Why did Democrats get their butts shellacked so decisively in 2010? It's their IDEOLOGY, stupid.
0 comments Posted by kotang at 5:41 AMA well-written essay by TNR's William Galston (he's far from being a Conservative writer; but to improve my 'center-right' cred I'll link to him this time) uses 'just the facts, ma'am' to show Democrats exactly where they went wrong.
It's putting numbers to a theme I've been pushing here for years now: the once-proud Democrat Party has been taken over by a far-left sliver of it's ideological base, and The Party of Donkey is now paying for it; because, you see, America the U.S. of A, the Republic that's stood for 234 years, is NOT a Left-Leaning Nation; we can't survive if we are forced by the Left in too far a pendulum swing in that direction. We are center-right, and the ideological purists on the Left dragged us too far in the wrong direction.
Barack Obama might seem to some to some of these far-left critics, the bloggers and pundits and other various assholes (Grayson, Markos 'The Pussy' Moulitsas, the Dust Witch Ariana Huffington) to be drifting towards center from their far-left bastion, but that's just not the case. BHO is adrift in his own vacant lot: he was raised by a Communist father (or fathered by a Communist mentor, take your pick); schooled in the company of (by his own admission) far-left Marxists and radicals and even actual real-death-bomb-throwers, then polished in the Church of Black Liberation Theology by the uber-crazy Jeremiah Wright. BHO is NOT a good man, and should never have been elected as U.S. President. Democrats should've listened to Bill and Hillary; they tried to warn.
So, Mr. Galston's numbers. After putting to bed the tired old excuses 'old people did this to us because we're taking their Medicare!' and 'young people didn't get out and vote like they did before!' and 'the far-left Dem base deserted because Obama didn't do enough!' we get to the REAL REASON: Independents don't like far-left behaviors, and it shows ...
It'll do you a world of good, and the nation, too.

We get more significant results when we examine the choices Independents made. Although their share of the electorate was virtually unchanged from 2006, their behavior was very different. In 2006, Democrats received 57 percent of the Independent vote, versus only 39 percent for Republicans. In 2010 this margin was reversed: 55 percent Republican, 39 percent Democratic. If Independents had split their vote between the parties this year the way they did in 2006, the Republicans share would have been 4.7 percent lower—a huge difference.So, it's clearly spelled out in the numbers. Change, Democrats, drop the far-left idiots who've destroyed your party's credibility. Send 'em packing, come back home, enjoy a NASCAR event, eat a hot dog instead of arugula, and lay off the memes for a change.
But why did they change? Here we reach the nub of the matter: The ideological composition of the electorate shifted dramatically. In 2006, those who voted were 32 percent conservative, 47 percent moderate, and 20 percent liberal. In 2010, by contrast, conservatives had risen to 41 percent of the total and moderates declined to 39 percent, while liberals remained constant at 20 percent. And because, in today’s polarized politics, liberals vote almost exclusively for Democrats and conservatives for Republicans, the ideological shift matters a lot.
...
So the 2010 electorate does not represent a disproportional mobilization of conservatives: If the 2010 electorate had perfectly reflected the voting-age population, it would actually have been a bit more conservative and less moderate than was the population that showed up at the polls. Unless the long-term decline of moderates and rise of conservatives is reversed during the next two years, the ideological balance of the electorate in 2012 could look a lot like it did this year.
It'll do you a world of good, and the nation, too.

There's a TV ad put out by Carly Fiorina (running as a Republican for Senator from California) that created quite a stir (link to YouTube at @Hannahloves27's blog, h/t @Vermontainge, also known as Dan Collins); portraying her opponent, Tom Campbell, as a 'Demon Sheep'. The ad is hilarious! Someone's smoking plenty of good stuff out there in Wackyfornia.
But 'Demon Sheep'? 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing'? That's not Tom Campbell! That's the original pretender, Barack Obama; that fellow who attended 'Church' for reasons other than true religious beliefs: Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) is a home for a pretense religion that preached racial divisiveness and "Black Liberation Theology". Since leaving that pit of vipers, BHO has made no effort to find a new Church. He's no need to pretend anymore. BHO is NOT religious. Which is fine; but let's be clear that this image of BHO living 'Larger than Life' at a prayer breakfast is a disgrace.
So, I fixed the damn thing. Which is my wont.

President Bush's 'evilness' is now Barack Obama's 'evilness'. Democrats watch their candidate morph (AKA GROWING UP)
0 comments Posted by kotang at 6:09 AM
With the final Senate Democrat vote counted, Barack Hussein Obama has lost another foreign policy initiative and has failed to deliver on yet another campaign promise -- this time, the promise to close the U.S. 'Torture' Base in Guantánamo. From Victor Davis Hanson at NRO......I think we now have come to the end to the five-year left-wing attack theme of Bush "shredding the Constitution."[emphases mine.]
Except for the introduction of euphemisms and a few new ballyhooed but largely meaningless protocols, there is no longer a Bush-did-it argument. The Patriot Act, wiretaps, e-mail intercepts, military tribunals, Predator drone attacks, Iraq, Afghanistan — and now Guantánamo — are officially no longer part of the demonic Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld nexus...
Obama promised cadres of simple-minded Leftists -- those KOS-Kid diarists, the Atriosidiots, the upper-crusty leftys at Sadly, nOObs, Madam Huffingblows -- all are shaking their heads and wondering, what went wrong? We fought for and elected this pretty blow-up doll pezzydent, this vacuous agent of CHANGE, who was supposed to bring on an age of enlightenment; all the world's nations were supposed to adore us; all the tortures and wiretaps and..and...BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW, BITCH~! whaa happened ?
Let's ask Karl Rove what happened...
There's more; Karl Rove 'splains why BHO has failed to deliver on the home front as well. But, on the home front, we see the potential of great harm to the Nation if BHO's barely-concealed 'reparations' social programs hit the economy...Flip-Flops and Governance Our president isn't quite as advertised. By KARL ROVE
Barack Obama inherited a set of national-security policies that he rejected during the campaign but now embraces as president. This is a stunning and welcome about-face.
For example, President Obama kept George W. Bush's military tribunals for terror detainees after calling them an "enormous failure" and a "legal black hole." His campaign claimed last summer that "court systems . . . are capable of convicting terrorists." Upon entering office, he found out they aren't.
He insisted in an interview with NBC in 2007 that Congress mandate "consequences" for "a failure to meet various benchmarks and milestones" on aid to Iraq. Earlier this month he fought off legislatively mandated benchmarks in the $97 billion funding bill for Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mr. Obama agreed on April 23 to American Civil Liberties Union demands to release investigative photos of detainee abuse. Now's he reversed himself. Pentagon officials apparently convinced him that releasing the photos would increase the risk to U.S. troops and civilian personnel.
Throughout his presidential campaign, Mr. Obama excoriated Mr. Bush's counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq, insisting it could not succeed. Earlier this year, facing increasing violence in Afghanistan, Mr. Obama rejected warnings of a "quagmire" and ordered more troops to that country. He isn't calling it a "surge" but that's what it is. He is applying in Afghanistan the counterinsurgency strategy Mr. Bush used in Iraq.
As a candidate, Mr. Obama promised to end the Iraq war by withdrawing all troops by March 2009. As president, he set a slower pace of drawdown. He has also said he will leave as many as 50,000 Americans troops there.
These reversals are both praiseworthy and evidence that, when it comes to national security, being briefed on terror threats as president is a lot different than placating MoveOn.org and Code Pink activists as a candidate. The realities of governing trump the realities of campaigning.
Mr. Obama campaigned on "responsible fiscal policies," arguing in a speech on the Senate floor in 2006 that the "rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy." In his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, he pledged to "go through the federal budget line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work." Even now, he says he'll "cut the deficit . . . by half by the end of his first term in office" and is "rooting out waste and abuse" in the budget.Harmful, indeed. We'll be lucky to survive the damage BHO intends to inflict on our economy.
However, Mr. Obama's fiscally conservative words are betrayed by his liberal actions. He offers an orgy of spending and a bacchanal of debt. His budget plans a 25% increase in the federal government's share of the GDP, a doubling of the national debt in five years, and a near tripling of it in 10 years.
On health care, Mr. Obama's election ads decried "government-run health care" as "extreme," saying it would lead to "higher costs." Now he is promoting a plan that would result in a de facto government-run health-care system. Even the Washington Post questions it, saying, "It is difficult to imagine . . . benefits from a government-run system."
Making adjustments in office is one thing. Constantly governing in direct opposition to what you said as a candidate is something else. Mr. Obama's flip-flops on national security have been wise; on the domestic front, they have been harmful.
But really, we knew what he was about. We knew that sitting in that RACIST! Black Liberation Theology Church, listening to Reverend Wright and Father Phleger spew their hatreds for all those years, after having attended Columbia University and slept through the Harvard Law school, then immersing himself in the teachings of Known Terrorist Bill Ayers and playing politics in the nation's worst political hell-hole, that we were getting a man who was a creature of his past. A past that molded him for one thing and one thing only: to assault the Constitution of the United States, and CHANGE! things to a more leftist, socialist, 'feel-good' sort of Nation.
We asked for it, so's here it is.
As far as President Bush, VDH, take it from here...
... what was the hysteria of 2001-2008 about other than simple politics?Nothing more, Democrats.
I doubt we get any more movies about ongoing renditions, redactions, any more Checkpoint-like novels, any more waterboarding skits and reenactments, any more late-night comedians doing their Bush tapped, intercepted, tortured, renditioned, tribunaled poor suspect X routines.
And I guess as well that the good old days of supposedly flushed Korans in Guantánamo and Omar the poor liberationist renditioned to Cairo are over. We are now in the age of a sober and judicious President Obama who circumspectly, if reluctantly and in anguish at the high cost, does what is necessary to keep us safe.
And we won't see a brave young liberal senator, Obama-like, barnstorming the Iowa precincts blasting a presidency for trampling our values with the shame of Guantánamo, wiretaps, intercepts, renditions, military tribunals, Predators, Iraq, etc. That motif just dissolved — or rather, it never really existed.
It short, all the fury, the vicious slander, the self-righteous outbursts, the impassioned speeches from the floor, the "I accuse" op-eds by the usual moralistic pundits — all that turned out to be solely about politics, nothing more.
You've chosen poorly. Actually, you chose a man who has had, at least on foreign policy issues, to grow up.
And, from his moment forward, you won't have President Bush to bash, anymore.
How's that feel, hmmmm?

Obama chose Marxism for the same reason he chose his Church: for the HATE
0 comments Posted by kotang at 1:57 PMJeff G at protein wisdom links to this article...
With his amorphous and undefined desire to CHANGE the nation's entire economic fabric because he's spent his entire adult life hating. Hating whites, for their capitalism. Hate he sought out and to learned in school, and hate he nurtured...in Church.
Socialism as "public control of the means of production" is not the definition that we apply to Barack Obama, tgirsch. The meaning for Barack Obama's sort of socialism is Webster's third in line..
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.
Giving goods taken from someone who works (confiscatory taxes), and 'redistributing the wealth' (Obama's own words!) to those who do not work is Obama's definition of socialism. Allowing non-productive members of society to get a share of the fruits of another person's labor. Undeservedly so? I think so. But then, I'm a capitalist, as would be most Americans if they would take the time to realize that Capitalism is responsible for their very way of life, responsible for the excellent health care system enjoyed by Americans, responsible for the advanced technology and devices we enjoy. Capitalism made our way of life possible. Socialism drags a society down; instead of requiring people to reach their potential by expending a bit of effort, it 'trickles up' the poverty. All are equally treated, when none are allowed to succeed without the punishment of unfair taxation.
But that taxation just seems Wright to some.
We don't need no stinkin' socialism, not here in America.
(Oh...third in line...now, that rings a bell, doesn't it?)
Obama, a skinhead full of hate, it seems, for our Capitalist economic system. Hatred for the rich; a hatred based on envy. Now, he's ready to take charge of America and sell out his country, to CHANGE.Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days
Barack Obama shrugs off charges of socialism, but noted in his own memoir that he carefully chose Marxist professors as friends in college.
Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations of liberalism.
But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34.
Obama's affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles.
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
With his amorphous and undefined desire to CHANGE the nation's entire economic fabric because he's spent his entire adult life hating. Hating whites, for their capitalism. Hate he sought out and to learned in school, and hate he nurtured...in Church.
That troublesome Black Liberation Theology. White-hating theology, that's the bottom line.In his sermon that day, Wright tore into America, referring to the “United States of White America” and lacing his sermon with expletives as Obama listened. Hearing Wright’s attacks on his own country, Obama had the opportunity to walk out, but Davis said the senator sat in his pew and nodded in agreement.
Addressing the Iraq war, Wright thundered, “Young African-American men” were “dying for nothing.” The “illegal war,” he shouted, was “based on Bush’s lies” and is being “fought for oil money.”
Obama’s most famous celebrity backer, Oprah Winfrey began attending Wright’s church in 1984. Last year, Newsmax magazine reported that Winfrey abruptly stopped attending years ago, and suggested that she did so to distance herself from Wright’s inflammatory rhetoric. She soon found herself a target of Wright, who
excoriated her for having broken with “traditional faith.”The Reverend Wright’s anti-white theology that Senator Obama expressed surprise over is evident on the church’s website. The site says the congregation subscribes to what it calls the Black Value System, which is described as a disavowal of “our racist competitive society” and the pursuit of “middle-classness.” That is defined as a way for American society to “snare” blacks rather than “killing them off directly” or placing them in concentration camps,” just as the country structures “an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.”
“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in the church-affiliated magazine Trumpet four years after the attacks. “White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”
Socialism as "public control of the means of production" is not the definition that we apply to Barack Obama, tgirsch. The meaning for Barack Obama's sort of socialism is Webster's third in line..
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.

Charlie Gibson caught misquoting Sarah Palin. Just another Obamanaut with an agenda (that makes...more than one, right?)
0 comments Posted by kotang at 5:09 AMJeff G has the story and the quotes...
GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?
PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.
GIBSON: Exact words.
PALIN: But the reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln’s words when he said — first, he suggested never presume to know what God’s will is, and I would never presume to know God’s will or to speak God’s words.
But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side.
That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie.
GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.”
PALIN: I believe that there is a plan for this world and that plan for this world is for good. I believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that I believe are God-given, Charlie, and I believe that those are the rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That, in my world view, is a grand — the grand plan.
GIBSON: But then are you sending your son on a task that is from God?
PALIN: I don’t know if the task is from God, Charlie. What I know is that my son has made a decision. I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer.
Of course, the exact quote from the Wasilla Church speech proves that Charlie Gibson is an agenda-oriented scuzzbucket, and Sarah Palin knew he was fishing for a 'gotcha!'
The exact quote follows:
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
Praying that our national leaders are sending our troops out on a task that might be from God does not not mean Sarah believes that this mission is from God, but praying that it really is (and hopefully is, given that her son volunteered for the fight) is a good thing.
Remember, Sarah is addressing a church crowd, and prayer and belief in God is a given. Sarah is obviously not like that socialist lefty Barack Obama, who can sit in a church for 20 years to pretend he's religious and not hear a word about Black Liberation Theology; Obama can become best pals with the "GOD DAMN AMERICA" 'minister' and not really hear that turn of phrase or acknowledge the sentiments behind it; Barack Hussein Obama even allowed that 'minister' to marry him and his 'bitter' wife and even title his second 'autobiography' (as if he's actually done anything to deserve one autobiography, much less two) and still find it necessary to throw the 'Reverend' Jeremiah Wright under the bus after said 'minister' proved to be more problematic than helpful.
Yes, give me Sarah Palin and her capacity for prayer over BHO and his capacity for socialism and identity politics.
How many people have the Republican ticket found necessary to to throw under the bus, BTW? Baracky, so many the wheels can't touch the ground anymore. That's your 'HOPE', that's your 'CHANGE': keep ditching your past until you are free!, man! Free to beThe ONE!
(Oh, and those are 'sneer' quotes btw...)

NBC: "Abandoning Non-Partisan Coverage of the Presidential Race"? Who knew?
0 comments Posted by kotang at 4:49 AMJohn McCain wants Steve Capus' head on a pike.
Steve Capus, the president of NCB News, received a letter from McCain's campaign manager Ric Davis protesting NBC's overtly favorable coverage of Barack H. Obama. Finally, the campaign protests! Have they not noticed this before I wonder?
The latest dig at John McCain: Andrea Mitchell, on NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday, inferred that John McCain must have listened in on questions given by Pastor Rick Warren to Barack H. Obama during Saturday night's Faith Forum.
For some reason, Barack Obama didn't do so well in that forum. Hesitating, stuttering, answering "not in my pay grade" a question on when life begins (Barack dodges and slithers as well as any Chicago politician ever has when it comes to...faith.)
McCain did so well that Andrea Mitchell wonders if he had heard the questions to BHO. Was he eavesdropping, not in his 'cone of silence'?
Could it be, Mrs. Mitchell, that John McCain is a better man of faith than 'your' candidate? After all, there probably weren't so many questions on Black Liberation Theology. And abortion, one of the 'holy grail' issues of the Democratic platform, needs to distance itself from difficult questions like 'When does life begin?' 'At what point does the baby get human rights?'
Oh, Baracky's answer: "That's not in my pay grade".
John McCain's answer? "At conception."
Pretty much clear-cut.
Barack: Cut the baby. Babies are subject to the mother's decision up to (and after?) birth.
McCain: Save the baby. Babies are children. Or will be, if you let them live long enough.
The Abortion issue is one of the Democrat's weaknesses (along with foreign policy, national defense, identity politics &c. We of any faith should point out this weakness every chance we get.
For the children!
Oh, here's the letter to the Democratic promotion -- propaganda machine at NBC...
And lots of pikes, no? ;D

Mr. Steve CapusNow, we need about 20 more letters just like this to...ABC, CBS, CNN, NYT, etc.
President, NBC News
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112
Steve:
We are extremely disappointed to see that the level of objectivity at NBC News has fallen so low that reporters are now giving voice to unsubstantiated, partisan claims in order to undercut John McCain.
Nowhere was this more evident than with NBC chief correspondent Andrea Mitchell's comments on "Meet the Press" this morning. In analyzing last night's presidential forum at Saddleback Church, Mitchell expressed the Obama campaign spin that John McCain could only have done so well last night because he "may not have been in the cone of silence and may have had some ability to overhear what the questions were to Obama." Here are Andrea Mitchell's comments in full:
Mitchell: "The Obama people must feel that he didn't do quite as well as they might have wanted to in that context, because what they are putting out privately is that McCain may not have been in the cone of silence and may have had some ability to overhear what the questions were to Obama. He seemed so well-prepared." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 8/17/08)
Make no mistake: This is a serious charge. Andrea Mitchell is repeating, uncritically, a completely unsubstantiated Obama campaign claim that John McCain somehow cheated in last night's forum at Saddleback Church. Instead of trying to substantiate this blatant falsehood in any way, Andrea Mitchell felt that she needed to repeat it on air to millions of "Meet the Press" viewers with no indication that 1.) There's not one shred of evidence that it's true; 2.) In his official correspondence to both campaigns, Pastor Rick Warren provided both candidates with information regarding the topic areas to be covered, which Barack Obama acknowledged during the forum when asked about Pastor Warren's idea of an emergency plan for orphans and Obama said, "I cheated a little bit. I actually looked at this idea ahead of time, and I think it is a great idea;" 3.) John McCain actually requested that he and Barack Obama do the forum together on stage at the same time, making these kinds of after-the-fact complaints moot.
Indeed, instead of taking a critical journalistic approach to this spin, Andrea Mitchell did what has become a pattern for her of simply repeating Obama campaign talking points.
This is irresponsible journalism and sadly, indicative of the level of objectivity we have witnessed at NBC News this election cycle. Instead of examining the Obama campaign's spin for truth before reporting it to more than 3 million NBC News viewers, Andrea Mitchell simply passed along Obama campaign conspiracy theories. The fact is that during Senator Obama's segment at Saddleback last night, Senator McCain was in a motorcade to the event and then held in a green room with no broadcast feed. In the forum, John McCain clearly demonstrated to the American people that he is prepared to be our next President.....
We are concerned that your News Division is following MSNBC's lead in abandoning non-partisan coverage of the Presidential race. We would like to request a meeting with you as soon as possible to discuss our deep concerns about the news standards and level of objectivity at NBC.
Sincerely,
Rick Davis
Campaign Manager

Now we're seeing some traction.
There's a great public interest in Barack Hussein Obama; who is 'this guy' anyway? and why are the leftists agog and worshiping the very ground on which He walks?
The void left by BHO's handlers--promises of amorphous 'change' and undefined 'hope'--will be filled now with some nice truth. That's what we're finally seeing: Obama's flimsy Nation of straw huts built on sand, exposed.
BHO: the 'savior' of the world.
Please.
'This guy' has less than 140 days of U.S. Senate experience. 'This guy' is past-steeped in communist and marxist philosophies. 'This guy' has associations with a terrorist who bombed the Pentagon, and wishes he could've bombed even more government offices. 'This guy' has absorbed (for 20+ years) that racist, hateful 'religion' spewed by Reverend Wright and his ilk: Black Liberation Theology. 'This guy' is clueless, except when it comes to giving Democrats and leftists Hope for amorphous and, unfortunately for real Americans who care about this country, divisive Change. We're promised more socialism, more identity politics, more progressivism.
The only thing 'this guy' has going for him is a deep voice and that unmistakable air of self-righteous narcissism that's more often seen in Hollywood bombshells and prissy leftist actors.
Democrats: you chose Al Gore in 2000; you chose John Kerry in 2004. Not even mentioning by name that awkward choice in 1988. The piss-poor candidate you chose in 1992 was handed office by H. Ross Perot. Why can't you find a candidate who is good enough on his/her own merits to be electable?

Barack Obama admits The Surge has succeeded. McCain was right, Obama was (and still is) wrong.
0 comments Posted by kotang at 10:37 PMBarack Obama, admitting what he hates to have to admit: “You see the activity taking place, the people in the shops, the traffic on the streets, clearly there’s been an enormous improvement,” he said.
John McCain, shining the light on Barack's earlier wrongness: “I’m glad that Senator Obama is going to get a chance for the first time to sit down with Gen. David Petraeus and understand what the surge was all about,” Mr. McCain said on NBC, referring to the troop-increase plan last year that he strongly supported even as Mr. Obama was calling for withdrawal.
“I hope he will have a chance to admit that he badly misjudged the situation, and he was wrong when he said that the surge wouldn’t work,” Mr. McCain continued. “It has succeeded and we’re winning the war.”
Obama was, and still is, clueless.
Obama was chosen to represent the Democrats because he gave a nice speech in 2002. Obama was chosen because he reads a teleprompter well. Obama was chosen because he is black, and Democrats think that he can't be criticized; if criticized, they can bring out the 'Racism!' brush and quickly do away with the criticisms.
Obama is a product of Chicago politics, always know for having the worst in this nation. Reeeezko!
Obama spent 20 years listening a non-Christian minister in a mock-church, and absorbed the trappings of Black Liberation Theology, where his 'spiritual guide' begged for God to Damn America. And blamed 9/11 on America...'your chickens are coming home to roost'.
Obama gathered knows terrorists close to his vest. William Ayers, who bombed the Capitol, the Pentagon, and the State Department in the '70's. And is sorry he didn't bomb more.
Ayers went on to tell the students: “People ask, ‘Do you regret anything you did against the government in those days?’ And my answer is: no, I don’t.”Obama's buddy. Figures.
In an interview in The New York Times on the day of the September 11 attacks, when he was promoting Fugitive Days, his book on the Weathermen, Ayers said: “I don’t regret setting bombs,” and added: “I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Oh, and terrorists are supporting Obama. Al-Jazeera and Hamas both love them some Obama.
But we have jackasses here in America who would froth at the mouth because John McCain slipped in a gaffe.
Obama himself is a 'Gaffe machine'. Take away the teleprompter, he's lost.
He sees dead people.
Not much better with maps that McCain...
In one of his more egregious and easily demonstrated lies, made even more so by the day he decided to let it loose on, Obama has rewritten WWII history such that the allies liberated Auschwitz.Or maybe that was just a flat-out lie.
…Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz…
Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on Jan 27 1945. Poland, on most maps is usually placed to the east of Germany, although we may need to investigate the geography textbooks the Messiah used as a child…
Oh. And he doesn't even know what language is spoken in Afghanistan...
"We don't have enough capacity right now to deal with it -- and it's not just the troops," Obama, D-Ill., told a crowd in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.This guy, Obama, is a walking, talking, unfunny disaster. Waiting to happen to America.
Obama posited -- incorrectly -- that Arabic translators deployed in Iraq are needed in Afghanistan -- forgetting, momentarily, that Afghans don't speak Arabic.
"We only have a certain number of them and if they are all in Iraq, then its harder for us to use them in Afghanistan," Obama said.
There's a new documentary-movie due out September 1...HYPE: The Obama Effect. Release date: September 1.
The Hype Machine that is the MSM dwarfs all the efforts we who oppose The SO!cialist can muster.
But we'll keep plugging. Obama's negatives are increasing, and his lead over John McCain is decreasing. John McCain will probably pick Mitt Romney later this week as VP. Or Bobby Jindal. Either Mitt or Bobby will be Obama's worst nightmare.
This ain't over yet.

Jeff Goldstein penned a satirical post yesterday that delves into the debate on whether or not Affirmative Action is still a necessary tool for U.S. racial (and gender) equality.
Specifically, Jeff cites Ward Connerly's essay that Mr. Connerly wrote as a rebuttal to DeWayne Wickham's USA Today editorial where Mr. Wickham glowing approves of Barack Obama's continued support of that questionable policy, Affirmative Action.
Barack Obama on one hand campaigns and espouses the tag line "Race doesn't matter!" and "CHANGE!" but on the other hand still embraces the racial and gender preferences that affirmative action programs champion, even after the Supreme Court struck down (in Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education) a lower court's rulings that continued to allow schools to assign students to schools based solely on the color of their skin. Judge Roberts, writing for the majority..."The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race".
From DeWayne Wickham's essay...
"In response to a question I put to him a day earlier, Obama answered that he opposes efforts to pass constitutional amendments this year in Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska to ban affirmative action in state contracting and college admissions.A promise, it seems, that seeks to continue the political divide in the U.S. based on identity politics: empathizing those divisions that seek to put race and gender considerations above all others.
"Sen. Obama believes in a country in which opportunity is available to all Americans, regardless of their race, gender or economic status. That's why he opposes these ballot initiatives, which would roll back opportunity for millions of Americans and cripple efforts to break down historic barriers to the progress of qualified women and minorities," Candice Tolliver, an Obama campaign spokesperson, told me.
"White women and blacks are the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action programs.
...
"While Obama has long been on record in support of affirmative action, speaking out against the effort by Ward Connerly, a black California businessman who spearheaded successful campaigns to ban it in California, Michigan and Washington, is an act of political courage.
"It comes at a time when Obama is trying to win over working-class whites, many of whom believe affirmative action gains by women and blacks come at their expense. Nothing reflects Obama's call for a departure from the old political thinking more than his belief that he can address the concerns of disaffected whites without abandoning the interests of minorities and women —the Democrats' core constituencies.
...
"By opposing this effort at the same time that he's reaching out to working-class whites, Obama is forging a strategy that could deal a fatal blow to the movement Connerly has led for more than a decade. That would be a good thing.
"Obama believes America can keep its promise to women and blacks without dashing the hopes of working-class whites. He doesn't think opportunity guarantees made to one group must come at the expense of another. His is admittedly a new political vision, one that may well propel him into the White House —and help this nation fully live up to its promise."
Mr. Connerly responds to Mr. Wickham...
"With all my heart – and for the betterment of my country – I desperately wanted to believe that Sen. Barack Obama was not one of the same tired voices who peddle arguments about "institutional racism."Well, Mr. Connerly, there wouldn't be that ever-divisive Democratic party without those various identity groups that comprise it wanting more and more for doing less and less. This fractured Nation, a once-great melting pot, now is divided into small sub-groups, each wanting a piece for themselves at the expense of the other groups. And all of these factional sub-groups want their piece of the pie at the expense of the greater identity that the U.S. as a nation needs, especially right now, to face the real challenges we're up against right this minute: the energy costs that are cutting our economy to ribbons; the challenges of jobs leaving the U.S. for cheaper-working nations (India and China come to mind, where you don't see so many separate identity groups working against the goals of the nation-state); the continued worldwide threat of terrorism sponsored by factions of Islamofascists...those issues aren't going to be solved by continuing to allow our country to compartmentalize into ever-louder groups of infantile crybabies. Spoiled, crying children; the base of the Democratic Party.
"I have heard him say that America is not about "black and white." I was inspired when his supporters chanted at his rally on the night of his victory in South Carolina that "race doesn't matter." I thought his March 18 speech about race had the potential to become a defining moment in our endless struggle to confront and conquer this issue. I was encouraged by his perceptive acknowledgment that affirmative action breeds resentment and hostility. As millions of whites cast their votes for him in predominantly white states, I held out hope that, perhaps, he truly was a transformative leader.
...
..."Mr. Obama supports race preferences.
"As many readers will know, I am intimately involved in the effort to enact race-neutral ballot initiatives around the country (right now in Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska). I find it difficult to understand how the senator can "strongly oppose" any initiative that does precisely what he professes to believe and is consistent with the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
"This is the language of the initiatives I am now sponsoring: "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin, in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting."
"The rationale for using race preferences to "eliminate historic barriers," upon which Mr. Obama relies as his primary justification, has been rejected consistently by the Supreme Court since the Bakke decision in 1978. Only the pursuit of "diversity" by higher education meets the strict constitutional test for race preferences. As a lawyer, I am sure that Mr. Obama must know this.
"He must also know that blacks and whites are not the only racial groups in America. Every year there are more than 48,000 applicants for one of the 4,500 seats at the University of California campus at Berkeley. Before the passage of the initiative in that state to outlaw race preferences, thousands of Asian students were denied admission so that a greater number of "underrepresented minorities" could be admitted.
"Similar circumstances exist across the nation, because college admissions, public jobs and government contracts are the ultimate "zero-sum" game, and race and gender should not be the determining factors in picking winners and losers. It simply stretches credulity to argue that an "opportunity" given to one, on the basis of race, is not discrimination against another for the same reason.
"The issue that troubled many Americans about the widely publicized sermons of Rev. Jeremiah Wright was his view that America is an "institutionally racist" society. This view lies at the heart of the defense advocates of race preferences make for "affirmative action." It is also at the core of Black Liberation Theology.
"By supporting race preferences, Mr. Obama is unmistakably attaching himself to despicable ideas like Rev. Wright's. And, if he believes in those precepts, how does he reconcile his impressive political success and that of Mrs. Clinton with this perspective? Thirty-six million Americans didn't vote for the two of them because the majority of the American people are racist and sexist.
"If Mr. Obama wants to be the candidate of "change," why doesn't he change the idiotic racial classification system that burdens millions of Americans? Why doesn't he call attention to the barbaric "one-drop" (of hereditary blood) rule that continues to haunt our nation, and which drives him to identify with the "black community" at the expense of his white ancestry? If he wants to unite the American people, how does he propose to do that by asking some Americans to accept preferential treatment for others and discrimination against themselves?"
And Barack Obama isn't going to make a bit of difference. If anything, he represents not his stated and overused (and continued ephemeral) catchphrase "Change", but given his position on affirmative action and his embrace of divisive leftist politics he's more 'Stay the same course, and we'll continue to divide the U.S., and even further, because I want to emphasize our diversity, and, O!, let's make sure every other nation approves of us, because, you know, we just want to fit in and be accepted by the world community!'
There's some change for you.

I wonder....is she bitter?
Yeah, it's a reposting. Because of the history angle.
Thanks, Baracky, for knocking Hillary out of contention. If anyone deserves to lose, well, Hillary did. Manipulation isn't pretty; Hillary was a master manipulator. A user.
How did Hillary lose this nomination, this that seemed a piece of cake only a year ago?
Well, her baggage (including that 'gentleman' she stayed married to, long after his usefulness faded away); her attitude (I'm sorry. I hate it when I have to use foul language. But, Bitch~!); and her goals. Those goals, the liberal direction, just can't be correct for a successful America.
We've always been successful as a nation when and only when we applied conservative principles to our direction. God, Guts, and Guns got us here. Now that we are drifting leftward, we are sliding towards a fall. God is abandoned, guts are replaced with weakness and 'political correctness', and guns will be under attack as the Democrats take over. The losing pattern you see will only accelerate. Pass and raise more taxes, bring on the Global Warmalism economy-destruction, and watch us go down.
If Baracky (or McCain, if he gets lucky enough to pull out this election, which I don't think is going to happen) can save this Nation from what I fear is coming, then he'll have to be Captain America. And I'll take off my hat. But that's not going to happen; this youngster doesn't have a clue.
Well, so here we go. John McCain vs. B. Hussein Obama. The old veteran war hero former POW with friends on both sides of the aisle; and the far-left visionary who wants to bring Black Liberation Theology to national prominence, along with the farthest left-leaning agenda that's ever been in contention for the White House.
Bring him on.

Barrack Hussein Obama has resigned from his 20-year affiliation with Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. From Lynn Sweet at the link...
WASHINGTON--UPDATE--Obama spokesman Bill Burton confirmed that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) quit Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Obama "will answer questions this evening" about resigning from the church that helped Obama chart his course as a Christian, an Obama top adviser just told me. UPDATE 2 Obama campaign manager David Plouffe just told me Obama's availability--where he will talk about ending his long relationship with Trinity will take place at about 8:15 p.m. eastern time tonight, from South Dakota, where he is campaigning in advance of Tuesday's primary vote.See my earlier post for the video of Pfleger's mouth diarrhea.
Obama quits his church following Father Michael Pfleger's sermon ridiculing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) from the Trinity pulpit last Sunday, reigniting stories about Obama's associations with the inflammatory Trinity pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who stepped down from his role as senior pastor to hand over the top job to the Rev. Otis Moss III. Obama's move comes as Moss praised for his "message" after Pfleger a scorched Clinton.
Twenty years. Twenty years of absorbing Black Liberation Theology from Reverend Wright and his 'friends', including 'Father' Michael Pfleger and Louis Farrakhan.
This might be the crown jewel in Obama’s house full of nuts and gaffes, along with his angry, bitter wife and an uneaten waffle.
Remember, for 20 years B. Hussein Obama sat in that Church.
If you still want to call it a Church.
I don't think this one will go away so easy.
Heh. Karl links REM's "Losing my Religion".

"Father" Mike Pfleger: Holy SH*T Head!! Another apology from Obama! Maybe he should just tell 'em to 'STFU until I get elected, THEN we'll talk BLT'
0 comments Posted by kotang at 7:28 PM
Black Liberation Theology. That's what 'Father' Michael Pfleger brought to the pulpit at Chicago's Finest Church in last Sunday's political screed. Just watch this video...
Now is the time to question TUCC's continued Tax Exemption Status. Why does TUCC still qualify for tax exempt status?
No Political Activity For or Against Candidates PermittedIs there no one asking for relief against this racist 'Church'? Relieve them of their tax exemption, because it's obvious there's no 'religion' taught here. Only Black Liberation Theology, a racist interpretation of Christianity, espoused now by unwitting Democrats as a way to political power. BLT is hate speech, wrapped in religion; similar to the way some Muslim extremists use the Koran to justify their versions of bad behavior. This platform at TUCC is solely for political action, not even cleverly disguised anymore as preaching the Word of God. There is enough justification to call for separation.
Church tax exemptions are in jeopardy if an organization engages in direct political activity either against or on behalf of a political candidate or in an attempt to directly influence the passage of particular legislation. Churches and religious organizations, just as any other tax-exempt charitable organization, are free to comment on any social, political, or moral issues. They may not, however, speak out for or against political candidates if they wish to continue being tax-exempt. Losing tax-exempt status can mean both having to pay income taxes and that donations to the group will not be tax deductible by the donors.
Separation of Church and Hate. Separation of TUCC from their Tax Exemption status.
"...we are called to be agents of liberation..."and
"The fortunate who are among us combine forces with the less fortunate to become agents of change for God who is not pleased with America’s economic mal-distribution!"
So, as with everything, this is all about money. And, now, about political power; inserting Barack Obama into the presidency as a Trojan Horse to spring BLT to mainstream.Lord, help us.

Israel: 60 Years, fighting the utlimate fight: Survial in a Hostile Land--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
0 comments Posted by kotang at 5:18 AM
From J.C Hawkins at the American Thinker...
"...Israel was created six decades ago, the Western democracies were returning a people to their cherished homeland where they had flourished 2,000 years before. With almost 40% of Jews exterminated in World War II, this action was the least the world could do to right the most heinous wrong in human history.Credit for the notion of the creation of Israel goes to Theodore Herzl, who in 1896 wrote the map for the creation of Zionism in The Jewish State...
At the time, the war victors contemplated a two-state solution, with an Arab state adjoining Israel. But conflict immediately broke out upon Israel's creation, and the Jews there have been fighting for their lives ever since."
THE PLANTheodore Herzl was a Jewish German. It took another German, Adolph Hitler, with his death camps and the horror of Nazi Eugenics to spur the U.N to create Israel in 1948. From the link...
The whole plan is in its essence perfectly simple, as it must necessarily be if it is to come within the comprehension of all.
Let the sovereignty be granted us over a portion of the globe large enough to satisfy the rightful requirements of a nation; the rest we shall manage for ourselves.
The creation of a new State is neither ridiculous nor impossible. We have in our day witnessed the process in connection with nations which were not largely members of the middle class, but poorer, less educated, and consequently weaker than ourselves. The Governments of all countries scourged by Anti-Semitism will be keenly interested in assisting us to obtain the sovereignty we want.
With the rise of National Socialism, the advocates of sterilization and euthanasia found ever-increasing support. More than half of Germany's doctors joined the Nazi party. In 1935, Adolf Hitler gave his approval for the elimination of the "incurably ill." In October 1939, Germany began its euthanasia program. This program involved virtually the entire psychiatric community and a large part of the general medical community.Today, Israel has precarious footing in the Middle East. George Bush is a strong supporter of Israel; but unfortunately we are seeing the rise of Leftism and Democratic Fascism here in the United States. From Protein Wisdom, Jeff Goldstein...
In August 1941, when Hitler officially stopped the euthanasia program because of outspoken criticism by church leaders and increasing public concern, German doctors and nurses had already killed at least 70,000 mentally or physically disabled people. Other than their disabilities, most of the victims were ordinary Germans citizens and non-Jews. It was not until after April 1940 that doctors began specifically targeting institutionalized German Jews .
Though the euthanasia program had been officially halted, it was secretly continued by a number of doctors committed to the cause of what was called "racial hygiene," which would soon become the rationalization for genocide against the Jews, the Slavs and the Gypsies. The "Final Solution," put in motion in 1942, was but a small step away.
For those of you still unfamiliar with the thesis of Goldberg’s book — and with the general thematic arc of this site — allow me to note that the New Left, whose desire it was to destroy the “establishment” (often quite literally), are the heirs to both the German youth movement of the early 1900s (specifically, the Neue Schar of 1919) and, in political philosophy, the fascists, who in the US were aligned (by way both of socialism and an appeal to forging “community”) with the “Progressives.”Yes, today's Liberal Progressives have more in common with fascism than with Classic Liberalism. We see their anger, their hatred, their desire for 'changeyness' and we wonder if our own Nation will survive.
Today, Barack Obama is running for President on the watered-down, vague, and milquetoast rhetoric of that same “activist” spirit — and not surprisingly, he is supported in his efforts by the remnants of the New Left, by modern progressives, and by the bourgeois white liberals who, during the sixties, threw their lot in with the “revolutionaries” rather than end “up against the wall, motherfuckers!” (in Mark Rudd’s famous phrase).
Some commenters here have noted that the American people don’t care about such past associations — that the connection between Obama and the New Left, when pointed out, is a “smear” (just as it is when it gets pointed out that Black Liberation Theology is Marxist and anti-white, and in that respect carries the torch for the Black Panther movement) — and they may be right: forty-plus years onward after the brash Port Huron Statement, these one-time ostentatious radicals have learned to fold into the system like innocuous egg whites.
But make no mistake: for many of these folks, their radicalism marked the highlight of their lives, and their lack of remorse is perfectly in keeping with their self-worth, which they tie to those frequently romanticized identities, and to the mythos of the 60s and early 70s.
That Barack Obama is one of those liberal elites who has chosen to hob nob with domestic terrorists as a way to shore up his New Left bona fides — and cement himself as a progressive left “intellectual” whose identity markers make him a prime candidate for political success, given today’s complex racial calculus — should concern even those who have no real memory of the era of “peace and love” (and university takeovers, and race riots, and domestic bombings, and ambushes on police, and “smashing the establishment” by way of vandalism and random violence — Brownshirtism in sandals and mock-revolutionary garb played out to the soundtrack of Buffalo Springfield and Barry Maguire and the Peanut Butter Conspiracy).
Israel's fate? Again from American Thinker...
Leading Islamofascists like Ahmadinejad of Iran talk of "wiping Israel off the map" and call it "a stinking corpse." At least no one can accuse him of subtlety. But what is really distressing is the response from the West, which can be characterized as "whatever."I believe our fate here in the U.S. is ultimately tied to Israel's fate in the Middle East. Whether we like it or not, we are Israel's primary ally; even Hillary shocked the world two weeks ago with her statement
Where the Left once could be counted on to stand up for Israel, it now has taken up the banner of the Palestinians. Ex-president Jimmy Carter has lent whatever remains of his tattered prestige to accuse the Israelis of human rights violations against the Palestinians. Indeed, Europe, which forever wears the stain of the Holocaust, seems indifferent at best, and downright hostile in the main, toward Israel's right to exist.
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran,” she said when she was asked what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons. “In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them...”Empty words from a desperate politician fighting to retain a chance at the nomination? Probably.
Enough of that worry now. The future will take care of itself.
But bottom line, we must continue to support Israel. Our fates, Israel's and the U.S.'s, are tied, whether we realize it now or not.

...but give Pastor Wright a free ride? From the Charleston Daily Mail...
Thursday March 20, 2008Come on, Obama, blood should be thicker than...you know. Let's just hope this issue is Baracky's Waterloo.
Grandma got thrown under the bus
She is "a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe," Obama said.
Obama remained silent about the Rev. Wright's public statements until forced to say something.
And even then, he tried to rationalize Wright's anti-American, anti-white rhetoric.
That rhetoric is how Wright increased membership from 87 in 1971 to 8,500 members in 2008. Obviously, there is still a market among well-to-do Chicagoans for "black liberation theology."
It doesn't speak well of Obama that he would do this to "a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world" in public.
During the 1972 campaign, it was said that Chuck Colson would walk over his grandmother to get President Nixon re-elected.
Obama just threw his grandmother under the bus. That tells me he is not the person who will bring the races together.
Racism is a two-way street.
...
What bothers me more is that he humiliated a loved one for political advantage.
