Tell me who a person’s friends are and I will tell you who the person is.  Your associates, friends and acquaintances say something about who you are and what you believe.  If many of your friends were shadowy figures, mobsters, America haters and other unsavory characters, there is a good likelihood that you will also be an unsavory character just like the friends that you have. 

The Democratic Party has a long list of questionable characters that they associate themselves with, such as George Soros, the billionaire socialist who wants to turn America into a Soviet style socialist republic, Jesse Jackson, who believes that victimhood is what blacks should aspire to, and the government should be responsible for what they do or do not do, such as get an education and a job.  Then there are the far left web sites who spew hate like McDonald’s Restaurants serve hamburgers.   These include The Daily Kos, MoveOn.org, the Huffington Post and many others. 

Additionally, the Democrats associate themselves with people and organizations that are hostile to religion as a whole, such as the ACLU, which has its origins in the 1920s and many of their founders were communist sympathizers.  The ACLU is notorious for suing to rid government of any religious symbols. 

The Democrats are very strongly pro-abortion and will not tolerate anyone who is pro-life.  Whenever a judgeship comes up, the first question they ask is the candidate pro-life; if he/she is they are excluded from consideration or they will all vote against anyone who is.  All you have to do to prove this point is to look at the last two Supreme Court appointees of President Bush, Samuel Alito and John Roberts.  Although neither of these two proclaimed being pro-life, the mere suspicion that they were compelled all Democrats to vote against them.  The Democrats also tend to suspect anyone who is particularly religious, unless they are of the religious left persuasion.  Liberation Theology, a Socialist, Marxist religious worldview, is a favorite religious philosophy of the Democrats. 

During this year’s Presidential campaign, much has been made of Barack Obama’s close association with certain questionable characters such as the following:  Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Fr. Michael Pflegler, Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers.

 Rev. Jeremiah Wright has been his pastor for the past 20 years and he considers him his close confidant, advisor and friend until he was forced to disown him after he clinched the nomination.  We have all heard what Rev. Wright said about America, if not, click on the last hyperlink to see this YouTube video.   He has stated that we should not bless America but damn it.  He also said that American was responsible for 9/11 and the United States purposely spread the HIV virus to kill blacks.  Fr. Pflegler , a renegade Roman Catholic Priest, is a Rev. Wright clone.  Although Fr. Pflegler is white he speaks like a black preacher and condemns America even more vehemently that the Rev. Wright. 

Tony Rezko, a Chicago developer and close friend of Obama, has recently been convicted of 16 counts of corruption.  Rezko is a long-time supporter of Obama.   Bill Ayers is a 1970s terrorist who belonged to the Weather Underground whose purpose was the overthrow of the United States government.  In a Chicago Magazine article recently he is shown proudly standing on an American flag.  His wife is Bernadette Dohrn who is also famous as a Weather Underground terrorist. 

Obama has never distanced himself from any of these figures.  Now I do not believe that Obama is like any of these people.  I believe that he is a decent and good person.  However, I strongly question his judgment in keeping such characters as associates and or friends.  Let me ask another question.  If John McCain had such friends would the mainstream media ignore it like it has ignored these friends for Obama?  I have yet to see anything in the mainstream media anyway critical of these associations. 

If you are an employer and Barack Obama applied to work for you and you knew of such associates, would you hire Mr. Obama?  Yet, this man wants to be your President.
