Wake Up the White Folk

July 7, 2008

Wake up the white folk. The black folk are on the move! The train

is coming through to free everybody. Get onboard!

And, while so many folk are down for the celebration

of the possibility of new hope and change that is invested

in Barack Obama's candidacy, he is openly celebrating

America's downfall, and not his own. His personal and academicbackgrounds allude to the fact that he may not even be a friend to

this nation and its Godly societal ideals.

Ever since it became legal for blacks to vote, the party of

Lincoln has not advocated specifically for only whites to

participate in the voting process, as they have been erroneously

accused of doing. And, if the Republican Party had tried that in this

time, then we know how hard Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. AlSharpton, and everybody who comes in the name of black

leadership would have called for all of them to resign, if that were

possible. And, after having succeeded, they would have further

called for the Republicans to apologize on their way out. And,

then, as they were leaving Washington, D.C., as only the


2/10

Republicans would have done, then all of those same

black leaders would have led the charge to accuse them of being

racists, bigots, anti-immigrant, homophobes, haters, liars, anti-

American, and traitors worthy of impeachment and hanging.

Nevertheless, the onus remains with the now Democratic

presumptive nominee, Barack Obama, to prove that he is

trustworthy and competent to assume, in 2009, over the

Republican presumptive nominee, John McCain, the leadership

which is inherent in the office of the President of the United States.

Now that I have your attention, let me impress upon you that this is

exactly how bold every citizen must respond who loves God andAmerica. We may call this present wartime dilemma a culture war

instead of a religious war, but it still remains the war of all wars in

our time for it goes to the heart, mind, body, soul and spirit of

America both at home and abroad. Moreover, how it is to be

fought and won depends upon whether or not Americans will

recognize the urgency of engaging this battle and their

understanding about how much the outcome depends on

how they respond to it, both personally and collectively.

People of every race and hue are finding out daily that Obama is

not the promised Messiah his campaign and mesmerized followers

have tried to make him out to be. They may point to his

charismatic speechifying, magnetic draw of the masses, made-over

wife, and overflowing coffers, but, along the way, he is leaving a

wide trail of indecision behind him among so many citizens who

seek to know what is up ahead for them, as they move closer to the

November 2008 general election.

We must keep in mind the seriousness of this political process and

how, lest we forget, it must not be viewed as merely

some hypothetical game or a test of wills of opponents and their

surrogates, as some may suppose. This all-important right is a


3/10

matter of life and death for too many people; and, therefore, it is

imperative that it continues to be guarded against becoming flawed

in any way by anyone. It demands from Americans that they

choose the very best defender of our constitutional rights and that

it is, of necessity, incumbent upon them to find that person to betrustworthy, willing, and competent to keep this sovereign nation

strong, free, and proud.

Nobody, whether they serve on the local, state, or national level,

who has ever demonstrated the proclivities toward any myopic,

closed-minded, skewered view of America, has any business sitting

in any seat of authority anywhere in this nation. For, how could

they ever instill patriotism, pride, and love of God and freedom incitizens for a nation they, themselves, abhor? It is impossible for

them to do so. Therefore, they must not be elected. And,

furthermore, if they are already in office, they must be decisively

voted out.

For, when we speak up and demand excellence in our

leadership, then we shall have it. And this generation and future

generations would expect it beyond race, color, or gender. And ournation's creed would remain unconfused and be without question

or apology, Judeo-Christian, for our faith informs us and our

security in whom we believe enables us to walk beside other faiths

without wearing on our persons, bombs.

In 2004, Barack Obama stood before the Democratic National

Convention (DNC) and announced to all the world, both inside and

outside of that hall, what he proclaimed with great enthusiasm, as

follows, "There is no black America. There is no white America.There is no Asian America. There is only the United States of

America!"

And the people who heard that proclamation swelled up with pride

and showed their agreement by their own enthusiastic applause.


4/10

But, that was then and this is now.

That was before 2007, when Obama announced his candidacy to

become the first black President of this nation and before he hadcome so close to becoming the 2008 Democratic presumptive

nominee. Underlying all of what has been touted to be his grand,

intellectual face to the world, is a definite purpose around his

candidacy so sinister that only a sudden jolt will shake loose all his

misguided followers from their stupor.

If the American people believe Obama is a man of his word, then

what is it about him that makes him advocate for the destruction ofAmerican values, traditions, and societal mores while professing to

be Christian? And, why have Americans not boldly called for him

to give an account for his duplicitous nature in his obvious attempt

to negate his Muslim roots and split this nation along racial,

religious, and color lines, and for him to work towards severing all

connections to the United States Constitution as a free Republic

despite his protestation and documentation to the contrary?

Could it be that the American people do not know? Could it mean

that Americans are no longer willing to learn all they can about his

liberal, left-leaning ideologies which would deliver us into the

hands of terrorist nations and, thereby, possibly lead to the

destruction of America's greatness? But, only if we stand aside and

let it happen.

However it may be perceived will depend upon whose point of

view is openly and honestly broadcast throughout this nation andthe world. For, there decidedly appears to be a brain drain and

common sense is clearly no longer thought to be an integral part of

the rubric for American life. But for those who express that view,

let me quickly add that not everybody is asleep at the switch.

How could a man whose documented autobiographical past

survives to remind us that, notwithstanding his youthful dalliances,

he continues to this day to be intricately intertwined in the same

machinations of the civil rights era which advocated black power,

black nationalism, and black Muslim states within the UnitedStates and white people would have no say whatsoever over

anything pertaining to blacks.

The philosophical rule of this nation would fast become steeped in

Marxist, Socialist, Communist, Muslim, and Islamic ideologies.

And as such, there would only be mandated either weakened

churches or no God whatsoever.

Take a look around and note how many Muslim and

Islamic organizations are being put in place right now as if they are

in a holding pattern waiting for January 2009, and the day they

believe Obama will be administered the oath of office. And they

can count on him to change this government as they wait to hear

him say one more time, "Yes we can!"

Obama's past and present friendships have run contrary to thefruitful efforts achieved by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

Fannie Lou Hamer, former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood

Marshall, and many more who joined them to bring about

reconciliation and healing of the racial divide in this

nation. Yet, Obama's record stands for the entire world to see the

dangers we would face by entertaining even the thought of electing

him as the first black male President.

Obama wants Americans to believe he has enough foreignexperience based on the fact that he was born in Hawaii, the son

of a Muslim Kenya, African, father and white mother from Kansas;

subsequently lived with his mother and Indonesian Muslim

stepfather in that country and was educated within the Muslim

faith when he was six to ten, at which time his mother sent him


6/10

back to Hawaii to live with her parents. Travel as a child does not

count towards having Foreign Service experience in America for

purposes of high-level, international discourse with a variety of

leaders.

But, where he has a memory lapse, also, is about what was he

doing for three weeks in 1981, when he visited Pakistan? His

mother lived there for a time during his childhood. And, if he was

visiting her, why wouldn't he say so? Has he also forgotten that, in

1981, he lived, however briefly, with a Pakistani roommate when

he attended Columbia, University, in New York? And does Obama

remember why he visited the Middle East? Somehow, he came up

with a sudden memory lapse and cannot provide answers to thosequestions.

However, as recently as the 2007 Election in Kenya,

Africa, between their current President Kbaki and Obama's

cousin, Odinga, Obama personally interfered as a United States

Senator to impact that foreign political matter by speaking on

Odinga's behalf and by contributing a large monetary sum towards

Odinga's candidacy. Obama had been joined in Kenya by DickMorris and his wife, who had said they were there as pro bono

consultants to ensure Odinga's success as a candidate. They failed

in the attempt and violence broke out in that nation, because Kbaki

retained his Presidency. Morris was run out of the country, but not

before he had also contributed a large sum of money towards

Odinga's candidacy. When has any ethical person ever helped a

client pro bono and then turned around and given money to them?

Despite Morris' widely disseminated videotaped appearance at aKenyan press conference where he stated his purpose of being in

the country was to help Odinga, and further, despite the public

circulation of a photograph showing Obama and Odinga together

at that time, nevertheless, Obama's presidential campaign has

labeled as attacks and smears anybody who has produced evidence


7/10

to substantiate their allegations about the relationship and funds

they left in Africa to support Odinga.

Who is to be believed? Can we not trust our own eyes? More

importantly, can we not trust Obama to give us a straight accountabout why he continues to solicit foreign funds for his political

campaign in America?

Obama has defined himself by the company he keeps. And, this

brings us to some of the foremost noted figures in Obama's past,

present, and future who have remained on track with meeting their

objectives to accomplish their goal of putting a black man in the

White House who would foster their long-time black agenda,including legislating reparations, acceptance of the black Muslim

programs, with the final blow to democracy being the institution of

the Islamic rule of Sharia Law, because neither Muslims nor

Islamists regard themselves as being under the authority of the

Constitution of the United States even while they reside among us.

Obama, along with his wife, Michelle, have had more than enough

experience combined with rallying the troops and fundraising juston the basis of their background as professional community

organizers and attorneys to help ensure their victory in this

election.

Both served as co-founders of the Public Allies Corporation in

Chicago, Illinois, and Obama was a Board member until his wife

became executive director in 1993. The website states that it is an

"American nonprofit dedicated to youth leadership development,

founded in 1992 by Vanessa Kirsch and Katrina Browne inWashington, DC." The introduction goes on to state their core

values are "collaboration, continuous learning, diversity/inclusion,

focus on assets, and integrity." And they have apprenticeships to

join other nonprofits to work together in groups of "6-12 people."

Their having ready-made access to network with such vast

community organizations such as this with locations in key

political states around this nation, gives them an advantage heads

and shoulders above John McCain and the rest where they would,

themselves, have no need to ask for the services of the so-called 527 lobbyist corporations to rally volunteers or

solicit election contributions on their behalf. What's more, all

such organizations could still work on their behalf and, yet, remain

apart from their campaign reporting, which is compiled by the

Federal Election Commission, which also has oversight of federal

election campaigns.

During Obama's primary campaign, Minister Louis Farrakhanendorsed his candidacy on behalf of the Nation of Islam, which he

heads. As a result, Obama hurriedly renounced that endorsement

just as he had earlier renounced and denounced Reverend Dr.

Jeremiah Wright, Jr., his former pastor, of the Trinity United

Church of Christ. Furthermore, when the New Black Panther

organization endorsed Barack Obama's candidacy, they were,

likewise, told by the Obama campaign that they would not accept

their endorsement. And, with that, their ad was removed from theObama website. However, they have vowed to remain supportive

of the Obama bid for President. Those organizations are located in

Chicago, Illinois, where Obama has lived and worked for over the

past 20 years.

Minister Farrakhan sounded a clear clarion call for the black man,

when he wrote to influence the black Muslims and their advocates

to "evolve from the limited vision of the founding fathers and

repudiate that vision...or say that the darker people will never berespected as equals inside of this nation." [He was speaking in

America about America].

Farrakhan is a longtime friend of Obama and he also said,

"America lies on her deathbed, is in dire need of guidance and a

new direction. America is steadily on the decline. Her economy is

faltering, her public schools are failing, maintaining the health of

American people has proven too costly, crime is rampant, her sense

of morality seems to have been lost and in general the whole future

of the country has become a big question." quoted:A Torchlightfor America, by Min. Louis Farrakhan. 1993.

There is no way that anybody can convince me that all those who

advocate for separation of the races and creation of a black nation

can for so long withhold their cooperation while they leach off this

nation and then blame America for their vile situation. (Speaking

to the brothers). Hear me!

There is no way I can be persuaded that anybody, regardless of

their race, creed, and gender can come on these shores and bring

their problems with them, and, yet, hold this nation solely

responsible.

Although, many in black leadership have stepped up and claimed

to have the solution, unfortunately, too many have also kept this

nation bound to the raceproblem

and it has been made into acottage industry -- lucrative for everybody but the people who

stand in line waiting for aid in America. So, if the black leaders

have solutions who get their grants and budgets assuredly from this

federal government, now is the time.

For, if you know the solutions but respond only with the problems,

then it is you who are in the wrong and not America! And we are

fed up with shuckers and jivers and schemers and connivers. We

do not have to accept everything and anything that comes down thepike. We demand your best, because America deserves no less.

Obama's campaign offices are headquartered in Chicago and he

recently moved the entire Democratic National Committee

Headquarters (DNC) into his offices there, with the blessings from


10/10

the current head of the DNC, Howard Dean. And, just think, he

isn't even President, yet. But already he is running ahead of

himself, even going so far as to create a brand new Presidential

Seal for himself.

Somebody needs to remind him that this nation has only one

President at the time, and his name is George W. Bush. Didn't he

hear him tell the nation that he was not going to be a lame duck

President? And, where is Congress in all of this outrageously

unethical and unprofessional show before the whole world? We

can do better! And we must!

Obama and his wife and aides no doubt hope to get away withwhat I see as them trying to dupe Americans. And they will get

away with it, unless Americans of every hue - and especially white

-wake up and all say, together, with one loud voice, "No way! Not

in America the land that we love!"

And, unless that is done, then Americans can keep goingalong with Obama's not-so-hidden agenda filled

with deception and destruction only to rue the day that theyrefused to hear or speak out against him and his plans tochange America but without their consent.
