Title: W Virginia keeps distance from Obama

Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.

“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.

A landslide victory for Mrs Clinton in West Virginia will do little to improve her fading hopes of winning the Democratic nomination, because Mr Obama has an almost insurmountable lead in the overall race.

But Tuesday’s contest is likely to reinforce Mrs Clinton’s argument that she would be the stronger opponent for Mr McCain in November, and raise fresh doubts about whether the US is ready to elect its first black president.

Occupying a swathe of the Appalachian Mountains on the threshold between the Bible Belt and the Rust Belt, West Virginia is a swing state that voted twice for George W. Bush but backed Democrats in six of the eight prior presidential elections.

No Democrat has been elected to the White House without carrying West Virginia since 1916, yet Mr Obama appears to have little chance of winning there in November. Recent opinion polls indicate that Mrs Clinton would narrowly beat Mr McCain in the state but Mr Obama would lose by nearly 20 percentage points.

West Virginia is hostile territory for Mr Obama because it has few of the African-Americans and affluent, college-educated whites who provide his strongest support. The state has the lowest college graduation rate in the US, the second lowest median household income, and one of the highest proportions of white residents, at 96 per cent.

A visit to Mingo County, a Democratic stronghold in the heart of the Appalachian coalfields, reveals the scale of Mr Obama’s challenge – not only in West Virginia but in white, working-class communities across the US. With a gun shop on its main street and churches dotted throughout the town, Williamson is the kind of community evoked by Mr Obama’s controversial comments last month about “bitter” small-town voters who “cling to guns or religion”.

“If he is the nominee, the Democrats have no chance of winning West Virginia,” said Missy Endicott, a 40- year-old school administrator. “He doesn’t understand ordinary Americans.”

Ms Endicott was among roughly 500 people who crammed into the Williamson Fire Department building on Friday to attend a rally by Bill Clinton, the former president. He told them his wife represented “people like you, in places like this”, and urged voters to turn out in record numbers on Tuesday to send a message to the “higher-type people” who were trying to force her out of the race.

Local leaders said Mr Clinton was the most important visitor to Williamson since John F. Kennedy passed through during the 1960 election campaign. Mr Kennedy’s victory in the West Virginia primary that year was a crucial step towards proving his electability as the first Catholic president. Nearly five decades later, the state appears less willing to help Mr Obama break down barriers to the White House.

None of the 22 Democrats interviewed by the Financial Times at the Clinton rally would commit themselves to voting for Mr Obama if he became the nominee, and half said they definitely would not. The depth of opposition is particularly striking considering that Mingo County is one of the most Democratic places in West Virginia, having cast about 85 per cent of its votes for the party in the 2006 midterm elections. If Mr Obama cannot win there in November, he has little chance of carrying the state.

Most people questioned said they mistrusted Mr Obama because of doubts about his patriotism and “values”, stemming from his cosmopolitan background, his exotic name and the controversy surrounding “anti-American” sermons by Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor. Several people said they believed he was a Muslim – an unfounded rumour that has circulated on the internet for months – despite the contradiction with his 20-year membership of Mr Wright’s church in Chicago. Others mentioned his refusal to wear a Stars and Stripes badge and controversial remarks by his wife, Mich­elle, who des­cribed America as “mean” and implied that she had never been proud of the US until her husband ran for president.

Conservative commentators have questioned Mr Obama’s patriotism for months and the issue is expected to be one of the Republicans’ main lines of attack if he wins the nomination. “The American people want a president who loves their country as much as they do,” said Whit Ayres, a Rep­ub­lican strategist. Obama supporters believe patriotism is being used as code to harness racist sentiment.

Josh Fry, a 24-year-old ambulance driver from Williamson, insisted he was not racist but said he would feel more comfortable with Mr McCain, the 71-year-old Vietnam war hero, in the White House. “I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president,” he said.

Obummer was right.

Those small town white trash people do not like people unlike themselves.

Obummer was right to demean such people that work for a living, own guns and attend church because they want to. Utter unwashed trash.

Yes, these are truly sad times for America. A country with somewhere near 300 MILLION people and the best that can be put forth for the people to vote for is a lunatic who got his ace designation by downing five of OUR planes (not the enemies), a socialist who wants to give us the same wonderful health care system they have in England, and a racist black guy who hates whitey (and whose wife hates whitey even more).

Shelby Steele explains their psychosis by saying that groveling allows them to feel vindicated for the past 400 (+/-) years of slavery and mistreatment blacks endured. Steele absolves whites living today b/c most, if not all, have no connection to slavery. Our Guilters missed the memo, obviously.

Did it ever dawn on you that people might vote for Obama because McCain's recent promise to give us four more years of Bush scares the hell out of them?

Explain why the past 7.5 years have been good for us and I might consider voting for four more of the same.

And your argument that all the candidates are the same, so anyone who doesn't voter for the (R) hates America, rings kind of hollow.

You might be right. Maybe the slogan should be changed as follows: There's not a dimes worth of difference between the candidates - except that the nigra isn't quite as good as the white guy.

Actually, I think it's more (R) and (D) than black and white. There's a little bit of a race factor in play, but mostly it's habitual support for the (R). Most of the anti Obama types know they're going to have to stop bashing come October and issue the call to hold your nose and vote for McCain. And every inch of ground that Obama gains today will make this task harder next October 15th.

Obama deprives Hillary of her heart's desire (to be emperor of the world, to be the biggest, strongest dyke {if you'll pardon the double entendre}who could hold back the floods that threaten Zionist power in America) and, then Obama loses to McCain. The result is, neither women or white guilting blacks make any PC headway this election.

A DOUBLE VICTORY!

If we can't have Ron Paul then I want everyone to lose, and because McCain will probably be removed from the Oval Office in restraints while babbling gibberish within a few months of taking office, well, it doesn't get much better than that!

And, if he picks Joe Lieberman or through some shenanigans Nancy Pelosi becomes the next prez, well, hell, they can follow orders as well as the next NWO lackey, right?

Once we shed our concerns about personalities, religious affiliations or skin color then it's just a matter of betting which heads will swell the way Dubya's did, and who will grow to believe that he/she is actually in charge after a bit of time at the helm.

Bush forgot that he was no more in charge of a country called America than William Shatner was really in command of a starship called The Enterprise....

White guilters here on the 4um love to grovel, whine and slobber upon Obummer to PROVE they are not racist. I wonder if that evolves from some kind of guilt conscience and or an inferiority complex????

It's where the money is.

As demonstrated by our white guilters here that infest the 4um, you well know they cannot shed their obsession with skin color.

For some reason they seem to have this compulsive drive to prove to the world and perhaps to themselves that they are not racist. When a person has an overpowering NEED to prove himself to others, that person needs help.

True heart of the matter.

There are two things in this political charade that are undeniable.

One..One and only one candidate has had zero money problems from day one, JUST ONE.

Two...If one is honest enough to accept number one as true, from whence comes the nearly quarter of a billion dollars ($250 million) that falls from heaven since the day Obummer was created by the controlling elite?

I don't have to prove anything. I just point to the last 7.5 years and say "No More!".

When McCain promised to give me four more years of the same, that was it for me.

Obama's race? Hell, against McCain I wouldn't care if Obama was even a human being. I'd vote for a squirrel over McCain.

Really gets to you that the small donors stepped forward and supported Obama.

And it really gets to you that people are sick of the R's and nobody sends money as a result.

So what do you do in these circumstances? Why, come up with a wild conspiracy theory to explain why the world isn't he way you want it to be.

You mean? It didn't come from penny drives from the children? (Oh yeah, I forgot they are only 'appendages'... )

Well, okay then, you mean? all that could not have come from regular type people?

That is a lot of cash..

You make an amazing point. It is odd that the other two candidates have had money problems.

You know what? It's starting to look like Obama could be the establishments choice. Heyyyyy wait a minute.. I thought we were looking for change.

Well, yeah, but, I've lived all over and it just seems to me that those folks are a severe minority and they generally stick out like a turd on a wedding cake.

The demographic that concerns me consists of those who vote themselves ever increasing shares of the treasury's monetized debt. (and, they don't waste time debating high minded ideals on the internet. They're just waiting silently and patiently to enter the polls and reward the winner of the seniors' welfare lottery....and, they're a surprisingly color blind group, too.)

The US' number one business is now senior care, and whoever wishes to win must above all else promise the biggest increase in social security and Medicare bennies.

We may reach the absurd point where a candidate is promising each voter a million frauds ($) worth of life extending stem cells only to be outbid by another who promises that and 100% property, capital gains and income tax relief for America's tyrant class of voters. Despite all of the burning issues we discuss here, this election will be won by the candidate who can convincingly use the phrase "social security trust fund" and sound as if he/she believes that it actually exists as a self sustaining, interest bearing "generational compact."

That simple truth eludes them.

That being said, resident democrat partisan white guilters have joined guilters from the pub party, such as the Nixons and Eisenhowers, in sending in their maximum donations.

Perhaps we should have an Obama fund drive here on 4um, surely it would be a big winner.

It has been mentioned that our resident white guilters that formed a better forum are indeed contemplating a fund drive to support their savior, Obummer.

It should be a huge success as they did not exactly over extend themselves (cough cough) in financial support for Ron Paul.

As an example, in the race in Pa. the high powered law firms stepped up to the plate and gave the maximum to Obummer. Anything less from the new forum would be an embarrassment.

Well said,

I agree with you - "white guilt" has little to do, imo, with Obama's surging popularity. It's all about his promises of benefits to the rubes. It's also about the promise that he makes to tax "the rich" - ie. a family that earns $100,000 and more - and in so doing Obama works the envy wedge that has grown in recent years between the economic classes in our society, specifically between the lower and those above. Success and economic independence used to be values that were respected in America. Not anymore. Now it's equal outcomes and entitlements.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage." - Alexander Tyler

Despite this well known truism it was considered impolite to mention it in the company of socialists, and was never to be seen in campaign mailers or letters to the editor of AARP Magazine.

So, they all knew that sooner or later the well would go dry. For many years I've heard seniors say that they expect it but they don't care what happens to America or their own children/grandchildren as long as it's after they're dead and gone!

So, those who bought the false promises of the Roosevelt Administration and basked in the pandering of irresponsible politicians ever since are welcome to try and survive an uncertain future with the rest of us. (If they're willing to babysit we can let them gnaw the bones and lick the pan after we fry some batwings)

After all, we grew the seed corn and they ate it, so, what further obligation could we possibly have to them when the fraud ($) is most useful, bundled and burned as fuel in fireplaces?

If all those bitter people show up from other states, it's possible they might find out that Obie has zero chance of winning the general. They'll have to decide if they are racists or sexists, and which one has a better chance to hold the flock and make it look believable on election day.

And my relatives fled the Communists who took over the Ukraine, artificially instituted famine and murdered millions.

The famine was used as an effective tool under approval of the communist government in Ukraine to break the renaissance of Ukrainian culture.

As they say, one thing leads to another. Weimar led to Hitler.

And history repeats itself. That's why many here can see Obaba for who he is and what he represents: the ruination of America.

Shelby Steele explains their psychosis by saying that groveling allows them to feel vindicated for the past 400 (+/-) years of slavery and mistreatment blacks endured.

My first wife, the overeducated school marm, would scream at me when truly pissed: “You bastard would bring back slavery, if you could!” I never argued the point, which pissed her off even more. Women!

By fascists and Nazis. And I suspect only fascists and Nazis remember this factoid today.

And, even if Jews had disproportionate influence, power, and wealth in the Weimar Republic, a liberal democracy is still infinitely preferable to the hell on earth the Nazis created.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors.

A lot of them thought in 1931-3 that the conditions were unbearable. 1943-7 taught them what it means for conditions to be really unbearable.

And the Nazi takeover was far from inevitable. Had a corrupt ruling class not decided that giving them power was the easiest way out, it could have been avoided.

I agree with you - "white guilt" has little to do, imo, with Obama's surging popularity. It's all about his promises of benefits to the rubes. It's also about the promise that he makes to tax "the rich" - ie. a family that earns $100,000 and more - and in so doing Obama works the envy wedge that has grown in recent years between the economic classes in our society, specifically between the lower and those above. Success and economic independence used to be values that were respected in America. Not anymore. Now it's equal outcomes and entitlements.

The struggle must continue !!

There are so many good ones that one has to pick and chose. The Jews of Russia were working hand and glove with the Jews of Germany in disregard of Versailles, in forming the new Germany Army which Hitler was to use.

In fact the Germans had no paratroops, the Russians trained them, the ones used at Fort Emmanuel and later on Crete.

Poor choice of words on my part.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you did not read from the approved shelf. I've been told that once a new book is written, the old one is obsolete. Facts and details as such are not relevant. I happen to disagree with that point of view, but then, one has to consider the agenda of the seller.

Gen. von Seeckt of the Weimar was plotting WW2 within 90 days of cease fire of WW1. Robin and her ruffians knew all about the Weimar but never heard of von Seeckt. Shallow intellect for professed history experts.

To their defense, perhaps such details did not make it to the new book? Just when you think you know all there is to know, you might begin to wonder, is this all I'm supposed to know? Were facts deleted to promote an agenda, or to hide one?

"Results of the school's first year of work were summed up during a spring 1926 meeting of Soviet and German Air force commanders. Senior Lieutenant Wilberg, Chief of the Reichswehr Aviation Department, announced plans to expand the activities of the fighter school and to establish a training detachment of reconnaissance aircraft to train observers and conduct experiments in aerial photography. The Soviet side supported all these suggestions. Military Commissar R. A. Muklevich, one of the RKKA Air Forces leaders, made this statement at the meeting: "You can count on total assistance and support on our part. ..."Everything is based on ideological cooperation".

The fort and defensive lynch pin to the northern flank, fell in a matter of hours. Later, in 1942, Germany demonstrated it's might again, at Sevastopol against the Soviets. At great cost, a mighty Soviet fortress was destroyed and captured by the von Manstein led German Crimean Army."

More from "A secret aviation school"...

Eight German two-place Heinkel HD 17 reconnaissance aircraft with the 450hp Napier Lions engine were brought to Lipetsk in the summer of 1926 with the aim to train observers. These airplanes were designed and built by the Heinkel firm based on a special Reichswehr order for the Lipetsk Aviation School. E. Heinkel writes in his memoirs:


When I returned to Warnemuende from Sweden, I was told that a certain visitor wished to see me. When I met him, he didn't introduce himself. Later, I found out that his name was Student. In spite of his civilian clothes, I felt from the outset that he was a military man. He made it a condition that our talk should be kept in confidence.
After our first conversation, it still was not clear whom he really represented. Only some time later I understood who he was and the real reason for his visit. "With the government's permission, the Reichswehr assisted in reorganizing the army of Soviet Russia. That country needed the technological achievements Germany had. Wilberg headed the Reichswehr Aviation Department. He made a trip to Russia to study the possibility of training pilots there using airplanes built secretly in Germany.
At the time, I could not understand why the visitor asked whether I would be able to make a landplane with a speed of 220 km/h and ceiling of 6000 meters, which could be employed as a short-range reconnaissance aircraft. I asked him what financial resources he had. The man smiled and said that he was ready to buy such an airplane immediately after it was built. After a bit of thought, I agreed. Thus, from 1923 on I became a participant in providing armaments for the German Army. To the surprise of the judges at the Nuremberg trial, the government itself financed this. The HD 17, my first airplane for the Reichswehr, had to be built in secrecy, playing cat-and-mouse with the Allied Commission on Aircraft Construction. The game was extremely dangerous for me. I could lose all or find myself under strict surveillance and constant supervision. I think fortune was on my side.

I think it's quite possible that those particular folks could not stand that certain issues would be left to the states.

They have a narrow agenda, and nothing, NOTHING, else matters.

The only way to get there is via the most radical leftist, otherwise either candidate would do.

The hammer was to scream racism.

Enforcement was browbeating, silencing debate on other issues.

Actually, that comment was made in the low gear modus of a matter of fact mentioning of whom I have supported over the years.

I am not responding to FOH as he does not discuss, but only baits and harasses. It is better to ignore such people, as arguing with an idiot who relishes mud throwing is a problematic thing to do creating a situation where the casual observer can't tell who is the hater and who is the baited.

I had him on bozo as a vote of disdain for his brand of baiting until the bozo count disappeared from set-up today.

But my old account I first signed up here with using my FReeper version of my real life nick name has always watched his game playing.

I always watch what people say. I have been a political activist too long not to know to that not watching all elements of a forum is a dumb thing to do.

The Weimar Republic was commonly called the Jew Republic in Europe.

By fascists and Nazis. And I suspect only fascists and Nazis remember this factoid today.

Let me see; only fascists and Nazis are interested in actual history. I have to be reminded occasionally that European religious history relating to Martin Luther, the father of reformation, and European history, relating to Germany is owned by the Jews in the good old USA.

Thank you, and archived for later use.

I do. I was photographed by FReepers at the Lane County Federal Courthouse during a court hearing for some Klamath Water rights people.

It was linked to a thread about this issue and as the caption talked of me as a "possible Earth Liberation Front member," I as 'ferret' complained and they changed the caption to not be so slanderous.

I believe there was another bicycle picture earlier then that too that had been one of the pictures of me in the Register Guard. That one of me was in reference to a fast for Earth First! activism Tim Ream was doing at that time at the same location.

I have been in the local paper many many times, and I am clear and open about being Michael McCarthy as I am already well known locally and have long ago lost my shyness about being known exactly as myself.

That sounds like the Register Guard picture, not the taken by FReeper one. The one of me you can see by clicking on my 'Ferret Mike' post name is of me in front of the Portland Saturday Market tool room. I am with my Cenelli Super Corsa in that picture, but you don't see much of the bicycle, just the seat.

I am always on or with one of my expensive machines. I turn 54 tomorrow and look and feel much younger because I excercise constantly, never drink or drug, and eat only healthy food. For example I only eat good quality meat three or four times a week.

Unless it is right after hunting season that is and I was successful at taking down a buck with one of my compound bows. Then I enjoy venison much more then I probably should. ;-D

Chapter heading – Juutalaisten Tasavalta (literal = Jew’s Republic)

Jews gained enormous power during the Weimar ….they owned large department stores, newspapers and banks …. and generally dominated Germany's pop culture during the Weimar years …. their art, literature and theatre were enormously popular, but were looked down on by the native cultural elites as tawdry filth. (halpaa roskaa)

Their very success in pre-Hitler Germany was instrumental in the rise of the Nazi party, which was seen as purifying agent for German culture.

I could tell you stories; I’ve had three relatives, now long gone, that got their degrees in Germany in the 30s, when Germany was the leader in chemical and metallurgical expertise. According to them, to get into a good medical or dental school without being a member of the tribe was well-nigh impossible.

They were all engineers, BTW.

I did a similar search for "Judenrepublik" in German yesterday. Results: some results unrelated to Weimar (like for Stalin's proposed Jewish Republic in Siberia), and some Nazi quotes.

Good lord, you just don’t give up; lots of “sisu,” which is good.

Juutalainen = jew

Orthodoksijuutalaisihminen = orthodox jew

Juutalaiset = jews

Juutailaisten = belonging to jews

Finland = Suomi

Germany = Saksa

Nazi = natsi

Hit preferences, select Finnish and go to town!

Hint: Finnish language is kind of difficult, they roll two or three words into one, resulting in some monsters. I used to be a licensed translator, but I even get lost. Lots of “invented” new words.

Another hint: I worked thru college as a research assistant and I was paid for my efforts.

I say this tounge in cheek, but I suspect it has a lot of truth. Obama has the women's vote. With so much indoctrination by the media not to be a racist many the women will vote for Obama to prove they are not and half the women will vote for him because he is a good looking black that they fantasize having sex with.

It is things like that rather than their true position on the issues that determine how most people vote.

I think many people would agree with you DW. One thing I'll toss into the mix though, is the RPRevolution has brought sanity back to the plate, and is something so many of our younger previously apathetic demoralized adults have drawn to.

This is why his message is feared. I consider this election a demarcation point from the 'ways' of political seduction of the past to the reality of today.

No matter who wins, the celebration won't last long.

I hope you are right but I'm very discouraged that it will ever amount to anything. Ron Paul got 8% of the vote. Divide that by half because the other half are Democrats. Divide that half again because it wasn't a general election and the 2% remaining doesn't amount to much.

Ron Paul raised $20 million. The rulers who own the Federal Reserve and the media and have $trillions will spend $100 billion plus the value of another $200 billion in media properganda. Not much hope when you are outspent by more than 10,000 to 1.
