Hannity's America - Obama & Friends - History Of Radicalism Part 1
Wow, I'm speechless. CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked Joe Biden and Sarah Palin some "Vice Presidential Questions." This installment tackles Roe v. Wade and Supreme Court decisions. If you think this woman should be allowed anywhere near the White House you need to get help. ==On Roe== "Immediately after saying what a terrible decision Roe was, Palin got a follow-up question from Couric about whether she believes there's a constitutional 'right to privacy'. "And Palin said, yes. "Now, narrowly speaking, you can believe in a constitutional right to privacy and also oppose Roe. But the right to privacy, as Couric says in the interview, is one of the cornerstones of Roe. And in the public debate yes or no on the right to privacy is something pretty close to a proxy for your position on abortion rights." The bottom line is that among conservatives opposition to a constitutional 'right to privacy' is a straight-up litmus test issue. Palin not only didn't have the right answer on the right to privacy. It was pretty clear she'd never even heard of it before." From: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/221281.php ==On other decisions== Couric: "What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?" Palin: "Of course, in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and...there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of ... America... there would be others" Couric: "Can you think of any?" Palin: "Well, I would think of any, again, that could best be dealt with on a more local level [that] maybe I would take issue with, but...you know, as a mayor, and then as a governor, and even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, [I] wouldn't be in a position of changing those things, but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today." This video is the latest in my series "Sarah Palin is a moron". See the series: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=ADC49FBCFA913851 For rational thought on issues: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/
CBS News, 10/1/08 Couric Why, in your view, is Roe v. Wade a bad decision? Sarah Palin: I think it should be a states issue not a federal government-mandated, mandating yes or no on such an important issue. I'm, in that sense, a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas. Now, foundationally, also, though, it's no secret that I'm pro-life that I believe in a culture of life is very important for this country. Personally that's what I would like to see, um, further embraced by America. Couric: Do you think there's an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution? Palin: I do. Yeah, I do. Couric: The cornerstone of Roe v. Wade. Palin: I do. And I believe that individual states can best handle what the people within the different constituencies in the 50 states would like to see their will ushered in an issue like that. Couric: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with? Palin: Well, let's see. There's, of course in the great history of America there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but Couric: Can you think of any? Palin: Well, I could think of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But, you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.
Katie Couric on Sarah Palin "CBS Evening News" 6:43pm Interview TOPIC: Abortion and separation of church and state TRANSCRIPT: KATIE COURIC: Why, in your view, is Roe v. Wade a bad decision? SARAH PALIN: I think it should be states issue. Not federal government mandating yes or no on such an important issue. Im, in that sense a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas. Now, foundationally also though, its no seceret that Im pro-life, that I believe that a culture of life is, is very important for this country and personally thats what I would like to see further embraced by, by America. COURIC: Do you think theres an inherent right to privacy in the consitution? PALIN: I do. I do. COURIC: Thats the cornerstone of Roe. v Wade. PALIN: I do and I believe that individual states can best handle what the people within the different constituencies within the fifty states would like to see their will ushered in in an issue like that. COURIC: What other supreme court decisions do you disagree with? PALIN: Hmm. Well, lets see, theres, of course, in the great history of America there have been rulings that theres never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are those issues again, like Roe v. Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. Going through the history of America, there would be others. COURIC: Can you think of any? PALIN: Well, I would think of, of, any again that could best be dealt with on a more local leve. Maybe I would take issue with. But you know, as a mayor and as a governor and even as a vice president . . . I wouldnt be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it lays today. COURIC: Thomas Jefferson wrote about building a wall of separation between church and state. Why do you think thats so important? PALIN: . . . so that government did not mandate a religion on the people . . . people have the ability and the desire to express their own religious views. Be it on a very personal level, which is where I choose to express my faith, or in a more public forum . . . Clip Label: KC SP CBS 10-01-08 18.42 (EW#467) WL
Global collapse is ongoing. It was caused by irrational immorality. This is NOT about religion, it is about the basic morality essential to life.

A comprehensive history of Islam in America. Yasir Qadhi explores the history of Islam and Muslims in the Americas from the beginning to the present day, discussing everything from the pre-Columbus era to theories about early Muslim exploration of the New World, to the Muslim Slave experience, the Nation of Islam, right through to the advent of both early and recent Muslim immigration. Coincidentally, from the same podium where Abraham Lincoln spoke a few hundred years ago, and Barack "Hussein" Obama, two days earlier. Along the way we learn the amusing story about Hajji Ali, also know as Hi Jolly, the Greek-Syrian convert from Constantinople who was hired to come to America and raise camels of all things. Yasir Qadhi gave this speech at IlmFest 2008 in New York hosted by AlMaghrib Institute's Qabeelat Tayyabah. Notes from the lecture: -Until we understand where we came from, we dont understand who we are and how Islam became so prominent in the Americas. -Even during slavery Abu Bakr AsSiddique said that "The faith of our family is the faith of Islam" (1834) -The money that financed Columbus came from the fallen Muslim caliphate of Grenada a few months prior to his setting sail in 1492. -George Washington is quoted as saying that he would "even" have "Muhammadans" (ie: Muslims) come to Mt. Vernon if they are good workmen (citizens). -The well documented slave, Ayyub ibn Sulayman wrote 3 entire Qur'ans from memory which are still present today. He went to England to see the king in the 1730s and when they wanted to paint him in his cultural garments, he said that he would describe them (for he did not have any).. to which the painter replied "how can I draw something I haven't seen"... to which Ayyub ibn Sulayman said:: "How can you then draw pictures of God, Whom no one has seen?" -One slave, Bilani Mohammad was owned by a just slave owner who allowed the slaves to practive Islam freely. -Later, a book of Bilani Mohammad was found--this was a book of fiqh written from memory and changed for the situation of the slaves. -Many of Mohammad's descendants had memories of their great grandfather and other relatives practicing Islam. Among the many points, they said "Aunty Hanna was mighty punctual about prayer" -The Nation of Islam spread a pseudo-Islam in the African American community - but, sometimes bad things lead to good. i.e: Muhammad Ali (who made "Muhammad" a household name), Malcolm X, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar all joined orthodox Islam after first going through the Nation. On Warith Deen Muhammad: You may have your criticisms, and I have mine, but this is a man who took his entire community from blatant shirk to Sunni Islam. -"Hadji Ali, a Greek born in Constantinople and later converted to Islam. His name was too complicated for people to pronounce, so if you wanna look him up you'll have to search under the name "Hi Jolly" He was buried in Quartzsite, Arizona, there's a pyramid with a camel on top of his grave and it is the most popular tourist attraction in Quartzsite, Arizona. The question is, what else can be found in Quartzsite, Arizona?! http://www.ilmcast.com

This tremendous educational documentary from the mid-1970's examines the priceless contributions of African-Americans to musical heritage, so closely tied to their unique history in the United States. From Africa upon slave ships captive immigrants brought with them melodies, cadences and rhythms that inarguably gave rise to music considered 'modern' today. Beginning with the genius Louis Armstrong's triumphant return to Ghana in the late 1950's, we trace the evolution of music from West Africa to the Virginia colonies of the early 1600's. Over the next 400 years, as this distinct root of American culture takes hold, incredible clips of filmed performances by Mahalia Jackson, Josephine Baker, Bessie Smith, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Eldridge, and Duke Ellington illustrate the black experience. Contemporary musicians such as Nina Simone, BB King, Cannonball Adderly (w/ Joe Zawinal - Mercy, Mercy, Mercy), and Sly & the Family Stone, along with a funky-ass filmed number from an as-yet-undocumented-on-the-internet off-Broadway production called "The Me Nobody Knew" punctuate the memory of the past, the spontaneity of the moment and determination for the future.

Martin Luther King day is on January 21st and in his honor I ask you to help win the fight for peace by donating to Ron Paul who is the only republican candidate who is against the war. He wants to pull the troops home from all countries in the world. Brief Overview of Congressman Paul's Record: He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war. He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year. Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Chalmers Johnson for a discussion of his new book, Nemesis. In the interview, Johnson, an Emeritus Professor of the University of California, analyzes the impact of the American empire on democracy at home. Comparing the United States to Rome and Great Britain, he argues that a combination of military Keynesianism, the Bush administration's attempt to implement a unitary presidency, and the failed checks on executive ambition point to political and economic bankruptcy.

In "The Conscience of a Liberal", Paul Krugman, today's most widely read economist, studies the past eighty years of American history, from the reforms that tamed the harsh inequality of the Gilded Age to the unraveling of that achievement and the reemergence of immense economic and political inequality since the 1970s. Seeking to understand both what happened to middle-class America and what it will take to achieve a "new New Deal," Krugman has created a work that weaves together a nuanced account of three generations of history with sharp political, social, and economic analysis. Paul Krugman, who was named Columnist of the Year by Editor and Publisher magazine, writes a twice-weekly column for the op-ed page of the New York Times. He is a professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University, and the author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 professional journal articles. In recognition of his work, he has received the John Bates Clark Medal from the American Economic Association, an award given every two years to the top economist under the age of 40. The Economist said he is "the most celebrated economist of his generation." This Authors@Google event took place December 14, 2007 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

Interview with John Perkins author of "The Hidden History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth about Global Corruption"
Enjoy (before those socialists tell YouTube to delete this file - they don't let me use the things that I am paying for in taxes!!!)! ---------------------------------------- Translation (sorry for possible mistakes): It's going to be not only the longest but also the most original campaign in the history of the United States. Mainly because of the candidates for the White House which have discovered a new way of getting to their electorate. Instead of TV - they post their spots on the Internet. About the effects of the fully multimedia and interactive campaign - Piotr Kraśko. It's not the beginning of a carnival but the longest presidential campaign in the history of the United States and perhaps it is the first time that the Americans will vote one way not the other because of the things they will have found on the Internet. 0:45 In this debate, those who were asking the questions were not the journalists anymore, but the voters through the Internet. "Soon the journalists will not be needed. The voters will ask the candidates about everything themselves, on the Internet." 0:55 It turns out that the Americans have the same doubts about their politicians as the voters in other parts of the world. "During the election everybody promises a lot and when they rise to power they don't realize anything from it because they explain that someone prevents them from doing it. Why should we believe anyone of you that you'd be different?" 1:11 That is the question that the Internauts have considered the most interesting. "How will you explain the fact that 80% of the Californians have elected Arnold Schwarzenneger Governor because they'd believed that he - being a cyborg - would save them from a nuclear extermination?" 1:28 This is exactly how, since 200 years, all the presidential campaigns in America have been looking like. Perhaps this is one of the latest in which rallies like this one actually matter - and every next will take place not on the streets, not on TV - but on the Internet. But for the candidates it may mean a lot of trouble since nothing is more popular on the Internet than videos which humiliate (ridicule) and discredit the candidates. 1:51 The most popular on the Internet is a video in which John Edwards - one of Democratic Party's candidates - for three minutes combs his hair before an interview. The majority of the internauts came to the conclusion that he more likely fits for a model (female model) than a president. 2:04 The most active supporters - on the streets as well as on the Web - has Barack Obama. 2:18 This is a video clip full of adoration for him which has been recorded by one of his admirers. 2:28 This is one of the oddest spots. This candidate has stood motionless for three minutes and merely looked into the camera. It was so weird that it became one of the most willingly watched spots on the Internet. 2:40 Enthusiastic voters will probably always dance on the streets but the influence that these demonstrations will have on the results of the elections is going to be lesser and lesser.
