Subject: Obama Crash Course - An Open Letter: info all should know. Whatever
your views, I hope you will watch the following and think. Please pass this
on.
Hi all!
I am re-sending this because I had to re-do it several times to get the
video links to work.
I feel it is very important that people truly understand the candidates
before voting. Yes, I am strong McCain supporter. I am not sending this to
you to say you should vote for him because I am. I was a life-long Democrat
until 9/11, and would still vote for the Democrat candidate if I felt that
he/she were the better person. Since 9/11, I have spent countless hours
researching events to inform myself. That horrible day seared me and woke me
up and remains vivid and fresh in my memory. I still grieve for those
precious, terrified people and their families and friends who had them torn
away that day. I needed to UNDERSTAND. I never have my TV on anymore.
After 9/11, I quickly came to realize that the media is all biased and is
not presenting the facts. I now search sources on the Internet from all
over the world to filter it to find the facts. I read books. I want to
KNOW what is real and what is going on. What I have posted here are some of
the best sources of information I have found in my research on Obama as well
as our terrorist threat. Obama is handsome, charming and a very charismatic
speaker, but most people, even his staunchest supporters, truly know very
little about him beyond media hype. I am not trying to anger you who truly
love and admire him, I just ask you to clear your minds and to take the time
to look at the following. You may still support him as strongly as you did
before starting, but you will at least understand why so many of us on the
McCain side feel as we do. You may just delete this and not watch the
following. You may feel anger at me for daring to send this and write me
off of your friend list. I risk that, because I love our country, I love
you and I want us all to be safe in these dangerous times.
Emotions are high on both sides, our passions have been awakened. We all
love our country and want it to be safe and have the things that are "wrong"
fixed. The only real differences between us are that we have different
ideas of how to go about this.
The reason I have spent MANY hours compiling the following is that truly
very little is known about Obama by most people, unlike the other
candidates, including Hillary, who is an open book. Obama remains vague. I
have researched and searched the Internet to find what I consider to be the
most interesting and concise presentation of the facts. Please question all
that you see, investigate further to seek the truth to satisfy yourself
before you cast your vote. After watching these videos you will have a
deeper understanding of the man, Obama. If you are still convinced that he
is the right man to be our President, then vote your conscience and feel
good about it, and you will be doing so with more information and facts at
your disposal than you had prior to watching. I am not trying to convince
you to change your viewpoint, just ask that you have an open mind, cleared
of passion and emotion and process the information, then decide. I wish the
media would do this, but they clutter it all up, bombard us with pundits and
editorials, slant it their way. They manipulate us all, and I for one won't
tolerate being manipulated.

Terrorism:
Here are some great short films about the real threats we are facing from
Islamization.
The first is the 16 minute film 'Fitna" by the Dutch Member of Parliament,
Geert Wilders, warning us about the threat we face, and what is happening in
Holland. He made this film in April 2008, knowing he would need life-long
protection against assassination for making it, and has since had a death
fatwa proclaimed against him by al Qaeda. No TV stations or theaters would
air it, nor would YouTube, out of fear of the reactions from radical
islamists.

Here are some interviews with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the author of of the book
Infidel. She's a muslim Somali woman who underwent genital mutilation as a
child, who fled an arranged marriage to Holland, who went to the university
there and became a member of Parliament. She made the film 'Submission'
with Theo VanGogh, which expressed the plight of women under Islam and for
which VanGogh was brutally murdered for "insulting" Islam. She now lives
under 24 hour protection, (having had a death fatwa proclaimed against her
by Bin Laden for "insulting Islam" and for being an "Apostate"- someone who
has left the Islamic faith- for which the sentence in the QURAN=death), but
she continues to speak out, to warn the world.
