I’ll preface this post by saying I didn’t vote for President Obama. I don’t really like President Obama. I don’t think he will even try to deliver on many, if any, of his promises. I think he will be a disaster. However, that being said, President Obama is my president on Tuesday. If I ever get lucky enough to travel abroad and someone bad mouths him, I will stand up for my president as he is the primary symbol of my country. This is one of the many times I am proud as heck to be American born. It is why I love election season as well. On Tuesday, we show the world how it is done. President Obama will be sworn in. At Noon on Tuesday this country will completely replace the head of its government when Chief Justice John Roberts administers a simple small oath:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Most add “so help me God” to the end, but the constitution does not have that in it. With that one simple sentence, power is transferred. No guns. No riots. No beheading people in the street. No burning of cars. Nothing but a bunch of parties where the winners drink themselves silly in celebration and the losers drink themselves into oblivion fretting about the future which they know will be nothing but pure hell.
We have been at this for less than 250 years and we have it down pat. Countries in Europe that have been around many times our age still can’t get it right. France had burning cars and riots when Sarkozy was elected. Britain had riots when Thatcher was elected. We won’t even talk about Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Saudi Arabia and most if not all of Africa (see Kenya).
Some countries like Canada do it very well too. No doubt. But the gold standard, the A-1 top model, the one that started it all and continues to show the way is the United States of America.
God Bless America and God Bless President Obama. He will need Your guidance these next 4 years, Lord, and I hope he is smart enough to seek it and follow it.
But if he isn’t, well, then we’ll be here to blare it to the world! :)
Apparently Katie Couric was prepped for her interview with Palin by 2 Obama staffers. The saddest part was that she admitted it in an open forum thinking nothing of conflicts of interest or the like. The MSM drops even lower.
[This will remain on top this weekend; scroll down for newer posts.]
Got five dollars? Put it to use. TOMORROW TODAY (Saturday), send just FIVE DOLLARS to the Saxby Chambliss campaign!
A guy on Facebook is trying to get everyone we can reach to send just five dollars, in a sort-of money bomb (like Ron Paul supporters used to do) to give his campaign a boost, and conservatives on Facebook are vastly outnumbered. Let’s spread this throughout the blogs today, okay?
This is the first in a series of blog posts that deal with the election and the aftermath. A couple are not nice to Senator McCain and this is one of them. Beth is going to hate me for this post. I have been seething for 6 weeks or so but now it has come full out. I can’t hold back any longer so here goes. Can you believe that McCain’s people are pawing through Palin’s clothes to make sure she or her family are not taking anything the campaign bought? WTF? Seriously, WTMF? This is the last straw.
Senator McCain, the treatment the Sarah Palin has received and is still receiving for the sin of accepting your invite to be the VP is a disgrace and it lies squarely at your feet.
When you announced Palin, everyone knew it was a brilliant move. So did the democrats. In their war room, their own focus groups were saying things like “Sarah Palin is one of us” or “She can help John McCain shake up Washington”. They were worried. And rightly so. They then went on the rampage savaging her left and right and you said NOTHING. What’s worse is you said NOTHING and forbade her from doing so as well. When they called her every name in the book, you said NOTHING. When they passed the story of Trig being the daughter’s baby, you said NOTHING. When you pulled that stupid stunt (and I was right, it was a stunt, read the article) and started to tank, your people savaged her. When they blamed Palin for your losses, even though she was packing them in every where she went, you said NOTHING.
Now, Senator, they are saying things that are so far beyond the pale that they are obvious lies and you still say NOTHING. You say to blame you for the loss. Guess what? Most people with a brain do! It’s not Palin that refused to fight, It was you. It’s not Palin who sucked in 2 of 3 debates, it was you. It’s not Palin who railed against a couple million in earmarks while signing onto the biggest boondoggle in US history, that was YOU. Now you sit idly by while a dedicated servant of the people, one who put her life on hold for you, gets savaged by your people and you say NOTHING.
Senator McCain, you had a chance to stop this crap the day before the election and you said NOTHING. You had the chance to put a stop to it on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and you said NOTHING. You went on Leno and he gave you an open shot to stop it and when asked, YOU SAID NOTHING! Worse, you tried to dismiss it! In my eyes, you are now lower than dirt. I never really liked you before but I bit my tongue and grudgingly supported you. Now I am ashamed of that support and not because you lost but because of what you are allowing now. One word from you would stop this and you say nothing. So much for honor. So much for dignity.
This is how you treat your friends? This is how you treat those who went through hell for you? This is how you treat the woman who had her life turned completely upsidef’ingdown FOR YOU? She went through all that for YOU senator. This is how you pay her back? You have no honor. You are lucky Todd does.
But even in this, there is one small silver lining. Had you been victorious, we are seeing first hand how you would have treated Sarah and the other conservatives. Sarah will be back in 4 years, hopefully you won’t be.

Hi, I’m Delilah. You know me as Edwardsina from the Canine Party play. I’ve noticed that a lot of you haven’t been happy lately. You’re down and I understand. But I’m here to tell you to SMILE! Look, we know Obama won. It sucks, yes, but we have to deal with it. Moping around and pointing fingers won’t get us anywhere (yet). We’ll have plenty of time to analyze why we lost and what has happened, but until then we need to take some deep breaths.

See that trash right there? I could be sad that my master’s yard is polluted. But the fact is that trash became my toy! I grab the cup or that bag behind me or what’s left of the bag to my right and run like crazy yelling “haha, I’ve got the cup! You don’t have the cup!”.

Then I chase her down and try to take it. I could be sad that I don’t have that cup. I could mope and yell and point fingers. Instead, I get up off my rump and try to do something about it. I chase her down and take the cup back!

I’m Catherine, AKA Obarkillary and I am here to tell you that nothing good comes from crying in your beer, so let’s start getting happier. And I mean now dammit!

I’m London, the MinPin. I know that sometimes things don’t come out like you want. Look at me. I look like a rabbit that was shaved and stretched on a taffy puller! I could have crawled up somewhere and blocked out the world.

Instead, I find my friends and things don’t seem quite so bad. We laugh and joke and have fun! Life goes on and we just make the best of it!

Sometimes you just have to take things in stride! It’s no use worrying about what you can’t control.

Yeah, I remember when my master took me to the vet. Now you think I’m sexy, right girls?

Oh, yeah. Heck yeah! We sure do dear!

See that’s what I thought too. But one day, my master took me to the vet! She walked in and he told her that I was having tummy problems and throwing up a lot. Well, she looked at me and my stomach and then at him. Then at me. Then at him. She had this look like “and you’re surprised why?” on her face. Then out of the blue, she goes all Doctor House, DMV on him. “Well, she’s not exactly ready for bikini season, now is she!”

Oh, no she didn’t. What did master do? Did he come back with a witty one liner like “well, she’s more of a one piece dog anyway”?

Well, not really. See she was a hot blonde and he was more interested in checking out her butt and boobs than figuring out why I was sick. She told him to cut down on the junk food and to keep me from eating scraps. He wasn’t paying any attention. His head just bobbed up and down while Miss Pretty yammered on. His light was on, but no one was home.

Wow, so what does this have to do with not getting upset?

Well, since he didn’t do anything that she said, I decided rather than get mad, I simply went and puked on their bed! As soon as that happened, he remembered what she said and that took care of it!

I see. You took action to stop it from happening again! Good story!

Really, it could be worse. You could be Hillary. I mean think about it. She only stayed with that lout of a husband for one reason. The presidency. Now that’s a distant dream called FAIL! That means, she stuck with him for nothing. Nada! Too funny. Now come on. That would suck royally wouldn’t it?

Ok, so our first step is to get happy. To help you with that, our friends have sent in some pictures. Now this idea was shamelessly stolen from Brian at MGoBlog.com. It’s a Michigan Wolverine site and he put this theme up after App State beat UM last year. So here we go:

Hey, how did that picture get in here. Dang it, you let master do the pictures didn’t you? Well, yeah, he has the password. Ugh. Ok, moving on…
See, now don’t you feel so much better! It could always be worse and with puppies and kitties, nothing can be better. So turn that frown, upside-down and SMILE!
Awww, turn that post-election frown upside-down! :P
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
LOL.
Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are
As only XKCD can say it. LOL.
It didn’t happen like we wanted but it happened. So what do we do now? There are a lot of people who will just want to stay in bed. Not me. There are a lot of people who will be depressed. Don’t. You have to believe in America. That’s not just a line. In my heart, I believe in America. I believe that America will overcome anything and prosper. We survived 4 years of Carter. We survived 8 years of Clinton. We survived 8 years of Bush. WE WILL SURVIVE THIS. Even if he bombs as president and is worse than Carter, we will survive it.
Gas prices may go up. They may not. We’ve dealt with that before, if it happens, we’ll deal with it again. Oil prices may go up, they may not. We’ve been there and done that. We will survive it if it happens. We may face test after test. And if we do, we will pass them because we’re Americans and that’s what we do. America is the best country on the planet. Sometimes we do some crazy things. But each time, we have come back and corrected the mistake. If Obama is as bad as we fear, he will be gone in 4 years and someone else will take his place and start repairing the damage.
On the flip side, maybe, just maybe, he will be better than we hope. Maybe his radical past is just that: past. Maybe all the things we fear will not happen. It’s possible that this great nation in its collective intelligence knows something we don’t. President elect Obama may just be what this country needs. Now I doubt it, but as an American, I am going to believe that this nation will overcome and advance. He deserves the chance to prove himself and the American spirit demands that we give him such.
In that spirit be the loyal opposition. Wait for his policies. If they are good, support them. If not, oppose them. Watch for what he does as president before you judge. He may surprise us. He may not. Either way, we have him for the next four years. Get used to him.
Keep your heads up. Keep positive. We will overcome this. We will be stronger for it. We are the greatest country in the world and that will not change. We’re Americans. Overcoming and getting stronger is what we do.
God Bless America. We need Him more than ever. And that is true no matter who is president.
For now, I’ve decided to follow the model set by Barack Obama at his website, and how the Obama campaign deals with critics.
Your comments will be deleted if they are deemed by me as insulting in any way. “Insulting”‘ includes “stupid,” too - if your comment is stupid, it’s gone. Also, insults phrased “politely” and concern trolls are fair game. Exception: really stupid stuff will stay for our entertainment.
Don’t like it? Sorry (not really!), but consistency would be nice. Complain to teh Obamessiah about his practices - I’m just following his example, except at least I don’t automatically ban people. :P
I’m probably only back here for a few days and then I’ll be back to real life again - although we’ll just have to see. But at least while I’m here, trolls will be relentlessly exterminated. This election season has seen enough hateful crap on teh internets (and elsewhere), and all of it is pointless.
Get a life, people.
She’s funny and can laugh at herself. In the rally in Ohio Sunday, she told Tina Fey to “Keep the Sarah outfit“.
Gotta love that. Remember, live chat tomorrow. It will be up most of the day and night.
I’ll be working over my coworkers again tomorrow. I think I convinced one more today by showing her the “your electric rates will sky rocket” clip. Do what you can. If we get our side to the polls, I think we win.
A 45 year pollster says it will be a McCain landslide because of the P.U.M.A.’s. Read this one first. Then read this one. They’re very interesting. Here’s hoping he’s right. I’d much rather get the P.U.M.A. factor than have to count on the Bradley effect.
Straight from the horse’s mouth.
He was for (everything) before he was against (everything).
By the way, have YOU made phone calls today? It’s NOT TOO LATE!

Investigating Obama: Career Path Toward a Neo-Marxist Presidency
A narrative of facts many have not heard, documented with Web links
Barack Obama, by his own book, plus the testimony of relatives and friends, was raised in quite a family. While in high school, his mother developed an affinity with a teacher who led readings from Marx. She became an atheist or agnostic and met Barack Obama Sr. in a college Russian language class - a Russian language class, circa 1960.
With no father in his home in Hawaii, he was mentored throughout his teens by Frank Marshall Davis, a man famous in communist circles, with numerous FBI files. Davis also wrote an autobiography, Sex Rebel (explicit references) which demonstrates numerous of his perversions, including pedophilia. Nothing new there, “sexual revolution” was a part of the Russia’s Marxist revolution: sex is divorced from reproduction, marriage, and child rearing; abortion becomes sublime. Sexual involvement is “liberated” into mutual use.
According to a former intelligence officer who had read the FBI files, Davis laid out a generic communist plan “to take over America from within, by installing educators at all levels of our educational system, gaining control of the media, getting Liberal judges appointed, recruiting, training and backing people to be elected to public office.”
From Hawaii, Barack was on to New York and Columbia University (Bill Ayers was a neighbor there, too) and then Chicago (where Ayers returned). Obama writes of attending socialist conferences and reading Marxist books around this time. He was trained in and taught the insurgent methods of “Rules for Radicals” drafted by cynical, “transformational Marxist,” Saul Alinsky. Thesis: lie, cheat, steal, etc., while making those who uphold American principles live up to impossibly high standards of institutional altruism, so that we and our liberal government fail in ridicule. Preach “change” and gradually build an activist army of the proletariat, motivated by (short sighted) self interest, for a crescendoing revolt. All, to pave the way for the “egalitarian state.” And funny thing, Alinsky’s book tosses an acknowledgment to Lucifer, “the very first radical,” a refreshing lapse into candor.
In Chicago, Obama met his wife Michelle at the Sidley & Austin law firm, where terrorist Ayers’ terrorist wife, Bernardine Dohrn worked, too. And in Chicago, they joined Jeremiah Wright’s church, investing two decades and significant indoctrination of their daughters there. That is, until Wright turned his criticism from merely “God damn America,” toward the one, Obama. This congregation espouses Black Liberation Theology, an institutionalization of ethnocentric bitterness and a variant of Liberation Theology, which had been conceived in South America as an attempt to sell Marxism to Christians through the clergy, misapplying portions of the Bible. Concurrently, Obama has repeatedly exhorted, “our individual salvation depends on collective salvation.” While that would have been less than Good News to Christ’s Apostles, Marx may have found it catchy.
Obama also shared an office for apparently three years with Ayers and fellow SDS member Michael Klonsky (a self-described Maoist communist) while taking Annenberg millions and devoting much of it to ACORN and other insurgent-socialist “community organizations” fitting the terrorist Weathermen’s model. The goal? “Raise political consciousness,” chiefly among black school kids. (Historically, an SDS and Weathermen objective has been to piggyback upon any black revolt in America, for their Marxist ends.) What “political consciousness?” One attractive to Ayers, a self-proclaimed anarchistic Marxist. Ayers secured the purse, thus presumably played a responsible role in setting up young Mr. Obama as chairman. They apparently formed a small circle of Chicago’s education radicals.
In an overlapping circle, Obama became a member of the Marxist “New Party” in the 1990’s while maintaining membership in the Democratic Party. Soviet apologist, Alice Palmer hand picked Obama to succeed her as Illinois State Senator. He also gained an odd circle of radical Islamist, anti-Israel friends, including Khalid al Mansour, Rasheid Khalidi, and Ali Abunimah. He has connected with the radical Musllim Brotherhood, and Louis Farrakhan credits Obama with a key role in organizing his 1995 “Million Man March.”
And what has Obama been doing as Senator besides running for President? Well, in 2006 he campaigned in Kenya for Raila Odinga, a communist Kenyan out of prison for a coup attempt, who allied himself with radical Islamists and their establishment of brutally oppressive Sharia law in that nation. Odinga lost and led the kind of protest that killed 1,000 to 1,500 Kenyans, mostly Christians, mostly by Muslims. Rape, too. Churches were burned. The thuggery worked and Obama’s man was named Prime Minister, a “change” for which Obama allegedly raised $1M.
Many Americans are hearing about Obama’s redistributionist tax and welfare/workfare plans, but do not know he wants to build (draft?) a massive, ftp://ftp. “civilian national security force” as powerful and funded as our military. And, he has pledged to plan his presidential agenda in meetings with ACORN. He is also committed to the “Freedom of Choice Act,” which would nullify all laws against partial birth abortion and those for parental notification, and any other restriction of abortion. So much for “Life, Liberty, and Property.”
This is one page’s worth of the many elements in an apparently Marxist career development of the one poised to become, of all things, United States President.

Thank you, Sean Hackbarth — I’ve been waiting impatiently for this SNL giraffes video to appear on teh internets!
God, that’s awesome.
No, I’m not really back - the blogosphere still makes me violently ill with all the stupid bullshit and rabid, deranged libtards. (Go to hell, Obamabots!) I just wanted to post this (God’s gift to) video and delete some stupid troll droppings from moderation — because I can. Suck it up, Greg and other Obamabots — the others might be nice and approve your drivel while I’m away, but when I’m here, you can forget it. I’m away from the blogosphere because I can get more than my daily recommended allowance of dishonest bullshit just by watching David Axelrod and the other Obama goons on teevee. I don’t need to see the same shit spewed by a bunch of retarded losers pounding on keyboards, but thanks for your contribution anyway. I’m sure you trolls have provided my friends here and elsewhere with many hours of rollicking laughter. :P
I’ll be here for the Election Night live-blogging/chat. Delicate sensibilities should be left at the door. I’ll be sooo glad for this excruciatingly long election to be over! In the meantime, I’ll be busy calling people to get out the vote. WILL YOU? Do it, or shut up. (That’s another reason I’m over blogging - too much talk, waaaay too little ACTION.)
USE YOUR BRAIN, VOTE MCCAIN!
Ok, the polls are all over the place. Zogby had McCain up 1 in a one day poll Saturday (yeah, I know, Zogby). TIPP and others have him within the margin of error. Others are an Obama blowout. I don’t know if any of the traditional polls will be even close. This could be anything from a solid McCain win to an Obama blowout. No knows what the Bradley effect will be. No knows how many P.U.M.A.’s there are. No one knows how many new voters Obama will actually get to the polls. All we know is that on Tuesday, we get to cast our vote for our opinion. Make yours heard.
Nothing is in your control except your vote. Get out there and vote. Wait in line. Do not listen to the early results. If they say McCain is winning, assume they are trying to get you overconfident and make you want to skip a long line. If they say Obama is winning, assume they are trying to depress you and get you to think it’s all for naught and say “why bother”. Remember, they overstated Obama’s numbers by a couple points in the primaries on most occasions.
Your vote belongs to you. Not the New York Times. Not the Washington Post. Not the elites of Europe. Not Fox News. Not your next door neighbor. You and you alone. It is your one way of thumbing your nose and sticking it to the people in charge. The only wasted vote is one that was not cast. Assume the other side is getting every eligible person out to vote and do your part. Encourage others that are thinking of not voting. Drag them to the polls if you have to. Don’t get down. Don’t stop. Don’t rest. We’ll have 2 years to rest after Tuesday. If we vote and lose, so be it. It wasn’t meant to be. If we lose because we didn’t vote, then that will make us derelict in our duty to our country. If that happens, we will only have ourselves to blame if we start losing freedoms and our wages to the government.
THIS RACE IS NOT OVER UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT WHEN THE POLLS CLOSE IN YOUR AREA.
Keep moving forward. Keep your spirits up. Move it out. Get out and vote. It’s your duty.
Let’s roll!
