Did Obama Write Anti-Semitic Poetry?

American Thinker, by Jack Cashill Original Article

Posted By: magnante- 10/31/2012 7:35:42 AM Post Reply

As a 19-year-old sophomore, Barack Obama had two poems -- "Underground" and "Pop" -- published under his name in the spring 1981 edition of Occidental College's literary magazine, Feast. If Obama wrote any other poems after that, they have not emerged. (Snip) O'Hagan, however, chose to notice. He points out that both of the poem's most conspicuous symbols, apes and figs, are mentioned in the Qur'an. Middle Eastern scholar Bernard Lewis has argued that although Muslims were relatively tolerant of Jews, there are at least three passages in the Qur'an in which Jews are denounced as

It's Not Over

Does anyone believe that when Barack Obama loses on November 6, he will go quietly? This election is shaping up to be a landslide loss for the president, and by the ever-present look of desperation on his face, he knows it. The nation should be preparing for how he might react when it happens -- there is nothing more dangerous than a cornered god. (Snip) He may never have been more than a part-time president, but to expect him to give up the job easily or gracefully is to fall prey to wishful thinking. His monstrous ego will not allow any other course of action but to fight.

Egyptian authorities reportedly

Egyptian authorities confiscated some 1.7 million documents reportedly proving Jewish ownership of land and assets in Cairo. The documents were reportedly about to be shipped out of the country to Israel, in what the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram is calling “the most dangerous case of security breach in history.” (Snip) Preliminary investigations have revealed that the documents were supposed to be used in an Israeli lawsuit involving Jewish property lost in Egypt’s 1952 revolution, the site reported. According to Elaph, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi is personally following the case, which it

Republicans Have Won Every
November 6th Presidential
Election Since 1860

Breitbart's Big Government, by John Sexton Original Article

Here's one more historical curiosity to observe this election cycle. Since election day was standardized in 1845 there have been 6 presidential elections held on November 6th and Republicans have won all six. That means next Tuesday, the 7th Presidential election held on this date, will either break or uphold a streak that began in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln. Starting in 1792, states had a range of dates on which to conduct presidential elections, but in 1845 Congress standardized the date so it would always be the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Since then presidential elections have

Q&A: Could Sandy postpone the election?

Associated Press, by Josh Lederman Original Article

Washington - One week before a close election, superstorm Sandy has confounded the presidential race, halted early voting in many areas and led some to ponder whether the election might even be postponed. (Snip) Q. Could the Nov. 6 election be changed? A. Yes, but it's highly unlikely, and it's not up to the president. Congress sets the date for the presidential election - the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, every fourth year. Congress could act within the next week to change the date, but that would be tough because lawmakers are on recess and back home in their districts campaigning for re-election. Plus, it's likely that would mean changing the date for the entire country,

As many as 25,000 people in Hoboken are stranded and without power as neither rescuers or residents through flooded city streets.

riddance to wind farms –
one of the most dangerous

The significance of yesterday’s shock announce-ment by our Energy Minister John Hayes that the Government plans to put a firm limit on the building of any more onshore windfarms is hard to exaggerate. On the face of it, this promises to be the beginning of an end to one of the greatest and most dangerous political delusions of our time. For years now, the plan to cover hundreds of square miles of the British countryside with ever more wind turbines has been the centrepiece of Britain’s energy policy--and one supported by all three major political parties.

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Stormy weather wasn't enough to prevent George Cullen from canvassing for Mitt Romney this week. Monday, while Ohio was hit by cold wind and rain, the Clermont County resident knocked on 25 doors -- but that's about half his average daily total, and Cullen has been knocking on doors in the suburbs of Cincinnati for the past five weeks. While the conservatives he speaks to during his door-to-door visits are "energized," says Cullen, "A lot of them don't want to do early voting. They're traditionalists. They want to wait until Nov. 6." Republicans are encouraging early-voting,

Team Obama 2012 was no doubt attempting to shore up its constituency of single, young women when it released its ad late last week featuring actress, writer, and director Lena Dunham likening voting for Obama in 2008 to losing her virginity to a great boyfriend. Yet when one considers the speed with which this ad has been mocked and parodied, one could make the case that the Obama campaign unwittingly summed up the legacy of his presidency, which in a week's time may well be consigned to the ash heap of history. Four years ago, much of America felt a tingle

Obama Doubles Down On Myth
Banks Tricked Homebuyers

Investors Business Daily, by Paul Sperry Original Article

President Obama and his party say they're committed to bailing out homebuyers "tricked" into taking out subprime mortgages. But the story of subprime victimization is as fictional as it is prevalent. And no one has exploited it more than the Obama administration. When the vice president recently warned a gathering of black voters in Virginia that a Romney presidency would let Wall Street "chain" them again to "abusive" subprime loans, he racially amped up the false narrative. "They're gonna put y'all back in chains," Joe Biden said with trademark hyperbole.

£700m nuclear deal

Families could see their energy bills cut after a Japanese firm signed a £700million deal that will allow it to start building Britain’s next generation of nuclear power plants. Engineering giant Hitachi is buying Horizon Nuclear Power, which has the rights to build nuclear reactors at Wylfa on Anglesey, North Wales, and Oldbury in Gloucestershire from German firms E.ON and RWE npower. In what it described as the start of a 100-year commitment to the UK, Hitachi said it intends to progress Horizon’s plans to build between two and three nuclear plants at each site. The facilities,

New York is not used to this. Hurricanes are meant for areas like Florida and the Caribbean, and America’s largest city was still reeling last night from being hit by 85mph winds and a wall of flood water in the rare, gigantic “super storm” that hit the Big Apple. With almost half a million residents evacuated and a third of Manhattan having spent Monday night in darkness after an explosion at a power station, the city was in shock yesterday. The last time New York was left stunned like this was after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and climate hysterics can never resist an opportunity to use a natural disaster to flog their anti-technology, anti-humanity hobbyhorse (OK, so I’m no Oscar Hammerstein). With the supposedly biggest storm in historical times about to hit one of the most populated regions of the nation, comes, now, the completely predictable (indeed it would be a shock if it didn’t happen) press release from the laughably named “Institute for Public Accuracy”: McKibben, the founder of 350.org, said today: “Meteorologists have called this ‘the biggest storm ever to hit the U.S. mainland,’ which is a reminder

Two recent ads illustrate the great cultural divide in this nation and which parties and presidential candidates represent these competing world views. In the handling of the economy and national security, President Obama has shown he’s not capable of being the adult in the room. After four years of perpetual campaigning and cheerleading for his pet projects, he still isn’t prepared to deal soberly with the consequences of his ideological indulgences. His community organizing fantasy has been to remake America in his more socialistic image, and in the process, he’s taken the nation dangerously close to financial ruin.

When Season Three of Downton Abbey begins airing on PBS, next month, it will do so at the absolute peak of its fevered popularity. In its brief life, the series has become a veritable institution for its American fans. And assuming that there will not be a Romney victory in November, and that federal funding for public television (and for Big Bird!) will remain in place, one can assume that Downton Abbey’s fan base will only increase. It’s safe to say that the Crawleys and their downstairs staff are far better known than the man who created them all—

The CEO of a Raleigh startup that was written about in The News & Observer on Monday was visited by a city inspector on Tuesday who told him he was breaking city rules by operating the business out of his North Raleigh home. Justin Miller, whose company Deja Mi has released two smartphone apps since forming more than a year ago, said the zoning inspector informed him that he had 30 days to find another office or he would be cited for illegally operating a business with employees in a residential neighborhood.

As a guiding principle, I recommend liberty in deciding how to vote. There are three key reasons to vote for liberty. Reason # 1: A vote for liberty is the moral choice.

Say what you will about Greenpeace, the organization has always had a flair for publicity. From its early days of dodging harpoons and Japanese whalers in outboard motor boats, it has used media savvy and an aptitude for political theater to become a $360 million-plus per year behemoth with offices in more than 40 countries. But what few members of the public know is that Greenpeace isn't just about saving whales and other appealing sea creatures. Its PR machine is now spearheading an effort to deny millions of children in the poorest nations the essential nutrients

This race is over, but the conspiracy theories are about to begin. And, boy howdy, are things going to get ugly. To wit, Mitt Romney will defeat Barack Obama for the presidency on November 6, after which there will be hysterical blowback. The election result is quantifiable, with Romney consistently leading in national tracking polls, finding a level at or above 50 percent in many, and closing the necessary gaps in swing states and among demographic groups. Greater evidence can be found, however, in Obama’s sour demeanor and the conduct of his campaign. What a mess.

There’s been a never-ending stream of polls in this presidential race, but a new survey from Gallup could mark a key moment in the campaign. Mitt Romney, Gallup reported Monday, is leading Barack Obama among Americans who have already voted. Fifteen percent of those surveyed have voted, Gallup said, and among them, Romney leads the president by 52 percent to 46 percent. The news was particularly bad for the president because at this time in 2008, Obama led John McCain by an even bigger margin. And it was made even worse because early-voting totals are lagging

Good for U.S. Sen. Scott Brown. Why should he do the Globe a favor and show up at their fakakta debate? So he can listen yet again to Granny Warren yapping about the middle class getting “hammered,” and how Brown voted against a bill to produce “jobs” (which in this context means taxes)? How much more nonsense does he have to hear about Roe v. Wade? Trick or treat indeed. The headline on the Globe’s website last night was, “Organizers cancel final Mass. U.S. Senate debate.”

Katy Perry concerts and MTV appearances won’t help President Obama with young voters this time around. On Friday, Obama appeared on MTV for “ASK OBAMA LIVE: An MTV Interview with the President” for one last push to win over the hearts of the generation that secured his victory in 2008. The president had no fresh material, but it was clear he knows his campaign is hemorrhaging support from the more than 20 million 18- to 29-year-olds who’ll vote this year — votes he can’t afford to lose. Obama beat John McCain by 34 points in this group,

It virtually shut down New York City, the nation's largest city, with major airports, highways, and bridges and tunnels in and out of Manhattan shut down, just as they were after 9/11. For millions of people in New York City and elsewhere, the lights remain out, communications remain down and floodwaters, downed trees and power lines still make roads impassable.

When GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced on August 11 that he had selected Paul Ryan as his running mate, the consensus was that he had made a daring choice with a huge risk: being demagogued on Medicare cuts. Ryan’s reputation rested on his bold proposals as the House Budget Committee chairman to offer seniors “premium support” payments to purchase their own Medicare coverage. Even though the program is facing an astronomical $38 trillion in unfunded liabilities and is the single-largest driver of America’s mounting debt, Medicare reform has historically been a big electoral loser for Republicans.

Presidents generally don’t like to admit mistakes, so it was interesting when Barack Obama owned up to one during an interview with Charlie Rose on CBS last summer. It was the job of the president, Obama said, to “tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism,” and it was on this score that he had fallen short. Conservatives gleefully mocked the president, saying that the country needed jobs more than it needed stories, and the remark did seem to hint at some genuine denial.
