power plants they also block production of the natural gas needed to fuel gas power plants. These groups know what they are doing. They are forcing higher energy prices because they have a larger social agenda for a weaker America that can’t grow economically by fully utilizing its abundant natural resources,” said Schnacke.

The AGA study appears to confirm this, Schnacke said, as it predicts that consumer prices might stabilize from lower demand caused by a slower economy and less consumer spending.

But Schnacke noted that a fundamental shift has occurred to significant utilization of natural gas year-round for electrical power. "This has changed the price structure for natural gas permanently. Coupled with the systematic opposition by environmental groups to stop supply development projects, this situation won’t change anytime soon," he said.

“What we need is a healthy energy production industry here in America that is not artificially inhibited by the agenda-driven environmental elites,” said Schnacke. “We must be allowed to meet our nation’s energy demand for new power by utilizing all sources of energy such as clean coal technology and new natural gas development that encourages new renewable energy development.”

Quote of the Day

"...the liberal media are filtering the news and report only what makes Obama look good or the GOP ticket look bad.

But the gloves are off. The McCain campaign has released another hard-hitting ad challenging Barack Obama for threatening to prosecute his political critics, while many of his ads were labeled “false” and “misleading.” The McCain commercial closes by saying, “He [Barack Obama] promised better. He lied.” The McCain campaign has also produced ads tying Obama to former Fannie Mae executives Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson.

Yesterday, Senator McCain went after Obama and the liberal Democrats in Congress for their role in the economic meltdown. Here is a brief excerpt of a speech Senator McCain gave in New Mexico:

“This crisis started in our housing market in the form of subprime loans that were pushed on people who could not afford them. Bad mortgages were being backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it was only a matter of time before a contagion of unsustainable debt began to spread. This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama. …

“Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year, [Obama] said that subprime loans had been, quote ‘a good idea.’ Well, Senator Obama, that ‘good idea’ has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. …

“The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them.”

On the downside, we continue to get reports of massive voter fraud by Obama’s leftwing allies at ACORN. Late last week, news broke that officials in Lake County, Indiana, “had to reject a large portion of 5,000 registration forms” turned in by ACORN. According to elections officials, ACORN workers “pulled names and addresses from telephone books and forged their signatures.” The article also noted that “Telephones to ACORN offices in Gary, Indianapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee were reported to be disconnected.”

There is breaking news this afternoon that authorities raided the ACORN headquarters in Las Vegas after elections officials in Nevada accused the pro-Obama group of “submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.” How many times do we have to read reports like this? ACORN should never receive another dime of your money, and the Justice Department and the IRS should thoroughly investigate this rogue outfit.

The Left will stop at nothing to win, and that’s why it is so important for men and women of faith to be engaged in the political process and support organizations like this political action committee. Take a stand! Click here to make a difference in this campaign for our pro-life, pro-family values."

Urge Senator Obama to Protect Babies' Rights

Too bad no social issues were discussed at tonight's Town Hall meeting. Obama needs to explain these votes.

Watch Our New Video and Urge Senator Obama to Protect Babies' Rights

Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) voted repeatedly to deny the unborn and survivors of abortion their basic rights. Four times as an Illinois legislator, he voted against laws that would have ensured equal medical care for babies that survive an abortion attempt. This "Born Alive Infant Protection" legislation was adopted by the U.S. Senate 98-0. But it was not good enough for Senator Obama.

Watch our new video here and see the details of these votes.

Senator Obama is also the leading supporter of legislation, called FOCA, which would make partial-birth abortion legal again, repeal all parental notice laws on abortion, and provide unlimited tax funding of abortion. For most Americans, these issues are settled. Not for Senator Obama.

Please watch our video now and call Senator Obama's office

at 202-224-2854. Tell him to support babies' basic rights.

Thank you for taking action today and God bless you.

The Pickens Energy Plan stands to enrich Pickens

The National Center for Public Policy Research would like Mr. Pickens to actually answer the questions

We Didn't Ask for an Apology, Mr. Pickens

Washington, D.C. - The following is the response of National Center for Public Policy Research President Amy Ridenour to T. Boone Pickens' response* when a reporter from the Detroit Free Press asked him about the National Center's new paper, "The Pickens Plan: Questions Unanswered," by Reece Epstein and David A. Ridenour:

"We didn't ask for an apology, Mr. Pickens, we asked about the Pickens Plan.

Specifically:

'Has oil production finally and irrevocably peaked, as you claim?

Why use wind power instead of nuclear power?

Are natural gas-powered vehicles a viable alternative to gasoline-powered cars? Would switching to them improve America's security?

What does Mr. Pickens believe the federal government should do to make his plan a reality?

Might Mr. Pickens or the firms he owns benefit financially from such federal aid?'

These are reasonable questions. Your response, "I've never apologized for making a profit, paying taxes and creating jobs," seems off the point at best.

The Pickens Plan, if adopted, would enrich your business enterprises by billions of dollars. We can well believe the Pickens Plan is the best option for you, Mr. Pickens, but is it best for other Americans? That's the question our paper seeks to answer.

______________

* From the Detroit Free Press:

"A conservative think tank issued a report Monday criticizing Pickens' plan as self-serving. The National Center for Public Policy Research in Washington said his plan would require billions in government subsidies, from which Pickens would profit. He is CEO of BP Capital LLC, a hedge fund that invests in wind and natural gas. Clean Energy Fuels Corp., which he cofounded, also owns 170 of the 500 existing natural gas stations, so he would benefit from more natural gas-fueled cars, the research group said.

His response: 'I've never apologized for making a profit, paying taxes and creating jobs.'"

Sarah Palin: Grace and charm under fire

From Rusty Weiss at Newsbusters

Sarah Palin’s excellent handling of an anti-war heckler at a Florida rally

Quote of the Day

"I suspect there are few Americans who can tell you the difference between the candidates’ positions on health care. But you can tell a lot about people by whom they associate with. We know whom John McCain has chosen to associate with over his life time. He joined the United States Navy and served his country with honor and distinction, including more than five years as a POW. In contrast, Barack Obama has associated with the likes of convicted slumlord Tony Rezko, anti-American domestic terrorist William Ayers and radical preacher Jeremiah Wright.

Now I know there are some people who don’t think character matters. Some might say that the 1992 election settled that question. I disagree. We were reminded for eight years, through scandal after scandal, why character does matter. And many of the financial problems we are confronting today have their roots in liberal policies created in the Clinton administration that relaxed reliable standards.

Yes, character counts, as do policies. And I promise you, my friends, you don’t want any of the characters surrounding Barack Obama influencing the policies that will govern our lives in the years ahead!"

D.C. bans God in favor of an atheist history

Victoria Cobb has more bad news concerning the removal of America's religious heritage from the public square.

God Erased from D.C. Visitor Center

"George Orwell once said, “He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.” Consider the implications of Orwell’s statement in light of revisionist history. Those of today who write of yesterday’s history determine what tomorrow’s student will be told is fact. Therefore, it is crucially important that our recounting of history be accurate and complete.

As we fight to preserve our religious liberties here in Virginia as some elected officials try to quiet even the public mention of the name “Jesus,” the battle over our Judeo-Christian heritage continues to rage, with the latest coming from our nation’s capital.

A new version of “history” will arrive at the soon-to be-unveiled Washington, D.C. Capitol Visitor Center – a project spearheaded by the U.S. Congress and paid for by you, the taxpayer. With construction beginning in June 2000, the 580,000 square foot facility will open four years behind schedule this December. The Visitor Center is expected to host 15,000 visitors every day with many of these visitors being from school field trips. The entire project will cost $621 million, which is $550 million over the initial construction estimate. With only 10 percent of the Visitor Center’s funding coming from private donations and with our nation’s present economic situation, it’s hard not to wonder whether the money was spent responsibly. But the Capitol Visitor Center is a problem for more than just financial reasons.

The designers of the Capitol Visitor Center seem to have made an intentional effort to wipe God out of every aspect of American history. In the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 display, the words “religion, morality, and knowledge” are actually removed from the document! A picture of the Speaker in the House Chamber crops out the marble-engraved words “In God We Trust.” The national motto “In God We Trust”, in fact appears nowhere in the Visitor Center.

Besides leaving out God and any mention of Judeo-Christian roots, there are also many historical errors in the information presented including errors concerning the Bill of Rights, the War of 1812, and the list goes on. The designers however were careful to include “important” pieces of history such as casino floors, various factories, as well as pictures from Earth Day and an AIDS rally. It shouldn’t surprise you then to know that The National Day of Prayer and the March for Life (both of which are attended by thousands annually) are captured nowhere in the halls of the Capitol Visitor Center.

Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA) was one of 108 Congressmen who sent a letter to the Architect of the Capitol’s Office saying, “Our concern is not just with the Capitol Visitor Center, but with [an] increasing pattern of attempts to remove references to our religious heritage from our nation’s capitol. The Capitol Visitor Center is just one example of efforts to censor God, faith, and religion from our historical buildings, documents, and ceremonies.”

We are thankful for these Congressmen who are standing strong for Christian principles in the midst of others who seem intent to rewrite history and spend exorbitant amounts of tax dollars doing it! Our Christian heritage is too valuable to let this poor depiction of American history called the Capitol Visitor Center stand as an imposter of the truth."

Obama: Exposed as a Slum Lord and Marxist

The National Black Republican Association is running ads to let people know who the "real" Barry Obama is.

Slum Lord Obama Radio Ad Released by Black Republican Group

Radio ads exposing the real Sen. Barack Obama as a Slum Lord and a far left-wing radical have been released by the National Black Republican Association (NBRA) and are being aired in battleground states. One ad is about the shocking Boston Globe investigation that includes a video of poor blacks living in the Obama-funded slum lord projects who condemn Obama for not caring about them. That investigation can be found on the Internet at: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/06/27/grim_proving_ground_for_obamas_housing_policy/?page=1

The NBRA radio ads clearly demonstrate that, when the American people look behind Obama's slick, public façade, they see an inexperienced liberal who does not have the character and judgment to be our next president. To understand what Obama has in mind for the rest of America, visit any black urban community in this nation. Liberal Democrats have been running black communities for the past 40 years, and their socialist policies have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands. If Obama's messianic message of "hope and change" was so powerful, why are the poor people in Chicago still poor?

The audio of the radio ads can be found on the Internet at: www.NBRA.info, and the text are shown below.

1. Obama The Slum Lord

Narrator:

Obama claims he cares about poor blacks, but a Boston Globe report exposed how for eight years Obama supported slum projects in Chicago.

Poor blacks living in rat and roach infested apartments condemned Obama for not caring about them.

Cynthia Ashley, a fourteen-year resident said: "No one should have to live like this, and no one did anything about it."

Anthony Frizzell a twenty-year resident said: "In the winter I can feel the cold air coming through the walls and the sockets."

Sharee Jones who has lived for years with the rats said: "You could hear them under the floor and in the walls, and they didn't do nothing about it."

Paul Johnson who helped organize a protest against Obama said: "Of course he knew. He just didn't care."

Showing he just didn't care, Obama wrote letters on Illinois Senate letterhead supporting government loans for slum projects.

Obama coauthored the Illinois law that gave tax breaks to his slum lord friends, including now convicted felon Tony Rezko who helped Obama buy a million-dollar house.

As a US Senator, Obama worked to increase federal subsidies for his slum lord pals who donated more than $175,000 to Obama's campaigns with Rezko raising another $200,000.

While running for president, Obama is promising to create a fund that gives his slum lord buddies $500 million a year. This is outrageous.

2. Obama The Radical

Narrator:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. advocated racial tolerance.

In his "I Have a Dream" speech, he said: "The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people."

People today wonder does Barack Obama share Dr. King's positive view of racial tolerance or Rev. Jeremiah Wright's negativity and racial intolerance?

In his book "Dreams from my Father", Obama confesses that he harbors the same negative racial stereotypes as Rev. Wright, his mentor for 20 years.

On page 198 to 204, Obama says that black nationalism, a steady attack on the white race would be justified if it could deliver.

On page 100, Obama says he went out of his way to choose Marxist professors as his friends.

Obama wrote and I quote: "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully, the more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, the Marxist professors and punk rock performance poets."

On page 154, Obama confesses that he studied the Koran at a Muslim school.

Obama wrote and I quote: "In Indonesia, I spent two years at a Muslim school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies. My mother wasn't overly concerned. Be respectful she'd say."

On page 93, Obama confesses that he drank heavily, tried drugs enthusiastically and was helped by pot, booze and cocaine.

Obama does not share our values. Obama is no MLK.

3. Obama is No MLK

Narrator:

In his "I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said:

"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Dr. King's words are important for this 2008 election.

Look beyond Barack Obama's skin color and soaring rhetoric, and you will see an arrogant, elitist millionaire whose voting record is the most liberal in Congress.

Look at the people around Obama, and you will understand that Obama lacks the judgment to be our next president.

Obama's mentor for 20-years was Rev. Jeremiah Wright who said innocent Americans deserved to die on September 11th.

Obama's 20-year friend and bagman was Tony Rezko who was recently convicted of fraud.

Another Obama close friend is Weather Underground Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and other public buildings.

Character matters. Obama does not have the character or judgment to be our next president.

4. Arrogant Obama

Narrator:

Dr. King said judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Barack Obama sounds good, but character is judged by action when no one is looking.

Obama voted no on the minimum wage bill.

Obama said no to school choice scholarships for poor black children trapped in failing schools.

Obama voted yes for a bill to kill babies born alive in a botched abortion.

Bitter is what Obama called blacks and whites who love God.

Racist is what Obama called his white grandmother who raised him and made sacrifices so Obama could get a good education and become a millionaire.

Obama's friends are terrorist Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright who said innocent Americans deserved to die on September 11th.

Obama is an arrogant elitist who turned his back on poor blacks and his own country.

Thank You Delta Airlines!

American Decency Association President Bill Johnson, passed on some good news for family fliers.

See the article below and then write and express thanks and appreciation to Delta Airlines.

Delta Air Lines plans to block inappropriate Web sites from its in-flight Wi-Fi service to be launched this year.

Delta previously said it planned to rely on flight attendants to handle inappropriate situations, such as pornography surfing. But after feedback from customers and attendants, the airline changed its policy and is working with Wi-Fi provider Aircell to use a system to block inappropriate content.

“Blocking will be limited in scope and will be for sites that few, if any, would question are inappropriate to be viewed on an aircraft,” Delta spokesman Kent Landers said Thursday. “Our focus is to achieve a balanced approach.”

While other systems have been criticized for blocking relatively non-racy sites such as Vanity Fair magazine, Landers said Delta’s system would work differently.

Delta’s move comes after American’s attendants expressed concerns about passengers’ ability to “potentially go to inappropriate sites,” said David Roscow of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. American said it is examining options.
