Laura Ingraham: Obama's Ministry Of Truth

One of several topics discussed in Laura's latest E-Blast:

[OBAMA'S MINISTRY OF TRUTH: Should Obama win in November, thanks and credit will be in order to his 1984-inspired alteration of the historical record. In only the last few months, we've seen the following: When it was revealed in the "Fight the Smears" section of his website that he was lying about his involvement with ACORN (minimizing an actually long-established partnership), his site quietly scrubbed the falsehoods; when a blogger noticed that Michael Klonsky, an unashamed communist education "reformer" happened to be blogging on Obama's site, any hint of his existence was expunged; after Rev. Wright became a household name for his desire to send America to Hell, Obama's site suddenly stopped boasting of his involvement in the campaign; when a video of young California kids appeared singing Obama's glories in a style reminiscent of North Korea, that too was wiped from the e-book of history.

With such a cavalier approach to information control, what exactly we know about Obama -- really and truly -- is harder to discern every day.]

I couldn't agree more. You can subscribe to Laura' E-Blast by going to her website HERE.

The Truth Of Obama-Ayers Begins To Surface

NRO has been doing some really intense research on the Obama-Ayers relationship which the Main Stream Media certainly overlooked in its vetting of Obama during the Primary. In previous posts I've drawn your attention to Stanley Kurtz's NRO column, but the latest from Andrew McCarthy blows the Obama lies about his relationship with William Ayers out of the water. Here is an excerpt:

[Obama and Ayers shared all kinds of views. That is why they worked so well together at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), funding the likes of Mike Klonsky, a fellow SDS and Maoist associate of Ayers who, as Steve Diamond relates, used to host a “social justice” blog on Obama’s campaign website. With Obama heading the board of directors that approved expenditures and Ayers, the mastermind running its operational arm, hundreds of thousands of CAC dollars poured into the “Small Schools Workshop” — a project begun by Ayers and run by Klonsky to spur the revolution from the ground up.

Precisely because they shared the same views, Obama and Ayers also worked comfortably together on the board of the Woods Fund. There, they doled out thousands of dollars to Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity Church to promote its Marxist “black liberation theology.” Moreover, they underwrote the Arab American Action Network (AAAN) founded by Rashid Khalidi, a top apologist for Yasser Arafat. As National Review’s David Pryce-Jones notes, Khalidi once directed WAFA, the terrorist PLO’s news agency. Then, like Ayers, he repackaged himself as an academic who rails at American policy. The AAAN, which supports driver’s licenses and public welfare benefits for illegal aliens, holds that the establishment of Israel was an illegitimate “catastrophe.”]

McCarty goes on to explain how easily (and likely) Obama and Ayers met while living in the same neighborhood in Morningside Heights (NYC), as well as who likely introduced them, how they both made the move to Chicago at about the same time, and worked with many of the same people fighting for the same causes, etc... (more of an advocacy than an association). It's a rather long article, but if the subject matter indeed matters to you, I suggest you take the time and read it. It is the most definitive article to date on the issue, IMHO. Read the entire column HERE. It should be very clear to all (except who the MSM succeeds in fooling) that Obama outright lied in the final debate with McCain about the Ayers issue.

For a time I've pondered as to why Obama has refused to release his Columbia transcripts. First I thought it might be to hide poor grades (like John Kerry, whose GPA was even lower than Bush's). But then I realized it could be to hide the types of classes he took. For instance, someone who took several classes in Communism, Socialism, Marxism, political revolutions, or even Islamic fundamentalism, might be mistaken for a Communist, Marxist, Muslim extremist, etc... In other words it would verify for the whole country what the rest of us have suspected about Obama's true views.

Obama on Infants Born Alive: Let 'em Die

Jill Stanek is a controversial figure. Her detractors (and they are legion) say she's a loon, that Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, fired her as a labor and delivery nurse on grounds of incompetence.

And then there's her side, the one everybody else believes: that Stanek was fired by Christ Hospital because after she discovered they were leaving unwanted newborn babies to starve to death in a dark closet with the dirty linens, she went public with it. Stanek went on to testify before the Illinois Senate, where then-State Senator Obama killed the state version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.

This video is simply one of the most stirring productions I've ever seen. Watch it and decide for yourself who's the loon, and who's doing God's work. Don't worry; it's not graphic. Pardon the odd appearing leader and trailer.



More on Jill Stanek: Her home on the Web, syndicated column, and YouTube channel.

Jill's termination by, if you'll excuse my momentary dyslexia, Antichrist Hospital, is a win for the Pro-Life movement and the babies of the world in her greater capacity as a public figure.

The Howard Stern Experiment

I am NOT a Howard Stern fan...BUT this bit they did on 10-13 is well worth passing along. Here he interviews some Obama supporters and substitutes McCain's policies in place of Obama's and asks each subject what they think of both the candidates and the policy. Conservatives will find the results predictable, as Stern proves that Obama supporters really do NOT know their candidate. I wonder how many members of the Main Stream Media would fair as poorly.

ACORN Rotten From Treetop to Roots

From today's New York Post:

[Pushed to meet daily quotas and bullied by bosses if they didn't, Ohio ACORN workers faked voter registrations, signed up people more than once, and even paid off registrants to keep from being fired, its canvassers told The Post.

"Every day, there was pressure on us. Every single day," said Teshika Elder, a Cleveland single mom of three who worked for ACORN this summer.

"We had meetings every morning where they'd go over your quota; they'd yell at you if you were low," said Elder, 21. "They'd sit us down and say if you didn't do better, they'd suspend you. They'd say, 'Try harder next time,' [and] if you didn't get it, you'd be fired."]

Read the rest of the article and learn all about the pitifully corrupt ACORN HERE.

What do normal people who have proper values do when pressured by their bosses to commit illegal acts?

1) Call the police

2) Call the home office and report misbehavior.

3) Quit and get another damn job. It's only office work and probably doesn't pay much anyway. You CAN work somewhere else, you know. Swallow your pride and drive a truck for a living. It pays more and you can sleep at night. I did.

The people running ACORN are corrupt. The people hired by the people running ACORN are corruptible. That's one of the reasons they were hired. They are either people with a liberal mindset who believe in advancing liberal causes by any means necessary, or they simply have no spine and live in constant fear of being replaced. I know I shouldn't judge too harshly. Sometimes these things sneak up on people...gradually. But when a person realizes what they have become, it's time to reform...unless they have no fortitude. Welcome to ACORN.

Barack Hussein Obama has close ties to ACORN. Google Obama and ACORN and see. I'll save you the trouble. See Kurtz's NRO column HERE.

John McCain: Fight

Okay, good content. Need a tad more energy. Those who are undecided this late in the race aren't looking for facts. No, people like that never let a year's worth of facts and issues get in the way of their voting decisions. Kind of makes one wonder why they bother to vote at all. What they are looking for is type of manner, presentation, and emotion. Not necessarily the candidate's emotion, but their own emotions as elicited by the candidate. And these are the people who usually decide close elections. Did I say "God help us all?"

Obama Backs Driver's Licenses For Illegals

There are so many reasons not to vote for this guy, sometimes it's hard to keep track of them all. But this ad shows yet another reason why Obama is dangerously naive and irresponsible. Go HERE for the fact sheet on this issue. Obama has been pretty consistent on this position...for a change.

Glad to meet you, St. Blogustine readers!

Hello, dear readers. This is Kevin Gleeson, looking forward to bringing you some fresh material in the coming days. A special thanks to Matt for inviting me here to guest blog while he completes his mission to infiltrate ACORN in the FBI voter fraud sting operation. (Wait, that wasn't a secret mission, was it, Matt? Oh. Sorry about that, Chief.)

I'm visiting you from my own serious blog and humor site. Their readership and posting frequency are small compared to St. Blogustine. In Star Trek terms, I almost feel like a shuttlecraft pilot promoted to take the helm of a starship (Intrepid class, not Galaxy; that would be Michelle Malkin.) I'm Catholic, conservative in every way, and a humorist. In case you were wondering how one becomes a humorist, you start out by calling yourself one, then you proceed to create funny stuff. If you can get the right people to laugh, eventually they'll find a way to slip you a few bucks for doing it. (So far, they haven't found me yet).

The FedEx man arrived today, and as I unpacked Matt's shipment of the St. B. Golden Keyboard and the Prestigious Attila the Hun Chair to post this entry, I was thinking there's got to, simply got to, be an easier way to take turns blogging here, even as I dread having to recrate the things for FedEx tonight so that Matt can have them back for his next blog post.

We'll work it out. See you back here!

McCain Defends "Joe The Plumber"

Great speech by McCain!

I Voted Today...Legally!

There are a few things I want to talk about before turning the bulk of the postings over to my longtime friend and partner in crime, Kevin Gleeson, who will be a guest blogger for the next few months or as long as he wishes. Things are quite busy at work and require my utmost attention.

First, I voted absentee today and it felt terrific! Even though things don't look promising for McCain-Palin these days poll-wise, It felt great to know that I canceled out another vote by Mickey Mouse and friends come November 4th. And I found out that you can vote early and absentee without any picture ID if you simply tell the guy behind the counter that you have voted there in the past. I didn't actually try this, but the guy admitted to it. Imagine that. Something to keep in mind for '12 when I register 73 times. Or perhaps all of my high school classmates from Sterling, IL will find themselves registered and voting (some even posthumously) in Lancaster Co. PA. Life is strange, and voting in America is no exception. I merely jest here. But you know they would fix everything and make it fair if they wanted to. Right?

Secondly, as I was traveling through Galesburg, IL, I noticed yet another style of Obama-Biden campaign sign that shows Obama's name very prominently (to be expected), but shows poor Joe Biden's name almost invisible (huh??). In fact, if I didn't know better I'd say it almost looks...rather racist. Not that Obama hates white people, we'll leave that to Michelle...and Jeremiah Wright...and Farrakhan...etc. But could it be that Obama is a little insecure about people thinking the white guy will be in charge and therefore downplaying Biden's name on the ticket? Could be a bit of a stretch, ...but for the Obama camp to suggest that Sarah Palin wearing a white outfit suggests a white supremacist attitude, it makes one wonder who is race obsessed and who isn't.

Or perhaps the Obama camp realized its mistake of appointing Joe Biden to the ticket and now wants to really really downplay it. Kind of like George H. W. Bush downplaying Dan Quayle's role. See any similarities here?
