The morning after...

I sit here, recollecting the events of last night.

A lot of heated things were said by conservatives- a lot of people, both young and old, are upset with last night's decision. It is understandable.


Here is what we are looking at.

Obama gets sworn in.
During his term he has the ability to select 2 Supreme Court Justices (who will all be to the like of Ruth Bader Ginsburg). These two new justices will easily be approved by the democratic majority congress (Though thank God they haven't hit the filibuster proof majority yet).

The Democrats will then have a majority in all 3 branches of Government. (so much for checks and balances - our forefathers would be proud of us!)

With a uniform legislative branch, and with no threat of veto from the Executive branch we are going to see liberal legislation after liberal legislation passed.

The new Supreme Court is going to start legislating from the bench- overruling many crucial cases, reaffirming Roe v. Wade, destroying everything Justices Roberts Scalia, and Thomas have accomplished. We will see an unprecedented wave of judicial activism. They will overturn the recent decision in the DC Handgun ban (District of Columbia v. Heller). They are going to undermine our police and military's abilities to do their jobs effectively and efficiently.

They are going to trample on the Constitution, piss on Old Glory and effectively destroy everything our nations founding fathers created.

I'm not going as far as to say horses will start eating each other, or the world is going to end in 2012, or any of that nonsense; but we are in for a drastic change over the next 4 years.

Obama claims to have brought unity to the country- a statement which could not be further from the truth. Read a few other entries in my blog- you will see that the nation is more divided than ever. And yet - he has the gall to quote Lincoln in his victory speech.


*sigh*

I hope I am wrong. I pray that I am wrong.


In 2010, during the midterm elections, America will wake up and realize what they have done, and the mistake they have made. In 2010 Republicans will take back Congress and being the healing process. I only pray that it is not too late.

The Tolerant Left

Throughout the past few days, I have been following horror stories. Not in the spirit of Halloween, but in the spirit of the upcoming election.

There are some sick people in this world, and for some reason the majority of them seem to be Obama supporting Democrats.

• Five McCain Campaign Workers are Assaulted with Mace
  
• Obama Supporters Firebomb a House for displaying a McCain Palin sign
  
• Gunshots fired at McCain/Palin bus in New Mexico
  
• Blatant Vandalism of McCain Supporter's Property (With Plenty of Pictures)
  
• Left plans to "shut down Washington" if McCain wins
  
  "If your television declares John McCain the president elect on the evening of November 4th, your television will be lying. You should immediately pick up your pre-packed bags and head straight to the White House in Washington, DC, which we will surround and shut down until this attempt at a third illegitimate presidency is reversed. We may be there for days or weeks or months. But we must be there. We must be there by the millions. We must show each other, and the nation, and the world that we have had enough, that we will not stand for one more stolen election, that we will not give in to fear, lies, theft, and intimidation." -- David Swanson, Washington director of Democrats.com and a board member of Progressive Democrats of America" - David Swanson, Director of Democrat.com and a board member of Progressive Democrats of America
  
  
• Florida Man's Home Shot up because he Displayed McCain/Palin signs out front
  
• Lets pretend to shoot Sarah Palin
  

"Ok…so what if next Tuesday, November 4th, we find that our hero Obama, hasn’t won? Well, given the fact that alot of niggas are gonna be at election parties (myself included), the plan is to get super throwed. The thought behind that is this…if he wins, i’ll be drunk on happiness, and if he loses, the loss won’t hurt so bad if i’m drunk. Part B of the plan is to convince a young lady to come back to the crib and watch CNN…one thing leads to another, and the next thing you know…its sunrise, I kicked ole girl out the crib, and I got a flag in my left hand…one can only hope, lol. So now, I wake up November 5th…to a whole new world, controlled by John McCombover, and i’m pissed. I go outside, and it’s like the A-Bomb hit…niggas are runnin all over the place rioting, and white people have barricaded their homes…if the crackers don’t wanna play fair, we’ll show that ass, lol.

Now i’m not callin for rioting by any means…but a nigga will participate. Its this leather jacket that i’ve been lookin at for the longest, so either way, imma get mine, lol. Niggas will riot if Obama wins or loses, so ya’ll need to be close to ya’ll favorite stores, in order to take advantage of the situation. Stuff like this only happens so often…niggas! I was still in the eighth grade when the OJ trial went down,and Akron ain’t really the place to be when it comes to rioting, because we got like two hip hop stores, and they right down the street from one another…plus they close to the donut spot…so its not really a good idea to try to put in that work. The Rodney King incident, I was young, and that was limited to the LA area…Watts, I was still an afterthought in my daddy’s nutsack at that point, so that doesn’t count either. But if Obama loses…thats a nationwide dilemma, so be prepared! Get ya duffle bags, ski masks, wave caps, all black timbs, and black locs ready, because you can clean up. White people…I don’t know what to say to ya’ll…but don’t go to work on November 5th if you work at the following establishments, which tend to employ or serve alot of negroes…Church’s, Popeye’s, KFC, McDonald’s, Walmart, Your Local Hip-Hop Store, Any Corner Store or Walgreen’s. White people, STAY AWAY from these establishments." - Promanant Black Democrat Blog

"Will black people riot? I should hope so, I plan to. If he doesn’t win I will be in San Francisco rioting for the first time in my life and I’ll be in DC shortly thereafter. I will riot, and strike, and protest and fight until the wrong has been undone." - Promanant Democrat Blog

And who could forget the group that attacked Palin's Motorcade

We are not dealing with everyday normal Americans anymore, and we haven't been for a long time. We are dealing with fanatics. Sure there are some on both sides, but the few and far in between outbursts from the right (which have generally been benign statements, without any action) can't hold a candle to what the left has been doing.

The part that scares me the most is the tacit approval coming from the Obama Camp. The only thing he has said related to the matter was his "get in their faces" statement. One can only question whether or not this is what he meant. But the fact that he has not publicly denounced any of this is a very scary thing.

 Replicated from This List

Sarah Palin is a ...

From the party that preaches tolerance, embraces feminism, and hides behind freedom of speech (unless of course it offends someone, except for Sarah Palin (and potentially women everywhere)) I give you four (4) Obama supporters outside of a rally in Philadelphia wearing tee shirts stating "Sarah Palin is a C*nt"

Where is the media on this? I can only shudder to think what would happen if any white person (let alone a McCain supporter) wore a shirt that said "Obama is a ..." (and you can fill that in with anything you like- it wouldn't make a difference to them, you would be crucified regardless)

"Sexism and misogyny are ignored, but any criticism of Obama is blasphemy."


Double Standard much?


Where are the femminists on this? Where are the Hillary supporters? One cannot just sit idly by and let this go unnoticed and unpunished.

More Obama Ayers Connections

I think anyone considering voting for should at least do themselves the courtesy of reading about the terror his friend spread in the 1960's. Yes, Obama was eight when Bill Ayers organization did these terrible deeds. But Barack was an adult when he decided to befriend him, and keep in mind - Senator Obama's political career was launched in this man's living room.

I ask that this information be passed along to not only likeminded friends, but anyone who is considering voting for this man- as he surely will give his old pal a cabinet position. Do we really want a man responsible for blowing up the pentagon to have unrestricted access to government buildings?


The true measure of a man is the company he keeps, keep that in mind this November.

Update- Even CNN is starting to cover this, its not just FOX anymore:

Obama's Hitler Youth

Remind anyone of the Hitler Youth? Because that's the first thing I thought of (well, that and fat camp).

But seriously - this chilled my blood and sent shivers down my spine.

Its one thing to be singing for him:





...but having a bunch of kids dressed in pseudo-military garb behaving in such a manner - how can one not be afraid.

I'm not even going to comment much on this one- the videos speak for themselves.

Beware overly charismatic men who preach change...

McCain not only predicted, but tried to prevent the fallout from Freddie/Fanny

McCain Warned us about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2005

Link directly to the bill

He stood up and spoke before Senate for a bill that might have gone a long way to helping with the problems of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, of course that bill died. But he did take a stand. Of course it would be of interest to research the bill and find out just who killed it.

Right now there's a lot of speculation about the Democrats killing it though in my research I have not come across that. It appears that McCain co sponsored this bill at first then it went on and was rolled into S. 1100 Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2007, at which pint McCain is no longer in the picture on this bill.

The previous bill was:
S. 190 [109th]: Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005; link below:

Link 1

Link 2

Current status:

"This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced bills go first to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills never make it out of committee. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. [Last Updated: Aug 30, 2008]"

"Apr 12, 2007: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs."

So there you have it the full and complete history of What McCain was speaking about. I would imagine that the truth lies somewhere about where I guessed it above. More than likely the Bill's author Sen. Charles Hagel went to McCain and asked him to speak to the floor and co-sponsor this bill at which point it never went anywhere (no doubt due to changes that were needed in the bill) It was later changed and rolled into the later bill for congress S. 1100 this time without McCain on it but with the other co sponsors still on board.



I might add here that this was a Republican bill and that the Republican party at least saw there was a problem.

In related news- OpenSecrets.org has shed some light on who Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were contributing to (since 1989):



1. Dodd, Christopher J (D-CT) - $133,900
2. Kerry, John (D-MA) - $111,000
3. Obama, Barack (D-IL) - $105,849
4. Clinton, Hillary (D-NY) - $75,550
5. Kanjorski, Paul E (D-PA) - $65,500

It was later brought to my attention that Senator Obama actually has surpassed Senator Kerry and now holds the number 2 spot

Wait - he has only been in the senate for a few years now- yet he managed to get to the second highest donations? Something smells fishy here.

Also related: Senator Obama didn't even know the name of AIG, the company who is currently receiving $85 Billion from the government as of late. He was very quick to criticize the bill bailing them out, but didn't know their name.

Obama is pro-killing newborns

From: The Dakota Voice

I had to read this article twice, because I almost didn’t believe it at first, but it’s true.


In Illinois it basically says that babies that were meant to be aborted but survive can be taken to a separate room where they are left to die.

As per Illinois law, they are issued both a Birth AND Death Certificate.

No matter what side of the political spectrum you lean on, or what your views on abortion are, this is murder.

And guess who voted against making this practice illegal when he was in office? That’s right ladies and gentlemen. You’re very own Barrack Obama.

This makes me sick.


Below are some quotes and excerpts:

Douglas Johnson, NRLC spokesman, explains: "Newly obtained documents prove that in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion - even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language…explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion."

Jill Stanek was a nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois in 1999 when she discovered that babies born alive after failed abortions purposely were being left to die in the "soiled utility room," which, says Stanek, is a room where biohazard materials and soiled linens are disposed of.


"That's where nursing staff took these babies and left them to die."


She continues:

"Christ hospital - and we now know other hospitals and clinics around the country - are involved in an abortion procedure called 'induced labor abortion,'" says Stanek in the video, entitled "Kill and Destroy". In this type of abortion, she says, the abortionist inserts a medication into the birth canal of the mother and induces premature labor.


"My experience was that they [the babies] survive as short as a few minutes, to once, almost as long as an eight hour shift.


"To be clear these were living babies who were left out to die. And they were issued both birth and death certificates according to Illinois state law."


Stanek relates the story of how one night she saw a nurse bringing a baby to the soiled utility room to die, because the parents of the child did not want to hold it. The other nurse also did not have the time to hold the child. "When she told me what she was doing I couldn't bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone," says Stanek. "And so I cradled and rocked him for the forty-five minutes that he lived."

If anyone can watch the following video and still vote for this man, I fear there is no hope left for humanity, let alone America.

Again, I cannot express how much this makes me sick.


If this was being done to animals, PETA would have a field day. If this was being done to refugees, the UN and the rest of the world would have a field day.

But here in America, we are going to potentially elect a man who saw nothing wrong with this practice to the highest elected office in the free world.

There is something terribly wrong here.

UPDATE:

Thanks to jabberwolf on Digg for looking further into this for us:

"Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA). The BAIPA was a two-paragraph bill intended to clarify that any baby who is entirely expelled from his or her mother, and who shows any signs of life, is to be regarded as a legal "person" for all federal law purposes, whether or not the baby was born during an attempted abortion.

in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion - even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language…explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion."

In 2002, the bill was enacted, after a "neutrality clause" was added to explicitly state that the bill expressed no judgment, in either direction, about the legal status of a human prior to live birth. The bill passed without a dissenting vote in either house of Congress.
(To view the final federal BAIPA as enacted, http://www.nrlc.org/ObamaBAIPA/BAIPAFederal.pdf)
Meanwhile, Barack Obama, as a member of the Illinois State Senate, actively opposed a state version of the BAIPA during three successive regular legislative sessions. His opposition to the state legislation continued into 2003 - even after NARAL had withdrawn its initial opposition to the federal bill, and after the final federal bill had been enacted in August 2002.

But
Obama countered this charge by claiming that he had opposed the state BAIPA because it lacked the pre-birth neutrality clause that had been added to the federal bill.

BUT BUT....

The documents prove that in March 2003, state Senator Obama, then the chairman of the Illinois state Senate Health and Human Services Committee, presided over a committee meeting in which the "neutrality clause" (copied verbatim from the federal bill) was added to the state BAIPA, with Obama voting in support of adding the revision. Yet, immediately afterwards, Obama led the committee Democrats in voting against the amended bill, and it was killed, 6-4.


So yes this is true that Obama is for letting new born babies die."

We paid for her scholarship - Michelle Obama's Racism

An email that has been going around - definately worth a read. The information within has been confirmed by Snopes.

In short - Michelle Obama has been quoted saying things like "There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost", and using terms like "seperationist" to describe herself and other black students. She "hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility."

Does this sound like someone who wants to bring cultures and races together? I think not. Does this sound like someone who we would want as first lady in our White House? I think not.

The Original Message:



According to Snopes.com, Princeton was requested to put a 'restriction' on distribution of any copies of the thesis of Michelle Obama (a/k/a/ Michelle laVaughn Robinson) saying it could not be made available until November 5, 2008 but when it was published on a political website they decided they would lift the restriction.

In her senior thesis at Princeton , Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on 'crime and hatred'. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were 'ineradicably racist'. The 1985 thesis, titled 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community' was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson. Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to 'Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first...' However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, 'If those 'Whites at Princeton ' really saw Michelle as one who always would 'be Black first,' it seems that she gave them that impression'.

Most alarming is Michele Obama's use of the terms 'separationist' and 'integrationist' when describing the views of black people. Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a 'separationist' view of race. 'By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation
of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.' Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her 'further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full
participant.'


Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder. Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black over white in her world.

Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning: 'There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.'

What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she's first lady that will elevate black over white in America? The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration. 'Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.'

The conclusion of her thesis is alarming. Michelle Obama's poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin. 'I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of
identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.'

Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input. Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another. The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama's thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism. This is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.

Michelle Obama's intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern. Now maybe she's changed, but she sure sounds like someone with an axe to grind with America . Will the press let Michelle get a free pass over her obviously racist comment about American whites? I am sure that it will.

Obama's Experience

"He has only been a Senator for 18 months. But with all the recesses, four day weekends, campaigning and absences, Obama has only spent about 6 weeks of workdays on the Senate floor as one of the most junior Senators. Most of his votes, about 80% when he was not absent, have been "present" or "abstain". He also chairs a committee that has never met because the chairman has never called a meeting. As a trial lawyer he only tried 14 cases in court - and minor ones at that. As a "community organizer" his major cause was getting the asbestos out of a housing project. After 2 years of trying the asbestos was still there when he left and is still there even now that he is a Senator and presumably has some pull to get things done.


That's it. His entire real world work resume. 6 weeks work in the Senate with nothing to show for it. Two years as a lawyer and only 14 minor trials. And two years as a "community organizer" with nothing accomplished."

Let's see what we have on McCain:

He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1982, and then the Senate in '86, several decades prior to Obama. McCain also has several years of not only military service, but military leadership under his belt, to which he was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross. Obama has not served his country overseas, and most certainly did not lose several years of his life away from his family and country while doing so.

Based solely on experience and merit - How can anyone still support Obama?

Shall we look to the voting record then?

Here is a sample - Source

110th Congressional Approval Rating Falls to Single Digits

Rasmussen Reports - Congressional Performance

For the first time ever, in recorded history, the US Congress has fallen to a single digit approval rating. Coming in this month at a measly 9%, the 110th Congress has been doing the worst job in the history of all 110 Congressional congregations.

Not only has the approval rating fallen, but the percentage of American voters who say Congress is doing a Poor job has risen to the majority (at 52%).

Can they truly blame Bush for everything still? Not really, but they sure as hell will try. Meanwhile if you look to the facts - Bush has accomplished the majority of things he promised to do during his presidency. Congress has accomplished none of theirs. They have made little to no effort to do what they spend the majority of their time "discussing" - how to pull us out of Iraq.

Since this congress took control in 2006:

• Gas Prices have more than doubled and risen to over $4 a gallon
  
• Our Troops are still overseas in an "unconstitutional war" (according to them)
  
• The housing crisis is still in full effect
  
• Illegal immigration is still a huge problem
  

While Bush was in power:

There has not been a single terrorist attack on American soil since September 11th, 2001

I think America has a deluded sense of who is doing something right and who is doing something wrong, but clearly given this month's approval rating they are finally wising up.
