in a February 2008 interview with the New York Times, Mr. Obama said
the Adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, is "one of the prettiest sounds
on Earth at sunset." He then recited it, "with a first-class [Arabic]
accent." The opening of the Adhan contains the Shahada, the Muslim
profession of faith, proclaiming, "There is no god but God and Muhammad
is the prophet of God." Stating this before two Muslims is the
traditional requirement for joining the Islamic faith.

My
feeling is that Obama knows no god but the state, which in his case is
him. But, the only religious training he ever received was
at Moslim schools, and he shares the Moslim antipathy for Western
culture, the United States and Israel, and he is a liar, a cheat, and
our nation's greatest terrorist threat; but you doesn't have to
call him Moslim.

R&D firm Global Rainmakers Inc. (GRI) announced today that it is
rolling out its iris scanning technology to create what it calls "the
most secure city in the world."
When these residents catch a train or bus, or take out money from an
ATM, they will scan their irises, rather than swiping a metro or bank
card. Police officers will monitor these scans and track the movements
of watch-listed individuals.
Iris Scanners Create the Most Secure City in the World. Welcome, Big Brother

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a
gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of
gas at 15% isn't.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
8. I voted Democrat because Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
7. I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun,
and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from
murderers and thieves.
6. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if
it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt
away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
5. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of
millions of babies through abortion so long as we keep all death row
inmates alive.
4. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a
right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.
3. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be
allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and
give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the
democrats see fit.
2. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite
the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would
never get their agendas past the voters.
1. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass

November, as a new round of bombings in Baghdad raised doubts about
Iraqi security measures, the New York Times reported that hundreds of
Iraqi checkpoints were relying on a “small hand-held wand, with a
telescopic antenna on a swivel” to check for explosives. A retired
lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force was quoted as saying the
device was “nothing more than an explosives divining rod” which works
“on the same principle as a Ouija board.” The head of the Iraqi
Interior Ministry’s Directorate for Combating Explosives insisted that
whether it was “magic or scientific,” the device was preferable to
relying on bomb-sniffing dogs at all the 400 checkpoints in Baghdad:
With all those dogs, “the city would be a zoo.”
But meanwhile, Europeans have shown their own penchant for magical
gadgets. The International Criminal Court is a prime example. It has
been operating for eight years without securing a single conviction.
The United States was not an official participant in the Kampala
conference, because it has never ratified the treaty establishing the
ICC. But the State Department had, on several occasions in the past few
years, affirmed its desire to “cooperate” with the ICC. So Harold Koh,
legal adviser to the State Department, and Stephen Rapp, the U.S.
ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues, attended as observers. With the support of the Europeans, the Kampala conference went ahead and added “aggression” to the court’s jurisdiction anyway.
Nonetheless, American
officials expressed satisfaction with the result. Koh explained at a
State Department news briefing on June 15 that “the outcome protected
our vital interests.”
