 – and an apostate, when, as an adult, he embraced the Rev Jeremiah Wright’s kind of Christianity. By Islamic law this makes him deserving of a death sentence.

His Muslim background apparently embarrasses him now. So do many other facts about his past which he has tried to conceal.  

His popularity is an outbreak of the madness of crowds.  Melanie Phillips calls it ‘Princess Obama Derangement Syndrome’ (on the model of the madness that gripped Britain when Princess Diana died). 

Read what she has to say about all this here.  

Read about his hypocrisy, and how he fumbled to explain it, here.

 Read here about the disgusting United Nations signing a treaty with an organization on its own terrorist list.

 A pro-Stalin Communist is a strong influence on him in his formative years. Later he writes about this appreciatively. In his adulthood he associates with extreme-left radicals and unrepentant terrorists.  

The mainstream media do not consider these facts to have any significance.  

Read about it here.   

 Read Thomas Sowell on this theme here.

Judging by the letter which Sowell quotes, and statements that the presidential candidate has made in his speeches, one gathers that Obama thinks soldiers should never have to come up against any unpleasantness like fighting and killing and being shot at. If they do, they should have instant access to that left-wing panacea, ‘counseling’. 

We have commented earlier on his statement that an uncle of his was among the troops who liberated Auschwitz. Apparently he meant some other death camp. But in any case it wasn’t what happened in it that he was concerned about. He seemed to think what was really bad about the Nazi concentration camps was that American soldiers, after suffering the trauma of seeing what went on in them, never got counseling to deal with such a shock. 

(By the way, I have known counsellors who received just two days of training – one weekend – before being sicked upon some hapless ‘clients’.)   

The US military under a Commander-in-Chief of the Obama stamp would probably be reduced to a social service abroad, distributing goodie-bags to the Third World and entertaining our enemies. Troupes rather than troops.    

In Canada, free speech is less important than the sensitivities of Muslims, those sensitive souls who believe that beating wives, killing gays, forcing very young girls into marriage and murdering them if they rebel, cutting off the hands and feet of petty criminals, and waging jihad against all non-Muslims, is justice. 

No one accused by the Canadian Inquisition has ever been acquitted. 

Mark Steyn is one of its latest victims.

Has there ever been a candidate for the presidency as unqualified to be elected as Barack Obama? 

Since he is so completely unqualified, one is compelled to ask: ‘Why do so many people want him to be President?’ 

Is it because he is black? 

I have a suspicion that for many people this is true.  

In which case, they are plainly racist.

Do many Americans feel (one cannot say ‘think’) that if they vote for a black man to be President it will somehow prove to themselves that they are good people? Is their need to feel that they are good people a strong motivation in their political choices?

I have a suspicion that this too is true.

In which case, they are full of moral vanity and not good people at all.  

If their votes  do give Obama power, all the chickens of the Left will come home to roost: blame-America-first, affirmative action, political correctness, Leftism trumps any other political consideration …

They will pay a terrible price for their foolishness, but so will the rest of us in America and everywhere else on earth.      

Read here why Melanie Phillips thinks so.

We entirely agree with her.

 Why are so many Americans unable to see the extreme danger that an Obama presidency poses for America and the world?  

‘Are they nuts?’ asks Melanie Phillips.

Read here her discussion of  Obama’s saying that Jerusalem ‘must remain Israel’s undivided capital’ – because he is talking to a Jewish audience – and his next day denial that he meant it.
