Along with Obama's partial-birth abortion video, YouTube is banning videos posted by UCLA Law Student James O’Keefe. For seven months, videos produced by O'Keefe, broadcasting legal audios of phone calls made to several Planned Parenthood clinics across the country, with their assurance that his money would be used for the abortions of black babies, were online, according to columnist Hannah Giles.
"But on the night of Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention, these embarrassing video clips were taken down from YouTube," write Giles.
In addition, Google has sold Barack Obama the rights to key search phrases that normally would bring up negative information, such as "Obama" along with the words "flag pin," "muslim" or "birth certificate," according to

So for Google and their subsidiary, YouTube, censorship for Obama cuts both ways. They will censor on his behalf and they will allow him to censor indiscriminately. That's quite a campaign contribution... or a conspiracy.
YouTube Censorship: Another Chinese Import?
As more organizations try to shine light on Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) abortion record in Illinois, his campaign has possibly found an ally in YouTube. The video clearinghouse, which has become one of the Internet's biggest sensations, blocked a pro-life post from the Kansas Coalition for Life that detailed Obama's unconditional support of abortion--including partial-birth abortion. As an explanation, the Coalition received only a simple message from YouTube stating that the video violated its "community guideline[s]." Although other posts contained similar footage of abortion procedures, they were not removed-presumably because they made no mention of Obama.
Google, YouTube's parent company, is no stranger to censoring pro-life message. As we mentioned last week, a Christian group just took the online superpower to court for refusing to let a British organization buy ad space to promote life. Unfortunately, this is hardly the first time YouTube has engaged in political censorship. Lila Rose, the UCLA student who taped Planned Parenthood's willingness to earmark donations for black babies, has also been blocked from posting videos that would incriminate the nation's largest abortion merchant.
Hoping to defray his opposition to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, Obama's campaign released a new ad saying his votes on the issue "were taken out of context" and people suggesting otherwise were guilty of "despicable lie[s]." Yet even the Associated Press corroborates pro-lifers' claims, writing, "As an Illinois state senator, Obama opposed three legislative efforts in 2001, 2002, and 2003 to give legal protections to any aborted fetus that showed signs of life."
"I spoke to the Harrisonburg Rotary Club today and raised a very important issue that came up in my debate on September 18 with Mark Warner before the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce: The fact that Mark Warner supports the so-called Employee Free Choice Act being considered by Congress!
You can view Mark Warner’s comments on this issue at the Fairfax Chamber debate – and my comments as well – and also Mark Warner’s remarks at a July 4th union rally in Northern Virginia at the following link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjvoT9elFbo
The AFL-CIO has said that electing Mark Warner is their “major goal for the 2008 elections” and one of the reasons is Mark Warner’s support for this pro-union bill – also known as the Union Check Card legislation – which would undercut Virginia’s historic Right to Work Law and dramatically increase union activity in our state.
In addition to threatening Virginia’s Right to Work Law, I am convinced the Union Check Card poses a strong threat to Virginia’s small business and industries. The vast majority of union petitions filed and elections held in Virginia involve companies employing fewer than 100 people. Small businesses simply do not have the resources to contest organizing efforts and will be under the gun in their efforts to oppose this kind of union power grab.
Under Union Card Check, workers would no longer have the right to a secret ballot election so union organizers would be free to target workers with harassment and intimidation. All militant union organizers would need to do is gather signed so-called “union authorization cards” from a simple majority of workers. And union organizers would know which workers have signed cards and which ones haven’t, so independent-minded workers who dare to question the “benefits” of this increased union power would pay a severe price.
In addition to indicating his support for increased union power at the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, Mark Warner was recently caught on videotape telling union officials that he would support the Union Check Card legislation sponsored by Ted Kennedy. Senator Kennedy openly acknowledges this legislation is designed to make it easier for union officials to establish themselves as the “exclusive” bargaining agents of employees, including union members and non-members alike, in currently nonunion workplaces in every state in the union, including Virginia.
Economic development specialists have noted time and again that Right to Work states like Virginia, where a relatively small share of employees are subject to “exclusive” union bargaining, enjoy a huge competitive advantage over non-Right to Work states where a higher share of workers are unionized. Low-union-density states like Virginia enjoy far faster growth in jobs, incomes, and opportunity for their working families.
As a former governor, Mark Warner knows that fact. But to obtain the support of the big labor unions, Mark Warner has now promised to work with Ted Kennedy and Barack Obama to undermine Virginia’s competitive advantage. And of course, the entire national economy would be seriously damaged by enactment of the Union Check Card bill.
Working with John McCain I can help stop this union power grab and this effort to undercut Virginia’s historic Right to Work Law."

On September 17, 1787, a majority of the thirty-nine delegates to the Constitutional Convention approved the document which they had labored over since May. Before the Constitution would become law, it had to withstand public scrutiny. Ratification of the new Constitution was not a foregone conclusion.
"There is less than a week left before the 110th Congress adjourns and its Members return to their respective states and districts. While it may be nice to have our Senators and Representatives listen to "We the People," -- their constituents -- there are some Washington politicians working to pass big spending bills in the final hours of the legislative session.Fortunately, there are a handful of Senators who are looking out for us, the American taxpayer, by standing firm against more wasteful government spending.Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Jim DeMint (R-SC) are watching every potential spending bill and pulling them off the Senate floor so they cannot pass at the 11th hour with little or no debate. Specifically, they are insisting on a full debate to ensure the big spenders in Washington are held accountable to American taxpayers.
Indeed, such fiscal responsibility in Washington, DC is a breath of fresh air!However, we need to do our part. We need to remind Senators Coburn and DeMint that the big spenders in Washington will do anything to spend more of the people's money. We need to remind them that there are some bills, like public land use bills, that may not look like they require taxpayer funding, but definitely do.TAKE ACTION TODAY! Send Senators Coburn and DeMint an e-mail thanking them for standing firm against government waste, and reminding them that some bills, which may not look like it at first blush, also cost taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars!"
At the heart of the controversy is Obama’s claim to citizenship and laws at the time (that have not been changed retroactively) which preclude him from being a legitimate U.S. Citizen. His birth certificate, which he has declined to provide for authentication, appears to have been forged to hide his lack of citizenship.
This makes him ineligible to be President of the United States, and makes you wonder how on earth he even got in the U.S. Senate. Part of the problem is that the FBI has never been allowed to do a background check on Obama, even though he is seeking the highest office in the land.
Yes, Obama’s communist mentors and friends have been investigated. And apparently, Obama’s known close associations with communists and terrorists, not to mention his Pakistan drug connection in NYC, would prevent him from receiving a security clearance were he to apply for a job with our government. But has Obama, a.k.a. Barry Soereto been investigated? Nope, Nada, zip.
Now finally, a disgruntled Hillary supporter is attempting to do what the Main Stream Media (MSM) refused to consider, and Obama may be forced to document his citizenship, thanks to this lawsuit. If Obama is found to have lied about his citizenship, and there are compelling reasons to believe he has, it will be the hoax of the century, aided and abetted by Democrats who only care about power, and the MSM who only care about keeping Democrats in power.

According to Investor's Business Daily:
"Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of 'social change.'"
Investor's Business Daily is referring to an organization known as Public Allies.
Has Investor's Business Daily gone of the proverbial deep end?
Perhaps not. Just in case you've never heard of Public Allies, know that there are about 250 separate and unique references on Google comparing it to the Hitler Youth Corp.
No, that's not a sick joke or exaggeration! In many cases, these comparisons are not made lightly, foolishly or flippantly.Public Allies is an extremely radical leftist organization that seeks to bulldoze free America and replace it with a totalitarian socialist state.
But wait... there's more!
Investor's Business Daily goes on in the aforementioned editorial -- aptly named "Michelle's [Obama] Boot Camps For Radicals" -- and states:
"But its real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about 'social change' through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation -- the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul 'The Red' Alinsky."
But wait until you hear -- as radio personality Paul Harvey would say -- "The Rest of the Story."
Barack Hussein Obama plans to use Public Allies, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps.
He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."
And why not?
After all Obama was a founding board member of Public Allies and his wife, Michelle, was executive director of the Chicago cell.
Guess who funds this growing revolutionary army? Fidel Castro? Osama bin Laden?
No, YOU do! By paying your taxes. That's the real outrage! Your tax dollars fund 50% of Public Allies' budget through Bill Clinton's AmeriCorps program.
And Barack Hussein Obama wants you to pick up an even greater portion of the tab. In fact, accrding to Investor's Business Daily, "Obama wants to fully fund it and expand it into a national program that some see costing $500 billion."
The only questions that remains is; was Obama talking about his expanded vision of Public Allies when he stated; "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded as the military"?
Was he talking about Public Allies when he stated in his acceptance speech; "If you commit to serving your community we will make sure you can afford a college education"?
Is that why Public Allies is often called "Obama's Brownshirts."
This organization is a snake coiled in the heart of America, waiting to strike. Congress MUST de-fund it immediately!
So what specific activities does Public Allies promote?
The entire lock-step, knew-jerk agenda of the crazy Left.
Some of the activities are rather innocent sounding, such as staffing AIDS clinics or handing out condoms.
Other activities are more dubious, such as bailing criminals out of jail and helping illegal aliens obtain food stamps and welfare.
Chief among Public Allies targets are the wicked people who advocate the natural family -- or as they call it in Obama-Land -- "heterosexism."
Public Allies called "heterosexism" an ugly byproduct of: "capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male dominated privilege."
What will happen to our suburbs and small towns, where the folks who live and work and pay taxes -- as Obama's already told us -- "get bitter... cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them" when Obama institutes his National Service Corps modeled on Public Allies?
Undoubtedly America's small towns will change and turn into ugly little klatches of left-wing conformity.
When hunters go to town to buy ammunition, will they find angry teenagers and 30-year-old airheads blocking their way, waving placards, cursing the Second Amendment?
And they'll do it on your dime... at a cost that some say could reach a whopping $500 billion!
THAT'S MORE THAN THE 2008 DEFENSE BUDGET -- AND WITH A WAR GOING ON!
And speaking of the military budget, here's what WorldNetDaily reports about Obama's hopes for Public Allies:
"Obama asserted in a Colorado Springs speech that the U.S. needs a 'civilian national security force' that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force."
"In the July 2 speech in Colorado Springs, Obama insisted the U.S. 'cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set.'
"He continued, 'We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.'"
Can it be true?
Is Barack Hussein Obama advocating an American KGB -- a large, powerful and coercive federal police force!
Don't say it couldn't happen here. It's already happening -- all over this besieged country.
Glenn Beck says of Public Allies:
"It has already deployed an army of 2,200 community organizers like Obama to agitate for "Justice and equality" in his hometown of Chicago and other U.S. cities including Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Washington."
Only 2,200 out of 300 million Americans. Why worry?
Here's why.
By then it was too late to worry.
By the way, did you read the in-depth expose of Public Allies in The New York Times?
Neither did I.
And the rest of the Mainstream Media wouldn't touch it either.
Richie Rich, writing on BIZBLOGGER, explained:
"Why does no one really understand what Obama's 'community organizing' was all about? Because the media knows where it will lead: to Saul Alinsky, a radical socialist whose views revolved around creating conflict and agitation, particularly among inner city blacks. Not exactly the post racial ideas Obama pretends he represents. Alinksy's theme in his book, Rules for Radicals, also helps explain a lot of Barack's, Michelle's and Jeremiah Wright's frequent anti-American comments..."
"They [Americans] must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution.
"To be a successful organizer, one must first convince the masses that America is a "downright mean country" that doesn't care about them."
Sound familiar?
Conservative author Jerome Corsi, elaborates on Rich's point in reference to Obama and his old buddy Bill Ayers -- the man who stated to The New York Times on the eve of the 9-11 attacks "I don't regret setting bombs.... I feel we didn't do enough."
"Remember, Obama has followed Saul Alinsky's ultimate advice. Saul Alinsky said radicals like Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman could not organize a picnic. Alinsky told his radicals to cut their hair, buy business suits and run for public office."
"Ayers and Obama are both aimed at producing radical socialist change from within -- working today to radicalize our institutions....
"Instead of bombing them. Alinsky considered this approach to be much smarter because it was more likely to produce lasting 'change' and less likely to produce a backlash. In other words, the Alinsky-trained radical could apply more easily the Machiavellian technique of lying by denying they were pursuing radical goals if they appeared to be members in good standing of the establishment they were trying merely to 'change.'"
Has Obama read Alinsky? You better believe it! And he's following his blueprint, crossing every "T" and dotting every "I".
Public Allies is a dangerous organization holding a dagger at the heart of America!
Let's not pay their way.

PBS vote on Sarah Palin
"PBS has a short video on Sarah Palin on their website. Also included is a poll question:
Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP?
Currently, the numbers are 51% YES - 46% NO.
Vote YES for Sarah..... You don't have to give your name or email address in order to vote. It's very simple."
PBS is basically a liberal mouthpiece and does not believe in anything conservative/Republican
Here's the link:

The Democrats are constantly saying that John McCain and the Republicans have no ideas. But what are their ideas? Higher taxes, which we are now told by their vice presidential nominee is a patriotic duty. More spending. Putting the government in charge of more and more. That’s right -- the same government that can’t run veterans’ hospitals, the same government that has brought you the IRS and the Department of Motor Vehicles, the same government that has imposed an oil embargo against our economy for the past quarter century!
Leftwing Democrats have no clue about how the free market works. Remember the latest big increase in the minimum wage that went into effect recently? Guess what happened – we got a big jump in unemployment and those most negatively impacted were teenagers and minorities.
And what exactly set off this current round of financial chaos? Major speculation in the housing market – which can be traced back to economic policies mandated by Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, policies that George Bush and John McCain tried to correct in 2003 and 2005"
