Obama: Me and Hamas Understand One Another

Oh goody.

While maintaining an ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, Barack Obama says he understood why a top Hamas adviser voiced support for his presidential bid.

“It’s conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, ‘This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,’” Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic.

Obama speak: Retaliation against Islamofascist enemy= “cowboy diplomacy”.

……Last month, Ahmed Yousef, a political adviser to the militant Palestinian group, told an interviewer on WABC radio that “We like Mr. Obama” and “we hope that he will win the election.”

Yousef’s comments sparked intense criticism from John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, who recently vowed to be “Hamas’ worst nightmare.”

“If Sen. Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly,” McCain said.

Not that McCain has room to talk, especially with his close association to the radical open borders pimp Juan Hernandez, but at least he doesn’t count terrorists among his friends.

In a report by Al Jazeera, the radical mouthpeice for Islam, the Palestinians in Gaza have set up phone banks to campaign for Obama.

One of the little jihadists, Abu Jayyab, says:

“After studying Obama’s electoral campaign manifesto, I thought this a man that’s capable of change inside America.”

Yeah, a more sympathetic change toward Islamofascism.

They also call random numbers in the U.S. before each primary to ‘deliver their message’.

Call me, motherfuckers. I have a message for you.

North Carolina College Refuses Illegals

Filed under: Border Security, Homeland Security, Illegal aliens — sfcmac @ 3:14 pm

Why in the hell are they permitted enrollment in the first place????

The N.C. Community College System will no longer allow illegal immigrants to enroll in curriculum degree programs.

Community college officials made the announcement on Tuesday in response to recent advice from N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office.

“We asked the Attorney General’s Office for clarification of our present policy and will abide by their advice,” N.C. Community College System President R. Scott Ralls said in a statement. “We will continue to be a primary source of economic advancement for the state by providing world-class education and work force training to every student eligible to enroll.”

Tuesday’s announcement reverses the policy updated in November, which stated all 58 community colleges could admit illegal aliens who pay out-of-state tuition, are 18 years or older and high school graduates. At the time, the Attorney General’s office supported the N.C. Community College System’s “open door” policy.

“We have researched and Nash Community College does not have any illegal immigrants enrolled in curriculum degree programs,” President Dr. Bill Carver said in a statement. “Therefore, at this time, we are not impacted by the policy change.”

Edgecombe Community College serves illegal immigrants that are enrolled in Edgecombe County Public Schools, but it does not have any enrolled in general curriculum degree courses, Lamm said.

Now if only the public schools would follow suit.

Illegal Alien who Infiltrated CIA and Collaborated With Terrorists, Let go

Remember this?

November 18, 2007 — FBI fraudster Nada Nadim Prouty not only used a sham marriage to get jobs with access to secret terrorist intelligence - her current husband is a State Department employee who has held sensitive posts in Middle Eastern embassies, The Post has learned.

……She also confessed to sneaking into government databases for secret information on her sister and brother-in-law, both linked to the Middle East terror group Hezbollah.

Well, a judge appointed by Jimmy Carter (figures) gave the little colaborator a slap on the wrist:

A federal judge lavished praise Tuesday on an illegal alien who infiltrated the FBI and the CIA before her fraudulent marriage was discovered.

U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn revoked the citizenship of Nada Nadim Prouty and fined her $750. He criticized the government for the way it publicized Prouty’s case and the media for the way they reported it.

“You have rendered extraordinary services to the United States as an agent of the FBI and an employee of the CIA,” Cohn told Prouty. “At no time did you compromise any investigation from improper behavior or inappropriate conduct.”

So, passing classified infomation to Hezbollah is not ‘inappropriate conduct’??

Prouty’s only real crime, Cohn said, was a sham marriage when she was 19 years old. It’s understandable she did not want to return to war-torn Lebanon at the time, he said.

The sham marriage was a precursor for entrance into the military and subsequently, access to classified information. That’s high treason.

Prouty, born in Lebanon, gained U.S. citizenship through a sham marriage, joined the FBI’s Washington field office as a special agent in 1999, and joined the CIA in 2003, according to court records.

Prouty admitted that while an FBI agent, she went into a computer system without authorization in 2003 and obtained information about the Detroit FBI’s investigation of Hezbollah, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization. She also did name searches of FBI files for (her fugitive brother-in-law) Talal Chahine, herself, and her sister, Elfat El Aouar, Chahine’s wife.

This is a real sidesplitter:

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Chadwell told Cohn the government did not object to the judge not sending Prouty to prison.
However, “this case should be taken very seriously,” Chadwell told the judge.

You don’t object to the lack of prison time, yet you think it should be taken seriously?
What are you going to do? Just bend her dog tags and send her packing?

I don’t get it. This bitch conned her way into a trusted position that’s supposed to protect the nation’s secrets, and used it to betray the country.

Looks like the government took it about as ’seriously’ as the braindead judge.

Cohn signed an order to deport Prouty but simultaneously signed a second order withholding the deportation. She will be able to stay in the U.S. but not work or travel outside the country without special permission.

Just great. She can stay here but she won’t be able to leave without permission.
What a punishment. What a fucking joke.

Mother’s Day Tribute

Filed under: Uncategorized — sfcmac @ 5:41 pm

I lost my Mom 10 days after my return home on emergency leave from Iraq in 2003.

This is what I delivered as her Eulogy:

I am going to paraphrase a quote by author and businessman Frank Fuller: (Often attributed to Mark Twain)

“When I was a girl of 16, my mother was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have her around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much she had learned in just five years.”

That pretty much describes my tumultuous teenage years with my Mom. I could never understand why she was so tough on us sometimes. When I matured a bit and went through only a fraction of what she did, I understood.

There are so many things I can say. To mention that she had a rough life is an understatement. As a single parent, she raised 7 kids, juggled finances, a home, and endured hardships that would have broken someone half her age. She was a fighter; strong willed and stubborn. She never took no for an answer. When doctors told her for six years that it was medically impossible for her to have children….well, I’m living proof of her answer to that one.

When there was no way of doing something, she’d find one anyway.
When she was told that she would never qualify to own a home, she got one. When she found out (our mentally retarded sister) Christy’s graduating class wouldn’t have caps and gowns for their ceremony, Mom discussed the matter with the school committee in her incomparable way. All of them got caps and gowns. When she dealt with lawyers, doctors, or mechanics, they found out pretty quick that Mom was not a pushover.

Mama was a “do it yourselfer”. She showed us, by example, how to be self sufficient. She would read up on how to upholster furniture, do carpentry, and design things. Then she’d buy the material and do it herself.

She was a loving, supportive parent who knew that there were times when she had to get tough with us for our own good. When she used our middle names we knew we were in trouble. When one of us did something and no one fessed up, she’d threaten to spank all of us to get the “right one”. She loved her kids and would often say that we were her life.

She had a keen mind for business and could have easily been the head of a corporation. Mama never graduated from High School. It was a decision she would always regret, and it motivated her to get a GED in 1973 at the age of 42. In 1982, at the age of 51, she graduated Cum Laude from Lorain Business College with a double degree in Accounting. She would tell us repeatedly that even if she had to drag us all the way to school everyday ALL of her kids would graduate. We did.

Mom was so proud of my service in the Army, but she hated the fact that I was often deployed to far away and dangerous places. Going to war was easy. Telling Mom was the hard part. I would always reassure her and tell her not to worry, but she worried about all her kids. When I came home from Desert Storm, she had a huge banner on the front of the house that read: “Welcome home SGT Cheryl McElroy from Operation Desert Storm.” It was quite a neighborhood attraction until we took it down.

My deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom was not unexpected, but still hard for her to take. As stricken as she was with diabetes, cancer, and heart and lung problems, she still worried about me up until the time I walked into her room at the intensive care unit and told her I was home. In retrospect, I think that’s what she waited for.

She was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and lifelong loyal friend to a privileged few.

We got our resilience from her. When life threw Mom lemons, she didn’t bother to make lemonade. She was the kind of gal that would pick them up, throw them back, and say: “You’ve got to be kidding.”

Mom used to tell me about a re-occurring dream she had as a kid. She was on an endless road and would struggle to get to the end of it by walking, running, skipping, and even going back and forth in a rocking chair. In her dream, she could never reach the end. I don’t know how she did it, but she finally got there.

If I have turned out to be half the person Mama was, it’s because she instilled character, perseverence, courage in the face of adversity, and a strong love of family. I can still hear her voice and feel the strength of her presence. I have always believed as Mama did, that if you love and care about someone, you tell them while their still around to hear it. I can’t help but believe that she is still here.

I love you mama.

Happy Mother’s Day

Obama’s Revisionist History

In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Obama said something that is all the more remarkable for how little it has been remarked upon.

In defending his stated intent to meet with America’s enemies without preconditions, Sen. Obama said: “I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did.”

That he made this statement, and that it passed without comment by the journalists covering his speech indicates either breathtaking ignorance of history on the part of both, or deceit.

I assume the Roosevelt to whom Sen. Obama referred is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Our enemies in World War II were Nazi Germany, headed by Adolf Hitler; fascist Italy, headed by Benito Mussolini, and militarist Japan, headed by Hideki Tojo. FDR talked directly with none of them before the outbreak of hostilities, and his policy once war began was unconditional surrender.

FDR died before victory was achieved, and was succeeded by Harry Truman. Truman did not modify the policy of unconditional surrender. He ended that war not with negotiation, but with the atomic bomb.

Harry Truman also was president when North Korea invaded South Korea in June, 1950. President Truman’s response was not to call up North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung for a chat. It was to send troops.

Perhaps Sen. Obama is thinking of the meeting FDR and Churchill had with Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in Tehran in December, 1943, and the meetings Truman and Roosevelt had with Stalin at Yalta and Potsdam in February and July, 1945. But Stalin was then a U.S. ally, though one of whom we should have been more wary than FDR and Truman were. Few historians think the agreements reached at Yalta and Potsdam, which in effect consigned Eastern Europe to slavery, are diplomatic models we ought to follow. Even fewer Eastern Europeans think so.

When Stalin’s designs became unmistakably clear, President Truman’s response wasn’t to seek a summit meeting. He sent military aid to Greece, ordered the Berlin airlift and the Marshall Plan, and sent troops to South Korea.

Oh yeah, Obama plans to have a regular kaffee klatch with Hezbollah, Hamas, what’s left of Al Qaeda and Taliban, FARC, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Hugo Chavez. He’d probably rent the Lincoln Bedroom to Bin Ladin.

Somewhere, Neville Chamberlain is smiling.

BTW: He’s ‘been to 57 states’ in the U.S.

I wonder where he acquired the extra seven.

The Democrats and the leftwing media fall all over themselves portaying this asshat as a Christ-like sex symbol. The Hildabeast has been tossed overboard by his legion of groupies in the DNC, so it looks as if he’ll get their nomination.

Barak Hussein Obama is a radical socialist who has terrorists for friends, and some admirers who are the worst fecal matter on the planet.

They’ve gone from Gore to Obama. From bad to worse. That’s what the Democrats have to offer as a Presidential candidate.

Congratulations Dems, you’ve reaped what you’ve sown. 

We’ll make sure you don’t inflict it on the rest of us.
