Jesus wept. Almost as sickening: this cult shit. No, wait. More sickening, because at least we can laugh at the trash above. The culty stuff, not so much. Screw you, Obamatards; yes I can think Hope™ is a fraud for gullible idiots.
(Via TC.)
We. Are. Doomed.
I wonder, do the idiots who make these videos have ANY idea how ridiculous they look? Do they have any sense of how much these look like parody? (They actually aren’t parody. Really.)

Change! (Out of your pocket.) I hope not–I’m not up for “malaise,” thanks.
I’ve got a slew of links lined up to auto-post early in the morning–LOTS of good stuff that I couldn’t possibly post one by one in separate posts, although they deserve that kind of attention. Be sure to watch for them.
HILLARY CLINTON– Thanks for inviting me. White people vote for me!
BARACK OBAMA– It’s good for me to be here to bring hope and change to this roundtable.
COBRA COMMANDER– I will bring this wretched world to its knees with my army of genetically mutated cyborg spiders!
XRAN– Really, cool. Okay, first question for all the candidates. Where do you stand on Israel?
JOHN MCCAIN– On the ground you mangy flea bitten varmint! And if anyone looks at Israel cock-eyed I’ll reach down their throat and jerk out a lung.
HILLARY CLINTON– I pledge to stand by Israel and talk tough to all its enemies, unless it becomes more politically expedient for me to throw it to the wolves.
BARACK OBAMA– I will bring hope and change to the Middle East through a program of change and hope.
Speaking of Obama (as if I don’t do this daily, right?), there’s a cult for us. Er…a blogroll, that is. I just slapped that one up under the NOBAMA links in the sidebar. Go get on it!
GAWD. American Idol is simply the worst crap ever, especially this year.
How is it that Simon Cowell is on both American Idol and Britain’s Got Talent, and we end up with the lamest, most boring shit ever? David “Susan” Archuleta, Jason Poopy Castro, and David Cook and his Plastic Hair? (Syesha is nothing special either, although I voted ten times for her last night because of my violent hatred for the two Davids.)
To Chris & everyone from last night’s live-blog: Sorry I missed the live-blog; I was busy getting Jane’s website (Armies of Liberation) redone and wasn’t at a good stopping point. (Go look!) I still have some more finishing touches to do here and there, but it’s basically finished. :)
Anyway, I did watch/cringe during last night’s show, and I can only say this: WORST SEASON EVER. I hate everyone who voted for the two Davids almost as much as I hate everyone who kept Poopy around as long as he was. Syesha is boring as hell, but she’s nowhere near as bad as the others. Tonight will be a new low in vicious bile-spewing in our live-blog. Sixty Minute Hate. TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL!
Thanks to c.a. Marks for the Faryl Smith video! (via email)
The authors must be extremely talented persons - to perform dazzling fellatio on teh Obamessiah™, whilst simultaneously writing a shameless puff piece on his behalf is some feat.
But don’t worry. They accomplish it with aplomb - I suspect they’re still wiping each other’s chins - but the article made it into Newsweek (who have abandoned any pretense of objectivity and are now openly cheerleading for teh Obamessiah™) with the entirely unbiased headline “Sit Back, Relax, Get Ready to Rumble” (yes, they did call it that).
There are no screamers on Team Obama; one senior Obama aide says he’s heard him yell only twice in four years. Obama was explicit from the beginning: there was to be “no drama,” he told his aides. “I don’t want elbowing or finger-pointing. We’re going to rise or fall together.” Obama wanted steady, calm, focused leadership; he wanted to keep out the grandstanders and make sure the quiet dissenters spoke up. A good formula for running a campaign—or a presidency.
Oh baby……oh yeah….right there…..that’s it baby! Who’s your daddy?
Don’t worry though, they are journalists, so they can maintain OBJECTIVITY.
The Republican Party has been successfully scaring voters since 1968, when Richard Nixon built a Silent Majority out of lower- and middle-class folks frightened or disturbed by hippies and student radicals and blacks rioting in the inner cities.
People were ahem, scared, by rioting, and flag-burning and people smoking weed in the streets? Those NASTY Republicans, always scaring people.
Obama disdains cable-TV talk-show shoutfests as trivial sideshows, and he tends to discount the seriousness of campaign gaffes and flaps. As a result, he was slow to denounce the most recent round of tirades by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. By failing to alert Obama to the gravity of the Wright fiasco, “I don’t think we served him well,” admits his chief strategist, David Axelrod.
Is that haughty disdain, of the John F. Kerry variety, or just the regular disdain of typical white people? (Interesting that this genius needs David Axelrod to ‘alert’ him to the ‘gravity’ of his Pastor going around accusing the God-damned US Government of indiscriminate mass murder, amongst other less serious indiscretions).
Obama’s almost preternatural equanimity has helped keep his campaign on an even keel. Although he can seem slightly humorless on TV, as he is fencing with an inquiring anchorperson or debating an opponent, he has a light touch in the office, and he can laugh off adversity.
Preternatural equanimity, as in shaven, pregnant, web-footed MILF’s blowing Thai ladyboys? (Seriously, was this manuscript submitted with the pages stuck together?).
After watching his father’s triumph in 1988 and failure in 1992, George W. Bush had a good feel for the mechanics of campaigning: the importance of money, message and geography. His 2000 campaign was well managed by a tight group of loyal aides, with little infighting. It was only after he became president that voters began to grasp Bush’s failings as an executive—his disdain for expert opinion, his stubborn approach to policy or rivals, his fatal lack of follow-through.
Like his decision to cut and run in Iraq? His shameful cheerleading for Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Hamas? His willingness to believe that any accusation from a sworn enemy of America is a prima facie case of our brutal imperialism?
Oh no, that would be the authors, wouldn’t it?
Obama, at least, seems to be more curious than the current president. Ruchi Bhowmik, a legislative counsel in Obama’s Senate office, is one of the staffers whom Obama has called upon because she was too quiet in a gathering. “When he’s at a meeting, he’s very inclusive and a very good listener,” she tells NEWSWEEK. “He’s not looking to dictate what everyone is discussing, and he wants to hear what everyone is thinking. He doesn’t discount things.”
(Take a listen at the door of the authors as they wrap up:
“Yeah honey, do you like it there? Does that feel good? Oh baby…..that’s right…..yeah..yeah….yeah…yeah…..yeah….right there baby….oh look at that baby….oh My God…oh My God…oh My God!!!!!
OK we’re finished, let’s send it in to the office.”)
Investors Business Daily, the bastion of clear-headed conservative thought, nails a strategy for beating teh Obamessiah™
Confront his vacuous platform. (I would also add; use his own words to describe his positions and thereby label him a featherweight radical liberal neophyte (who is more than peripherally connected to a bunch of dubious, corrupt slime-merchants from the sleaziest arena in politics)).
The way Republicans will beat Sen. Barack Obama is by making the election a referendum on him — by exposing his dangerous agenda and radical record. There are signs that the GOP intends to do exactly that.
Mitch McConnell, as usual, is in the vanguard.
McConnell, a longtime member of the Senate, also pointed out that the image of Obama as uniter and bridge builder is nothing more than a legend.
“I can’t think of a single occasion” when Obama “has been involved with Republicans on any meaningful legislation,” McConnell said. “He’s a straight-line, big-government, high-taxing liberal.”
Never a truer word spoken, and it needs to be repeated until the voters are saying it in their sleep.
Hillary is a dreadful egomaniac without a scintilla of regard for the truth, and she’d be a seriously bad President. That said, she’s almost a grown-up with a record of occasionally taking adult positions on very important issues that sophomoric lefties like Obama would simply sniff at and deem naive (or some other Carteresque code words for ‘offensive to middle-class campus radicals’). He’s the real deal, if you use that term to describe elitist nanny-state crypto-Marxists, and stopping him is a job that needs to be taken seriously.
I suspect the voters will come to this realization and deliver the White House to John McCain, but our side needs to make sure there’s no possibility of that not happening. An Obama Presidency would be catastrophic for America, and arguably the world - his ideas have been tried on every continent across the globe, and, put very simply, they don’t work, never will, and generally cause untold misery and suffering.
By all means let him be a standard-bearer for the moneyed-elite Democrats in their urban coffee-house cocoons, but for God’s sake don’t let him near the football.
Thank you very much for this campaign, which comes in the context of the overall values that we believe, and they punish us when we believe those values and adopt them. I do not want to talk about myself, but rather the environment that we live in and suffering we endure from the inconsistency between what the authorities announce about democracy and freedoms, and what happens when we believe in those same things, democracy and freedoms.
They want us to practice our rights as they understand them, but we do it ideally. The regime said that democracy is the way of ruling, but when we try to practice our rights within this concept, criticizing the way that the regime governs and how they act, then they deal with us in a way that has no relation to democracy. They deal with us as outlaws. They use all of the state’s resources to attack anyone who has any opinions not corresponding with their opinions, and to attack those who even discuss their way of ruling.
What I am suffering and facing is part of the price I and many others pay for the democracy and freedom we hope to achieve in the future. At least we are preparing for a healthy environment that we want the next generation to live in. We believe that democracy and freedom have an expensive price, and this is a part of that price.
However that doesn’t mean we will keep silent and bend, as it is the price. We will refuse injustice peacefully. Solidarity is a way to enhance new civil values which support the democracy we will make with our sacrifice and with the support of others. We pay the price of the freedom for ourselves and for the generations after us. Again, thank you very much for your help and support.

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone! Be sure to read Chris’ Mother’s Day post! It’s awesome.
Go visit some of my favorite moms and wish them a Happy Mother’s Day today, okay? (List below the break.) They’re not ALL moms, but they all deserve well wishes today. :)
Sarah heard the distant cry of her daughter in her bedroom. She opened her eyes, to the sight of darkness. No light meant the middle of the night. “I’m never going to get any sleep.” It was the third time Leslie had cried out. The first two times Sarah went to her room only to find her back to sleep when she got there. This time she wasn’t getting out of bed. Her husband snored next to her. She rolled over and nudged him. “Your turn” she whispered. His snore didn’t change. She pushed him again and his snore broke for a moment and continued. She waited for a moment, hoping the crying would stop. The cries tapered off and faded out. Sarah waited a few minutes lying still as she could, as if her rolling back over would reawaken her daughter. No more sounds came from Leslie’s room. Sarah rolled back over to sleep and was met face to face with her little girl standing at her bedside. Startled, she nearly jumped out of her skin. Stifling a shriek, she mumbled to her little girl, “What is it sweetie?” The teary broken-voiced reply was “I have to potty”. Checking her frustration, she mumbled “Go ahead. You don’t have to ask for that. Just do it sweetie.” Leslie turned and staggered off to the bathroom. As she walked away, Sarah called a little louder “Thank you for not peeing the bed sweetie”. Leslie made no reply as her tiny five year old body walked around the corner to the bathroom. While Sarah waited for the flush that never came, she fitfully drifted back to sleep.
The alarm ripped her from her dreams and woke her up with a start. Sarah sat up and hit the off button on the alarm clock. The space where her husband snored the night away was empty. She pulled her robe over her pajamas and staggered off to the kitchen to get the kids ready for school. She deflected off the door frame as she entered the kitchen. Rubbing her shoulder, she saw Leslie already at the table. “GOOD MORNING MOMMY!” she shouted in a voice that was all too perky for someone who woke mommy in the middle of the night. Sarah smiled weakly and inquired about breakfast. “I want cereallllll!” boomed that same all too loud happy voice.
Jake bounded in and grabbed the bread for toast. “Hey mom!” Looking at Leslie “Hey lizard!” He popped 2 slices in and grabbed the jelly out of the refrigerator and waited. Leslie’s reply was immediate. “I’m not a lizard. You are!”
Jake fired back “L!-O!-S!-E!-R! LOOOOOSSSSSEEERRRR”
“MOM! Jake is calling me names again!”
“I am not!”
“You called me a loser!”
“No I didn’t”
“And you called me a lizard”
“Nope, don’t think so”
“Did too”
“Not”
“MOM!”
Sarah stared out her kitchen window as they battled. She was already exhausted from the night and now frustration was building. “JAKE! Knock it off!”
Jake fired one more quiet “loser” as he turned to his toast. Leslie muttered back “you are”. Their new battle was interrupted by Sarah who seemed to be talking her herself while looking out the window.
“Have kids they said. Yeah, have kids. It’s so much fun. Beh! I could be on a cruise right now with all the money I would have saved. Yeah, a cruise. I would look out over the ocean. There it is. Hi ocean. Pretty ocean. Oh, look! There’s a dolphin. Hi dolphin. Yes, swim dolphin, swim. Pretty, pretty dolphin. You did a dolphin flip for me. Thank you! How pretty. Look, there’s an island too. What? It’s time for my massage? Tell Fabio I’ll be right there. Pretty, pretty Fabio. Pretty, pretty ocean…”
Vickie barged through the kitchen, book bag in one hand, keys in the other. “Hi mom, bye mom. Love you mom.”
Sarah left her happy place and glanced over just in time to see Vickie scurry past trying to get out without being seen. “Freeze missy!” Vickie stopped, grunted and sighed. She turned to look at Sarah and grunted again. “Yes? I’m in a hurry.”
Jake and Leslie, who were still giggling about mom’s “cruise”, started to laugh. Sarah looked at her daughter, dressed more for a night out than school.
“Um, I don’t think that is quite what the school has in mind when they say dress appropriately.”
Vickie put her best whine voice on, “MOM! Jason’s going to be there and I want to look nice.”
“Yeah, nice. OK. That dress doesn’t say ‘I look nice’. That dress screams ‘I’m an all you can eat Vickie buffet’. It’s not nice. It’s desperate. Besides, what happened to Charles?”
“You never pay attention to me. Charlie was 2 boyfriends ago.”
“Well, can you stay with one long enough for me to be able to say hi to him?”
Vickie smiled an impish grin. She turned so her side was to Sarah and informed her “You’re just jealous that *I* get the boys now because my butt’s tight and yours ain’t right.” Then she turned her chest to her mom, shook it and rhymed “And you don’t have, these no more, ‘cause yours are draggin’ on the floor! HA!”
Sarah fired back “Yeah and it’s your fault too. Go on, get out of here. I’m too tired to argue”
Vickie snatched up her books again and took off.
Turning to a giggling Jake and Leslie she informed “What are you laughing at, you did this to me too”. They laughed harder.
As Vickie left Sarah made one final plea “Just make sure you change that before your dad gets home. His heart is bad enough”
Vickie bolted out the door with a “Love you mom” trailing off.
The faint rev of a car motor startled Sarah out of her reminiscence. Of all the times to lose her thoughts, why now? And why a memory from 26 years ago? Leslie waking her up and then getting the kids ready for school? Where did that come from? She heard the engine stop. Looking into the mirror, she saw her unprepared face. The lines and creases that had long ago replaced the glow of her youth seemed to stare back at her more than ever. Her frustration started to boil up. It was the second time in an hour that she lost her thoughts. The first time, the burning of her breakfast snapped her out. It was happening more and more. Why could she could not keep her thoughts anymore? Why could she not concentrate on anything? She had faded out for too long and now there was no time to get ready. Her mind raced. She had no makeup, no hair fixed, nothing. She thought of the kids. Everyone was going to be so angry with her. She slammed down her brush and grabbed a tissue to fight the tears. Her hands shook as she blotted her eyes. Jake opened the front door. “MOM?” Sarah made no reply. Jake entered the house. His two toddlers bounded in behind him and bolted to the TV room with their mom to wait for Grandma. Jake walked to his mom’s room and looked in the open door. She turned to face him. She didn’t need to speak. He could see her pain and sadness. “I’m, I’m not ready yet.” Jake ignored the clock that said he was late. He smiled gently and reassured her. “It’s ok mom. We’re a bit early today. Take your time.” He walked up to her.
“It’s going to be a while. I have no makeup on, my hair isn’t done. I, I just can’t…”
Jake touched his mom’s cheek. “You look great momma. Your hair is fine. Come here”
He wrapped his arms around her while she sobbed softly into his shoulder.
“I love you mommy. I’m here for you. I’ll always be here for you. So will Leslie and Vickie.”
Sarah’s heart lightened and her tears stopped. She held the embrace as tight as she could.
The sound of another car announced Leslie’s arrival. Jake broke the embrace and stepped behind his mother to help her work on her hair. Lunch would be a bit late, but that was ok.
Mothers give of themselves all through your life. She gave you her life’s energy when you were in her womb. You sapped her strength when you learned to walk and started to grow. You tried her patience more each day as you grew older and decided you knew more. When you moved out, her heart went with you and her thoughts were on you often. After you moved away, you realized how smart, wise and patient she really was. You were amazed at how she ran a household while you and your siblings tried every angle to get your way. All these things weren’t for money or fame or accolades. They were done for love and the memories. Every line in her face is a memory that made her smile. Every grey hair is a memory of a moment that tried her patience. But it’s all part of being a mom and the one thing that drives her to do it are those four little words. When they are spoken with sincerity and honesty, they soothe bad moods and calm turmoil filled hearts. The four little words that mom spoke to make it all better for us, makes it all worth it for her as well. No one knows how long she’ll be with you. Now that she is older, she needs your love and your patience and your help as much as you can. So today and every day possible, make sure you tell her those four words that heal and warm her heart. They mean more than any flowers or card ever could.
Also commonly known as “groupthink” or “brainwashing.”
That’s funny, but the idea of Barack Obama as President isn’t funny. I got the following via email and it sums up neatly why Barack Obama is WRONG FOR AMERICA, and the agenda for which he’s using his “Jedi Mind Tricks.”
Policy wise, Obama will push us gleefully towards socialism, which cannot be good to the average blue collar worker, teacher or trucker, much less business owner or corporation. His policies will cause gas prices to skyrocket even higher and faster than they currently are. He is opposed to drilling for more oil. He is in favor of more regulation, and even thinks he is smart enough to determine the salaries of CEO’s.
On abortion he has a 100% National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) rating. He is in favor of partial birth abortion, supports transporting minors across state lines for abortions, and is against holding accountable doctors who fail to provide treatment for babies born live after botched abortions.
On taxes he wants to eliminate the Bush tax cuts and will be happy as a clam to raise them. He is so far out of touch with reality that he doesn’t even think “we the people” want our taxes reduced.
On crime, he is against stiffer penalties against gang members, supports needle exchanges and is soft on sex predators.
On health care, he is a Hillary clone, and wants to create universal health care, which is just another term for socialized medicine…which hasn’t worked anywhere its been tried.
On education he supports sex education for grade schoolers and thinks anyone with a B average or above should get free college.
On guns, Barack is so extreme he doesn’t even put his position up on his campaign website. He proclaims his support for the Second Amendment, but is working hard to turn America into a “gun free” zone, where self defense is outlawed. Naturally, he is against concealed weapons.
Most politicians would be sunk with friends like Barack’s.
His associations with his pals are amazing — Jeremiah Wright, his spiritual mentor thinks God should damn America. Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, now a college professor stomps on the American flag and declares he wished he would have set off more bombs.
Barack’s pal Frank Marshall Davis who he looked upon as “father” is an anti-Christian radical and member of the Communist Party USA, while his official campaign blogger’s work appeared in a socialist magazine and he had a communist flag at his home.
Tony Rezko, of course is still in trouble with the law. Code Pink founder Jodie Evans not only raised money for Barack, but also for Islamic radicals in Iraq.
Is this guy actually qualified to be President?
Of course not, in the traditional sense. He got educated, has no business experience, cut his teeth as a community activist, breezed through a stint in the Illinois state legislature, and spent two years as a U.S. Senator.
“Qualification” when it comes to politics is different than the real world. Qualified to run for office merely means that you have connections, you have a fundraising base and you have supporters. That’s it. Many of us don’t, nor do we necessarily have the desire. But he does, and he has it all in a major way.
Is he actually ready to be Commander in Chief, to be the leader of the free world, to be the true hope of those living under oppression? Well, if you put it that way, the answer is no. His solution to Iran, radical Islam and the terrorists running rampant in Iraq and Afghanistan is to sit down and talk with them. He doesn’t get it. They are done talking.
Barack is a liberal forged from the same molten fire deep within the same mountain as Hillary Clinton. And since he is, and since she is so prominent, you’d think the Democrats would want a Hillary/Barack ticket, and not Barack at the top of the heap. After all, that would be the safest bet.
But no, Democrats are jumping ship on Hillary and swimming over to the S.S. Obama. Why? Almost nothing can explain it. . . except one thing.
And I am telling you it is not the obvious. It is not Barack’s message of Hope and Change that has struck a chord. No, just about every Democrat has been selling that same old swill for years.
Everyone knows that “Hope” to a Democrat means more money from you going to the government.
Everyone also knows that “Change” to a Democrat means jettisoning the Free Enterprise system and exchanging it for socialism.
Not that I’m surprised - everyone knows how this kind of thing has always been going on with the Democrats forever. It’s just sort of shocking to actually SEE it, especially with it being done so brazenly. Bitch can’t even pretend she didn’t know, because she hid when election officials came around, and got defensive with the people filming. Bitch.
I’m going to make sure I get placed in heavily Democratic precincts on election day when I volunteer to do poll-watching. I’ve always been sitting at the mind-numbingly boring ones where nothing is going on. Not any more.
Y’all might want to think about volunteering to poll-watch in your area, too, at least for a couple hours. There’s nothing to it, and someone’s got to keep these criminals from cheating like they always do. Apparently these jackasses that got caught on film are used to being “watched” by accomplices. Idiots. Stupid, clueless, bassackwards, dishonest, low-life idiots. You’ve gotta love that they’re caught on film, being shown to the world on YouTube. Finally.
