MARK LEVIN: OBAMA IS A CHARISMATIC DEMOGOGUE AND A HARDENED LEFTIST IDEOLOGUE
LEVIN WARNS US:
ROUND UP HERE; (I WAS FIRST!).
There is a cult-like atmosphere around Barack Obama, which his campaign has carefully and successfully fabricated, which concerns me. The messiah complex. Fainting audience members at rallies. Special Obama flags and an Obama presidential seal. A graphic with the portrayal of the globe and Obama's name on it, which adorns everything from Obama's plane to his street literature. Young school children singing songs praising Obama. Teenagers wearing camouflage outfits and marching in military order chanting Obama's name and the professions he is going to open to them. An Obama world tour, culminating in a speech in Berlin where Obama proclaims we are all citizens of the world.RTWT.
I dare say, this is ominous stuff.
Obama is a hardened ideologue. He's not interested in playing around the edges. He seeks "fundamental change," i.e., to remake society. And if the Democrats control Congress with super-majorities led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, he will get much of what he demands.
... So in the tank are the media for Obama that for months we've read news stories and opinion pieces insisting that if Obama is not elected president it will be due to white racism. And, of course, while experience is crucial in assessing Sarah Palin's qualifications for vice president, no such standard is applied to Obama's qualifications for president. (No longer is it acceptable to minimize the work of a community organizer.)
Charles Gibson and Katie Couric sought to humiliate Palin. They would never and have never tried such an approach with Obama.
But beyond the elites and the media, my greatest concern is whether this election will show a majority of the voters susceptible to the appeal of a charismatic demagogue.
This may seem a harsh term to some, and no doubt will to Obama supporters, but it is a perfectly appropriate characterization.
Obama's entire campaign is built on class warfare and human envy. The "change" he peddles is not new. We've seen it before.
It is change that diminishes individual liberty for the soft authoritarianism of socialism.
It is a populist appeal that disguises government mandated wealth redistribution as tax cuts for the middle class, falsely blames capitalism for the social policies and government corruption (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) that led to the current turmoil in our financial markets, fuels contempt for commerce and trade by stigmatizing those who run successful small and large businesses, and exploits human imperfection as a justification for a massive expansion of centralized government.
ROUND UP HERE; (I WAS FIRST!).
CORY THE DRILLER
VIA SONDRAK THE PLUMBER:
EXCERPT:
... Mr. Obama, I'm the guy you intend to raise taxes on.READ THE WHOLE THING.
I'm the guy who has spent 25 years toiling and sweating, fretting and fighting, stressing and risking, to build a business and get ahead.
I'm the guy who has been on the very edge of bankruptcy more than a dozen times over the last 25 years, and all the while creating more and more jobs for East Texans who didn't want to take a risk, and would not demand from themselves what I have demanded from myself.
I'm the guy you characterize as "the Americans who can afford it the most" that you believe should be taxed more to provide income redistribution "to spread the wealth" to those who have never toiled, sweated, fretted, fought, stressed, or risked anything.
You want to characterize me as someone who has enjoyed a life of privilege and who needs to pay a higher percentage of my income than those who have bought into your entitlement culture.
I resent you, Mr. Obama, as I resent all who want to use class warfare as a tool to advance their political career.
What's worse, each year more Americans buy into your liberal entitlement culture, and turn to the government for their hope of a better life instead of themselves.
Liberals are succeeding through more than 40 years of collaborative effort between the predominant liberal media, and liberal indoctrination programs in the public school systems across our land.
What is so terribly sad about this is this. America was made great by people who embraced the one-time American culture of self reliance, self motivation, self determination, self discipline, personal betterment, hard work, risk taking.
A culture built around the concept that success was in reach of every able bodied American who would strive for it. Each year that less Americans embrace that culture, we all descend together. ...
... In short, Mr. Obama, your political philosophies represent everything that is wrong with our country. You represent the culture of government dependence instead of self reliance; Entitlement mentality instead of personal achievement; Penalization of the successful to reward the unmotivated; Political correctness instead of open mindedness and open debate.
If you are successful, you may preside over the final transformation of America from being the greatest and most self-reliant culture on earth, to just another country of whiners and wimps, who sit around looking to the government to solve their problems. Like all of western Europe. All countries on the decline. All countries that, because of liberal socialistic mentalities, have a little less to offer mankind every year.
MCCAIN - NOT OBAMA - CARRIES ON THE JFK/RFK TRADITION
BARTLE BULL - (NOT BARTLE BREESE BULL, BUT HIS FATHER)/NYDAILY NEWS: John McCain, not Obama, is following in the Kennedy family footsteps
CIRCULATE IT TO YOUR DEM FRIENDS WHO SUPPORTED HILLARY OR WHO ARE ON THE FENCE...
AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
Party loyalty, nostalgia and the allure of a glamorous, slender figure promising a better world to a roaring crowd might mislead us into confusing the magic of Barack Obama with the reality of the two Kennedy brothers we have lost. Denver's theatrical staging enhanced this evocation, presenting a groundbreaking youthful candidacy passing the generational torch and completing the American Dream.RTWT.
But if substance guides us rather than style, if character is more important than audacious ambition, then we should recognize that this time the mantle of genuine American leadership rests on a truly bipartisan figure: John McCain.
Like Jack Kennedy, McCain is grounded by heroic service as a naval officer. His patriotism requires no parsing. Like JFK, McCain understands that you cannot conduct foreign policy without understanding history. No person of that background could suggest a unilateral strike on Pakistan, as Obama did last year, apparently forgetting that this United States ally has nuclear weapons. Calling Obama's threat to Pakistan "misguided" at the time, Sen. Joe Biden also said the freshman Illinois lawmaker was unprepared to lead America. Calling McCain "my hero," Biden has stated that he would be delighted to share a ticket with the Arizona senator, whom he has suddenly begun to denounce.
I was in Berlin in 1961 when the Soviets built the Wall. President Kennedy immediately promised total support to West Germany. A tough foreign policy realist, he would respect McCain's prompt robust denunciation of Russian aggression in Georgia, rather than Obama's over-advised spineless prevarication. "The UN must stand up," said Obama, when he himself failed to do so.
Little wonder that, just two days ago, The New York Times reported that Russia's Vladimir Putin is "deeply concerned about the possibility that Mr. McCain ... could become President."
As McCain does today, in 1960 John Kennedy campaigned on cutting taxes and strengthening America's armed forces. Like Reagan, Kennedy was an eager sprinter in the arms race, saying that we must reverse the "missile gap," the alleged missile superiority of the Soviet Union. President Kennedy established that lower taxes mean more jobs and more revenue, facts ridiculed by Obama and embraced by McCain.
As with McCain, reform was at the heart of Robert Kennedy's early service. He fought the Democratic machine and spent enormous energy rebuilding Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn by encouraging black economic development rather than government dependency. Working for him nights and weekends to assist black startup businesses in Bed-Stuy, young volunteers like myself learned that Bobby was not the typical far-left ideologue or partisan operative, as Obama was until recently. Like RFK and unlike Obama, McCain sees private enterprise and personal responsibility, not government, as the essential principles of political economy.

THEY AREN'T SHOCKED INTO SILENCE.
NO ONE SAYS HE'S GONE TO FAR THIS TIME.
THEY APPLAUD AND HOOT APPROVAL. THEY WHISTLE AND CHEER.
THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT STRANGERS BUSSED IN FOR THESE SERMONS. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WORSHIPED WITH WRIGHT AND WITH OBAMA FOR 20 YEARS.
THEY LOVE WHAT WRIGHT'S SAYING.
THIS PROVES THAT OBAMA'S CLAIMS THAT HE HADN'T EVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS NOT CREDIBLE.
SURELY IF WHAT WRIGHT SAYS HERE IN THIS VIDEO -- WHICH MOST AMERICANS INSTANTANEOUSLY FIND REPULSIVE AND RACIST AND ANTI-PATRIOTIC -- WAS FOUND REPULSIVE BY A FEW OF OBAMA'S CO-WORSHIPPERS HE WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT.
BUT HE CLAIMS HE DIDN'T.
BECAUSE - AS IS PLAIN TO SEE FROM THIS VIDEO - THEY ALL APPROVE OF WRIGHT.,
AND OBAMA DOES TOO.
A MAN WHO APPROVES OF THIS ANTI-PATRIOTIC HATE SPEECH CANNOT BE A GOOD PRESIDENT.
HE SHALL BE AN EVIL PRESIDENT - FILLED WITH THE SAME HATRED AND THE SAME RACISM.
AND SURELY THE ACTIONS OF THIS PRESIDENT WILL DAMN AMERICA.
SO WRIGHT WILL GET HIS WISH.

THE HORRIFIC WORLD OF JIHADIST CHILD PORN
Stephen Brown at Front Page Magazine has a disturbing report about how many jihadists are being discovered to be collectors of child pornography.
WHAT CHICAGO TELLS US ABOUT OBAMA'S POLICIES: THEY SUCK BIGTIME!
- AND LOUSY SCHOOLS. WHEN OBAMA WAS GIVING AWAY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO LEFTISTS THEY SUCKED AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE SUCKED EVER SINCE.
- CAN THAT POSSIBLY BE GOOD FOR EDUCATION!??

IF ELECTED POTUS, OBAMA AND THIS GANG WILL DO THEY SAME TO THE USA AND THE FREE WORLD.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S OFFICIAL: LIVNI TO CALL ELECTIONS - WITH BIBI LEADING POLLS!
Tzipi Livni has decided to go for new elections:
RELIAPUNDIT ADDS: PRAISE THE LORD: IT'S A GREAT DAY!
(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister-designate Tzipi Livni announced late Saturday night she is throwing in the towel on trying to form a new government coalition. She will inform President Shimon Peres early Sunday morning.And that's the limit for me, too. Therefore, her decision to go for new elections is most welcome.
He then will go through the formality of asking other party leaders to try to succeed where Livni failed. The result is certain elections in mid-winter. In the meantime, outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will remain at the helm.
Livni, who is Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, gave up after Shas and (United Torah Judaism-UTJ) refused to join a new government. The last straw for them was her refusal to promise that Jerusalem will remain the undivided capital of the country.
RELIAPUNDIT ADDS: PRAISE THE LORD: IT'S A GREAT DAY!
THE LEFT, OBAMA AND OUR ENEMIES ARE IN SYNCH
PHILLIPS - ON THE ANTI-ZIONIST AND ANTI-"US HEGEMONY" POLICIES OF OBAMA:
IF YOU DON'T FEEL A WEAKER USA IS GOOD FOR THE WORLD, THEN... VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
BTW: I WOULDN'T SURPRISED IF THESE GUYS - AL QAEDA, PUTIN, CHAVEZ, IRAN - ARE DONATING BIG MONEY TO OBAMA...
.. many in the west for whom all this is music to their ears. Whether through wickedness, ideology, stupidity or derangement, they firmly believe that the ultimate source of conflict in the world derives at root from America and Israel, whose societies, culture and values they want to see emasculated or destroyed altogether.AND IT'S GONNA BE A LONG LONG LONG NIGHT - IF OBAMA WINS; THOUGH OUR ENEMIES (AL QAEDA, PUTIN, CHAVEZ, IRAN, ETC) WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THE RESULTS:
They are drooling at the prospect that an Obama presidency will bring that about.
The rest of us can’t sleep at night.
- A WEAKER US ECONOMY,
- A WEAKER US MILITARY,
- AND A REDUCED LIKELIHOOD OF US INTERVENTION ANYWHERE FOR ANY REASON.
- LEFTISTS BELIEVE THAT U.S. IMPERIALISM AND OVER-CONSUMPTION ARE THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, OF MOST OF HISTORY'S GENOCIDE AND FOR THIRD WORLD POVERTY AND AGW.
- ALL OF THESE ARE FALSE, BUT FALSE OR NOT: THEY FUEL THE LEFT'S AMBITION WHILE OBAMA PERSONIFIES IT, AND ALONG WITH PELOSI AND REID CAN BEGIN TO IMPLEMENT IT.
IF YOU DON'T FEEL A WEAKER USA IS GOOD FOR THE WORLD, THEN... VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
BTW: I WOULDN'T SURPRISED IF THESE GUYS - AL QAEDA, PUTIN, CHAVEZ, IRAN - ARE DONATING BIG MONEY TO OBAMA...
DON'T GET DOWN: KERRY WAS LEADING AT THIS POINT - AND EVEN AFTER THE FIRST EXIT POLLS
EXAMPLE:
Quinnipiac Poll: Kerry, Bush tied Among FL RV'sBUSH WON FLORIDA, BIG.
John Kerry and George Bush are tied at 44 percent of Florida RV's, according to a new Quinnipiac University Poll conducted 10/22-26 .The Poll also found that, among the 16 percent of Flordians who have alread voted, Kerry leads by 56-39 percent.
- WE WON THEN; WE CAN WIN NOW.
- KEEP FIGHTING.
- GOTV.
- PRAY, TOO; (IT COULDN'T HURT).
WHEN DOUBLE STANDARDS BECOME NO STANDARDS: THE ADULTERERS: OBAMA AND MAHONEY: WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?
BOTH CHEATERS.
- BUT THE LEFT - AND THE MEDIA THE DOMINATE AND THE PARTY THEY CONTROL - DON'T CARE.
- IT SEEMS TO ME WE SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE NAME VERA BAKER AS MUCH IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE AS WE HEARD THE NAME FOLEY IN THE LAST ELECTION.
- AND MACACCA.

When Carter "spread the wealth"
Check out the tax rates when Jimmy Earl Carter served as "president" in '78.
That's right. Carter's tax rates "spread the wealth" by confiscating 70% of any earnings over $203K. Seventy percent! That motivates a lot of folks to demand cash, hide income, cheat, operate in the black-market and/or not bother to work any harder. Even if you earned only $47K, Carter wanted half. Half!.
As for the results? In 1980 Time magazine put it this way.
...inflation is not only a frightening economic problem but is rapidly becoming Carter's most dangerous political liability as well... In the past few weeks, however, a new side of inflationary psychology has begun to show itself among businessmen and investors: plain, old-fashioned fear. Executives talk of inflation rates going to 20% or more in the next few months, creating an environment in which reasonable planning is impossible. The jitters have unhinged the investment markets. As recently as mid-February, stocks were widely considered a hedge against inflation and thought to be grossly undervalued. The Dow Jones industrial average hit a high of 904 on Feb. 13. But since then it has tumbled 92 points, to 812; nine points of the decline came last week. The average is now lower than it was 16 years ago.
Sound familiar? Maybe there's validity to the contention that the recent stock market turmoil can be termed an "Obama Panic". That is, investors anticipate a disastrous set of Carter-esque policies that send the economy into a tailspin and respond accordingly.
What were the results of Carter's "wealth-spreading" policies?
Inflation rose dramatically, nearly touching 15% by 1980.
Unemployment rose to 11% shortly thereafter. The economy didn't return to health until President Reagan spearheaded lower tax rates.The history is clear: oppressive tax rates for the "rich" (really, just businesspeople small and large) is disastrous for employment and wounds the economy.
Starting to get the picture? Really feel like experiencing an eighties-style economic disaster? Then I urge you to vote for Barack Obama.
MARK MY WORDS: THE ECONOMY HAS BOTTOMED OUT
PROOF: S&L: Horror: House Sales Up, Oil Price Down
- WE WILL CONTINUE TO RECOVER IF AND ONLY IF OBAMA IS NOT ELECTED.
- OBAMA'S TAX INCREASES AND AND ANTI-TRADE POLICIES WILL REVERSE THE REBOUND AND MAKE THING WORSE.
Virginia Officials Illegally Discard Military Votes, Allow Out-of-State Votes
In Virginia's liberal Fairfax County, officials are illegally discarding absentee ballots cast by members of the military based on a technical requirement that is preempted by federal law. Meanwhile, people who live out-of-state are being allowed to vote (some people have boasted of being registered to vote, and voting, both in Virginia and another state) in Virginia elections, contrary to state law, based on instructions from liberal state voting officials and false claims by liberal advocacy groups.
The Washington Examiner reports on October 24 that "Fairfax County elections officials are rejecting about 200 overseas ballots, many of them from members of the military, saying the voters failed to observe a minor technicality in filling out their absentee forms." As retiring Congressman Tom Davis notes, that technicality "violates federal law" through its "disparate treatment of overseas voters."
"The State Board of Elections last week instructed county officials to adhere to the letter of the [state] law," even though it is preempted by contrary federal law. Officials at the State Board of elections are appointed by liberal Governor Tim Kaine.
Meanwhile, that same Board of Elections ordered Norfolk registrar Elisa J. Long to ignore state law by allowing college students not domiciled in Virginia to register and vote in Virginia elections.
The military votes in Fairfax County are being discarded by long-time Democratic operative Rokey Suleman, who became the Fairfax County registrar (a supposedly non-partisan position) after long being "active in Ohio Democratic politics." Suleman earlier sent staffers into the Fairfax County jail to register criminals to vote.

Hatred and Politics
Politics in America is a contact sport. Passions flare and the rhetoric can get heated and nasty. Political parties stoke these fires, playing on people's fears as a key fund-raising tactic.
Conservative authors have produced books with insulting titles like "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They Would Be Republicans" and "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder." The political left counters with ugly titles like "The I Hate Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh... Reader," "The I Hate Dick Cheney... Reader," and "The I Hate George W. Bush Reader."
It is ironic, yet natural, that the political left dominates hate literature. The irony is that the left championed "hate crimes" legislation. Having outlawed public expressions of hatred against various groups -- racial, linguistic, sexual orientation, etc.-- the left sees nothing hypocritical about fomenting hatred toward people of a different political orientation. Even if the "hate" authors don't personally hate Bush et al., people on the left must realize how such ugly language can poison susceptible minds.
While ironic, it is not surprising that hatred of political opponents is so virulent on the left. Hatred has long been a central pillar of leftist ideologies, premised as they are on trampling individual rights for the sake of a collectivist plan. Karl Marx boasted that he was "the greatest hater of the so-called positive." In 1923, V.I. Lenin chillingly declared to the Soviet Commissars of Education, "We must teach our children to hate. Hatred is the basis of communism." In his tract "Left-Wing Communism," Lenin went so far as to assert that hatred was "the basis of every socialist and Communist movement."
Indeed, it is easy to see the thread of hatred running through the various illiberal regimes of history, whether Soviet or Chinese communism or Hitler's national socialism. Only hatred could explain the willingness to kill, enslave, and rob vast numbers of innocent human beings. Hatred corrodes one's conscience. Under its toxic influence, a person will regard man's God-given right to be secure in his life, liberty, and property as nuisances to be overcome, not commandments to be obeyed. The flip side of hatred is an inflated self-love, self-importance, and self-righteousness so extreme that respect for other human beings diminishes and, in extreme cases (Stalin, Mao, Castro, Kim, et al.), disappears.
An incident recounted in the late Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago illustrates this mental deformity (see "Thank You, Alexander Solzhenitsyn"). Soviet officials wanted to transport heavier loads of steel by railroad. When railroad engineers said that heavier loads would break down the tracks, they were shot as saboteurs of progress. When the loads were then increased, the tracks indeed broke down. Political goals could not nullify the principles of engineering.
A leftist conceit is that will-power can change the way the world works. It can't. This mad tendency persists today; signs of it are all around. A recent letter to the editor angrily insisted that the law of supply and demand didn't cause high gasoline prices, but that (what else?) evil oil companies did. The writer then vilified Americans for using too much gasoline (thereby contradicting his earlier statement that demand was irrelevant). So full of hatred is this writer that he spews contempt for economic laws. In his arrogant egotism, he blames the world's problems on the fact that millions of people make choices that he-who fancies himself more enlightened and morally superior to his fellows-thinks they shouldn't make. Welcome to the soul of leftism/illiberalism.
Hatred of individuals for ideological reasons is pathetic to behold. After conservative journalist Tony Snow passed on from a horrible disease (see "Tony Snow: Defender of the President and the Faith"), posters on the leftwing blog Daily Kos wrote "rest in hell" and "[I hope] there really is a hell and [Snow]'s burning in it now." How tragically self-demeaning such hatred is. It is a great sickness of spirit.
More recently, Gov. Sarah Palin has been the object of vicious vituperation and seething hatred (like the threat by comedienne Sandra Bernhard that Palin would be gang-raped if she campaigns in New York City). Perhaps her female attackers feel rebuked by her decision to choose life for babies. Perhaps they feel inadequate by comparison. When I see their contorted faces and hear the desperate unhappiness in their voices, I feel sorry for them and pray that the venom might leave their hearts.

MY FAVORITE PART: THE TAXES/BUCKET OF WATER ANALOGY:
America needs a president who understands the nature of the world we live in, a president who feels no need to apologize for the United States of America. We need a president who understands that you don't make citizens prosperous by making Washington richer and you don't lift an economic downturn by imposing one of the largest tax increases in American history.
Now, our opponents tell us not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they're not going to tax your family.
No, they're just going to tax "businesses." So, unless you buy something from a business, like groceries or clothes or gasoline -- or unless you get a paycheck from a business, a big business or a small business, don't worry, it's not going to affect you!
They say they're not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the other side of the bucket! That's their idea of tax reform.
OBAMA TO SKIP AILING GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY; OBAMA'S WIFE AND KIDS SKIP TRIP ALTOGETHER
Obama Arrives in Hawaii to Visit Ailing Grandmother
HONOLULU -- On a whirlwind trip back to Hawaii, Senator Barack Obama spent more than an hour visiting his ailing grandmother late Thursday and is set to return to her bedside on Friday morning after arriving here on a nine-hour flight from the Midwestern battleground of the presidential campaign.
As soon as he arrived on the island of Oahu, Mr. Obama went to the Punahou Circle Apartments, where his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, lies gravely ill. She is to turn 86 on Sunday, but aides to Mr. Obama said doctors advised him not to delay his visit.
... Mr. Obama is scheduled to be in Hawaii for only about 20 hours before returning to the mainland on Friday evening. He is to appear at three campaign rallies on Saturday in Nevada and New Mexico.
UNBELIEVABLE:
- Obama IS NOT repeat NOT staying for his Granma's birthday - perhaps her last.
- OBAMA'S WIFE MICHELLE AND HIS CHILDREN WILL NOT REPEAT NOT BE SEEING HER AT ALL.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

DAVIS PATERNITY DOES NOT CONTRADICT KENYAN BIRTH
Reliapundit has posted extensively on the possibility that Barack Obama's biological father was not Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., but rather Frank Marshall Davis. That possibility has now been taken up by Chicago-based investigative journalist Andy Martin, and is getting wider play.
A few commentators seem to think that this possibility eliminates the possibility that Senator Obama was actually born in Kenya, as his paternal grandmother and half-siblings have claimed.
Not so.
It is well within the realm of possibility that Barack Hussen Obama, Sr., took his newlywed bride home with him to Kenya, and that her son, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., was born there.
So there are really many reasons why the junior Senator from Illinois might be working so hard to conceal the Hawaii birth records.
A few commentators seem to think that this possibility eliminates the possibility that Senator Obama was actually born in Kenya, as his paternal grandmother and half-siblings have claimed.
Not so.

WHO WROTE "DREAMS FROM MY FATHER"?
Barack Obama first garnered national attention with the publication of his memoir, Dreams From My Father, in 1995.
Reliapundit has noted Obama's perfidious, disloyal, and treacherous treatment of the literary agent who got him that book deal when he was a virtually unknown lawyer and "community organizer" here, here, here, here, here, and here.
That story is important, because it illustrates that Obama's selfish, double-dealing character was established well before he became an elected politician.
There's another intriguing angle regarding that book, however.
An experienced, published author, Jack Cashill, thought that Dreams From My Father was so much better written than anything else known to have been penned by the Illinois junior Senator, that he analyzed Obama's first memoir by comparing it to a memoir authored by Bill Ayers. His conclusion? That Bill Ayers was the ghostwriter who translated Obama's notes into a book.
The evidence is of course purely literary; it is based on careful scrutiny of the two texts. This is the sort of thing that scholars of literature do all the time in order to demonstrate the authorship of anonymous texts.
Obama's discarded agent might know more, but she is prevented from making any statement by the terms of her settlement with Obama.
Now comes another angle, however.
A professor of Greek and Latin literature at Ohio State presents a close reading or explication de texte of the introductions to the various editions of Obama's book, and makes a very curious observation: nowhere in the introductions does Obama actually simply state that he wrote the book!
Very lawyerly, and very reminiscent of the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime, isn't it?

AYERS DISCUSSED "REDUCATION" AND MASS MURDER OF POLITICAL ENEMIES
UPDATE: Read the entire report: it is chilling, and a reminder that sociopaths don't change their stripes as they get older. Ayers/Dohrn stating in 2001 that "they would do it again and didn't do enough"... These people have not changed their beliefs--and they were Obama's mentors...
Mark Levin also began his show with this yesterday...
As a side item, here is a video of Obama talking about "redistributing wealth", although this vid not exactly breaking news; it in 1995: watch here...
Note that this video was filmed in the same timeframe when Obama was actively collaborating with Ayers and Dohrn in "distributing" over $50 million in Annenberg dollars to "friends" in the Chicago area; it also should be noted that Obama announced his initial political campaign from the living room of Ayers and Dohrn.
While we are on the subject of the Weather Underground: This is the man who took Barack Obama personally under his (left) wing (emphasis mine, via Bob Owens):
Barack Obama, in my opinion, really IS a Communist. No, Obama has not openly advocated genocide--but his political mentors did. Does this not at the very least call for a SERIOUS examination of the judgment of this man? Not to mention his 20-year association with the Rev. Wright, his associations with Farrakhan's Million Man March, and his dealings with the corrupt Rezko?
Read that report. Read it all. It is shocking. It is stunning.
I never in my life believed I would live to see a day like this in my country.

While we are on the subject of the Weather Underground: This is the man who took Barack Obama personally under his (left) wing (emphasis mine, via Bob Owens):
You will want to take Bob's advice, trust me. And then you will want to consider: THESE are the people who took Barack Obama under their wing and who launched his first political campaign from their LIVING ROOM. The question should not only be: what did Barack Obama know about Ayers--it should also be: why did Ayers and Dohrn take such a personal interest in Barack Obama??Just a Little Genocide
I asked, "well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."
Twenty-five million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.
And they were dead serious.
This was the testimony of FBI informant Larry Grathwohl in the 1982 documentary No Place to Hide.
The 25 people plotting the extermination of the 25 million Americans who would bitterly cling to the American way of life?
The Weather Underground, led by Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
The genocide of 25 million Americans for daring to cling to the American way of life was just part of their reeducation plan for a communist America.
I do not expect you to take my word for it. Watch the documentary clip above. And if there are those of you who don't trust Grathwohl despite the lives he's saved foiling at least two Weathermen attempts at mass murder, you can simply see what Ayers and Dohrn wrote, in their own words.
Zombie has found an extremely rare, out of print edition of Prairie Fire, the communist manifesto authored by Ayers and Dohrn as they bombed their way across America.
Barack Obama, in my opinion, really IS a Communist. No, Obama has not openly advocated genocide--but his political mentors did.

SHAS RESISTS JOINING LIVNI-LED COALITION
So far, it looks like Shas is not going to join the coalition, as their own demands were not met. If indeed they are standing strong against the temptation, I applaud them. But only by Sunday will we know for sure.
The United Torah Judaism party is also refusing to join. If so, I applaud them too.
Update: Jerusalem Post tells that Shas says their decision is final.

TWO POLLS
IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll: McCain close: "McCain has cut into Obama's lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point de?cit to a 9-point lead among Catholics. An analysis of Final Certified Results for the 2004 election showed IBD's polling partner, TIPP, was the most accurate pollster of the campaign season."
AP presidential poll: All even in the homestretch: "The presidential race tightened after the final debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch. The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain's "Joe the plumber" analogy struck a chord.

"OPERATION ALOHA OBAMA" yields up truth about Barack Obama
There is no independent confirmation of this as yet but it is certainly a straw in the wind. It is actually good for Obama if true because it sets at rest doubts about whether he is a U.S. citizen
Internet powerhouse Andy Martin told a Honolulu news conference today that after an intense international investigation he is convinced that Barack Obama, Junior, the presidential candidate is really the son of Obama's controversial mentor Frank Marshall Davis.
"Mendacious adults 'switched' Obama at birth. That is why he has refused to allow access to the original or `vault' birth certificate," Martin told a Honolulu news conference. "We believe the original certificate did not list a father. Barack Obama became the father as a result of an agreement between Ann Dunham, Frank Marshall Davis and Barack Obama, Sr.
"Davis was already married to a White Woman. He did not need a nonmarital child by a second one. Ann probably refused to have what was then called a `back alley' abortion. Davis may have felt that `Obama' would face less stigma with an `African' background than a Negro one. The civil rights revolution, of course, turned that gambit upside down. In discovering and understanding what happened we cannot forget we are dealing with events in 1961, not 2008.
"The irony in all of this is that Obama once stated he did not want his daughters to be `victimized' with a child. And he is alive because his mother took the contrary view. "Barack Obama has known this since adulthood, and the shock of this discovery still reverberates in his psyche.
"Ironically, what I have to say today dilutes the `Muslim' theory that has propagated. Davis was not a Muslim. If Obama had told the truth at some point in his life, instead of living endlessly with the lies that were imposed on him by the adults in his life, we would have avoided a great deal of confusion. I, for one, have deep compassion for Mr. Obama. He is not the first person in history to be caught up in this kind of family fraud.
"The disclosure by the two women in his life that he was not the 'son' of his `father' also explains why he manifests such extreme ambivalence to both his mother and grandmother. He is angry because he was cheated of his real father. "Obama was robbed of his birthright of being the son of civil rights royalty, and of a father with whom he was completely simpatico. He could have grown up the son of Frank Marshall Davis, civil rights pioneer and activist, cutting-edge journalist, poet and man of letters. Mr. Davis was an extraordinary man in a dark period of this nation's history, the pre-dawn of the civil rights era.
"Obama has probably suspended his campaign and is flying to Honolulu because he is deathly afraid his grandmother may make a `dying declaration' and blow the whistle on his family fraud. Dying people often blurt out the truth. The true facts of Obama's parentage also reflect why there has been so much tension and alienation, as well as genuine love, in Obama's relationship with his grandmother. "Madelyn Dunham is the last surviving person who knows the truth about the switch. That is why as we closed in on Dunham, Obama went ballistic, cancelled his campaign and came to Hawai'i to head us off.
"I actually carry an official, certified pocket-sized birth certificate on me at all times [Andy shows a copy to media]. But this is NOT my `birth certificate.' The original certificate is held in the City Clerk's vault in Middletown, Connecticut. That is what has come to be known as the `vault copy.' "Likewise, the document that Obama has plastered over the Internet is NOT his original birth certificate or even a copy of his original certificate. It is a computer generated facsimile of an official record and nothing more. The original certificate was either handwritten or typewritten, not computer-generated in 1961. No one has ever seen that original certificate except the people that are working so hard to keep it hidden from the American people. "I am asking Judge Ayabe to impound the value certificate and have the court hold it for safekeeping.
"By the time Barack Obama learned who he was, it was too late to change his identity. He was who he was, so he continued the ruse of being the son of an `African herder,' which was yet another lie. `Dreams From My Father' bears no connection to dreams from Barack Obama; there were none. It was Frank Marshall Davis who communicated his dreams to his secret son.
"There is a simple way for Obama to resolve this controversy: he can either admit the truth of these facts and order the immediate release of his vault certificate; or he can submit to a DNA test. We can conduct a Maury Povich-style DNA test to determine filiation between Obama and his brothers, one of whom blogs at BarackObama.com.
"I bear Mr. Obama no ill will and no animus. I have only been a faithful servant of the search for truth, and I believe we finally know the secret truths about who Barack Obama really is: the son of Frank Marshall Davis.""

Obama Race-Baiting Audio Circa 1995
Audio of an interview featuring Obama trying out his race-baiting technique,a la his "mentor".
Is this the smoking gun? From Gateway Pundit:
Obama admits his Redistribution of Wealth is to SAVE the African American community SO HE CAN ENSURE HIS OWN SALVATION! (and Our Countries Salvation) He compares the plight of African Americas to the ethic genocide's of Bosnia and Africa. He blames all of African American's problems on "ONE GROUP" who suppresses them. And He says WHITE people don't want their taxes to help black children.
Pastorius comment: Towards the end of this video, Obama talks about how the problems in Africa, with respect to the poverty and ethnic conflict which troubles the black Africans, are like the problems in Bosnia or Los Angeles.
The thing is, the problems in Africa almost all have to do with Islam.
Obama says that political conflict emanates from the desire of one group to oppress another group in the interests of power, greed, or resources.
First off, that is an amazingly simplistic analysis of geopolitical realities, and this coming from a man who wants to be President of the United States. But beyond that, to conflate the problems black Africans have with Arab Muslims in Africa with the problems black people have in Los Angeles is just wrong. Because Obama doesn't bother going into the details of these conflicts, but instead discusses them as if they arise from the same central problem (that life is unfair?), I can't even answer his concerns, without guessing as to what they might be.
Can anyone else explain to me what is the similarity between, say, Sudan and Los Angeles?
For God's sake, or what have you ...

CHANGES IN THE WORKPLACE
You small business owners out there are preparing for life under a Barack Obama presidency. One of our listeners sent us some new rules for small businesses based on Obama's ideals of change and fairness:
If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama officially becomes president-elect, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:
1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are under-achieving a "fair shake".
2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst you. This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.
3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law doesn't apply to us.
4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all".
5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's "good to spread the wealth around". Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more "patriotic".
6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our Democratic Congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?)!!!
If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

Some practical socialism
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign the read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed--just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need-- the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

OK to say anything about Palin's family but must not even speak the truth about Obama's
Less than 24 hours ago, I put up this post on a news site. It refers to the fact that there are nude pictures of Obama's mother on the net. I didn't put them there (Though I think I know who did). I just drew attention to the pictures and made them more accessible.
The hate-mail and outraged comments from Leftists you can imagine. When however I wrote back to one of the Leftists and said that I assumed that he also was outraged by the false claims about Sarah Palin's family (claims that Trig was really her daughter's baby etc., etc.) he didn't even know what I was talking about. But as a Leftist he was much more likely to hear of the Leftist attacks on Palin's family than he was to see my post. Clearly the scurrilous and totally false attacks on Palin were like water off a duck's back to him. It was only adverse mentions of Obama's family that provoked outrage.
Exactly what I expected, of course. You must not not even speak the truth about the anointed one if there is anything unpleasant about it. He is a second Mohammed.
Leftists can dish it out but they can't take it back. If the Leftist comments about Palin had been even half civilized, I might have felt it inapproriate to mention Obama's mother but, as it was, I simply applied their rule that anything goes these days.
So let me make some more "outrageous" comments on the matter:
Reliapundit (below) has just put up a comparison of a known picture of Obama's mother with one of the pictures that I drew attention to. There is no doubt that both are of the same woman, even though the nude photo was of her when she was much younger. The long chin is particularly notable. Women normally (but not always) have receding chins. Very broadly, a strong chin in a woman indicates more testosterone and a strong sexual appetite.
Another thing to note: Frank Marshall Davis wrote an autobiography and "One chapter concerns the seduction by Mr Davis and his first wife of a 13-year-old girl called Anne".
So who did put up the pictures originally? I think they got onto the net via a bulletin board, one of the predecessors of the internet. Bulletin boards had LOTS of pictures of nude women. The photographer is the logical one to have uploaded them and Frank Marshall Davis died in 1987 -- well inside the lifetime of bulletin boards.
Barack Obama senior, on the other hand, died in Africa in 1982 and we read of his latter years: "Obama Sr.'s life then took a tailspin into drinking and poverty, from which he never recovered." So it seems unlikely that Barack Obama senior was the uploader.

The Manifesto of the Silenced Majority
• We believe that Barack Obama is a brilliant orator and a man possessed of more charisma than any politician since JFK.
• But we also believe that his philosophy of "spreading the wealth around" is an ill-disguised form of socialism that undermines everything America holds dear.
• We believe that a "tax cut on 95% of working Americans" when only 63% of Americans pay taxes is nonsensical.
• We believe that the Obama campaign's obfuscated funding for ACORN (originally described as "event planning") undermines the integrity of our elections and calls into question the legality of his tactics.
• We believe that Barack Obama's plan to form a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military is ill-considered at best.
• We believe that the Obama campaign's efforts to intimidate WGN (on two separate occasions) when it interviewed his political foes endangers free speech.
• We believe that Obama's choice of Joe Biden as VP runs counter to his twin aspirations of "hope" and "change".
• We believe that a man who could not otherwise receive a security clearance should not serve as Commander-in-Chief.
• We believe that Obama's 20-year relationship with his pastor, who he once described as his "spiritual adviser", displays a basic affinity for a racist ideology that runs counter to everything his candidacy should stand for.
• We believe that most of Obama's senate experience has been spent running for office; from the time he was sworn in as a U.S. senator to the time he formed a presidential exploratory committee, he logged only 143 days in the senate.
• We believe that Obama does voters a disservice by hiding his chairmanship of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (a $165 million dollar effort to improve Chicago's schools) when he used that service as his central experience in 2000 during his first run for Congress.
• We believe that Obama made a series of very poor choices by serving on boards and sharing an office with Bill Ayers (for three years); Ayers' organization killed three police officers, bombed numerous government facilities and nearly detonated a nail bomb at a Fort Dix Officer's Dance.
• We believe that, no matter Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, his evasive and ever-morphing answers about their work together smack of a coverup.
• We believe that anyone -- no matter their position on abortion -- who supports killing an infant that survived a botched abortion is on the wrong side of any moral code.
• We believe that Obama's advisers and contributors -- from Tony Rezko to Valerie Jarrett to Allison Davis -- cost taxpayers millions in development fees for failed (and often uninhabitable) apartment complexes.
• We believe that Obama's Illinois state senate experience was insubstantial: it was, by his own description, a "part-time position" and he maintained two offices (one at the state senate and one at his law firm).
• We believe that Obama's state senatorial experience was further diluted by his 129 "present" votes, which, as NPR observes , "There's a saying in Springfield that there's a reason why the present button is yellow... [but] I don't think that Barack Obama was necessarily a coward for voting present on those bills..."
• We also believe that Obama's experience as a community organizer and as a trainer for ACORN are not qualifications for the presidency.
• We believe that the candidate has not been forthcoming with his background and the key influencing forces during his formative years.
We therefore believe that Barack Obama is ill-prepared and ill-suited for the Presidency.

Pew Study PROVES Media in the Tank for Dems as Obama Camp Adopts "Hide Biden" Strategy
And...just in the last MONTH:
Source: Pew Research Center - October 22, 2008
Gee, I wonder why everyone is so "convinced" that a single-digit race is "all over":
Who knew???The media coverage of the race for president has not so much cast Barack Obama in a favorable light as it has portrayed John McCain in a substantially negative one, according to a new study of the media since the two national political conventions ended.
Press treatment of Obama has been somewhat more positive than negative, but not markedly so.
But coverage of McCain has been heavily unfavorable -- and has become more so over time. In the six weeks following the conventions through the final debate, unfavorable stories about McCain outweighed favorable ones by a factor of more than three-to-one -- the most unfavorable of all four candidates -- according to the study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism.
Not only that, but for all of the ridiculous (yes, I said ridiculous...and I mean ri-diculous) speculation that Sarah Palin is actually a drag on the McCain ticket, Glenn Reynolds demonstrates that Joe Biden is not exactly "feeling the love" from the top of his ticket:
Listen, folks, it is pretty damn simple: they are trying to convince you that it is over. It isn't. They are lying, they are trying to keep you home if you intend to vote for McCain. They are working with the Democrats to FIX this election, as they have been doing all year.WHO'S HIDING NOW? "It might be surprising to some to learn that Sarah Palin is now talking to her national press corps more often than Joe Biden. While the once silent Palin has taken questions from reporters that travel with her three times in the last week, Biden has not offered the same type of access to reporters who cover his every move on the campaign trail in almost two months."
Plus this: "Biden has also not taken questions from voters in a town hall style setting since Sept. 10 in Nashua, New Hampshire, when he told a supporter that Hillary Clinton might have been a better pick for vice president."
UPDATE: ABC NEWS: "Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., today again avoided mentioning his guarantee that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., would be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in office, focusing instead on criticizing Sen. John McCain." It sounds like the press is getting a bit testy about the cocooning here. . . .
It is FAR from over. Don't wait for election day when all the thugs will be out: go do your duty to save OUR country from ruin this week. And quit watching those idiots on MSNBC, NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC... and yes, even Fox (I am talking to you Bill Kristol...); all who are trying their damdest to mail this thing in for Obama.
Remember Dewey Defeats Truman? Remember when they told you Bush was behind 5 points on Election Day?? Why are you still listening to them? This is YOUR election, not theirs. This is OUR country not theirs. Are you really going to surrender your right to have a say because of what the in the TANK media is saying??
Now get out there to your nearest polling place and act accordingly.
The Open Borders Network: Illegal Access To America
By Frosty Wooldridge
Ever wonder how millions of illegal aliens maintain their ability to remain inside the United States without fear of lawful deportation? How do they remain lawless while they enjoy impunity from our laws? How can so many organizations, that support illegals, thrive above the laws of our country?
In a brilliant expose', Kevin Lamb wrote, "The Open Borders Network" in TheSocialContract.com, Volume XVIII, No. 4, Summer 2008, which shows how philanthropic foundations fund immigrant ethnic lobbies.
"No matter how actively engaged grassroots, patriotic Middle Americans are trying to individually register their views by writing their congressman or publishing letters to the editor of their local newspaper or casting a vote, in a pluralistic representative democracy such activities are no match for well-organized, open-borders network and ethnic-immigrant lobbies," said Lamb. "Those who remain unorganized will eventually find themselves outmatched and politically outmaneuvered by well-organized adversaries."
Thus, as you look across the American landscape in 2008, you hear "Press 1 for English" and "Press 2 for Spanish" at most businesses across this nation. You see entire classrooms taken over by Spanish speaking children while their mothers birth more children at taxpayer expense in local hospitals. Those children devour tax dollars with free breakfast and lunch programs. You don't see it, but your tax dollars fund $436 billion annually for illegal alien migrants across 12 federal agencies.
William Hawkins and Erin Anderson, authors of "The Open Borders Lobby" said, "The concept of `open borders' has long been an agenda of the left. Since the 1960s, a vast network including hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of grassroots activists, backed by hundreds of millions of dollars from left-wing foundations, has waged a sustained campaign to open America's borders to a mass migration from the Third World."
Multiculturalists use mass immigration as a beachhead for undermining America's sovereignty and usurp the assimilation process by breaking down traditional cultural barriers. In plain words, they expect to destroy America's culture by degrading it into a menagerie of competing cultures. We're watching a complete displacement of a successful culture by a plethora of failed cultures invading America's heartland.
Back in 1972, a mere 70 immigration lawyers aided a handful of illegal aliens in fighting their deportation orders. Today, over 8,000 immigration lawyers aid and abet aliens while obstructing U.S. immigration laws in order to keep their illegal clients within the United States.
La Raza, "the race", founded in 1968, and funded by the likes of the Ford Foundation founded by Edsel Ford, son of Henry Ford, advocates for separation by Hispanics in America. Its founding motto means, "For the Hispanic race, everything; for anyone outside the race, nothing!" Since its inception, American companies and even the U.S. government funded La Raza to the tune of $33,217,000.00 for their activities.
Those actions include reconquista or complete takeover of the four borders states neighboring Mexico. If not by outright revolution, they expect to repopulate Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California into Mexican dominance. One look at Texas and California shows their success appears imminent. While La Raza declares outright separation, MALDEF, LULAC, NLC and MECHA work for ways to dissolve the U.S.-Mexican border via more subtle means. They support dissolution of our borders deletetheborder.org.
In the meantime, Hungarian born multi-billionaire George Soros funds "The Open Society Institute" which proposes a borderless North America. He advocates for complete destruction of the United States Constitution and U.S. sovereignty. Worth over $9 billion, he backs up his plans with ample money.
If American citizens don't know why their borders suffer invasion, they might look to the $82,389,000.00 spent by Ford Foundation, Soros, Wells Fargo, AT&T, Anheuser-Busch, Rockefeller Foundation, Washington Mutual and other organizations that methodically work toward ultimate vanquishing of the United States of America as a free and independent nation.
The Ford Foundation, AT&T, Wells Fargo, George Soros, Professor Luis Gutierrez of "If necessary, we must kill the white man." fame, journalist Ruben Navarrette, Linda Chevez, Mayors Antonio Villaraigosa, John Hickenlooper, Bloomberg, Daly, Newsome and many other "Sanctuary City" advocates, Maine Governor Baldacci, House Representative Joe Baca, Chris Cannon, Senator John McCain, Senator Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, U.S. Senate leader Harry Reid, and the granddaddy of them all Senator Teddy Kennedy-all of them work toward the ultimate destruction of America's sovereignty.
And you know something; they most certainly succeed faster and faster as the American public stands around sucking its thumb.

"In a less than perfect world, the allocation of rights based on territory must be defended if a ruinous breeding race is to be avoided. It is unlikely that civilization and dignity can survive everywhere; but better in a few places than in none. Fortunate minorities act as the trustees of a civilization that is threatened by uninformed good intentions." -- Garrett Hardin
