It Has Already Begun

Filed Under Campaigns | 1 Comment

Folks, Rush called it.

He predicted an Obama win would usher in a new Chicago gangland-style thugocracy. Most people won’t want to hear it, and will refuse to believe it or will call it crazy talk. Nevertheless, the two thugs in the video below are Obama supporters. These are the kind of people that Obama has befriended over the last 20 years, and the kind of people that are attracted to his campaign.

These are people who have not voted before because only white people were running. These are people who are not afraid to use violence to get what they want.

Don’t misunderstand me–these are not the only kind of people that Obama brings in. But the fact that people like this feel at home with Obama is very troubling.

A Letter From A Friend

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections, Socialism | 1 Comment

My good friend Nathan Walker has penned an eloquent warning against voting for Obama.

I think it deserves a wider reading, and with his blessing I am posting it here.

Hi XXXXX,

I have followed some of the political dialog back and forth between you and several friends, and have decided, until now, to stay out of the political discussion. (I had intended to write an article called something like “The Top 5 Reasons I WON’T Be Voting for Obama,” but I ran out of time.)

I have been concerned, surprised, and disappointed with the rancor of some of the posts–on both sides. Such things ought not to be. Feeling passionately about something usually means one can advocate and defend a position on principles, not simply spew forth bitter diatribes against those with whom he or she disagrees.

When you and I awake tomorrow, we will have opportunity, if not already taken, to vote. I feel I have a moral obligation, as a matter of both citizenry and religion, to vote for those who will oppose Socialism in any form, and oppose the denigration and destruction of the family, the advocacy of gay marriage, the removal of religion from public life, and the taking of life by abortion. All other issues are secondary. All foreign policy disputes, financial crises, and energy disputes can be resolved by an understanding of, and return to, the principles clearly delineated in the inspired Constitution, and other explanatory supporting documents.

To vote for ANY candidate as a punishment for the real or perceived crimes of his predecessor is naive in the extreme. Those who sow the seeds of “voting against” may reap the bitter harvest of “stuck with.”

I have spoken several times over the past few weeks with members of my faith who say they think socialism is a viable, even preferable system to our current social and economic systems. However, this denotes a lack of understanding. Wise leaders and prophets, especially throughout the past century, have warned strongly and repeatedly about the grave dangers of socialism in any form. Recent warnings have been stronger and more frequent. All who profess to follow a prophet have an obligation to be familiar with their words as they pertain to this issue.

I urge you to watch the two video clips by Ezra Taft Benson you’ll find linked from this page: http://www.conservativefront.com/2008/11/02/ezra-taft-benson-on-socialism/. There may be information there that you have not yet considered.

Any candidate who says he or she will “make things all better,” whether through universal health care, “redistribution of wealth,” social programs for the poor, or any “fairness doctrine,” are singing the same tune sung by another, eons ago, when he said; “… I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.” (Moses 4:1). True equality is agency–the power to choose freely. The enemy of equal opportunity is egalitarianism–equality of outcome. Beware any who set this heresy forth as the American Dream.

It is not.

I admire your conviction and loyalty. I am not thrilled with either of the two major candidates. One of them, however, has consistently and openly declared his support for, and determination to enact, policies in opposition to truth and liberty; policies which reinforce socialism, abortion, gay marriage, removal of religion from public life, intrusive and coercive environmental policies, and redistribution of wealth. I cannot, in good conscience, support such a candidate.

I urge you, and all who read this post, to consider carefully, without bitterness for the mistakes of past leaders, and without the naivete that assumes any change is for the better. Then choose. You are, after all, free. Choose the person most likely to help keep you so.

Your faithful friend,

Nathan

Personally, I believe that voting for Obama because “he’s better than Bush” is a fool’s errand. Nathan says it much better than I would.

Palin Vindicated

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment

The AP carried a story tonight concerning Sarah Palin and the “troopergate” probe. Of course Mrs. Palin was completely exonerated of all charges. In fact, she was not only exonerated, the state personnel board found that there was “no probable cause to believe that the governor, or any other state official, violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with these matters.”

The Democrats should probably find another method of winning elections. The politics of personal destruction that Bill Clinton introduced may work the first few times, but eventualy the people will clue in to those tactics. They may one day find mobs armed with pitchforks at their collective doors.

Alaskan authorities ought to prosecute Stephen Branchflower for ethics violations. Branchflower is the Democratic legislator who insisted on the investigation, and was obviously paid off by the state trooper around whom this story revolves. At the very least he ought to be unseated for attempting to interfere with an election.

Tonight, all the idiots who used this as evidence of Palin’s unsuitability are eating crow. And they should be.

Hope For America

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment

Most of the polls today show a very close race between Barak Obama and John McCain. But polls often are misleading, especially in the few days prior to the election.

One case in point is the primary race between Chris Cannon and Jason Chaffetz. Polling showed Chaffetz trailing Cannon by two points prior to the election. Then Chaffetz came back and walloped Cannon by 20 percentage points in the final results.

That may not happen in the general election, but then again…we can hope.

The AP hates Joe

Filed Under Campaigns, Economy, Elections, Socialism | 1 Comment

I called it. Here is the second story about Joe Wurzelbacher, only this time they are questioning whether he actually is a plumber. Well, that’s what they want you to think anyway. In truth, though the headline questions it, they never actually answer the question they raise. They just want you to think they have. They want you to think he’s a plant.

The truth will come out, and it embarrass the crap out of the AP, or it should. Being the AP seems to have lost all shame, all bets are off.

Again, in the grand scheme of things, this story shouldn’t even be published. It’s a non-story and whether or not Joe has a license to practice plumbing has no bearing on who wins the election–unless, of course, you really are afraid for Barak Obama after he admitted to socialist tendencies…

GOP Challenges ACORN Registrations

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment

A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a GOP challenge to the Ohio Secretary of State’s election policies, which included not fully verifying voter registrations made in the last several months. The spokesman for the Ohio GOP also complained that Secretary Brunner had not provided a way for election officials to act on questionable registrations in a timely manner.

Brunner’s refusal to act on this matter leaves questions as to her impartiality, especially in light of the recent problems with voter registrations submitted by ACORN.

ACORN=Obama

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment

Barak Obama has tried hard to distance himself from ACORN, but there’s no getting away from the reality of his intimate associations with the community organizing group.

He has been recorded bragging about his work for and with ACORN. He was on the board of directors for Chicago Woods Funds, a major contributor to ACORN, with Bill Ayers, a noted terrorist. And Obama’s current campaign gave $800,000 to ACORN for a get-out-the-vote project.

Obama: “I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

That kind of campaigning reeks of corruption. You give a big wad of cash to a group so they can go out and get people to vote, and you expect me to believe that you aren’t paying for those votes? Non-partisan, my elbow! One branch of ACORN or another has been in the news for voter fraud nearly every year of this century, and it’s always fraud that would favor the Democrat. How is that non-partisan?!

ACORN should be disbanded, it’s leadership rounded up and thrown in jail, and legislation MUST be passed to prevent these groups from ever existing again. If you want a community organization, great. Go to it. But voting is a personal, private, non-community type of thing. Voter privacy shouldn’t be messed with. I even have difficulty justifying campaign volunteers giving poor or older voters rides to the polling stations. It just doesn’t sit right.

By the way, the election is only three weeks away. Obama must NOT win. His politics are bad for any country, and especially antithetical to what America is. Get registered, and go vote!

How Bad Is Joe Biden?

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment

Read Ann Coulter’s column from this past Thursday. She’s listed all the details.

In summary, it’s hard to find something Biden said in the VP debate that was correct. Some of his new gaffes are really monumental.

What, you don’t like Ann’s acerbic wit? Her razor-sharp tongue? Get over it for a few minutes and go read the facts. This is more important than your fine sensibilities.

This AP story on last night’s debate claims Sarah Palin lost.

However, knowing the question helps you understand how the polls really operate.

Great work, Baloo.

Barak Obama Is A Villain

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | 2 Comments

Glenn Beck interviewed David Freddoso, author of a new book called The Case Against Barak Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate. If you didn’t get a chance to hear it the first time, you can read the transcript here. Here’s an excerpt:

FREDDOSO: Barbara Boxer had stood up and said, “I support this bill, everyone should vote for this bill.” Obama voted against it and that puts him on the very fringes when it comes to issues of human life at its very beginning.

GLENN: So wait a minute. He is Barbara Boxer was on the other side of this issue?

FREDDOSO: Yes, that’s right. Hillary Clinton was also on the other side. The vote was 98 0 and the two guys who weren’t there to vote were pro life Republicans. So basically every abortion proponent in the United States Senate is more protective of human life in its early stages than Senator Obama.

I am now horrified at the thought of this evil man becoming President of this country. He is not just mistaken; he is not just misguided or wrongheaded. There is no other valid description of Barak Obama than evil. Yes, that sounds terribly partisan and maybe unfair. But go read the transcript and see of you don’t agree with me afterwards. No-one with any sense of right and wrong could make the conscious decisions Obama has made in his political career and be called “simply misguided.”

The man or woman who takes up the mantle of the President of the United States must be prepared to “preserve and defend the Constitution,” which includes in the preamble our national intent to “secure the blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity…”

In plain terms, the Founders recognized the Rights of the millions of the unborn that would follow after them; the Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Our President must defend this. He must not be of the opinion that we can leave our babies to die, unloved and alone on a cold, metal slab in a medical supply closet, with only a blanket for companionship in their few moments of life. The man who serves in our highest office must be a man of the highest feelings and nobility towards his fellow man. Not one who so indifferently disposes of our most helpless citizens as a “punishment” for a mistake, or relief from inconvenience.

Having lost a child within this past year, my soul is inflamed with passion against this great evil. I held my beautiful, precious daughter in my arms as her death approached, prepared to give everything I had if I could stop it. I am offended that anyone would consider me part of that same family of beings who, were they in that situation, would turn away and leave that little one to die without even a tear shed for her loss. Yet, so it is.

I am left wondering, saddened and angered, at how the human mind can become so twisted and perverse as this, the heart so bereft of that natural affection which should dwell there. The President must not be of this low quality. Beyond the beautiful speeches and lofty rhetoric, he must be greater than most of us in his mind, and the “servant of all” in his heart. Barak Obama is neither.
