Yeah, I'm focusing on Obama. Why? Because stations like (MS)NBC and CNN won't give you the whole story. Today's topic is the "Obama-Mania" in Europe and the Middle East.
Middle East: Okay, so Obama lands in Iraq, Israel, and Afghanistan. In Iraq, he confronts general Petreaus for the FIRST TIME, and basically tells the general what is going to happen, not reallt bothering to listen to his "generals on the ground". Apprently for the Obama campaign, the only important generals are the ones that agree with him or have a liberally biased view. Oh, and did I mention how the Iraqi Prime minister practically endorsed Obama? Yeah, he said he didn't, but his plan and Obamas plan are near mirrors. Next, we have Israel. Here, Obama went back on what he said about Jerusalem, then went back on that, and went back a third time. This of course us just one of the many gaffs that Obama had made in his "trip", and one of many positions that the Senator of Illinois has decided to change his mind on for no reason whatsoever. I will go ahead and defend him when it comes to the Western Wall, as I think the media, supporters, and protesters should ahve had a more reverant nature there. I also have to hit the Israeli newspaper that had the audacity to retrive Obama's written message that he placed in the wall. Then there is Afghanistan, where he more or less talked with the President, played a game of basketball, and talk with troops. Odd, since Al Queda is in PAKISTAN and not AFGHANISTAN. If he really wanted to go after Osama, wouldn't he go and try talking to the Pakistinians?
Europe: This is where it starts to get a bit looney. In Germany, Barack decided that he was able to speak at the Brandenburg gate, where JFK and Reagon had once given extraordinary speeches that changed the world. Luckily for us, Chancellor Angela Merkel stopped this from happening. However, he decided to move it to the Victory Monument, which was a Nazi symbol. Really? REALLY?! At this point, his PR team is either extremely good for keeping the media from saying this, or are absolute idiots for allowing Obama to make such a stupid mistake. Rule number 1 for an election: DON'T ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH NAZIS! Oh don't worry, it gets better. After Obama gives his speech, he decided to go workout in a gym. Now, I know what you're thinking, but stay with me here. Obama went to workout ay a gym. The reason why this is important, is because Obama was suopposed to go and meet with wounded and dying troops in Germany. So what happened? Well, Obama said he didn't go because the Pentagon wouldn't let him. Thats a total lie. The Pentagon said Obama could come as long as he didn't bring his mob of reporters and camera men. But no, Obama decided not to go visit our sick, dying, and wounded troops simply because he couldn't bring his massive media following. It makes you questions how patriotic this guy is! Anyways, Obama went to France and Britain as well, where nothing really important happened other than meeting the leaders like usual, and holding an interview where he said he wouldn't change his mind at all. There is one thing that was important in that interview though, and it was that Obama tried to make wiggle room. He said, in detail, how he would get troops out of Iraq. In the interview in London, before he flew back to Illinois, he said that he was right on the broad strategic areas. This is an obvious change in position. Sadly, no one seems to notice it.
So what ahve we seen in the fabled Obama World Tour 2008? Gafff after gaff, and plently of flip-flops. Let's hope that people see through this as what it is: a glorified PR move, not a fact finding mission.

Its official, the media has endorced Obama...
…okay, not officially, but close enough! Yes, our good friends over at ABC, NBC, and CBS have sent their top anchors to the Obama campaign. Yes, Charles Gibson, Brian Williams, and Katie Couric have all gone to Iraq with Obama, and basically the Obama campagin itself. Now, lets face it, these 3 have had a history of bias, but with such an outward show, I’m surprised no one has thrown them into the political gutter that out far-left friends currently inhabit. Not much better can be said about the news programs themselves, as all 3 have fallen just short of endorsing Obama, instead deciding to follow the “Miracle Man” around like some lost puppy.
But my biggest complaint, and the proof of the bias, can be seen by looking back to the beginning of the Iraq war. Since the beginning of the war, John McCain has made eight, count it, EIGHT trips to the Middle East, with nothing more than a mention for the 8th. In fact, McCain was even criticized for his trip!
Of course when Obama goes, for his SECOND time (though I think its more of a first time, since his original trip in 2006 had him in Iraq for 2 days) he gets the title of going on a “Tour of Duty” (Not even joking about that one!) Apparently he feels its better to play a game of basketball instead of focusing on what’s going on over in Afghanistan and Iraq. Don’t get me wrong, Obama is in fact meeting some of the leaders and important military strategists, but really, his basketball abilities aren’t the ones that he is going to need when it comes to November.
Furthermore, he is over there as more of a PR move instead of actually figuring out what’s going on. Does he think he’s the president already? Not only that, but he is over there after he made his decision on how he is going to make the United States lose the War on Terror and the Iraq War, which apparently makes sense in the Obama-land that most of the media and Obama supporters seem to be living in. And they dare to say theres no liberal bias...

Constitutionality of Gay Marriage
Gay marriage tends to be a very touchy subject, with some very extreme responses. On our left, we have out favorite liberal loons, who want you to be able to marry anything and everything as long as it has a pulse, and even that is subjective! On our right, we have the Religious Right, a.k.a. the citizens of Jesusland, who apparently think that the Bible is more important than the fact we have a separation of church and state.
Well guess what you two: you're both wrong. The fact is that if we make a law allowing Gay Marriage, it will get shot down by the Supreme Court since it is unconstitutional. Let me explain.
Under the 1st Amendment, we have the "freedom of religion". Most people take this as a one-way street, saying that they can choose any religion, or even not have a religion. This is true. However, there is another side to this. Notice it says freedom of religion. This means that religions are free from the government. Therefore, the government can not create a religion, and can not influence religions (the exception of course being that of human or animal abuse, otherwise anything is really allowed)? If we were to pass a law saying that homosexuals can get married, this would basically be government regulation of religions. This is unconstitutional, the government can not regulate religions, and any such law would be basically the same as spitting on the constitution. So the question becomes: what do the gays do?
The answer to this is the civil union. I know, I know, everyone is yelling "separate but equal!!" but that is not what this is. Anyone who wants a civil union can have one. Now I know civil unions don't give the same rights as marriages do. Well, we make it so that a civil union and a marriage are exactly the same. The only difference is that one is done by a judge, and one is done by a member of a clergy of some sort. You would have to go through the exact same channels, no matter what you are getting. Now I am not saying that a religion can't marry gay people if they do want to. If they find a church that is willing to marry them, then they will be seen as married in the eyes of the State, as long as they went through the proper channels to do so.
Both sides have been fighting tooth and nail for this, and its about time out leaders step up and do something about it. The above is really just a basic overview of a compromise I'm sure that both sides would be fine with, if they both would at least be willing to talk. Let's hope our leaders are smart enough to actually get this done.

World Can't Wait (for these loons to be gone!)
The "World Can't Wait" group is an organization who is dedicated to ousting the Bush "regime". This group is known for holding rallies with their good friends at Code Pink, who I'll get to at a later time.
Now here's a little secret for you all. Charles Kissinger (who was exiled) and his goons in the Revolutionary Communist Party started this whole organization. Don't take if from me though, take it from the website itself.
So there you have it, your own Revolutionary Protest!. Now besides calling the president Hitler, destroying the American flag and calling for the heads of all out leaders, these guys and gals are just another hippie protest group. They, like those idiots from the 60s and 70s, want to completely work against any type of war. Now, we can all agree that war is an unfortunate occurance, but it is a neccisary evil in the world we have today. It doesn't stop there though. These are the people that will go out and attack you for speaking your mind, and claim they are trying to protect your freedom of speech. And of course the old "Police Brutality" charge that always comes up when the law comes in and gets them to stop beating people.
We need to see this group as what it is: a threat. It is a cleaverly disguised organization that is here to promote a communist cause, and destroy America as we know it. Whether you like of dislike the President, you should never want to harm the country that gave you everything. Sad these people are allowed all the press they want.

Q: But aren't there communists in World Can't Wait?
A: Yeah, there are. Supporters of the Revolutionary Communist Party helped initiate it.
