My thoughts on Obama in Berlin Germany

Posted on

Okay, Here are my thoughts on Barack’s speech and about him being overseas.

First off, I don’t know how many readers of Hotair.com come over here and read my Blog. But in case you didn’t notice, I left early from Ed’s Show today. Why? Here’s why, okay?… and just hear me out. I’m just getting tired of it all. I’m getting tired of listening to Conservatives and their lame ass bullshit. What am I talking about? The sifting through Obama’s speeches to see if he contradicts himself. The constant lame ass mocking of his campaign. The very idiotic attempt to paint him as something that he isn’t. First it was that he was some sort of psudo-Muslim, Then it was a communist, then it was an elitist. It is all just stupid nonsense. In fact, I’ve just taken the sidebar ad off, with the link to the two sites, the one, that is run by pissed off Democrats and Hillary supporters and the other run by a Conservative, that makes a bunch of totally unproven accusations against Obama.

My biggest question to those who take some sort of warped pleasure in doing this is, have you people bothered to stop and look at how lame and stupid John McCain is making the Republican Party look? I know, Obama has made some gaffes, but has anyone bothered to check out how many gaffes McCain has made? The are just about equal, if not more.

As for what Barack did in Germany, I watched what little the drive by media showed. There were 200 thousand people there, and not the very little that was said over on Ed’s Show. The man, quite frankly, kicked some serious ass. He has upstaged John McCain and made him look like an out of touch old fool. The argument by the Conservatives that what he did was reserved for Presidents is quite frankly non-sequitur. Obama is not only running for President of the United States of America, he is running for the position of the leader of the damn free world. The quicker the Conservatives figure this out, the better off they will be. The problem is that the Republicans are more interested in droning the same ol’ lame assed, stale talking points, over and over and over and over, to the point sounding like someone with a bad case of tourettes syndrome.

I guess what I am a bit dismayed over, is the fact that talking points have become more popular than substance in this election, especially by the Republicans and Conservatives. It just gets old. I am just getting tired of the same stuff everyday. Nothing original, nothing new, just stale talking points.

I think that the best thing that the Republican Party and the Conservatives as a whole can do, is to accept the fact that John McCain is going to lose this election and get in the mode of working towards 2012. I mean, what the hell can John McCain run on?? He has zero credentials with the Economy or how to handle it. The war in Iraq is a big issue, but this economy is a much broader issue. It just seems that the more McCain tries to tout his leadership credentials, the more of buffoon he appears to be.

I’m saying all this because, quite frankly, I am just tapped out. I need a break from this headline chasing. So, tomorrow, unless some earth shattering headline demands me to write. I will be taking the day to just relax and not try and do this political opinion crap. I also may take the entire weekend off. I really need it. Because at this point, this whole blogging thing is quite frankly, starting to suck really bad.

What REALLY happened on Obama’s visit to Afghanistan

Posted on

This, an e-mail from someone in the USAF, It comes via Blackfive, where you can read the whole thing.

Quote:

As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand, he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.

Unbelievable. Tammi says she’s not voting for him, and I know I will not be either.

Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Chuck Baldwin Says “The Religious Right Is AWOL From The Real War”

Posted on

I am reposting this here, because I believe that it is an important read:

The Religious Right Is AWOL From The Real War
By Chuck Baldwin
July 23, 2008

This column is archived at
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20080723.html

I want to begin this column with one of my all-time favorite quotes. It
comes from the great German reformer Martin Luther. He said, “If I profess
with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of
God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at
that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be
professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier
is proved; and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight
and disgrace if he flinches at that point.”

Luther’s trenchant statement reminds us that today’s Christians, especially
our Christian leaders, are conspicuously absent from the field of battle.
Oh, they may host large crowds in their gatherings; they may deposit
multiplied millions of dollars in their financial accounts; they may receive
thunderous applause from politicians, but they have fled the battlefield at
the point of attack.

For the record, the real battlefield today is not abortion. It is not
homosexual marriage. It is not Social Security. It is not al Qaeda. It is
not taxes. It is not inflation. It is not electing conservatives. It is not
posting the Ten Commandments. It is not even the high cost of gasoline. That
is not to say that those issues are not important and not deserving of our
best efforts and attention, because they are. But those issues do not
represent the major battlefield today.

The battlefield where the devil has amassed his greatest forces and is
thrusting his deadliest armies is the surrender of our national sovereignty
and independence, and the creation of global government. And it is our own
political and corporate leaders that are facilitating this chicanery.
Furthermore, by refusing to oppose this surrender, our Christian leaders are
complicit as well.

Obviously, the surrender of our independence has been ongoing for some time.
However, under Bill Clinton and especially under G.W. Bush, the pace has
quickened exponentially.

Doubtless, the biggest reason President Bush has more aggressively hastened
the pace of America’s merger into supranational government is because he
enjoys widespread support among evangelical Christians. Absent opposition
from Christian leaders, G.W. Bush has virtually had a free hand. And please
know this: before Bush was a Republican, before he was a “conservative,”
before he was a Christian, he was and is a globalist, as was his father and
grandfather before him.

Because our national Christian leaders are content to revel in the lap of
political cronyism with President Bush (and the Republican Party), they have
abandoned their positions as watchmen on the wall. Instead of being watchmen
and heralds of truth, they have become political lackeys and toadies for the
GOP.

Now, just yesterday, James Dobson declares that he “might” support John
McCain. This in spite of the fact that only a few months ago Mr. Dobson
promised, “I cannot and I will not vote for Sen. John McCain as a matter of
conscience.”

Ah, but that is just the problem: when it comes to groveling before the GOP,
our Christian leaders have no conscience. Hence, James Dobson is now
publicly saying he “might” support McCain.

The ones who are doing the yeoman’s work in trying to warn the American
people to what is happening in regard to the surrender of our country’s
liberties and independence are people such as Congressman Ron Paul and Dr.
Jerome Corsi.

Many of you know Corsi as the man who co-authored the Number 1 New York
Times best-seller, “Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against
John Kerry.”

Jerome Corsi holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science. He
is not some fringe-radical (not that Harvard hasn’t produced its own
radicals). Religiously, my understanding is that Corsi is either a Roman
Catholic or Episcopalian. However, Corsi is doing what James Dobson, Tony
Perkins, et al. should be doing, but aren’t: he is sounding the trumpet of
truth for the real battlefield.

In a nutshell, Corsi warns us that G.W. Bush is secretly working to merge
the United States into a trilateral government with Canada and Mexico. Corsi
maintains that back in March of 2005, President Bush, Mexican President
Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin entered into an
agreement that binds the three countries into a regional or hemispheric
government.

Corsi insists that this is one of the central reasons why Bush is so adamant
about granting amnesty to Mexico’s illegal aliens. Bush is simply following
through with his commitment to Fox and Martin.

Corsi also notes that this new hemispheric entity already has a name. It is
called the North American Union (NAU), and it is being created without any
input (or even knowledge) from our legislative or judicial branches of
government. The official name of the agreement made between the three
leaders is the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP).
Obviously, the new NAU is modeled after the already established European
Union (EU).

Folks, please be aware that President Bush has already committed the United
States to a regional or hemispheric government. When completed, this
regional government will control everything relative to the “security” and
“prosperity” of this new North American Union. That includes everything
relating to travel, law enforcement, trade, education, military matters,
etc. So, what is left out? Nothing.

Please remember, too, that all of this is being done without any input from
the American people or their elected representatives at the state or federal
level. I would even dare say that the vast majority of congressmen and
senators are completely oblivious to the fact that this is even happening.
With the attention of the American people (and Congress) focused on the
Middle East, Bush and his cabal of elitists are moving forward with plans to
surrender our national independence and merge our country into a regional
government. Friends, this is the real war; this is the real battlefield.

When America loses its sovereignty and independence, we will lose all of our
fundamental liberties. The Constitution will be meaningless and irrelevant.
The Bill of Rights will be moot. The principles of religious liberty, the
right to life, and the Christian foundation of our country will be passé.
And, as I said at the outset of this column, our national leaders,
especially our Christian leaders, are totally absent from this battlefield.

The surrender of our national sovereignty and independence is where the
battle currently rages; it is where the devil is at this moment attacking
(to quote Luther). But where is the Religious Right? They have flinched and
fled in the face of battle. They would rather hold onto their precious perks
of power within the ivory towers of partisan politics. Luther is right:
their actions are disgraceful.

Faux Liberal Outrage Number 350,435,987

Posted on

Here we go again….. Remember that statement that McCain made yesterday? The one where he spoke the gritty truth about the Marxist magic negro running for President?

Now it is seems that the Obama worshiping jackass Joe Klein is having a commie liberal meltdown over it.

Quote:

This is the ninth presidential campaign I’ve covered. I can’t remember a more scurrilous statement by a major party candidate. It smacks of desperation. It renews questions about whether McCain has the right temperament for the presidency. How sad.

Sorry Joe, but for once, John McCain spoke the truth about that empty suit, commie liberal negro running for President.

I guess after feeling the heat, Joe comes back and leaves a rather lame update to his article:

Quote:

The reality is that neither Barack Obama nor Nouri al-Maliki nor most anybody else believes that the Iraq war can be “lost” at this point. The reality is that no matter who is elected President, we are looking at a residual U.S. force of 30-50,000 by 2011 (a year ahead of the previous schedule). The reality is that McCain should be proud that he helped salvage a disastrous situation by pushing the counterinsurgency plan. It’s something to run on. But, at this point, McCain must sense that it’s not a winning hand. Obama, the poker player, has drawn to an inside straight: the Iraqis favor his plan over McCain’s long-term bases. That must be galling. But it’s no excuse to pop off the way McCain did. It was, shockingly, unpresidential.

UnPresidential? UnPresidential?!?! UnPresidential?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I suppose going over to Iraq on a basic Dog and Pony show with faked interviews is Presidential?

I suppose not being able to admit that the Surge has actually WORKED is Presidential?

I suppose his continual flip-flipping on everything under the damn sun, is Presidential?

I suppose Obamas ever expanding list of Gaffes are Presidential?

Hell, if that’s Presidential man, just appoint a damn dictator and get it the hell over with, because, quite frankly, I would rather live under the rule of a communist dictator, than to have to live with the closet Communist negro President that is a bigger bumbling idiot that the current one we have in there now.

About the McCain Gaffe Gate….

Posted on1 Comment

I stand in amazement of Liberal Faux outrage coverage of the supposed Gaffes that John McCain has made.

But really, has ANYONE bothered to notice how many gaffes that OBAMA has made in this election cycle?

I mean, let’s review….:

  1. What about the Gaffe of Obama saying that there were 57 States?
  2. What about his gaffe where he said "On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong" He sees dead people? Hmmm…
  3. How about the fact that Obama has no earthly clue what language the people of Afghanistan speak??
  4. How about his gaffe about his parents and Selma, Alabama? Barack was Born in 1961.
  5. How about when 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." — Sorry, Barry, your people did and still do.
  6. How about 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.
  7. How about when Obama referred to the ‘president’ of Canada. Canada has a prime minister, not a president.
  8. How about when Obama said: "We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there." Of course, a fact check proved that wrong.

So, in all honesty, who is the biggest gaffer here? McCain or Obama?

Asked about this, the only thing Obama could or would say, would be… "Uhhhhh"

Another reason why I cannot STAND President George W. Bush

Posted on

Look for this to be the next big story.

Seen at the Houston Political Blog (via HuffPo)

Update: Video was Pulled head on over to the Site and watch the video.

Update #2: Here’s a snippet of it:

The Basic Transcript:

It is uncertain, there’s no question about it.

Wall Street got drunk, it got drunk, (it’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your tv cameras.) It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up, and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments.

And now we got a housing issue, not in Houston, and evidently, not in Dallas, because Laura was over there trying to buy a house today. (laugher.. Crawford!)

I like Crawford, unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I’m now no longer the decision maker. She’ll be deciding, thanks for the suggestion! I suggest you don’t yell it out when she’s here. Later, telling her “Hey honey, we’ve been on government pay now for 14 years… so go slow!”

It’s uh.. caused me to lose my train of thought. Anyway.

As a caveat, the cameras were supposed to be off, but obviously, a tape was rolling. But still it speaks to the Political tone deafness of the President. He is yucking it up, while people are losing their houses and while people are dying, because of a pointless and undeclared war in Iraq. Yes, I know, the surge has worked, but still to the general populous of America, this just looks bad. This also could possibly hurt McCain in the long run, because I have sneaky suspicion that the 527’s and possibly Obama campaign might use a video like this, to do a hit job on McCain. In a attempt to try and push McCain closer to Bush.

Snort worthy quote…..

Posted on1 Comment

I happened to be reading the headlines, and I happened to see a story in the National Enquirer about John Edwards supposedly meeting a supposed lover, Rielle Hunter. Of course, we just know about the National Enquirer’s journalistic integrity. 🙄

Anyhow, the snort worthy quote is from Steve over at Hog On Ice:

My observations:

1. Thank God it wasn’t a man.

2. Nice manly recovery, running into a stairwell and then hiding on a toilet.

3. Gary Hart sends his regards.

Obama admits the surge worked….

Posted on1 Comment

Via Marc Ambinder

Couric: But talking microcosmically, did the surge, the addition of 30,000 additional troops … help the situation in Iraq?

Obama: Katie, as … you’ve asked me three different times, and I have said repeatedly that there is no doubt that our troops helped to reduce violence. There’s no doubt.

Couric: But yet you’re saying … given what you know now, you still wouldn’t support it … so I’m just trying to understand this.

Obama: Because … it’s pretty straightforward. By us putting $10 billion to $12 billion a month, $200 billion, that’s money that could have gone into Afghanistan. Those additional troops could have gone into Afghanistan. That money also could have been used to shore up a declining economic situation in the United States. That money could have been applied to having a serious energy security plan so that we were reducing our demand on oil, which is helping to fund the insurgents in many countries. So those are all factors that would be taken into consideration in my decision– to deal with a specific tactic or strategy inside of Iraq.

Couric: And I really don’t mean to belabor this, Senator, because I’m really, I’m trying … to figure out your position. Do you think the level of security in Iraq …

Obama: Yes.

Couric … would exist today without the surge?

Obama: Katie, I have no idea what would have happened had we applied my approach, which was to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation. So this is all hypotheticals. What I can say is that there’s no doubt that our U.S. troops have contributed to a reduction of violence in Iraq. I said that– not just today, not just yesterday, but I’ve said that– previously. What that doesn’t change is that we’ve got to have a different strategic approach if we’re going to make America as safe as possible.

Why can’t this idiot just admit that the fucking surge worked and that he was wrong?

What an asshole!

The again, we are talking about Obama.

Obama’s trip to Iraq, is, just what McCain’s staffers say that it was, a dog and pony show…

Posted on1 Comment

In rare moment of candor, MSNBC shows some objectivity…

The Story: Andrea on Obama Trip: ‘What Some Would Call Fake Interviews’ | NewsBusters.org

Andrea Mitchell might be a doyenne of the liberal media, but she has her reporter’s pride and principles, both of which have been trampled by the way the Obama campaign has managed the media during the candidate’s current trip to Afghanistan and Iraq. Mitchell let loose on this evening’s Hardball, speaking of "fake interviews" and indicating we don’t know the truth of the trip because we don’t know what was edited out of the video that’s been released.

Before Mitchell made her displeasure known, Roger Simon of Politico, Chris Matthews’s other guest during the segment, depicted the images coming out of the war zone as all Obama could have dreamed of.

The Video:

Transcript:

ROGER SIMON: The optics are all very good on this trip. I mean, the beginning of this trip is so good, Senator Obama might just want to call off the end and just keep running the videotape. He goes into a gym, everybody, all the service people there cheer. He shoots a basket, you know, it goes through the hoop. He’s obviously
standing there with troops, they seem to be liking him, smiling. They don’t seem to feel that Barack Obama wants to desert them, to leave them in Iraq. This is exactly what the Obama campaign hoped for,
and this was supposed to be the tough part of the trip. The meatiest part of the trip in Jordan and Israel may be tough in terms of foreign policy, but the back end of the trip to cheering European crowds will certainly be as good if not better than this. So I think he’s feeling
very good right now.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Andrea, I want to get ethnic a little bit here —

ANDREA MITCHELL: This is message —

MATTHEWS: Yeah, go ahead, please.

 

My Take: I’m just going to repost here, what I said over on Jack Moss‘s Blog:

Jack,

I’m just going to tell it like it is. This Commie Liberal is, basically, a joke. If it were not for the fact that his skin was black. He wouldn’t be even running for President. If his name was George or Bill or John. He’d still be in Congress or worse yet, working in a law office
somewhere. Because he is black, he is getting special treatment. He is a perfect representation of the Generation of Blacks who do not appreciate what their ancestors went through. I think of some of them
were put BACK into chains, they’d be a little more appreciative of the freedom that they have.

Paleo Pat

Further more, let me just say this. I think it is a freaking outrage that the family of Martin Luther King Jr. is sitting idly by as this empty suit, commie liberal, rides into the White House on the shoulders of their Father. Then again, Martin Luther King Jr. was rumored to be a Commie as well, so, I guess birds of a feather, flock together.

That the media is in the tank for the Obamasssiah….

The Story Via Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.

Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.

A Rasmussen Reports survey earlier this year found that just 24% of American voters have a favorable opinion of the New York Times. The paper’s ratings divided sharply along partisan and ideological lines, with liberals far more supportive of the paper than conservatives.

At the time of that survey, the Times was being criticized for an article it had run about McCain’s ties to lobbyists. Sixty-six percent (66%) of those who were aware of the story in question believed it was an attempt by the paper to hurt the McCain campaign.

In the latest survey, a plurality of Democrats—37%– say most reporters try to offer unbiased coverage of the campaign. Twenty-seven percent (27%) believe most reporters are trying to help Obama and 21% in Obama’s party think reporters are trying to help the Republican candidate.

Among Republicans, 78% believe reporters are trying to help Obama and 10% see most offering unbiased coverage.

As for unaffiliated voters, 50% see a pro-Obama bias and 21% see unbiased coverage. Just 12% of those not affiliated with either major party believe the reporters are trying to help McCain.

In a more general sense, 45% say that most reporters would hide information if it hurt the candidate they wanted to win. Just 30% disagree and 25% are not sure. Democrats are evenly divided as to whether a reporter would release such information while Republicans and unaffiliated voters have less confidence in the reporters.

Perhaps Bill O’ was right after all. I will be the first to admit. MSNBC does seem to be in the tank for Obama. CNN was for Hillary, but seeing she is out, they have swung their support behind Obama. The notable exception being Lou Dobbs. The only Anti-Obama network, really, is Fox News. However, from what I have read in various places, Even Fox has softened their coverage on him as well. The notable exception there is Sean Hannity and of course, Bill O.

It is quite funny, anytime you say to a Liberal that media is in the tank for Obama. Their heads explode and they accuse you of being a racist bigot.

Anyone that wants to know the real truth about B. Hussein Obama, check out the picture of ol’ Barry with the cigarette in his mouth and click it, and also check out the link below it, to read about his communist ties. It is a real eye opener.

The real funny thing is how the Liberals try and spin this story. Check out Huffpo‘s Poor attempt at Spin.

Whoowee… All that spin, I’m so dizzy... 😉

Obama brings in 25 Million….in a day. UPDATE: Perhaps Not

Posted on

Not a bad haul at all…

Quote:

After locking up his party’s presidential nomination, Barack Obama’s fundraising operation came roaring back to life in June, generating more than a million dollars on five days, including a whopping $25 million that came in on the last day of the month.

His one-day haul represents nearly half of his monthly total and more than Republican rival John McCain generated for the entire month. During the month, McCain did not have a single day in which he raised a million dollars.

Overall, Obama raised $54 million for his campaign in June, compared to $22 million for McCain.– Continue reading: Obama roars with $25M one-day haul – Jeanne Cummings – Politico.com

On one hand, this seems like a wonderful thing. However, there was another Republican candidate who found out that money cannot buy an election, and that was Mitt Romney. However, Obama is not even some league with Romney. But I digress.

Honestly, Romney lost because of his arrogance and his mocking of John McCain constantly. Plus, he was a mormon and the Evangelical Community still, to this day, has a rather luckwarm relationship with Mormonism.

It must not go unsaid, that Obama is still having trouble connecting with average, inner city, African-American, because they do not see him authentic and sympathetic to their cause. Which is, of course, identity politics. But then again, is not that what Democrat’s are known for? Anyhow, where Obama is connecting, is where the population of Blacks are very small, mostly in the Midwestern States, in the heartland of America, where the idea of a Black President is more a novel idea.

But still, 25 Million, in a day? Good Godfrey! Donations are accepted, I don’t discrimate. 😀 😉 😛 😆

Update: Perhaps Not: Politico’s Updated Story says: (H/T to AP @ HotAir)

An initial summary of Obama’s donations posted on the
FEC website Sunday night grouped all of his un-itemized donations of
less than $200 on the same day – June 30th. That left the impression
that Obama had an astonishingly good — $25 million – final fundraising
day for the month and Politico made that the lead of this story.

Turns out, Obama raised nearly $4 million on June 30th, a healthy amount certainly. But the $21 million from the un-itemized small

donors, which are those who are not named because they haven’t given
more than $200, came in throughout the month and not on a single day.
The FEC is adding an explanatory note to avoid such confusion in the
future, said FEC spokesman Bob Biersback.

So Much for that. 🙄

Iraqi Officials desire US Pullout by 2010

I can’t quote it, due it being a AP Story.

But you can go read it and see for yourself.

I think the best thing that John McCain can do at this point, is either shut the hell up or just just endorse the plan and move on.

Otherwise, John McCain will look like an imperialist, if he says anything contrary to what is being reported. But he does have Neo-Con Michael Goldfarb working for him, so, there’s no telling with that idiot might say.

Either way, it is going to be quite interesting how this whole story plays out.

Hey, Dobson! Nobody cares what YOU think about ANYONE or ANYTHING!

Good grief, is this idiot still mumbling about Politics? Egad.

The Story:Dobson shifts positions, may endorse McCain (via Yahoo! News)

Conservative Christian leader James Dobson has softened his stance against Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, saying he could reverse his position and endorse the Arizona senator despite serious misgivings.

“I never thought I would hear myself saying this,” Dobson said in a radio broadcast to air Monday. “… While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might.”

Dobson and other evangelical leaders unimpressed by McCain increasingly are taking a lesser-of-two-evils approach to the 2008 race. Dobson and his guest, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler, spend most of the pretaped Focus on the Family radio program criticizing Democratic candidate Barack Obama, getting to McCain at the very end.

This is one of the many so-called “Christians” and Religious Pharisees who really, really, burns my behind. If you’re a Christian and you believe that Christians should have influence in political affairs, you might want to stop here. Because what I am about to say, might just make your head explode.

James Dobson and his band of Conservative Christians, inspired by Jerry Falwell and Pat Roberson, have, for over the past 30 years, tried to muscle their way into Washington Politics. This is, in fact, directly polar opposite of what the founding Fathers of this great country had in mind, when they fled Great Britain and settled in the New World in 1776.

The reason why the Pilgrims left Great Britain is because the Roman Catholic Church, at the time, was highly influencing the Political World in England, at the time. Because of this, the Pilgrims, or as they were called, puritans, were being persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church and the King of Great Britain for their refusal to submit to the Roman Catholic Church’s dogma. Because of that, the pilgrims left Great Britain on a boat to find a New Land. Where they could practice their Religion without fear of being arrested and possibly burned at the stake.

But yet, today we have Religious hustlers like James Dobson who are constantly wanting to turn The United States of America from a Democracy to a Theocracy! This my friends is outrageous and about as asinine as it comes. That Constitution that sits in Washignton D.C. was never written to give preference to any form of Religion whatsoever.

The Pledge that we say, and what is inscripted in the Congress Halls, says, “One Nation, Under God.” It does NOT say, “One Nation, under Evangelical Christianity”! But yet, you have Religious hucksters like James Dobson who want to see it changed to just that. That my friends is what is truly wrong with the whole Conservative Christian movement. They want to take this nation into the same sort of mentality that existed in Great Britain when the Pilgrims left and came to the new World.

As a Libertarian, as someone who believes in individual freedoms and freedom OF and FROM Religion, I think that what James Dobson is doing is absolutely sickening. Attempting to influence public thinking. Is not that a violation of the IRS’s rules and regulations, regarding Religious Ministries getting involved in Politics? It sure sounds like it to me. Where is our feckless Government? Why isn’t he getting a warning letter?

One Republican Senator got it correct, and that was the late great Senator Barry Goldwater, once, I am told, when he was running for President in 1964, was asked by a reporter, about what could Jerry Falwell and his followers, do for his Campaign. Goldwater replied, “I know what I’d like to do to him”, when asked, he simply said, “I’d like to put my foot up his ass!” Needless to say, Goldwater did not get much support from among the establishment Conservative Christians. Many young people supported him, but many of the older Religious types turned their noses up at Goldwater. This was because Berry Goldwater refused to give these people any sort of dialog, because Goldwater knew their agenda and that was and still is, to Christianize America. Because of this, Goldwater never received the support from the Christian community. Because of this, we ended up with, what I consider to be one of our nation’s worst Presidents ever. of whom which went on to cause one of the worst social upheavals in this country. All over a war, that was never formally declared and which our Nation should have never bothered getting involved in, sort of like one we’re involved with today, in Iraq. Afghanistan is another story entirely.

Until someone tells these Conservative Christians to get lost. Whomever attempts to run for President will have to contend with types like Dobson for many years to come.

That my friends, is one, of many, things that are known as the “Shame of America”.

Hey, Olbermann, Where’s the Outrage over this one?

(H/T HotAir)

This is disgusting:

Phil “I’m a closet fagboy” Graham, ought to be fired for that one, as should be the engineer who did that.

Because you just know that if that would have been Obama, and they would have shown a clip of Osama Bin Laden and it would have been on Fox News, the outrage would have been deafening.

But because it is MSNBC, it’s just a slight mistake.

Unbelievable.

Now the DNC is DEMANDING their supporters support Obama.

This comes via: TPM Election Central

Dear Democratic Friends:

2008 is a Democratic year-at all levels in all the states. The opportunity is ours. We just have to seize it.

We experienced an exciting, intense, sometimes difficult, campaign to nominate our presidential candidate. Now it’s over. Barack Obama won.

I supported Hillary Clinton and am proud and pleased that I did. But she lost. Barack Obama won. It’s over.

It is time for all Democrats, supporters of Senator Clinton and all other contenders for the nomination, to stand with him to secure his election and the election of Democrats at all levels of competition.

I must confess a bit of fatigue and irritation with people who continue to carp, complain, and criticize the results of the primary and lay down conditions for their support. The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t establish conditions to recognize the Boston Celtics as NBA Champions; Roger Federer did not demand concessions before recognizing that Rafael Nadal defeated him at Wimbledon.

It is time to act in a mature and resourceful fashion. It’s time to put the primaries behind us. It’s time to support Barack Obama without conditions or demands.

It’s time to WIN for Barack Obama, the Democratic Party, America, and our future. We have an unparalleled opportunity. I hope we will all do everything we can to seize the moment.

See you at the Inauguration.

Sincerely,

Don Fowler
DNC Member At-Large, South Carolina
Former Chair of the Democratic National Committee

Alice Germond
Secretary, Democratic National Committee

and of course, Hillary’s supporters are basically saying “Nigga Please!”

I can’t say that I blame them, at all. I mean what does B. Hussein Obama have to offer? Not much, if the truth is to be really known.

Which gives more fuel to the fire of this comparison:

Just saying ya’ll, just sayin’…..

What really cracks me up and how they say he won fair and square. Which is, of course, a bunch of horse shit. What really happened was, The Democratic Party decided to, instead of splitting the votes 50/50, which would have been fair. They decided to give Obama the unfair share of the votes and people like me, who was still kinda in the Democrats ballpark, had his vote given to a person that is not qualified to be in the White House.

You see NOW why I left that bunch of damn Commie Liberals for the sanity of Conservative Politics?

A article that I think everyone needs to read.

Posted on1 Comment

I think all Americans should read this.

“Obama ain’t black.”

I turned to look over my shoulder to see who had uttered that ridiculous statement.

“Pardon Me?” I squinted at the dark-skinned man who had just interjected himself into my over-coffee conversation with my buddy, Kevin.

“Obama ain’t black.” He said again more matter-of-factly as he walked around the porcelain dividing wall and stood at our table where he could be more active in our conversation.

“My name’s Andree,” he said as he extended his hand. “I couldn’t help but hear what you boys had been discussin’ and I don’t mean to stick my nose in where it don’t belong, but I couldn’t leave without settin’ you straight. Obama ain’t black.”

I looked at Kevin as he shifted nervously in his seat, not sure how to take this visitor to our table.

“Well, have a seat Andree,” somewhat trying to judge the book by its cover. “I’m Dave, but most folks call me Coach, and this is Kevin.” Kevin extended his hand politely.——- Click the link to read the rest of Conveniently Black by Dave Daubenmire (via NewsWithViews.com

I will simply say the following, that it is pretty telling when Obama is doing better in White America, out in places where blacks are in rare supply, than he is in the more urban communities.

I don’t have much to add to this article… Because Dave says it all in this article. Enjoy.

As I thought, Iraqi P.M. says that his words were misunderstood.

Posted on

Uh-huh, So I thought….

Via Commie News Network, (of all places…)

Quote:

A German magazine quoted Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki as saying that he backed a proposal by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq within 16 months. <

“U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months,” he said in an interview with Der Spiegel that was released Saturday.

“That, we think, would be the right time frame for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes,” he said.

But a spokesman for al-Maliki said his remarks “were misunderstood, mistranslated and not conveyed accurately.”

Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the possibility of troop withdrawal was based on the continuance of security improvements, echoing statements that the White House made Friday after a meeting between al-Maliki and U.S. President Bush.

Such as I thought, the Democrat owned and ran communist Liberal media attempted to spin this to make it say that Iraq’s PM wanted us out yesterday. The Iraqi Government saw that and rushed to make it clear, as not to insult those who helped give them Liberty. Good for them.

Of course, the Liberal AP is already spinning that.

What further proof do we need, that Liberal are just commies with a fancy name?

In a related report, even Fallon, who worked at Centcom, says that we should stay there until the damn job is done.

The Obamassiah makes it overseas, Iraqi PM supposedly backs Obama’s plan of defeat.

A good Saturday afternoon to you all. 😀

The big news cycle today is Obamassiah is on his overseas PhotoOp Trip, and already there is a story out that the Iraqi P.M. is supposedly supporting Obama’s Plan of retreat and defeat.

Actually, this is what is going to happen in Iraq, regardless of what that turban-headed idiot thinks, or his people.

Moron. I swear, his Worst Person in the World’s are sometimes good. But this is just sloppy. Edward R. Murrow would not be impressed.

This and him telling the people at the Pentagon to go to hell. Of whom are U.S. Troops too, I’m starting to wonder about Olby. I think he’s losing his touch.

Not mention, that this jerk likes to belittle people with learning disabilities like A.D.D. and A.D.H.D.

So long Gramm, Thanks for the Fish.

Another McCain distraction, under the bus!

“It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Sen. McCain on important economic issues facing the country,” the former Texas senator said in statement. “That kind of distraction hurts not only Sen. McCain’s ability to present concrete programs to deal with the country’s problems, it hurts the country. To end this distraction and get on with the real debate, I hereby step down as co-chair of the McCain Campaign and join the growing number of rank-and-file McCain supporters.” – Washington Wire – WSJ.com : Sen. Gramm Leaves McCain Camp

Good riddance. I’ll admit it, his asinine comments even offended me, and I’m a Conservative.

Of course, this is not good enough for the Obamassiah:

“The question for John McCain isn’t whether Phil Gramm will continue as chairman of his campaign, but whether he will continue to keep the economic plan that Gramm authored and that represents a continuation of the polices that have failed American families for the last eight years,” said Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan.

Whether that happens or not is any man’s guess. If his recent campaign is any indication, nothing will change. His appointment of a Open Border advocate, being one of the many things wrong with McCain’s campaign.

The Story: McCain POW bud: Muslims ‘going to kill us’ | Naked Politics

One of John McCain’s fellow POW’s in Vietnam defended the war in Iraq, saying, “The Muslims have said either we kneel or they’re going to kill us.”

In a phone call with reporters arranged by Republican Party of Florida, Colonel Bud Day added: “I don’t intend to kneel and I don’t advocate to anybody that we kneel, and John doesn’t advocate to anybody that we kneel.”

The man spoke the truth, and that’s a problem?

Muslim leaders have complained that they have been villified as terrorists since the Sept. 11 attacks.

Two Words, tough shit.

Here’s an excellent video, made by Republican Party of Florida:

In case anyone hasn’t noticed, Islam IS a religion of war, and NOT peace, don’t believe me?

Watch this:

I rest my case.
