Michael Moore, Don Fowler and Hurricane Gustav

Michael Moore isn't the only one who considers the timing of an impending natural disaster relative to the Republican National Convention evidence of divine intervention and proof that God exists.

We now have former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler getting in line behind Michael Moore (not that there is much room behind Moore):



These people claim to be concerned for the average working American, especially those who were affected by hurricane Katrina and are now evacuating from hurricane Gustav. I HAVE to call bullshit!! Anyone who thinks about gaining political points during a potential natural disaster only cares about one thing. And its not the average American.

Zero experience

John McCain has chosen the very popular first-term Governor, Sarah Palin, as his running mate for the 2008 election.

Obama's campaign immediately came out and claimed that Palin has zero experience in some areas: "'Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,' Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement." Does that mean that the Democrats have put someone with zero experience even closer to the presidency?

Maybe I am just one of those bitter people who cling to their guns too much for Mr. Clean and Articulate's liking.

Obama on guns

From Neal Boortz and Nealz Nuze: Obama on guns: "Just how does The Chosen One feel about the 2nd Amendment? After the Supreme Court ruled on the DC gun ban Obama was somewhat trapped. His previous position in favor of the ban was inoperative, so he had to come up with a new position. So ... what would that be? The Big BO's position on guns is that nobody in this country should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon unless they are retired law enforcement officers or members of the U.S. military. We could phrase this another way: Nobody can carry a concealed weapon unless they work for the government as a member of the U.S. military or civilian law enforcement, or used to work for the government as a police officer. This is Obama, folks. Privileges for government and those who work for government ... but for the common man, not so much.

Ahhhhh .... But he's so suave, so debonair, and he speaks so well! It doesn't really matter what he says, but he sure says it good!"

I could not have said it better myself.....

Obama criticizes Clarence Thomas' experience

A friend and fellow blogger posted about the following video where BHO claimed that if he was president at the time, he would not have nominated Clarence Thomas to the SCOTUS. BHO almost said that Clarence Thomas was a bad choice at the time because of inexperience. Now that's the pot calling the kettle....oh nevermind, I was about to be politically incorrect.



Interestingly, having less that 200 days in the US Congress is enough experience to be the president of the United States.

The "fairness" doctrine

FCC Commissioner: Return of Fairness Doctrine Could Control Web Content : "There’s a huge concern among conservative talk radio hosts that reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine would all-but destroy the industry due to equal time constraints. But speech limits might not stop at radio. They could even be extended to include the Internet and 'government dictating content policy.'

FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell raised that as a possibility after talking with bloggers at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. McDowell spoke about a recent FCC vote to bar Comcast from engaging in certain Internet practices – expanding the federal agency’s oversight of Internet networks. "

A huge concern among conservatives? What about anyone who despises the idea of the government dictating what we listen to (and watch and read online)? How about anyone who thinks that the UNfairness doctrine interferes with the freemarket and unfairly dictates what radio stations (non-government entities) broadcast?

Whose fault is it that the radio stations broadcast what earns money? Radio stations are businesses built to make a profit (Oooooh, "evil" profits). Since liberals failed at talk radio they want to make things "fair" by using the power of the government to "even the playing field." Is Congress going to start dictating that rap stations give equal air time to classical and country music....just for the sake of "fairness?" What a bunch of complete and total oppressive government crap.

Comrades, everyone be quiet and let's all be good citizens!

Obama the Rock Star

While I am no fan of John McCain, I have serious concerns about Barack Obama and what Obama wants to do as president. When I ask people specifics about why they're voting for Obama, I get answers such as, "he's very eloquent" and he's "for change." Fine...but what type of changes? Most Obama supporters that I've spoken with don't seem to be able to name any specifics about the Obama platform other than his "immediate" withdrawal from Iraq (which is really a 16-18 month redeployment - significantly longer than "immediate"). Perhaps I am asking the wrong people, such as those in this McCain campaign video.


Ok, ok, Obama does have very soft eyes.

Jon Voight is correct on an Obama presidency

Mr. Voight recently wrote an op-ed in the Washington Times and, in my opinion, Voight has a big set of nads. Knowing that he would upset the liberal apple cart that is Hollywood, Mr. Voight sees Obama for exactly what Mr. Change really is, a socialist.

While I do not agree with everything that Mr. Voight writes, Mr. Voight's overall premise that Mr. Change is a socialist is, in my humble opinion, right on.

VOIGHT: My concerns for America Obama sowing socialist seeds in young people: "We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.

Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.

The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.

The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.

Those same leaders who were in the streets in the '60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.

Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country. Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we've almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake.

If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.

Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero. This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way (emphasis mine)."

Hollywood will likely boycott Mr. Voight and he will certainly have trouble finding work. I give him a ton of credit for taking a very unpopular stance among his socialist peers. Kudos Mr. Voight.

Civilian casualties not condemned because of non-involvement of "the Joooooooos"

From Foxnews.com: South Ossetia Situation a 'Humanitarian Catastrophe:

"The Russian planes appeared to target a military base on the outskirts of Gori which sustained hits, but they also struck living quarters nearby.

Georgia, a staunch U.S. ally, launched a major offensive Friday to retake control over South Ossetia. Russia, which has close ties to the region and has peacekeepers there, responded by sending in armed convoys.

About 1,500 people have been killed and the death toll continued to rise, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told journalists Saturday. The figure could not be independently confirmed, but people who fled the fighting said hundreds of civilians had probably died.

Witnesses said that most of the provincial capital, Tskhinvali, was in ruins and bodies were everywhere. Television footage showed burned out Georgian tanks, and sporadic fighting continued overnight and into Saturday."

There are numerous pictures in the media documenting injured and dead civilians and burning buildings which are nowhere near the conflict zone.

I find it absolutely fascinating that moonbat left wing groups (ISM, the media, add your favorite pinko group here: _______) don't appear to be condemning these civilian casualties. Especially since you could argue that collateral damage of this nature could imply the civilian deaths were no accident. Or that the Russians were bring too "heavy-handed." I guess that civilian casualties in this conflict are not such an issue since the casualties were not inflicted by the "evil Jooooooooos."

How simple is this really?

How simple is this? To me, extremely simple......

From Neal Boortz's website: HOW SIMPLE IS THIS REALLY?

"So ... you're a Barack Obama supporter. You can hardly wait until that magical moment when you can walk into a voting booth and cast your vote for him. Fine. Whatever works for you, right? But can you stop for just a moment and tell me if this really is going to work for you?

Let's talk about your job. Who do you work for. Are you part of that 70% of Americans who work for a small business? If you're newly hired, is your new job part of the 80% of all new jobs that have been created in the private sector by small businessmen? If so, your boss .. the man you work for; the person who signs your paychecks .. that is the very person that is right in the crosshairs for your candidate's proposals for tax increases.

So, before you cast that vote ... know what is at stake. Know that Obama wants to raise taxes – and raise them substantially – on the man or woman you work for. Are you absolutely certain this is not going to have any adverse affect on your job? Tell you what ... why don't you ask him?

Something to think about."

Ayn Rand quote of the day

"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."

Obama's emergency rebate checks; we're the government and we're here to help

Obama proposes $1,000 emergency rebate checks. "ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday pushed for a windfall profits tax to fund $1,000 emergency rebate checks for consumers besieged by high energy costs, a counter to Republican rival John McCain's call for more offshore drilling in coastal states like Florida."

Who in the hell does Mr. Change think will end up paying the cost of a windfall profit tax on the "evil" oil companies? Here's the answer: the cost of the windfall profit tax will be passed onto the consumer. Get ready to pay even more for a gallon of gas all because of Mr. Change's "help." When the price of gasoline goes up even more and we use all of our emergency rebate money to pay for higher prices at the pump, what's next, government fixed gasoline prices?

How about we all get tax reductions of $1000 instead? We desperately need tax reform in this country (numerous countries have successfully implemented flat taxes) and, of course, the government could stop being so damn wasteful. Tax reform and a more fiscally responsible government....no that's a plan.


And that's not all, Obama also wants to increase the capital gains tax:

From Nealz Nuze: IS THIS THE TYPE OF CHANGE YOU WANT? "It seems that Wall Street is already reacting to the prospect of an Obama presidency; this according to some folks who know a lot more about Wall Street than I do. The reaction, by the way, is not positive. For some reason known but to God these investors don't particularly like the idea of higher capital gains taxes and increased taxes on the American investor class. Well ... that's change for you. I guess we're going to have to live with it. The price we pay for The Chosen One to be our next leader."

Increased capital gains taxes will hurt the average American just like the windfall profit tax. I wonder if Obama has a bumper sticker on his car that says, "Honk if you love taxes."

Obama is a Marxist. I am no fan of John McCain (or GW for that matter) but an Obama presidency would be bad for America. We all want change, but Obama in the oval office would be a change for the worst. I'd rather put of with 4 more years of the same crap than have America creep closer towards communism.
