Obama No Pledge, Who is HE Really For?

Obama No Pledge, Who is HE Really For?
by The Watchman Dana G Smith
Excerpt of John McCain on the ”Pledge of Allegience”

“I believe U.S. foreign policy is designed to confuse the American people and national leaders who are unaware of the Spiritual Hierarchy”s plan to ”establish an enlightened democracy among the nations of the world.”” Dr. Stanley Monteith, Radio Liberty letter, December 2005 [1] http://www.radioliberty.com/nlfeb06.html Ordo ab Chao — in other words, the New World Order

Obama no pledge

In this piece on Obama and the allegience, I put the article in that said he refused to say the allegiance! The trouble is, no one can really verify what happened or whether he did or did not. You make the decision. But there is a mystery surrounding this man. Then of course there is McCain! Who would you vote for?

The article and picture in question on Obama!
Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.
Barack Hussein Obama”s photo (that”s his real name)…..the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE…..how can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief

In the above photo, we see different Democratic candidates who ran for the nomination of the Democratic party. All have their hands on their hearts, and are saying the pledge of allegience. All except Obama that is. Doesn”t this make you think for a moment? The next question is, did Obama really do that? I guess if he is elected we will know for sure whether he will honor the flag, the country, and the anthem.

Today with sweeping fervor, the Obama camp has won. No doubt that many have watched the people fall headlong over a new comer to the scene. One that has no experience, but one that speaks well, and can talk to a crowd. People in America want change. They vote for Obama, some do, because they see in him change. But are we wanting change just for change sake?

Is this really a guy that not only refuses to say the Pledge of allegience to the flag, put his hand over his heart, and does he really refuse to wear an american flag lapel pin. His roots go back to his Islamic heritage and even though he claims to be a christian, those religious roots go back to solid black outspoken churches. We have all heard the verbage of those in Obama”s church, except now, Obama has resigned. Thats okay. But the truth is, we do not really know what he will bring with him and what change he will want to do.

No doubt the public is expecting real change with Obama. They might just get it. That is change which is not what they want or expected. This is a guy who is left of Hillery, and believe me, Hill is a left leaning liberal. Not that I am a Republican, which I am not, nor am I Democrate, Libertarian, or some other ect party. The trouble is, who are really going to vote for? Again, for the umteenth time, we really have no choice to fill the office of President.

A judgment to any nation that rebels against God, is one of inexperience rulers, called ”children” and ”babes” in this scripture. We have many who simply have run our nation aground with debt, war, high prices, immorality, and much more.

Isaiah 3:4  And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Proverbs 29:2  ¶When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn

I have included an excerpt from John McCain on the ”Pledge of Allegience”. I do not endorse John, nor do I say we must swear any allegience but to the LORD. We have trouble with this allegience flap and Obama. Does this man who might be President, one who is sworn in on the bible, and would swears to God to uphold our constitution and the rights of the people really not honor the flag nor say the allegience? The America today, is not the America of our childhood, at least mine anyway. We are a filthy, pagan, idol worshipping group of self seeking money grubbing individuals. We are good at religious things, religion, and going to church. We are good at many things, but today, we are pagans, and have churches that are harlots. Now, we are trying to elect leaders that are bringing in a “new global America”, one that is of the elitists ideals.



”The Pledge of Allegiance” – by Senator John McCain

”As you may know, I spent five and one half years as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. In the early years of our imprisonment, the NVA kept us in solitary confinement or two or three to a cell. In 1971 the NVA moved us from these conditions of isolation into large rooms with as many as 30 to 40 men to a room.

This was, as you can imagine, a wonderful change and was a direct result of the efforts of millions of Americans on behalf of a few hundred POWs 10,000 miles from home.

One of the men who moved into my room was a young man named Mike Christian.
Mike came from a small town near Selma , Alabama . He didn”t wear a pair of shoes until he was 13 years old. At 17, he enlisted in the US Navy. He later earned a commission by going to Officer Training School Then he became a Naval Flight Officer and was shot down and captured in 1967. Mike had a keen and deep appreciation of the opportunities this country and our military provide for people who want to work and want to succeed.

As part of the change in treatment, the Vietnamese allowed some prisoners to receive packages from home. In some of these packages were handkerchiefs, scarves and other items of clothing.

Mike got himself a bamboo needle. Over a period of a couple of months, he created an American flag and sewed on the inside of his shirt.

Every afternoon, before we had a bowl of soup, we would hang Mike”s shirt on the wall of the cell and say the Pledge of Allegiance.

I know the Pledge of Allegiance may not seem the most important part of our day now, but I can assure you that in that stark cell it was indeed the most important and meaningful event.

One day the Vietnamese searched our cell, as they did periodically, and discovered Mike”s shirt with the flag sewn inside, and removed it.

That evening they returned, opened the door of the cell, and for the benefit of all of us, beat Mike Christian severely for the next couple of hours. Then, they opened the door of the cell and threw him in. We cleaned him up as well as we could.

The cell in which we lived had a concrete slab in the middle on which we slept Four naked light bulbs hung in each corner of the room.

As I said, we tried to clean up Mike as well as we could. After the excitement died down, I looked in the corner of the room, and sitting there beneath that dim light bulb with a piece of red cloth, another shirt and his bamboo needle, was my friend, Mike Christian. He was sitting there with his eyes almost shut from the beating he had received, making another American flag. He was not making the flag because it made Mike Christian feel better. He was making that flag because he knew how important it was to us to be able to Pledge our allegiance to our flag and country.

So the next time you say the Pledge of Allegiance, you must never forget the sacrifice and courage that thousands of Americans have made to build our nation and promote freedom around the world. You must remember our duty, our honor, and our country.”

”I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God,indivisable, with liberty and justice for all.”

McCain’s Visit to Israel

jerusalem

Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who arrived in Israel Tuesday along with Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on a foreign policy fact-finding mission, said Iran is a threat not only for Israel and the Middle East but also for the rest of the world.

Speaking about Iran’s proxies in the region, Hamas and Hezbollah, McCain said, “If Hamas/Hizbullah succeeds here, they are going to succeed everywhere, not only in the Middle East, but everywhere…They are dedicated to the extinction of everything that the US, Israel and the West believe and stand for. So America does have an interest in what happens here, far above and beyond our alliance with the State of Israel.” [1]

McCain made the comments during a meeting Tuesday (March 18) with Israeli President Shimon Peres. He also expressed his concern over Iran’s military activities, including its nuclear program.

“At the end of the day, we can still not afford to have Iran with nuclear weapons,” McCain said. “We know they have ambitions that are not just aimed at the State of Israel. Iran is funding, training, and aiding extremist groups…My concern over this issue has increased following my current tour of the Middle East.” [2]

Not only are the Iranians “obviously pursuing nuclear weapons,” McCain said, they are also arming and training extremists to send into Iraq, supporting Hezbollah and influencing Syria. [3]

McCain, Graham and Lieberman also toured the Israeli town of Sderot today (March 19) together with Israeli Minister of Defense Ehud Barak. The tour included a visit to Sderot’s police station where they saw some of the thousands of rockets that have been fired into the town and the surrounding region.

During a press conference there, McCain said, “No nation in the world can have its population attacked and not respond. Every nation has the right to respond. The peace process must move forward, but one has to respond to attacks.” [4]

Said Lieberman, “The U.S. and Israel are tied together by common values.” He also said spoke of the courage shown by Sderot residents even as they were under attack. “This kind of spirit links the U.S. and Israel together and ultimately we will prevail over the terrorists.” [5]

Sderot, in the southern Negev region, has been bombarded by Palestinian rocket fire during the past seven years, and 15 percent of the population has left as a result. [6] Iran-backed terrorists in Gaza have fired more than 4,500 rockets and mortars at the town since Israel evacuated the area in Aug. 2005 and turned control of Gaza over to the Palestinian Authority in hopes of paving the way for an independent Palestinian state.

During the last two-and-a-half months alone, Gaza-based terrorists have launched more than 1,000 rockets and mortars at Sderot, [7] including Grad-type Katyusha rockets supplied by Iran. [8]

McCain also expressed skepticism over calls for Israel to enter into negotiations with Hamas, saying, “Someone is going to have to answer me the question of how you are going to negotiate with an organization that is dedicated to your extinction.” [9]

Israel is also playing host this week to three other international leaders. On Saturday (March 22), Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to visit Israel as part of a tour of allied countries in the Middle East. During his trip, Cheney is to focus on improving diplomatic relations, addressing extremist threats and global energy prices [10] as well as hold separate meetings with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. [11]

This past Sunday (March 16) German Chancellor Angel Merkel paid an historic, three-day visit to Israel to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. [12] Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is scheduled to arrive in Israel tomorrow (March 20). [13]
