The Obama Nation

I have been reading a book that I recommend on the Books Worth Reading section on the side bar, The Obama Nation by Dr. Jerome Corsi, PhD.
Now, before you say, "Are you in conspiracy land? How can you read anything by this Corsi guy?!" I look at it this way. Call it the broken clock theory. You know, a broken clock is right twice a day. That is how I have read the book, so far.
I am about half way through the book. It starts off deconstructing the Obama autobiography, Dreams From My Father. I would say that it is very accurate, especially the time that Sen. Messiah Barack lived in Hawaii. I mean, how many kids of his background could have ended up at the most prestigious prep school in the state? That is a little taste of how Dr. Corsi deconstructs a great deal of the infamous autobiography.
I will not let you in on more for I do want you to read the book.
Warning and a spoiler alert!
Dr. Corsi really goes into a little bit of the esoteric in discussing Daddy Messiah and his relationship with politics in Kenya. But, it is the land from which Sen. Messiah Barack lineage comes from. But it is a bit much and I would say that it may be a bit boring to some.
Now, why is Dr. Corsi seen as a "nutter"?
Well, he wrote another tome, that I have not read, called The Late Great USA and the book deals with the latest conspiracy theory that the United States will eventually merge with Canada and Mexico in a European Union style agreement. Why they already have a currency in mind, the Amero.
I do not think that even the DDBMSOWM would be able to cover up any way to unify the three North American nations into one. But it is a legitimate theory. And, it is only a theory.
Also, Dr. Corsi makes it quite clear in the introduction to The Obama Nation that he did not write the book to help the McCain candidacy. He is a member of the fringe Constitution party.
And he writes that he will vote for the Constitution Party candidate for president.
So, while Dr. Corsi can be considered in many a way an outlier, he has written a very interesting book and so far, 50% of it is interesting in how Dr. Corsi deconstructs the Dreams From My Father autobiography. And the part about Daddy Messiah is, well rather arcane.
Unlike some who think that one should not give any credibility to Dr. Corsi, I do believe that this book, The Obama Nation is worth purchasing and reading. But, I will also read The Case Against Barack Obama by David Freddoso (and it is also a recommendation in the Books Worth Reading section). I think that both these books will be useful to refute those who may have fallen into the spell of the secular messiah.

One reason I'm not shivering in fear of Obama like some conservative bloggers is that he's all talk and no substance, and that rarely makes it for - or lasts - long in America. The bigger the bubble, the louder the pop. I see McCain as infinitely more dangerous in the long-run because he's actually accomplished in undermining conservatism.

I heard an interview with this guy on the michael medved show and it sounded very interesting. Thanks for the review and I may just have to get a copy!
Obama with a dem controlled congress is extremely dangerous. McCain will fight terrorism...thats all that matters in my book. :)N

When I first came out as a conservative, I was constantly peppered with questions about how I could vote for people that were against "gay rights." My answer was there's more than one issue to be considered in any election. 2008 is no exception.

I used to focus almost exclusively on the war against islamofascism too. So McCain meets your criteria on fighting terrorism. What about abortion? It doesn't seem to be a big issue for him. What about everyone's favorite Obama booga-boo the Supreme Court. Get ready for McCain's Kennedy/Souter clones. What about the border? Get ready for McCain to throw it wide open. What about the economy? Get ready for McCain to raise your taxes and bog you down with global warming b.s. that would make the Sierra Club blush.

I understand why people feel they need to vote for McCain. I just feel sorry for those who feel they're going to get conservative blood from a moderate-Democrat turnip.

I know, it is not going to be four years of conservativism a la Reagan. I do think that he will make better court choices than would B. Hussain Obama. I know that Obama will impose absolute socialism on this nation. McCain will, at worst, make it less and more of the Nixon drip-drip approach. We need to know that four years of Obama will be worse than four years of Carter. And it was four years of Carter that turned me into a conservative.
