Politics and Scandalmongering

Thank God there is only one more day before this election is finally over with. I am truly and completely sick to death of these malicious, hateful, scandalmongering emails. (email in it's entirety below) Any intelligent person would take the time to do a bit of research. That person would find that EVERY SINGLE EMAIL that has swamped the internet in the last 2 years with the intent of character-assassination of Obama is out-and-out lies. I've NEVER been the least bit interested in being involved in politics. But thanks to these hate emails in reference to Obama I've read - researched - read and re-researched more on these two candidates and Sara Palin than I've researched anything else in my life. My conclusion? I don't know who Fifi in this email is, but she is obviously one of those who receives an email and because it came through the world wide web it MUST be true and passes it on and on and on...... STOP IT!!! I have discovered that both McCain and Obama are GOOD men. Both would make a good president, though let's not forget anything that may become a law must go through the House and Senate before it gets to the president. But where Obama has told his campaign people that there will be no "fighting dirty" and my inbox has not been inundated with McCain hate-mail..... McCain also told his people the same, and yet I get at least 5 of these evil-intentioned defamatory emails about Obama in just one of my inboxes every day. Now if whoever Fifi is wants to be "terrified"...... maybe she should read all the facts printed about Sara Palin, who is "one heartbeat" from the presidency if McCain is elected. Sure she's cute. Wow! She's a mom! Go find the facts. Don't be a mindless fool who let's an email full of bullshit terrify you. And don't send any more to me, I'm NOT voting for Obama and I'm NOT voting for McCain...... I'm voting for OPRAH!!!!!! ________________________________

I am now terrified as it intriguingly pastes all the pieces together for a true understanding of the man. > > Fifi > > > This is a remarkably interesting thumbnail analysis of a man who has repeatedly reminded me of - in the context of the adoring media and enraptured public - that Jones fellow who led his flock on a Kool Aid mass suicide orgy. I personally believe that Sina's analysis hits the mark dead center, with absolutely deadly implications for the United States, its friends and allies and the financial status of the world. You may remember that Hoover raised the taxes in 1929/30 for people with more than a $100k income from 25% to 55% and what that helped to do to the US (and global) economies. Add in the sociopathic, ethical vacuum that seems to be more apparent with this man (as compared to the figures in Sina's analysis), together with the irresponsible and arguably irrational trend in Democratic Party politics and leadership, and one needs to be very alarmed. > > Desperately hoping for a McCain/Palin win... > > Tom Childs > > > Understanding Obama: By Ali Sina > > I must confess, I was impressed by Sen. Barack Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident, a wholesome presidential package. I was put off soon because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama's speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never has a politician in this land had such a quasi religious impact on so many people. > > The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishment makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius and in his own words, not a messiah. Because of his lack of experience, he is In fact quite ignorant on most important subjects. According to Dr. Sam Vaknin, Barack Obama is a narcissist. > > Dr. Sam Vaknin is the author of Malignant Self Love, and believes Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist. Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism. He understands it and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person. When he talks about narcissism everyone listens. Vaknin says that Obama's language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, nearest and dearest friends suggest that the Senator is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). > > Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People's Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist. Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Joe Stalin, Saddam, Mao Zedong, Kim Jong IL, and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time. > > All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers and followers. They created a personality cult around themselves, and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirer's souls, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life. Those men gave their followers hope! They promised them the moon, but alas, they invariably brought them to their doom. > > When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don't know it until it is too late. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse. Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations, says Vaknin. Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old). Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. His mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia, a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a stepfather. > > He was raised as an only child, full of himself and no others. He never had to share the spotlight with any siblings. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. She died of cancer in 1995. > > One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service. The narcissist shapes the world around him and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality; his admirers become his co-dependents. > > Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objectives. They are focused on one thing alone, and that is power. All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and does not deserve their attention. If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it. > > The Present vote is a safe vote; he used the Present all the time as a member of the Illinois legislature. No one can criticize him if things go wrong. Why should he implicate himself in issues that may become controversial when they don't help him personally? Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are not about him. Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and an advance to write a book about race relations. > > The University of Chicago Law School provided him with a fellowship and an office to work on his book. The book took him a lot longer than expected and at the end it devolved into, guess what? His own autobiography! > > Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book Dreams from My Father. Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist, no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself? > > Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obama's lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who has raised a half billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? His brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. > > A narcissist cares for no one but himself.. This election is like no other election in the history of America. The issues are insignificant compared to what is at stake. What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of a conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world? > > I hate to sound alarmist, but one must be a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others. They are simply self-serving and selfish. [Witness Al Gore's Income Tax; it reveals that he gave away NO MONEY to charities, not even to a church!] Obama evinces symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton, for example. To him reality and fantasy are intertwined. This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw. > > Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent. It is this disguise that makes them treacherous. [Look up the word treachery.] Today, the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama. But this man could put an end to their party [and to this great nation]. The great majority of blacks have also decided to vote for Obama. Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven. Let us call a spade a spade [No pun intended]. This is racism, pure and simple. > > The truth is that, while everyone carries a misconceived collective guilt towards blacks for wrongs done centuries ago by a bygone people to a bygone people, the blacks carry a collective rancor, enmity or vendetta towards non-blacks, and to this day want to stand up to the white man. They seem to be stuck in 19th century [encouraged by race baiters like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and others]. > > The downside of this is, that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper into the sand and blame Obama's detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites. The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support. > > I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels not seen since the turbulent 1960s. Obama will set the clock back decades. America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Maoist Castroists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists, and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House. America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president. > "If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under" - Ronald Reagan > >
