Releash the Damn Photos

2011-05-05T19:05:00.000-07:00

President Obama doesn't want to inflame Muslim opinion by releasing the photographs of Osama Bin Laden with his brainpan ventilated. Now, I realize that the Navy SEALs likely snuffed out the founder of al Qaeda with an MP5K sub-machinegun, and a NATO 5.56mm round fired from one of those bad boys at close range would likely have peeled back Osama's skullcap like a banana and made a nice Jackson Pollack-esque brain splatter on the wall.

But, showing the corpse of Osama bin Laden might inflame the sensitivities of people who follow a religion of peace that bin Laden allegedly hijacked. And we all know what happens when followers of a hijacked religion of peace get inflamed, right?

And so, all we have are faked photos of a dead Osama bin Laden, like the one that looks more like Rodney King after a routine traffic stop in LA than a guy that got pasted by a headshot.

Release the damn photo, Obama!

Now it's time to put the controversy in context.

Do you remember the peaceful Muslims in the idyllic town of Fallujah, Iraq, known as the "city of mosques" for its over 200 Islamic houses of worship. In photographs released to all major news outlets the Muslims are merrily stringing up the charred and dismembered corpses of American contractors (Scott Helvenston, Jerry Zovko, Wesley Batalona, and Michael Teague) on the bridge over the Euphrates River after attacking them, beating them, and setting them on fire.

Careful. I realize there is an impulse to get angry about Muslims killing Americans and desecrating their bodies and putting them on display for the world, but keep your cool. Remember, President Obama prosecuted the Navy SEAL that punched the terrorist responsible for this attack on American contractors.

Remember when we saw photos and video of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, of the Muslim Terrorist recording of his execution by beheading at the hands of his al Qaeda abductors. The taped beheading of Daniel Pearl was made into an al-Qaeda recruitment video, which was subsequently released on the internet as well as aired internationally by Al Jazeera TV and CBS News.

Don't get mad. The man who likely beheaded Daniel Pearl, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, is in US custody at Guantanamo. KSM, as war on terrorism chroniclers know, is the Baluchistani terrorist on Saddam Hussein's payroll that planned the 9/11 attacks. KSM was arrested in Pakistan after Iraqi intelligence officials defected and surrendered right before we invaded Iraq back in 2003. They knew right where he was, and we went and got him. To me, that justifies the war in Iraq that candidate Obama said was the "wrong war." Saddam Hussein's intelligence services were deep in bed with a terrorist organization that had just killed 3000 Americans. [Don't argue with me, read the Clinton administration 1998 federal indictment of Osama bin Laden]

KSM pled guilty in a military tribunal, and would be executed by now except the wisdom of President Barack "I will stand with the Muslims" Obama believes the Justice Department can get a better verdict in the civilian courts than a guilty plea in a death penalty case in front of a military tribunal.

Don't get mad about Obama not releasing a photo of the dead Osama yet. Remember, according to our wise President Obama, the Daniel Pearl execution video "captured the imagination of the world." I guess like Star Wars, only without the John Williams symphony soundtrack.

Speaking of captured imaginations, remember the internet video of a TSA employee molesting a non-Muslim child to make sure he's not a suicide bomber before he boards a plane. Without getting into the specifics about the leftist incapacity for rational thought, let's just say this venture into absurdity may one day payoff for Obama's "counter-terrorism" efforts when a TSA molester accidentally triggers the detonator on an actual suicide bomber and kills everyone waiting in line to get to their plane. And who wants to bet that that chance suicide bomber blowing himself up in middle of the airport screening line to kill dozens of people will be a person not singled out for scrutiny while the kids ahead of him in line are molested for the sake of not making him feel needlessly inconvenienced as a Muslim?

Don't get mad. Remember, your kids will get molested at the airport and you will get a mild dose of radiation by the backscatter Nudie-Vision x-ray photography machines manned by the Department of Homeland Security for the same reason President Obama won't release Osama bin Laden's death photo: molesting your kids and collecting nude photos of you into a federal database are merely two ways we avoid disturbing the all-important Muslim sensitivities.

Not offending Muslim sensitivities is imperative. Do you remember the front page photos of wounded soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas being treated by medics after the third Islamic terrorist attack on US soil since President Bush left office claimed the lives of 12 people. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim military psychiatrist went ding-dong and shot up other soldiers preparing to deploy to Afghanistan to fight al Qaeda and the Taliban. Now, we all know psychology and psychiatric degrees are very important to those seeking management positions at Taco Bell, but I'd like to think the field doesn't draw people apt to go ultraviolent jihadi thrill kill on the advice of a Muslim cleric met on the internet. But, hey, I'm trying to be sensitive to Muslims here, and so were the FBI, who were monitoring the good Muslim US Army shrink's communications with a radical Islamist cleric known for condoning terrorist attacks as "holy." That's why the FBI never told the Army that they had a radicalized terrorist sympathizer near weapons and tanks and ammunition and a short drive through the nearest elementary school full of kids. That's why the FBI never made a move on Hasan before he went on a shooting rampage. Don't offend the Muslim sensitivities.

I mean a cartoon caused Danish and Norwegian embassies in Syria to spontaneously combust as peaceful Muslims stood around them carrying Molotov cocktails. The cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, lives under threats to his life for drawing a cartoon of Mohammed, just as Salman Rushdie does for writing a novel referencing Muhammad's historical making up verses in the Koran to benefit himself allegedly because the Devil made him do it.

Perhaps releasing Osama Bin Laden's death picture will do more harm than good. It's entirely possible that for the first time in the history of human civilization, Muslims might … gasp …attack America. We best not offend these good people with a picture of a dead terrorist.

Joe Biden Railroad

2011-03-21T09:57:00.000-07:00

By Joe Stossel
It's amazing how modern politics resembles scenes of Ayn Rand's best-seller Atlas Shrugged.

Like the one in which a high-ranking government official pumps millions of dollars into a failing railroad company. The grateful railroad CEO rewards the government official by renovating his hometown train station and naming it after the government official. The renovation costs $5,700,000 more than expected.

Then comes the ribbon cutting ceremony. The CEO gets on one of his trains to go to the ceremony, but it breaks down. No surprise there: One out of every four trains his company runs is late. The CEO, chuckling at the irony, abandons the train and takes a car to the ceremony.

Unfortunately, that wasn't a scene in Atlas Shrugged. It happened this weekend.

The government official is Joe Biden.

By the way, the first of three Atlas Shrugged movies opens next month, appropriately on April 15th. (TAX DAY)

An Open Letter to Harvey Updyke

2011-02-23T14:10:00.000-08:00

Dear Harvey Alerbamermoron Updyke, Jr.,

It turns out, your a super smart fellow, for a Bamer - admitting (quite proudly) to have used a horrid herbicide on our trees live on the Radio and everything. And ending your call with a "Roll Damn Tide!!" Oh so classy.

I bet it would have been really hard for a Texas State Trooper to track you down. The fact, that You really do live in Dadeville and are a Crimson Tide fan. And apparently told half the damned town that you did it, bragging to everyone you saw. Oh, and if that weren't tricky enough to throw the Texas State Troopers off the trail, you called a Horticulture professor at Auburn AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL COPPING TO THE POISONING! Bravo! No Texas State Trooper would have ever figured that one out. You did what every police officer on the planet wishes someone would do during the course of an investigation: you confessed in public on the Finebaum radio show and gave enough details to lead even a rookie Texas State Trooper right to his front door in Dadeville, AL. I guess all those years of stopping speeders on Texas highways didn’t do much to make you a master criminal.

One flaw, there big guy: You committed your crime in Alabama not Texas. You see, in Texas the Retards wear State Trooper Uniforms. In Alabama, the retards wear houndstooth printed hats and red jackets with an Atlanta braves ripped off "A" on the chest.

Short of leaving a trail of bread crumbs the size of elephant droppings, you couldn't have made your capture, arrest and soon to be conviction much easier.
You claim that you poisoned the trees because some Auburn students rolled Toomer's Corner after Bear Bryant died in 1983. I guess by now you have been informed by that never happened. By all accounts the Auburn family was both saddened and respectful when the Bear passed. I consider myself a Dye Hard Auburn Fan and I mourned the loss of the Bear - one of my home state's true heroes - a hero who's name and memory you have forever tarnished.

If you really wanted revenge on someone for disrespecting the Bear go after the fan that stole his hat off his head during a post game celebration. Oh I’m sorry, That was a Bama fan.

I know your upset because Auburn won the national championship, posted the biggest comeback win in the history of the Iron Bowl, (and they did it AT Tuscaloosa) and had a player win the Heisman Trophy.

Here's the thing, I know you Bamers hate us Barners. We don't like yall much either. We have spent our lives being the little brother, the butt of all the tractor and cow college jokes while yall keep fielding players with those annoying as hell Bieber-bangs and waving those TP-topped detergent boxes around over your heads.
In yall's minds, the only thing worse than Bama losing is Auburn winning.

And now, for at least the foreseeable future, instead of Nick Satan or Bear Bryant or whatever great recruit the Tide signs, the face of Alabama Football in the eyes of the rest of the nation will a dumb-ass redneck named Harvey Updyke.
Thank you for proving everything I have said all my life about the average Bama fan having no class.

By the way, what kind of inbred Redneck names his kids Bear Bryant And Crimson Tyde. I hear you also named one of you dogs Bear Bryant. Your son has to feel great that his dad loved a person that he never met SO much that you named him AND a dog after that man. By the way, Tyde is miss-spelled. It’s correct spelling is Tide. Have who ever you asked to read this letter to you to point it out on a detergent box.

I would call you retarded redneck, but that would be an insult to retarded rednecks.
I understand from the police report, you answered "do you have anything else of value?" with "a 200 Kia and a T.V." Really? At age 62? those are your items of value? Did you spend your life's savings on fake Alabama Letterman Jackets and Big Al hats?

I can fully understand why your lawyers keep dropping you as a client.
Now, you want your trial moved because you don’t think you can get a fair trial in Auburn. What happen to "Do you think I care?" there Al? Did your cell mates ass rape some sense into you?

Look man. You're pretty damned lucky to be getting a trial at all. Lynching isn't that far in the past in Alabama. Instead of getting a trial you could be hanging from the end of a rope or buried inside a car trunk and dropped into a lake or landfill. "Do you think I care?"

You see, whatever misguided logic or sense of Crimson Tide (not Tyde) spirit and loyalty led down this path of ass clownery - committing at least one felony by putting poison on our trees was wrong.

The trees at Toomer’s Corner don't define us. They are a symbol of us - the Auburn Family. This act of, for lack of a better word, eco-terrorism, will bring all of us closer together while you, the Tide fans and the whole Crimson Tide nation look horrible and pathetic by comparison.

Do your family a favor: save them the expense and embarrassment of a trail by killing yourself. Hanging yourself from a tree would make a poetic footnote to your wasted life. You have some nice size trees in your yard. I am sure you can figure out how to get it done.

On second thought, do this life long Auburn fan a favor: fight the charges to the bitter end - where you’ll loose your house, 200 Kia and TV to try to pay your legal bills before going to prison for 1 to 10 years. Jail will be a good place for you. With luck you’ll get 300 pound black cellmate from Tennessee named Bubba that hates Cops almost as much as he hates Bamers and he'll ass rape you nightly for ten years - while I laugh at the thought of you having wear orange instead of your beloved
crimson.

Congratulations Harvey, aka Al from Dadeville. You managed to do the one thing that you would never intentionally do in your entire life: You made people feel sorry for Auburn University. Sorry for us in the very same year that we brought home the Heisman Trophy AND the National Championship.

By the way, is it hard to get your Tide-mobile to roll of flat tires?

Thanks and War Eagle!

PS. Spike 80DF is Harmful if swallowed.
You might want to take Bear (your dog not your son) to the vet soon.

The Top 7 Violent Left-Wingers You’re Not Supposed to Remember

2011-02-01T00:21:00.000-08:00

Even by the Left’s usual standards, the shamelessness and dishonesty of their reaction to psychopath Jared Loughner’s shooting spree in Tucson, Arizona—blaming his actions on the allegedly violent and inflammatory rhetoric of conservatives—is almost without peer. It became clear fairly early on that Loughner had serious mental issues and bizarre, apolitical reasons for hating Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. That did not prevent leftist politicians, journalists, commentators, and celebrities from smearing their political foes as accomplices to murder, however. To date, only one notable left-of-center figure—Kirsten Powers—has had the integrity to condemn this smear campaign.

This isn’t new—leftists have a history of blaming conservatives for apolitical crimes (sometimes they even blame conservatives for leftist crimes). In reality, the Left doesn’t care in the slightest about elevating our political discourse. The clearest indicator of their insincerity is that they never hold their own to these standards. The Left’s record of hate and vitriol is the stuff of legend, and while the media likes to forget about it, leftists commit acts of violence, too. Let’s remind them.

7.) Bradley Neal Crowder

In September 2008, Crowder was busted outside of the Republican National Convention for possession of a Molotov cocktail. It turns out his planned good old-fashioned rioting was a group outing—he came to the convention from Austin, Texas, along with a radical organization called the Austin Affinity Group:

The group brought a rental trailer with them that contained 35 riot shields, made from stolen traffic barrels. The intended use of the shields was to help demonstrators block streets near the Xcel Energy Center in order to prevent convention delegates from safely reaching the convention. St. Paul Police seized these shields on Aug. 31.

According to trial testimony, McKay and Crowder, angered by the loss of the shields, purchased supplies for constructing Molotov cocktails at a St. Paul Wal-Mart on Aug. 31, including a gas can, motor oil and tampons. They also purchased gasoline at a gas station. They then manufactured the eight Molotov cocktails at an apartment on Dayton Avenue where they were staying.

During a FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation, authorities learned through an informant that McKay and Crowder had manufactured the Molotov cocktails. Crowder was arrested on Sept. 1 for disorderly conduct during an RNC demonstration.

During a conversation overheard by law enforcement through electronic surveillance on Sept. 2, McKay told an informant that he intended to throw the Molotov cocktails at police vehicles parked in a lot near the Dayton Avenue apartment. The parking lot was used as a checkpoint area for vehicles entering the security perimeter around the convention site. It was visibly patrolled by the U.S. Secret Service, various police agencies and the military.

6.) Amy Bishop

On February 12, 2010, University of Alabama Professor Amy Bishop opened fire during a biology department meeting, killing three of her colleagues and injuring three more. As Michelle Malkin has documented, Bishop had an assault record, and students and professors had raised concerns about her mental state. She also may have murdered her brother in 1986.

A far-right professor? Nope—her political views were reportedly in line with the average academic. On February 15, the Boston Herald reported that a “family source” described Bishop as “a far left political activist who was ‘obsessed’ with President Obama to the point of being off putting.” On RateMyProfessors.com, students described her as a “liberal” and a “socialist” in a comment that has apparently been since removed.

Granted, Bishop was apparently motivated by fear of losing her job, not politics, but if we’re going by the rationale put forth by Paul Krugman and company, who’s to say the “culture of hostility” her fellow travelers fostered had nothing to do with her seeing “Second Amendment solutions” as a legitimate way to solve her problems?

.) James Von Brunn

On June 10, 2009, Von Brunn shot up the U.S. Holocaust Museum, hitting three and killing security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns. Unsurprisingly, he turned out to be a raging anti-Semite, a brand of bigot often characterized as right-wing by smear groups, but more often drawn to the anti-Israel policies of the Left. As Kathy Shaidle revealed, though, Von Brunn held other views that are much harder for leftists to disavow:

[M]any of von Brunn’s political views track “Left” rather than “Right.” Clearly, a re-evaluation of these obsolete definitions is long overdue.

For example, he unleashed his hatred of both Presidents Bush and other “neo-conservatives” in online essays. As even some “progressives” such as the influential Adbusters magazine publicly admit, “neoconservative” is often used as a derogatory code word for “Jews”. As well, even a cursory glance at “white supremacist” writings reveals a hatred of, say, big corporations that is virtually indistinguishable from that of anti-globalization activists.

James von Brunn’s advocacy of 9/11 conspiracy theories also gives him an additional commonality with individuals on the far-left.

Von Brunn also hated Christianity:

These dangerous, imbecilic, concepts, tenets, and teachings, often treasonous, DESTROYED the Roman Empire and drenched the soil of Europe with Aryan blood for almost 2000 years!

The Big Lie technique, employed by Paul to create the CHRISTIAN RELIGION, also was used to create the HOLOCAUST RELIGION … CHRISTIANITY AND THE HOLOCAUST are HOAXES.

“Christianity” destroyed Roman Civilization. The “Holocaust” Religion is destroying Western Civilization. The Aryan gene-pool dies, “unwept, unhonored and unsung.”

James Von Brunn sounds more like a cross between David Corn, Alex Jones, and Sam Harris than he does Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh.

4.) Joe Stack

On February 18, 2010, Joseph Stack crashed a small plane into an IRS building, injuring 13 people while killing himself and IRS manager Vernon Hunter. Left-wing writers wasted no time in linking him to the Tea Party; after all, he hated the Internal Revenue Service, and all anti-government sentiments are pretty much the same, right?

Nope. It turns out Stack was a nut, but not a wingnut. He posted a manifesto online before taking flight, in which he rails against the rich, insurance companies, President George W. Bush, the Catholic Church, and capitalism:

Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in […]

Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy […]

The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government. Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws […]

The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.

3.) The Service Employees International Union

Lone gunman and bad apples are one thing; the acts of entire organizations are quite another. That brings us to the SEIU. Last seen assaulting black Tea Partier Kenneth Gladney, these guys are masters of the Corleone School of Getting Your Point Across. And when entire busloads of union thugs terrorize together, it’s kind of hard to run the “isolated incident” defense:

By now, you’ve probably seen the mob-scene that developed on the front lawn of the private residence of Greg Baer, deputy general counsel for corporate law at Bank of America. This was planned for some time by the SEIU as part of a larger national event, their Showdown on K Street, which was shared with National People’s Action and thousands of other activists from MoveOn.org and other left-wing groups.

Prior to the main event on K Street in Washington DC, SEIU and company made a little pit stop. According to Fortune magazine Washington editor Nina Easton, 14 busloads of riled up protesters unloaded on Baer’s private property and stormed up to his doorstep, while his teenage son was home alone. Easton is a neighbor of Baer’s and had called to check on her neighbor’s son when she heard and saw all the commotion outside. Easton writes,

“ Waving signs denouncing bank ‘greed,’ hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baer’s steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baer’s teenage son Jack — alone in the house — locked himself in the bathroom. ‘When are they going to leave?’ Jack pleaded when I called to check on him.

“Baer, on his way home from a Little League game, parked his car around the corner, called the police, and made a quick calculation to leave his younger son behind while he tried to rescue his increasingly distressed teen. He made his way through a din of barked demands and insults from the activists who proudly ‘outed’ him, and slipped through his front door.

“‘Excuse me,’ Baer told his accusers, ‘I need to get into the house. I have a child who is alone in there and frightened.’”

Can you imagine the press’s nonstop howling if, say, FreedomWorks started bussing hundreds of people to the homes of White House czars to harass their families? It would be universally condemned as an outrage without precedent, and rightly so. But Democrat backers? Cue the chirping crickets.

2.) Harlan James Drake

When anti-abortion radical Scott Roeder murdered partial-birth abortionist George Tiller in May 2009, the usual chorus of death-exploiters howled that the Right was to blame, with character assassins like David Frum suggesting Bill O’Reilly bore special responsibility for (accurately) reporting that Tiller was killing viable babies while possibly covering the rape of teenage girls. Everybody knows about Scott Roeder.

But does the name Harlan James Drake ring a bell? On September 11 of that year, Drake murdered a pro-life activist named James Pouillon (as well as businessman Michael Fuoss, in an apparently-unrelated crime). Several news outlets reported that Drake was angered by Pouillon’s use of graphic images of aborted baby corpses. In a sick contrast to the conduct of Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, whose nonstop railing against talk radio in the wake of the Tucson shooting has led to the entire sheriff’s department shutting up about the case until further notice, Chief Shiawassee County Assistant Prosecutor Sara Edwards presented a more charitable theory about Drake’s motives: “Mr. Drake did not believe children should view the graphic material on the signs Mr. Pouillon carried.” Of course, leftists’ nonstop rhetoric about pro-lifers being woman-hating theocrats couldn’t possibly have been a factor…

The Pouillon case offers another even more striking contrast between Right and Left. While numerous leftists have been tripping over each other trying to tie conservatives to Loughner’s massacre, American Life League took the exact opposite route, with a responsible statement on Pouillon’s killing that puts all of today’s opportunists to shame:

Since a motive has not yet been determined, speculation is useless, if not harmful. We commend the Shiawassee County sheriff’s department for its swift apprehension of the suspect, and we pray for God’s justice and mercy.

1.) Jared Loughner

The biggest, most perverse irony of the Tucson shooting is that, to the extent that Loughner has identifiable political views, they lean leftward, not to the right.

One former high-school friend, Caitie Parker, described him as “left wing, quite liberal” as of 2007. From writings he posted online, we know Loughner believes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are war crimes, seems to agree with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ assertion of “the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care,” and that he posted “Crap on God!” repeatedly. He ranted “No! I won’t trust in God!” and favorited a YouTube video calling America a “terrorist country” and depicting a flag burning. He called The Communist Manifesto one of his favorite books.

Most of these details are simply ignored by leftists, but on January 12, Ann Coulter caught the New York Times in “the most bald-faced lie [she has] ever read in that newspaper—which is saying something,” attempting to misrepresent a sick joke Loughner made about abortion as if it was a pro-life argument:

Only because numerous other news outlets, including ABC News and The Associated Press, reported the exact same shocking incident in much greater detail — and with direct quotes — do we know that the Times’ rendition was complete bunk.

ABC News reported: “One Pima Community College student, who had a poetry class with Loughner later in his college career, said he would often act ‘wildly inappropriate.’

“‘One day (Loughner) started making comments about terrorism and laughing about killing the baby,’ classmate Don Coorough told ABC News, referring to a discussion about abortions. ‘The rest of us were looking at him in shock … I thought this young man was troubled.’

“Another classmate, Lydian Ali, recalled the incident as well.

“‘A girl had written a poem about an abortion. It was very emotional and she was teary eyed and he said something about strapping a bomb to the fetus and making a baby bomber,’ Ali said.”

Here’s the Times’ version: “After another student read a poem about getting an abortion, Mr. Loughner compared the young woman to a ‘terrorist for killing the baby.’”

It’s bad enough that we all get blamed for the crimes of rogue conservatives and non-political actors. But do conservatives really have to take responsibility for the actions of leftists, too?

* * *

Let me be clear: while dishonest, inflammatory, and violent left-wing rhetoric should be condemned for its intrinsic sins, it is not to blame for any of the preceding crimes. Sane human beings possess free will, functioning minds, and ultimately choose their own path, while the actions and motivations of the mentally disturbed are irrational. Individuals are ultimately responsible for their own actions; conservatives should not view these individuals as albatrosses to hang around the necks of all who espouse left-wing political views. That is not what this is about.

This is about demonstrating that madness knows no party lines. This is about challenging the Left to hold themselves to the standards they demand of their enemies. This is about exposing the insincerity of the Left’s crocodile tears. For all their wailing about how sweet little Christina-Taylor Green would still be alive today if only Sarah Palin hadn’t used a target symbol on an election map, not a word of it is genuine. If this was a true moral stand and not opportunism of the lowest sort, they would have also shed tears for Stephen Tyrone Johns, Vernon Hunter, and James Pouillon, while expressing remorse for their own contributions to the toxic state of American political discourse. Somewhere along the way, there would have been some hint of self-reflection: maybe we should quit accusing right-wingers of desiring a return to segregation or knowingly launching wars on phony intelligence. Maybe we should apologize for calling Republicans Nazis.

Good luck finding any such conscience pangs. To their shame, leftists persists in whitewashing their record while defaming ours. They don’t belief in civility or mutual respect. Only by recognizing the full extent of their duplicity, and the twisted morals that animate it, can conservatives hope to defeat the Left.

Egypt equals Obama's Iran (Lord Help Us)

2011-01-29T14:00:00.000-08:00

However corrupt Egypt’s regime may have been or continues to be, Mubarak succeeded in keeping the Islamists and the religious radicals in check. The Muslim Brotherhood, a major fundamentalist Egyptian opposition group that Mubarak had banned, will definitely try to take advantage of any further economic frustration or breakdown to set up the longed-for Islamic state, probably by promising those who have nothing that they will create a Muslim utopia of social justice, patterned after the Prophet Mohammad’s rule. That is the bait to hijack the revolution, like the Bolsheviks promised “peace, land and bread” to the uneducated, downtrodden Russian masses to get their support, only to bring in the Red Terror in return.

As history warns, the Islamists, if successful in seizing power, will internally perpetrate a Khmer Rouge/Khomeini-type bloodbath the likes of which Egypt has never seen before. The first victims will most likely be the country’s religious minorities. Externally, they will involve Egypt in a jihad/war against Israel, Europe or the Shiites and, like Iran, strive to build nuclear weapons.

Thus, Western countries and Israel are, naturally, viewing the events in Egypt with grave concern. The West must be prepared to confront the fact that it may be faced in Egypt with an approaching hostile, failed state, similar to Pakistan and Somalia, where terrorists will be welcome. If Obama fails to play this precarious situation right, and drops the ball like Carter disastrously did in 1979 by pulling the rug from under the Shah’s feet in Iran, then this dire situation could coalesce into Islamists capturing Egypt. Sometimes, as with Mubarak, the devil you know is better than the one you don’t.

Obama agrees McCain had it right

2011-01-25T20:21:00.000-08:00

Jan 25, 2011 Obama: “Both parties in Congress should know this: If a bill comes to my desk with earmarks in it, I will veto it."

FRANKFORT, KY — A state lawmaker wants random drug testing of adult Kentuckians who receive food stamps, Medicaid or other state assistance. Those who fail the test would lose their benefits under House Bill 208, filed by Rep. Lonnie Napier, R-Lancaster.

"I'm not a hard-hearted guy," said Napier. "I believe there is a need for public assistance for those who need it, but I understand some are using these funds to buy drugs."

Napier said the goal "is to get people off drugs."

"Most employers require it for their workers," he said of drug testing. "We need to do the same for those getting assistance through the state."

I am sure the Dims will come out against this because it is gonna hit their devoted fan base in the pocketbook.

Assassin's Creed

There’s been a lot of nonsense talk attempting to smear the right-wing for the murderous passions of Jared Lee Loughner, who was arrested on scene for a killing spree in Arizona which targeted Democratic Congresswoman Gabreille Giffords. Leftism, the field of inter-related political, social, and economic philosophies which have the collective historical distinction of being responsible for the violent deaths of over 300 million people and counting worldwide, would seem to be an easy profile to make in determining the political motivations of this assassin. Yet, the left has gone into overdrive attempting to portray Loughner as a right-winger and smear conservative groups as the catalyst for his abhorrent actions, snidely suggesting that it is somehow “obvious” that the right-wing is responsible for creating this cretin.

Does the left have any historical rationale for making the “political assassin must be a right-winger” case?

Let’s have a closer look at the infamous assassins and would-be assassins who have targeted politicians throughout US history, shall we?

On January 30, 1835, an unemployed house painter named Richard Lawrence aimed two flintlock pistols at President Andrew Jackson at the Capitol Building and pulled the triggers, attempting to kill him. However, both pistols misfired. Richard Lawrence was notable for his refusal to work for a living, delusionally under the impression that the US government owed him large sums of money, enough to live as if he were a King of England. Of course, the US government did not owe Lawrence anything, and he lived a century before slackers and freeloaders could take advantage of US government social largesse. But, Lawrence was convinced that he was royalty and thus due financial compensation from the government, and sought to kill President Andrew Jackson for not providing him his welfare. He failed to kill Jackson, but it was clear Lawrence was motivated by a warped sense of entitlement and class conciousness.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Richard Lawrence was a leftist.

On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot by actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth while attending a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, and two guests. Lincoln died the following day at 7:22 a.m. As a Confederate sympathizer, Booth would have been politically opposed to the Constitutional ban on the importation of slavery into federal territories, and the Founding Father's intent to end slavery by first making it economically unviable (US Constitution Article 1, Section 9: “The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.” - ten dollars in 1808 currency, adjusted for inflation, would be worth around $170 today); and making slavery politically unviable by not allowing slave states to enjoy the full apportionment of representatives to Congress by padding their population totals with slaves who had no political enfranchisement at all. (the three-fifths rule, from US Constitution Article 1, Section 2) As the Democratic Party was the legacy of the Anti-Federalists (those who opposed the ratification of the US Constitution) and the Confederacy itself was an unconstitutional construct of Democrats opposed to the Constititional intent to end the institution of slavery, we can assert correctly that Lincoln was a Constitutionalist and a conservative, while his Democrat / Anti-Federalist / Confederate opponents sought to radically alter (and ignore) the structure, framework, and clear intent of the US Constitution.

In other words, the political assassin John Wilkes Booth was a leftist.

On July 2, 1881, less than four months after he took office, President James A. Garfield was shot by failed lawyer and plagiarist Charles Julius Guiteau with a .442 Webley British Bulldog revolver. Garfield died 11 weeks later, on Monday, September 19, 1881, at 10:35 p.m., due to infections. Guiteau was a former member of the Oneida Community, a religious commune and silversmithing business set up in Oneida, New York by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848. Guiteau himself would later try to assert himself as leader of the Oneida Community his father and grandfather had brought him into, and attempted to pass off Noyes’ theological and social meanderings as his own. As a communal organization, the Oneida Community (who are the forefathers of today’s Oneida Limited silverware company) disavowed private property rights and believed in “complex marriage” - all members were “married” to each other. The Oneida Community and its leader Noyes were widely criticized and legally prosecuted for their unorthodox sexual practices, such as the post-menopausal women of their commune having sex with the teenaged males of the commune so that they could be “educated” in sexual intercourse without risk of pregnancy. (We call this child molestation and sexual exploitation these days). The Oneida Community cult were also adherents of “stirpiculture,” a eugenics-based ideology of selective breeding that arbitrarily matched male and female commune members to produce children who would be raised segregated and seperated from forming parent-child bonds as they were immersed in Noyes’ “Perfectionist” utopian theology. In effect, the Oneida communal cult was propagating the pseudo-science of eugenics to build a “master race.” Even in the kooky quarters of the Oneida Community where practically anyone of any age or gender was having consensual sex with everybody else, Guiteau was an outcast. His attempts to take over Noyes’ cult were rebuffed and ultimately he was cast out of the group. He would go on to write a speech in support of President Ulysses S. Grant, which he changed Grant’s name to James A. Garfield’s and presented to the Republican Party. Delusionally self-convinced his speech was the catalyst for Garfield winning the Presidential election, Guiteau demanded that he be given an ambassadorship to Austria or France. Of course the crank Guiteau was refused his unhinged demands. Claiming by the warped theology of the Oneida Community cult that “God” had instructed him to kill President Garfield, Guiteau purchased a Webley British Bulldog revolver and shot him. Guiteau had attempted to claim the kooky anti-property rights, sexually libertine, eugenics breeding theology of a cult leader as his own works, and failing that, attempted to claim credit for the election of a US President and sought recognition and compensation for it.

In other words, the political assassin Charles Julius Guiteau was a leftist.

On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shot twice at 4:07 p.m while attending the Pan-American Exposition at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. McKinley died eight days later, on September 14, 1901, at 2:15 a.m. McKinley’s assassin, Leon Frank Czolgosz, was an anarchist, and avid reader of the works of the socialist and anarchist Emma Goldman. Drawing inspiration from the assassination of King Umberto I of Italy by beloved anarchist “hero” Gaetano Bresci and personally dismayed by the reticence of American socialists to fully engage in violent revolutionary acts (apparently throwing dynamite bombs at police in Chicago’s Haymarket Square during labor disputes in 1886 and Emma Goldman’s personal involvement in plotting the failed attempt to assassinate US steel corporation industrialist Henry Clay Frick in 1892 were not enough...), the fanatic labor activist Czolgosz decided to “take matters into his own hands.”

In other words, the political assassin Leon Frank Czolgosz was a leftist.

On October 13, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was preparing to deliver a presidential campaign speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. John Flammang Schrank, a saloon-keeper from New York, shot Roosevelt once with a .38 caliber revolver. A 50-page speech folded over twice in Roosevelt's breast pocket and a metal glasses case slowed the bullet. Amidst the commotion, Roosevelt yelled out, "Quiet! I've been shot." Roosevelt insisted on giving his speech with the bullet still lodged inside him. During his speech Roosevelt stated, "It takes more than one bullet to bring down a Bull Moose" thus further perpetuating Roosevelt's image as a larger than life President and the nickname of the Progressive Party, the Bull Moose Party established in June 1912 after Roosevelt responded to reporters questioning his health stating, "I am as strong as a Bull Moose". He later went to the hospital, but the bullet was never removed. Schrank was very vocally opposed to Theodore Roosevelt’s seeking of a third term as President, as he was currently out of office and had previously served two terms (completing the term of the assassinated William McKinley and serving another, 1901 - 1909). The Constitution of the United States had not yet been amended to limit Presidents to two terms, thus rather than seek to amend the Constitution through legitimate processes or campaign for one of Roosevelt’s opponents, Schrank took the revolutionary action of seeking to end a Presidential candidate’s life. This was nothing but contempt for the US Constitution itself and an attempt to subvert legitimate electoral processes on the part of Schrank. Theodore Roosevelt might have won his third bid for the White House had not doubts about his health been created and that his campaign activities not been curtailed by recovery from this assassination attempt. John Flammang Schrank effectively robbed the American people of an opportunity to consider Theodore Roosevelt’s politics, deciding for himself that he alone should thwart the election.

In other words, the would-be political assassin John Flammang Schrank was a leftist.

On February 15, 1933 in Miami, Florida, President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt was fired upon by Giuseppe Zangara The assassination attempt occurred one month before Roosevelt was sworn in for his first term in office. Four people were wounded and Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak was killed. Zangara fired five shots from a .32 caliber pistol. A union bricklayer, Zangara was widely noted for his contempt of people who had more than he did. Being only five feet tall, he was unable to see over other people, and had to stand on a wobbly folding metal chair, peering over the hat of Lillian Cross to get a clear aim at his target.After the first shot, Cross and others grabbed his arm, and he fired four more shots wildly. He missed the president-elect, but five other people were hit, including Chicago mayor Anton Cermak, who was standing on the running board of the car next to Roosevelt. En route to the hospital, Cermak had allegedly told FDR, "I'm glad it was me and not you, Mr. President", words now inscribed on a plaque in Bayfront Park. In the Dade County Courthouse jail, Zangara confessed and stated: "I have the gun in my hand. I kill kings and presidents first and next all capitalists." He pleaded guilty to four counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to 80 years in prison. As he was led out of the courtroom, Zangara told the judge: "Four times 20 is 80. Oh, judge, don't be stingy. Give me a hundred years." The judge, aware that Cermak might not survive his wounds, replied: "Maybe there will be more later." Cermak died of peritonitis 19 days later, on March 6, 1933, two days after Roosevelt's inauguration. Zangara was promptly indicted for first-degree murder in Cermak's death. Because Zangara had intended to commit murder, it was irrelevant that his intended target was not the man he ultimately killed. He was guilty of murder under the doctrine of transferred intent. Zangara pleaded guilty to the additional murder charge, and was sentenced to die. Zangara said after hearing his sentence: "You give me electric chair. I no afraid of that chair! You one of capitalists. You is crook man too. Put me in electric chair. I no care!" Under Florida law, a convicted murderer could not share cell space with another prisoner before his execution, but another convicted murderer was already awaiting execution at Raiford. Zangara's sentence required prison officials to expand their waiting area, and the "death cell" became "Death Row". Zangara fried and died from state execution in the electric chair, ranting against capitalism.

In other words, the political assassin Giuseppe Zangara was a leftist.

On November 1, 1950, two Puerto Rican pro-independence activists, Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola, attempted to kill President Harry Truman. A violent gun battle ensued between the assassins and the Secret Service, resulting in the death of White House Policeman Leslie Coffelt. Coffelt was able to kill Torresola before blacking out and soon dying. Collazo survived with serious injuries. Truman was not harmed. Collazo's death sentence was commuted to life in prison by Truman, and was further commuted to time served by President Jimmy Carter in 1979. Collazo and Torresola were both members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, a socialist organization seeking violent overthrow of the legitimate Puerto Rican government and independence from being a territory of the United States.

In other words. the would-be political assassins Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola were leftists.

On December 11, 1960, while vacationing in Palm Beach, Florida, President-elect John F. Kennedy's life was threatened by Richard Paul Pavlick, a 73-year-old former postal worker. Pavlick's plan was to serve as a suicide bomber by crashing his dynamite-laden 1950 Buick into Kennedy's vehicle, but the plan was disrupted when Pavlick saw Kennedy's wife and daughter bidding him goodbye.That attack of conscience foiled the opportunity, with Pavlick's arrest by the Secret Service coming three days later after he was stopped for a driving violation, with the dynamite still in his car. Pavlick spent the next six years in both federal prison and mental institutions before being released in December 1966. Pavlick was upset that Kennedy had won the close election of 1960 against Richard Nixon, and often ranted about how the Kennedy family fortune had “bought” the election. Anti-capitalist rhetoric is more often than not prone to making statements alleging that “the rich” keep “the poor” politically disenfranchised, accusing them of purchasing offices of power for themselves.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Richard Paul Pavlick was a leftist.

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas, at 12:30 p.m. Kennedy was fatally wounded by a sniper's bullet while riding with his wife Jacqueline in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. At the time, Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was employed at the Texas School Book Depository, where he fired a 6.5 x 52 mm Italian Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle three times at the President’s motorade from a sixth story window. In addition to striking Kennedy in the head, killing him instantly, Osward also wounded Texas Governor John Connally and a bystander, James Tegue. Tegue was stuck by bullet fragments when Oswald’s second gunshot hit the nearby curb. Oswald himself was no stranger to violence. On April 10, 1963, Oswald, a former US Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union, had attempted to kill US Army General Edwin Walker, an ardent anti-Communist who the October 7, 1962 issue of the Communist Worker newspaper (which Oswald subscribed to) had called for “action against Walker and his allies.” Oswald fired upon General Walker through the dining room window of his Dallas home, but the bullet struck a window frame and was deflected, hitting General Walker in the forearm with fragments. Ballistics testing years later have corroborated the confessions of Oswald’s Russian wife Marina that linked Oswald to the attempt on Walker’s life, as the bullet fragments in that shooting matched ammunition used by the same rifle Oswald used to kill Kennedy. Oswald’s attempt on Walker’s life was politically motivated by Communist opposition to his anti-Castro speaking engagements, Oswald being a pro-Castro activist and self-avowed Communist with a history of meetings with the Soviet KGB. Oswald had even sent a letter to the Dallas offices of the FBI a week before the Kennedy assassination, warning that he would “blow up the FBI and the Dallas Police Department if you don’t stop bothering my wife.” (Oswald believed his Russian wife was being investigated for espionage due to his political activism). Fifteen minutes after killing the President of the United States, Oswald shot and killed Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit, shooting him four times at point blank range with a .38 Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver. Prior to the attempted assassination of a politically conservative US Army general and the killings of the President of the United States and a Dallas police patrolman, Lee Harvey Oswald was very politically active in Communist causes.

In other words, the political assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was a leftist.

On June 5, 1968, on the first anniversay of the 1967 Six Day War between Israel and the Soviet-backed combined forces of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, Arab nationalist Sirhan Sirhan fired a .22 caliber Iver-Johnson Cadet revolver at Senator Robert Kennedy and the crowd surrounding him in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles shortly after Kennedy had finished addressing supporters in the hotel's main ballroom. George Plimpton, Rosey Grier, author Pete Hamill, and 1960 Olympic gold medalist Rafer Johnson were among several men who subdued and disarmed Sirhan after a lengthy struggle. Kennedy was shot three times, with a fourth bullet passing through his jacket, and died nearly 26 hours later. Five other people at the party were also shot, but all five recovered: Paul Schrade, an official with the United Automobile Workers union; William Weisel, an ABC TV unit manager; Ira Goldstein, a reporter with the Continental News Service; Elizabeth Evans, a friend of Pierre Salinger, one of Kennedy's campaign aides; and a teenager, Irwin Stroll, a Kennedy volunteer. Sirhan was upset that Kennedy had pledged to provide Israel with strike fighter aircraft on the first day of his envisioned Presidency. Sirhan himself was loyal to Arab interests during the 1967 Six Day War in which three Arab countries with support from the communist Soviet Union sought to destroy Israel and fulfill the long-standing socialist goal of a ‘world without Jews” advocated by leftist luminaries like Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler, a goal also concurrent with Islamic theology and Arab cultural aspirations.

In other words, the political assassin Sirhan Sirhan was a leftist.

On May 15, 1972 while campaigning as a candidate for President in Laurel, Maryland, then Alabama Governor George Wallace was shot five times by Arthur Bremer. Bremer’s home was raided in the post-attack investigation, in which itr was found that Bremer was a subscriber of Black Panther Party and other associated militant leftist newsletters.On March 1, 1972, Bremer began his diary with the words, "It is my personal plan to assassinate by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace. I intend to shoot one or the other while he attends a campaign rally for the Wisconsin Primary". Bremer's purpose was "to do SOMETHING BOLD AND DRAMATIC, FORCEFUL & DYNAMIC, A STATEMENT of my manhood for the world to see" Bremer seemed to have a sociopathic craving to assert himself upon the world, no doubt heavily influenced by the empowerment rhetoric of black socialists and, of course, the hubristic tendency of self-styled “change agents” that emerge with the literal implementation of left-wing dialectical materialist activism.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Arthur Bremer was a leftist.

On February 22, 1974, Samuel Byck planned to kill President Richard Nixon by crashing a commercial airliner into the White House. Byck was an unemployed former tire salesman who attempted to hijack a plane flying out of Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Once he had hijacked the plane on the ground, he was informed that it could not take off with the wheel blocks still in place. He shot the pilot and copilot, then was shot by an officer through the plane's door window before killing himself. According to tapes made by Byck himself to document the reasoning behind his “Operation: Pandora’s Box,” Byck wanted to assassinate President Nixon for allegedly “conspiring against the poor,” a commonplace anti-capitalist / socialist theme, especially the manifesto of the so-called "Symbionese Liberation Army," a left-wing self-styled urban guerilla movement. Byck had also once attempted to join the Black Panthers, a racist, revolutionary socialist organization that still to this day advocates violence.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Samuel Byck was a leftist.

On September 5, 1975 on the northern grounds of the California State Capitol, Lynette Alice "Squeaky" Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, drew a Colt M1911 .45 caliber pistol on Ford when he reached to shake her hand in a crowd. There were four cartridges in the pistol's magazine but the firing chamber was empty. She was soon restrained by Secret Service agent Larry Buendorf. Fromme was sentenced to life in prison, but was released from custody on August 14, 2009, nearly 3 years after Ford's death. Though not indicted in the charges against the “Manson Family,” during the trial of Charles Manson and other members of his cult for the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders, “Squeaky” Fromme preached Manson’s deranged, apocalyptic “ATWA” (Air, Trees, Water, Animals) philosophy, the basis of the later group of the same name that is dedicated to the “force of life and the opposition to that which destroys the ecological balance of the Earth,” a commonplace theme among “green” activists and animal “liberation” terrorists, as well as the current psuedoscientific “anthropogenic climate disruption” hoax hypothesis perpetuated by socialism advocates and wealth redistributionist “global warming” political nutlogs. [ATWA co-founder and Manson Family member Sandra Good was later imprisoned for 10 years for conspiracy to send threatening letters to corporate executives unless their corporations “ceased polluting the environment.”] In order to purchase protection from violent inmates for their imprisoned cult leader Charles Manson, "Squeaky" Fromme was among women in the Manson Family who sent nude photographs of themselves and promises of sexual favors to inmates who were members of the “Aryan Brotherhood,” a racist, white prison gang and organized crime syndicate noted for drug trafficking, extortion, inmate prostitution, and murder-for-hire that uses iconography and symbols from the infamous progressive left labor activist Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party. The Aryan Brotherhood is also affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, a post-Civil War terrorist wing of the anti-Federalist, Constitution hating US Democratic Party, revitalized in the 1920s by the enthusiastic support of Progressive Society racial eugenics advocate and President of the United States Woodrow Wilson. Under Charles Manson’s politically violent ATWA philosophy, the Tate-LaBianca murders were intended to spark a race-based apocalyptic class war in which blacks would be blamed for the murders, creating a backlash where allegedly a civil war between black people and white people would result, with the few remaining black people emerging victorious, only to be ruled once more by the “white masters” of the Manson Family, who intended to wait out the envisioned “Helter Skelter” war in hiding, only to emerge and bring “enlightenment” to and rulership over “the darkies.” Essentially, a brutal, more vigorous approach to engineering the wacky racial hierarchalism of social Darwinism and progressive left eugenics policies.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Lynette Alice "Squeaky" Fromme was a leftist.

On September 22, 1975, seventeen days after “Squeaky” Fromme threatened President Gerald Ford with a gun, another would-be assassin came forward. Outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, California, Sara Jane Moore fired a revolver at Ford from 40 feet away. A bystander, Oliver Sipple, grabbed Moore's arm and the shot missed Ford. Moore was sentenced to life in prison. She was later paroled from a federal prison on Monday, December 31, 2007 (370 days after Ford's death) after serving more than 30 years. Moore was a former nursing school student, Women's Army Corps recruit, and accountant. Moore had been divorced five times and had four children before she turned to revolutionary politics in 1975. She later explained her attempt on President Ford’s life by saying, “the government had declared war on the left. Nixon's appointment of Ford as vice president and his resignation making Ford president seemed to be a continuing assault on America.” Given Ford’s lack of response to the Marxist-Leninist and Maoist inspired genocides in Cambodia and Indonesia following Nixon’s withdraw from the Vietnam War against Soviet-backed revolutionary communists, it isn’t immediately clear what exactly Moore meant by “the government had declared war on the left,” unless of course she was referring to the ongoing pursuit of the Weather Underground Organization, a terrorist offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society, a far-left faction of the same anti-Federalist, Constitution hating US Democratic Party that spawned the Ku Klux Klan. The “Weathermen’s” goal was to create a clandestine revolutionary party for the violent overthrow of the US government and the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat, a commonplace theme in Marxist-Leninist ideology, becoming more mainstream with the election of Weather Underground terror bomber William Ayers’ comrade Barack Hussein Obama to the Presidency of the United States. Moore was also fascinated with the exploits of the “Symbionese Liberation Army” (SLA), an American self-styled left-wing urban militant group active between 1973 and 1975 that considered itself a revolutionary vanguard army. The group committed bank robberies, two murders and other acts of violence.The SLA became internationally notorious for kidnapping media heiress Patty Hearst, abducting the 19-year-old as she and her 26-year-old boyfriend, Steven Weed, sat relaxing in their Berkeley, California home. Interest increased when Hearst, in audiotaped messages delivered to (and broadcast by) regional news media, denounced her parents and announced she had joined the SLA. She was subsequently observed participating in their illegal activities. Hearst later alleged that she had been held in close confinement, sexually assaulted and brainwashed. In his manifesto "Symbionese Liberation Army Declaration of Revolutionary War & the Symbionese Program," SLA leader Donald DeFreeze wrote, "The name 'symbionese' is taken from the word 'symbiosis' and we define its meaning as a body of dissimilar bodies and organisms living in deep and loving harmony and partnership in the best interest of all within the body." Which, along with the tendency towards violence directed at businesses and banking institutions, is a commonplace theme among the multiculturalist left.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Sara Jane Moore was a leftist.

On March 30, 1981, as he returned to his limousine following a speaking engagement at the Hilton Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Ronald Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley, Jr., who hoped to impress teen actress Jodie Foster. The others that were shot were White House Press Secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy, and D.C. police officer Thomas Delahanty, all of whom survived, though Brady, the most seriously wounded, was permanently disabled. Reagan survived and recovered after emergency surgery at nearby George Washington University Hospital. Hinckley was born father is John Warnock Hinckley, Sr., who was president of World Vision, a international relief and development organization which advocates liberation theology and “social justice” causes. Hinckley grew up in University Park, Texas and attended Highland Park High School in Dallas County, Texas. The family, owners of the Hinckley Oil company, later settled in Evergreen, Colorado. Hinckley graduated in 1973 from high school in Texas which prompted the move to Evergreen, Colorado An off-and-on student at Texas Tech University from 1974 to 1980, in 1975 he headed to Los Angeles in the hope of becoming a songwriter. These efforts were unsuccessful, and his letters home to his parents were full of tales of misfortune and pleas for money. He also spoke of a girlfriend, Lynn Collins, who turned out to be a fabrication. He returned to his parents' home in Evergreen before the year was out. During the next few years, he developed a pattern of living on his own for a while and then returning home poor. After seeing teen actress Jodie Foster portray a child prostitute in the 1976 movie Taxi Driver, Hinckley became obsessed with her, The Bickle character in the movie was in turn partially based on the diaries of Arthur Bremer, the attempted assassin of George Wallace.When Foster entered Yale University, Hinckley moved to New Haven, Connecticut for a short time to stalk her, slipping poems and messages under her door and repeatedly contacting her by telephone.Failing to develop any meaningful contact with Foster, Hinckley developed such plots as hijacking an airplane and committing suicide in front of her to gain her attention. Eventually he settled on a scheme to win her over by assassinating the president, with the theory that as a historical figure he would be her equal. To this end, he trailed President Jimmy Carter from state to state, but was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee on a firearms charge. Penniless, he returned home once again. He began to target newly-elected President Ronald Reagan in 1981. It was also at this time that he started collecting information on the assassination of John F. Kennedy by the communist Lee Harvey Oswald, whom he saw as a role model. Raised in a family that worked with Christian social and “liberation theology” programs and delusionally obsessed with becoming like the Taxi Driver character that was loosely based real life would-be assassin Arthur Bremer (who as stated above, had his home searched after his attempt on Wallace where it was discovered to contain collections of Black Panther Party literature, i.e. Bremer was a leftist) to somehow connect with Jodie Foster, and further inspired by the left-wing assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley, Jr. set out to kill anti-Communist President Ronald Reagan.

In other words, would-be political assassin John Hinckley, Jr. was a leftist.

On April 13, 1993, sixteen men in the employment of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti, smuggled a car bomb into Kuwait with the intent of killing President George H. W. Bush as he spoke at Kuwait University. The plot was foiled when Kuwaiti officials found the bomb and arrested the would-be assassins. Bush had left office in January 1993. The Iraqi Intelligence Service (Mukhabarat), particularly Directorate 14, was found to be behind the plot. Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti was the leader of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party in Iraq from 1979 to 2003, when he was forcefully removed from power by the United States military despite widespread outcry and protests from leftists all over the world. “Ba’ath” means "resurrection" or "renaissance.’ The Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party was a political party inspired by left-wing labor activist and dictator Adolf Hitler’s national socialist movement, mixing Arab nationalist and Arab socialist interests, opposed to what it sees as "Western imperialism" and calling for the "renaissance" or "resurrection" of the Arab World and its unity in one united state. Its motto — "Unity, Liberty, Socialism" (wahda, hurriya, ishtirakiya) — refers to Arab unity, freedom from non-Arab control and interference, a goal shared by the Muslim terrorist leader and left-wing “anthropogenic climate disruption” pseudoscience proponent Osama bin Laden, who formally merged his ‘al-Qaeda’ terrorist organization with Ayman al-Zawahiri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad organization at a conference in Baghdad, Iraq that was hosted and financed by Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti in 1998. Saddam Hussein would later offer political asylum to Osama bin Laden after President Bill Clinton’s Justice Department issued indictments following the al Qaeda bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef was a terrorist in the employ of Saddam Hussein’s Mukhabarat, as was his uncle and plotter of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, al Qaeda operations commander Khalid Shiekh Muhammad. Saddam Hussein was a particularly religious Muslim leader, having “Alllahu ackbar” (“God is great”) added to the Iraqi national flag and donating two pints of his own blood to use as ink in a calligraphic transcription of his own personal copy of the Holy Quran. Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was also linked to producing VX nerve gas weapons in co-operation with al Qaeda at the al-Shifa pharmaceuticals plant in the Sudan, which was subsequently destroyed by an airstrike ordered by President Bill Clinton in 1998. Saddam Hussein had previously employed the use of VX and sarin gas weaponry in the Iraq-Iran War (1980 - 1988) and upon the ethnic Kurds of northern Iraq, perhaps in emulation of the heavy-handed tyranny of the French leftist and cult of personality leader Maximillien Robespierre’s “Reign of Terror” following the French Revolution. Leftists who obtain political power more often than not impose themselves as the cultish “Great Leader” of an eternal revolution squelching dissent and political opposition with violence (see Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Castro, Idi Amin, etc.). Saddam Hussein was no different.

In other words, Saddam Hussein and the terrorists and assassins in his employ, were leftists.

On September 12, 1994, Frank Eugene Corder flew a stolen single-engine Cessna into the White House lawn, allegedly trying to hit the White House. The President and First Family were not home at the time, thus the actual motive behind the crash landing is inconclusive. Corder was the only casualty. Corder drew inspiration from Mathias Rust, a German who flew a rented Cessna from Helsinki, Finland into Soviet airspace, eventually landing in Red Square near the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia on May 28, 1987. Rust was later sentenced to prison for four years for attempted murder after stabbing a co-worker who spurned his sexual advances while serving his community service sentence in a West German hospital, thus indicating a sociopathic sense of entitlement and violent reaction to rejection all too commonplace among leftists who carry the hubris of believing themselves the progressive agents of change in a world they are allegedly more suited to rule. Rust is delusionally viewed in some leftist circles as a hero for penetrating Soviet airspace and allegedly ending the Cold War by embarrassing Russian military leaders in the Soviet air defense command. Indeed, Rust himself believed himself to be a “bridge” between the capitalist West and the communist Russians. At the time Corder attempted to fly his plane into the White House, these facts about Mathias Rust would have been known to Corder, particularly if Rust’s own daring flight in a stolen aircraft and his stated reasons for doing so inspired him. He may have been further inspired by Black Panther Party sympathizer Samuel Byck (detailed above) who also planned to assasinate a US President by crashing an airliner into the White House. Throughout the 1970s, various left-wing terrorist groups stole or hijacked aircraft to make political statements (particularly left-wing terrorist groups associated with Palestinian organizations backed by the Soviet Union, and which may have all served as an ideological prototype for the September 11, 2001 attacks). Frank Eugene Corder sought his “place in history” through violent plans as well.

In other words, the would-be assassin Frank Eugene Corder was a leftist.

On October 29, 1994, Francisco Martin Duran fired at least 29 shots with a semi-automatic rifle at the White House from a fence overlooking the north lawn, thinking that President Bill Clinton was among the men in dark suits standing there (Clinton was in the White House Residence watching a football game). Three tourists, Harry Rakowsky, Ken Davis and Robert Haines, tackled Duran before he could injure anyone. Duran was found to have a suicide note in his pocket and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. At his trial, Duran claimed he was trying to “save the world from aliens,” a commonplace trope among left-wing conspiracy theorists who believe the world is controlled by "Zionists," who to their paranoid delusional minds are Cthulu-like alien reptilian creatures who manipulate international relations with massive psychic tentacles. The ideas that “Jews / international bankers are aliens” and “the key to ending capitalism is a world without Jews” are two dehumanizing strains of bizarre anti-Semitic thought that find their intersection in the writings of noted leftist writers Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, Adolf Hitler, David Icke, Osama bin Laden and others. The dehumanization of “others” is a staple of left-wing thought, as is the hubristic “save the world” motivation.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Francisco Martin Duran was a leftist.

On February 7, 2001, while President George W. Bush was in the White House Residence, in Washington, DC, unemployed accountant Robert Pickett, standing outside the perimeter fence, discharged a number of shots from a weapon towards the White House. The U.S. Park Police stated that the type of handgun that was confiscated was of a sophisticated type and had the shooter not been shooting from an obstructed angle view, the bullets would have reached the White House. Following a stand-off of about ten minutes, the incident ended when a Secret Service officer shot Pickett, resulting in an injury which required immediate hospital surgery. Pickett had previously written letters to the President about employment grievances. A court in July 2001 sentenced Pickett to three years imprisonment in connection with the incident. Pickett had sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service, claiming “My death is on your hands ... I have been the victim of corrupt government.” Which is a commonplace sentiment expressed by leftists embracing victimhood as the reason for their personal failings, stoking within themselves a overblown sense of entitlement which all to often erupts in non-sensical violence.

In other words, the would-be political assassin Robert Pickett was a leftist.

On May 10, 2005, while President George W. Bush was giving a speech in the Freedom Square in Tbilisi, Georgia, Vladimir Arutyunian threw a live Soviet-made RGD-5 hand grenade towards the podium where Bush was standing and where Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, the First Lady of the United States Laura Bush, the First Lady of Georgia Sandra Roelofs, and officials were seated. The grenade was live and had its pin pulled, but did not explode because a red tartan handkerchief wrapped tightly around the grenade kept the firing pin from deploying quickly enough. Arutyunian was arrested in July 2005, and killed an Interior Ministry agent while resisting arrest. He was convicted in January 2006, and was given a life sentence. Russian military uniforms were found in Arutyunian’s home, though the Russian military denies he was soldier under their command even as they continue to menace the break-away republic of Georgia. The Russian military leadership is noted for still being under the control of former Communist Party members and appointed leaders loyal to hardliner communist Gennady Andreyevich Zyuganov. Even former KGB agent and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has made moves to rehabilitate the memory of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, going so far as to allow the Russian military to still fly the red hammer-and-sickle flag of the former USSR, perhaps operating from that old Soviet War College adage “We will make grand concessions in the name of peace. And when we have lulled them into a false sense of security, we will smash them with the mailed fist.”

In other words, would-be political assassin Vladimir Arutyunian was a leftist.

On January 8, 2011, twenty people were shot, six of them fatally, during United States Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' meeting with constituents held in a Safeway supermarket parking lot in Casas Adobes, Arizona. The dead include the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for Arizona, John Roll; a nine-year-old girl; and a congressional aide. Representative Giffords, a Democrat representing Arizona's 8th congressional district who was said to be the target of the attack,was shot through the head at close range and is in critical condition. A 22-year-old local man, Jared Lee Loughner, was arrested at the scene, and Federal prosecutors have filed five charges against him, including the attempted assassination of a member of Congress. Court filings include notes allegedly handwritten by Loughner indicating that he planned to assassinate Giffords. Perusal of Loughner’s YouTube accounts and online activities revealed that he was a fan of both the international socialist Karl Marx and the national socialist Adolf Hitler, two leftists who shared in common visions of a “world without Jews” to end capitalism. Congresswoman Giffords is Jewish. An avowed atheist like so many adherents of Marxism, Loughner shaved his head bald in perhaps solidarity with people punished by angry mobs in post-World War Two Europe for being collaborators with Adolf Hitler’s murderous left-wing labor movement, or perhaps to identify himself with modern “skinhead” neo-Nazi, white supremacist, and 20th Century iterations of the US Democratic Party’s Ku Klux Klan terrorist wing. Loughner presented himself on the internet with videos in which he burned the American flag, a favored symbolic act of aggression often seen committed by left-wing political protest groups and crowds whipped into a hateful frenzy by leaders of terrorism-sponsoring nations who more often than not fit the mold of cult of personality heads of state overseeing Soviet-style totalitarian regimes. Loughner was also a proponent of several world capitalists / international bankers / Jews / Zionists-control-everything conspiracy theories and canards that share a commonplace thread through leftist thought going back to the Dreyfus Affair in post-revolutionary France.

In other words, there is no doubt political assassin Jared Lee Loughner is a leftist.

There is absolutely no basis in reality or history for immediately suspecting a political assassination in the United States was motivated by right-wing politics, and ample justification for suspecting leftists at work.

Any questions?

Would a "3rd Bush Term" have been this bad?

2009-10-25T07:13:00.000-07:00

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.

And now ... a word from the peanut gallery!

2009-10-19T18:21:00.000-07:00

I just spent most of today wishing I was raised to think about me, myself and I first and foremost.

Because then I could pray Obama gets Con and Tax ... (AKA Cap and Trade) passed.

And because I own a ton of stock in the power company I work for, then I would get very rich very quick ... so sad that it will be at the expense of bankrupting the rest of the country and who cares that it won't do a dang thing to stop global warming. As long as it makes me and Al Gore rich.

I mean my nuke plant can make power at about 4 cents a KW/Hour and sale it at 32 cents a kw/hour PLUS sell our carbon credits to coal plants at a tidy profit to further drive up their expenses ... which in turn drives up the price of power .... which pushes up my nuke plants profits even more!!!! .... which makes my stock worth more ... and once the poor peons can't afford the power to heat their homes ...well Obama-Care would be there to treat them for frost-bite as long as the quota for cold weather related injuries hasn't been met.

If only my parents had raise me to be a dim-ol-crap!

2009-02-10T17:38:00.000-08:00

"There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy."

— PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, JANUARY 9 , 2009

With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.
Notwithstanding reports that all economists are now Keynesians and that we all support a big increase in the burden of government, we do not believe that more government spending is a way to improve economic performance. More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan's "lost decade" in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today. To improve the economy, policy makers should focus on reforms that remove impediments to work, saving, investment and production. Lower tax rates and a reduction in the burden of government are the best ways of using fiscal policy to boost growth.

Obama's 1st pick for the high court?

2009-02-07T08:05:00.000-08:00

Can you just wait to see who Azz Clown Boy ... err ... I mean Obama puts in for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with that dried up old liberal cunt finally crocks from cancer.

(Now, why don't you ask me how I really feel about her?) And no it has nothing to do with her being a woman or jewish or asleep at the bench (aka "snorer in the court") and has everything to do with her being the ring leader of the "liberal wing" in the current high court and having a Segal-Cover score of 0.680 placing her as the most liberal of the current justices.

Hey Ruth hurry up and die and take that old Drunk Ted Kennedy with you you dried up cancer ridden hag!

"You have to have a Carter to get a Reagan."

Obama's first official pardon

2009-02-05T14:26:00.000-08:00

The people that run this abortion clinic might well be the recipients of Obama's first official pardon.

See http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,488644,00.html

Obama's Stimulus Bill is a War on Prayer

2009-02-04T11:46:00.000-08:00

The provision bans money designated for school renovation from being spent on facilities that allow "religious worship." It has ignited a fury among critics who say it violates the First Amendment and is an attempt to prevent religious practice in schools.

According to the bill, which the Democratic-controlled House passed despite unanimous Republican opposition, funds are prohibited from being used for the "modernization, renovation, or repair" of facilities that allow "sectarian instruction, religious worship or a school or department of divinity."

Critics say that could include public schools that permit religious groups to meet on campus. The House provided $20 billion for the infrastructure improvements, of which $6 billion would go to higher education facilities where the limitations would be applied.

"What the government is doing is discriminating against religious viewpoints," said Matthew Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that works to advance religious freedom.

"President Obama's version of faith-based initiatives is to remove the faith from initiative," said Staver, who points out Obama has "a completely different view on faith" from what he said during his presidential campaign.

"He is not the infallible messiah that some thought he would be," Straver said.

Obama's Hope has been Daschled

2009-02-03T13:00:00.000-08:00

Tom Daschle withdrew his nomination for health and human services secretary Tuesday, after fielding mounting criticism over his failure to pay more than $130,000 in taxes.

(Obama's Hope for an easy go at Socialized health care has been Daschled at least for now ...)

Daschle is not the only high-profile nominee to withdraw their name:

Former Gov Bill "Pay to Play" Richardson withdrew his nomination for commerce secretary amid an ethics investigation in New Mexico.

Obama's pick to be the White House's first performance officer, Nancy Killefer, also withdrew her nomination on Tuesday because of her own tax liabilities, namely a $946 tax lien imposed by the D.C. government for failure to pay $298 in unemployment compensation tax on household help.

(LOL ... I guess Daschle wasn't the only Dim not to get Biden's memo that paying taxes is "Patriotic.")

(Why is it that the only two Obama appointees that have had no controversies in their nomination hearings are the only two republicans he has appointed?)

"You have to have a Carter to get a Reagan."

Obama wants to hobble the Defense Department

2009-01-31T15:07:00.000-08:00

Who didn't see this coming?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/30/defense-official-obama-calling-defense-budget-cuts/

We are fighting a war on two fronts that Obama wants to lose. So why not cut the Military Budget?

Obama arrested on drug charges

2009-01-31T08:21:00.000-08:00

Well not the President ... but his half-brother, George Obama was arrested for alleged possession of marijuana on Saturday near his home in a Nairobi shantytown, police said.

According to the local police cheif, George Obama, who is in his 20s and barely knows the president, had one marijuana joint on him.

The youngest of our President's brothers, lives in a shack and earns a dollar a day. "I'm proud of how I live," he told The Associated Press in an interview over the summer. "(The media) are tarnishing the family name."

In President Obama's book "Dreams From My Father," he describes George Obama as "a handsome, roundheaded boy with a wary gaze." I wonder why he didn't invite him to the takeover party?

So anyway, two thoughts come to mind:

First, when BHO's faulty policies lead us head long into the Greater Depression, are all the Dims here in America going to be "proud" to live in a shack and to make a dollar a day? (With the Dims destroying the economy and the mortage industry that just may come try.)

And Second, is George Obama going to start selling his favorite end use product the same way Jimmy Carter's Brother, Billy did with Billy Beer? (I can it now: George Ganja. And George's first add would read something like: "Grown expressly for and with the personal approval of one of world's all-time great pot-smokers - George Obama." And "I had this doobie rolled just for me. I think it's the best I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot. I think you'll like it, too." George Obama.) *

*Yes a few words were changed from the Billy Beer slogan's to make the George Ganja ad.

Well that didn't take long, Mr Obama

2009-01-26T00:37:00.000-08:00

On Saturday morning, the list of subpoenas served by the U.S. Attorney's office in the Governor Rod Blagojevich case was made public. The list included one major surprise for the new administration.

A veritable "who's who" of Obama staffers, surrogates and affiliates were among those served with subpoenas. Put simply, within one week of President Barack Obama's administration taking office, it is already under significant legal scrutiny that will -- at a minimum -- take precious time away from dealing with the country's monumental economic and foreign policy challenges.

And, once again, the mainstream media is AWOL, unwilling to report on this very newsworthy story.

Among those served with subpoenas were:

David Axelrod, Obama's "Karl Rove" and the biggest surprise on the list. Obama's team issued a report in December that said his staff had no "inappropriate contact" with Blago, so the inclusion of Axelrod is a bit of a shock.

Valerie Jarrett, Blago's "Senate Candidate 1", a real estate management executive and political hack of the first order. Her ties to failed and fraudulent real estate deals in Chicago were the subject of numerous investigations and should have instantly disqualified her for any public office.

Rahm Emanuel was already deeply involved in the case with some reports describing as many as 21 conversations with Blago's office during the period in question.

Tony Rezko, Obama's first advocate, fundraiser and adviser, was convicted last year on numerous charges related to kickbacks, and is now awaiting sentencing. Rezko is "cooperating with authorities, FBI Agent Daniel Cain said in an affidavit."

Others served include:

• Patricia Blagojevich, first lady
• River Realty, her former employer

Blago's "Senate Candidate 3", Jan Schakowsky, was not served with a subpoena, but will have some questions of her own to answer in the days to come.

Let's recap, shall we? In the first week, Obama has not cut taxes -- the only proven way to revive the economy -- despite promising to do so for "95% of working Americans" (which was almost certainly a lie, but let's wait and see); signed an order to close Gitmo, certain to make America less safe; and promoted abortion on a global scale.

Oh, and most of his senior staff was served with subpoenas.

I can hardly wait for week two.

Obama's War Crimes

2009-01-25T07:24:00.000-08:00

KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai condemned a U.S. operation that killed 16 Afghan civilians, while hundreds of villagers denounced the American military during an angry demonstration Sunday. Karzai said the killing of innocent Afghans during U.S. military operations "is strengthening the terrorists." (So when are the Dims going to start talking about Obama's war crimes trial?)

And what about the Civilians Obama ordered killed via unmanned spay planes in Pakistan?

Please note I as a member of the Armed forces I support my president just not his policies. (Yeah, I know that sounds as retarded as the Libtards saying they support the troops not the war.)

It takes a Carter to get a Reagan.

2009-01-24T11:38:00.000-08:00

Jimmy Carter was hands down the worst president of the past 50 years, if not of all time. Obama will take that title away from Carter. Maybe it would be good for the country to see how much damage the Democrat/Socialist party can do. That’s how Reagan and the Republicans came roaring back to power in a landslide. Even die hard Democraps couldn’t take another term of Jimmy Carter’s mediocrity.

And thus 1.20.13 will be the end of socialism in America.

But to be honest, it isn't fair to compare Obama to Moa, Lenin, Marx or Carter ... because they all had experience before coming into power

Obama to Honor Islam Martyr

2009-01-22T08:25:00.000-08:00

On the eve of 1348th anniversary of the assassination of Ali ibn Abu Talib, kalief of Islam, Obama plans to issue at least three executive orders and one presidential directive designed to hobble the CIA and undermine national security.

Ali ibn Abu Talib was the cousin and son-in-law of the Muhammad. (For those Obama fans out there: Yes, Muhammad was a cousin fucker and a child molestor.)

Talib was kalief of Islam from 665 until Ibn Muljam (did the world a favor and) assassinated him with a single strike of his poison-coated sword.

Talib his loved by Muslims because of all the "savage unbelievers he had dispatched to Hell with a single blow, of how many villains' villainy he had rid the world." That is why Obama has chosen to honor Talib's Martyrdom.

In Talib's honor, Obama plans to limit the CIA role in protecting the USA, close Gitmo, stop the military from trying "illegal combatants" (AKA terrorist) and give all Jihadists captured on the battlefield the same rights as any US citizen.

Obamas' New Dog?

2009-01-22T01:18:00.000-08:00

Former French President Jacques Chirac was rushed to a hospital after being mauled by his pet dog who is being treated for depression, in a dramatic incident that rattled his wife Bernadette.
The couple's white Maltese Poodle, called Sumo, has a history frenzied fits and became increasingly prone to making "vicious, unprovoked attacks" despite receiving treatment with anti-depressants, said Chirac's wife Bernadette.

"If you only knew! I had a dramatic day yesterday," she told VSD magazine. "Sumo bit my husband!"

Mrs. Chirac, 74, did not reveal where the former president was bitten, but said, "the dog went for him for no apparent reason."

"We were aware the animal was unpredictable and is being treated with pills for depression. My husband was bitten quite badly but he is certain to make a full recovery in weeks."

Chirac was taken to a hospital in Paris where he was treated as an outpatient and later sent home.

The 76-year-old was president of France for 12 years until 2007.

With Hope Obama can Change the dog to be a loving and warm family dog.

And now for some good news:

2009-01-21T23:15:00.000-08:00

Um Caroline (Arm Fat)"Kennedy" Schlossberg um says she is ... you know ... dropping out um of her ...you know ... bid to win ...you know ... the um appointment to ... you know ... the um U.S. Senate seat ... you know ... once held um by her ... you know ... slain um uncle, ... you know ... Bobby Kennedy.

In a ... you know ... statement um released ... you know ... a short um time ago ... you know ... she um says um she um has told ... you know ... New um York Gov. David um Paterson that um she ... you know ... is leaving for ... you know ... personal um reasons.

(I personally believe the reports that she dropped out because she heard Paterson rightly decided not to choose her. You know!)

For you Obama fans: Caroline "Kennedy" Schlossberg announced her bid to fill Billary Clinton's Senate seat and jumped to the top of New York statewide polls in early December. However, her public support waned following a brief upstate New York tour and a few press interviews. (Unlike Senators Clinton or Obama) she was criticized for being reluctant to answer questions, and her lack of knowledge of New York and its issues. She was also mocked nationwide (and on this blog) for her frequent use of "you know" and "um" in interviews.

Hey all you people living outside the USA: Obama wants you to kill your baby

2009-01-21T21:17:00.000-08:00

President Obama (why does saying those two words leave a bad taste in my mouth) will issue an executive order on Thursday reversing the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-govermental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States. (For those Obama fans out there: My hero Ronald Reagan was the 1st President to adopt the policy known as the "Mexico City policy". So, it wasn't Bush's "idea" but it was a good idea and a virtuiluse notion.)

Obama will sign the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized murdering unborn babies in all 50 states.

The policy, known in governmental circles as the "Mexico City policy," requires any non-governmental organization to agree before receiving U.S. funds that they will "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."

The language was announced at the United Nations International Conference on Population in 1984, and was approved by President Reagan and originally drafted by his assistant secretary of state, Alan Keyes. (For those Mindless Obama followers out there Keyes ran unsuccessfully as the GOP nominee against Obama for the U.S. Senate in 2004.)

SPECIAL THANK YOU to Sens. David Vitter and Jim DeMint

On this, my 100th post, I would like to send out a special thank you to Sen. David Vitter, R-La., and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., for voting against Bilary's confirmation as Sec State.

Sen. DeMint, PLEASE continue to voice concerns about foreign donations to Bill Clinton's foundation. And thank you for expressing your concerns about the Clintons' pro-abortion beliefs and please act as a watch dog over their (the Clintons') plans of foreign assistance dollars to fund abortion.

The Hightlight of Obama Inauguration

2009-01-20T12:30:00.000-08:00

Sens. Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd both were removed by emergency medical personnel during President Obama's celebratory inaugural luncheon on Tuesday.

(As a refreasher For you people that voted for Obama: Last summer, the Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor.)

Byrd who is 91 years old, (looks like a penis without a hard on) and in failing health, collapsed during the lunch. News on his condition is still unknown. Roll Call reported that he was the first senator wheeled out of Statuary Hall and was still conscious with a medical team following him as (well a an undertaker).

2 down 55 to go. (For you Obama Supporters I am talking about the 57 Democrat Senators not the 57 States Obama thinks we have in the US.)

Obama the Socialist

2009-01-14T14:46:00.001-08:00

WASHINGTON — Carol Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's choice to be his climate czarina, served until last summer as a member of a socialist organization whose mission is to enact progressive government policies, including toward environmental concerns like climate change.

Browner's name and biography have been scrubbed from the Web site of Socialist International, the umbrella group for 170 "social democratic, socialist and labor parties" in 55 countries. But a photo of Browner speaking in Greece to the group's Congress on June 30 remained in the site's archives.

Browner, formerly the longest serving administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, having served under President Bill Clinton, worked on Socialist International's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which argues that the global community must work collectively to address environmental policies.

President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, failed to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for himself for four years and employed a housekeeper whose immigration documentation lapsed while in his employ.

Obama is Caroline's speach coach?

2009-01-09T16:59:00.000-08:00

Caroline um Kennedy, you know, might need, you know, a speech coach, um, if she, you know, wants, um, to be a, you know, senator.

In a 30-minute session with The News on Saturday, Kennedy punctuated her answers with "you know" more than 200 times. "Um" was fairly constant, too.

Transcripts of her interviews with other media outlets showed the same problem. She said "you know" at least 130 times to The New York Times and more than 80 times on New York 1.

My 2 questions are:

Why does everyone keep calling her Kennedy when her last name is Schlossberg?

And do Obama and Caroline use the same speach coach?

I Guess it's color of your skin or family trees and not words that matter.

The Mustang Ranch and the $850+ billion bail-out.

2009-01-09T16:46:00.000-08:00

Back in 1999, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion, fraud, racketeering and conspiracy and, as required by law, tried to run it.

Within 3 years They failed and it closed in 2002. Now, we are trusting the economy of our country and 850+ billion dollars to a pack of nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze.

Now if that don't make you nervous, what does???

Pay for Play it's the Democrat Party way

2009-01-04T11:55:00.000-08:00

Obama's Change = corruption is now being institutionalized?????

First we had Blago running around looking for all of these small fry donations from the likes of Jesse Jackson Jr. The Bum should have just put it up for bid on ebay ... or for sale on Craig's List.

Richardson's withdrawal is being call the first disruption (of many) of Obama's Cabinet process and the second (of many to come) "pay-to-play" investigation that has touched Obama's transition to the presidency (so far). The president-elect has (so far) remained above the fray in both the case of arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and with the grand jury is looking into possible "pay-to-play" dealings between CDR Financial Products and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. President-elect Barack Obama's commerce secretary on announced that he was withdrawing his nomination amid a grand jury investigation into how some of his political donors won a lucrative state contract (reminds me of how the Clintons do things).

(Speaking of the Clintons.)

The Clinton team has finally released some of the donors and the amounts for the Clinton Library, cigar bar and Massage Parlor, and there over 205,000 donors on their website. The Clintons have ended ten years of resistance to identifying the sources of its money. Saudi Arabia is among the biggest donors to the Clinton Foundation. Blago has been called a piker for peddling influence. The Clinton's make him and Richardson look like a couple of street corner panhandling bums. The Clinton's have obviously been looking to peddle influence, they have gotten tens of millions of dollars from international players. And the the Messiah has named Billary Secretary of State so that the back scratching can continue. Whey else would She be so willing to take a pay cut from Senator to secretary of state????

She's going to go over to sec state, and she's going to be able to continue to scratch the backs of people who have donated to the Clintons' Foundation.

One would have hoped that the Clinton quid pro quo market would have fell apart when Obama won. But by the fool putting Hillary back in as secretary of state the Clintons are once again a good good stock option.

And I can see little ol' Blago in Illinois scratching his head saying, "How the frick did this happen to me? I'm a small fry compared to these guys. The Clintons are are loved and celebrated by the left who thinks they're the greatest politicians come down the pike. Everybody thinks I'm a thief?!"

The Clintons will make tens of millions of dollars from their foundation personally during Hillary's tenure as secretary of state. The money machine just got greased up again.

Speaking of greased up money machines. Caroline (Kennedy) Schlossberg will shore up the financial picture of her family. There's a lot of Kennedys dipping into the Kennedy fortune these days, a lot of Kennedys that don't work. So you need to do something here to make the Kennedys again something to invest in. Blago, if he would just get out of the way in Illinois, the crooks can get back to doing business the way they're used to doing it, and Biden will get his son in as his replacement as a Senator in Delaware, and the beat goes on. So it's politics as usual, it's members of the political class, the Washingtonians getting rich trading on their public service. Most of the people doing this are big-time liberal Democrats. Nobody smells anything odd about it, nobody says a peep about it except when Blago comes along and clumsily exposes how the whole Democrat party operates.

We now know, and we've known for a long time, why they want to get rid of Blago. Blago is an embarrassment. Democrats don't turn on Democrats unless they threaten to expose the whole game, and Blago, in his ineptitude here, you know, $600 grand, $500 grand, sell a Senate seat, working with Jesse Jackson, this is embarrassing, this is chump change to what the Clintons and the Kennedys have going on, and Blago has to go. So as soon as he gets out of the way, as soon as they figure out a way, whatever his price is, they're going to have to meet it 'cause he's in it for that, and then we can get back to the normal culture of corruption that goes on beneath the surface that nobody sees and everybody apparently seems to love because it's Democrats who care about people, who are engaging in it.

One thing, this isn't hope and or change. What this is is bolstering a culture of corruption and an insiders game that has nothing to do with putting the taxpayers of our country first.

Obama's 1st two broken promises

2008-11-27T14:52:00.000-08:00

The honeymoon is certainly not yet over between the Old Media and Barack Obama. It never really ended for Clinton, so one can easily imagine it won't for Obama. But whatever happens in the future, they are still in love with him now. I can say that because Obama has already broken two promises and the media isn't too interested in talking about it. Two promises broken before he even sets his first foot in the White House.

The first broken promise was the one where the candidate of "change" was going to bring a new tone to Washington. This one has been broken by Obama's choice for Chief of Staff: Rahm Emanuel. Representative Emanuel (D- Illinois) is a hard-core, far left, liberal as well as being an old Clinton hack. Not only that, but Emanuel is not a "new tone" kind of guy but is a Pit bull of epic proportions. The parallel would have been McCain claiming a new tone but picking Karl Rove as his Chief of Staff. Emanuel is little different than Terry MCauliffe or Howard Dean in his vehement and vocal attacks on Republicans. So much for the "new tone" Obama claimed he wanted to foster.

And, let us not forget that the candidate of "change" picked Joe Biden as his vice president. Biden is one of the least respected, old timey Senators in Congress with 34 years in office. Not much "change" there, either.

And now comes his second broken promise. Politico reported on November 5 [1] that Barack Obama has stepped back from his claim that lobbyists would not have a place in his new administration.

Despite campaign trail promises that special interests wouldn’t be a part of his administration, President-elect Barack Obama’s has sent signals to the lobbyists that they can get jobs with him.

...the overall message to the lobbying community appears to run counter to the Democratic senator’s campaign promise to keep special interest advocates at arms length.

Once again, the "new" Washington that Barack Obama sold to a willing electorate is quickly turning into the same old Washington that Obama claimed he wanted to "change."

And, folks, can we take just a moment to remember that he has only been president elect for four days! In four days he's already stepped back from the supposedly monumental "change" he kept warbling on about since 2004. Four years of talking about "change" hasn't even given us four days to enjoy it before it all starts to become business as usual.

Tell me, does THIS sound like "change"...

"The rush is on," he said. "There are thousands and thousands of people (lobbyists) who are desperate for these jobs."

So far, after only four measly days, the names have changed but the story remains the same

Nobama Blog Burst 10/28/2008

2008-10-28T00:04:00.001-07:00

Presidential Character

Some people argue that domestic issues are of far greater importance than any discussion of character. I could not disagree more. All elections are about character. If we cannot trust the honor, patriotism, and fidelity of our elected representatives, then the issues don’t matter because whatever a candidate of low character shall say about political issues cannot matter.

I believe we each must consider the character of the two men who want us to elect them as our next president. Some may argue “What more is there to know about either candidate?” after a campaign that has lasted far too long. Ordinarily, at this point in the campaign, I would say, “nothing more.” Except in this election, “We the People” have found the press (as guardians of American democracy) seriously deficient. Rather than remaining impartial, the media has fallen head-over-heels in love with one of the candidates; we must excuse them from the jury of the court of public opinion. This year, the American people have not witnessed a fair trial.

Samuel Adams once said, "The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men,” but this was long before the Obama Era. Political correctness and liberal bias have led us to outcries of racism for even asking questions not even remotely related to race.. The press castigated our friend “Joe the Plumber” for daring to ask about income redistribution. According to one radio report, the Secret Service visited a woman because she told an Obama Campaign worker that she would vote for Barack Obama, “over her dead body.” This kind of attention applied to citizens for merely expressing an opinion is patently un-American, but it is also reminiscent of the intimidation used to silence dissent in communist countries. Character matters all right, especially if suppression of the right of expression is what we can expect from an Obama presidency.

In order to assess the character of our presidential contenders, we must decide upon an appropriate exemplar. On the democratic side of the aisle, the obvious notables are Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. Jefferson may be too far back in time to serve as our role model. Roosevelt was a patent socialist. Truman left office as one of the most unpopular of all our presidents. Lyndon Johnson gave us too many scars. Mr. Carter was a buffoon and Bill Clinton . . . well, I wonder if we aren’t just a little too tired of hearing about him. Kennedy seems to qualify as the best Democratic Party exemplar, even if he was a womanizer; no one is perfect.

In the twentieth Century, notable Republican presidents have included Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan. Of these, Roosevelt was impetuous, Eisenhower cautious, Nixon resigned in disgrace, and Reagan was the great communicator. I therefore propose Reagan as our Republican Party exemplar.

In 1961, John Kennedy issued this mandate to the American people: “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” John Kennedy became the darling of the American people; many around the world shared this view. We called his presidency Camelot. He was young, relatively inexperienced, but he excited the people about America’s future. He believed in the rights of man, a strong national defense, and the protection of liberty throughout the world. He believed that nuclear deterrence was insufficient to maintain peaceful coexistence. He believed the United States should be a beacon of hope, and he argued for increased world trade. He sought to achieve working partnerships with other world leaders to achieve dignity, justice, and liberty for all the people of the world. He sought to attain solidarity among the western (Atlantic) nations; he refuted communism as doomed to failure. He set forth an economic policy of unshackled enterprise, industrial leadership, and vibrant capitalism. He sought to lower interest rates in order to increase the flow of money, reduced government spending, and lower taxes. He also vowed to help small businesses through government loans and fair trade policy. Mr. Kennedy was a fiscal conservative.

Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat. He said, “I didn’t leave my party; my party left me.” We assume he spoke about the party of John Kennedy, a platform designed to inspire the American people to greatness. This was also the platform of Ronald Reagan. He repudiated the policy of Jimmy Carter; looking forward, he said, “Democratic politicians are without programs or ideas to reverse economic decline and despair. They are divided, leaderless, unseeing, uncomprehending, they plod on with listless offerings of pale imitations of the same policies they have pursued so long, knowing full well their futility.”

Reagan brought the American people a new pride in their country and themselves, their achievements and future possibilities. He wanted the American people to have liberty and freedom of choice, low taxes as a catalyst for economic growth. He repudiated the so-called Great Society because it created low human productivity. He fought for an expansion of private property ownership, committed himself to improved economic opportunities for black Americans, rights and equality for every minority, and equal opportunities for women. He was committed to the rights of unborn children.

Modern Democrats have turned Kennedy’s ideal upside down; now the cry is “Ask what your country can do for you.” Today’s Democrat pursues the politics of dependency, the essential breaking point between civil rights leaders Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jesse Jackson. King wanted black Americans to realize the reality of equality, while Jackson’s policies pursue racism, separatism, and demands for greater gifts from the government. King wanted black Americans judged according to their character; Jackson views character as secondary concern because the means justifies the end. King fought for unity, Jackson has dedicated his entire life to reverse-segregation.

Modern Republicans have broken faith with the American people. They broke their Contract with America. Much of what has happened since mid-2005 is the result of this failure. As a Republican, I bemoan a Democratically controlled Congress, but I realize that men such as Duke Cunningham brought it to fruition. But, before anyone starts gloating, we should note that the United States Congress today has achieved the low point of popular opinion; it cannot possibly get worse. Or, can it?

It is time to ask ourselves where Barack Obama and John McCain stand with regard to our exemplars of presidential character. We should assume that “Country First” is a sentiment that every patriotic American deeply subscribes; that all of us want to see positive changes for the future. That said, let us dispense with bumper-sticker ideology, and investigate the actual character of each candidate. Let us consider the deeds of these men rather than their words.

Before announcing his candidacy for the highest office, Barack Obama associated himself with socialist organizations, a peculiar philosophy that supports state or collective ownership of all property and the means of production. Since we achieve personal and national wealth through property and the means of production, Mr. Obama apparently believes than an egalitarian society is only possible when the state controls property and wealth. By extension, the State will distribute wealth according to its own priorities, and the State will achieve this through any number of programs, including taxation. Socialist programs relieve individuals of responsibility, for themselves, and for their families. We see this clearly in Mr. Obama’s platform;

Economic Policy

• An immediate energy rebate to American families

• An expenditure of $50 billion to jumpstart the economy

• Federal assistance to states and localities in education, health care, and infrastructure

• Implement the Congressional housing bill through state and local spending

• Federal investment in infrastructure to replenish highways and bridges

• Expenditures in education to replace and repair schools

• Immediate steps to stem the loss of manufacturing jobs.

• Increase employment and implementing shared prosperity.

• National health care initiatives

We should perhaps note at this point that governments do not create wealth, people do. Governments may facilitate productivity through sound economic policy, but they cannot interfere in a market economy without significant disruption to capitalist investment and diminishing personal and corporate income and profits. Barack Obama’s socialist platform is anathema to Kennedy’s economic philosophy, and may be unparalleled since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. Simply stated, responsible government cannot spend more than anticipated revenues, and it is contrary to American values to redistribute income in a free-market environment.

John McCain is a moderate conservative approximating John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. He believes that the Constitution of the United States limits the role of the federal government, and he strives to work with the Congress within a constitutional framework to improve government efficiency and reduce waste. Like Kennedy and Reagan, McCain believes that lower taxes improve productivity, and that reduced spending is fiscally responsible and economically necessary. While there are some things the federal government must do, other projects constitutionally fall within the purview of the 50 states. National defense and homeland security is something the federal government must do, but the central government must form partnerships with the states on other important human-services programs. Reflected in Mr. McCain’s platform:

Economic Policy

• Implement immediate transparency to the budgeting process

• Evaluate and reduce spending on wasteful and inefficient programs

• Empower states to improve public services

• Implement meaningful (and trustworthy) oversight of government programs

• Make government more efficient and responsive to citizen’s needs

• Prioritize spending to improve and safeguard America’s infrastructure

• Modernize Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid Programs

• Restore Social Security to a sound financial basis

• Expand opportunities to promote personal and industrial prosperity

Of these two men, which has the greatest character? Which of these candidates maintains faith with our founding principles of Constitutional Federalism, a steady hand on the tiller of state, while allowing individuals to choose for themselves their best course? John McCain is not a perfect man, nor is he without justifiable criticism of his previous positions; but John McCain is an open book. His service to his country and his associations has been honorable, and trustworthy.

Barack Obama has not been honest and forthright with the American people. He has hidden his past associations or played them down. He has defamed religious teaching through adherence to black separatist theology and racism, consorted with known terrorists, and enjoys the backing of organizations harmful to the interests and the people of the United States. As an advocate of socialist/Marxist ideology, Barack Obama is frankly, in our judgment, un-American. He falls far short of exemplars such as John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

Character matters because our nation is facing crises on several critical fronts. If we intend to resolve these problems, we must have the steady hand of true statesmanship. We must have in our president wisdom, experience, honesty, fidelity, and valor. Our president must be a man whose character is consistent with our Nation’s legacy of liberty and equality.

Every presidential election brings forth professional pundits who tell us that this election is the most important of our entire lifetime. This time, they could be right. Our selection of the right man will assure our children, and theirs, of a nation dedicated to individual liberty, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness. If we choose the wrong man, we may very well witness an end to the United States as created by our forefathers. We are living in perilous times — there is no room for error in our selection of the 44th President of the United States.

On Election Day, one of these candidates will receive a majority of popular votes. In December, the Electoral College will validate the popular vote and confirm the identity of our next president. But this election is more than a referendum on the ability of the American voter to discern between two well-educated men. This election is rather a test of America’s ability to distinguish and reward personal character and to recognize integrity and statesmanship between one man who possesses these qualities and the other who does not.

We urge Americans to vote for John McCain. There simply is no other choice that is good for the American people, or our great country.

Why it doesn't pay to offend REDNECKS!

2008-10-23T19:04:00.000-07:00

Kmart filed bankruptcy, Rosie went off the air and Rep John Murtha is going to lose his re-election bid ... all because they offened REDNECKS.

Rep. John Murtha, who recently called constituents in his western Pennsylvania town "racist" because Barack Obama may not win big there, is 4 points ahead of his Republican challenger, retired Army Lt. Col. William Russell, within the Susquehanna Poll's 4.9-point margin of error.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ordered the poll of 400 likely voters on Tuesday as discussion centered on Murtha's comments. The 18-term Democratic congressman apologized for his initial statement by saying he meant only that skin color will be a factor in the race between Obama and John McCain. Murtha later said many Western Pennsylvanians were "rednecks" until recent years.

Russell, who served in Iraq, is the first challenger to give Murtha a run for his money in years. His campaign told the newspaper it was buoyed by another statistic in the poll -- the 54 percent of voters who said it's time someone else represented them in Congress. Thirty-five percent say Murtha, a Vietnam veteran, should be re-elected.

The poll comes as internal polling leaked from the Obama camp showed the Democratic candidate only 2 points ahead of McCain in the Keystone State, suggesting the race is much closer than the Quinnipiac poll out Thursday that shows Obama with a 13-point lead in the state.

Pennsylvania voted for Democrat John Kerry in the 2004 election, but is seen as one of the few blue states that could swing red this year. McCain has spent considerable time in the state.

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, a McCain supporter, said a lot of eyes are on Pennsylvania because of comments like Murtha's, as well as Obama's remarks about spreading the wealth and redistributing income as a means to prosperity.

"That really riles people up and they are citing that everywhere and they are upset about it," Brownback said of Murtha's remarks. "The politicians say, 'This is what I think about you folks here,' and they don't like it and they are fired up about it, and they're getting involved."

An Enigma Named Barack
by L. A. Sunset

We The People, in order to preserve a more balanced reality, are committed to learning the truth and uncovering the obscurity of a presidential candidate; a man long cloaked in a mysterious veil, and one that we presume hides the truth and distorts the true man who is Barack Obama.

Our opposition to Mr. Obama is not a factor of race, ethnic identity, nor even his place of domicile (i.e., Chicago); it is rather about his past associations, his character, his judgment, and his vision for the future of the United States of America. We believe that these are valid questions and concerns, that the American press has failed to address them in an honest and forthright manner, and that the American people have the right to know the answers to several questions.

Despite rhetoric designed to mislead and misinform the American voter, such as that Barack Obama is a political centrist; that he sincerely wants to change politics inside the beltway; and/or there is hope for a new day under an Obama administration, the issue of his past associations, statements, and activities demand greater scrutiny. We have learned that Mr. Obama’s associations have deep roots within the modern socialist movement, black separatist theology, known ties to anti-Jewish/Pro-Muslim persons, and Chicago-styled machine-politics. We believe that when combined these radical elements present a clear and present danger to American social tradition and every citizen’s quest for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The “A” list of Mr. Obama’s associates includes (but is not limited to):

William Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist, who by his own admission assures us that he did not participate in enough acts of terror to advance his cause properly, has achieve national attention.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose vile condemnations of “white America” entertained Mr. Obama for twenty years.

Rev. Louis Farrakhan (born: Louis Eugene Walcott) who, as the leader of the Nation of Islam is a racist, a black separatist, a homophobe, and an anti-Semite.

Barack Obama joined with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi supporting Raila Odinga in his bid to become president of Kenya. Odinga’s political defeat resulted in Muslim violence, burning churches, murdering 1,000 anti-Odinga voters, and renewed demands for the imposition of Shari’ah Law.

Abongo (Roy) Obama, the brother of Barack, is a former Christian now radical Muslim convert, supporter of Cousin Raila Odinga. Roy Obama wants to institute Shari’ah law, wants Barack Obama to convert back to Islam and, as an American president, adopt anti-Israeli policies.

Moussa Marzook is a member of Hamas and author of the Hamas Manifesto, first published in the Los Angeles Times and later reprinted and sold by Jeremiah Wright from the vestibule of Trinity United Church of Christ. Mr. Marzook was indicted by the United States government on issues relating to foreign terrorist activities inside the United States of America. Hamas endorsed Barack Obama for the American presidency in April 2008.

Tony Rezko gave financial backing to Barack Obama early in his to-date short-lived political career. Even though Mr. Obama plays down the association with Mr. Rezko, it is difficult to ignore that the facts prove differently. (See also: Allison Davis, below)

Nadhmi Auchi is linked to Barack Obama through Tony Rezko. He is an Iraqi born billionaire who the U. S. government claims operated as a bagman for Saddam Hussein. He is a London-based financier, one of the world’s richest men. In 2003, he was convicted of fraud involving the “Elf Affair,” Europe’s largest scandal since the end of World War II.

Allison Davis, former employer of Barack Obama, who later closed his law firm and became a partner of Tony Rezko. Davis assigned Mr. Obama to legal work on behalf of Mr. Rezko.

Rev. James T. Meeks, whom Barack Obama regularly sought for counseling, who served as an Obama delegate at the Democratic Convention and is a long-time political ally, who aided Obama as an influential black supporter, received funding from Tony Rezko. Meeks is known for anti-Jewish and homophobic rhetoric.

Rashid Khalidi, along with William Ayers and Barack Obama, is a former professor at Chicago University. He directs the Palestine Press Agency in Beirut, is an agent of the Arab American Action Network, and according to a top official of former-President George H. W. Bush and a former CIA intelligence officer, former Weather Underground
leader William Ayers funneled money to Khalidi, who maintains ties with the Palestine Liberation Organization. Khalidi also received $70,000 from the Woods Fund, and held fund-raising events in his home on behalf of Barack Obama.

Barack Obama is a former director of The Woods Fund, a non-profit organization that, in addition to its interests in “giving a voice to less advantaged people,” helped funnel money to Rashid Khalidi for the Arab American Action Network, which presumably includes Palestinian interests within the United States. The Woods Fund also helps to finance “community organizing, and public policy.”

Created in 1995 to help raise funds to reform Chicago public schools, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge involved William Ayers as a leading founder, who in turn appointed Barack Obama to its board of directors. Mr. Obama served on the board for
six years. According to investigative journalist Stanley Kurtz, writing for the Wall Street Journal, reforming Chicago public schools is a bid misleading: it was a program designed to radicalize students more than it was to educate them. According to Ayers, “Teachers should be community organizers, dedicated to provoking resistance to American racism and oppression.”

Astute Bloggers has illustrated additional past associations; it is a well-researched expose providing a clear view of what lays just beneath the surface of Obama’s deception. We understand why Mr. Obama would want to play down these associations; we do not understand why the American news media would assist him in doing so. Nevertheless, Astute Bloggers lifts the veil on two well-known groups: The New Party, and the Chicago Democrat Socialists of America. Let's take a closer look.

The New Party is an obscure, lesser-known political group. It practices a political strategy called electoral fusion, which entails placing a political candidate on several lines of the same ballot. An example of how electoral fusion works is located at this page; look for the lead “Vote your values,” two-thirds of the way down on the right-hand side of the page. Once a candidate receives the support of Democratic kingmakers, and if the New Party feels the candidate will serve their socialist cause, they will add the candidate's name more than once in order to gain votes that are more popular. From the above link:

The New Party is an umbrella organization for grassroots political groups working to break the stranglehold that corporate money and corporate media have over our political process.

Our current work and long-term strategy is to change states' election rules to allow fusion voting - a method of voting that allows minor parties to have their own ballot line with which they can either endorse their own candidates or endorse the candidates of other parties. Through fusion, minor parties don't have to always compete in the winner-take-all two party system and can avoid "spoiling" - throwing an election to the most conservative candidate by splitting the votes that might go to two more progressive candidates (ours and another party's).

Not surprisingly, “community organizing” is the bedrock of The New Party; socialist progressivism is their ideology. The Chicago chapter maintains a close relationship to the Associations of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). According to this 1996 publication, Barack Obama is clearly affiliated with The New Party

Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last spring and face off against Republican opponents on Election Day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate), and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).

Note: Readers familiar with Chicago politics will recognize the names of former Chicago mayor Danny Davis on that list also.

From this evidence, we begin to understand the role electoral fusion played in Mr. Obama’s rapid rise to political power.

Chicago Democrat Socialists of America pursues socio-political programs implied by the title of their organization, but even this organization is more than meets the eye. Cornel West, while serving as an Honorary Chair to Chicago DSA penned a remarkably revealing essay entitled Toward a Socialist Theory of Racism. Chicago DSA and Dr. West were particularly interested in Barack Obama because of his New Party affiliation, his success in running for State senator, and the strategies he employed, to wit: “Barack Obama, victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration.”

Well, so what if Barack Obama peaks the interest of the Chicago DSA? It is important because no one backs a dark-horse candidate unless there is a chance he will win, and/or there is a reasonable expectation for a return of political capital. In an article entitled, The End of Liberalism socialist author Daniel Cantor wrote, “A massive Times-Mirror poll registered 53% of the public in favor of a ‘major third party,’ so there's no doubt that the soil is fertile. Among the hopeful contenders is the ‘New Party,’ one of a handful of newly forming independent, progressive parties in the country. New Party chapters have backed 93 candidates in nine states over the last eighteen months and won 62 elections.” An index of New Party political propaganda is available, here.

Daniel Cantor, of course, is the executive director of New York’s Working Families Party, another socialist group with chapters in Connecticut and Oregon. He urges socialists, “Vote Your Values.” This would appear to be good advice for everyone with values.

John Nichols writes for The Nation, a politically progressive publication. Nichols is a well-established writer, perhaps best known for ad nausium demands for the impeachment of George W. Bush for war crimes and other frivolous reasons; so much for his credibility.

Taken by themselves, none of these concerns will alter the course of human history. After all, as Americans, we encourage political and social discourse; we value the right of everyone to express an opinion, no matter how insane that opinion may be, and all of us have the right to associate with anyone we choose. Yet it is instructive to note that socialist radicals have completely infiltrated the Democratic Party, and we need no further proof than the inane rhetoric emanating from every Democrat in the House and Senate. The concern expressed in this essay is not that other ideas are unworthy of debate; it is rather that Barack Obama freely decided to associate with dangerously radical and disreputable influences and he now seeks to hide those associations.

Why would he do that? Barack Obama wants to become our next president; he knows that most Americans repudiate Marxist/socialist ideology; he is aware that if most voters begin to see the real Barack Obama, John McCain will win the election. But we believe that Barack Obama has been dishonest with American voters who are capable of thinking. We believe he has taken advantage of Americans voters who are incapable of thinking. We believe that if Mr. Obama stepped up to a microphone and told us what he really believes, he would be lucky to win the post of an Animal Control Specialist.

Honesty, truthfulness, clarity, judgment, motivation, patriotism, and common sense are all important attributes for the office of the President of the United States. We do not believe that Barack Obama has any of these qualities. And, if Mr. Barack Obama has been less than truthful about his associations, what makes anyone think we can trust his campaign promises, his vision for America? The fact is that every man is free to associate with whomever he pleases; but this does not protect any man from judgments about those associations. We believe that the sheer weight of Mr. Obama’s involvement with questionable individuals and organizations will lead a reasonable person to query both his judgment and motivation for nefarious associations.

We the People of the United States, who are also a loose confederation of bloggers, categorically reject Barack Obama for president. He is a radical socialist, he is a black separatist, a racist, he harbors pro-Muslim/Anti-Jewish sentiments and associates, he identifies with homophobes, convicted swindlers, known terrorists, creative financiers, and he has already signaled his willingness to sacrifice National Security for a dialogue with Muslim fanatics.

We cannot vote for this man. We urge you to join us in defeating Barack Obama. So say us one, so say us all.

OBAMA/BIDEN ECONOMIC PLAN A FRAUD

The media and candidates assure us that the number one issue in the minds of prospective voters is the economy, so this week we will address that issue; and we’ll do it clearly and concisely. Two concerns right off the mark: (1) If Americans are nervous about the economy, why on earth would they turn to a Democrat for help? (2) If Americans are nervous about the economy, have you heard Barack Obama say anything beyond vague election-year promises?

We don’t want to waste any time on adolescent bantering, but the truth is that our present economic conditions are a direct product from the seeds of eight-years of Bill Clinton. It is also true that Congressional Republicans failed to deliver on their contract with America . And now let’s get down the brass tacks.

With everything going on in your everyday life, you don’t have the time, and probably not the inclination to spend hours sifting through, and thinking about the Obama/Biden Economic Plan. Neither do the authors of that website, apparently. After considering tens of thousands of words of gibberish, what we found are volumes of proposals, policies, programs, and promises, and less than 10% of these ideas come close to responsible or prudent. And this is apparent at the very beginning. According to Mr. Obama:

Wages are Stagnant as Prices Rise: While wages remain flat, the costs of basic necessities are increasing. The cost of in-state college tuition has grown 35 percent over the past five years. Health care costs have risen four times faster than wages over the past six years. And the personal savings rate is now the lowest it's been since the Great Depression.

Tax Cuts for Wealthy Instead of Middle Class: The Bush tax cuts give those who earn over $1 million dollars a tax cut nearly 160 times greater than that received by middle-income Americans. At the same time, this administration has refused to tackle health care, education and housing in a
manner that benefits the middle class.

In laying his predicate, Obama wastes our time with what we already know. In 1954, a loaf of bread cost five-cents. In fifty-five years, prices have increased; but I also know that back then, my father earned $60 a month; when he retired in 1972, he earned over $3,000 a month. Next, Obama typically engages in Marxist class-warfare, a classic saw within the Democratic platform. The facts tell us something else. According to U. S. Treasury Department, taxpayers in the top half of income paid 96% of the total income tax revenues. In future years, the percentage of income tax paid by middle class citizens who fall into the bottom half of income earnings will be less than 4% of the total. That presumes, of course, that Barack Obama is defeated in this election. So it would seem that Mr. Obama is being dishonest. If the American people elect Barack Obama to the presidency, taxes will increase across the board. And the proof of this is that Barack Obama cannot increase government spending AND provide meaningful tax cuts to “95% of the American workers.”

Barack Obama claims that he has a plan to jumpstart the economy — and he plans to do this by giving “something back” to Americans. At the very outset, he wants to tax oil company profits to give American families a $1,000 rebate. Now if you lack critical thinking skills, this sounds great. History tells us that government does not exist to give us money; in fact, the opposite is true. Every “benefit” costs the American worker money. But now consider, if these funds come from the “greedy oil companies,” what is the likely consequence to the cost of gasoline and heating oil? By the end of the first year, Obama’s rebate checks might offer consumers with a “break even” scenario.

He also wants to give $50 billion to state and local governments so that each of us can have access to health, education, housing, heating fuels, as an offset to property taxes. Forget that federal grants do not offset state, county, or municipal taxes, but do think about this: his allocation of one-billion dollars to each state, if distributed on a per-capita basis, is a laughable benefit. In California , the per-capita share of one-billion dollars is $27.35, and in Pennsylvania , it comes to $80.43. Once again, Barack Obama is following the example of Bill Clinton in 1991 — promises made, promises broken.

Obama wants to provide “a tax cut” to middle class Americans. This is what he wrote:

Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama and Biden will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama and Biden will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.

Mr. Obama is not going to cut taxes. It is impossible to cut taxes for 150 million Americans — half of our entire population, when he in fact intends to increase spending by $3 Trillion. Our grandfather might have noted, “This dog won’t hunt.” Additionally, ten million Americans is roughly three percent of our population, so at this point we must ask, “Who benefits most from the Obama plan?” The answer is, “Not the average American.”

Barack Obama and Joe Bide believe that foreign trade should strengthen the American economy; it should create more jobs for Americans. Obama vows to “fight for fair trade,” which means that he will erect trade barriers that will make imported goods more expensive, and domestic made goods less appealing to foreign consumers. How does this help “jump-start” the economy? The answer is it doesn’t. Two issues come to mind. The first is, think about an increase in the retail cost of Chinese-made “junk” you find on the shelves at Wal-Mart. Second, what will happen to American jobs when foreign buyers no longer purchase domestic-made goods? Does Obama have a realistic goal for our economy? No, he does not.

Several years ago, a thoughtful schoolteacher noted the following: when her school district gave teachers a raise, there was a direct and immediate increase in the cost of food, utilities, clothing, fuel, and medical and dental costs. She noted that if her new salary was a modest increase of four percent, the cumulative weight of increased costs across the board resulted in an income loss. Now, Barack Obama wants to “reward” companies with tax breaks when they pay their workers a “decent wage.” We don’t know what “decent wage” means, but we do understand Barack Obama’s very first statement: “Wages are stagnant as prices rise.” We also understand that Obama does not have a solution to a problem he identified as a national problem.

To bolster manufacturing, Barack Obama will create an “Advanced Manufacturing Fund.” The first intelligent question is, “What is that?” The next question should be, “Where will the money come from?” The answer to the first question is it is another costly government bureaucracy. Another government program, another layer of inefficiency added to the federal government. The answer to the second question is simple: it will come from the pockets of the American worker. Is this what Americans want? Does anyone honestly trust Obama with a flagging American economy?

To simplify the process of investigating the Obama Economic Plan, we’ve compiled the following chart. It will take just a few minutes to review it, and the reader can investigate further at the Obama website. But the sheer weight of this information demonstrates that Barack Obama’s Economic “break for Americans” is a fraud.

Note 1: Job training programs are vital to ensuring that young people entering the work place for the first time are qualified to find and maintain good paying and rewarding jobs/careers. We concur that retraining is a necessary step for workers laid off in a dwindling industry, but we also think that an increase in vocational/technical training as an adjunct of public education makes sense for 70% of high school students. Most educators regard such programs as invalid, but the absence of such programs explains why our dropout rates are so high within the public education sector.

None of the foregoing should surprise; these are economic programs an we can expect an avowed communist to support. The question really is, having won the cold war, do the American people now want to put a communist in the White House? We should make no mistake: Barack Obama has been a communist at least since 1991 . . . more illusive deception on his part . . . and none of these programs are the right fit for the United States of America.

Again, vote NO Obama, and vote NO for socialist members of Congress seeking reelection.

We cannot oppose Barack Obama without also opposing the party he represents, along with Republicans who enable socialist engineering. Barack Obama is not the only socialist who seeks elective office in November.

Why do we oppose Barack Obama? As comedian Jackie Mason recently reminded us, Barack Obama is popular because of the way he looks, the way he talks, and the way he presents himself – but remember that’s his field of expertise. His primary accomplishments include looking good, lying with a straight face, and associating himself with powerful radical activists. When you think about it, he is exactly who un-American liberals want living in the White House. Last week, we argued that Barack Obama is an empty suit. This week, we should admit the suit isn’t completely empty … there are dangerous, anti-American forces at work within the Obama election infrastructure.

It is difficult to fathom the arrogance of someone who, after only 143 days in the U. S. Senate, announces he is ready to assume the mantle of the presidency. And what is it exactly that causes this egotism? It may be that Barack Obama has cleverly orchestrated a sophisticated behind-the-scenes mechanism designed to create conditions favorable to his election. It is a cooperative of followers of (anarchist) Saul Alinsky, busily implementing the so-called “The Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis.” According to The Nation magazine (1966), “The ‘Cloward-Piven Strategy’ seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”

American Thinker illustrates the workings of this scheme in the following graph; one that demonstrates a well-funded program centered around George Soros’ Open Society Institute, managed by former SDS member Aryeh Neler, and facilitated by the now infamous Associations of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) (Note: Associations … plural). With 28 days to the National Elections, we do seem suddenly plagued with one financial catastrophe after another. Government bureaucracy is definitely overloaded, and society is being pushed into a sense of crisis. Fact, or fiction … the reader can decide for him or her self. But if it is only partially true, the implications present us with unsettling possibilities.

We are used to political organizations, such as the Democratic and Republican Party; but no one outside the radical left can be comfortable with an organization such as this. And if Barack Obama’s ego causes him to believe that he is brighter than most, and that he is ready to assume the mantle of the presidency … he could be correct – no one so far has been smart enough to figure out what is happening behind the scenes. Few mainstream journalists have seriously evaluated Obama’s connection to the anti-American, radical left; not the so-called conservative press, not the Republican Party, and none of the self-styled America-first organizations.

Barack Obama is dangerous for other reasons, too. On the one hand, it is possible to dismiss the junior senator as one of those people with advance degrees, lacking common sense. We can say that he is able to quote Marxist and anarchist rhetoric, but lacks a concomitant real world understanding of the implications of such radical ideas. But there is yet another possibility: Barack Obama knows exactly what he is doing. He knows precisely where he wants to take this country. And no one who understands this man’s motivations can feel comfortable with that perspective.

Barack Obama’s radicalism, thinly disguised by his subtle move to the political center-left, clearly repudiates everything America stands for. Conservative Americans may find themselves baffled by a man who professes love for the United States, but who then seeks to institute radical Marxist changes in government, in our courts, and within society … but not if we are watching and listening carefully to the Obama rhetoric. If we have not already dismissed common sense concern for his radicalism, if we have not already accepted Obama’s mild protestations of innocence, then we can recall the words of Jeremiah Wright on the pulpit (“g-damn America”) and we can say, “There is the real Barack Obama.” If we can focus on the obvious, we can draw a direct line between Jeremiah Wright’s church and the Black Racist ideology of the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan – both of whom engage in the radicalization of the black community, then we know the real man behind the deceptively “empty suit.” The underlying, important question is, “Are Americans Paying Attention?”

By pursuing his radical, anti-American agenda, Barack Obama repudiates everything America stands for … and his rejection of our traditional values extends well beyond the sophomoric debate between capitalists and socialists, even if not altogether irrelevant. The United States is a great nation today because of our traditional values. Our forefathers rejected big government, and they were able to raise their families without having to rely on the mistaken notion that “Only a village can raise a child.” They avoided personal indebtedness, preferring to live within their means, and they denounced the idea that government is entitled to their hard-earned income. In the past, we celebrated entrepreneurial spirit; today we demean it. Today, encouraged by the poison of materialism and socialist entitlement programs, America is a nation of debtors; ever the opportunist, Barack Obama and his radical left organization is taking full advantage of our social and individual indolence.

Let us not forget that government largess feeds upon itself. Marxists use government to redistribute wealth; it is the great equalizer ensuring everyone is equally miserable. Obama is using Alinsky’s “community activism” to achieve that power, and socialist ideology to maintain it. We stand in opposition to Barack Obama and his machine politics because we reject Marxist/socialist government. It strips people of their individualism, their dignity, and their will to resist subjugation, but this is the goal of an Obama administration, gift wrapped with empty promises. In our view, Barack Obama is willing to do anything to achieve his objectives, legal or not. We categorically reject him as a new-age messiah, and we stand united against his anti-American programs and policies.

Our question to Obama supporters remains unanswered: “How is it possible to love America, and support Barack Obama?” The horror of radical left/Marxist ideology is Obama’s consistent and unfettered promise for America. It is why we oppose him. It is why we urge our readers to vote NO to Obama and NO to socialists in Congress.

Pelosi once again show she's corrupt

2008-10-01T13:14:00.000-07:00

Two Faced BitcHouse Speaker Pelosi Used Political Donations to Pay Husband's Firm

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid her husband's real estate and investment firm nearly $100,000 from her political action committee over the past decade, a practice that she voted to ban last year and that her party condemned as part of the "culture of corruption" when Republicans did it.

The Washington Times is reporting that the California Democrat's husband, Paul F. Pelosi, owns Financial Leasing Services Inc., which has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.

Last year, Pelosi supported a bill that would have banned members of Congress from putting spouses on their campaign staffs. The bill banned not only direct payments by congressional campaign committees and PACs to spouses for services including consulting and furndraising, but also "indirect compensation," such as payments to companies that employ spouses.

The bill passed the House in a voice vote but died in a Senate committee.

Last week, Pelosi's office defended the payments, saying "Do as I say not as I do." and "You are a sexist for pointing out that she has no ethics."

Ethical watchdogs called Pelosi's arrangement "problematic."

Biden's latest gaf in his ever increasing series of gafs

2008-09-23T18:45:00.000-07:00

Set the Way-back Machine for 1929 ...

In today's Episode of the "Peabody's Improbable History" Professor Peabody will be paid by Joe "Gaf Machine" Biden and his pet boy Sherman will be played by Barrack Hussein Obama. (Ok so that's a atrocious pun and it's meant in the spirit of the shockingly tasteless puns that each of the 91 original episodes.)

Barack Obama’s Washington insider running mate, Joe "Gaf Machine" Biden said “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened,”‘

Vice presidential candidate Joe "Gaf Machine" Biden thinks today’s leaders should take a lesson from the history books and follow fellow Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt’s response to a financial crisis.

OK, as a student of history, Biden had me confused and thinking maybe my 5th grade US History teacher had made some mistakes but I reminded myself this is the running mate of the man that thinks we have "57 states" plus Alaska and Hawaii and one other. It's Obvious which "leaders" need to do some remedial studies when it comes to history.

In case you are not convinced I will spell it out for you. Biden attended the University of Delaware in Newark, where by his own later description he was a lazy student. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in history and political science in 1965, ranked 506th of 688 in his class. (In the Bottom 25% of his class) He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968,] where by his own description he again underperformed and ranked 76th of 85 students. (in the Bottom 15% of his class). During his first year there, he was accused of having plagiarized 5 of 15 pages of a law review article. Biden said it was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and Biden was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F, which was subsequently dropped from his record.

Although, I am sure Biden's words made for good TV and the Democrats ate up his pandering. It, like most of Obama's Speeches and ads, was full of factual errors and mis-statements’. (Down South we call those things lies.)

The problem is, Herbert Hoover was in office when the stock market crashed in October 1929 not FDR. AND There also was no television at the time; TV wasn’t introduced to the public until a decade later, at the 1939 World’s Fair.

FDR was elected three years later when voters denied Hoover a second term. The FDR appealed to the “forgotten man” by promising a “new deal” to solve the Depression era.

So, I guess we can assume that either Joe Biden does not know History, or has some how invented his own Way-Back Machine and is going to change things.

Either way, I can't wait to see Palin mop the floors with Biden in the VP debate and use his words against him. "Part of what a leader does is instill confidence and demonstrate that he or she knows what he is talking about and communicates with people that 'if you listen to me and do what I'm saying we can fix this." Then in the very next breath he proves that he doesn't know what the flux he is talking about. Classic Mr Peabody …err… I meant Biden.

Biden isn't patriotic

2008-09-19T10:40:00.000-07:00

Wow...I guess Biden isn't patriotic...

Well that is exactly what Joe Biden said: "lets be patriotic and give money to those less fortunate." How dare him! Isn't charity the same thing; giving to the less fortunate. Very patriotic giving to those with less. Well here are the figures of charitable contributions from the Bidens's as reported on his last 10 tax returns about his charitable givings. Are you serious!! What a lame ass excuse for human being.

THE BIDENS CHARITABLE GIVINGS

Adjusted
Gross Income Charity
1998 $215,432 $195
1999 $210,797 $120

So, what is a billion anyway?

2008-09-16T19:11:00.000-07:00

This is too true to be funny!!

The next time you hear a democrat use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want that idiot spending YOUR tax money.

One billion (1,000,000,000)is a difficult number to comprehend,

So think on this for a minute.

1. One Billion grains of rice weighs 55,250 pounds. (That’s as much as a dozen adult elephants.)

2. One Billion inches equals 15,782.83 miles. (If you drove for One Billion inches how far would you have to travel? Well … if you were to drive from LA to New York and back twice, then drove from LA to Daytona Beach, FL where you drove two full Daytona 500’s then drove to from Daytona to St Louis you would still have to drive about 260 miles to equal One Billion inches.)

3. Stack of One Billion one dollar bills laid one on top of the other would be about 67.9 miles high and would weigh 450,000 pounds.

4. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

5. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

6. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

7. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

8. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (Democrat), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number, what does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.

Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken?!?

We rebelled agaist England over a 0.026% tax on tea.

Now we have:

Accounts Receivable Tax
Building Permit Tax
CDL License Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Dog License Tax
Federal Income Tax
Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)
Fishing License Tax
Food License Tax
Fuel Perm it Tax
Gasoline Tax
Hunting License Tax
Inheritance Tax

IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax),
IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax),

Real Estate Tax,
Service charge taxes,
Social Security Tax,

Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax,
Telephone State and Local Tax,
Telephone Usage Charge Tax,
Utility Tax,
Vehicle License Registration Tax,
Vehicle Sales Tax,
Watercraft Registration Tax,
Well Permit Tax,
Workers Compensation Tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What the heck happened?

This is what happened. Can you say “Tax and Spend” … can you say “Democrats!' can you say it together “Tax and Spend, Democrats!” Yes that’s right I fully blame “Tax and Spend” Democrats for bankrupting the USA under the guise of social reform.

And I still have to 'press1' for English.

I hope this post goes around the USA at least ONE BILLION times

Why I cling to my guns and religion

2008-09-15T22:55:00.000-07:00

(Note to my dim-witted Democrat friends just skip to the last two paragraphs otherwise I'll just confuse you with facts,)

I guess we all remember Barack Hussein Obama, Jr's infamous statement "it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

I have few problems with his statement. One is because it is a general statement that has no qualifying words to modify it to make it true. The word 'some' thrown in would have cut the fuse of the bomb it has become for Barack. Do we need a president that makes errors as simple as this?

Some of my Democrat friends have problems with anyone that believes in any form of higher power. So, I will not get in a debate over the merits of praying to Jesus vice "Fred the lettuce Head" from that old "What's Happening" episode, or how belief in God is as "crazy" as believing in the Keebler Elves. Instead I will simple state that the people of faith I know don't "cling to" religion because they're bitter.

So what about clinging to guns?

Well here are some facts:

All firearms in Brazil are required to be registered with the state (same as here in the USofA.)

The minimum age for ownership is 25. (Varies by state here in the USofA.)

In Brazil it is generally illegal to carry a gun outside your house.( Varies by State here in the USofA.)

The total number of firearms in Brazil is thought to be around 17 million with 9 million of those being unregistered. Some 39,000 people died in 2003 due to gun-related injuries in Brazil. In 2004, that number was 36,000.

Although Brazil has 100 million fewer citizens than the United States, and far more restrictive gun laws, there are 25 percent more gun deaths per year on average. Some sources indicate that homicide rates due to guns are approximately four times higher than the rate in the United States.

Clashes with police killed a record 1,260 civilians in Rio de Janeiro state last year — nearly the same number of all people murdered in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles combined in 2007. The Brazilian tally was in fact likely higher: a third of precincts lacked computers to report any murders.

Brazilian police carried out a "significant proportion" of the 48,000 murders that swept Brazil last year, according to a U.N. report released Monday, casting doubt on the government's ability to curtail drug violence and reign in vigilante militias.

The report by U.N. special envoy on extra-judicial killings Philip Alston said police murder three people a day on average in Rio de Janeiro, making them responsible for one in five killings in the city, which is plagued by drug-gang violence and roving militias of off-duty police.

Why do I bring up this comparison of Brazil and the USofA?

Because, people should not be afraid of their government. Instead the government should be afraid of it's people.

Here is a quote from Adolf Hitler, 1935. "This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future."

What did the founding fathers of the USofA have to say about gun control?

Patrick Henry said "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined."

James Madison said "Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed -- unlike citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust people with arms."

Thomas Paine said "...Arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace."

Noah Webster said "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States..." -

George Mason said "I ask sir, who is the militia? It is the whole people...To disarm the people, that is the best and most effective way to enslave them..."

Are you considering backing gun control laws? Do you think that because you may not own a gun, the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment don't matter?

CONSIDER THIS...

In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, approximately 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million "educated" people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

That places total victims who lost their lives because of gun control at approximately 56 million in the last century. Since we should learn from the mistakes of history, the next time someone talks in favor of gun control, you really should find out which group of citizens they wish to have exterminated.

It has now been over a since gun owners in Australia were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a program costing the government more than $500 million dollars. The results Australia-wide; Homicides are up 3.2%, Assaults are up 8 %, and Armed robberies are up 44%.

In Australia’s state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300%! Over the previous 25 years, figures show a steady decrease in armed robberies and Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns."

It's time to state it plainly; Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives, protect children and property and, yes, gun-control laws only affect the law-abiding citizens. For proof, see Mexico. It's illegal for anyone but the cops to have guns in Mexico. Yet, Mexico's murder rate is almost 5 times as high as the USofA's (25 per 100,000 Mexico vice 5.7 per 100,000 USofA.)

My point?

(Nice of my Democrat friends to rejoin me.)

Basically, I cling to my guns because my second amendment right is the only thing that guarantees me all the other rights our Constitution offers me.

So, why do I cling to my religion? Because my belief in Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, His message of love and forgiveness, the power of prayer and the Sixth Commandment (You shall not kill) are the only things that keep me from using my Second Amendment Right to force my beliefs and my ideas for making this country a better place on others.

Words Matter?

2008-08-26T22:23:00.000-07:00

Barack Obama doesn't belong anywhere NEAR the white house!

That being said, I personally am not a democrat. HOWEVER, after watching Hillary's speech at the DNC, if i were a democrat, i would be angry as hell that Hillary was not the democratic nominee. Hillary supporters have every right to be pissed off. She made a speech that was a million times more presidential than anything that substance-less fraud Obama could ever give, even on his best day.

Its time for everyone to stand up and let everyone know that you do not AND NEVER WILL support Barack Obama for president.

The next couple of months are going to be intense! Let everyone know exactly where you stand!

Why Michelle Obama should not be the First Lady

2008-08-26T13:32:00.000-07:00

In a round about way She's running for first lady of the United States of America. She has also campaigned for Barack all over the country. When you do that, you open the door for people to respond. And Guess what that is what I am about to do.

Barack was asked at the Saddleback Church Forum to name the three people that would most influence his decisions as president. He named his wife (whose hospitial routine kicks out poor blacks that can't pay their bills), his grandmother (who he has refered to as a racist) and Ted Kennedy (the town drunk / ultimate Washington insider).

SO ... Michelle is going to be influencing the ... *cough(B_LLSH_T) cough* President of the United States, I can absolutely talk about and criticize her.

She NOW claims to love her country. Well, She sure has a funny way of expressing that love then. Let's review a few of blessed wife Michelle's greatest "love America" hits:

"For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country" (Speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin February 18th, 2008)

"But we've learned a lot this year, we've learned that when the bar is set sometimes it moves on you…right when you get there…it MOVES! And the irony of it is that's what's been happening to most Americans.
" (Speech in Providence, Rhode Island, clarifying her "proud for first time", remarks)

"In America in 2008, life is not good: we're a divided country, we're a country that is "just downright mean," we are "guided by fear," we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents.
" (March 10th New Yorker)

"Don't go into corporate America.
" (Speech at daycare in Zanesville, Ohio)

"Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual" (Speech in February, 2008)

"Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices, that we are going to have to change our conversation, we're gonna have to change our traditions, our history, we're gonna have to move into a different place as a nation.
" (Campaign speech in Puerto Rico)

2008 DNC Night Day One = Waste of Time

2008-08-26T13:00:00.000-07:00

Is ita surprise that the party that makes a living wasting tax money would waste the first night of their own pep rally.

Democratic Strategist James Carville told CNN that his party is off track and making the same the same mistakes they made at the 2004 convention. (Einstein is credited with having offered this definition of insanity, “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”)

Carville said. "Maybe we are going to look better Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. But right now, we're playing hide the message."

Carville also said the party needs to do a better job of communicating its message to the American people. “If this party has a message it's done a hell of a job hiding it tonight, I promise you that," he said.

The DuNCe has only shown me one thing so far. The Dims are not united at all and that is the only possible result from trying to be all things to all people.

Biden thinks "Obama's not ready to be President"

2008-08-23T07:53:00.000-07:00

During Joe Biden’s failed 2008 run at the Presidency he said of Obama lack of leadership experience that "the White House is no place to learn on the job."

Ironic, no? Given that Obama has one of the thinnest resumes of any serious contender for the White House?

And what could Biden’s defense on this possibly be? That it’s ok now because he’s on the ticket too?

That’s not likely to convince many people. Thank you Obama for picking a VP that supports McCain for President.

"Go Joe" and thanks for your support of Mc Cain and your hours of sound bites that will haunt Obama for yet another ill fated choice for his "Hype and Chance" Campaign.

Ive been reading a lot of news stories that say that Joe Biden will help Obama's chances of becoming president because of his "experience." But whats funny to me is, the guy is 65 years old, only a few years younger than John McCain. So let me get this right: When it comes to McCain, he's "old". And when it comes to Biden, he's "experienced".

The hypocrisy of these people make me sick!

Black hurricanes and stupid democrats

2008-08-21T06:05:00.000-07:00

I checked this on Snopes, it's true and it is so stupid it's funny!

Black hurricanes....Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about.

A black democrat congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston ), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names. She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!

She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, thats too hard to understand.

I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says...Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a crotch rocket! Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE s__t!

Saddleback Civil Forum (My Observations)

2008-08-18T14:56:00.000-07:00

Pastor Rick Warren hosted presidential candidates Barack Hussein Obama and John McCain during a two-hour Saddleback Civil Forum held at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. Pastor Warren asked Obama questions during the first hour, and a session with McCain followed. Below are my observations about questions both candidates had opportunities to address.

Obama offered long-winded answers where he tried to be all things to all people and not offend anybody. McCain showed his true grit with succinct responses followed by anecdotes as time permitted thus allowing to public to see exactly where they stood on the issues and let the chips fall where they may.

This was Obama's first high-profile public appearance after his week long Hawaiian vacation. He appeared first and though apparently in good spirits and rested, Obama was curiously listless, uninspiring. I found Obama's quite simply boring with his legalistic, impersonal responses to deeply personal, profound – and fair – questions from Pastor Rick Warren. McCain, in contrast, was crisp, funny, relaxed, focused, and seemingly genuine. At 71, McCain's energy onstage easily eclipsed the sleepy, Ben Stienish professorial manner of Obama.

McCain was specific and personal in discussing ideas and himself; Obama droned on in stutter- filled generalized, boilerplate banalities that shed no light on the nature of the man speaking. McCain could barely wait for Warren to finish his questions before pouncing and demonstrating an ease in wrapping his mind around any topic; Obama stuttered haltingly, like a drunken buffoon through his hour proving he is is totally lost without a teleprompter. Obama's detachment making him appear more like a merely below-average law professor.

A clear moral center and a clear set of governing principles seemed to emerge organically from McCain, whereas I got the sense that Obama is more comfortable with spirituality and morality as an abstract, intellectual zone where there is no wrong or right, merely a variety of interesting arguments.

When asked what faith in Jesus means to him Obama said something that fascinated me (something many might have missed). After describing himself as a Christian and outlining his beliefs, he said his “…sins, hopefully, will be washed away.” Most Bible-believing Christians, myself included, would say our “…sins are washed away.” Obama bunted this softball question. McCain hit a home run when asked the same thing, McCain replied, "Means I'm saved and forgiven. Our faith encompasses not just America but the world."

McCain got teary-eyed while discussing an experience with a guard during his experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. The guard, McCain said, drew a cross in the sand while he was praying on Christmas Day. "For a minute there, we were just two Christians worshipping together."

When it came to describing a gut-wrenching decision in his life, Obama lied and described the process via which he arrived at his vote against going to war in Iraq. I guess he thought few people would catch the fact that he was not in the US Senate when the war started. Conversely, McCain described a decision made while incarcerated as a prisoner of war in Vietnam where he passed up the chance for early release as a POW and stuck to the Code of Conduct.

The topic of abortion produced answers that said a lot about the candidates. After Obama described his faith journey, he claimed he was pro-choice. And when asked a question about abortion (i.e., “At what point does a baby get human rights?”), he said, “Answering that question with specifics is above my pay-grade,” before going on to describe how he favors reducing the number of abortions. When asked whether he had ever voted to reduce abortions, his dance around the question equated to saying, “No.”

Conversely, McCain answered the baby human rights question in one word — “Conception!” — before going on to say he would be a staunch pro-life president.

Both candidates defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Obama opposed a Constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage. McCain said he would only push for such an amendment if states rights on the matter were threatened (i.e., a federal court holds Massachusetts law up as a standard other states must follow).

Both candidates answered the stem cell debate question in opposition to my evangelical conservative viewpoint, but hid behind “This is a tough issue” and “This is a terrible dilemma” rhetoric.

When asked if evil exists and, if so, what should we do about it, Obama answered like a politician. McCain said, “Defeat it!” and then went on to pledge how he would find Osama bin Laden if it meant following him to the gates of hell. He also identified the elephants in the room — Radical Islamic extremists and Al-Qaeda — that Obama ignored.

Asked which Supreme Court justice he would not have nominated as president, Obama said he would not have nominated Justice Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court of the United States. He explained that he did not think Thomas was a strong enough legal thinker. He also added that he didn’t agree with Justices Antonin Scalia and John Roberts, though the latter was “compelling, smart and thoughtful.”

McCain answered the same question in a more-succinct manner, naming Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, David Souter and John Paul Stevens as four he would not have nominated.

Questions about whether faith-based organizations should qualify for federal funding if they didn’t hire staff per guidelines of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Obama expressed worry about discrimination occurring. McCain highlighted the work of faith-based organizations in post-Katrina New Orleans as being more productive than government agencies and said he believed they should received federal funding.

In general, both candidates seemed to express support for merit pay for teachers. But McCain won this one. Obama said he would set up a merit pay system and involve teachers in the process. (That way he didn't upset the teacher's unions). McCain said we should find bad teachers another line of work and asked, “What kind of opportunity is it if we send (kids) to a failing school?”

Asked to define “rich,” Obama put a dollar amount — $150,000 — on it. (If $150,000 is Rich , then, I must be upper middle class. So why can't I afford a house? Obama means returning to the days of Jimmy Carter.) McCain reminded me of my hero Ronald Reagan when he said it’s not for him to define what being rich is. It’s up to him to NOT raise taxes and offer tax breaks.

Questions about the United States’ role in the world generated similar Washington, D.C. answers. McCain was able to say we should safeguard freedom with a sense of purpose Obama did not offer that kind of vow citing personal experience of having lived without freedom during a season of his life.

The only thing in the candidates’ answers to questions about ending genocide and religious persecution that struck me as noteworthy was one of Obama's major gaffs. That gaff being: When asked by host Pastor Rick Warren about whether he would ever commit American troops to stop a genocide without the approval of the United Nations, Obama said yes--and cited Bosnia as an example in which America acted alone.

Er... wrong!

By the time the United States intervened in the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR)--established by UN Security Council Resolution 743--had been involved (rather dismally) for three years.

In 1994 and again in 1995, the UN Security council authorized the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to intervene--and the U.S., working within NATO, did so. The UN effectively transferred its authority to NATO via the multinational military implementation force (IFOR) in Security Council Resolution 1031.

Some might consider this a minor mistake, but it underlines Obama's ignorance about history--even recent history, during a time when he had already begun his public political career. And it is increasingly relevant as Russian aggression continues against Georgia.

The next time Obama falsely claims that McCain once confused Sunni and Shia in Iraq (he didn't), perhaps he should be reminded of this glaring factual error.

Also Noetwworthy was McCain’s answer to Pastor Warren’s question about helping orphans around the world. Using few words, he described his wife Cindy’s trip to Bangladesh nearly two decades ago and how she returned with a baby girl, now 17, who they adopted as their own.

On the question of why each candidate wanted to be president, one (Obama) said, in essence, he wanted to stand up for the little guy and show that anything is possible in America. McCain said he wanted to inspire younger generations.

The Jeremiah Wright Award for Audacity goes to Senator Barack Obama who claimed credit for passing campaign finance reform legislation in Washington. When Warren asked, "Can you give an example of where you went against party loyalty and maybe even went against your own best interest for the good of America."

If Senator Barack Hussein Obama was a honest man he would have had to said something along the lines of "I plead the 5th" or "No, I have never went against party loyality. Please note my straight down party lines voting record of 2007." Or at least refer to all those time he mearly voted "present" as a Illinois State Senator to keep from rocking the boat.

But Barack Hussein Obama is not an honest man so he had to lie. His lie was: "WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE THAT IN FACT I WORKED WITH JOHN MCCAIN ON AND THAT WAS THE ISSUE OF CAMPAIGN ETHICS REFORM AND FINANCE REFORM."

Tisk ... Tisk ... Tisk. Mr Obama you lie once again. You must be banking on the public to not remember that McCain's major finance reform bill became law in 2002, more than two years before you showed up in the Senate.

And, of course, Obama then rejected federal financing for his campaign, breaking his promise to adhere to the system and trashing the very reforms he is now trying to take moral and political credit for.

I, for one, was very inspired by McCain. Not at all by Obama. McCain kicked poor old Barry's big eared butt in this forum.

Before I was mearly going to vote AGAINST Obama.

Now I am voting FOR McCain and am sending money to his campaign.

Obama's Experience and Qualifications (More like the lack there of)

2008-08-14T11:49:00.000-07:00

The Issue:
Obama's Experience and Qualifications

What The LIberal Whiners Say:

1.'Barack Obama will bring UNITY to our country to finally get things done!'

2.'Yeah well, Obama is a Washington outsider, which is exactly what we need right now'

3.'Barack Obama is one of the great communicators of our time, he's a brilliant speaker who can fire up a crowd'

4.'He'll bring change, and anything is better than Bush, right?'

Your Winning, Logical, Reasoned, Argument:
1. Really? Can you name even ONE instance where Barack Obama worked in a united way with Republicans on ANY issue? His positions are so far to the left, there's no way he could reach out to anyone but extreme left wing liberals. He's never shown the least bit of interest working with members on the other side of the isle. On the other hand, John McCain has "reached across the isle" numerous times...McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman to name just a few. If your really want UNITY or bi-partisanship, John McCain is definitely your man.

2. Unfortunately, Obama has spent SO much time outside Washington, that we have absolutely no idea what he would do once he was inside. He was a "community organizer in Chicago, an Illinois state legislator, and a U.S. Senator since 2005. From that to President of the United States? Asked what Barack had accomplished to recommend him for the job, I was told recently that Barack Obama had "organized the Black people." Hmm. First, I hadn't realized the Black people were DISorganized? There's nothing worse than an entire minority group running around helter skelter, is there? So, thank you for that, Barack. That must have been during the "community organizer" days? But when pressed to name specifics on a legitimate accomplishment, Obama supporters are stumped. Even staunch Obama supporter, Texas state senator Kirk Watson, when asked by Chris Matthews on national television this past February 19th, to name just one thing Obama has ever accomplished, Watson couldn't come up with a single thing. Not one. This was of course, before Chris Matthews felt the "thrill going up his leg" for Obama, and pledged him his troth.

3. Adolph Hitler could fire up a crowd too. I'm not comparing the two, I'm just saying that's not necessarily the best recommendation for president. I went to a Barry Manilow concert with my ex-wife once, he had the crowd (well, the WOMEN in it, anyway) pretty fired up. As for Obama's communication skills, I still like the fact that he communicated to us that we have 57 states, plus one he hasn't visited yet, plus Alaska and Hawaii...for a total of 60? Had he not communicated that information, I'd be under the mistaken impression we still had just the 50 states. Also the priceless tire inflation communication, just might save our nation, as well as the planet.

4. Uh, wrong. Karl Marx wouldn't be better than Bush. Neither would Vladimir Lenin. Let's not forget his quote from the front page of the Wall Street Journal a few months ago: "Globalization and technology and automation all weaken the position of workers," he said, and a strong government hand is needed to assure that wealth is distributed more equitably. Equitable distribution of wealth talk should frighten to the core all American citizens who love life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The one big bill to Barack Obama's credit right now is another of his proposals to redistribute wealth. It's called the World Poverty Act. If passed into law, it would take $845 billion from U.S. taxpayers, and redistribute that money to other nations through the UN.
Sound good? If so, we'll see you in the cheese lines Comrade!

Obama the post turtle

2008-08-01T09:24:00.000-07:00

I have decided that the phrase that best describes Barrack Hussein Obama is "post turtle"

If you are not familiar with the term, I'll explain what a I mean by a "post turtle".

Say you're driving down an old country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post
turtle'.'

Obama is a true post turtle because You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there.

Obama would rather work on his Abs than visit with Wounded Troops

2008-07-28T21:44:00.000-07:00

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA decided to Workout at the Ritz Instead of Meeting U.S. Troops. The Dims say "Bad Move, Barry." but I say he once again showed his true colors.

Scheduling Snafus happen, we all are aware that Obama had to cancel some dates due to his plane having mechanical problems. But this was not the case. Based on multiple sources, my least favorite "Citizen of the world" Obama went to the Ritz Gym instead of visiting the major medical center in which our troops come out of the battlefield and receive care prior to being returned to the United States.

So visiting national leaders, going to the wailing wall, giving pandering speeches to the euros where he claims to love America, then goes to the Gym at the Ritz to wind down from all of his world wide recognition and campaigning. The final thing he accomplished is that a Public Relations Officer at both hospitals had to tell the wounded and recovering troops he would be not be visiting them.

So, why did he canceal? Because he could take camera crews with him for his campaign. He he cared about the troops he would have ditched the campaign staff and went to see the wounded.

I wish one of our wonded troops he photo ops with in the future would spit in his eye and say "Hey, Obama your a fucking douche bag. The press treats you like your the second coming of Jimi Hendrix. But your a low life liberal intent on wrecking this country. You're an overated dancing monkey."

Some think Obama is the next JFK. I am hoping for the Next RFK. Either way, someone out there should start thinking about getting in some target practicing.

Although, I would rather this thing be settled via the ballot box ... I won't object to the cartrige box. (Note to Secrect Service, FBI and mouth breathing democrats: I am not treatening Obama's life or calling for some one to put a high powered rifle round thru his useless skull but rather simpling starting that I wouldn't lose any sleep over his death nor would I lift a finger to stop it."

Obama Nation or Abomination?

2008-07-07T09:33:00.000-07:00

Obamelation: the feeling of intense euphoria that Commie-minded voters experience when discussing anything that includes the words "Barack Obama" in any sentence (except, of course, when the sentence includes any actual facts that are detrimental to turning the United States into an ObamaNation).

Obamatron: a person that blindly believes everything that Barack Obama says, and acts accordingly. The root word is "automaton." Spelled a-u-t-o-m-a-t-o-n. An Obamatron will vote for Barack Obama, even if the candidate is not on the ballot because he becomes disqualified due to a lack of United States citizenship!

Obamessiah: This one has been around for awhile, but bears repeating. Many of the candidates followers seem to think — quite literally — that Barack Obama can, and will, solve all the world's problems.

Obobviously: The word that an Obamatron will use, with intense Obamelation, when explaining to a non-believer that the candidate "Obobviously" really is the Obamessiah.

O-bomb: (verb) the act of inserting the name Barack Obama into any conversation, for any reason, in a whiny-liberal attempt to gain support for the candidate. An O-bomb can also be used to disrupt a conversation, whenever conservatives (see: racist hate-mongers) are using facts in an attempt to malign the candidate. (e.g.: "They were talking about how they would never vote for him, so I just O-bombed them about 50 times at the top of my lungs. I won; they all walked away.")

O-bomb: (noun) the magical name of the candidate, as used when dropping an O-bomb. (NOTE: Just as lead plates can shield from the radiation of an H-bomb, using the middle name "Hussein" shields conservatives from the radiation of an O-bomb.)

Obamageddon: the place where we could be headed if Obama gets elected. (This word was originally in a DelGiorno "radio cartoon," but with a different definition. Or... was it?)

Obama the Gaf Machine

2008-05-22T18:14:00.000-07:00

* Marking the anniversary of the March 1965 "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Ala., Obama, speaking at a church, said his parents got together "because of what happened in Selma." Obama was born in 1961.

* Obama told Larry King on CNN -- asked about that anti-Hillary Rodham Clinton YouTube ad, a doctored version of a spot created for Apple computers -- "We don't have the technical capacity to create something like that."
Obama did not know what he was talking about. Any professional media consultant can manipulate images on video. Turns out the creator -- unmasked later as a political operative who worked for a firm overseeing the technical side of Obama's Web site -- made it at home on a Mac.

* Obama, asked if homosexuality was immoral, in the wake of comments by Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Peter Pace, sidestepped the question. After pressure from gay groups, Obama issued a statement stating he did not agree with Pace "that homosexuality is immoral."

* Cynicism is like terrorism? One of Obama's stump lines is that the biggest obstacle he fights is not any of his rivals, it is cynicism. He used a variation of it during a reception he hosted at a conference here sponsored by AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Displaying a tin ear, Obama said that one of the enemies is not "just terrorists" or "just Hezbollah" or "just Hamas" -- "it's also cynicism."

* The Tribune dug this up: Obama, in his memoir, Dreams of My Father, writes of a story in Life magazine that influenced him -- about a black man trying to bleach his skin white. No such article could be found in Life or Ebony.

* Insider or outsider? Another Obama stump line -- he's said again and again to the Communications Workers of America here -- is that "I've been long enough in Washington to know that Washington needs to change." He is running against Washington yet his campaign is populated with political professionals who are Washington insiders.

* Obama's embrace of some rhetoric used by rival John Edwards is getting attention. Edwards, in a 2003 speech made for his first presidential run said, "I've spent enough time in Washington to know how much we need to change Washington."

Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals

2008-05-07T22:07:00.000-07:00

Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.

Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found.Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

The rationalization measure included statements such as: "It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are."

To justify economic inequalities, a person could support the idea of meritocracy, in which people supposedly move up their economic status in society based on hard work and good performance.

In that way, one's social class attainment, whether upper, middle or lower, would be perceived as totally fair and justified.

If your beliefs don't justify gaps in status, you could be left frustrated and disheartened, according to the researchers, Jaime Napier and John Jost of New York University. They conducted both a U.S.-centric survey and a more internationally focused one to arrive at the findings.

"Our research suggests that inequality takes a greater psychological toll on liberals than on conservatives," the researchers write in the June issue of the journal Psychological Science, "apparently because liberals lack ideological rationalizations that would help them frame inequality in a positive (or at least neutral) light."

The results support and further explain a Pew Research Center survey from 2006, in which 47 percent of conservative Republicans in the U.S. described themselves as "very happy," while only 28 percent of liberal Democrats indicated such cheer.

The same rationalizing phenomena could apply to personal situations as well.

"There is no reason to think that the effects we have identified here are unique to economic forms of inequality," the researchers write. "Research suggests that highly egalitarian women are less happy in their marriages compared with their more traditional counterparts, apparently because they are more troubled by disparities in domestic labor."

The current study was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Obama's Former Pastor in His Own Words

2008-04-25T22:23:00.000-07:00

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, in an interview with PBS newsman Bill Moyers broadcast Friday, says his fiery comments, including his controversial “God Damn America” proclamation, have been taken out of context by the news media.

Barack Obama’s former pastor says people should listen to his entire sermon to have a complete understanding of his message.

FOXNews.com has compiled video from the full sermon delivered by Wright on April. 13, 2003, from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Was criticism of Wright’s fiery sermons “unfair” and “devious,” as he argued in the PBS interview?

Bush Heckler Arrested After Punching Wheelchair-Bound Girl

2008-04-24T19:54:00.000-07:00

A man heckling First Lady Laura Bush and daughter Jenna outside the 92nd Street Y was arrested after he punched a wheelchair-bound girl whose parents had told him to shut up, authorities said Wednesday.

German Talis, 22, was shouting obscenities at the Bushes, who were leaving the building Tuesday, when he crossed paths with Wendy and John Lovetro and their daughter Maureen, 18, who has cerebral palsy.

They had been in the audience to hear the Bushes talk about their children's book, "Read All About It."

"He began yelling about Iraq and Iran at Jenna Bush. She was waving at the crowd. I told the guy, 'What are you doing? Shut up. This is about a child and books,' " said John Lovetro. "He was unperturbed. I said, 'Get out of here! You're being a moron!' "

The next thing he knew, Talis was allegedly punching Maureen, a fan of the first lady since meeting her in 2004.

The Essence of Obama

2008-04-23T06:28:00.000-07:00

First, Obama refused to display the American Flag on his lapel. Then, he refused to distance himself from his America hating, racist, and self promoting minister, the despicable Reverend Wright. Now, he is giving some lame excuse for not respecting and following proper protocol when our National Anthem is played.

That lame Obama excuse is, “as I have said before, I do not want to be perceived as taking sides”. Further, he says, “There are a lot o people in the world to whom the American Flag is a symbol of oppression. And, the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song---I’d like to teach the World to Sing---If that was our anthem, then I might acknowledge it”. I would sure like to know who he is afraid to take sides with.

This is the man who wants to become the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, leader of the free world, and role model to our children.

Please allow me to share with you the level at which our flag and anthem is honored on all our military bases. First, the flag is never displayed at night unless properly lighted. Early in the morning after sunrise, every military installation in the nation has a ceremony as the flag is hosted. Prior to sunset, a similar ceremony is performed where the flag is brought down, and folded with great care, then stored for the night. It is never allowed to touch the ground. These ceremonies are conducted by impeccably dressed uniformed personnel and accompanied by appropriate music. During the ceremony all traffic on base is brought to a halt, again, in honor of the flag. When the flag becomes old and faded, it is retired with ceremony, and burned. Military personnel love the flag, as it is a symbol of our country, and that is what they have taken an oath to defend---to their deaths.

Military personnel, both active and retired, stand and salute the flag as it passes by. I have seen wheel-chair bound vets struggle to stand when the flag passes by. The same respect is paid when our National Anthem is played. Sometimes, I wonder if our military members are the only America loving group left in this country. Berkley, you should truly be ashamed!!!!

I am sure you can imagine how veterans feel when an America hating, low life individual is allowed to burn the flag, or spit on it, or stomp on it with dirty feet. But, can you imagine how they will feel watching their Commander-in-Chief degrade it, refuse to honor it, and even change our National Anthem to, “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony”???

How can we justify supporting a man who has spent over two decades attending a church, whose minister instead of proclaiming, “God-Bless America” in front of our children, shouts, “God-Damn America” over and over. Does anyone out there really believe that Obama did not know what was going on in that church? TO DENY IS TO LIE!!! Both right and left all know deep down that he is very good at that.

Never in my life did I think I would look at Hillary Clinton with any kind of positive thought. However, it appears that there is a group of people in this country so ill informed, so blinded by charisma, so deaf to nonsense, that they will support a far-left, anti-American, silver-tongued, foolish man with a Socialist agenda like Barrack Hussein Obama. He makes Hillary Clinton appear angelic. I realize that she is obsessed with winning and totally self-serving also, but I have never heard her say, or do, anything that leads me to believe she hates this country, or openly displays obvious racist tendencies.

However, I have heard Obama say several times that, “We live in the greatest nation in the world, and I am going to change it”. Again, my question is, “what does he mean by change? What is he going to change it to?”

I somehow understand the youth of America being taken in by a young, black, silver-tongued, motivational speaker. Their experience is limited, and their attitudes will change as their life progresses, and they feel the sting of a burn or two. However, I have no patience at all with mature Americans who seemingly cannot think their way out of a paper bag. I am speaking of those who go to rallies and act like groupies, applauding Obama when he blows his nose. FOLKS, WE MUST WAKE UP!!!!! There are good people out there who understand what I am talking about here, but they are remaining far too quiet.

It is time for these Americans to stand up for their Country, their Religion, and their Rights. No other nation on earth supports the standard of living that we experience in America. Every living, breathing, citizen of this country should say a little prayer each night recognizing how fortunate they are to have been born here. If we lose that standard, it will be lost because of the apathy of the American people.

George Bush has many faults, and has made many mistakes. However, it defies gravity to me that the far-left can profess such hate for Bush, and then show strong support for the likes of an Obama. Folks, if you think about it long, hard, and with focus, two plus two will normally make four. Another way to look at it is, if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it probably is a friggin’ duck.

More Taxes!?! Friggin' DEMOCRATS!!!!

2008-04-16T09:44:00.000-07:00

Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.

www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html

Taxes under Clinton 1999..............................Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400...................Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $14,000.................Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $23,250 .................Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,800 .............Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $21,000 ..............Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $38,750 .............Married making 125K - tax $31,250

Both democratic candidates want return to the higher tax rates

It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and raise taxes even higher. A good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen.

This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.

CHANGE we can't spare

2008-04-16T09:28:00.000-07:00

Quote of the Day........"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." -- Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.

Remember the election in 2006? Democrats ran on a platform of change. America voted for change in 2006, and we got it! The Democrats took control of Congress and things have certainly changed. Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.

Just over 18 months ago, before the Democrats took control of Congress things were not that bad:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high when the Democrats took control:
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) A gallon of 2% milk sold for $2.40
5) A dozen large eggs sold for $0.98

So, what Changes have we seen? Well, since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon (a 60% increase);
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase)
4) The cost of a gallon of 2% milk has gone up to %3.13 (a 30% increase)
5) The cost of dozen large eggs more than doubled and now costs $2.17 (a 121% increase)

These changes should leave egg on the faces of the voters that put the Democrats in charge of congress. But with Congress repealing Bush tax cuts who can afford to throw eggs?

As if that was not bad enough, here are some of the other Changes the Democrat controlled congress have made for us since the 2006 election.

American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses) since the 2006 election.

Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars since the Democrats took over congress in 2006.

1.69% of American homes are in foreclosure compared to .32% before the 2006 election. (a 5 fold increase)

Bottom line? Obama Supports need to hang on to their "Change" signs because if he (or any Democrat for that matter) is elected President in 2008 they are going to need them so they can stand on the street corners and beg for spare "Change."

IS THERE ANY QUESTION WHY CONGRESS'S APPROVAL RATING IS ABOUT A THIRD OF GEORGE W BUSH'S?

Obama worked with terrorist

2008-04-09T19:24:00.000-07:00

The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe" and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.

The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group. In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.

Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971. Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The $40,000 grant from Obama's Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group's reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND.

The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN's reported grants for that year. The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago's Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to "empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities."

It reportedly has worked on projects with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which supports open boarders and education for illegal aliens. The AAAN in 2005 sent a letter to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson in which it called a billboard opposing a North Carolina-New Mexico joint initiative to deny driver's licenses to illegal aliens a "bigoted attack on Arabs and Muslims." Speakers at AAAN dinners and events routinely have taken an anti-Israel line. The group co-sponsored a Palestinian art exhibit, titled, "The Subject of Palestine," that featured works related to what some Palestinians call the "Nakba" or "catastrophe" of Israel's founding in 1948.

According to the widely discredited Nakba narrative, Jews in 1948 forcibly expelled hundreds of thousands - some Palestinians claim over one million - Arabs from their homes and then took over the territory.

Jimmy Carter to Meet With Hamas Leader in Syria

2008-04-09T09:12:00.000-07:00

Here’s yet another example of How Our Worst Ex-President Undermines American Foreign Policy, Coddles Dictators and Created the Party of Clinton and Kerry:

Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

Wherever U.S. interests have been imperiled and a temporary "peace" could be bought at the expense of long-term security, Carter has always been on board. The late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan summed it up when he said of Carter in 1980, "Unable to distinguish between our friends and our enemies, he has essentially adopted our enemies' view of the world."

Woe unto America if Jimmy Carter ever becomes our guiding light

(I can't help but pray that Hamas takes him hostage for 444 Days then beheads him Daniel Pearl style. That would be a fitting end to "Jimmy" Earl's quest for a legacy and would put the United States out of Jimmy's misery. Jimmy should stick to fishing for killer swamp rabbits that seemed to be the only thing he did successfully as the Worst 20th Century US President /The Peanut Farmer That Caused Millions Of Americans (Including me) To Become Republicans.

Obama's Top Ten Fabrications

2008-03-27T08:59:00.000-07:00

Recently Obama's camp has been pointing out Hillary's "Sniper Fire" lies about her trip to Bosnia. I guess he'll never learn not to sling mud when it is shapped like a bomerrang. Obama pointing at Hillary and Saying "Liar Liar pants on Fire!" is like the pot calling the kettle black. (And no Rev Wright that's not a racial comment.)

Here is a short list of Obama's

#10: Obama Was A Constitutional Law Professor: At A Recent Fundraiser, Obama Claimed He Was A "Constitutional Law Professor." "'I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution,' Obama told an audience at a campaign fundraiser." (Brendan Farrington, "Obama: Bush Fails To Respect The Constitution," The Associated Press, 3/30/07) On The University Of Chicago Law School Website, Obama Is Listed As A "Senior Lecturer In Law (On Leave Of Absence)." (University Of Chicago Law School Website, http://www.law.uchicago.edu/faculty/obama, Accessed 3/30/07) Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. "Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama's primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school. In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matter." (Lynn Sweet, "Obama's Book: What's Real, What's Not" Chicago Sun-Times, 8/8/04)

#9: Obama's Parents "Got Together" Because Of The 1965 Selma March: In His Selma Speech, Obama Said His Parents "Got Together" And He Was Born As A Result Of The Selma March. Obama: "Because some folks were willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama, Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama." (Senator Barack Obama, Remarks At Brown Chapel AME Church, Selma, AL, 3/4/07) "Earlier In The Day At A Prayer Breakfast, The Illinois Democrat Said: 'If It Hadn't Been For Selma, I Wouldn't Be Here.'" (Anne E. Kornblut and Peter Whoriskey, "Clinton, Obama Link Selma March To Present," The Washington Post, 3/5/07) But Obama Was Born In 1961, 4 YEARS BEFORE The 1965 Selma March. "Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961." (Obama For America Website, www.barackobama.com, Accessed 3/6/07; Anne E. Kornblut and Peter Whoriskey, "Clinton, Obama Link Selma March To Present," The Washington Post, 3/5/07)

#8: Obama Was Fluent In Indonesian As A Child: Obama's Claim That He Quickly Became Fluent In Indonesian As A Child Was Disputed By A Former Teacher. "Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israella Pareira Darmawan, Obama's 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. He struggled greatly with the foreign language, she said, and with his studies as a result." (Kirsten Scharnberg and Kim Barker, "The Not-So-Simple Story Of Barack Obama's Youth," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07)

#7: Obama Mistakenly Received A Letter From A Company In Which He Owned Stock: "Obama Said At Some Point In Fall 2005 He Got A Stockholder Letter. He Said He Believes It Was From AVI Or Skyterra, But He Couldn't Remember Which Company." (Nedra Pickler, "Obama Unaware Of Investment Conflicts," The Associated Press, 3/7/07) According To SEC Records, SkyTerra Did Not Send Investors Its SEC Proxy Forms In Fall 2005. "The origin of the shareholder update Obama referred to remains unclear. SkyTerra, like many public companies, sends investors copies of its Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proxy forms, also known as 14As, but none were issued during the fall of 2005, according to SEC records." (Elana Schor, "2008 And Counting: Sen. Obama Pivots After Bad Press," The Hill, 3/8/07) AVI Investor-Relations Director: "It Doesn't Sound Like Anything We Would Have Sent Out." "AVI generally sends mailings to shareholders or institutional investors that proactively request them or sign up for e-mail lists, said Michael Hubbard, AVI's investor-relations director. 'It doesn't sound like anything we would have sent out,' Hubbard said." (Elana Schor, "2008 And Counting: Sen. Obama Pivots After Bad Press," The Hill, 3/8/07)

#6: Obama's Campaign Only Had "Very Attenuated" Ties To The "1984" Ad Creator: Obama Suggested That "1984" Ad Creator Phil De Vellis Was The Equivalent Of A Contract Employee And Therefore Could Not Be Held Responsible For His Conduct. "Thursday, Obama said of de Vellis that his campaign had no way of knowing who this person was.' 'If I have a phone contract with Verizon and an employee of a phone company does something that you know ... we're not responsible for that,' Obama said." (Jake Tapper and Jonathan Greenberger, "Anti-Clinton Ad Maker Lived With Obama Senate Staffer," ABC News, 3/23/07) De Vellis Is An Employee Of Blue State Digital, A Computer Firm Consulting For Obama. "Obama's campaign says it had no role in creating or posting the ad. But Wednesday, Democratic operative Philip de Vellis took credit for the ad. It turned out that he worked for Blue State Digital, a computer firm that is among Obama's consultants." (Dan Morain, "Ad Creator Claimed Role In Obama Campaign," Los Angeles Times, 3/23/07) Joe Rospars, A Co-Founder Of Blue State Digital, Is Now Obama's Director Of New Media. "Blue State helped design Obama's Web site, and one of the firm's founding members, Joe Rospars, took a leave from the company to work as Obama's director of new media." (Jim Kuhnhenn, "Anti-Clinton Ad Puts Spotlight On Obama," The Associated Press, 3/23/07) "On Thursday, An Earlier E-Mail Surfaced In Which De Vellis Boasted To Numerous People About His Role In The Creation Of A Web Page, My.BarackObama. Com, A Site Designed By Blue State Digital." (Dan Morain, "Ad Creator Claimed Role In Obama Campaign," Los Angeles Times, 3/23/07) Obama's Press Secretary Recently Lived With De Vellis, Undermining Obama's Previous Statements That His Campaign Had Only "Very Attenuated" Ties. "The press secretary for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., recently lived with the creator of the scathingly satirical YouTube video ad that attacked Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., a revelation that seems to undermine the senator's claim that he and his campaign had only 'very attenuated' ties with the ad's creator." (Jake Tapper and Jonathan Greenberger, "Anti-Clinton Ad Maker Lived With Obama Senate Staffer," ABC News, 3/23/07)

#5: Obama's Campaign Didn't Have The "Technical Capacity" To Produce The "1984" Ad: Obama Claims Campaign Didn't Have The "Technical Capacity" To Create The Ad. Obama: "But it's not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don't have the technical capacity to create something like that." (CNN's "Larry King Live," 3/24/07) But The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A "Sunday Afternoon" On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: "I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs." (The Huffington Post, "I Made the "Vote Different" Ad," Posted By Phil De Vellis, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/phil-de-vellis-aka-parkridge/i-made-the-vote-differen_b_43989.html, Posted 3/21/07 )

#4: Obama's Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them: "According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama's Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money." (Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson, "An Old Friend's Troublesome Return," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07) Kakugawa Was "Infuriated" By The Charge And Flatly Denied It. "That allegation infuriated Kakugawa, prompting him to speak to the Tribune after repeatedly refusing to do so. 'You must understand, I am not an extortionist,' he said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles, where he is living out of a car with an acquaintance after being released from a California prison on March 10. 'Listen, I'm homeless. ... I ask everyone I know for money.'" (Maurice Possley, et al, "An Old Friend's Troublesome Return," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07) "Kakugawa Wouldn't Discuss His School Days With Obama Other Than To Say He Considered The Senator 'A Brother' And 'Wouldn't Do A Damn Thing To Ever Hurt His Campaign.'" (Maurice Possley, et al, "An Old Friend's Troublesome Return," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07)

#3: Obama Places Himself In The Central Role In The Altgeld Gardens Asbestos Campaign: Obama "Unfairly Omits Others Responsible For The Successes Of The Asbestos Campaign." "And though most memoirs place their authors at the center of events, critics of Dreams From My Father say the book unfairly omits others responsible for the successes of the asbestos campaign, an event that Obama portrays as central to his maturation as a political leader." (Peter Wallsten, "Obama Memoir Left Out Credits For Activism, Critics Say," Los Angeles Times, 2/19/07) "Obama Did Not Play The Singular Role In The Asbestos Episode." "They say Obama did not play the singular role in the asbestos episode that he portrays in the best-selling memoir 'Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.' Credit for pushing officials to deal with the cancer-causing substance, according to interviews and news accounts from that period, also goes to a well-known preexisting group at Altgeld Gardens and to a local newspaper called the Chicago Reporter. Obama does not mention either one in his book." (Peter Wallsten, "Obama Memoir Left Out Credits For Activism, Critics Say," Los Angeles Times, 2/19/07)

#2: Obama Had Heated Discussions With A High School Friend Named "Ray" About Racial Issues: Although Obama Recounts "Heated Conversations About Racism" With A Character He Calls "Ray," The Real "Ray" Says It Never Happened. "In his best-selling autobiography, 'Dreams from My Father,' Obama describes having heated conversations about racism with another black student, 'Ray.' The real Ray, Keith Kakugawa . . . said he does recall long, soulful talks with the young Obama and that his friend confided his longing and loneliness. But those talks, Kakugawa said, were not about race. 'Not even close' . . ." (Kirsten Scharnberg and Kim Barker, "The Not-So-Simple Story Of Barack Obama's Youth," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07) Obama Did Not Participate In Discussions On Race With His Fellow Black Classmates In High School. "The handful of black students who attended Punahou School in Hawaii, for instance, say they struggled mightily with issues of race and racism there. But absent from those discussions, they say, was another student then known as Barry Obama." (Kirsten Scharnberg and Kim Barker, "The Not-So-Simple Story Of Barack Obama's Youth," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07)

#1: Seeing A Photograph In Life Or Ebony Magazine Changed Obama's Life: The Life Magazine Article And Photograph Obama Discusses "Doesn't Exist." "Then there's the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don't exist, say the magazine's own historians." (Kirsten Scharnberg and Kim Barker, "The Not-So-Simple Story Of Barack Obama's Youth," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07) Obama Volunteered It May Have Been Ebony Magazine, But No Such Ebony Article Matched Obama's Description. "When asked about the discrepancy, Obama said in a recent interview, 'It might have been an Ebony or it might have been ... who knows what it was?' (At the request of the Tribune, archivists at Ebony searched their catalogue of past articles, none of which matched what Obama recalled.)" (Kirsten Scharnberg and Kim Barker, "The Not-So-Simple Story Of Barack Obama's Youth," Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07)

Hillary's criminal actions and lies

2008-03-27T08:40:00.000-07:00

Over last 40 years Hillary has been implicated in many different criminal actions. A recent example is the illegal handling of 1.6 million dollars that was donated by Peter F Paul in Hillary’s 2000 Senatorial Campaign.

Cattle Futures & Conflicts of Interest
In 1979, Hillary Clinton’s trades in cattle futures contracts generated criticism regarding conflict of interest and allegations of disguised bribery. Her initial $1,000 investment generated $100,000 when she stopped trading ten months later. Furthermore, in his book Devil Take The Hindmost : A History Of Financial Speculation, Edward Chancellor noted that Clinton made her money by betting “on the short side at a time when cattle prices doubled.” Marshall Magazine, a publication of the Marshall School of Business, found that “Two-thirds of her trades showed a profit by the end of the day she made them and 80 percent were ultimately profitable.” According to the Washington Post, “[w]hile Clinton’s account was wildly successful to an outsider, it was small compared to what others were making in the cattle futures market in the 1978-79 period.” However, the Post’s comparison was of absolute profits, not necessarily percentage rate of return.

Chicago Mercantile Exchange records indicated that $40,000 of her profits came from larger trades initiated by Clinton’s lawyer and friend, James Blair, an experienced futures trader and outside counsel to Tyson Foods. According to exchange records, Robert L. “Red” Bone, the commodities broker that facilitated the trades on behalf of Ray E. Friedman and Co. (Refco), reportedly because Blair was a good client, allowed Clinton to maintain her positions even though she did not have enough money in her account to cover her activity. For example, she was allowed to order 10 cattle futures contracts, normally a $12,000 investment, in her first commodity trade in 1978 although she had only $1,000 in her account at the time. Refco was fined for violating Chicago Mercantile Exchange rules governing margin trading. Leo Melamed, a former chairman of the Mercantile Exchange who reviewed the records for the White House, said in an interview that Clinton violated no rules in the course of her transactions.

WhiteWater
The Whitewater controversy was a series of events and actions that had its origins in 1978. While in Arkansas, the Clintons were partners with Jim and Susan McDougal in a real estate venture known as the Whitewater Development Corporation. According to reports, the Clintons lost their financial investment in the Whitewater business projects. At the time the McDougals operated a savings and loan that retained Hillary Clinton’s legal services at Rose Law Firm. When the McDougals’ savings and loan failed in 1994, federal investigators subpoenaed Clinton’s legal billing records for auditing purposes. Hillary Clinton claimed to be unable to produce these records. After an extensive, two-year search, the records were found in the first lady’s book room in the White House and delivered to investigators in 1996. The delayed appearance of the billing records sparked intense interest and another investigation about how they surfaced and where they had been; Clinton attributed the problem to disorganization that resulted from her move from the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion to the White House. After the discovery of the ‘lost’ records, on January 26, 1996, Clinton made history by becoming the first First Lady to testify before a grand jury.

The Whitewater investigation was initiated by Independent Counsel Robert Fiske appointed by Attorney General Janet Reno. The case was later taken over by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, and concluded by Independent Counsel Robert Ray. Several other allegations were also investigated under the Whitewater umbrella. The investigations, which took place during Bill Clinton’s presidency and cost an estimated $40 million, resulted in the McDougals being jailed and Webster Hubbell pleading guilty to felony charges of lying to federal investigators about Clinton’s role in both Whitewater and the savings and loan failure. No criminal charges were brought against the Clintons themselves, as Robert Ray’s final report on September 20, 2000 stated that there was ‘insufficient evidence’ that either of them had engaged in criminal wrongdoing.

Travel office firings
On May 19, 1993, several long-time employees of the White House Travel Office were fired for alleged incompetence or illegal activities. Accusations were made that Hillary Clintonwas involved in the firings and that they were unjustified and were done in order to give the business to friends of the Clintons; she denied any role in the firings. Supporters claimed that the employees in question were officially political appointees (although they had served under Presidents of both parties) who served “at the President’s pleasure” and could be fired or reassigned at any time. The affair became known as “Travelgate”. On June 23, 2000, Whitewater Independent Counsel Robert Ray stated in a final report that while there was substantial evidence that she was involved in the firings, it could not be proved that she had deliberately lied about the matter, and so no charges would be brought.

Vince Foster
On July 20, 1993, White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster died by suicide. The general Whitewaterinvestigation included an examination of Foster’s death and the circumstances around it. Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr‘s investigation, as well as investigations by the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the U.S. Park Police, all concluded that Foster’s death was indeed a suicide.

In 1996 Hillary Clinton was accused by the Senate Special Whitewater Committee of ordering the removal of potentially damaging files (related to Whitewater or other matters) from Foster’s office on the night of his death.

Other critics of the Clintons have made more lurid allegations: that Foster’s death was not a suicide, that it was connected to Whitewater, and that Hillary Clinton was somehow involved by covering up activities together with Foster before his death or in that her relationship with Foster was an intimate one. Other conspiracy theories claimed that she had killed Foster herself or had him killed.

Origin of the name Hillary
During an April 1995 visit to Tibet, Hillary Clinton met New Zealand’s Sir Edmund Hillary, co-first-climber of Mount Everest. Clinton remarked that her mother, Dorothy Emma Howell Rodham, had told her that she was named after the famous climber. “It had two L’s, which is how she thought she was supposed to spell Hillary,” Clinton said at the Tibet meeting. “So when I was born, she called me Hillary, and she always told me it’s because of Sir Edmund Hillary.”

However, the Everest climb did not take place until 1953, more than five years after Clinton was born. Clinton opponents have used the discrepancy as evidence towards the charge that she is prone to fabrications. (LOOK OUT! SNIPERS!) Clinton said that her mother read about beekeeper-turned-mountaineer Edmund Hillary in a publication while pregnant in 1947 and liked the name and thus used the two L’s form. Some searches of prominent U.S. publications show no publicity given to Edmund Hillary before the Everest climb, so it is unlikely that Dorothy Rodham (who has not publicly spoken about the issue) would have heard of him. Furthermore, Hillary with two L’s was not that unusual a spelling at the time. Snopes.com concluded that Hillary Clinton probably made up the naming story as “a little white lie concocted for a special occasion.”

Finally, in October 2006, a spokeswoman for Senator Clinton’s re-election campaign explained that she was not in fact named after the mountain climber, stating rather that “It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add.”

Filegate
In June 1996, White House security head Craig Livingstone improperly asked for and received several hundred FBI background files, including ones on White House personnel from former Republican administrations. It was claimed that Hillary Clinton had requested these files and that she had recommended hiring the supposedly unqualified Livingstone; she denied these charges. The affair became known as ”Filegate”.

And on and on and on ...

Sue Al Gore for Fruad

2008-03-14T15:48:00.000-07:00

The founder of the Weather Channel wants to sue Al Gore for fraud, hoping a legal debate will settle the global-warming debate once and for all.

John Coleman, who founded the cable network in 1982, suggests suing for fraud proponents of global warming, including Al Gore, and companies that sell carbon credits.

"Is he committing financial fraud? That is the question," Coleman said.

"Since we can't get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue," Coleman said. "I'm confident that the advocates of 'no significant effect from carbon dioxide' would win the case."

• Click here to watch video of Coleman on "Fox and Friends."

Coleman says his side of the global-warming debate is being buried in mainstream media circles.

"As you look at the atmosphere over the last 25 years, there's been perhaps a degree of warming, perhaps probably a whole lot less than that, and the last year has been so cold that that's been erased," he said.
"I think if we continue the cooling trend a couple of more years, the general public will at last begin to realize that they've been scammed on this global-warming thing."

• Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Natural Science Center.

Coleman has long been a skeptic of global warming, and carbon dioxide is the linchpin to his argument.

"Does carbon dioxide cause a warming of the atmosphere? The proponents of global warming pin their whole piece on that," he said.

The compound carbon dioxide makes up only 38 out of every 100,000 particles in the atmosphere, he said.

"That's about twice as what there were in the atmosphere in the time we started burning fossil fuels, so it's gone up, but it's still a tiny compound," Coleman said. "So how can that tiny trace compound have such a significant effect on temperature?

"My position is it can't," he continued. "It doesn't, and the whole case for global warming is based on a fallacy."

Obama's Spiritual Leader`s "Anti-America Rant"

2008-03-14T13:18:00.000-07:00

In a fiery sermon taped and available on DVD, Barack Obama’s longtime pastor and spiritual adviser can be seen and heard saying three times: “God damn America.” (Well, most people won't notice that his public rant actually broke 3 laws: Illinios 1983 Code 12-14 Sec 50-67, Sec 50-69 and 720 ILCS 5/26-1. Just like most people won't mind that is calls for support for Obama from the pulpit violate US tax code.)

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., in his taped sermons, also questioned America’s role in the spread of the AIDS virus and suggested that the United States bore some responsibility for the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Confronting the content of some of Wright’s sermons, parts of which have been aired this week on FOX News, the Obama campaign is continuing to distance itself from the pastor’s rhetoric. But it is stopping short of a full repudiation.

Wright’s supporters say his Afro-centric sermons accurately portray black America, and they contend his sermons are widely studied by theologians. But critics are now calling attention to some of his words from the pulpit.

The pastor delivered his final sermon last month and retired as leader of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Obama has attended the church for 20 years and calls Wright his spiritual adviser.

Click here to visit the Trinity United Church of Christ’s Web site.

In a fiery sermon in April 2003, Wright said: “The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes three-strike laws and wants them to sing God Bless America.
“No! No No!
“God damn America … for killing innocent people.
“God damn America for threatening citizens as less than humans.
“God damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and supreme.”

In DVD copies of his sermons available for purchase, Wright can also be seen questioning America’s role in the spreading of the HIV virus that leads to AIDS. In another speech, made in the days after 9/11, he suggested that American foreign policy invited the terror attacks.
“We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki. And we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye,” Wright said.

“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because of stuff we have done overseas is now brought back into our own backyard. America is chickens coming home to roost.”

The pastor also said: “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.”

Late Thursday, the Obama campaign said it has distanced itself from certain comments made by the pastor. But it did not fully repudiate Wright himself — as some critics have called for.
“Senator Obama has said before that he profoundly disagrees with some of the statements and positions of Reverend Wright, who has preached his last sermon as pastor at the church,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said. “Senator Obama deplores divisive statements whether they come from his supporters, the supporters of his opponent, talk radio, or anywhere else.” (Bullshit... only if the statement is made against Obama.)

Obama’s longtime relationship with Wright is continuing to spark controversy.
“This is not just someone that Barack Obama has a casual relationship with,” said Tom Bevan, executive editor of RealClearPolitics.com. He noted that Wright married Barack and Michelle Obama, and Wright’s words were the inspiration for the title of Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope.”

“Barack Obama has not out and out distanced himself from all of these comments … ,” said Patricia Murphy, editor of CitizenJanePolitics.com. “It’s unclear if he rejects all of these statements. I would assume that he does, but I think he is going to be pushed where he needs to come out and fully explain his relationship with his pastor.”

Some of Wright’s statements have raised eyebrows at a time the Internal Revenue Service is scrutinizing tax-exempt religious organizations for alleged violations of rules barring them from participating in political campaigns.

Prior to his retirement last month, Wright delivered commentary from the pulpit in which he praised Obama, as well as remarks focusing on the racial divide between Obama and Clinton.
“There is a man here who can take this country in a new direction,” Wright said during his Jan. 13 sermon.

During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama’s upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.

“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said. “Hillary would never know that.

“Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”

In a Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said:
“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.”

So far the McCain and the Clinton campaigns has been shamefully quiet over Wright’s comments.

PORK SPENDING SCORECARD

2008-03-13T21:09:00.000-07:00

PORK SPENDING SCORECARD

We have a bit of bipartisan action taking place this week on the floor of the U.S. Senate. A Republican and a Democrat Senator: DeMint of South Carolina and McCaskill of Missouri, are going to offer an amendment to a bill that would require a two-thirds vote of the senate for any pork (or earmark, as they like to call it) spending to be approved.

McCain has vowed to be there to cast his vote for it. But Hillary and Obama have made no such vow. McCain is taking time off from his campaign to go to Washington just so he can vote on this amendment to end earmark spending.

In the meantime .. let's take a peek at the presidential candidate earmark records for the 2008 budget:

Hillary Clinton: 212 earmarks totaling $266 million.

Barack Obama: 53 earmarks totaling $126 million

John McCain: 0 earmarks totaling $0.0 million.

Hmmmm ... I wonder who is the better choice for getting the budget under control?

Hey Obama and Hillary are Niggers!

2008-03-12T16:18:00.000-07:00

WARNING: Contains offensive language.

OK, she's not and the N word is a word I don't like to use. But If you listen to Political Activist / Pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr you find out that being called a nigger makes you a better candidate. Who knew that the KKK and other dim-witted hate groups would actually be supporting Obama by calling him a nigger?

(OK, I'm done using the N-word now not because I refuse to support Obama or because it's not PC but because my parents raised me better.)

Barack Hussein Obama's nut job of a pastor and the church he's served for 36 years should be in hot water over statements Wright has made from the pulpit in support of the under qualified Illinois senator's run for the White House.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. claims to follow the righteous path, but when it comes to the federal tax law, his Trinity United Church of Christ may have crossed the line. Wright praised Obama from the pulpit on Jan. 13 in what was billed as his final sermon at the Chicago church.
"There is a man here who can take this country in a new direction," Wright said during his sermon. (Backward is a new direction folks.)

It was not the first time Wright endorsed Obama from the pulpit. The title of Obama's second book, "The Audacity of Hope," was stolen from a sermon by Wright. (More proof that the Democrat's dancing monkey is not capable of originial thought.)

During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama's upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.

As Obama Talks Religion, Questions Surround His Controversial Pastor

"Hillary ain't never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person." Wright decried from the pulpit.

In his Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said: "Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain't! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty."

"It's pretty clear an indirect endorsement of Barack Obama — that's not something you're supposed to do according to the tax code," said Andrew Walsh, a professor at Trinity College who specializes in religion in politics.

The tax code bans churches from participating in or intervening in a political campaign. Violations can result in the loss of a church's tax exempt status.

"Senator Obama has said repeatedly that personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they're offered from a platform at a rally or the pulpit of a church," said Bill Burton, a campaign spokesman.

"Senator Obama does not think of the pastor of his church in political terms. Like a member of his family, there are things he says with which Senator Obama deeply disagrees."

Obama defended Wright's longtime activism for blacks in America last week at a campaign event in Ohio.

"Jeremiah Wright ... has said some things that are considered controversial because he's considered that part of his social gospel," Obama said.

The Internal Revenue Service wouldn't comment on whether it is looking into potential tax violations at Trinity United. The church declined to make Wright available for an interview.
Congregant Dwight Hopkins, a professor of Theology at the University of Chicago, said there is no basis for the IRS to go after the church.

"From the church side they will say it's theology," said. "If it wasn't a senator running for president and it wasn't his church, then I think we could say all kinds of things."

The IRS has written dozens of letters warning churches against political advocacy from the pulpit. Yet it has revoked a church's tax-exempt status only twice in the last half-century.
Walsh said it's not typical for the IRS to enforce the rules.

"There's a tension here between the desires of the religious leaders to say important things in the public marketplace and the IRS rules, and so most of the time, the IRS does not enforce these rules," Walsh said.

The public scrutiny of these sermons comes in the wake of last month's revelation by the head of the United Church of Christ that the IRS is investigation a speech Obama gave at the denomination's national conference last year in Connecticut.

In a certified letter, Marsha Ramirez, IRS director, EO Examinations, wrote:
"Our concerns are based on articles posted on several Web sites including the church's which state the United States Presidential Candidate Senator Barack Obama addressed nearly 10,000 church members gathered at the United Church of Christ's biennial General Synod at the Hartford Civic Center, on June 23, 2007. In addition, 40 Obama volunteers staffed campaign tables outside the center to promote his campaign."

Some remarks attributed to Wright that have been posted on the Internet and cited in press accounts include:

“Fact number one: We’ve got more black men in prison than there are in college.
"Fact number two: Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run.
"We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional killers. ... We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. ... We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. ... We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means.
"And ... And ... And! God! Has got! To be sick! Of this shit!"

Will Doctor Death be Obama's Surgeon General

2008-03-12T10:12:00.000-07:00

Kevorkian plans congressional run

Hmmm ... I wonder if Barack Hussein Obama will name him as the Surgeon General.

I mean Doctor Death is more qualified to be the top Doctor in this land than Barack Hussein Obama is to be the top exceutive.

Obama's "Change" equals Politics as Usual

2008-03-11T05:44:00.000-07:00

Obama's Bisiness partner Real estate developer and Democrat money man, Antoin "Tony" Rezko is on trial in a Chicago federal courtroom on political corruption charges for allegedly buying influence with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration. Rezko is charged with 15 counts of fraud, as well as money laundering, bribery and attempted extortion. The trial is expected to last three to four months.

Rezko doesn't deny his role as a high-powered money man for major Democrats — including presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama when Obama served in the Illinois Legislature — but he refutes prosecutors allegations that he tried to shake down companies that wanted to do business with the state.

Tony Rezko's defense attorney wants to make it clear that in no way did the memo/e-mail entered as evidence today in court imply that Obama or other Illinois state lawmakers were "consulted" about any who should or should not be recommended to serve on a state hospitals planning board.

Defense attorney Joe Duffy says the memo shows that "Obama was one of the sponsors of the SB 1332, (designed to restructure the board). The memo had nothing to do with any recommendations." Obama and the rest of the lawmakers named in the memo voted in favor of SB 1332 in May 2004.

Yesterday, Rezko's defense team revealed an e-mail sent from an associate of David Wilhelm, the former campaign manager for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, to the governor's former general counsel, Susan Lichtenstein. The memo states that Obama -- then an Illinois state senator --consulted with other state lawmakers about who should serve as board members on the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board (IHFPB).

The IHFPB oversees the construction and expansion of Illinois hospitals. It's one of two state boards Tony Rezko is accused of trying to steal money from in what prosecutors call a "pay-to-play" scheme. Rezko never served on either board, but today two former employees with the governors office testified Rezko recommended dozens of people to those boards who eventually were appointed by the governor to serve. Prosecutors say Rezko's plan was to recommend people he knew would conspire with him to accept bribes and kickbacks from companies doing business with the boards.

Sen. Barack Hussein Obama's name surfaced briefly during day two of testimony in the public corruption trial of Chicago businessman and political fundraiser Tony Rezko.

During his opening statement to the jury, Tony Rezko's attorney described his client as a family man who came to the U.S. from Syria to pursue the American dream, eventually achieving that dream as a successful businessman.

Rezko is on trial in federal court accused of 15 counts of fraud, money laundering, aiding and abetting bribery and attempted extortion of a Hollywood movie producer, Tom Rosenberg (Million Dollar Baby).

Rezko was indicted in October 2006, accused of soliciting kickbacks from companies seeking state pension business. Rezko has a strong reputation in Illinois for being a political fixer. He's donated thousands of dollars to Illinois political campaigns, including U.S. Sen. Barack Hussein Obama.
Lead defense attorney, Joe Duffy, says Rezko has a long list of friends in Illinois politics including Obama. Duffy told the jury, "Tony Rezko met Barack Hussein Obama when Obama was a student at Harvard law school and he (Rezko) offered him a job with his business," which Obama declined. "Tony was a friend and supported Obama through the years."

Barack Hussein Obama's name was mentioned twice during defense attorney Joe Duffy's opening statement.

Duffy told the jury that Rezko had many friends in Illinois politics, too many to name. But he did name Obama and said how Rezko met the Democratic presidential candidate at Harvard Law School and how he offered Obama a job.

Rezko was indicted in October 2006 accused of soliciting kickbacks from companies seeking state pension business. Rezko has a strong reputation in Illinois for being a political fixer. He's donated thousands of dollars to Illinois political campaigns, including Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Barack Hussein Obama. Obama's campaign confirms that approximately $150,000 was donated by Rezko.

(Politics as usual. You would expect better from Al Sharpton ... I ment Jesse Jackson ... er... Oh Yeah, Borrat Insane Obama. Change my eye.)

Spitzer, Hillary and Obama ... 3 peas in a pod.

2008-03-10T23:49:00.000-07:00

Why am I surprised that Disgraced New York Gov. Spitzer being Under Pressure to Resign for being the latest Dim to be caught up in a sex scandal? It is common place for Dims to cheat on their wives and to steal money. ( NY Gov. Spitzer Snagged by IRS Probe Into Money Laundering)

Typical Dims being Dims.

(Please note in 2007 Sen Obama voted in line with the Democrat party 100% of the time making him the most liberal Senator in office last year. Yet the Dims' dancing monkey claims to be about change. While in the State assembly in Illinios he had a chance to make changes but instead of making waves he simply voted present on almost every heated issue that came to a vote. I think I have pointed out time and again what the Dims are all about. Fool the masses. Promise bennies for the poor. Expand Gov't. And all the time line your own pockets. Obama is no different than Hillary or Spitzer.)

Obama the Savior of Al-Qaida

2008-03-10T21:38:00.000-07:00

Only in the whacked out PC world would Iowa Republican congressman Steve King have to defend his prediction that terrorists would celebrate if Democrat Barack Obama were elected president. (Obama will) certainly be viewed as a savior for them," King told The Associated Press. “That’s why you will see them supporting him, encouraging him.”King said his offices have been bombarded with calls — positive and negative — since he said Friday that al-Qaida “would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror.” (Well, that a duh statement.)

King cited Obama’s pledge to pull U.S. troops from Iraq, his father’s Muslim roots in Kenya and his middle name, Hussein, which King said has a meaning to terrorists.

Asked about the remarks as he campaigned in Mississippi, Obama said, “I think that Mr. King has it backwards. The fact that the continuation of a presence in Iraq as Senator McCain has suggested is exactly what, I think, will fan the flames of anti-American sentiment and make it more difficult for us to create a long-term and sustainable peace in the world. (Mr. Obama....think about what you just said. Do you not think that letting the Terrorists win, will not cause them to celebrate and make them bolder and the USA appear weaker to them? So, not only does Obama look like Curious George you are as dumb and naive as he is?

Obama denies being a Muslim but admits to having connections to the Islamic religion. He acknowledges spending part of his childhood in largely Muslim Indonesia and to smoking pot and selling crack. (Sounds like presidential material to me .... NOT!!!)

Is Obama too black or too white?

2008-03-04T22:05:00.000-08:00

For months we have heard Dims and fools like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson say Barack Obama's real problem isn't that he's too black — it's that he's too white.

So, why did the new Hillary Clinton ad cause an Internet stir Today among nut jobs who claim it deliberately darkens Barack Obama’s skin color?

The buzz began earlier the day, when the liberal Web site DailyKos.com showed side-by-side screen grabs of Barack Obama taken during a debate with Clinton in Cleveland last week. The screen grab used in the ad showed a clearly darker-skinned Obama, prompting some to wonder if it was done to highlight his race.

Whatever the case, one posting on the DailyKos site charged that while darkening footage may be considered standard practice for political ads trying to “cast the target as sinister,” it is “not an acceptable excuse.”

OK Girls and boys, it's History lesson time. After O.J. Simpson was arrested (in 1994 for murder not 2007 for Robbery), multiple publications carried his image. Notably, TIME magazine published an edition featuring an altered mugshot, darkening his skin and reducing the size of the prisoner ID number. This appeared on newsstands right next to an unaltered picture by Newsweek. Outcry from minority rights groups followed. Illustrator Matt Mahurin of TIME was the one to alter the image, saying later that he "wanted to make it more artful, more compelling."

Then as now the one thing the media missed is that their own assertion that dark is more sinister is in and of itself racist.
