There’s Still hope for America!

Yes, Ladies and Gents, It appears that there will be still some hope for balanced Government! 😀

Saxby Chambliss has won the race for Georgia Senate.

The numbers:

Chambliss (R) 1,145,192– Martin (D) 820,737 with 92% reporting as of this posting

This closes down the notion that Barack Obama would have a filibusterer proof Senate…..  yay! 😀

Some of you might be shocked to know that I am extremely happy about this. I am happy for a number of reasons; First off, this will force Obama to have to utterly abandon his agenda of radical socializing the United States of America. It will slow the Liberal agenda of some of the Liberal Left.

But most important of all, it insures that there will still some semblance of balanced Government in Washington D.C.; I believe that balanced Government is paramount in a free and democratic society.

So, while I would have like to have seen more Conservatives in the Senate. I’ll take this one!

A big congratulations to the Senator Chambliss! 😀

….and on a Personal note, Whitfield County, which is the County Seat for Dalton, Georgia voted 9,738 to 3,533 in favor of Chambliss, I guess them Dalton folk are smarter than I’ve given them credit for! 😉

The Following was made by me. It is my feelings towards those who opposed and still oppose the help that the Detroit Auto Industry needs. It might cost me readers, but it is how I feel.

Thank you for your support

Thank you for your support

Update: I posted this for one reason and one reason alone, Washington D.C. will hand over 4 BILLION dollars to Wall Street banks and not even flinch, but when Detroit needs help, they are like “You need a plan.” I am not saying that the companies are not at fault. But it just strikes me as pretty damned funny that Wall St. Gets that help and Detroit gets told to go fuck themselves, in essence. So, Yeah, I’m a little pissed off and a bit jaded at this point. Can’t you tell??!

Guest Voice: Dear Charlotte – You Are Bankrupt

Dear Charlotte – You Are Bankrupt

By J.J. Jackson

Dear Charlotte,

Even though you are far too young yet to understand this letter, and you are rightfully more interested in seeing how much noise you can make by throwing all of our pots and pans on the floor, I wanted to let you know that I am sorry. I am sorry at what has happened to you. For you see, you are bankrupt.

I know that this will come as a shock to you once you are old enough to read these words considering that you have never held a job, earned a wage or incurred a single debt to your name. But it is true and I am sorry that I was not able to stop this from happening. Believe me, your mother and I tried and tried hard to not have you placed in such a situation. We have worked hard, paid our bills and lived within our means.

It is not because of us, your parents, that you are bankrupt however. Ask your mother when you are older about how every week I toiled at the computer and wrote numerous articles and blog postings about the misbegotten economic ideas of our nation. These are the ideas and practices which are the real reason why, before you can even think about needing to earn a wage to support yourself, you will be tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in debt to the federal government.

I am sad for you. I am sad for you because these are not burdens that someone who is not yet even two years old should be saddled with. It is not right that the people of this once great nation have stripped you of so much at such a young age and sold you, without permission or without you having committed any crime, into slavery and bound you to serve them and their greed.

A lot of citizens have mortgaged your future for their own present comfort and security. Knowing how it feels to have my own future mortgaged by these same greedy, and dare I say unrighteous, souls I understand that it will only get worse for you as you grow up. Your mother and I already have a heavy weight on our own shoulders in which thousands of our hard earned dollars are taken by the government at the behest of the greedy who did not care enough about their own future to save for their own retirement and believe they are entitled to such at our expense. We are burdened with the heavy cost of other greedy folks who believe that we should pay for their health care because of the virtue of our success while they have not cared one bit to better their own lots in life and acquire that which they desire. And then there are the myriad of other thieves that have compiled agencies of government to demand from us to pay the other debts that they could not pay themselves.

My dear Charlotte, I know it will only get worse for you because it has only gotten worse for us. Already in the past year the government has issued hundreds of billions of dollars in debt certificates, paper money with no substantive backing simply printed on a whim, to line the pockets of people that have made more bad choices in ten minutes than you will make in your lifetime and who believe that they are “too big to fail.” The government calls these debt certificates “money,” but they are nothing more than I.O.U.s which are being financed by foreign governments that will demand the interest we are promising them in return for taking on this debt. Yes, you, my dear, will be tasked to repay these “loans” and all the other spiraling costs of a government run amok beyond sound limits.

For now you will not have to worry much about this looming crisis. There is so much that is of greater importance to you at this moment and for the next few years. You will thrill in chasing the dogs around the living room as they try to escape your all encompassing love and simple desire for just a hug and a sloppy doggie kiss from them. You will be learning your ABC’s and your 123’s and discovering new words. You will be busy trying to mimic new actions you see your mother and I doing and continue trying to sweep the floor, dust the table and clumsily sop up spills with paper towels. You will soon be learning how to ride a bike and to roller-skate. You will undoubtedly revel in enjoying the thrills of the first snow each year and then the first blossoms of spring that will follow. You will eagerly anticipate Christmas morning for many years and what Saint Nicolas has brought for you as a reward for being a good little girl.

I do not write this letter to you in order to strip you of the childish joy you will be filled with over the coming years. I do not expect you to even understand the severity of the situation in which you have been placed even when you are able to read these words, probably asking how to pronounce certain new and unfamiliar ones that you will come across in doing so. I do however write this letter to you hoping that someday, when you are older and wiser and buried by the avalanche of public debt that is bearing down on you, you will find it in your heart to forgive me for not being able to stop the pending disaster which will doom you to a life of servitude to the slothful and the greedy. I hope that you will forgive me for not being able to stop the bad policies of our government that will invariably force you to have to work even harder to support not only yourself but also support all those that the bureaucracy has decided that you must, in addition to yourself, while pursuing the American Dream.

I know that you will be able to succeed in bettering yourself and taking care of yourself but I am sad and disappointed in myself that I have not been able to make it easier on you to live free and experience a greater sense of liberty than the generation before you. I hope and pray that you will not hold it against us, your parents. And I want you to know that I will continue to do everything in my power so that I will, hopefully, one day be able to tear up this letter and never have you read it.

Love eternally,

Your Father

Finally – An African-American that gets it!

A very excellent article by Erik Rush on the problems on Wall Street and our Economy.

Highly Recommended! 😀

Money Quote:

Remember affirmative action? It was that lovely social program that (again, ostensibly) promoted access to education and employment to minority groups, usually ethnic minorities, women and those considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. In practice, education and job opportunities wound up being made available to many who were either indolent or unqualified, as opposed to disenfranchised, resulting in inequity, a lowering of standards and bitterness on the part of qualified, industrious Americans who were passed over for these opportunities.

Man, he is ever right. God is he ever.

Blogs 4 Borders is going on long term Hiatus!

It seems that my friends M.J. and Jake are going have to put Blogs for Borders on Long term hiatus, due to a personal financial situation. Hey, it’s tough everywhere right now, including in the world of border security. I know their pain, all too well, this is why I stick up for the middle class on this Blog.

Here’s their “final” Video:

I don’t know if they’ll be back, but until then, you can head on over to their Blog called “Freedom Folks” and check out the latest on the battle against illegal immigration.

Former Indy Senate Candidate still wants to see Bush and Cheney Impeached

Via the Independent Political Report:

via contact.ipr@gmail.com

OPEN LETTER TO TOM ALLEN:
IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO DO THE RIGHT THING

Dear Tom,

You and I have spoken over the years about a number of different items for your consideration as a Congressman. Most recently the central issue that concerned me has been the impeachment of the Vice President and the President. On that point, despite your public statement in Cape Neddick over a year ago that you believe “impeachable offenses have been committed,” you have been adamant about refusing either to co-sponsor an impeachment resolution or to submit a resolution of your own.

You have offered the following reasons for your stance: it will detract from the business of Congress and Congress will not be able to do anything else; and, there isn’t enough time for an impeachment process. In addition you implied that it was not a politically wise move to undertake. I have never agreed with these rationalizations, I do not agree with them today, and I will not accept the reason that politics trumps preserving the Constitution and the nation.

The most important business of Congress and those elected to serve is contained in the oath of office to which you swore — “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic…”

That the President and Vice-President and other members of the administration have committed “high crimes and misdemeanors” is a matter of public record by their own admissions. I do not need to remind you of the particulars since I believe that you have familiarized yourself with the 39 impeachment charges submitted by your colleague, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH). Thus, I submit that an impeachment investigation could be conducted in very short order. Perhaps a day or two would suffice.

You may wonder why I am bringing up this topic with only two months remaining in the Bush administration. I raise it because there is still time to preserve the Constitution and to prevent future administrations from further destroying the balance of powers among the three branches of government. The Founding Fathers in their Declaration of Independence railed against a unitary executive, King George, and now we have another George who is governing in like manner and potentially establishing precedent for future “Georges.”

An article in the New York Times [11/13/08] by Charles Savage details the precedent that has been established by former presidents – Harry Truman and Richard Nixon — to exercise executive privilege even after leaving office. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is quoted as saying, “The Bush administration overstepped in its exertion of executive privilege, and may very well try to continue to shield information from the American people after it leaves office.” If this were to be the case, then the subpoenas issued by Congress would become moot and the American people would not learn about torture of detainees and the roles of Karl Rove and Harriet Miers in the firing of federal prosecutors among other key issues.

The commencement of an impeachment hearing will preclude the administration from exercising executive privilege and ignoring subpoenas. And perhaps most importantly, it will preclude President Bush from issuing a self-pardon, pardoning Scooter Libby, preemptively pardoning Dick Cheney and others who serve or have served in his administration.

Therefore, Tom, I ask you in these closing days of your term in office to demonstrate that you know what is right, that your oath of office is meaningful to you and that you have the courage to protect your country and its Constitution. I ask that you join as a co-sponsor of the Impeachment Resolutions filed by Rep. Kucinich, or in the alternative, file your own impeachment resolution. Once having accomplished either of those acts, stand tall and advocate loudly. In this way you can preserve your honor and potentially rehabilitate your reputation. You have nothing to lose and possibly much to gain.

Peace,

Herbert J. Hoffman
Former Candidate for U. S. Senate
Ogunquit

You see the only issue in that whole idea is this here. It would be looked at, by the majority of American; the exception being the far, far left; as being extremely stupid to impeach Bush, at this point. The Democrat’s had the chance to do this early on and they refused. Right now, the Nation has much more important fish to fry, so to speak, than an impeachment trial.

Besides this, I do not believe himself is to blame for what happened during the lead up to the war and after. This whole “Bush lied, thousands died” idiotic nonsense is the chorus line of the far left. Bush didn’t LIE, Bush acted on bad intelligence. Anyone that continues to parrot that old line of the far left, deserves to be taken about seriously as Dennis Kucinich was for President of the United States.

Just my take on it.

John McCain to run in 2010

Taegan Goddard Reports:

“After much speculation that his failed presidential bid would be his last campaign, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has decided to run for re-election to his Senate seat in 2010,” according to Roll Call.

Said a GOP source close to the Arizona senator: “He’s ready to get back. He likes the game. He likes the deals.

This is a good thing. McCain is needed in the Senate. Even if it is to shine some of the Democrat’s shoes. 😉

Guest Voice: Welcome To Obamaburger. May I Take Your Money

Welcome To Obamaburger.  May I Take Your Money?
By: J.J. Jackson

Behind the counter is an Obamaburger employee busily filing her fingernails and who barely looks up as a young man approaches her, bypassing a longer line at another register which does not seem to be moving. “Welcome to Obamaburger.  May I take your money?” she asks listlessly.

The perplexed customer responds, “Don’t you mean take my order?”

Her response, without so much as a look is, “Sir, you’re holding up the line.  Don’t make me call security.”

The customer, looks behind him and notices that he is the only one in this particular line but not wanting to cause a fuss replies hastily, “Geez, ok.  Uh … let’s see.  I will have –”

“Sir, I need your Social Security Number first.”

“Excuse me?” the customer asks.

“Your Social Security Number sir.  You’re holding up the line again.”

“What line?”  Now, very confused the customer asks again, “What do you need my Social Security Number for?”

Finally looking up from her “work” the employee gets very testy at the delay and the line of questioning.  “That’s it, I’m calling security –”

“What? No …” scared at what is going on the customer finally concedes to her demands, “Alright my number is 123-45-6789.”

Sighing at the thought of having to finally do something productive, the lady behind the counter starts punching numbers into her register, “One moment while I pull up your tax return for last year.”

“My tax return?  What the hell are you doing?”

Democratic Party Family Values at work!

This is just too rich to pass up…

Via Fox News:

A married congressman who faces accusations that he had an affair with a former aide and paid her to keep quiet about it also was having an affair with a second woman around the same time, a person close to his campaign told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Details of the second affair came hours after Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney held a news conference to address a story, first reported by ABC News, that he had been involved with the former aide. Mahoney acknowledged he had caused "embarrassment and heartache" to his family but denied doing anything illegal.

Mahoney, 52, won his seat in 2006 while promising to return morals and family values to Washington in the aftermath of the resignation of former Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Foley. Foley stepped down when it was revealed he sent lurid Internet messages to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. Foley was later cleared of criminal wrongdoing by state and federal authorities.

Mahoney’s seat was already considered to be one of the more competitive House races, and he has been facing a tough challenge in a district that traditionally leans slightly Republican. He faces former Army officer Tom Rooney, a lawyer whose family owns the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mahoney himself did not directly address the first purported tryst during a news conference earlier in the day, but instead issued a statement taking "full responsibility for my actions and the pain I have caused my wife Terry and my daughter Bailey."

"No marriage is perfect," Mahoney said, "but our private life is our private life."

The real kicker is this here:

Mahoney, 52, won his seat in 2006 while promising to return morals and family values to Washington in the aftermath of the resignation of former Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Foley. Foley stepped down when it was revealed he sent lurid Internet messages to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. Foley was later cleared of criminal wrongdoing by state and federal authorities.

*snort* Those are some real nice family values there sir! Hee hee Two affairs? Wow! Surprise I mean, I can understand the one, but two? Oy. That’s just beyond stupid. Doh

Something tells me this guy is not going to be in office for very long at all.

But then again, that’s the Democrats for you. Tongue

Exit Question: One of Obama’s friends? Oh, right, that’s RAAAAACIST! Rolling Eyes

"Bail out" Bill passes first hurdle, goes to the house

Hurdle one passed, now let’s see if it makes it out of the House.
Senate endorses bailout as economy stutters (Via Reuters):

The Senate endorsed a revised $700 billion plan to tackle a financial crisis that has shaken world markets and drawn warnings of approaching economic catastrophe.

The plan now faces a final hurdle in the House of Representatives, which rocked global markets this week by rejecting an earlier version. President George W. Bush, speaking after Wednesday night’s 74-25 Senate vote, called the bailout “essential to the financial security of every American”.

Personally, I expect the bill to pass the House. Because Democrats and Republicans both agree that this thing is needed, badly.  What I do expect to continue to see is a resistance amongst fiscal conservatives amongst the grass roots. Not that I think that there’s anything wrong with it. Because personally, like I’ve said on here before. I am just not that thrilled with the idea of our banking system being nationalized. However, from a middle class stand point and from the standpoint of someone who lives in a state where unemployment is higher than the rest of the country. I think allowing our economy to grind to a halt is just not a smart idea.

More on the House part:

Leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives expressed cautious optimism that the legislation would be approved.

Senate leaders hope that sweetening the plan with a tax cut and extended federal protection for bank deposits can turn “no” voters into supporters. On Monday, the House rejected the previous version of the plan by a 228-205 vote.

“It’s still uncertain. I think it is likelier to pass than before,” House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank said in an interview on CNN.

“The main change is reality. I think that it’s not possible now to scoff at the predictions of doom if we don’t do anything,” the Massachusetts Democrat added.

Many Americans resent the idea that Wall Street is being “bailed out” at taxpayer expense, and have made their views clear in emails and calls to Washington, putting pressure in particular on vulnerable members of the House.

Thus exposing why the house members are gun shy on voting for this bill:

All 435 House seats will be contested in the election on November 4, as opposed to 35 seats up for grabs in the Senate

While they may want to save the country, they also want to keep those cushy senate jobs too. Hee hee

Overall, it should be an interesting vote. One that I shall follow here on this Blog.

New Video: Vets for freedom Ad to air in California

This ad is to Air in California:

Text from the Site:

Today Vets for Freedom released “Skipped” as part of a continuing campaign to urge Senator Obama to tell the Truth about the Surge and fully acknowledge U.S. success in Iraq. The $2.2 million dollar statewide television advertising campaign is VFF’s largest expenditure in a single state buy thus far on this issue. The ad will air in California on October 1st and run through October 9th.


Senator Obama repeatedly denies that the surge worked, contradicting reports from top commanders on the ground in Iraq, yet has only been to Iraq twice and has missed countless votes regarding the mission. VFF released “Skipped” to underscore Senator Obama’s failure to be informed of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to ask him, and Congress, to support passage of legislation in the U.S. Senate that recognizes the success of the surge and our troops

Click here to read Sen. Resolution 636.

Click here to read Sen. Obama’s previous statements about the surge.

I just wonder if the “Magic one” will try and employ his goon squads to silence these commercials too? Oh, I forgot this discussion is not helping Michelle Obama’s brat kids.

I guess I’ll let that little nugget out of the bag. A few days ago, I received an e-mail from a source, which I will never reveal, letting me know, that I, as a Blogger, should not buy the lie that Obama’s two girls are darling children. The truth is, both of those girls are nothing more than snotty nosed little harpy brats. In fact, one reporter tried “Correcting” them for something they did and the Obama campaign threatened to have that person tossed off the plane. So, a word to the wise. Don’t believe everything read about this man and his family.

The Wall Street Bailout drama continues….

Just a word of warning, I’m still nursing my first cup of coffee. Coffee-cupSleepyYawn So, hopefully, this article will make some sense. Hee hee

But the good news is, I got my emoticons back here. Dancing So, I can at least show a little emotion in my writings. Big Grin

Some people say that if you use the Emoticons, people tend to not take you as serious. Well, to that I say, well, Phbbbttt Because I feel you would not take me serious either way, if had the emoticons or not.

The “Mother of all bailouts” is creating it’s share of drama in the Blogosphere and on Capital Hill. For instance, Minority Leader John A. Boehner called the deal a “crap sandwich”. Sick and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee said of the Bill, “It sucks”. Michelle Malkin is just flat out encouraging her people to “Kill the Bill”. However, Jack Fowler at the Corner is saying:

Conservatives should support them in backing the bailout plan. And then, when that is completed, roll up our sleeves and join Cantor & Co. as they work to craft and enact a broader strategy to improve America’s fiscal health.

So, obviously, this thing is dividing Conservatives.

Another interesting tidbit of information, according to “The Hill”, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). says:  “I will tell you right now I don’t know if they have votes,”  “If the votes were there, this would be on the floor. The votes aren’t there.” An interesting development indeed.

Obviously, there’s a ton of opinions and angles on this story. Most of which can be found at Memeorandum.

A very interesting video on our Nation’s banking system

This video, made by the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, makes the case of why the United States of America should go to a 100% gold standard.

I highly recommend that everyone watch this video.

Also, I recommend everyone go to my bookstore and check out the section on the gold standard.

Now here’s a smart idea….

Now the Democrats are using their brains.

U.S. Democrats seek Wall Street tax in bailout plan (Via Reuters):

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing for a new Wall Street tax that would cover the potential costs of a $700 billion bailout being negotiated by Congress and the Bush administration.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, speaking to reporters after a meeting with fellow Democrats, said the fee could be assessed after five years if the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office determined taxpayers had lost money in the bailout.

“If after five years … the CBO decides that the American taxpayer has lost money in this, then there would be a fee on financial institutions,” Pelosi said, adding that she hoped the provision could be part of a final bailout deal.

Pelosi said that the Secretary of the Treasury could determine how to assess the fee.

It is a about damn time the Democrats wised up. This would ensure that the taxpayer, (i.e. you and me) would not get stuck paying the bill on this “bail out”.

I know some traders will scream about this. But, you know what I say? screw ‘em! I say, let the assholes making the big money get the tax, instead of the working class, like me, who do not even play the markets.

I am all for free markets, but I’m also for responsibility. If greed caused all this, let the damn greedy ones pay for it in taxes, instead of the average American, like me!

Editorial: Sometimes acting like Michelle Malkin is a good thing

I sit here tonight, as a former “left of center” Blogger, amazed at what has become of the party, that I once used to just blindly vote for every year.  I fully understand what Ronald Reagan was referring to, when he quoted Al Smith in his 1964 speech called “Rendezvous with Destiny.”  It just seems to me that the Liberals in this country of ours, instead of listening to the other side of the political fence and possibly learning from them, are more interested in mocking them and living in their own altered state of reality. Conversely, I have been told that this is nothing new, Democrats have been doing this for years.

Earlier tonight, I was over looking around on a well-known liberal Blog called Crooks and Liars, which, for those of you who are not normally of the Blogging community is a rather humorous reference to former President Richard M. Nixon’s statement of, “I am not a crook.” John Amato, A liberal from California, runs that rather interesting Blog.  Earlier tonight, John made a rather flippant comment that burned me to my core, and as a result, I felt the need to write about it, and the person, of whom he was referring.

John Amato was reporting on a Conservative Radio host from Alaska, who rather idiotically, made some rather nasty comments about some women holding a Anti-Sarah Palin rally in Alaska, and also about him giving their personal cell phone numbers out, whereby causing some of them to receive threats.  The host was suspended a week, without pay, which I feel was ample punishment.  To be fair to the Host, he was not aware that the numbers given out were personal cell phone numbers.

It was not the reporting of the incident that annoyed me to my core, it was the rather offhanded, mean spirited comment that was attached to the reporting of that story, that warranted this Editorial.  The comment that sent me over the rails, the comment, that I feel, was a shot over the bow of a rather highly intelligent woman, who I feel is unique spokesperson for American Conservative values in this Country.

“Acting like Michelle Malkin does have some consequences after all.”

That, Mr. Amato, is over the line.  I will explain why. However, I do not expect you, being locked into your bastardly Liberal mindset, to understand why I feel so damned strongly about this. Nevertheless, I will try to make your rather simple liberal mind understand the questions I am about to ask you.  I realize it might be a crab shoot with you, but I am in need of a challenge this evening and you are the target of interest.

  1. Do you believe that Michelle Malkin’s due diligence in reporting on the war on terror is a hateful thing?  I would expect so, seeing most of you liberals believe that we should try to talk to people who want to see this Nation and everything it stands for destroyed.
  2. I suppose that you believe that Michelle Malkin’s reporting of the vandalism that happened to the Vietnam vets war memorial in Washington D.C. is a hateful thing as well?  This would not surprise me.  Seeing it is you liberals, who hate our military, to the point of wanting America to lose a war and return home in disgrace.  Vietnam proved that sir.
  3. I suppose you would disapprove of Michelle Malkin’s resolve to “Lan Astaslem” which is Arabic for “I will not submit/surrender?”  This is a pledge that we as Americans will not submit or surrender to Islamic extremists who want to strike fear into the American people and ruin our livelihoods, something that I also believe in, to my very core.  I say this because it is you and your Liberal friends wish to appease those who want to destroy this Nation.

Yes, Michelle Malkin and I do have our differences.  Her brand of Conservatism is a bit different from mine.  I do not agree with every thing that she writes.  I am not a “Malkin-bot,” a funny term that I gave to some of her supporters, who tend to be, what I and Andrew P. Napolitano like to call sheep. However, that is about where the differences end.  When it comes to matters of National Defense and Defending our Military against those who would like to see it destroyed, including brain-dead liberals like you, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.  I am, in fact, in agreement with her on these issues.

In closing, let me simply say this.  The Democrats talk about change.  Well, this year is going to be a major change for me as well.  For the first time, since I have legally eligible to vote, I will be not voting for a Democrat.  This is because the party that I used to just blindly vote for, in every election has totally drifted beyond the point that I feel to be acceptable in American politics.  I am sorry, but I cannot and will not vote for a Party’s candidate, whose politics resemble that of Karl Marx or that of the Nazi Party.  Furthermore, I will not vote for a candidate whose party abdicated its core principles in the Primary and at the convention, just so they could hurry up and get their nominee.

This is to say nothing of the communist socialist agenda,  the wholesale slaughter of innocent babies, the outright attack of the Judeo-Christian Faith, The Promotion and advocating of the Atheistic movement and the furtherance of the Homosexual agenda, the promoting of Identity Politics within the African-American community, in response to a perceived and mostly falsely assumed attack on the Negro Race.

All of these things are why this Blogger will be voting differently on November 4, 2008.

This movie, if it caught on in the Media would ruin Obama’s chances of being elected President.

Wow…. I don’t think Barry will have to worry about snipers. He’d better worry about this movie.
