I think I may be repeating myself by posting this, but I can’t teach these facts often enough.

Quite a list

I think he is a duck!

Keep this old adage in mind: If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck there is a very high probability that you’re a duck!

Mike Gallagher, the 8th most recognized talk radio personality in the country, is heard by over 2.25 million listeners weekly. He compiled and wrote the following essay entitled, “Obama: It was You.”

President Obama:

This is why you didn’t go to France to show solidarity against the Muslim terrorists:
·
It was you who spoke these words at an Islamic dinner -“I am one of you.”
·
It was you who on ABC News referenced -“My Muslim faith .”
·
It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.
·
It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict-“I will stand with the Muslims .”
·
It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that -“I am a Muslim .”

It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi King.
·
It was you who sat for 20 years in a LiberationTheology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.
·
It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.
·
It was you who purposefully omitted – “endowed by our Creator ” – from your recitation of The Declaration OfIndependence.
·
It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ’s Sermon On The Mount while repeatedly referring to the ‘HOLY’ Qur’an.
·
It was you who traveled the Islamic world denigrating the United States Of America.

administration behind the building of the Ground Zero Victory mosque overlooking the hallowed crater of the World Trade Center.
·
It was you who refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast,but hastened to host an Islamic prayer breakfast at the White House.
·
It was you who ordered Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ BEFORE you would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, you have NEVER requested the mosques you have visited to adjust their decor.

It is you who has refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, have submitted Arizona
to the UN for investigation of hypothetical human-rights abuses.
·
It was you who when queried in India refused to acknowledge the true extent of radical global Jihadists, and instead profusely praised
Islam in a country that is 82% Hindu and the victim of numerous Islamic terrorists assaults.
·
It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.S.taxpayer dollars to Hamas.

·
It is you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan.
·
It is you who departs forHawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal WH religious
events.
·
It was you who was uncharacteristically quick to join the chorus of the Muslim Brotherhood to deposeEgypt’s Hosni Mubarak, formerly
America’s strongest ally in North Africa; but, remain muted in your non-response to the Brotherhood led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.
·
It was you who appointed your chief adviser,Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian,who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
·
It was you who said this country is not a Christian nation.

English: Democratic party poster 1952 for Adlai Stevenson. never copyrighted; no (c) symbol (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Note the campaign poster comparison between the Republican and Democrat challengers, the message has still not changed nor have the outcomes, the country is still a mess.

This morning while I wait for my bride to get ready for a road trip I am reading e-mails and have some really great ones to share with you. My favorite quote is by Adlai Stevenson, the last great Governor of  Illinois. Aesop wins the most lasting quote award, true in BC and still true today.

 If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.

~Jay Leno~
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
~Henry Cate, VII~
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
~Aesop~
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn’t be any inducement to go to heaven.
~Will Rogers~
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev~
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I’m beginning to believe it.
~Clarence Darrow~
Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.
~Author unknown~
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
~John Quinton~
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
~Oscar Ameringer~
  ;
I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.
~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952~
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
~ Tex Guinan~
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
~Charles de Gaulle~
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.
~Doug Larson~
There ought to be one day — just one — when there is open season on senators.
~Will Rogers~
