Thank you so much for the informational email to me, to all of us Missourians. My wife and I, and I know most other Missourians as well, appreciate you and your efforts to serve us in the best way possible. We are so amazed at the manner you 'hit the road running' in the Senate--and have aggressively continued to keep the State of Missouri and our country foremost in your efforts to serve. Your visual and astute presence and your strong and clear articulation of problems facing our country and possible solutions thereto has been an inspiration to all of us. And, we are sure President-elect Obama owes a lot to you, as national co-chair, for his election.
I am reminded of the national political personality/reporter/columnist who said yesterday concerning Obama's election that, even given Michelle Obama's mis-valued quote, (paraphrased) "This is the first time in a very long time that I have been so proud of my country." So many of us feel the same way; we are so very proud of our country for overcoming so many different kinds of fears to elect Barak Obama as our next President. There is no doubt whatsoever that this brilliant, luminous, engaging personality; this very intelligent and this charismatic leader, will make us even more proud of our country. And you, our most gracious Ms. Senator, we are also sure, will be right in the mix along with President Obama to lead our country to a more exhalted level. God Bless.

Thomas Jefferson--A "patriot?"
I know that many, most, probably, admire Thomas Jefferson but in many respects he was an arrogant (as in aristocratic) blowhard, coward, political (as in our government) subversive, pernicious, avant garde political rabble rouser. The only thing really worthy of note in all the praise of Jefferson is his work on the Declaration of Independence--and in that regard he needed a lot of help from the many other Founding Fathers; he was given the task of drafting the Declaration of Independence by his co-committee members because writing was greatest attribute--and to give him something to do because, otherwise, he was an inept, unproductive and inconsequential delegate to the first Continental Congress; and, the Declaration of Independence was actually written by Thomas Jefferson et al.
He gets a "thumbs down" from me because he turned-tail and fled (deserted?) when the fight was on.
Just my opinion, of course.
Debunking Michelle Obama's Thesis Criticisim--July 2008
My first thought when I read this email (see email below) Satanizing Michelle Obama was, "What did John McCain writesabout in his senior thesis?.....Did he even write one (by himself)? Seeing as how he finished 894th out of 899 (fifth from the bottom!) of his graduating class at the Naval Academy it wouldn't surprise me if he paid someone to write his thesis for him, considering his disdain for academics."
Perhaps John McCain's campaign will make McCain's senior thesis available (if there is one) for critique as Obama's campaign has made Michelle's thesis available? (Political.com's request for Michelle's thesis was promptly accommodated and publicly distributed early this year.)If one would go back and actually read Michelle's thesis and the Princetonian's basic review--and Snopes brief that put her thesis into context--any open-minded, thinking person would readily come to the conclusion that as a young black college student Michelle wrote a compelling missive on her research and on her frank considerations, thoughts, and perceptions concerning the black culture (a snapshot in time) during a time of significant upheaval in our American society--a time when blacks were finally beginning to emerge from a pit of darkness to achieve a certain level of success and status both educationally and economically, and to take a place at the American societal table.
Also, note that Michelle's study comprised results of responses from 22 percent of the solicited graduates of Princeton from the 70's--NOT current students during her time at Princeton.
My thoughts about people who come up with warped analysis such as the below, over-analyzing and putting a demonic partisan twist to even the most objective palatable thought, is their inane comments about political foes will always have a smelly, foul odor because they are lacking the competence to put forth a positive flavor toward their own candidates; they only know how to disparage their opponents and call them names.

This potential future First Lady must be put aside at the election, including her empty suited husband.
According to Snopes.com, Princeton was requested to put a 'restriction' on distribution of any copies of the thesis of Michelle Obama (a/k/a/ Michelle laVaughn Robinson) saying it could not be made available until November 5, 2008 but when it was published on apolitical website they decided they would lift the restriction.OBAMA'S MILITANT RACISM REVEALEDIn her senior thesis at Princeton , Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on 'crime and hatred'.Moreover, she stated that whites in America were 'ineradicably racist'.
The1985 thesis, titled 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community' was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson. Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to 'Whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first...' However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, 'If those 'Whites at Princeton' really saw Michelle as one who always would 'be Black first,' it seems that she gave them that impression'. Most alarming is Michele Obama's use of the terms 'separationist' and 'integrationist' when describing the views of black people.Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a 'separationist' view of race.'By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.'Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her 'further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.' Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder.Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America, but she elevates black over white in her world.Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning: 'There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.'What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she's first lady that will elevate black over white in America? The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration. 'Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.'
The conclusion of her thesis is alarming. Michelle Obama's poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin. 'I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility. 'Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input. Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternallyconflicted with one another.The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama's thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism. This is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.Michelle Obama's intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern. Now maybe she's changed, but she sure sounds like some one with an axe to grind with America. Will the press let Michelle get a free pass over her obviously racist comment about American whites? I am sure that it will.PS: We paid for her scholarship.

Sorry, buddy, but I truly hope this was passed along as a rabid joke showing the world (those who read it anyway [hopefully not many]) the depth of inane depravity the right-wing will stoop to.
Hope you consider forwarding my comments to all those to whom you forwarded the original.
Your Continuing friend,

The Jihad Candidate - by Rich Carroll
Conspiracy theories make for interesting novels when the storyline is not so absurd that it can grasp our attention. 'The Manchurian candidate' and 'Seven Days in May' are examples of plausible chains of events that captures the reader's imagination at best-seller level.
'What if' has always been the solid grist of fiction.
Get yourself something cool to drink, find a relaxing position, but before you continue, visualize the television photos of two jet airliners smashing into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan and remind yourself this cowardly act of Muslim terror was planned for eight years.
How long did it take Islam and their oil money to find a candidate for President of the United States? As long as it took them to place a Senator from Illinois and Minnesota? The same amount of time to create a large Muslim enclave in Detroit? The time it took them to build over 2,000 mosques in America? The same amount of time required to place radical wahabbist clerics in our military and prisons as 'chaplains'?
Find a candidate who can get away with lying about their father being a 'freedom fighter' when he was actually part of the most corrupt and violent government in Kenya's history. Find a candidate
with close ties to The Nation of Islam and the violent Muslim overthrow in Africa, a candidate who is educated among white infidel
Americans but hides his bitterness and anger behind a superficial toothy smile.
Find a candidate who changes his American name of Barry to the Muslim name of Barak Hussein Obama, and dares anyone to question
his true ties under the banner of 'racism'. Nurture this candidate in an
atmosphere of anti-white American teaching and surround him with
Islamic teachers. Provide him with a bitter, racist, anti-white, anti-American wife, and supply him with Muslim middle east connections and Islamic monies. Allow him to be clever enough to get
away with his anti-white rhetoric and proclaim he will give $834 billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim controlled United Nations for use in Africa.
Install your candidate in an atmosphere of deception because questioning him on any issue involving Africa or Islam would be seen
as 'bigoted racism'; two words too powerful to allow the citizenry to
be informed of facts. Allow your candidate to emplo several black
racist Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan followers as members of his
Illinois Senatorial and campaign staffs.
Where is the bloodhound American 'free press' who doggedly verturned every stone in the Watergate case? Where are our nation's reporters that have placed every Presidential candidate under the
microscope of detailed scrutiny; the same press who pursue Bush's
'Skull and Bones' club or ran other candidates off with persistent detective and research work? Why haven't 'newsmen' pursued the 65 blatant lies told lies told by this candidate during the Presidential
primaries? Where are the stories about this candidate's cousin and the Muslim butchery in Africa? Since when did our national press corps become weak, timid, and silent? Why haven't they regaled us with the long list of socialists and communists who have surrounded this 'out of nowhere' Democrat candidate or that his church re-printed the Hamas Manifesto in their bulletin, and that his 'close pastor friend
and mentor' met with Middle East terrorist Moammar Gaddafi, (Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's
Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) Why isn't the American press telling us this candidate is supported by every Muslim organization in the world?
As an ultimate slap in the face, be blatant in the fact your candidate
has ZERO interest in traditional American values and has the most
liberal voting record in U.S. Senate history. Why has the American
main stream media clammed-up on any negative reporting on Barak
Hussein Obama? Why will they print Hillary Rodham Clinton's name but never write his middle name? Is it not his name? Why, suddenly, is ANY information about this candidate not coming from main stream media, but from the blogosphere by citizens seeking facts and the
truth? Why isn't our media connecting the dots with Islam? Why do
they focus on 'those bad American soldiers' while Islam slaughters non Muslims daily in 44 countries around the globe? Why does our media refe to Darfur as 'ethnic cleansing' instead of what it really is;
Muslims killing non- Muslims! There is enough str ange, anti-American activity surrounding Barak Hussein Obama to peek the curiosity of any reporter. WHERE IS OUR INVESTIGATIVE MEDIA!?
A formal plan for targeting America was devised three years after the
Iranian revolution in 1982. The plan was summarized in a 1991 memorandum by Mohamed Akram, an operative of the global Muslim
Brotherhood. 'The process of settlement' of Muslims in America, kram
explained, 'is a civilization jihad process.' This means that members
of the Brotherhood must understand that their work in 'America is a
kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their
hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and
God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.'
There is terrorism we can see, smell and fear, but there is a new kind
of terror invading The United States in the form of Sharia law and
finance. Condoning it is civilization suicide. Middle East Muslims are
coming to America in record numbers and building hate infidel mosques, buying our corporations, suing us for our traditions, but
they and the whole subject of Islam is white noise leaving informed
Americans about who and what is really peaceful. Where is our investigative press? Any criticism of Islam or their intentions, even
though Islamic leaders state their intentions daily around the globe,
brings-forth a volley of 'racist' from the left-wing Democrat crowd.
Lies and deception behind a master plan - the ingredient for 'The
Manchurian Candidate' or the placement of an anti-American resident
in our nation's White House? Is it mere coincidence that an anti-capitalist run for President at the same time Islamic sharia finance and law is trying to make advancing strides into the United
States? Is it mere coincidence this same candidate wants to dis-arm
our nuclear capabili ty at a time when terrorist Muslim nations are
expanding their nuclear weapons capability? Is it mere coincidence
this candidate wants to reduce our military at a time of global jihad
from Muslim nations?
Change for America? What change? To become another 'nation of Islam'?
From 2005
However, though I agree with a lot that he says [commentor on Iraq war] the point that he DOESN'T make is that our being in Iraq (that includes our illegal takeover of Iraq) has only spurred terrorists in the Middle East and increased the violence (terror); now they're coming into Iraq to train and revitalize their forces. We are not even going to begin to eliminate terrorist activity until we have "cleaned house" in all of the Middle East--and I don't mean by invading Iran, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, et al. I mean we have to diplomatically "get in bed" with these Middle East countries, and work together on a "level playing field" to eliminate terrorists. Of course, that means drastically altering/changing our foreign policies. Unfortunately, inclusiveness and consideration of other countries' polity and wisdom is not a Bush/Bush administration axiom. With Bush, it's 'My way or The highway'; .......and it's just that kind of approach that has got us in so much of this trouble.
