Muslim Informants prevent domestic terror: the data
As Americans, Muslim Americans have the same vested interest in preventing terrorism as any other fellow citizen. In fact, since 9-11 woke all of us (muslim and non-muslim alike) to the reality of terrorism against our homeland, American muslims have arguably borne a greater responsibility in preven

‘Word Cloud’, indeed. The commonwealth’s in grim trouble, and the dems choose a guy with a non-existent resume? Well, could have been worse–it could have been Edwards! And of course, Hillary wins 18 million votes, and doesn’t even rate no 2?
Give me a break!

I watched Obama Barack at the last Democratic Convention in 2004. I wished he were running right then! I didn’t need a pedigee on him, or if he had a resume that would pass muster. He was so right on about everything! He and Biden are what America needs after an eight year nightmare. So I agree with the writer of this article. Pay attention everyone Hillary and William are behind him 100%!

The word cloud demonstrates how Sen. Obama’s speeches appeal to emotions despite their illogic. “America Promise”? What can America promise tomorrow that it doesn’t promise today? Loads of federal freebies like health care, guaranteed jobs close to home, free education from daycare to university? Of course, paying for these things will diminish America’s economic promise in favor of “change agent” promise.
No thanks; I’ll take small government and strong economic growth over cradle-to-grave freebies and trust the promise guaranteed by a nation of free people working towards their personal visions of the American Dream unhindered by a well-meaning but incompetent and oppressive government.

It’s obvious what’s important to Obama: getting his hands on the first prize: America; getting rid of the competition: McCain; and how he’s going to do that is by *promising* the voters any and everything.
It is so much better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. So if his “promises” don’t gel, well he can always say sorry, but what good will that do when he’s already president. Number one priority is to get in the pound seat first and that’s by promising the moon.
