AP: Obama doesn’t sweat
July 17, 2008
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.
See this video from Hot Air for context:
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
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- 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.”
- 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.”
- He is supported by every single pro-abortion rights group in the country.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Shepard Smith - Obama will be President
July 9, 2008
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.
Obama attacks disappear from Hillary’s site
July 2, 2008No surprise at all, Hillary Clinton’s website has removed all anti-Barack Obama content. Hillary’s webmaster must have had a busy few days, as her website was full of negavtive information and videos against Senator Obama. The Washington Times has a story about it here. Unfortunately for Hillary and Barack, youtube doesn’t forget…
Obama Falsely Accuses Rush
July 2, 2008Senator Barack Obama’s official “fight the Smear” website falsely accused Rush Limbaugh as spreading lies about Michelle Obama. Obama’s attack is the lead entry on their website. They fail to mention the man who actually started the rumor, a democrat named Larry Johnson.
Is this the politics of change? Senator Obama is purposely lying and using Rush Limbaugh’s name because he knows it will score points with his far left base. When you click the “continue reading,” you get more information. They claim on May 30, 2008 Rush said on his show “he heard a rumor that a tape exists.” They provide no context, no quotes and no links to show proof that Rush was spreading lies about his wife. They blame right ring attackers when it was actually a democrat named Larry Johnson who started the rumor! They quote him second as an after thought:
On June 12, 2008 Rush respond to the attack by Obama:
“This Michelle (My Belle) Obama “whitey” rumor, the tape and so forth, the DVD that was out there, I heard about this for two weeks before I ever commented on this. I heard about it for two weeks. I didn’t talk about it. I didn’t repeat it. I didn’t reference it, and then all of a sudden I see that some in the Drive-By Media think that Hannity has the tape and that he is holding the tape. Then some other people said the RNC had the tape and they’re going to hold the tape ’til October, they were not going to release it prior to the Democrat nomination fight finishing ’cause they didn’t want to get rid of Obama because they think he’s the weakest candidate of the two, since Hillary was on her way out, let’s leave her out. And then after two or three weeks of this, I did mention it as a rumor going around ’cause it had reached critical mass and there were people saying that they had seen it, but they wouldn’t produce it.
So it had finally risen to a heat level, if you were, that it warranted mentioning on this, the most listened to radio talk show in America. Now the AP, starting last night, has put out a story that I, essentially, am behind all this. Here, “The rumor that Michelle railed against,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, “was circulated on conservative Republican blogs for weeks and was repeated by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.” Well, once they put my name in the story, nobody else in the story matters. Listen to this. This morning on Channel 5, KTLA, the CW network in Los Angeles, the anchor Frank Buckley reading his teleprompter.
“The Obama campaign is fighting back against rumors and smears with a website, fightthesmears.com. It’s using the site to debunk a rumor that the candidate’s wife, Michelle, used the word “whitey” in a speech from the church pulpit. The rumor that Michelle Obama used the word in a diatribe at Trinity United Church of Christ has circulated on Republican blogs for weeks. It was repeated by talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The rumor included claims that there was a videotape of the speech. The campaign says no such tape exists.”
How old is this story? Obama denied this ten days ago or sometime last week. Obama denied this last week. All of a sudden I started noticing this last night on my RSS feeder. There must have been 35 newspapers last night which had the same AP story in it, so I got all 35 newspaper versions and some TV stations like this. I was last in line on this one. I was a nonfactor on this. But, what happens is, this is as far as the Drive-Bys are concerned, folks, and this is an example of the power of this program. When the Drive-Bys are looking at Republicans or conservatives to really nail us to the wall, until I mention it, it doesn’t matter. ‘Til I bring it up, it doesn’t exist. Well, I mean what the hell, I was last in line. Hannity was denying on the radio for days that he had the tape. Let’s go back. This is me on May 30th, and this is what I said about this.
“There are these rumors circulating — and I don’t know if this is true, but there are a number of people suggesting — and I first heard this, by the way, when I was gone Monday and Tuesday of last week.”
Okay, stop the tape, stop the tape. That would have May 14th and 15th or whatever when I was out there playing Torrey Pines, so the middle of May. That’s when I first heard this. What is it now? June the 12th. So this is about a month ago that I said this, and all of a sudden now this becomes front-page news, thanks to the AP and the Drive-By Media.
“And that the Republican Party supposedly has it now, of Michelle Obama speaking from the pulpit of this church talking about whitey. I don’t care if it’s unacceptable, Snerdley, I mean I’m just reporting what’s out there. I’m reporting on a rumor that is out there.”
You have the right to bear arms!
June 26, 2008
Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the majority (Kennedy, Thomas, Roberts and Alito). The “District of Columbia prohibition on the possession of usable handguns in the home violates the Second Amendment to the Constitution.”
This is a victory for the United States and our constitution! And we owe President George W. Bush a big thank you on this one. This would not have happened without Justice Sam Alito, his last appointment to the court.
Like I said yesterday, elections matter and it’s important who does the appointing to the Supreme Court. We will see what Senator Obama does about this today. He shocked everyone when he agreed with the conservatives judges over the child rape law. He is one record last year saying he believed the DC gun ban was constitutional, well we see another change in position… I can only imagine.
Key quotes from Justice Scalia and the majority:
“We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans.”
“the most natural reading of ‘keep Arms’ in the Second Amendment is to “have weapons.”
“The term was applied, then as now, to weapons that were not specifically designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity.”
“Putting all of these textual elements together, we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.”
“Thus, we do not read the Second Amendment to protect the right of citizens to carry arms for any sort of confrontation, just as we do not read the First Amendment to protect the right of citizens to speak for any purpose.”
“The prefatory clause does not suggest that preserving the militia was the only reason Americans valued the ancient right; most undoubtedly thought it even more important for self-defense and hunting.”
“It was plainly the understanding in the post-Civil War Congress that the Second Amendment protected an individual right to use arms for self-defense.”
“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.”
“Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”
“We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those ‘in common use at the time.’”

Obama disagrees with Supreme Court - Video
June 25, 2008
I stand corrected, in my previous post I assumed Senator Obama would agree and applaud the decision by the Supreme Court today. He actually disagrees!
And his argument makes complete sense. The Supreme Court left no room for judges to use discretion on individual cases. He virtually reaffirms Justice Alito’s opening paragraph of his dissent, that regardless of the nature of the crime, the death penalty is off the table as an option.
“This is so, according to the Court, no matter how young the child, no matter how many times the child is raped, no matter how many children the perpetrator rapes, no matter how sadistic the crime, no matter how much physical or psychological trauma is inflicted, and no matter how heinous the perpetrator’s prior criminal record may be.”
I am off to go look at the liberal blogs and message boards are saying. I’m very curious to what their reaction to their savior are going to be.
Updated - I went to Kos, DU, HoffPos and surprisingly most comments agree with Senator Obama and the conservative judges.
Child Rape and the Supreme Court
June 25, 2008“This session of the Supreme Court has been a winner for child rapists and terrorists.” - NBC News
The United States Supreme Court ruled today that “the death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child.” The ruling was a close 5-4 decision with Justice Kennedy joining the five liberal judges on the court. The eight amendment of the United States bill of rights protects citizens from “excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Today the Supreme Court ruled on the side of the child rapists. They agreed the death as a punishment is too harsh for raping a child.
This is why elections matter why it’s so important to vote for Senator John McCain this November. I have not read statements from either campaigns, but I would bet a lot of money that Senator Obama supports the decision and Senator McCain does not.
The Hot Air blog quotes from the dissent here:
‘Alito responding to Kennedy’s baseline nonsense that only murder is depraved enough to warrant the ultimate punishment. Citations omitted:
‘With respect to the question of moral depravity, is it really true that every person who is convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death is more morally depraved than every child rapist? Consider the following two cases. In the first, a defendant robs a convenience store and watches as his accomplice shoots the store owner. The defendant acts recklessly, but was not the triggerman and did not intend the killing. In the second case, a previously convicted child rapist kidnaps, repeatedly rapes, and tortures multiple child victims. Is it clear that the first defendant is more morally depraved than the second?
The Court’s decision here stands in stark contrast to Atkins and Roper, in which the Court concluded that characteristics of the affected defendants—mental retardation in Atkins and youth in Roper—diminished their culpability. Nor is this case comparable to Enmund v. Florida, 458 U. S. 782 (1982), in which the Court held that the Eighth Amendment prohibits the death penalty where the defendant participated in a robbery during which a murder was committed but did not personally intend for lethal force to be used. I have no doubt that, under the prevailing standards of our society, robbery, the crime that the petitioner in Enmund intended to commit, does not evidence the same degree of moral depravity as the brutal rape of a young child. Indeed, I have little doubt that, in the eyes of ordinary Americans, the very worst child rapists—predators who seek out and inflict serious physical and emotional injury on defenseless young children—are the epitome of moral depravity.’”

Barack Obama and the 95/10 plan
June 22, 2008Democrats for Life have a very interesting plan that they claim will end 95% of all abortions in 10 years. Democrat Presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama does not support this plan. He supports abortion as a right, every woman should have, regardless of the situation.
