Historical thoughts on Barak Obama's position

By Southern Fried Brain
Published/Last Modified on Friday, September 26, 2008 11:21 AM CDT

BHO does NOT believe in the 2nd Amendment!  He has voted AGAINST firearms AND ownership every time it has come up before him.

BHO, as a Socialist, wants to RAISE nearly everyones taxes!  This, so he can "redistribute" it to the poor and needy.

BHO has a "plan" for America; it relies on "Hope and Change".

BHO, along with the Democratic Party, have aligned themselves with George Soros.  He is the world's most "Gun Hating", Democracy reviling, "One World Order" proponent!  He, Soros, is an avowed Socialist, and is behind the "plan" to instal the U.N. as the "World Police Force"!  That means in the U.S.A. to, folks.  By the way, the plan is that the U.S.A. will be the FIRST country so "occupied"!  Also, did you know, he Soros, has spent over $100 MMMilion$ dollars since the year 2000, to try and instal one of his "puppets" in ANY office in the U.S.A. When it comes to taxes, Soros does NOT pay any in th U.S.  He as a "foreigner", is not required to pay!

Let's look at some historical perspective on what Obama is talking about.

"Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of "HOPE".  We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren {Obama?} till (s)he transforms us into beasts... Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?...I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and provide for it.  I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. 

I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past

...In vain...Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and by hugging the delusive phantom of HOPE {Obama?}, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?...What is it that gentlemen wish?  What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchassed at the price of chains and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take, but as for me,

give me liberty, or give me death!

"

Patrick Henry, "The War Inevitable" speech to the Virginia Convention, 23rd March, 1775.

"The people of the various provinces are stricktly forbidden to have in their posession any swords, short swords, spears, firearms, or other types of arms. 

The posession of "unnecessary implements" makes idifficult the collection of taxes and dues and tends to foment uprisings.

  Needless to say, the perpetrators of improper acts against official agents shall be summarily punished, but in that event the paddy fields and farms of the violators will remain unattended and there will be no yield of crops.  Therefore, the heads of provinces, official agents, and deputies are ordered to collect all of the weapons mentioned above and turn them over to the Government.

Swords and short swords thus collected will not be wasted.  They shall be used as nails and bolts in the construction of the Great Image of Buddha.  This will benefit the people not only in this life but also in the hereafter.

If the people are in posession of agricultural implements only and devote themselves exclusively to agriculture, they and their descendants will prosper.  Sincere concern for the well being of the people is the motive for the issuance of this order, which is fundamental for the peace and security of the country and the happiness of the people...Thus, all the people should abide by and understand the aims of this act and give their undivided attention to agriculture and sericulture (raising silkworms).  All implements mentioned above shall be collected and submitted forthwith."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japanese Shogun, Tensho 16, Seventh month, 8th day, c. 1588.

So, Obama "speaks so eloquently", like the siren?  But there really is N O substance to his talking points.  We are being "deluded" by his talk, especially what is behind the meaning of his "talks"!  Why does he NOT answer questions about his tax plans?  Or his position on Gun Control?  He beats around the "Bush"(no pun intended), with exageratted responses.  He wishes to take away our arms for the "benefit" of society.  Having in "our" posession "unnecessary implements" makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues and tends to foment uprisings?  What does he intend to do TO us, anyway?  He is NOTHING more than a wolf in sheeps clothing!  Oh, did you notice what happens to those who have the "unnecessary implements"?  They and their family are put to death!  Remember,in a society of farmers, if you do not raise your own food, you starve!  One last note:

"It is always dangerous to the liberties of the people to have an army {U.N.Police?} stationed among them, over which they have NO CONTROL"!

Samuel Adams, letter to Elbridge Gerry, 29October, 1775

Obviously its the Obama supporters who are racist, and probably only voting for him because he's not completely white. Race shouldnt be an issue in determing who you vote for. You should vote for a person depending on what they stand for and their background information. Its just stupid that just because people dont back Obama that they are called racist.

    Boy, is Southern Fried Brain in for a surprise when Obama doesn't raise his taxes, and perhaps ever lowers them (unless Southern Fried Brain makes more that $250,000 per year).

    The rest of his "commentary" is written in such a convoluted manner that I wouldn't know where to start debunking it. "

    There is a very plausible use for "full-auto" firearms! It is just another "tool" for the GOOD-GUYS to use to protect themselves.
    Also, you may NOT know this, but there is, in shooting circles, a 4 gun match! This is for speed AND accuracy. it uses a rifle, pistol, shotgun, AND a "sub-gun"!
    Depending on the "match-Organizer", one may end up shooting at distances from arms-length out to 600 yards! Depending on which firearm course you are shooting. "

    By-the-way, they did NOT have standard "bullet-proof" clothing! They wrapped themselves in "B-P" material, stolen, no-less. One bad-guy shot himself, the PD-on-scene, realized no "B-P" on feet! Ordered-"shoot-the-feet"! This anchored the bad-guy in place, and he bled out!

Oh Bummer! sorry to bring up the negative about him! "

    " cont...is to demonize, and marginalize anyone opposing our governments plans and ambitions.(historically speaking does this sound familiar to anyone?)Those who oppose are characterized as being unpatriotic,obstructionist, uncompassionate,or even ungodly.The Bush underlings have very skillfully done just that. Anyone who dares to oppose or even question Bush must be regarded as enemies of America or even as enemies of God.The last step of totalitarianism is the using the power and force of government to physically silence or remove those who are determined to require such treatment,when this happens no one will be able to help you.

    " Under Bush's administration we have witnessed the slow disassembling of constitutional protections of liberties known in modern memory. A totalitarian process that we have learned from history starting with No.1propaganda(implemented by lazy non investigating media)Second,the foundation by passing legislation that can be used against its citizenry.That of course being the Patriot Act, and homeland security, which oddly enough was the brain child of our 42 President William J.Clinton.The Republican congress denied him to implement these in his administration.However the same Republican congress were very eager to pass these bills into law under G.W. Bush's administration.The third step... "

    " Please duly note SFB, when I refer to Senator McCain I use his actual name.I believe that those who misuse his name are also in the wrong.Doing so(the misuse)does not add to your or their points.What it actually does is turn a deaf ear to your statements. What issues are you concerned about? Right now my main issue is our failing national economy especially when the stock market is having detrimental effect on my husband & my retirement.I was on the fence until McCain stated rather publicly that the fundamentals of our economy are sound...Whats up with that anyway?

    " To Kimbro,
    I use that name to describe him, because that is all he says! I noticed you have NOT said the same thing to people who use the name McSame! Why? Do you REALLY believe "the Obamassiah" should be our next president?
    People NEED to read about the PERSON, NOT the "origin" of NAMES!! Besides, I thought the General was named after his father, the "tent maker", HA, ha!
    We will lose MOST of our "freedoms" if Oblahblah is elected. Doesn't that bother anyone out there???

    " For starters SFB, perhaps you can call ALL the candidates by their actual names.Your satire,as you like to call it is getting very old when it comes to their names.(use his full name if you like because the name Hussein does not bother me.)For all of those who freak out because of whats in a name should read this very interesting article about names.

    " To; To SFB,
    So, because I am against "your" Obamassiah, I am BOTH a racist, and a "satinist"?
    Just because I have studied BOTH candidates, as well as their running mates {Palin, as much as I could find}, means I don't know what I'm talking about? So I find McCain to be the best! Oblahblah will RAISE my taxes,just so some "SLACKER" can stay out of school, on welfare, and "pop-out" children, even they cannot raise!
    My "NEW" taxes, will be enough to pay someone as IF they worked for ME, FULL TIME! Let-me-have-MY-own-MONEY-for-me-AND-my-CHILDREN!! "

    " To ALL,
    I cannot say anything good about Oblahblah! He has continued to lie and deceive people during his "speeches". He cannot speak as "eloquently" when there is NO tele-prompter! Did you read his book? He has contradicted himself in speeches, from what he has written in his OWN BOOK! If he actually lived his life, how come he cannot remember what he did?
    As for a "race" issue, because you may have NOT read my earlier posting, I will repeat it here. "In MY IMMEDIATE family, I-have,-in-no-particular-order, Black-Hispanic-Asian-White, along with, Christians-Jews-Muslim-Buddhist-Agnostic-and Omnivores-Herbivores-and Vegans! "

    I CAN look past skin color! I DO know life ends with Jesus! I can honestly say race does NOT play a role, simply by stating my beliefs in the Bible!
    "And God created man, and in HIS image, He created him" {paraphrased}.
    So IF I were to say I did not like someone based on skin color, I would also be saying I did NOT like GOD! Because GOD does NOT create ANYTHING but BEAUTY, especially if it is in HIS image!

    " To Frank Rizzo,
    Actually, Oblahblah's tax plan extends down to $45 thousand dollars!
    Either way, I will be "adopting" at least one more family, and I will NOT be able to claim them as "dependents" on my taxes!
    Go figure. After all of the years I took advantage of the "free bus ride to the free school", I will be taxed to an even higher level. Just so those who don't/didn't do it, may benefit!

    When will it stop? "

    " To Betty,
    Over cooked? Why Betty, I'm already "fried"! In this economic time, WE all need to educate ourselves. Only then will we know who to vote for. It should NOT be based on religion, race, etc! BUT on who has the experience. Not just political experience, but world experience!
    Actually LOOK behind the candidates, to find out who their "confidants" are! Find out what their "beliefs" are!
    If you look into Oblahblah's people, there are many of George Soros' minions! This is a FACT!
    Do your own research. Then you will know FOR SURE. "

    " All of Obama's rhetoric just doesn't add up. It has nothing to do with his skin color.
    He claims that he will not raise our taxes if we make under $250,000, yet he is going to "give" us so many things. Who is going to pay for the free health care? Who is going to pay for the economy? Who is going to be able to afford to fill up their car with gas when he raises taxes on the oil companies? I can't afford Obama! "

"Why you hatin, because I'm black" That seems to be the only thing on your mind as to why you like him, because he's black. Go stretch your brain some by investing some time into finding out what will happen to you and your's if this black man wins because I believe that ya'll would be the first ones down the toilet. He doesn't care any more about you than that brother of his that lives in a lean-to, actually less. Grow a brain. "

    First of all, what is my skin color? I CAN look past skin color to see what a person is made of!
    SO this is NOT about RACE!!
    It is using "historical facts" to point out the BAD side of Obama{ssiah). If more people would actually read anything about George Soros, they would understand. I believe this to be part of the education some people need! We cannot have people thinking "all is well with the Obamassiah's{Emporer's} talking points {new clothes}"! "
