Obama: Arab-American Families Being Rounded Up?
American Thinker ^ | 3-04-08 | Lance Fairchok



By Lance Fairchok


"If there is an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties. It is that fundamental belief, I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work." - Senator Barack Obama


In a televised twelve-second campaign spot aired in Texas, Senator Obama gives a stirring speech to a standing ovation. It is the predictable litany of American faults he will miraculously correct: literacy, expensive prescription drugs and insufficient civil liberties. However, he seems particularly concerned for Arab-Americans. "If there is an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties."


This was an astonishing statement, an infuriating statement and a statement that speaks volumes to Obama's ideology.


Arab-American families being rounded up would not only threaten all our civil liberties, it would raise such a universal outcry, it could not long endure. Even the suggestion it could occur is a profound insult to our nation and our citizenry. It is an image of the gulag, the death camp, the dictatorship, and so inappropriate in any discussion about America, it is beneath our contempt.


Perhaps the Senator is carried away by his remarkable political ascendancy and so emboldened by the lack of critical comment in the press, he believes he can say anything. Perhaps he believes he has so mesmerized us with his oratory that we will not catch the inference of his words. Perhaps he really believes that we are that kind of country, that our people do not cherish civil liberty sufficiently to defend it for all citizens.


This despicable image of innocent families imprisoned and the ethnic cleansing it suggests is a theme the radical left nurtures. It is by design intended to portray an unjust and intolerant people, it was no error, no misstatement. It elicits moral outrage with false assumptions, endlessly repeating those assumptions until believed. It is behind the exaggeration of everything the U.S. does in the war on terror or against Islamic extremism. It is behind the hysteria over the Patriot Act.


As divorced from truth as it is, it is found everywhere in the propaganda of the left, from the Bush-Hitler signs, to the fabrications of American military wrongdoing in the press, to the invented Islamophobia in our populace. It is the motivation behind Michael Moore, Code Pink, MoveOn.Org and George Soros. It is unfortunately the message the media aids and abets.


This moral contrariness gives us American "progressives" embracing dictators and terrorists such as Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Iran's Ahmedinejhad and Syria's Bashar al Assad. It finds equivalence between defending America and Al Qaeda and Hezbollah terrorism. It believes malevolent evil can actually be stopped with dialogue and compromise. It gravitates to a miserable "better red than dead" nihilism that allows no pride or faith in America. It excuses our enemies and indicts everything American. It is the impenitent legacy of the Carter and Clinton administrations. It is illogical and irrational and a road to failure and catastrophe.


"I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work." Yet, he also says that our country does not work, that we need change. Even as he wraps this contradiction in biblical allusion and positive words like "Hope" and "Change We Can Believe In" his underlying belief system surfaces in clues overlooked by his handlers.


The bleak fantasy of Arab-American families interned for being Arabs and, of course, for being Muslim is very plausible to the radicals that help write his speeches. Senator Obama holds a wretched America in his heart, a country he has no pride in nor wishes to preserve. If his vision starts from failure, where will it end? There is no truth in his words, just as there is no substance. One may speak well, but still speak lies. An Obama presidency would be a disaster.


The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil. - Cicero

The more he opens his mouth, the more it appears that he doesn't really know what he's about. It also appears he understands little and hasn't pondered much in his life time. He's out of touch with practically everything and needs to study the issues.

It isn't like we haven't done something like this before.

You are obviously incapable of understanding but I will say it again just for you. He voted against going into Iraq because the stated purpose of dumya's was bogus and we needed to be going full force into Afghanistan where bush had said we would chase the ones responsible for 911 wherever they are hiding until all of them are killed or captured. They weren't hiding in Iraq at the time of the invasion but the sure as heck are now. Wake up! You have been snookered by the members of the Project for a New American Century.

Exactly correct, they were openly training in Northern Iraq, but now they need to hide or they end up taking a dirt nap with 72 virgins.

I hate to bother any of you libs with facts, but your boy wasn't even in the U.S. Senate when the vote took place. The Iraq War Resolution was passed by the Senate in October of 2002. Obama wasn't sworn in to the U.S. Senate until January of 2005.

So...at the time of the vote, Obama was an Illinois state senator. Did they have a war resolution in Illinois, too? :lol:

Excuse me, Barack Obama can claim he never voted to go into Iraq because he wasn't even in office until 2005? If I'm way off please let me know. I thought the vote was taken, ahem, in 2003?

Taken from his web site:


Sworn into office January 4, 2005, Senator Obama serves on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees our nation’s health care, schools, employment, and retirement programs. He is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, which plays a vital role in shaping American policy around the world, including our policy in Iraq. And Senator Obama serves on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, which is focused on providing our brave veterans with the care and services they deserve. In 2005 and 2006, he served on the Environment and Public Works Committee, which safeguards our environment and provides funding for our highways.

During his eight years in the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. Obama also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama enlisted the support of law enforcement officials to draft legislation requiring the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

:???: :???: :???: :???: :???: :???: :shock:

This just amazes me how people can be so gullible to this crap and believe anything the mainstream media puts in front of you libs and you suck it up like a good Hoover. When are you going to start using your heads for something other than a hat rack? Saying that you voted against something that you were never even allowed to vote on before soming into office is ten times worse that "I voted for it before I voted against it" John Kerry.

Its easy to say you made the right decision when you didn't make any decision at all....

Obama seems to avoid decisions so he can "recast" his vote later..
