an email from my mother-in-law

so my mother in law called me last night to ask me for my email address because she wants to send me a letter. most of my three readers will understand why that might make me nervous. we havent always had the best relationship and the last piece of correspondence from one of us to the other wasn't so nice. but that was about 3 years ago. the last few visits, things seem to be improving in terms of our relationship, much to the appeasement of my husband. part of me wonders if it's going to be mushy and make me cry or of some of it will make me angry and make me want to call her and scream...but we'll see.

Jack Wheeler is and idiot. Period.

A friend of mine posted this on her myspace a few days ago. I read it and my first reaction was, "are you fucking serious? people actually believe this shit???" Then I realized, the person who posted it is not an idiot--and she believes it. she's a fully rational thinking human being--and a democrat. I didn't want to upset her with a response that wasn't rational and researched. So I took a few days and mulled over it. Now, I am posting it here because I want everyone who sees it to know how ridiculous it is. It is an article by a man named Jack Wheeler He is highly educated and supposedly intelligent. But he spews shit like this.

it's also worth mentioning that Mr. Wheeler also accused John McCain of collaborated with the communists during his captivity.

MY COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO THE ARTICLE ARE IN RED.

Jack Wheeler is a brilliant man who was the author of Reagan's strategy to break the back of the Soviet Union with the star wars race and expose their inner weakness. For years he wrote a weekly intelligence update that was extremely interesting and well structured and informed. He consults(ed) with several mega corporations on global trends and the future, etc. I think he is in semi-retirement now. He is a true patriot with a no-nonsense approach to everything. He is also a somewhat well known mountain climber and adventurer.

I love the way the email precludes itself with credits to Jack Wheeler and his brilliance. This man is far from brilliant. He is insane. Although, I find it hard to believe that with his education and professional experience that he actually believes the shit that he spews in this article. Actually I think he may just be trying to get a rise out of people. The problem is there are people who take what he says as the gospel and will vote based on his comments.

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

No accomplishments? What about receiving 18 million votes in the Primaries? What about teaming up with REPUBLICAN, DICK LUGER on an initiative to lock down and secure both nuclear and conventional weapons worldwide, such as the shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft missiles that have been proliferating in recent years.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

the only family I ever hear Barack Obama give credit to are his mother, grandmother and grandfather—last I checked they are all white. What is “Arab”?? The term “Arab” refers to Arabic-speaking countries. It is not a race. How can you be ‘mostly’ arab? This is a ridiculous claim. Moreover, he didn’t choose his name so how can he ‘proclaim’ anything to do with it???

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American, ' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancesto rs were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

The term ‘African American’ is not reserved specifically for descendants of slaves. Here is how Wikipedia describes ‘African Americans’:
African Americans or Black Americans are citizens or residents of the
United States who have origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.[5] In the United States, the term is generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Most African Americans are the descendants of Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States, although some are — or are descended from — voluntary immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean, South America, or elsewhere.[6] African Americans make up the single largest racial minority in the United States,[7] though Hispanics compose the largest ethnic minority.[8]

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

Wouldn’t that actually make him the perfect Conservative Messiah? Let’s just be honest about that.

It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Stole??? He won with 18million votes. That’s not a steal. It’s an ass-whoopin. How can anyone tell me that I reject Christianity just because I am an obama supporter? Does this man know the personal thoughts of every single Obama supporter? I doubt it.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering Absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no Arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd. Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.
His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

This article should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

Pass this on to every thinking American you know!

Sure thing, no problem. But it will have my comments.

Isabella



A week ago today I witnessed the most amazing thing i ever have in my life. my niece, Isabella was born to my younger sister, Brandi.




The whole experience was incredible. I was at the hospital when my nephew Jacob was born, and was 17 when my brother was born. I've held newborn babies before. But it has never affected me the way Isabella has. I don't know if it's the fact that I was actually there when she was born or because I am getting to the age where if i'm going to have children, i'd like to do it soon. But i'm still torn on the subject. apart from not likely being able to naturally have children, i am not really in a place to adopt. but the desire is definitely there. it could fade, or it might not. but i know that when i look at her, i see perfection. innocence. blank canvas. it's such an amazing feeling to just hold her in my hands. i know i'm not amerigo vespucci (sp?) here, discovering america. i'm not the only one who has ever felt this way, i'm certain. But the feeling is new to me.




ANyway, enough about me and my feelings. look at this beautiful child...
