"The Obama debate every American should see"-"The Judiciary Committee approved the bills with Obama in opposition. On March 31, 2001, they came up on the IL senate floor. Only one member spoke against them: Obama.
"Nobody else said anything," O'Malley recalls. The official transcript validates this.
"Sen. O'Malley," Obama said near the beginning of the discussion, "the testimony during the committee indicated that one of the key concerns was -- is that there was a method of abortion, an induced abortion, where the -- the fetus or child, as -- as some might describe it, is still temporarily alive outside the womb."
Obama made three crucial concessions here: the legislation was about 1) a human being, who was 2) "alive" and 3) "outside the womb."
He also used an odd redundancy: "temporarily alive." Is there another type of human?
"And one of the concerns that came out in the testimony was the fact that they were not being properly cared for during that brief period of time that they were still living," Obama continued.
Here he made another crucial concession: The intention of the legislation was to make sure that 1) a human being, 2) alive and 3) outside the womb was 4) "properly cared for."
"Is that correct?" Obama asked O'Malley.
O'Malley tightened the logical knot. "(T)his bill suggests that appropriate steps be taken to treat that baby as a -- a citizen of the United States and afforded all the rights and protections it deserves under the Constitution of the United States," said O'Malley."-You can find actual Illinois transcripts of this conversation in its entirety at http://www.bornalivetruth.org/.

New ad on Obama's Born Alive Act and PBA Ban opposition-"According to NPR:
A brand-new nonprofit organization with a classic attack-group name is airing TV ads in battleground states knocking Obama on his abortion stance.
The Committee for Truth in Politics, which was incorporated just one week ago in NC, is running the ad in PA and WI [and NC]. Showing images of a cooing, yawning baby, the ad says, "Sen. Obama, why did you vote against protecting infants that survive late-term abortions, not once but four times?" It concludes, "Call Senator Obama. Tell him to stop trying to overturn these basic human rights."
The ad echoes the recent message of Born Alive Truth, an IL 527 organization.
The incorporator and sole director of the Committee for Truth is NC attorney Bill Peaslee, formerly the chief of staff, legal counsel and political director for the NC Republican Party....

Planned Parenthood vs Pregnancy Centers
The War on Crisis Pregnancy Centers-""It was so hard because I don't know how I'm going to tell my mom and I know she's going to be mad, I think that's why I wanted to abort my baby," Samantha said. Click play to hear Pat Robertson's comments following this CBN News report.
But that changed after Samantha visited a pregnancy center in Raleigh, North Carolina - a place she thought performed abortions....LifeCare pregnancy center doesn't provide or refer for abortions. Instead, volunteers here provide free pregnancy tests, sonograms and pre-natal care to hundreds of women in unplanned pregnancies.
"After I found out that they weren't an abortion clinic I just knew that oh they were going to tell me you have to keep this child, you can't abort this child, they'd just push God, God, God." Samantha said. "They weren't like that. They listened to me and they were just open arms and I really appreciate that."
Centers like LifeCare have been around for more than 30 years all across the country.
As part of recent coverage on lowering abortion rates, Time magazine highlighted the role of the pregnancy center.
Time wrote, "That would seem to be evidence that the quiet campaign for women's hearts and minds, conducted in thousands of crisis pregnancy centers around the country, on billboards, phone banks and Web sites is having an effect."
But if abortion rights supporters such as Planned Parenthood and others have their way, centers like LifeCare won't be available for women like Samantha.
For decades abortion providers and supporters have attacked pregnancy centers, seeking to discredit them. It's a battle many in the pro-life movement have come to expect."
Big Media Crisis and Big Textbook Crisis?
Election-Altering Media Bias-"Sure enough, though McCain was edging past Obama as this mess began, Obama has now taken a significant lead, and it's largely because the MSM are promoting the Democratic template that capitalism and corporate, Republican greed caused it, not bleeding-heart, social-planning liberalism. (Isn't it ironic that liberals continue mouthing the absurd argument that the crisis is being caused by federal deficit spending born of Bush tax cuts yet this bailout plan involves enormous increases in the federal deficit?) And if the MSM were scrutinizing and reporting on Obama's truly scandalous record with one-tenth the intensity they are investigating the Palin non-scandals, the American public would be irreversibly horrified at the prospect of an Obama presidency. All of this said, this election is far from over. And the alternative media are doing a valiant job busting MSM myths and countering their denied biases. But it's hard to help those who are disinclined to help themselves. John McCain certainly has plenty of fight left in him. But it's time he finally got a divorce from the adulterous MSM, who just pretended to love him when it suited their ends. It's time he quits giving Dems a pass (especially for this crisis they caused), unleashes Sarah Palin from her constraints, and re-energizes the base to deliver him a victory. Give us some red meat, senator -- please."
The Real Relationship Between Obama and Ayers-"Listening to my local all news radio station this weekend, I heard repeated references to Sarah Palin’s calling attention to Barack Obama’s association with Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground terrorist. And each time, the next sentence would be something about their only connection actually being that they served on some board together many years ago. As though that wrapped it up: end of story. But maybe the question isn’t whether they were or are “palling around.” Maybe the question is what exactly they were doing on that board together....Barack Obama once headed an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Kurtz writes: “As CAC board chair, Obama was essentially authorizing the funding of Ayers’s own educational projects, and the projects of Ayers’s radical allies.”What did those education projects of William Ayers actually consist of? Listen to Kurtz: “Ayers sees his education work as carrying on his radicalism in a new guise. The point of Ayers’s education theory is that the United States is a fundamentally racist and oppressive nation. Students, Ayers believes, ought to be encouraged to resist this oppression. Obama was funding Ayers’s ‘small schools’ projects, built around this philosophy. Ayers’s radicalism isn’t something in the past. It’s something to which Obama gave moral and financial support as an adult.”...Another indicator of Obama’s support for Ayers’s views? Ayers wrote a book about juvenile crime. According to Kurtz, “[T]he book is quite radical, expressing doubts about whether we ought to have a prison system at all, comparing America to South Africa’s apartheid system and contemptuously dismissing the idea of the United States as a kind or just country.” Obama publically endorsed the book. So what’s important about the relationship between Obama and Ayers is not how many times they were in the same room together. It’s about shared goals and a shared philosophy."
Obama's Support for Ayers' Radical Education Ideology-"The relationship between Barack Obama and self-confessed domestic terrorist William Ayers is complicated. Many in the media dismiss it as "guilt by association." But it is much more than that. As Dick Morris explained on Hannity & Colmes last night, newly-released documents show a very close relationship between the two men, and a shared vision of education in America.
Bill Ayers is an educator now, with a radical philosophy. In order to further that philosophy, Ayers got a grant of $50 million. He then helped select Obama to distribute that money. But the money didn't go to schools. It went to "external partners of schools," extremist community groups, whose job, according to Morris "was to infuse students with radical ideology." So Obama, who had control of the money, didn't use it to improve test scores, or improve science and math curricula. In fact, the stated goal of the grant was, as Morris puts it, "to get away from a focus on test scores or student achievement and instead focus on radical ideology."
Watch as Dick Morris explains it. We need to know more about exactly where Obama distributed that money, and what that tells us about Obama's beliefs on how education dollars should be spent.The relationship between Barack Obama and self-confessed domestic terrorist William Ayers is complicated.

48 liberal lies about American history-"In one of his chapters on Ronald Reagan, Schweikart shows a photo of the Reagans dancing at their inaugural. Here's his caption: "Historians always attach a caption to a picture such as this that mentions how wealthy the Reagans' supporters were, or how they ushered in a decade of greed. But all presidents have had grand inaugural balls, and the 1980s witnessed the greatest boom in the nation's economy for all groups in 60 years, thanks to 'Reaganomics.'"
So I took a look through the textbook seventh-graders at a school in my area will be using this year to study American history -- A History of the US: All the People Since 1945, written by Joy Hakim. Sure enough, here's the caption from that textbook under a photo of the Reagans at their inaugural celebration. "Nancy and Ronald Reagan at one of their inauguration parties, held in Washington's Air and Space Museum. A black-tie, mink, and diamond affair, it was the fanciest, most expensive inauguration in American history, costing five times more than Jimmy Carter's inaugural had." Contrast that with the caption under a photo of the Kennedys en route to their inaugural celebration: "President Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, on their way to the inaugural ball. Her glamour nearly stole the show." (For the record, JFK is in white-tie.) And what about the Clintons' inaugural celebrations? Here's how the caption reads under a photo of Bill Clinton playing the saxophone: "Newly elected President Bill Clinton plays his saxophone at one of the Inauguration Night balls. Clinton loves music, especially jazz, and is a strong supporter of music education in public schools." Give me a break. And while such clear bias may be evident when comparing such items side-by-side, as it were, students coming across each captioned picture separately would be left with a different impression. They would have "learned" that the Reagans socialized with rich people and spent way too much money on their inaugural balls, Jackie Kennedy was glamorous, and Bill Clinton supported music in schools!...Lie #9 in Schweikart's book concerns the credit given to Mikhail Gorbachev for ending the Cold War, and the almost non-existent credit given to Reagan. Schweikart quotes from a textbook called Unto a Good Land: "Perhaps more important [than Reagan], under a new, younger leadership, the Kremlin allowed long-dormant forces of change to emerge and drive the USSR toward democracy and a market economy." In that seventh-grade textbook children in my area will be studying this year, there is a chapter called "The End of the Cold War." In the discussion of how communism failed as a political and economic system, the only mention of Ronald Reagan is this sentence – in parantheses no less! "(Trying to keep up with Reagan-era military might have helped do it.)" So how and why exactly did communism end? "When the Russian people had had enough, they just threw communism out."...The textbook tenth-graders will be using in another nearby school is much the same. Glencoe World History, by Jackson J. Spielvogel, is shocking in the credit it gives to Gorbachev for ending communism. Listen to this blatant falsehood: "When Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union, the Cold War suddenly ended. His 'New Thinking' -- his willingness to rethink Soviet foreign policy -- led to stunning changes."...And trust me, those few examples are only the tip of the iceberg. The list goes on and on. So you might want to take a long, hard look through your children's history textbooks and then prepare for a long, hard fight with the Board of Ed."
Errors, inaccuracies, propaganda -- in textbooks-"The Institute for Jewish & Community Research recently released a new book authored by Dr. Gary Tobin and Dennis Ybarra. The book -- titled The Trouble with Textbooks: Distorting History and Religion -- is a culmination of a five-year study of 28 history, geography, and social studies textbooks used in classrooms in all 50 states. Ybarra explains what they found....The author encourages parents to take a greater interest in what is being taught to their children in order to make sure their children are being taught the truth. Adds his co-author, Gary Tobin: "Elected officials at every level should investigate how these offensive passages are creeping into our textbooks. Presenting false information in the classroom undermines the very foundation of the American educational system."
Public Schools Teach the ABCs of Islam-"Several recent studies have shown that American students are alarmingly ignorant about U.S. history and world events.
Experts have contributed the problem to everything from failing schools to substandard teachers.
But what about content?
For instance, did you know that Muslims discovered America? Or that Jerusalem is an Arab city? That's just some of the "history" that students in America's K-12 classrooms have been taught in recent years--with the help of taxpayer money."
