The Barack Obama Presidency

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

First, cogratulations to Barack Obama.

I have read a lot of stuff since the election has eneded and I have come to a few conclusions.

1.  Barack Obama will fail as president.  Not because anything he will do, although it is possible, but it will be because Mr Hussein is not black.  He is half black.

Now that, in the eyes of a majority of Americans, a Black man has been elected president, black people cannot be victims any longer, at least until Barry fails to deliver on his promises.  Look at Obama’s history.  He never had a father, was raised by his grandparents, moved around a great deal; his upbringing seems like a stereotypical black community upbringing, at least from this typical white person’s point of view.

So what went right?  Here is your seemingly average black guy with a rough childhood, drug use and everything, went to Columbia in New York, was a successful community organizer, went to Harvard where he was editor of the Law Review  and graduated Magnu Cum Laude, and the rest is history.  Barry is truly a guy who pulled himself up out of the slums and is now the most powerful man in the free world.  There was no affirmative action here, he is just a smart guy who made the right decisions in the right places at the right time with the right people.

So what is holding all the other black people back?  With Obama’s example, why do we need affirmative action that aknowledes blacks are inferior and need a leg up? We don’t.   Black people are holding black people back.  

Maybe it is because Barry is half white, and that is why he succeded? 

Look at what alot of blacks are saying in the news.  They beleive the Mr. Hussein is going to fill their gas tanks, pay their mortgages, pay their bills and overall take care of them.  When Barry doesn’t deliver what are they going to say?

The next time a black person tries to be a victim and says “whitey is keeping me down” all we have to do is point a finger at Barry and say, “Umm, no we aren’t, look at Obama.”  We will be able to do this for the rest of America’s recorded history.

Now then, the Black’s victim status isn’t going to go away overnight.  As soon as their victim plea fails they are going to grasp at straws trying to still play the victim.  What is going to redeem them (in their minds at least)?  Obama is half white.

Once Obama fails to deliver on his promises and now that the evil race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are out of a job and won’t be able to blame all their problems on white people, they will turn on Barry and decry him for being half white.  That is my perspecitve.

 

2.  Lets stick a knife in the current Republican Party.

I think Jesus himself could have run as a Republican and lost.  The Republican party moved to the left starting in around 2004 and with this election and the ‘06 election they paid for it.  More people voted against George Bush in this election than they did for Barack Obama.  That was Barry’s campaign theme, not another 4 years of failed republican policies.  When all the opposing party has to do is point out your failures and spends almost no time running on their mertis and wins the election you are doing something terribly wrong.

We have 4 years to fix it.  We have to put true consercatives in place of the filty neo-con rats.  Hopefully we can find some by 2010, because I think a lot of Americans are going to be hungry for change after the Hammer and Cycle are flying above the white house and all they have left in their pockets is change.

3.  Obama supporters are stupid.

In a discussion with one guy I was called a nazi and he couldn’t wait for Obama to take my guns away.  I was stunned and the incongruity of that statement.  Obama supporters aren’t going to happy with what they got.

 

Why I Don’t Post Anything

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Originally this blog was started to defend America’s efforts in Iraq and our leaders who started everything over there.  Despite what exteme leftists might say, things are going great in Iraq and every day grows closer and closer to a time when a large force of troops isn’t needed there.  The war is drawing to a close.

Also, Democrat leaders conceded a great deal of talking points in the whole “Bush lied” meme.  The Rockefeller report outlines all of the “Bush lied to get us into war” statements and concludes what everyone already knew: That the intelligence at the time reflected what Bush was telling congress and the American people.

This blog isn’t a news resource for Amarillo or any kind of revenue generating entity.  Since 2004 nothing has happened in Amarillo than anyone outside of it cares about and sitting around here waiting for stuff to happen is boring.  In other words, I have better stuff to worry about than coving a potential news event.

This blog has primarily been about my opinion, cataloging it, and sharing it.  I refence this place as my knowledge base to rebut liberal buffoons constantly.

The only thing left to post about is the upcoming election and other stuff that happens that I care about.  Right now all I care about is shooting, hunting, and earning enough money to be able to thoughroughly enjoy my time off of work.   As such, I post very little.  Politics concerns me little, especially after the Heller decision, and with Palin as McCain’s pick for VP, I doubt BO is going to get very far, especially after the unscripted debates when Johnny tears BO’s stuttering self a new asshole.

I will be there to gloat on November 5th to gloat or, to blog anew making sure every Democrat hears constantly about Biden’s 5 deferrments and talking extensively about any slip up BO makes to make him look stupid, doing to them what they have done to us.  Yes, very shallow I agree, but I am not above it.  As I have said elsewhere, someone must be willing to play in the mud with the filth if good is to triumpth.

Two Face

Friday, June 27th, 2008

One of my favorie movies growing up was the original Batman film with Michael Keaton.  In this particular incantation of the Batman franchise the character Harvey Dent is played by Billy Dee Williams, famous for his role as Lando Calrissian.

In all of the fictional series Harvey Dent is Gotham City’s district attorney.  Afte being burned by acid Harvey has a physchotic breakdown and is criminal known as Two Face.

Yesterday the Supreme court affirmed DC vs Heller, a monumentous decision that solidifies the individual right to bear arms.  Given the election year Obama and McCain offered their thoughts.

What does Two Face have to do with this?  Well, after I watched the following video, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the fictional character in his Billy Dee William’s portrayed form, a prominent attorney turned evil.

Honesty is the Best Policy

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

The general election has started, finally.  My hopes were met now that Hillary Clinton has lost and the Clinton hegemony is permanently a thing of the past and will soon be followed by the Kennedy hegemony.

I am elated that, one way or another, America is heading for a new frontier.  For example, scinece is getting better and better every day.  I particularly like statistics myself.  Studies such as this:

Is it OK to cheat on your taxes? A total of 57 percent of those who described themselves as “very liberal” said yes in response to the World Values Survey, compared with only 20 percent of those who are “very conservative.” When Pew Research asked whether it was “morally wrong” to cheat Uncle Sam, 86 percent of conservatives agreed, compared with only 68 percent of liberals.

Ponder this scenario, offered by the National Cultural Values Survey: “You lose your job. Your friend’s company is looking for someone to do temporary work. They are willing to pay the person in cash to avoid taxes and allow the person to still collect unemployment. What would you do?”

Almost half, or 49 percent, of self-described progressives would go along with the scheme, but only 21 percent of conservatives said they would.

When the World Values Survey asked a similar question, the results were largely the same: Those who were very liberal were much more likely to say it was all right to get welfare benefits you didn’t deserve.

The World Values Survey found that those on the left were also much more likely to say it is OK to buy goods that you know are stolen. Studies have also found that those on the left were more likely to say it was OK to drink a can of soda in a store without paying for it and to avoid the truth while negotiating the price of a car.

Another survey by Barna Research found that political liberals were two and a half times more likely to say that they illegally download or trade music for free on the Internet.

A study by professors published in the American Taxation Association’s Journal of Legal Tax Research found conservative students took the issue of accounting scandals and tax evasion more seriously than their fellow liberal students. Those with a “liberal outlook” who “reject the idea of absolute truth” were more accepting of cheating at school, according to another study, involving 291 students and published in the Journal of Education for Business.

A study in the Journal of Business Ethics involving 392 college students found that stronger beliefs toward “conservatism” translated into “higher levels of ethical values.” And academics concluded in the Journal of Psychology that there was a link between “political liberalism” and “lying in your own self-interest,” based on a study involving 156 adults.

Liberals were more willing to “let others take the blame” for their own ethical lapses, “copy a published article” and pass it off as their own, and were more accepting of “cheating on an exam,” according to still another study in the Journal of Business Ethics.

To me, science like that makes me feel all warm inside.

The Obommunists are celebrating wildly now that Obama has secured the nomination.  I am have previously been torn on this situation for two reasons.  One is, I don’t like McCain very much.  The second reason is that the abomination of an Obama presidency combined with a Democrat congress will handily ensure a 1984 come 2012.  I must admit that prospect is very tempting, but I find any harm to my fellow Americans for political gain very loathsome.  If the second reason comes to pass then I will be very sad, but my conscience will be clean in knowing that I had no hand in ushering in an era of increased and damaging social policies.

I realize that leftists could say the same about me supporting Bush’s policies for the past 8 years and I will probably concede to a lot of their critisicms.  However, we as a nation must realize that the fruits of our labor during the Bush administration may not come to pass for quite a while.  That is not to say that everything Bush has done has been for the better, far from it, but the opposite is false as well.

Change is inevitable.  I will continue in another post.

Obommunists and Obommunism

Friday, April 11th, 2008

I can’t take credit for coining these terms.  A person at another website I frequent did.

What is Obommunism? Barack Obama led communism, of course.  Who are obommunists?  Followers of Barack Obama of course.

Update:  I wanted to add this yesterday, but the source for the comments was blogger at the Huffington Post.  I wanted to wait until this stuff was carried by a real news organization before I put it up here. Here is the original source.

Newsbusters puts it into perspective better than I can:

Religion is the opiate of the masses. — Karl Marx, 1843

It’s not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to . . . religion . . . as a way to explain their frustrations. — Barack Obama, 2008

Has anyone else pointed out the striking similarity between Barack Obama’s recent statement about tough economic times driving people to religion and that of another person who preached change: Karl Marx?

Obama added guns and xenophobia to his list of proletarian elixirs for bitterness. But the fundamental point remains: Barack apparently doesn’t take religion, his own or anyone else’s, too seriously. It’s not a search for truth or an attempt to live in accordance with God’s word. It’s just a way to get by, a stupefacient that helps proles endure the pain of living in an economy unfairly dominated by the “haves.” Karl would concur.

So there you have it.  The newsbusters link has another bit about one of BO’s mentors being a “noted member of the Communist Party USA.”

Michelle Obama said the other day about universal healthcare:

“If we don’t wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership…for how we want this country to work, then we won’t get universal health care,” she said.

“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”

Things like the above just scratch the surface of not only what Obomunism is all about, but the Democratic party as well.  It all boils down to, “The government (Democrat controlled that is) knows what is best for you.”

Don’t be fooled by a liberal telling you otherwise.  Actions speak louder than words and liberals talk out of both sides of their mouths.  From one side they will say they are about personal freedoms, civil rights, and equality for all.  Out of the other side they support policies  and policy makers that seek to control how you live your life and squash opposing opinions (Fairness doctrine).

Another example is liberals talking out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to “fear mongering.”  They will denounce the Bush Administration for using fear mongering to get support for Operation Iraqi freedom, but out of the other side of their mouths they talk about the despair brought about by “Climate Change” or “Global Warming.”

My solution, short of voting for the candidate that opposes these ideals (notice I didn’t say McCain), is to reject liberal principles at every turn.

Obama the Communist

The above picture is of the Cuban flag with Che Guevera imposed over the right side.  This flag is found in Barack Obama’s Houston campaign hedquarters as evidenced in this video.

And how could we ever forget the whole “Hand over the heart” fiasco?

Obama Analysis

Monday, February 11th, 2008

While browsing our local blogosphere I discovered a large movement in Amarillo “metroplex” that supports Barack Obama.  Curious to see who these people were I sought out thier information on Barack’s website.  The largest group is “Amarillo Texas for Obama!!!”

Everyone who is associated with the group has a profile that lists where they live, birthdate, whether or not they are registered to vote, why they support Obama, and what issues they care about.  Everyone of the 15 or so profiles of Amarillo area persons I clicked on cares about civil rights or civil liberties.  Being that a vast majority of Democrat’s agenda is to thwart civil liberties I was curious how all of these people could care so much about the civil rights issue and support someone like Barack Obama, so I did some research on the guy.

I haven’t given two thoughts about Barack until I read about a rally here in Amarillo, so I know very little about him.  There isn’t much to know about person’s aligned with the Democratic party.  I went to On The Issues.org to find out what his positions were. 

Most curious is Barack’s support of the Patriot Act.  If you recall, every time a democrat moans about civil liberties it has to do with the Patriot Act, warrantless wiretaps, or something about Gitmo.  What kind of logic allows these people to say they care about civil liberties and then support someone who voted to curtail civil liberties by voting for the Patriot Act?  I am guessing it is a total lack of logic.

Furthermore, Barack’s record on supporting the 2nd ammendment is attrocious.  There is another civil liberty that local supporters say they care about but their leader doesn’t.

Despite denying it Obama has supported a single payer healthcare system, that is to say he supports nationalized healthcare, be it controlling insurance companies or the gov footing the bill.  Without getting into the costs of such a farce and considering some of the other positions Obama has we can easily see that this violates several civil liberties. 

Obama supports banning smoking and the government doing something about obesity on the basis of supporting his nationalized healthcare agenda.  The gov would regulate smoking and eateries across the nation in an effort to keep all citizens healthy.  How is this going to be accomplished?  Are they going to do like they tried in Missouri to tell restaurants that they can’t serve food to fat people?

How transparent is it that Obama cares about civil rights?  I could right a book on all the exploits the democrats have done to subvert civil rights.  Woops, someone beat me to it.

 Read the above linked page about Obama on the issues.  I will never support him for several reasons, primarily his stance on the 2nd Ammendment, but also his support for partial birth abortions and his subversion of the war effort.

On the above linked pages the local Obama supporters talk about a rally they recently had to shout at passing cars.  They say they are going to do it again and I am sure the event will show up on the Obama website.  I just may show up with the following sign:

Obama Supports
Partial Birth Abortion

McCain and Huckabee as Eurasia and Eastasia

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

For weeks, if not months, Republican pundits in general, and conservative talk radio hosts in particular, have been excoriating John McCain and Mike Huckabee as The Enemy – Republicans In Name Only (RINO’s) who will destroy the Grand Old Party, desecrate the grave of Ronald Reagan, and leave us worse off than if a Democrat occupied the White House.  Mitt Romney, we were told, was the one True Conservative in the race.

In recent weeks, as Huckabee’s prospects began to wane following his loss (albeit close) to McCain in South Carolina, the venom was spared on the former governor of Arkansas and concentrated on the senior senator from Arizona.  Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin were continually reminding their listeners how many times McCain had stuck his finger in the collective eye of conservatives and how he voted not once but twice against the Bush tax cuts.

Then came Super Tuesday.  Despite these marching orders, McCain fared well, as did the once moribund Huckabee, and Romney didn’t do nearly as well as expected.  “It was Huckabee’s fault,” said the pundits.  “He took conservative votes away from the True Conservative.”  (“Wait a second, I thought Huckabee was a liberal?”  “Shut up, that was last month!”)  Not to worry, though; Romney pledged he would stay in the race.

Two days later the True Conservative and the Arch Liberal were to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).  But Romney, always the consummate businessman, looked at the Return on Investment (ROI for you business types) of his latest capital venture (buying the White House) and, not having learned at Harvard Business School how to run a campaign on a shoestring like Huckabee, decided to cut his losses (technically “suspend” his losses).

Now it was up to the Arch Liberal to make nice with those same conservatives who had been villifying him for all these months.  Lo and behold, will wonders never cease – they started to buy it. According to a newsmax.com article by Ron Kessler entitled Conservatives Ready to Support McCain, Washington Insider Kessler intimated that he “talked with dozens of conservative leaders after McCain’s talk, and every one of them thought the Arizona senator sounded the right notes in his speech and said they felt inclined to support him.”  Miraculously, McCain, who just days before drove Ann Coulter into Hillary Clinton’s camp, was now acceptable to conservative elites.  The metamorphasis was complete:  Arch Liberal became Inevitable Nominee.

But the rank and file didn’t get the memo in time.  In the Kansas caucuses on Saturday, 60 percent of participating Republicans voted for Huckabee – the candidate that had allegedly taken conservative votes away from the True Conservative on Super Tuesday.  That same liberal (er, conservative, er liberal) also won the popular vote in the Louisiana primary.  And in Washington State, vote counting was suspended at only 87% with Huckabee trailing the Inevitable Nominee by only 2 percentage points.  Finally, on Sunday afternoon, the Associated Press declared McCain the winner.  One out of three – not very impressive for the Inevitable Nominee.

UPDATE:  As of Sunday evening, the remaining 13% of the vote in Washington State still hasn’t been counted, and the spread between McCain and Huckabee is only about 200 votes.  There’s quite a bit of pressure to count all the votes, although you’d never know it listening to the mainstream media.

In George Orwell’s novel Nineteen-Eighty Four, Big Brother constantly attacked Eurasia as The Enemy of Oceania until one day, everyone woke up and the other superpower, Eastasia, suddenly held that distinction.  From that point on, all “two minute Hate” was directed not at Eurasia, but rather at Eastasia, as if the previous conflict had never existed.  It will be very interesting to see what conservative talk radio hosts will be saying on Monday.  When they resume their relentless attacks on Huckabee, will anyone remember that the Inevitable Nominee was the Arch Liberal just a few days before?  We’ll see on Tuesday in Virginia whether the New Truth has taken hold in time.

My Opinon on The Current Policial Climate, SuperFat Tuesday 2008

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I have obstained from posting for a number of reasons, mainly my heart hasn’t been in it, but recently I find myself energized as the election draw nearer.  My mind wanders down many paths as I ponder the direction of the nation in coming years.  What has been on my mind the most is the vast divisiveness that is befowling mainstream conservatives.

I don’t turn to the pundits to get my knowledge on the different candidates, I seek it out through many sources, collect that knowledge and review.  However, I do include the various pundits out there in my research because I am curious what they are thinking about different candidates and issues and how they came to their conclusions.  Recently all I hear from the mainstream conservatives is denouncing Huckabee and McCain and backing Mitt Romney.  I am not upset they would back Romney, but I am upset that they would vote for a democrat before they would vote for McCain.  Huckabee, unfortunately, seems to be a non-issue, although I would be elated if that changed today.

All this talk about McCain got me thinking what was so terrible about him, so I looked some stuff up about him and listed to what all the pundits had to say.  I came to the conclusion that McCain isn’t that bad a guy (he certainly isn’t conservative) and that if the people select him as the republican nominee then so be it, I will vote for him.

Michael Medved has made some very good points about McCain.  A caller called into his show and said something along the lines, “Well McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts.”  That is a line that alot of the other pundits have used to denounce McCain, but none of them elaborate on the issue.  Medved retorts, “Well, true he did do that, but did you bother to see why?” usually the response is stuttering, but Medved continues, “McCain said that he voted against the tax cuts because they weren’t coupled with cuts in spending.  Furthermore, if you are so worried about what happen 6 years ago, why are you not denouncing Romney for 6 years ago being Pro-Abortion, Anti-gun, and endorsing nationalized health care?”

Medved also has a great response about McCain shortcomings on the Illegal-Immigration issues.  A caller will say they can’t support McCain because of “Amnesty” and the Medved will ask the caller if they supported Ronald Raegan.  The caller will reply “of course” and then Medved will slam them with the fact that Raegan granted amnesty to millions of illegals in ‘86.  The calle shuts up pretty quick.

Now then, my point isn’t to go issue by issue and expound on why one candidate is betther than the other and why you should vote for X over Y because of Z.  My point is that a lot of people out there aren’t seeking the facts about the issues and they are reacting very rashly to McCain by saying they won’t vote for him.

If they don’t want to vote for him in the primary, that is great, I hope they vote for Huckabee.  I can’t vote for Romney because he will sign another assault weapons ban and given that I still have other choices I will vote for Huckabee in the primary in March if he is still in it and McCain over Romney if not.

But what if the general election comes down to McCain VS Obama or Hllary?  Alot of conservatives out there have said they would vote for democrats before they voted for McCain.  To think that any rational thinking person would put their party before they put America is sickening.

If the conservatives wanted a better candidate, why weren’t they talking up Fred Thompson a whole hell of a lot more?  George W Bush has done a great number of un-conservative things for the past 7 years, McCain would surely be more of the same with a few differences, but mainstream conservatives wait till now to get pissed about not having a candidate that represents their ideology?  Get real!

My solution, unfortunately, suck it up and vote for McCain.  Given the possibility that some supreme court judges could retire I would rather have the judges that McCain picks over the ones that Hillary or Obama picks.  Those picks could shape the nation for 20 years or more and we would best be served by a greater chance of having conservatives judges up there.

Talk Radio and Unintended Consequences

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

It’s no secret to anyone who frequents this blog that I’m supporting Mike Huckabee for President.  It’s also no secret to anyone who listens to talk radio that there are virtually no conservative talk show hosts who do.  On the contrary, many of them are openly trying to derail his candidacy.  I stopped listening to Mark Levin on my evening commute for that very reason.  Every time I turned on his show, it seemed like a non-stop barrage about bad Mike Huckabee and John McCain are for the Republican Party.  From what I’ve heard, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are hardly any better, although I haven’t been listening to them much lately either.

Are these relentless attacks on Huckabee having the desired effect?  Not for at least one other erstwhile listener.  I discovered this comment posted on a Reuters article about Huckabee gaining on Giuliani in the California race (posted by d_sh9456 on December 20, 2007, 7:32 PM):

“For the first time I have moved away from the conservative ‘Dark Side’ and now support Mike Huckabee for President. Just too many power hungry conservative Talk Show Hosts supporting the Wall Street Power Brokers and their candidates. Mike Huckabee has single handedly moved the election system into the light for all true conservatives and Americans by removing the ‘For Sale’ sign from Washington DC.”

I’m old enough to remember 20 years ago when Rush Limbaugh first went national. The immediate appeal of his show was not that he was telling people how to think, but rather that he was articulating the same perspective that so many of us already held but had never heard anyone voice before in the national media. We listened to him because he was one of us. The media elites eventually realized they could make a bundle of money by replicating his formula, and scores of Rush Limbaugh wannabes hit the airwaves.

Now fast forward to 2008. Along comes a presidential candidate who isn’t driven by focus groups or forced into the cookie-cutter Madison Avenue mold of what a presidential candidate should be like. The elites aren’t supporting him because he refuses to kowtow to them. He offers a tax proposal that would reward productivity but rob them of their precious tax shelters. His faith is not just a prop to gain the evangelical vote; he really believes. He cares more for the people on Main Street than the people on Wall Street. In short, Mike Huckabee speaks to so many of us because, like Rush two decades earlier, he’s saying what we believe at a time when everyone else is telling us that what we believe doesn’t matter.

I suspect that many, if not most, of the conservative talk show hosts will continue to attack Mike Huckabee until he either drops out of the race or surprises them all and wins the nomination. But the unintended consequence may be this: How many of us will still be listening?
