After all, thanks to the Republicans and their policies, the guy working at Wal-Mart could sure use someone in office that will work to bring better jobs to America, reduce inflation and unemployment, quit bailing out financial institutions, clamp down on wealthy individuals that evade paying their taxes, protect people against predatory lenders, etc. Of course, all the unemployed could probably use even more help to come up with the money needed to fund all the increases in government payrolls since the Republicans took charge. Then again, if you cannot afford to pay those ever increasing property taxes, what business do you have owning a house or land. You should apply for the governors [of Georgia] job — as a Republican, of course — if you don’t want to pay property taxes.

Perhaps you should tell us how you can be sure that Obama did not get admission to Harvard through affirmative action.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that affirmative action may be used in university admissions. Therefore any black student or minority student MAY have been chosen under that “action”.

I do not think that Harvard or any other university would indicate whom was chosen on such a basis. Therefore ALL minorities are sometimes judged (suspect) as admitted on less rigid qualifications than required for the majority. Sometimes true and sometimes not, it is still a common assumption.

I doubt that Obama needed affirmative action since he graduated with highest honors from Harvard. But I believe his own book indicates that he was not a serious student in High School because he drank so much.. But I have not read his book so that may be incorrect. It does not make him sound like a well rounded student fit for Harvard’s high standards. But he was admitted.

Was it by affirmative action? We will never know.

The Bakke Case and others show why affirmative action is still controversial even though that action was promoted with good intentions.

GEORGIANS FORCED TO CLEAN STREET - Russian troops and their allies forced Georgian men at gunpoint to clean the streets of South Ossetia’s bombed-out capital Saturday, avenging Georgia’s attack on the breakaway province a week ago. It appeared to be the first sign of abuse of Georgians in the Russian-controlled province.-AP/Urinal

Aahhh, yes, of course there are no issues from the drive bys with Russian soldiers forcing Georgians to labor under gunoint, it isn’t like the Americans are doing these things, then there would be hell to pay.

But since it is not the United States “committing atrocities,” we hear from the true Pinko Nation, apologists for the Hitlers and Pol Pots of our time.

~~~~~

So what do you think the first response from the “hate American power” crowd would be concerning Russia’s invasion of Georgia-

Let’s hope Americans who still believe we can bend the world to our will are paying attention. The Chinese glitter and the Russian guns of August should have reinforced a lesson: Even if the United States remains the world’s lone superpower, it is a significantly diminished one, first among near-equals. We no longer stand astride the globe. Our bluff and bluster aren’t as frightening as we might think.-Queen Pinko, Urinal/Jihad

These^^ are the kinds of things that grade school children write.

There is no doubt that Russia is going to lose this in the most major way, as orchestrated by the United States and as implemented by all of the world, so yes, talk crap about America while the opportunity is ripe, you archaic socialist doomsayers.

The United States could begin an all out air assault on Russian forces in Georgia and within just a few hours time the Russians would be forced to withdraw, if they were not completely annihilated.

Is this what you libs want?

Are you willing to risk nuclear retaliation from Russia?

So then do tell us, pinko, what are you suggesting we do?

Maybe gather world leaders together, open diplomatic channels, create a plan for economic sanctions?

Like we are doing already?

~~~~~~

George Will has some good advice:

Two Democratic priorities in the next Congress would placate two factions that hold the party’s leash —- organized labor and the far left. One is abolition of workers’ right to secret ballots in unionization elections. The other is restoration of the “fairness doctrine” in order to kill talk radio, on which liberals cannot compete. The doctrine would expose broadcasters to endless threats of litigation over government rules about how many views must be presented, on which issues, by whom, for how long and in what manner.

By promising to veto both of these forthcoming assaults on fundamental freedoms, McCain would give specific content to voters’ usually unfocused fear of one-party government.

Yeah, liberal ideas are so popular that the dimwitocrats have to force them on you.

Yeesh.

No one forced Georgia or Ukraine or Poland or Latvia or Lithuania or Estonia to move toward Europe and the United States. The elected leaders of those countries decided for themselves. And they made that decision partly because they understand the distinctions between dominance and submission, freedom and slavery, prosperity and penury, aggression and comity. They lived those distinctions. Is it too much to ask that we learn from our friends, and call a culprit a culprit and a victim a victim?

Really?

Survivors described how the irregulars roamed from house to house. They sifted out villagers with Georgian surnames, immediately executing all teenage boys. Nugzari Jashashvili, 65, was returning home across the fields when he saw gunmen approach the house of his neighbour, Gela Chikladze, 50. ‘They cut his throat,’ Jashashvili said.

Jasashvili said the gunmen killed his cousin Koba, 40, and another man. They took two other local men hostage. After watching his neighbour’s murder, Jashashvili hid in a cornfield.

For Nana Tetsladi, 35, there were no doubts last week about Putin’s ruthlessness, or his nonchalant defiance of world opinion.

It seems that Obama recognizes that while his résumé titles are impressive, his actual accomplishments are weak. It’s as if he were jockeying to be the next company CEO with little to show for his prior high-profile management positions. So, he does what anyone else does who has spent years coasting on charisma without doing any heavy work: he pads his résumé—stretching the truth here, stealing credit there, and creating the illusion of achievement during his lackadaisical, undistinguished tenure in previous jobs.

A few examples? Take Obama’s first general election ad. We are told that Obama “passed laws” that “extended healthcare for wounded troops who’d been neglected,” with a citation at the bottom to only one Senate bill: The 2008 Defense Authorization Bill, which passed the Senate by a 91-3 vote. Six Senators did not vote-including Obama. Nor is there evidence that he contributed to its passage in any material way. So, his claim to have “passed laws” amounts to citing a bill that was largely unopposed, that he didn’t vote for, and whose passage he didn’t impact. Even his hometown Chicago Tribune caught this false claim. It’s classic résumé-padding—falsely taking credit for the work of others

As far as I know, it wasn’t McCain that had women fainting at his feet in a series of campaign events. And McCain didn’t write the speech in which Obama claimed that his nomination was the moment “the oceans began to recede and the planet began to heal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~and~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Obama campaign is upset with John McCain far failing to defend Obama from charges leveled by Jerome Corsi in his new book, “The Obama Nation.” But since when is it the job of a presidential candidate to comment on the substance of a book he presumably hasn’t read containing largely obscure allegations about his opponent’s life that he is no position to assess?

Grow a pair, Dunce, this is getting embarrassing.

The contrast was striking throughout each man’s one-hour time on stage. When Warren asked Obama, “What’s the most gut-wrenching decision you’ve ever had to make?” Obama answered that opposing the war in Iraq was “as tough a decision that I’ve had to make, not only because there were political consequences but also because Saddam Hussein was a bad person and there was no doubt he meant America ill.” But Obama was a state senator in Illinois when Congress authorized the president to use force in Iraq. He didn’t have to make a decision on the war. That fact was a recurring issue in the Democratic primaries, when candidates Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden, Christopher Dodd, and John Edwards argued that they, as senators, had to make a choice Obama didn’t have to make. And now he says it’s his toughest call.

To further press the case on abortion, McCain had brought along New Jersey Republican Rep. Chris Smith, one of the most forceful pro-life voices in Congress. After the forum, I asked Smith whether Obama had helped himself at all with pro-lifers. Just the opposite, Smith said. “I thought Sen. Obama’s statement in quoting Matthew 25, which is my favorite scripture since I was in high school — ‘Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do likewise to me’ — when as a matter of record he voted against partial-birth abortion…well, I find it discouraging and disingenuous for him to talk about the least of our brethren.”

Whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity is, you know, above my pay grade.

That spectacularly inept metaphor is going to haunt Obama throughout the rest of the campaign. News flash: There’s not a job on the planet above the pay grade of the President of the United States. If you can’t solve every problem and are humble about it, that’s fine — but you can’t get away with being unsure about the most defining moral issue in politics.

I honestly can’t remember hardly any of Senator Obama’s answers to the questions that were asked, while McCain has had at least SOME memorable answers

I think it was a mistake for Senator Obama to do this forum.

I’ve been shocked at how well McCain has done compared to what I was expecting. That very well could be it.

I don’t know why Obama went there - he comes across as a poor second to our “McZero the hero”.

And that was just the DUmmies. Look what the Koz Kidz had to say.

Obama took too much time with his answers last night.

And then he ruffled the feathers of the Church when he did not commit to conception beginning life.

And perhaps he didn’t share the warm stories apparently sought by those who are saying McCain had a great night.

But if there is one thing for sure that Obama did not do last night it was pander.

Lost in the accolades John McCain has received today from the Christian right is the undeniable fact that any remnants of John McCain ‘The Maverick’ died on that stage last night. John McCain pandered. Once respected for his willingness to do what he, and only he, felt was right, John McCain finally sold what was left of his once respected soul.

John McCain ‘The Maverick’ is dead. Conservatives are now left with McBush.

Studying the Earth and Monitoring Climate Change- Understanding how Earth supports life and how human activities affect its ability to do so is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Because of decades of investment in research satellites, scientists now better understand and can better predict natural phenomena such as hurricanes and weather patterns. However, many of our current monitoring and research satellites are expected to end their operational life between now and 2026. Given the urgency of climate-related monitoring, and considering the time required to design, develop, and deploy Earth observation satellite systems, the Obama administration will lean forward to deploy a global climate change research and monitoring system that will work for decades to come, blah, blah, blah.

Jay, I’ve always wondered why a Socialist Party candidate doesn’t appear in debates — unless of course, they consider OBlahMa their candidate.

The Socialist Party and Communist Party websites declare that he is the next best thing, the first step to having their policies front and center on the American stage.

I was disappointed that OBlahMa singled Justice Thomas out as one he would not have appointed to the SCOTUS. Thomas completes Booker T.. OBlahMa completes W.E.B. Du Bois who said:

“The Negro Race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education then, among Negroes, must first of all deal with the “Talented Tenth.” It is the problem of developing the best of this race that they may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the worst.”

I’m convinced OBlahMa sees himself as The Talented Tenth while Justice Thomas sees all as equally capable.

Go sit in the corner Senator OBlahMa. It is YOU and those like you, who is the weakest link for the African American community.

No matter what McCain says, he probably qualifies after the fact for the “plausible deniability” line. There’s no reason for Democrats to be concerned though even if McCain does happen to get elected. After all, any Democrat can simply print out McCain’s voting record and show it to him — for example, whenever they need him to veto a bill — and readily convince him that his dementia kicked in and some Republican took advantage of an opportunity to make him think that he was one of them.

Yet party leaders — while enthusiastic about Mr. Obama and his state-by-state campaign operations — say he must do more to convince the many undecided Democrats and independents that he would address their financial anxieties rather than run, by and large, as an agent of change — given that change, they note, is not an issue.

I havent checked in on Obama’s cousin, Raila Odinga in a while. Is this legitimate?

“‘The person who made me proudest of all,’ Obama wrote, ‘was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. “He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.’”

So what you might ask? Well, let’s take a closer look at “Roy” Obama.

In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama’s late Muslim father belonged.

So, when a man like Raila Odinga is linked with Abdulkader al Bakri, you are not making a minor connection, but one directly into al Qaeda.

Such are the vagaries of making political bedfellows in other Nations…

And so we have even more sleazy associates of Barack Hussein Obama

What @@ says has some teeth:

Raila Odinga, Kenya’s current prime minister and opposition leader made a huge fortune during his stint as energy minister by dealing with incredibly rich, Islamist-funding Saudis and Libya’s deranged dictator, the terrorist sponsor Muammar Khadaffy. More recently, Odinga promised his country’s Al Qaeda-associated Islamists that he would impose Islamic law on all Kenyans, and protect Islamists from arrest and deportation for jihadist activities. If Odinga comes to power in Kenya, the African nation will surely become another terrorist sponsoring state.

Prediction: it’s probably only a matter of weeks before Obama attempts another “that’s not the man I knew” distancing act relative to his pro-Islamist relative, as in “not the Reverend Wright I knew,” “not the Father Pfleger I knew,” “not the Tony Rezko I knew,” “not the Bill Ayers I knew,” and so on and so forth.

Yeah but that is the al Qaeda we all know.

Obama finished the primary season anemically, almost backing into the nomination. He won his delegate majority largely from caucuses, some sparsely attended. Since securing the nomination, he has stagnated in polls and sustained insufficiently answered attacks from Republicans.

There will be an elephant in the room, or the convention hall, and it won’t be a Republican. It will be a thought, a dread, a fear, that the Democrats are nominating the wrong candidate.

Could this be Michael Dukakis and John Kerry all over again? Should we be nominating Hillary? A few Democrats will say it. More will be thinking it.

Jay: Still stinging from the Iraq victory, are we?

(New column in the litter box liner)

It’s amazing that even with all the neocon war mongers running around, American guns remain silent.

Asked to name an example of when they took a stand against their own party to do what they felt was best for the country, O’bumbler cited ethics reform. McCain, after referencing climate change, spending, and torture, focused his answer on his opposition as a freshman congressman to President Reagan’s decision to send U.S. Marines to Lebanon in 1983.

The example subtly did two things. It pushed back against the portrait of McCain as a warmonger who supports military intervention in all circumstances and it reinforced the fact that he has been involved in America’s national security debates for decades.

Look at the AJC/DNC speculating on behalf of the enemy:

Where exactly do you get the idea that libertarians won’t use the court system? It’s in the Constitution, plain and simple, and Barr loves the Constitution. Why shouldn’t he use the court system? He wants to do away with abuse of the Constitution, but using the courts is not abuse. Income tax is abuse of the Constitution. The Federal drug war is abuse of the Constitution. Lots of things done using the interstate commerce clause are abuse of the Constitution. Using the court system explicitly set up in the Constitution is not abuse.

Subjecting us to all the trash talk of the Republicans is an abuse of the constitution. I saw that Obama tried to slow down his talk but it still wasn’t slow enough to give these Republicans on here enough time to understand. That’s why Republican politicians gave up long ago and started focusing on one-worders instead of one-liners. They even learned to repeat the one word a minimum of three times in order to get through to their constituency. “Drill, Drill, Drill” is one such example. Notice how the Republican leadership also capitalized on a one-syllable word. With tactics such as these, other party candidates looking to get through to the Republican voter will certainly be facing an uphill battle. After all, how do you make a message any dumber. As for a third-party candidate such as Barr, he’ll need to start by getting a nice animal symbol, such as “BigFoot”, followed by a name change for the party to something like “Freedom Party” and a real simple chant such as “Free, Free, Free”. That should help pull away some of the Republican base.
