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.)

Carter-Obama Taxes

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.

Newsweek surpasses itself

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.”)

i’d say this will work

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.

Letter from Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani

Following up on the call for democracy and press freedom in Yemen, Jane from Armies of Liberation passes on this letter from Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani:

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.

Barack Obama’s Jedi Mind Tricks

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.

Remember that.

CQ Politics VP Madness Round 2

CQ Politics has Round 2 of VP Madness up–you’ve got until Monday to get your picks in. Here’s how it looks after Round One:

*click*

Can’t say I agree with ALL of those picks, but whatever. ;-)

(I almost missed this, buried beneath 8000 other emails in my inbox - as it is, it came in two days ago.)

Another Obama supporter BUSTED electioneering

Remember this incident where an Obama supporter was videotaped electioneering inside the polling place?

They got another one.

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.

Can We Ask? YES WE CAN!

I have questions for Barack Obama.

1. Since you have said you will sit down with our enemies and you belong to a church that has printed Hamas propaganda, why would you find it surprising that Hamas supports you? More importantly, why do you find it “flattering,” but complain when it’s mentioned by others?

NOBAMA no questions no answers no vote 2. Why do you demand one set of rules for opponents, but live by the complete opposite of those rules? Why do you demand civility from your opponent, then you attack him, distort his record and send out surrogates to question his integrity? Are you a liar, a hypocrite, or both?

3. Considering the fact that 1) you may be the most pro-abortion person on Capitol Hill, and 2) you equated pro-life Senator Tom Coburn with a terrorist, I must ask: would you belong to a church for 20 years that had opposition to abortion as a fundamental value and focus of activism?

Oh, I have plenty more questions to ask, but I’ll have to ask more of them later. Maybe I’ll make this a regular thing, since there’s a whole website set up for the purpose of asking Barry questions. Not that I expect to be given answers, since we all know how irritable he gets about being asked questions. Thou shalt not question thy Obamessiah!

Boohoo Obama

Can we ask? Yes we can!

(Video added)

hillary clinton is a complete mentalist. for real.

Demonstrating that mathematics and naked ambition are not always compatible, the gibbering wreck formerly known as Hillary Clinton declares her intention to soldier on.

Clinton made reference to her interview with USA Today where she said “Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”

Either this woman knows something we don’t, or is no longer in control of her faculties - she cannot overhaul teh Obamessiah™ in either delegates or the popular vote unless the Michigan and Florida delegations are apportioned 100% in her favor; which can only happen if she takes the fight to the credentials committee at the convention. If she controls that committee, which it is alleged she does, and they are prepared to ram through such a rule change, which I suppose they might, then she becomes the first nominee to lose a Presidential election in July.

It’s hard to imagine even the Democrats being so staggeringly stupid, but one never knows. What I do know is that if a Republican had used the words that Hillarious did to describe her target voter, they’d be hounded out of town by 8 o’clock tonight.

Mike Gravel and Obama Girl

And you thought Mike Gravel’s videos couldn’t get any more bizarre.

Are you a fascist?

Of course you are, you jackbooted Rethug. ;-P

Actually, probably not. If you’re like me, “you are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.”

The Next Right

I’ve complained in the past about how ineffectual the right side of the blogosphere is; it’s part of the reason I grumble about how I “hate blogging,” in fact. Oh, yeah, we had Rathergate and the Reuters Fauxtography scandal, and a couple other things that hit critical mass, but that’s just a handful of things in the last four years or so. It’s nothing compared to the things the Nutroots gets done, and I’m not even talking about the enormous amounts of money they can raise compared to us.

The difference: While we talk about how they are negative–and they are–they’re also working FOR something. We’re just generally carping from the cheap seats, playing at punditry and media criticism. They’re getting the nutroots agenda heard on Capitol Hill regularly, and they even were able to take down a Senator who was once a Vice-Presidential candidate (Lieberman) in a primary. There’s no way Ned Lamont could have beaten Joe Lieberman in the primary without the Nutroots. And now, the conservative blogosphere is top-heavy with people who are largely lukewarm (or worse) toward our Presidential candidate, and more against the idea of a President Barack Obama. Well, it’s pretty much our own fault as a collective whole.

Enter The Next Right.

.
The Next Right is a new project started by Patrick Ruffini, Jon Henke, and Soren Dayton, designed to foster political activism using technology like blogs and other Web 2.0 structures. Patrick Ruffini introduces it here:

If you’re looking for pure-play opinion and link bait on sundry topics from Ann Coulter to Jimmy Carter/Hamas, you won’t find it here. What you will find is in-depth (often unabashedly technical) writing about the election, the polls, the strategy, and the issues. Our analysis will track truth and stay true to the numbers. But it will self-consciously serve a greater purpose — educating YOU to be your own political strategist and start doing something — whether that’s blogging about your local Congressional race or Democratic corruption in your state, organizing fundraising drives, and maybe even managing races or running for office yourself. Only a revival of civic engagement at the grassroots level will create a conservative future we want: one that is pork-free and robust in the defense of our country and its values. We can’t call a switchboard and wait for Washington to fix the mess. We have to do it ourselves, from the ground up, in every state.
[...]
We don’t think this alone will solve the activism gap. Anyone who tells you that they alone have the answer is fooling you. This is not “the Daily Kos of the right.” What we’re hoping to do is create momentum and an intellectual framework for action — because action ultimately starts with narratives and ideas. We want grassroots conservatives and libertarians to start believing that they can make a difference again — a sense all too many have lost. Only you – and not some well-funded 527 — can bring the movement into the future. Only when grassroots conservative have a direct stake in the future of the party are we effective. The Next Right is about creating a vision for a 21st century Republican Party and conservative movement.

We need this. Desperately. Go read more about the how and whys of The Next Right, and sign up to be notified when it’s open for business. TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR GOVERNMENT.

THIS MEANS YOU.
