AP: Obama doesn’t sweat

July 17, 2008


Digg!

According to the Associate Press, the liberal Savior is now performing miracles! He doesn’t produce any sweat!

“That view held credence among some of the photographers who regularly accompany Obama. They said that even when he shot hoops earlier this year with members of the University of North Carolina varsity men’s basketball team, they didn’t see Obama sweat.”

I know the media fawn over him, but this is ridiculous.

“…telling niggers how to behave.”

July 16, 2008

What else did Jesse Jackson say, that Fox News refused to air:

“Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling niggers how to behave.”

TV Newser & Inside Cable News both have confirmed it.

Canada to deport U.S. war deserter

July 15, 2008

Headline from Fark:

Canada to US military deserters: Go home, eh. In fact, here’s some handcuffs and a few police officers to escort you

Quote from article by Robert Matas:

VANCOUVER — U.S. army deserter Robin Long is slated to be deported back to his army base in Fort Knox, Ky., Tuesday, which would make him the first resister to the U.S. war effort in Iraq to be sent out of Canada.

Madam Justice Anne Mactavish of the Federal Court of Canada cleared the way for the deportation late Monday, dismissing a last-ditch attempt to delay the process while the 25-year-old pursued further appeals.

“I was just shocked at some things in [the] ruling,” Bob Ages, a spokesman for an informal group called Vancouver War Resisters Support Campaign, told reporters outside the courtroom. “It just flies in the face of everything that we and every Canadian know about the reality of what is going on.”

When he heads back to Fort Knox, he stands to get court marshaled. I hope they throw the book at him. Canada has been coddling these hippies for too long. It may be a different situation if we were in the sixties and their was a mandatory draft. That is not the case here, this punk enlisted in the military knowing full well what he was doing. He turned his back on his brothers and his country when he fled to Canada.

7 Years too late, President Bush

July 14, 2008

Drudge has breaking news that President George W. Bush will now lift the executive ban on offshore oil drilling. Why in the hell has it taken the President seven years to do this? If he had the authority to do this on his own, this should have been one of the first things he did once he took office. It’s not like off shore drilling is a new issue. This has been something conservatives have been yelling since the early 1990s. We would be baring much fruit if President Bush had pushed this issue back in 2001, or at least in 2003 once the GOP had full control of congress. Better late then never, but damn it sucks it took this long.

The Left’s Attack on Barack

July 13, 2008

The media keeps saying it’s the right playing the “race” card, but time and time again we see it’s Obama’s fellow liberals who are the bigots (Larry Johnson and the “Whitey” remark). Now the New Yorker is getting into the mix with this front page, with Obama’s and an American Flag in the fireplace. Classy!

ABC News: Obama’s Iraq Withdrawal Plan is Impossible

July 11, 2008



Digg!

This is another example of the growing number of extremely poor decisions made by Senator Obama. This what happens when a freshman Senator who has worked less then 150 days tries to run for president.

Asked if he considered it dangerous to pull out if the withdrawal is not based on “conditions,” Hammond said, “It’s very dangerous. I’ll speak for the coalition forces, men and women of character and moral courage; we have a mission, and it’s not until the mission is done that I can look my leader in the eye and say, ‘Sir, Ma’am, mission accomplished,’ and I think it is dangerous to leave anything a little early.” (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

“Catholic’s for Obama” - Knock it off!

July 11, 2008
  1. You are not fooling anyone. No one is supporting you. You can throw a couple of semi-prominent people around like Douglas Kmiec and Senator Robert Casey, Jr. but in the end you barely have enough to field both sides of a baseball game. And can you even count Senator Casey? How is he different from any other Democrat politician? Casey said he would support anyone with a “D” by their name, no matter who wins the primary, “We’re going to elect a Democrat as president of the United States.”
  2. You can get past the issue of abortion. It will always block your way to credibility. As Deacon Keith A. Fournier says, “Unless Senator Obama has a conversion over the fundamental human rights issue of our age, the right of every person to life, and the first freedom, the freedom to be born, I cannot vote for him.” He adds, “ Every procured abortion is the taking of a human life and I cannot ever support a candidate who fails to recognize that, Period.”
  3. He is supported by every single pro-abortion rights group in the country.
  4. The Supreme Court is important, and as President he will have the power to nominate very liberal, pro abortion judges. But don’t over look the fact he will also nominate scores and scores of Circuit court and federal judges as well. This is dangerous and most not happen.
  5. There is a Democrat group called “Democrats for Life” they have a program called the 95/10 plan that would seek to eliminate 95% of all abortions in 10 years. Senator Obama does not support this very good plan and would likely work against it if elected.
  6. I know Senator Obama makes you feel good. But what is his proven track record? Do you really believe he has the experience required to be President? He has only worked in the Senate for a little over 140 days. When he was elected in 2005 he was asked if he would run for President in 2008 and he laughed the idea off, calling it ridiculous. He joked it would at least take him three months to figure out the phones!

Jesse Jackson knew he was being recorded

July 10, 2008

Where has Jesse Jackson been? Prior to the controversy yesterday, he’s been missing in action. He’s been out of the spotlight of the media. Since his “accidental” remarks I’ve seen him over a dozen times on the cable news channels. I believe he knew the camera was recording and made his comments knowing everyone would replay it and would thrust him back into the news cycle.

He knew Senator Obama would accept his apology, which of course he would issue right away. Now he has been able to talk about Obama’s plan to continue President Bush’s faith based initiative. And about Obama “talking down to black people,” without having to come straight out and say it. He gets to take a leadership role about this issues that are important to him and gets to look like he is sticking up for the “black man.”

NBC’s fictional President from the West Wing did the same thing. President Bartlett was doing a series of satellite interviews one morning and after one of them he let a comment slip out about his Presidential Republican rival’s lack of intelligence. Well, the media went crazy and for the next week his rivals intelligence was discussed and debated on every news program.

Rev. Jackson has been marginalized by Senator Obama and he wants some of sunshine back on him. And the idiots at CNN and MSNBC seem to be complying.

Watch Jesse Jackson “accidental remarks.”

Shepard Smith - Obama will be President

July 9, 2008



Digg!

The FISA bill passed the Senate today 69-28 with Senator Barack Obama voting yes (after he said he would vote against it).

Shepard Smith reported the vote on Fox News this afternoon. He stumbles as he tried to explain the depth of the legislation. The salient point being the new law gives the telecommunication companies immunity from civil prosecutions, but not criminal. The idea being a future administration may very well have the authority to seek criminal charges if they choose to do so.

“What’s left up for debate now is whether criminal prosecutions would be possible if such a thing would come along later. That is certainly in the back pocket of Barack Obama if he chooses to use it, that’s down the road.

Someone should write Mr. Smith a memo and remind him the election is not until November and it may be Senator McCain or Senator Obama who has to face this decision.

The Declaration of Independence

July 4, 2008

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

  • He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
  • He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
  • He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
  • He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
  • He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
  • He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
  • He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
  • He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
  • He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
  • He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
  • He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
  • He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
  • For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
  • For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
  • For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
  • For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
  • For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
  • For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
  • For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
  • For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
  • For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
  • He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
  • He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
  • He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
  • He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
  • He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

I don’t know how I missed this, but oyez.com lists the full oral arguments of almost every supreme court case since audio has been allowed in the court room! They also have the full transcript along with a “chat box” that shows you, with pictures each person who is speaking! And if you don’t have time to stream the audio online, it lets you download an mp3! Nothing’s cooler then listening to Chief Justice Roberts on your iPod!
