Video of Joe Biden - "the pit bull", confirming, as Barack Obama stands next to him, that he does not believe Obama has the experience it takes to be president of the United States of America:

I like to think honoring the heroes who won WW2 shows respect for a level of sacrifice few of us in the free democracies of the West today would be capable of.
And of course it also show gratitude for the freedom of speech you enjoy in the UK, I enjoy in the States, and we enjoy on this forum.

The foreign commentary just gets funnier and more desperate:
Gee, would that be the same Joe Biden who is on record on record saying
"John McCain is a good friend, a great friend and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain."

Why just say it when you can prove it - and silence the shrieking in your head?
Or maybe you can't...

Imagine that, one of the poorest and most backward nations on earth allowing a successful, worldly businessman with ties to the booming petroleum business to help them into the 21st century.
And who do you think you are kidding? We all know who sabiwabi thinks pulled off 9-11.

Saudi- and Yemen-born jihadis (just 2 examples) don't qualify as foreign troops?
Under the Taliban the nation of Afghanistan was ruled by a 6-man council in Kabul.
Not one Afghani among them.

As with his university academic records, his true birth cert (the one his handlers posted on daily Kos is fake)and the client list where he worked as a lawyer, Obama refuses to release the record of his baptism at Trinity Church...
Check the links I posted, sushisake. The photo from Indonesia looks pretty authentic. It's not hard to see the word 'Islam' in the box.
Personally, I'd love to see Obama tell Islamofascists like Quaddaffi (or his own Kenyan cousin for that matter), both of whom have insisted publicly that the Democrat nominee is Muslim, how he, the 'World Citizen',somehow came to choose Christianity over the Islam faith he saw and experienced in Indonesia, Kenya, and elsewhere.

Kinda humorous to watch Euros speculate on and shake their lil fists at the role of faith in US presidential elections.
I've always felt much of the supposedly excessive religiosity in America sprang from the overwhelming gratitude most of us feel.

Or maybe they understand Islam a little better than you do. Obama can convert to Christianity, but technically he can never leave Islam without certain fatal consequences, established and agreed upon over a thousand years ago by all four major schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
Or, maybe they have seen the application young Barry Soetoro's stepfather submitted to the Catholic school Barack Hussein Obama attended in Indonesia, and noticed the word 'Islam' in the box asking about religious affiliation. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2062622/posts
Maybe it was Obama's support for his Kenyan cousin Raila Odinga, who has pledged to bring Sharia law to Kenya. http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/433766/the-kenyan-jihad.thtml.
Maybe it was his other cousin's frequent contention that Barack is a Muslim.
Maybe they are a bit wary of the fact that Obama's church of twenty years, rabidly anti-American, was led by a former Muslim.
Significantly, the suspicion that Obama was/is a Muslim is not limited to one party:
There is no difference in the percentage of Democrats or Republicans who think Obama is a Muslim. And of the Democrats who think Obama is Muslim, 19 percent said they preferred McCain over Obama. "Democrats who share the misconception are significantly less likely to support Obama," Pew said about the poll. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorialopinion/oped/articles/2008/08/12/toughtasksawaitobamaonmarchtoconvention/
Whether it is a 'misconception' depends to me on how closely the media really wants to look at Islamic law.
I'm not defending voters' beliefs here, just explaining some of the basis for their suspicions.

Odd comparison, for a someone who believes America is too pro-Israel.

Consider the variety we have in the US. From the very start you had a mix of European nationalities, and now it is vastly more diverse. I think one explanation is that people in this nation of immigrants look for what you could call the largest common denominator in how their neighbors' and coworkers' and politicians' values are formed. Religion is one of the quickest ways to determine that. Add to that the fact, indisputable, of the role that Chrisitanity played in the West's development of democracy and capitalism and science. For all of its shortcomings the Judeo-Christian worldview was and is far, far more tolerant of secular 'challenges' to its supremacy than any I can think of.
Personally, I'd like to know if it is true that even in modern day England only a baptized Anglican can become prime minister? Is this true?

Good points, wolfpack.
I don't see how anyone can look at the overall tone and thrust of the New Left's 'message' and miss the basically religious element (however perverted) and the religious pose its exponents strike.
It's no coincidence that Obama finds himself caricatured as 'The Chosen One', 'Obamessiah' etc. Nor is it a coincidence that there are dozens of photos and mag covers of Obama's head surrounded by a halo of some sort.

There's Pravda, and there's the BBC:
"Ukraine has said it is ready to make its missile early warning systems available to European nations following Russia's conflict with Georgia.
[...]
'Unprecedented situation'
In a statement, Ukraine's foreign ministry said that because the country was no longer party to the 1992 agreement with Russia on the use of its radar stations, it could now "launch active co-operation with European nations".
"Only a collective security system will provide the highest international guarantees... that could prevent any actions like those which occurred in... South Ossetia" - - -President Viktor Yushchenko [the other foe Czar Vlad Putin had poisoned]
[...]
"BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says the decision is evidence Ukraine is now more desperate to embrace the West as its fear of Russia intensifies and Moscow seemingly becomes more determined to prevent any neighbouring states from joining Nato."

I really don't care.Having grown up in the States it hardly strikes me as news.
How does any stat affirming that America is far, far more racially integrated and tolerant than Europe, Canada or wherever it is you hail from constitute this imaginary 'hate speech' that Lefties and the America-obsessed always seem to see filling the airwaves, cyberspace and the deadwood media?
