DEL.ICIO.USObama’s flimsy resume gives nation liberal cause for alarm
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Oh goodness, what have we done?
Democrats desperate to regain the White House, and thus eliminate any obstacle to precipitous flight from the reality that there are, indeed, evil people who wish and will try to kill us, and from the reality that free and functioning markets, and not bureaucrats, distribute wealth, now find themselves with a standard-bearer. My goodness, what have we done?
He’s a charming fellow, no doubt. Charming and most liberal — the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, according to the National Journal. He has come this far, defeating the political machine once thought invincible, the second phase of the Clinton Dynasty, on the promise of change and the vague suggestion that he alone is the messiah who can move America beyond partisanship. On those promises, the young flock to him, enraptured by the rhetoric and his relative youth.
The reality is, of course, that not a one of his admirers can point to a single thing in Barack Obama’s past, and especially in his brief two years in the U.S. Senate, that supports the supposition that he’s anything other than the kind of politician the nation has repeatedly rejected when offered up by national Democrats — George McGovern, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, Al Gore.
He’s a doctrinaire liberal who, like that wing of the Democratic Party, voted to deny both Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito a place on the U.S. Supreme Court despite their exceptional, undisputed qualifications. He’s a doctrinaire liberal who would lead his party in quick retreat from Iraq and who would offer the nation a round of tax increases that would either destroy the incentive to work or create a new industry in tax avoidance.
Say what you will about Hillary Clinton — the nation is ready to move beyond the Bill and Hill saga — she is a politician whose stature grew through the primaries and who came to make a convincing case that she could be a rational and competent president, if, God forbid, that was America’s choice in November. Like Bill, she is enough of a creature of the polls that she’d never go too far afield of public opinion.
Obama frightens. He appears to believe that the reason terrorists and despots want to kill us is because they don’t really understand us. That’s a common misconception on the left. The proper approach, as he sees it, is to talk, to anybody, without preconditions. Phrase the explanation of our virtues just right and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will have his “aha” moment, where he renounces his desires to push Israel into the sea and sees America’s intentions in Iraq and Afghanistan as honorable. And then Ahmadinejad will do what Nancy Pelosi already thinks he does, and that is help tamp down the violence against our warriors in Iraq.
Undoubtedly, Obama will surround himself with wiser heads, seasoned experts like former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia. But it’s his judgment, combined with a hefty dose of arrogance, that prompts concern. As others have noted, he makes a gaffe in a foreign policy pronouncement — meeting bad guys without preconditions, for example — and then sticks to it. He’d rather embrace a wrongheaded policy than admit that he might have been wrong.
He did the same thing in his slow-fuse response to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s anti-Americanism. The reality is that as a community organizer and as a state senator and U.S. Senator, he’s never had to make executive decisions. His instincts are most likely those of facilitator rather than decision-maker, which is why he’s comfortable thinking of himself as one who brings people together, even when his actual votes and behavior in the U.S. Senate indicates no such thing.
Democrats caught up in the “first black” narrative have made their decision. They have one who knows what he would do on Iraq, though he’s not been there in more than two years. They have one who can wax eloquent on public service, as he did in speaking to graduates of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., on the day before Memorial Day. But not once in the entire commencement speech, which included a laundry list of public service options, did he cite military service as an option. This is the guy who would be commander in chief, who would make decisions that could sacrifice life, and it doesn’t occur to him to mention them in a commencement speech on public service.
My goodness, what have we done?

Aahhh, yes, thee business section goony from the Urinal/DNC has made thee front page, above thee fold:
{{{{Job losses, oil jolt economy, strike up thee band, happy days are here again!!-Michael “Paul Krugman” Kanell, Urinal/DNC}}}}
Front page of a “news” paper circulated mostly in the slums of Atlanta, where today’s whiny headline will be met with the universal question of What’s a job?
I suppose congratulations are in order, the same hack that has been whining about a collapsing economy for the last 7 years solid, never missing a chance to blubber, starting the very day Bush took office, through all of the days of wealth creation and phenomenal growth, finally, after all this time, the toady has some rather depressing numbers to work with.
GFY (good for you.)
By the way, it sure is some coincidence that the same day DukaKerry De Wimp wins the dhimmikrat presidential nomination, the economy collapses.
Trust me, this was no “coincidence.”
I pray for you America.

Well, thank you very much AJC/PMS:
{{{{Climate bill pushed into 2009- GOP blocks global warming legislation-Urinal/DNC}}}}
Write that down on your calendar and remember when energy prices soar in 2009, that it was the GOP that tried to save this atrocity on the poor and needy.
For once the Urinal/DNC spoke the truth.

{{{{“I’m sort of surprised we didn’t seem to get much coverage of Father [Michael] Pfleger’s remarks last week and/or the back story of his past radicalism —- or appearance of same —- along with the infighting with the archdiocese of Chicago and the bishop there,” said reader Tom Stanek, who questioned whether the newspaper was downplaying this story because it was damaging to DukaKerry De Wimp.}}}}

Always glad to help:
“She just always thought that, ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white.’ … And then, out of nowhere, came ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama.’ And she said, ‘Oh damn, where did you come from? I’m white. I’m entitled. There’s a black man stealing my show,’” Father Michael Pfleger said at last Sunday’s services at Trinity United Church of Christ.
“She wasn’t the only one crying,” he said. “There was a whole lot of white people crying.”
We understand the significance of DukaKerry’s twenty year relationship with this racist church, even if you don’t want us to.
But that doesn’t stop the Urinal Staff from submitting comments to their own Vent section:
That Hillary-bashing priest must have been ordained at the Limbaugh Theological School.
If Limbaugh said what your preacher boy said, you wouldn’t be dwelling on the “significance” of his remarks anymore.*
And are all these people standing on the pews in church and cheering Limbaugh listeners?:

Well, I see this AJC Management is on here again. I could tell on account of I had to scroll down two screens to get to the Comment part. He must be all constellated again.
I sure hope old man McCain beats this Obama. The best part is nothing will get done in the country. He will veto everything the librul Democrat Congress passes and the librul Democrats will not do nothing McCain wants. A guvmint that does nothing is what we need.
People will go on whining and whining about high gas prices and high food prices and no jobs and a war that goes on 100 years. Well, nobody’s perfect. And leastwise we won’t have one of Those People lording it over us.
Have a good weekend everybody. I’ll return you now to AJC Management. I’ll pray down at the Church of Holiness he finds some Ex-Lax and gets in a better mood.

Has anyone stopped to realize that if Obama was a government employee or contractor he could NEVER receive a Top Secret clearance due to some of this activities and associations with “former” terrorists ? And yet we may elect him president ? Democrats, you are correct that McCain is not the best candidate in the world but YOU should be ashamed of yours.

Obama’s resume is thin but thicker than dubya’s was. But that is no example we wish to follow. In any case, Pres. MCCain will be our next leader and he will be tied down pretty well by an overwhelmingly democratic congress. That is the best we can have; he will be cooperative and they will run things.

Jim Wooten — Stop being a Republican party cheerleading automaton who just repeats the same mantra from the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity.
*WHERE IN THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION DOES IT SAY ONE MUST HAVE “EXPERIENCE” AND “A THICK RESUME” BEFORE ONE “QUALIFIES” TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT ???? Huh !!! *
HOW MUCH “EXPERIENCE” AND “THICK” OF A RESUME WILL BE ENOUGH, THEN ???
According to our Jeffersonian Democracy, all one needs to “qualify” to run for the head of the Executive branch of government is to be over a certain age and be a tax-paying US-born American Citizen.
In fact, some of our Founding fathers argued that such a job would be better served by an “ordinary tax-paying” citizen rather than an “experienced” politician. Apparently Jim Wooten and his ilk know more than our Founding fathers.
Isn’t it amazing that this NEW “EXPERIENCE” AND “THICK RESUME” REQUIREMENT is often being touted by “Conservative” cycles? They choose to trample on our US constitution but hey, they get to define for us what it means to be “patriiotic” as well.
WE GAVE THE “EXPERIENCED” and “THICK RESUMED” BUSH ADMNISTRATION 8 YEARS TO LEAD AND WHAT HAVE THEY LEFT US??? Never-ending expensive wars, a tanking economy,jobs leaving our shores, uncontrolled govt. spending, highest national debt, biggest expansion of government,highest foreclosures, etc. What is the current approval rating of the “Experienced” and “Thick Resumed” Bush Administartion???
*What did the “EXPERIENCE” AND “THICK RESUME” OF Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush do for us?? *
PLEASE TAKE THE REPUBLICAN BLINDERS OFF FOR ONCE, AND USE YOUR BRAIN.

To Candide:
I don’t know where you do you research but Obama never ran a business, was never the Governor of a huge state and never served in the military (even the National Guard) and never learned to fly jet fighters which even in peactime is a very dangerous occupation (check the miltiary training death statistics).
To say that he is more experienced than President Bush was during his campaign is ludicrous.
I love reasoned debate but you need to go back to school.

Well, Jim. We clearly need to re-elect Jimmy Carter for president. Just look at the man’s resume. And, surely he has been out of office long enough to not pose a threat as some wanna-be dictator. I say to heck with any stupid term limit thing as long as they are not all consecutive and as long as someone other than a “relation” occupies the white house between terms. I mean, how many Bushes or Kennedys can one country procreate and groom for public service — give us a little diversity in government. Enough with the in-breeding.

If a “thick resume” were a prerequisite for the presidency, Abraham Lincoln, a one-term Congressman, would never have been elected. And George Washington, an Indian-fighter, land surveyor, and general with no government experience, would never have appeared in the history books.
I’m not impressed with McCain’s credentials. I don’t see how crashing a plane on a carrier deck, getting shot down, wrestling with old men like Strom Thurmond, using the f-word liberally, dumping a cancer-stricken wife in favor of a rich one and committing adultery, and engaging in the Keating Five scandal qualifies him to be president.
These Republican talking points won’t wash. Give that party credit for trying to hang on to the presidency, however desperately, but in the end we will have a fresh perspective in the White House, someone who refuses to operate in the Dubya fashion and who respects the constitution and the will of the people.

Dear jk@9:53
The Constitution gives us the basic qualifications required for the President of the United States. From there we decide by our OWN standards.
For myself, I desire more than a “good speech”. That is the only outstanding quality I find in Obama. That is not enough for me. His negative experiences or no experience are truly “chilling”. Jim Wooten has explained it quite well.
As Obama’s past looms beside him, he deftly “explains” or “deletes” them. But the past is still there and much of it is bigotry as shown in his church, his friends and his wife.
You may think a “good speech” covers all of that. I do not think the influences of his past life and his opinions can be wiped out in a few “political moments” of ‘silver-tongue’ oratory. That is all we get from Obama and it is not enough for the President of the USA.
I want a President who is wise, experienced and a man/women for all people. I will settle for no less.

Can I ask a really simple question for a simpleton liberal? Why is it when a Conservative Republican here, be it Jim Wooten or someone like me, gives an opinion (and that is ALL it is, you liberal diseased scabs representative of the modern left), why is it that these mangy mongrels on the filthy left only retort with “Well you are just repeating what ‘Rushannity’ says”? (Yes, I know the parenthesis are supposed to be on the outside of the quotation mark at the end of a sentence, but I don’t like it - it just doesn’t look right).
Have any of this mange on the diseased left ever come up with ONE example of what “Rushannity” says that’s been repeated here? Conservatives of course could make the same 5th grade school playground argument about liberals dimobat comments on CNN, ABC, CB.S., NBC, PMSNBC, the New York Slimes, and the Atlanta Urinal Constipation and BACK IT UP.
But, we ARE the adults here on the Right, so that pretty much settles the issue.

“Have a good weekend everybody. I’ll return you now to AJC Management. I’ll pray down at the Church of Holiness he finds some Ex-Lax and gets in a better mood.” - by our resident asshat liberal poser
That^^ is the mentality of a diseased liberal scumbucket. If you are a Conservative Republican, you are in a “bad” mood. Sport, when referring to you mangy mutts on the left, you don’t know how Right you are.
Ok, time to get serious…
The headline of a PMSN article:
Gas prices crimping vacation plans?
As prices at the pump hover around $4 a gallon, some Americans are rethinking summer vacation plans. And companies are responding with deals such as credits for gas and free rides for kids.
Let’s do a little 5th grade math for the whineyassed liberal crybabies, shall we? (That article could have come straight from the Atlanta Urinal Constipation).
Two years ago, when Nancy Pelosi & Co. promised they’d DO SOMETHING ABOUT GAS PRICES, gas was at $2.50/gallon on average this time of year. One year ago, gas was up to $3.25/gallon at this time of peak season.
A round trip vacation to Disney, which is roughly 1,000 miles from and to Atlanta including 50 miles for driving around the area down there, based on an overall 25mpg average for your typical minivan on the entire trip, would have cost a family $100 when Nancy Pelosi & RAT Co. made that failed promise of lowering gas prices. Last year that trip would have cost a whopping $130. Today, that same trip would just cause a family to cancel their plans at a cost of $160.
Yes. You read that correctly. Any family who has to scrape up another $60 for a 1,000 mile road trip, NON-GAS RELATED EXPENSES EXCLUDING like a typical 1 night stay near Disney during peak season being $250/night, exclusive of a one day/one person Disney park pass of $71, SURE as hell doesn’t need to be taking a vacation.
(And for you 1970’s hairstyle wearing tatooed liberal punks in Little Five Points, I apologize for the complicated math).
What’s next for the disease of liberalism? Taxing the successful in this nation so families can “afford” to go to Disney World? I wouldn’t put it past them.

ARTIFICIAL BEAK ATTACHED TO EAGLE *Will help bird grasp its PREY (emphasis added, mine)
“She’s got a grill,” joked Nate Calvin, the Boise engineer who spent 200 hours designing the complex beak.
The “grill” was exposed when a bit of the synthetic beak broke off during application. But the new beak is only a temporary fix, designed to nail down precise measurements.
The volunteers moved slowly and talked softly as they slipped the beak on and off, making minor adjustments.
Ms. Cantwell plans to use the bird at lectures across the country to teach people not to shoot at raptors.
After the surgery, Ms. Cantwell cradled the eagle and prepared to return Beauty to her aviary, saying: “The eagle has landed, and she has a beak.”

Is it better to vote for someone you aren’t SURE will mess things up (due to his inexperience) or someone who you are SURE will continue more of the same screw ups with Bush 3? Or is it better to see who the running mates for both are, since neither McCain nor Obama may make it their full term? (McCain has the age thing, Obama has the hate thing.)
I don’t think Obama can win with Clinton. Perhaps another strong woman could win back the women who are appalled that Clinton was so vilified. As for McCain, perhaps a moderate young man could swing some votes his way.
At any rate, the VP candidate needs to have significant national experience (like W did (cough, cough)) since we have decided NOW that it is important.

Wooten’s got nothing. Read his article three times and look for anything that would dissuade a voter at the polls. He’s got nothing. The conservative movement’s wisdom about the State of the Union is that China and India’s demand has caused the bubble in oil prices which has temporarily slowed our growth. The conservative movement wishes it was a question of supply and Indo-Sino demand…. Oil’s surge is from the Iraq War and the global fear that is mounting daily. Bush via Cheney screwed the pooch on a scale of consequences not seen since Lucifer tried to fiddy-cent God. Cheney’s role in the ruining of America is classified, so we cant prove anything, but we can piece together enough to get Cheney behind bars, and we wont stop till we can wish him a conjugal visit.
Wooten likes to wish things too. He wishes that the 911 mastermind’s own wish to be a martyr comes true. Did anyone read that in Friday’s piece? Do you think the jihad can withstand such a devastating offensive of caveat disses and Champlain wishes?? Someone get Bin Laden on the phone and see if he wants to surrender now. Tell OBL that Wooten hopes his martyrdom happens. That one thought contains more firepower and TNT than all the bombs dropped in the last episode of Last Comic Standing. No wonder the 911 mastermind’s hair is always mussed up.
You know, I’m really thankful that Wooten is on our side.
He didn’t Trivialize 911, when a dozen or so men simply stepped on a plane. A very harmless and simple act. No ingenious bio-nuclear WMDs were used. Men stepped on a plane. Bush responded with Cheney’s Plan. Now we have history itself stuck up our patriotic patoots in a giant sucking vortex of national security excuses and war for war’s sake.
With wishes as his weapon of choice, Wooten must be using hi tech computers to run Obama’s name through biblical code machines. Obama Hussein must surely have some jihadist derivation encoded into the Koran that, when filtered through the Mayan calendar predictions and crossed referenced with Nostradumbass, must point to a secret that can get McCain elected.
But I’m sure glad Wooten is a conservative and fighting for the conservative side.
I admit, though, that it’s distressing to read a mature professional journalist write 500 words and not have one succinct syntactical second.
Bush is a good man, and a fine president, but he wasn’t a good commander in chief. He couldn’t get his general to attack the 911 conspirators in 2002. I’m sure Bush wished real hard, but firm orders were required then to win the war of 911. But what a resume Bush has, and what a record! If you go by Bush’s resume and political philosophy, we should elect him again.

Bichin’ catlady, I can assure you that McCain’s wife is keeping him in good shape. Second, we are no longer living in the 1960s. If you want to talk about Obama “hate,” look toward the Clinton campaign. A lot of people mysteriously died during the Clinton years.

I’m glad you used the word arogant in your editorial. You must have learned what it means by watching the Bush Administration the past 8 years. We do not need civil liberties. We do not need an economy where most can own a home, eat a decent meal each day, and afford gas. And all of this came after he talked to who? The American People? The Democrats? I think not. And does he admit any mistakes? Lying about the war? Holding business accountable for their greedy practices?
Obama….Arogant? If so, and I do not believe so (anymore than any other politician), he is no where near the Bush regime’s levels.

Never have I heard terrorism so simplified. Nor have I heard the fight against them so vilified.
Bush has led a good fight and we continue to be safe in America. You smugly suggest that he was a “good” president. So was Jimmy Carter a “good” president. But his fight was mostly “talk” and it didn’t work. It still doesn’t but he keeps trying in bits & pieces. Bush, through our military, has kept us safe. He led us with competence and patriotic confidence.

U.S. Navy leaves Myanmar after junta rebuffs aid efforts

On 911, 19 men stepped on a plane. The new Pearl Harbor was not a hi-tech network of briefcase nukes or chemo-bombs or bioweapons, and a gaggle of sleeper cells, and foreign armies on the march ready to destroy Israel, or any three-headed dragon or Islamic Cyclops. It was simple men getting on simple planes.
Bush let America sleep while these men acted. There were enough warnings to have alarmed a surrender monkey, but because they originated from the Clinton Administration, they were mocked and our shields dismantled while child-napoleans planned big adventures overseas. A war that shouldn’t be there. That wasn’t in the brochure. Oil is 150 a barrel and maybe 250 a barrel because of the Iraq War. Period.

Yes, the very same vehicles that liberals on this blog and others bich about.
MEXICO CITY, May 30 — President Felipe Calderón announced Friday that Ford will build its new fuel-efficient Fiesta “global car” in suburban Mexico City and upgrade two plants here as part of a $3 billion investment, the largest in Mexican history by a foreign manufacturer. The decision is a major setback for the United Auto Workers union, which has pushed Ford and other manufacturers to invest in U.S. plants. But it was a coup for the Mexican economy after years of losing manufacturing jobs to China and other Asian countries.
Anyone who purchased a VW Golf or Jetta made in Mexico in the last five years or so knows that a nation that can’t even keep something as primitive as water supply clean isn’t quite up to standards on building quality cars when the freaking instructions are right in front of them.

It helps to have a backbone, which the pantywastes on the diseased left with their primitive jellyfish “brains” lack.
Anyway, moving forward…
“Multiple government and private analyses now clearly show that the bill is wrong for America,” Senator Inhofe said. “The EIA analysis projected unacceptable increases in Americans average annual household energy bills up to $325 in 2020 and $723 by 2030. And this does not factor in transportation-related costs. The EIA also found that the Lieberman-Warner bill would lead to higher coal, natural gas and petroleum prices.
“Further, EIA’s gloomy economic analysis is contingent upon the U.S. building more than 2 1/2 times as many new nuclear plants as are currently operating — an increase so massive and unrealistic as to be fictional. EIA also found Lieberman-Warner would result in up to a 9.5% drop in manufacturing output by 2030.
“Despite this gloomy EIA analysis, proponents of Lieberman-Warner are still claiming the bill will not impose economic harm to America. Only in Washington could higher energy prices be characterized as not negatively impacting the U.S. economy. If Democrats have their way, Americans will pay significantly more at the pump, in their homes, and in many cases, with their jobs, all to accomplish an undetectable impact on the climate.
“The question now is which U.S. Senator will dare to stand on the Senate Floor a month from now to vote in favor of significantly increasing the price of gas at the pump?”
Well that’s a good damned question. You think these feel good liberals who based VERY important decisions solely on how they FEEL actually helps the future of this nation?

WASHINGTON, June 7 (UPI) — The head of U.S. mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp. allegedly approved special loans to politically connected borrowers, a report said.
Among the borrowers were two former chief executives of Fannie Mae, which is Countywide’s biggest buyer of mortgage services, including James Johnson, a close adviser to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
Johnson, who is serving on a committee to help Obama pick a vice presidential running mate, served at Fannie Mae’s CEO from 1991 to 1998 and worked closely with Mozilo to streamline the credit approval process, which, the Journal reported, led to a huge boom in mortgage lending that has come crashing to an end with the current mortgage crisis.

Iran’s Mahmoud ACHKmadinejihad: DNC talking head soon to take Howard Scream’s position:
Iran expects a “different approach” from the next US president, whoever wins the November elections, President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad said in an interview published in Italy Wednesday. “Whoever wins the elections, I’m sure that the United States will change, it will have a different approach,” the Iranian leader told the Italian daily La Repubblica. The United States will have a reduced sphere of influence in the world,” he predicted, adding: “The new president will have to respond to the real demands of the American people: 40 million American citizens do not have health insurance, the victims of the New Orleans hurricane still have no homes.” In addition, the United States “will have to withdraw the soldiers from Iraq (since) the American people will not tolerate continued spending of billions of dollars on weapons,” said Ahmadenijad, in Rome to attend the UN food agency’s summit on food security. Asked whether he would negotiate with the new US leadership come January 2009, Ahmadenijad said: “It is they who cut off the links with us, hoping to suffocate us. Today Iran is an advanced country. We are ready for dialogue with anyone, except with the Zionist regime, in relations based on mutual respect and fairness.”

“On Monday, August 29, 2005, at about 6:00 a.m., Hurricane Katrina slammed into the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. A category 5 hurricane until just before landfall, it was one of the worst storms ever to hit the Gulf Coast. Kathleen Blanco, the governor of Louisiana, had been briefed extensively about what to expect when the storm hit, which was why, on the Friday night before the storm reached the coast, she signed papers declaring Louisiana to be in a state of emergency. Based on what she had been told by her advisers and what she knew from being a native Louisianan, she understood that Katrina, creeping gradually toward land with sustained winds of a strength rarely seen in a hurricane, could prove to be catastrophic for Louisiana, and particularly for New Orleans.
If Bush had not seen what was taking place by Tuesday, Karl Rove had. The first evidence of Rove’s involvement in the Katrina disaster occurred on Tuesday afternoon. “Rove understood what a nightmare this was for the president,” Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana says, “so he went into high gear on the spin thing they’re so good at in the White House. Rove had David Vitter, the Republican senator from Louisiana. I was at a press conference and David Vitter walked up to the mike and said, ‘I just got off the phone with Karl Rove.’ I looked at the governor and she looked at me, like, ‘Why is David Vitter on the phone with Karl Rove?’ I mean, he could have been talking to generals, the president himself, but Rove is just a political hatchet man.”
“I could not believe that the president of the United States, staged by Karl Rove himself, had come down to the city of New Orleans and basically put up a stage prop. It was like you had gone to a studio in California and filmed a movie. They put the props up and the minute we were gone they took them down. All the dump trucks were gone. All the Coast Guard people were gone. It was an empty spot with one little crane. It was the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life. At that moment I knew what was going on and I’ve been a changed woman ever since. It truly changed my life.”
The truth is coming out about the scum in the WH.

Many here may not consider this of any consequence but in the grand scheme….
IT IS!
Big oil goes to war with Putin.
Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev announced June 6 that he had reached an agreement with U.S. energy supermajor Chevron on the first leg of a pipeline system that has the unstated aim of diverting the majority of Kazakhstan’s oil exports away from Russia.
It is difficult to overstate the implications of such a development. Russia uses its Soviet-era petroleum transport systems to maintain a stranglehold on the economic and political life of the Central Asian states. Meaningful alternative shipping routes have so far been small in volume and long in coming.
Major coup!
Thanks Chevron.

Getalife: disaster preparedness and reaction happens in this order:
Local government (New Orleans)
State government (Louisiana)
Federal government (Washington)
You can spin it six days to Sunday, but the fact is that things happen in that order and the two first responses failed to plan and failed to take action. Oh yeah, and didn’t your former governor announce not seeking re-election in 2007?
That said, I wonder, why do the people in lower Mississippi have no problems re-establishing their livelihood while those in New Orleans almost three years later still suffer?
Finally, the last time I checked, and correct me if I’m wrong, Bush isn’t running for a third term, and John McCain is NOT George W. Bush.
“FEMA issued a statement dated August 27, that President Bush authorized the allocation of federal resources, “following a review of FEMA’s analysis of the state’s request for federal assistance. A White House statement of the same date also acknowledges this authorization of aid by President Bush. On August 28, Governor Blanco sent a letter to President Bush, which increased the amount of aid requested to US $130 million.”
“On September 1, 2005, Governor Blanco authorized United States National Guard troops to “shoot and kill” rioters and looters, which followed President Bush’s statement that looters in New Orleans and elsewhere in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina should be treated with “zero tolerance.” The attitude toward looters, and the perception that police and national guard resources were diverted to deal with looters, were sources of controversy and criticism. Governor Blanco was also criticized for allegedly having only a minor subset of her available National Guard troops standing by on ready, and for not being able to provide relief supplies and standby medical or other first responder personnel to New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin for the victims of the hurricane.”

DALLAS - A stolen theft decoy car being monitored by police crashed into another car as officers tried to disable it, killing the elderly driver of the second car, police said. The bait car program has been halted in Dallas as police investigate why the vehicle couldn’t be disabled. Bait cars, equipped with cameras and tracking equipment, are used by law enforcement around the country as theft deterrents.
Well that sucks. I’ve got a better idea. Why not just camp out and watch the bait car, and then when some pos tries to steal it, shoot him up with a nice amped up stun gun?

He told us the Plame outing was treason.
He was correct.
Now he tells us about a tape the gop will use after the Dem convention:
“Let me conclude with this–I think there is at least one tape/recording that will be released sometime after the August convention and is likely to be very damaging to the Barack Obama presidential campaign. While I hope that Super Delegates wake up and realize that Hillary is their best shot for victory in the fall, I realize I am swimming upstream. So word to Barrack and team–the tape is coming at some point and you folks better be ready to deal with it because, unlike the situations with Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger, you cannot divorce your wife in the middle of a campaign.”

The Oil Bubble: New demand accounts for $75 oil. The rest is the Iraq war. The market really doesnt know what could happen, and that uncertainty created the bubble. When Obama ends that war, then oils bubble will burst and gas will be 2 bucks a gallon again.
As time passes and the America People realize what conservatives did to our great country, by inventing one phoney war, and ignoring one real war, there going to be an outcry for justice, and Cheney better have left for argentina. Move over Goebels and Eichmann, Cheney needs to play hide the meatball.
Conservatism has been reduced to drawing a moustache, beard, ogal and shumagg on Obama’s visage on campaign posters. That will be the content, platform and campaign language conservatives will use. You heard it here first.
Proof? Look at conservatism’s only campaign effort during the primaries: “Hillary sounds like my wife telling me to take out the garbage”. That’s it folks. The entire Republican effort.
Expect more of the same vs Obama. Rushannities wont be able to control themselves, and the bloggers here will all follow their lead, well, more like hack all their material, like they do 24/7 365 year in and year out.
Obama 08: He’d probably looks arab in a dishdashah, and you can expect the right to draw them on Obama campaign posters. but so would anyone look arab who wore a thoub. Except McCain, he’d look like a bozo in a gutrah, who was trying to pretend he’s Arafat in a shumagg to scare little girl scouts out of their cookies.
All the conservatives have is Obama’s name to run against him in November. Every other domestic and foreign issue they’ve lost credibility for, or they’ve corrupted and need to lay low to prevent prosectution.
Imagine Rush in a dishdashah!! (lol, that is very funny, there is milk coming out my nose:)
Now Imagine Hannity in a thoub! (Ohh, that’s even funnier! Rushannities are joining al queda cause they’re afraid of freedom, they prostituted the word when they sold it to french fries.)

Senators Obama and McCain:
We were reading the other day about the tobacco legislation you both support that is making it’s way through Congress.
The bill would give the federal government the authority to regulate tobacco.
And it would ban flavored cigarettes - like strawberry and chocolate.
Flavoring makes tobacco smoke more attractive - especially to young people.
So, we agree - flavoring should be banned from cigarettes.
Here’s the curious thing, though.
Under the bill, all flavorings would be banned.
Except for menthol.
Menthol cigarettes make up fully a quarter of the more than 375 billion cigarettes consumed in the United States every year.
And 75 percent of African-Americans who smoke smoke menthol cigarettes.
We know you’ve both been busy on the campaign trail.
So, maybe you missed it last week when a bipartisan group of seven former secretaries of health sent you and other members of Congress a letter protesting the menthol loophole and demanding that menthol be banned along with all other flavorings.
Citing studies that show that an estimated 80 percent of African-American teenage smokers pick menthol brands, former health secretary Joseph Califano said that the menthol loophole was “clearly putting black children in the back of the bus.”
The letter that was sent to you says that the loophole “caves to the financial interests of tobacco companies and discriminates against African-Americans - the segment of our population at greatest risk for the killing and crippling smoking-related diseases.”
“It sends a message that African-American youngsters are valued less than white youngsters.”
Just wanted to make sure you saw this.
And the New York Times article about the letter.
We also noticed that the National African-American Tobacco Prevention Network at first supported the legislation, but now opposes it because of the lethal menthol loophole.
So, here’s to the hope that both of you will be able to make a change we can all believe in.
What say you to the youth of America?

Early in the primary season, the Repubs were ranting about how “the liberal media was trying to force their choice on them.” They were upset because they did not think the right Repub was winning. The decided to start a campaign to support Hillary because they thought they had a chance at beating her. Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, among others publicly proclaimed their support for a Dem because there were not sufficiently conservative Repubs.

This is scary.
And since dimwit Obambi gushed that America doesn’t treat it’s sick people, the Urinal/DNC dutifully cobbles together some propaganda to cover for their moron’s gaffe:
Patients in peril often get no help-Urinal/PMS
Can you say in the bag?
A major Obama adviser is convicted of bribery, and the media shrugs. I wonder what the coverage would have been like had it been a Republican or Hillary.-Urinal/DNC Vent
Heh, word^^.
The short version of the Democratic Party primary campaign is that the media fell in love with Barack Obama but the Democratic electorate declined to.
Out there in the voting booths, however, Democrat legs stayed admirably unthrilled. The more the media told Hillary she was toast, and she should get the hell out of it and let Obama romp to victory, the more Democrats insisted on voting for her. The more the media insisted Barack was inevitable, the less inclined the voters were to get with the program. On the strength of Chris Matthews’ vibrating calves, Sen. Obama raised a ton of money – over $300 million – and massively outspent Sen. Clinton, but he didn’t really get any bang for his buck. In the end, he crawled over the finish line. The Obama Express came a-hurtlin’ down the track at 2 miles an hour.
~~~~~~
Sen. Hillary Clinton, the most successful female presidential candidate in U.S. history, officially ended her campaign Saturday with a forceful promise to help elect Sen. Barack Obama —- and the declaration that, even though she had failed to “shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling,” a gender barrier had been crossed.-Urinal/DNC
Some could say she even won it, hahaha.
But instead she gets the booby prize.
A bunch a gaseous mindless platitudes across thee pages of the pinko media, your efforts have been duly noted Bruno, now GTF away.
And doesn’t it sum up liberalism in nutshell, pinko’s consider it a success not when you are actually successful but instead if you are the right color or gender, or you say the things that the dhimmokrats want to hear.
That is why liberals want to cripple the economy, they don’t care if we are a successful, prosperous country, they just want to be liked by doing what the world tells them to do, no matter the consequences.
Winning to them is not the goal, winning is mean, they would rather be losers groveling before the court of world opinion so that everybody is “happy.”
I pray for you America.

Given all that, it’s incredibly backward-looking to believe there should be race-based remedies for the problems facing the most beleaguered black Americans, those languishing in prisons or crime-infested public housing, those who are drug-addicted, illiterate and unemployed. Now, it’s absolutely true that black folks are disproportionately afflicted by a host of ills, from poor health to poor educational attainment, because of the legacy of discrimination. Oppressed, shut out and segregated for centuries, black Americans were given the worst schools, the worst medical care, the worst housing, the worst neighborhoods.-Queen Pinko, Urinal/PMS
How do you like that, the dhimmokrats and their welfare programs, teacher’s unions and inability to see beyond the victim culture are solely responsible for the plight of blacks, but yet the balme you, the typical American racist for their failures.
These kandy as-s mealy mouthed liberals have had control of the government for the better part of the last century and all they have been able to accomplish with their beloved government is to marginalize and mire blacks in deep, ruinous poverty.
Maybe government isn’t the solution, gosh, where have I heard that before?
~~~~~
Democrats are not being blamed for causing the price of gasoline to reach $4 a gallon, at least by the public and at least for now. Where Democrats have stumbled embarrassingly is in their campaign to persuade the public that the American oil industry is the chief culprit. A Gallup national poll in May found only 20 percent blame the oil companies for gouging, down from 34 percent a year ago. Where Republicans have succeeded is in selling their solution to soaring gas prices: drilling for oil offshore and on federal lands, areas now off limits. In the Gallup survey, support for drilling in precisely these areas jumped from 41 percent in 2007 to 57 percent in May.
Just think of the long, never ending idiocy of the left’s lying propaganda kkkampaign against domestic energy production and as soon as Republicans inform the public of the truth, their opinion swings immediately to the opposite of what the environmental terrorists want to do.
Is this not proof positive that we need to get all of our message out? Why are we still cowering before the dimwits?
I’m sorry, why are you still cowering before the dimwits?
~~~~~~
Every one knows the standard operating procedure for a communist dictatorship is to blame your country’s failures on some outside force or boogeyman, this being total propaganda to make your enslaved citizenry belief that you have their best interests in mind, is this not how the dhimmokrat party acts most of the time?
New Russian president blames America for economic troubles-Urinal/PMS
Hey! We hate America too!
The enemy: America. The savior: the dhimmokrat party.
Great.

Another dhimmokrat lead government passes it’s incompetence along to We the People:
DEKALB COUNTY: Taxes likely to increase-Urinal/DNC
Hmmm, property values are “plummeting,” according to the drive by media, but yet property taxes still increase.

Let me tell you all a little story about conservatism. We go to 1904. The Wright Brothers invented the airplane. They went to sell their idea, and nobody would buy it. Instead, Alexander Graham Bell, saw that he could steal the idea. He said, “you could put a powerful enough engine on a picnic table and it would fly.”
Bell, with his army of lawyers, would not allow the Wright Bro’s patent to stop his conspired infringement. The Wright Brothers never profited. They spent years trying to stop knock offs in court, and squandered all the opportunities that should have gone to the inventors of flight. Bell stole the designs and the entire enterprise in conspiracy with a motor manufacturer named Curtis..
Same with TV. A farmer invented Television, but CBS stole the typewriter-effect gizmo that made it work, and refused to pay the farmer a penny, until he sued in court and eventually got a pittance of what it was worth. ( I still want to know how that farmer could rely on his invention to go one line at a time from the top left to right and then down one line from left to right and then down one line etc, until an entire CRT was filled forming the TV picture we saw back then. Is there something about matter itself that makes it conform to that effect? I will learn how this gizmo works. I want to steal television. I am a conservative).
That’s conservatism. That’s what needs to be squashed forever. They want their monopoly when it benefits them, otherwise, they’re communists who insist everyone should share ideas and technology, patents and industry. (Until they can lock it up for themselves, then they imprison those who would infringe their stolen patents).
That’s conservatism. Pure evil. Selfish greed and stolen monopoly. Why do you think we made laws against it?

Well, let’s look at total years in elected office, Sen. Obama has GWB beat out if you look back at 2000. GWB’s first elected office was that of governor of Texas which he held for 5 years, between state senate and US Senate, Sen Obama has been in elected office for 10 years. That aside, I am still not convinced that either of the Senators running for president should win. Why have, for the last three elections, both parties given us a “lesser of the two evils” to choose from?
As far as Sen. Obama’s votes against Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, both men are undoubtedly qualified, but if Sen. Obama felt, as I do, that they would vote too often too far to the right, then he was justified. I consider myself a very centrist individual, but I don’t want to see us move backwards, and that is what has happened since the appointment of these two individuals to the Supreme Court.
Finally, something I want to point out about the difference between conservatives and liberals, and I am sure Mr. Wooten would agree. If it were for the conservatives, we would be singing “God Save The Queen” prior to every baseball game. Liberalism is nothing to fear in moderation, the same goes for conservatism. There just needs to be a balance.

GWB’s first elected office was that of governor of Texas which he held for 5 years, between state senate and US Senate, Sen Obama has been in elected office for 10 years. That aside, I am still not convinced that either of the Senators running for president should win. Why have, for the last three elections, both parties given us a “lesser of the two evils” to choose from?
As far as Sen. Obama’s votes against Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, both men are undoubtedly qualified, but if Sen. Obama felt, as I do, that they would vote too often too far to the right, then he was justified. I consider myself a very centrist individual, but I don’t want to see us move backwards, and that is what has happened since the appointment of these two individuals to the Supreme Court.
Finally, something I want to point out about the difference between conservatives and liberals, and I am sure Mr. Wooten would agree. If it were for the conservatives, we would be singing “God Save The Queen” prior to every baseball game. Liberalism is nothing to fear in moderation, the same goes for conservatism. There just needs to be a balance.

Americans for Natural Selection formally endorses John McCain. While the ANS commends George W. Bush for taking this country in a direction that rids itself of dead weight, there is much work left.
The ANS believes a country is only as strong as its weakest link. We are advocates of eliminating this link. By effectively serving Bush’s third term, John McCain will continue policies that choke out the poor and cripple the members of the middle class who would not make it anyway.

Sen. Barack Obama: President of Harvard Law Review
Constitutional Law Professor @ University of Chicago, one of the preeminent law schools in the country.
The current crop of Supreme Court justices have help in the removal/diminishing the 1st, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendments of the Constitution; selected George W. Bush as President, overriding the Florida Supreme Court on a state issue of election; expanded eminent domain, confiscation of personal property.
Where does the list end? Yet, there are those who would rather shoot themselves i the foot to bolster their point at the expense of everyone else. Isn’t this attitude that allowed the current regime to terrorize the citizenry?

Jackie,
The Kelo vs New London decision, that you must be using in your argument that the “current” court expanded eminent domain, was 5-4 and the four dissenters were Sandra Day O’Conner, William Rehnquist, Clarence Thomas, and Antonin Scalia.
If the expansion of eminent domain is your beef it sounds like you need to have more conservative justices.

Jackie - great post. What you must understand is the foundation of insecurity upon which the righwing currently teeters. Following the civil rights movement, those who had felt entitled merely altered their approach. At the core of their being is the need to look down upon and it has nothing to do with right or wrong. All they have to do is win - your appeal for the well being of the country is really of no concern to them (how could it be? - look at the results). They must perceive themselves as better than, lest they melt.
In the last eight years they have screwed us in ways we have yet to feel. Come November, the core of this virus will board its yacht and head for the island they’ve just bought, collectively giving this place the finger. After all, in their eyes, it went bottoms up with the civil rights movement. Equality is for losers, Jackie.

Well, let’s see how this works out if we follow the rules of liberal propaganda.
If liberals get “older”(and they will!!), we should call them a bowl of soup, demented, Gramps and “Sleepy”.
If liberals are involved in an accident, it is THEIR fault without a doubt ‘specially if they are flying planes in the military.
If liberals get shot, it is THEIR fault ‘specially if it happened in military action.
If the marriage of a lib doesn’t work, it is HIS fault.
If a liberal serves in the USA Congress where there is a known bigot, it is HIS fault that Congress has a bigot.
If a liberal is in a group of Senators at an unauthorized meeting, that liberal is GUILTY even if the investigator CLEARS that liberal of wrongdoing.
Liberals should never let themselves become POWs and get tortured. It they do, it is THEIR fault.
If liberals develop skin cancer, it is THEIR fault.
On the other hand,
If liberal Democrats nominate a candidate closely associated with others well known for rabid antiAmerican sentiments,IT IS THEIR fault. They nominated Obama.

As a Republican I feel funny admitting this, but I was pulling for Hillary to beat Obama the last few months. Biggest reason is that it was obvious the news media is in love with Obama and slanted positive coverage to him and negative to Hillary. We’ve been putting up with that crap for decades on my side. On the upside, going forward I think most rational Americans are getting enough of the “Obama is the Messiah” message being crammed down their throats by the media. Overexposure is just as bad for a candidate as underexposure.

Aahhh, yes, down the road of ruin we ride:
Do you see this picture of children so strongly cheering their leader, Adolph Hitler? How did Hitler control these young people? Could this happen again today? If we learn how Hitler was able to control his youth, then perhaps we can help to prevent a repeat of such Nazi-style mind-control brainwashing in the future.
Germany, of course, rose from the ashes of World War I, (“The War to End All Wars”), as both a democracy and a country that was heavily in debt. Inflation was rampant. Social problems were also rampant. Hitler promised to fix his Germany and restore the “respect” that many Germans thought was so unjustly taken from them by the Armistice marking the end of World War I.
How Did Hitler Control His Youth
Hitler used his image as a father figure
Hitler extinguished dissent
Hitler made certain that children were kept as ignorant as possible
Hitler gathered the children into frequent rallies
Hitler used the Jews as a focus of blame
Hitler believed that having too much money was a real problem for children
Hitler used a propaganda program
Hitler wrote books and other propaganda materials to promote his views

James Warren “Jim” Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was the American founder of the Peoples Temple, which became synonymous with group suicide after the November 18, 1978 death of over 900 people from cyanide poisoning in their isolated agricultural intentional community called Jonestown,
In 1951, Jones began attending communist meetings and rallies in Indianapolis.[4] Jones became flustered at harassment he received during the McCarthy Hearings,[4] particularly, regarding meetings between Jones and his mother with Paul Robeson.[5] This, among other things, provoked a seminal moment for Jones where he asked himself “how can I demonstrate my Marxism?
Jones purported to preach what he called “apostolic socialism.”[8] In doing so, the Temple openly preached to established members that “religion is an opiate of the people.”[9] Accordingly, “those who remained drugged with the opiate of religion had to be brought to enlightenment — socialism.”[10] In that regard, Jones also openly stated that he “took the church and used the church to bring people to atheism.” [11] Jones often mixed those concepts, such as preaching that “If you’re born in this church, this socialist revolution, you’re not born into sin. If you’re born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you’re born in sin. But if you’re born in socialism, you’re not born in sin.”[9]
Members of Jones’ church called him “Father” and believed their movement was the solution to the problems of society; many did not distinguish Jones from the movement. Since the Peoples Temple participation was instrumental in the mayoral election victory of George Moscone in 1975, Moscone appointed Jones as the Chairman of the San Francisco Housing Commission.[13]
Unlike most other figures deemed as cult leaders, Jones enjoyed public support and contact with some of the highest level politicians in the United States. For example, in the heat of the 1976 presidential campaign, Jones met with vice presidential candidate Walter Mondale on his campaign plane.[14] Likewise, First Lady Rosalynn Carter personally met Jones for a private dinner at the Stanford Court Hotel.[14] Mrs. Carter later called Jones personally.[15] At the 1976 grand opening of the San Francisco Democratic Party Headquarters, Jones packed the audience with Temple members and garnered louder applause when he spoke than Mrs. Carter.[16]
At that dinner, while introducing Jones, Willie Brown stated “Let me present to you what you should see every day when you look in the mirror in the early morning hours … Let me present to you a combination of Martin King, Angela Davis, Albert Einstein … Chairman Mao.”[18] Introducing Jones at another dinner, Brown referred to him as “a young man came upon the scene, became an inspiration for a whole lot of people. He’s done fantastic things.”
Following a visit to the Peoples Temple, Harvey Milk wrote to Jones: “Rev Jim, It may take me many a day to come back down from the high that I reach today. I found something dear today. I found a sense of being that makes up for all the hours and energy placed in a fight. I found what you wanted me to find. I shall be back. For I can never leave.”[21]
“When somebody like Jim Jones comes on the scene, that absolutely scares the hell out of most everybody occupying positions of power in the system.”[23] Harvey Milk wrote Jones a handwritten note stating “my name is cut into stone in support of you - and your people.”[24] Most imporantly for Jones and the Temple, Moscone’s office shortly thereafter issued a press release saying that Jones had broken no laws. [24]
Sieg Heil, you stupid mofos.

Wooten writes that america has moved beyond the bill and hill saga. lol. The conservatives invented the saga, and it has as much credibility as Bush knew about 911 on 910.
Yes, the left was truthful when they said Iraq was an unjustified, unnecessary, distracting war from the real war in afghanistan. The right will use the truth of the left, and copy the resultant gems of beautiful logic they employed to destroy conservatism’s credibility. However there’s a diff.
Conservative’s style over substance will play out as groups of armed men roving around subdivisions in the wee hours defacing Obama campaign posters. They’ll draw in Arab garb, beards, etc. Real mature. But it’s the only hand conservatism has left.
Will American’s fall for it? They fell for WMDs didn’t they? They fell for Kerry’s Nam record smear vs Bush’s desertion coverup. They fell for the Supreme Court coup in 2000.
With some gullible voters, a hitler moustache is worth a thousand flip flops and two thousand burning draft cards!!!

Over the past year, a growing number of very consequential figures in the jihadist movement have publicly and vociferously repudiated Osama Bin Laden. And that is costing Al Qaeda the hearts and minds of many of those radical-leaning Muslims who might otherwise sympathize with the terrorists.
The reason: Al Qaeda has gone too far even for many jihadists to stomach. They are horrified by Al Qaeda’s brutal campaign in Iraq, by the reality that most of Al Qaeda’s victims around the world are Muslim and by the fact that the terror network has continued to target civilians for slaughter in the West.
But the surrender monkey left still loves him and fervently wishes he would blow up some more people in Iraq so that they can beat Geroge Bush about the head with their goony propaganda.
The libs are really sick, you know it?
Recent polls show that Al Qaeda has hemorrhaged support in places where its terrorist campaign has reached people’s doorsteps. By one measure, pro-Al Qaeda sentiment is now down to 10% in Saudi Arabia - and has dropped from 70% to 4% in the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan. The number of Al Qaeda sympathizers in Britain fell dramatically after the 2005 London bombings.

If you want to blame Republicanism for some of the liberal justices on the court just because they were put their by Republican Presidents with liberal Democrat Senates then so be it, but that’s a rather absurd way to look at things.
The liberal justices are the ones that expanded eminent domain and the conservative justices were on your side.
What your argument leads you to sounds more like one that I would make in that the only logical conclusion to get where you want to is to have a conservative Republican President and a conservative Republican Senate with a fairly large majority.

Greetings fellow dimwits:
Those were some great comments by the AJC/DNC Management @ 2:05, my most faithful and devoted propaganda outlet, no truer words have been spoken. I will have to plagiarize them here before long. Jim Jones was admired by many dhimmokrats and we passed up a great opportunity with this legendary man; had he been elected president, then the whole mofoing country would have committed suicide, not just a few hundred of you morons.
And if that would have happened, then I wouldn’t have to be standing here today, being put upon by you mouth breathers, leeches who are nothing but a bunch of Godless heathens with no religion and therefore no purpose in your sorry, mindless lives, waiting for a lightweight blowhard like me to be your messiah and chosen one, who will lead you like sheep through your parasitic existence, all the way sucking dry the very country that you hate but yet turn to for every measly, pitiful little thing that any adult would just take care of themselves.
Take pride in yourselves, you silly sycophants.
Do you think it is easy being the second coming of Adolf Hitler? To make all these stupid promises to you dullards that there is “hope” and “change” if you would only subjugate yourself to Thee All Knowing and All Seeing Government Monolith, Taker of Everything and Giver of Minuscule Trinkets?
Yes, yes, I know many of you adore your Government Trinkets and take great pleasure in getting over on your responsibilities, just remember to elect me and I will make your trinket more shiny.
How can I do this, you ask, when we are in hock up to my big fat ears to China? That is a good question and I am proud that you remember goony propaganda lesson #2, scare mongering the deficit and blaming thee Repugs for it. Have no doubt, dimwits, I am going to ravage the businesses that made America so successful and I’m going to take it to the hard workers of this country like they have never seen before, and then I’m going to give all this money to the lame and stupid, the unproductive, the hacks and thee criminals, the crack dealers from my hood, the moron welfare queens, the teacher’s union from the failed public school system and, of course, the lawyers.
And when tax revenues plummet from this audacious extortion of the successful, then I will raise taxes even more, bwa.
So gather around me, you ignorant masses of thee clueless, touch the hem of my suit coat, prostrate yourselves and weep at the very sight of my Exalted As-s, you have been blessed by thee Great and Annointed Giver Of Government Benefits, and I will lead you by thee nose through your pointless, shallow, petty and failed dependency.

Dear Jim W.
I will give you an answer to your question “What have we done”i.e. nominating Barak Obama, etc.: WE can blame the neo Conservative Republicans and President Bush for their lack luster handling of the economy, the current oil situation, and a refusal to listen to about 80% of the American public that would like someting done about Illegal Immigration ….enforcing laws and quotas already on the books,plus doing a much better job on the budget and keeping their dirty paws out of the cash register. The immaturiy of the Republican party and a bull headed, most inarticulate President has put Obama at the head of he opposition that may just wipe out Republicans in Congress and make a gift of the White House to the worse possible candidate from either party to come down the pike in the last 100 years.

I have the perfect solution to all of our problems. We, as a people, have no constitutional right to vote for President. The states have been kind enough to bestow that on us, but since we as Americans can’t seem to pick a good President, let’s just go back to having one picked for us by electors chosen by our legislatures.

I am Lady Liberty, the Mother of Exiles. Listen American Heart: “Vote despite that Bush has left you tired and poor, homeless and tempest-tossed. Vote out the storied pomp of those elite brazen conservative giants. America needs it’s huddled masses, yearning to breathe free of being the wretched refuse of our teeming shores.”
Listen American Heart: “Obama can bring justice back to America. McCain is Bush with a mask and a prettier wife. Dont be fooled. It’s not nice to fool Lady Liberty!”

Jackie,
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
For the record I would say we have two originalists, two moderately conservative, two liberals, and three barking moonbats on the court right now.
Now back to the second amendment, your reading that the individual has to be in the well regulated militia doesn’t fit the formulation of the text. Why do you suppose the founders would write a bill of rights containing ten amendments and have nine pertain to the individual and one to the state?

What have WE done? I guess Mr. Wooten means his colleagues at the AJC. They are certainly complicit in the media’s annointing of Senator Obama. Too bad newspapers feel they must compete with the 24 hour news channels in doing more opining than reporting. What they do is much more deceitful: not reporting information negative to the candidate they prefer. I wish I hadn’t paper trained my dog 15 years ago; I’d cancel my AJC subscription. I’ll be sad to eventually lose my dog but not so sad to lose the AJC.

Finally, Mr. Wooten’s getting scared. He has finally recognized that President Obama will be running the country the right way—the LIBERAL way—and that he and the dwindling remnant of neocon-drones are on their way OUT.
Good news all around! Thanks, Wooten!

It’s amazing how Republicans will use anything to discredit a man who has an overwhelming possibility of being our next president of the United States. His resume obviously qualified him to be a contender and got him this far in the race. Have you all forgotten that we live in a democratic society and it’s the people that ultimately decides.
Instead of looking at Obama’s lack of experience why not look at what the Republican have done to the economy in the eight years in power. If you remember nothing you should remember this word FORECLOSURES, and at an all time high… We now have a man who has new ideas, and a sensible approach to health care, terrorism, and our Armed Forces.
Obama has my vote come November 2008 and November 2012

In responding to Mr. Wooten’s column regarding Senator Obama’s ‘flimsy’ resume’, I can recall that the two most recent individuals to occupy the haloed positioned of President of the United States of America (Clinton and G. W. Bush/Bush 43)ascended to their coveted status without the benefit of serving in the national electorate (Congress, Senate, House of Representatives, etc.).
The perceived lack of experience did not preclude Presidents Clinton and Bush from attaining residency in the White House - to varying degrees of success and failure for both. My belief is that the Conservative right-wing of the American political structure has an innate fear of the galvanizing power exhibited by Senator Obama in his campaign for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States of America. As Senator Obama’s core constituency swelled to include college-age youths and whites in middle america, many segments of the power elite in this country began to dread the possible coalescing of groups who represented diverse points of view and a willingness to engage and unite for the CHANGE in the regime establishment to which the United States of America has become so accustomed. This fear is borne out a sense that control over the minds and will of the people that has been enjoyed by the elite class in this country for over two hundred and thirty years may be ending.

What a thoughtful, insightful column Jim. Odd though, that you now say Hillary is a savvy experienced public servant - not the anti-Christ you really think she is. Sorry, I don’t buy it. You hate Hill plenty - just refocusing for November follies. Odder still though, (if OB’s “inexperience” keeps you up nights), was your total lack of concern back in 2000 when the Repubs handed their nomination to a chuckle-headed ‘tard who barely scraped a gentleman’s “C” (that’s really an “F” for we who had to earn grades) during his legacy-admission Yale stint and who couldn’t have found Afghanistan with a Worldbook Children’s Atlas and a flashlight. Idiocy, it appears, is no barrier to carrying water on behalf of the well-connected. It was sad, but hilarious to watch intelligent, educated conservatives like Bill Buckley and George Will attempt stammering endorsements of this fool - usually translated as, “don’t worry, he’s not as stupid as he seems.” Wrong, guys. After this cretin, too lazy to read more than 2 pages who thinks God directs his every whim, are we really supposed to fear a smart guy who communicates in complete sentences? We tried stupid - it didn’t work.

Again Jim flip-flops…. Just a few weeks ago he was praising Obama…oh! Wait! That’s when Wooten thought Hillary was going to take it!
Sorry, Jim, but being a POW does not qualify anyone for anything except sympathy. His daddy got McCain into a cushy academy just the same way Bush’s daddy got Bush into the National Guard.
Now, as for Rufus…. You can add my mother’s name to the list of people who died under Bill’s administration…of course she was 89 and voted for him twice BUT SHE DIED! IT MUST BE CLINTON’S FAULT!

Ya gotta love it!!
I just got an email from a right wing group complaining about Obama’s voting record.
“And, of course, Barack Obama voted YES on the McCain-Kennedy so-called “comprehensive immigration reform” AMNESTY bill.”
Hello!! Hello!! It’s called the McCAIN-Kennedy ” bill because YOUR candidate WROTE IT.

Rest easy my friends, we’re going to have the Ancient Mariner for at least four years. Within those four years, many young people will die, gas will probably peak at $16.00 a gallon, and the Republicans will find a way to blame it all on Obama and Rev. Wright.
