Real men speak out. Cowards do not. Watch the clip below of McCain and know that Obama has yet to mention Hillary Clinton and repudiate Rev. Pflegger's nasty, sexist, racist, false attack on her. Will Olbermann have a "special comment" on Obama's silence on Monday?
Since the DNC is giving away delegates to people who chose not to be on the Michigan Primary ballot - I would like to say that:
A. As in years past, this year I chose not to be on the Michigan Democratic Primary ballot.
and
B. I would like a Michigan delegate in Denver. I am not greedy. I only want one unearned delegate - not four like Obama. We can go to cocktail parties and vote platform planks like: "Whose better- Obama or Jesus?" or "Should Mystery Date become the official Democratic Party board game?"
Does anyone else who chose not to be on the Michigan Ballot want one, too? I mean I was a Democrat between March of 1981 and June of 2008 - that should get me at least one unearned delegate.
I am leaving the Democratic Party on Monday. I will go to the post office when it opens and re- register. I will send my new registration as an independent to the DNC. I encourage everyone who cares about democracy to do the same.
The DNC debased the entire notion of democracy. All non Clinton votes in Michigan were unilaterally awarded to Obama. The rules committee also awarded Obama 4 of Clinton's delegates.
Let that sink in.
Michigan voters in 2008 you are less than slaves.
Today we witnessed a coup by Stalinist fiends at the DNC.
I only wish I could officially leave the party today.
Pretty much sums it up, no? Obamanation, indeed. Saw this on Capertree and just had to share.
What has happened during this campaign in an Obamanation.
Remember, back in the day, when Senator Clinton won New Hampshire and the boyos at MSNBC were totally taken off guard? Remember Tom Brokaw chastising them? He said, let the voters decide and then report. Those crazy kids, Tweety and Faux Outrage Olbermann didn't listen. Oh, no. Olbermann is even now penning a special comment on Senator Clinton's win in Puerto Rico - HOW DARE YOU WIN?!?! HOW DARE YOU, MADAM?!?!?!
Since I no longer watch Countdown I have no idea if Mr. Olbermann did a special comment on Father Pflegm but I'm kinda sure he didn't. Here's the spin on Pflegm/Wright: Senator McCain was endorsed by Hagge who has also made incendiary comments therefore Obama is innocent and cannot be blamed. Hmmmmnnn. Sure. But did Senator McCain go to Hagge's church for twenty years? Did he funnel dough to him the way Obama did for Pflegm? Not so much.
I was brought up Catholic (don't get me started on guilt - I am the queen) , I left the church after the pedophile business but I have attended a lot of masses in a lot of different places. I have never in my life seen a priest behave the way Pflegm did. It looked as though he grabbed his crotch when speaking of Senator Clinton. I hope I'm wrong but who is he, Michael Jackson?
Watching the congregants react tells me that this is not an isolated incident. Coupled with watching the videos of Wright's sermons (dry humping) it would appear that it is how they roll. It would also mean that there is no way that Senator Obama could not have witnessed any "controversial" sermons.
But the Obamanation stands proud behind their man. He can do no wrong. Just like Randi Rhodes comments were "spot on" according to them, Father Pflegm speaks the truth.
And they wonder why we're not coming back in the fall.
In the beginning there was video tape. and the Tape captured the Word. and the Word was HATE. and the Word sprung from the mouth of a Man. and the Man was Wright.
And try as they might to keep the Tape from the people they could not. After the lands of many caucuses had voted the Tape was seen.
And the Lord Obama appeared distraught because the people cried out Why Lord?Why did you keep this man of hate in your midst?
And the Lord appeared to them and spoke: This man is not a man of hate. You do not understand what goes on in his pulpit.Hate is LoveMocking is ForgivenessInsults are EcstasyEverything you believe about reality is wrong.I am the Light and the Way.
Afterward the Olbermann tribe was first to sing out: YES! YES LORD!Lies are truth! Hate is Love! Division is Unity!
Soon the CNN Tribe, and the Huffington Tribe sang out in praise of the Lord.
And those who knew in their American guts something was still wrong tried to speak but they were called racists and scoundrels and lepers. And so the Arugulas worshipped their Lord in the public square and worshiped St. Marx in secret.
And it came to pass that the Word of Hate was made normal. And the march of the Lord went on as before. The people pulled the wool back over their eyes. And all was well.
I am a Republican. I voted for Bush twice, and I know we disagree on many things. However, that is not the purpose of this email. Instead, I wanted to extend the olive branch of sorts.
In 2007, many of us conservatives held an irrational fear of Hillary. From the start, we looked for a face in the crowd of democratic nominees that could potentially knock her out of the race. Following the Iowa primary, we assumed that Obama would be our guy - until we looked into his past. Obama is a Marxist to the core. His strain is of the same diluted, twisted form that permeates our schools and colleges, propagated by people like Bill Ayers - and Obama. Add to that mix his deeply flawed, cowardly character, and general ineptitude and you have an Obama presidency.
That changed everything.
We came to realize, more slowly than I would have liked, that Hillary was not our enemy. No one would ever accuse her of rampant honesty, but she is to her core an American, and her sheer tenacity is admirable. I'm not a huge fan of either John McCain or Hillary, but both look about as messianic as Obama's supporters imagine Obama to be, when compared to him. Obama is every bit the uniter he claims to be - he's uniting the country against him. Indeed, that is why you are receiving this email.
Hillary supporters, Republicans - we may disagree on many things, but we understand what the problems are. We just reach different solutions. And we can have this conversation civilly, without name-calling and insults. That's the difference between genuine patriots (not to mention decent human beings) and Obama supporters. Bill said it best:
The far left has divided us Americans for too long. They have traditionally sent their vitriol in our direction, but now they seek to devour the very party that took them in. The democrat(ic) leadership tolerated them because of their money. And they have simultaneously caused the reactionary right to, well, react. (I'd like to apologize for Ann Coulter.) The end result has been terrible division. It must end.
This country needs both conservatives and liberals today just as it was founded by conservatives and liberals. When one group fails, the whole country suffers. There is great unity in intelligent, mutually respectful disagreement.
I have left my day job to work for 527's. I will be putting ads on television to spread the truth about Obama. You and I have many disagreements but we have found some important common ground, we are both fighting to protect our country from a madman.
The Lord Joins Our Lady of Perpetual Resentment Temple and Learns the Doctrine of Victimhood
Now after Lord Obama had passed through the land of Crimson He traveled west to the Windy City to organize block parties with cotton candy and Tilt-a-Whirls so that he would be beloved by the makers of the Tilt -a-Whirl and also to paddeth his resume
It was expedient in those days for those who organized the block parties, knitting circles, and community gardens to join the Our Lady of Perpetual Resentment Temple, Staring Jeremiah Wright (as the beaver.)
So the Lord went with the little people to clap and enjoy the nursing of resentments he had no historical connection to since his father was Kenyan and his mother from land of the JayHawk.
In the Temple of Resentment the Lord also learned how to BLAME OTHERS and rename the blaming of others HOPE And this was a good lesson, indeed.
Lord Obama saw how the mentor Wright encouraged people to laugh and be angry and remain immobilized all at the same time. And this was a good lesson, indeed.
And the Lord saw how the Temple made learned helplessness FUN For Mentor Wright dry humped the pulpit and told tall tales and called people names and his gathered masses laughed and felt special. And this was a good lesson, indeed.
And the Lord Obama learned it is important to pass resentment and victimization onto the young. So when he, the Chosen One, preaches Hope and Change They will fall for it Hooketh, line, sinker. For Lord Obama this was the most important lesson of all.
And after every lesson he learned at Our Lady of Perpetual Resentment Temple, Lord Obama went out back behind the dumpster for to smoketh.
Obama is not guilty by association with the vicious ministers at his church. The vipers who call themselves Christian ministers at Obama's church have every right to spew, mock, and behave like tin pot dictators. There is no crime in what gets preached in that church.
However, Obama can and should be judged by his chosen associations.
"Rev" Pfleggers frothing excrement from the pulpit of the church were Obama tithes is another example of a fiend welcomed in Obama's entourage. Welcomed that is until they are caught on tape. Then Obama shit cans them. Power is all that matters to Obama.
From Ayres the bomber - his employer of 8 years - stomping on the American flag to this bozo in the clip posted below mocking Senator Clinton like a high school cafeteria bully...well...at what point do we say - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. You cannot tell everything about a man by the company he keeps. But you can tell quite a bit.
Obama is still a member of that church. It is clear, based on the adulation of the new minster, that what Pfleggers said Sunday was the norm there, not an exception. There is no other way to put this: Obama is a liar if he says it is NOT normal behaviour at his church to hump the pulpit and scream screed about victimization. Pflegger stood proud in Obama's chosen church pulpit and implored his audience to indulge in a cannibalistic ritual of disempowerment.
We can and must judge Obama by the company he keeps. We can and must do whatever we can legally to stop Obama from gaining power. Should the worst happen - we must stand guard, watch, and be ready to oppose. My opinion - based on observations of the disappeared media, of blogs like Kos-Co, the behavior of Obama's campaign, the bizarre and inexplicable behaviour of many of the super delegates, and the DNC - that underneath the surface froths a deep hatred of democratic values - a desire to shut the opposition up - and a desire not to win power, but to seize it.
I have said all along that the Obama phenomenon is dangerous. As Clinton rolls to a popular vote victory and Obama is anointed the nominee it becomes more clear that Obama will do anything to win. Anything.
We all must exit the Democratic Party. I encourage every reader to re-register as an Independent or Green or whatever suits you - and to inform the DNC you've left. I will do it between June 1 and 6. I was torn and unhappy about taking this action. I no longer am. The Democratic party is dead.
All thoughtful people have a moral duty to oppose BarackObama. This clip below is so repellent I could only watch it once. How the IRS has not stripped Obama's church of tax exempt status - I do not know. I suspect Obama will resign this church now. Do not be fooled. These are the people who advise him. These are the people he will bring to the White House. Obama and his family CHOSE this church for 20 years. HE AGREES WITH THIS CHURCH.The minister preaching hate here is a "spiritual advisor" to Obama. It's on his web site.
Are we going to allow the product of such moral pollution into the White House?
Imagine this man who is preaching at Trinity- when not mocking the former First Lady - calls himself a "Christian". I'd like to take this "Christian" into a room - and only I come out - to quote Keith Olbermann.
So it came to pass in those days that the land of the Patriots chose a new leader whose name was Patrick. Patrick's words had given hope to many.
The apostle Axlerod knew Patrick's words and he went to the Lord Obama and gave him the same words for to sooth the Arugula Tribe and make them like Sheep
But Axlerod worried that the Lord would be accused of word theft. And then Lord Obama was accused of word thievery by a two bit tobacco chewing racist named Cracker McHick
But the Lord said: Be not afraid of the racists. I have not stolen Patrick's words. I riff with my brothers.
And many at a gathering asked what is 'riff ' Lord?
And the Lord said: Listen to this allegory. And while the gathered Arugulas sipped upon their Lattes and Carmel Macchiatos and nibbled Tofurky Weiners a top the hoods of their Priuses the Lord said:
"The Lord must be allowed to steal words. I am a busy Lord and can't be expected to come up with new speeches all the time. Obey me and do not question."
A curious disciple said - But Lord that is not an allegory. It is merely 3 sentences.
Then the Lord's eyes became like slits and he said: Respect my AuthoraTAY! Hope! Change! I am the Alpha and the Beta. Hope! Change! Changey Hopey Change! Change-o- Hope- o- Rama! Hopeish! Change a lish us! Hopetastic!
The Lord went on repeating variations of Hope and Change until the apostles rolled a blunt and became Fade-eth.
It is disturbing to be a liberal now. I make no excuses when I say this - 2008 has made me feel old. Watching the political party you've been a member of for 28 years self immolate in order to ensure the election of a Republican will do that to a man. I make no bones about calling the neo-liberal Obama Democrats what I truly believe they are: delusional corportatists who don't care a bit about the disempowered in this society. When someone finally analyzes all the money that has changed hands in the Obama campaign the truth will finally be known. "Change" to the Obama cultists means wholesale dismissal of two thirds of the working class. When working class African- Americans realize they have voted for a New Aristocracy that is in essence the same as the Old Aristocracy, and against there own best interests - they, too, will bolt Obama's fragile coalition. It is Hillary Clinton who represents true change this year. Those with the least of everything - power, money, a voice in the process, have been represented by her not the toastmaster from Illinois. Obama has polluted the core and essence of Democratic Party values. Oh what fools these Arugulas be.
When I call myself a liberal I mean - for lack of a better term on Wednesday night - a New Deal liberal. My co blogger Lynne distilled it perfectly in a post a while ago: We believe that everyone must take responsibility for themselves, and that we are responsible for each other. What makes me a liberal still is the second half of Lynne's phrase. In an industrial and post industrial capitalist democracy the government on all levels has a limited obligation to try to level the playing field. When Obama has had the chance to improve the lives of people he has often balked. When Obama has had the chance in the U.S. Senate to stand up against the war - he has cowered. Obama is not a liberal. He is not a progressive. He is a fraud. Exhibit A:
Retired Princeton Geology professor Ken Deffeyes created a fascinating chart re: oil production and oil price. See it here. It's only 2 weeks old but already out of date - (he cuts off the price at $120 per barrel. Oil closed today at $130.03).
From Deffeyes: "We hit "peak oil" - also called "Hubbert's peak," - a geological limitation to the oil supply in the ground. With no additional supplies, a bidding war began in 2005 over the remaining oil in the ground. This is not a news story that goes away after a month."
Professor Deffeyes's books "Beyond Oil" and "Hubbert's Peak", along with Cal Tech physics professor David Goodstein's "Out of Gas", may be the most blunt, sober , and scientific books out there about the fix we are in.
What's the difference between a George W. Bush supporter in 2000/2004 and an Obama supporter?
Nothing.
It doesn't matter what he does he is forgiven. It doesn't matter what he says, he mispoke. Nothing matters except with Bush it was, he's a great guy, I'd like to have a beer with him and with Obama it's he gives me hope, he's a new kind of politician, he was a great community organizer.
He's supposed to be so intelligent (as are his supporters) but he couldn't figure out how not to run ads in Florida before our primaries (breaking his pledge not to campaign here) with his National Ad Buy. I wonder, how many national ads had he bought before Florida and how many since? He couldn't get the name of the camp right that his Uncle liberated. He said his grandfather had buddies who talked about liberating Auschwitz. Really?
Was saying his uncle liberated Auschwitz a ploy to get the Jewish vote? Was it just he hasn't read any history? Or watched the History Channel? Is it the only camp he knows?
The "journalists" who covered the Memorial Day speech initially just reported what he said. If he said it it must be true! Doesn't he look hot in jeans? William Ayers is just a neighbor! Rezko? Who's Rezko?
We've been called racist, white, poor, uneducated, tobacco chewing idiots because we don't support the great one. We're stupid yet I knew that the Red Army were the ones who liberated Auschwitz. Then again, I watched all of Shoah.
We've had seven years of a President who doesn't know history. Can we survive another four?
And many had gathered to see the Lord Obama in the towns with colleges and other Places of the Smug Ones.
So it came to pass that the apostle Axelrod brought with him the fainting women and said to them: Go to the front and fainteth so that the Lord may ask if you are alright and impresseth the many with his love for the little peeps.
Then the Lord will bring you Evian from the Backstage - from whence HE emerges and you fainting women will be blessed all the days of your lives.
And the women went out and fainted on cue for the Lord Obama. And Obama looked GOOD and KIND. And gave many leg tingles all the day long.
Sorry to say I have had to put comment moderation back up. Tonight another thinly veiled threat of physical harm to me was posted from an Obama cultist. Please keep talking. I will post comments as quickly as possible after they are made.
The intellectual rational for tradition liberals and policy oriented progressives to work FOR the defeat of Barrack Obama in November are put forth beautifully here- by Bud White. ( A name I admit to being unable to resist noting - as his piece is about the Kos-Co wing of the Democratic Party's attempt to cleanse the party of lower class whites.) Please read it. The Arugulas are now all but admitting that an "ethnic cleansing" of the party is under way. Working class whites and Latinos are no longer wanted or welcome.
My on going derision of the Latte Wing of the party gets a big boost from Obama cultist Chris Bowers:
There should be a major cultural shift in the party, where the southern Dems and Liebercrat elite will be largely replaced by rising creative class types. Obama has all the markers of a creative class background, from his community organizing, to his Unitarianism, to being an academic, to living in Hyde Park to shopping at Whole Foods and drinking PBR. These will be the type of people running the Democratic Party now, and it will be a big cultural shift from the white working class focus of earlier decades.
Good God. Can you imagine? DNC meetings with Starbucks breaks to watch The Actors Studio on Bravo, and thumb through latest Vanity Fair.
Bowers is such a stereotype that he even uses shopping at Whole Foods as a marker for what the party should be. Pathetic. Any unreconstructed liberal who believes that progressives should be at the vanguard of ensuring a fair shake for the middle and lower classes has what amounts to a moral duty to oppose Obama. What Ducky at Kos-Co and Howard Dean want is nothing less than for the Democrats to be an Information Age Corporatist party. Rather like the GOP but based in the Hamptons and Brentwood - instead of Dallas and Kennebunkport.
The weakest members of our society are officially being thrown to the wolves by the Obama cabal. Voters in state after state have woken up to this fact and run from Obama. Nevertheless, the "creative class" wants its man. In order to salvage the Democratic Party thoughtful liberals are left no choice but to vote for McCain in November. With an Obama loss we can flush the wretched interlopers from our midst.
Obama is a national embarrassment. Tapper has the list of the most recent Obama gaffes here. He is the Democratic Party's George W. Bush. Without a teleprompter Obama is a buffoon.
The two bit, brain dead, destructive American media is letting him slide on all counts. No wonder the Child of Wright called out Lou Dobbs by name. Dobbs is the only anchor on either CNN or MSNBC willing to take on Obama. It is sickening. The on going malfeasance of the MSM is both molding opinion in contradiction to reality - and stoking fury amongst those who still believe a republic should have a viable Fourth Estate.
Given how obnoxious the media was to Clinton about the RFK remark - how about you bozo Obama ass kissers at CNN (except Lou Dobbs) and MSNBC go after THE LORD OBAMA for this Whopper:
Ya know why the media won't hold Obama to account for this despicable piece of campaign trash talk - lying about the Holocaust to get votes - ???
Because they are wussy cowards beholden to the same lobbyists and Big Corporations that have paid this jackasse's way all along.
Even his body language telegraphs he's bullshitting.
The Soviets liberated Auschwitz.
OLBERMANN WHERE'S THE SPECIAL COMMENT NOW? - You cowardly little wuss.
A reading from the Obama Scriptures for May 27, 2008.
From The Book of Michelle Chapter 66 Verse 6
The fish sticks of Change and the wonder loaves of Hope.
And so Obama went to the land of the Palmetto with Oprah the Baptist.
The large crowd gathered for to hear the free concert and eat the fish sticks of Change and the Wonder loaves of Hope.
Obama spoketh as they do in southern twangeth to help the gathered Southern speakers to understand.
The Lord sayeth: "You can choose to love and obey me or choose to be called a racist across the land in divers places, such as MSNBC and the Whole Foods Produce Section! These are your choices! I am the Lord! Obey me or there will be no Latte!"
Then the Lord danceth badly for a moment in order that the People of the Cracker in the audience felt the Lord knew them, too. For Lord Obama loveth all his sheep.
When this endless campaign began I was excited about our options for the Democratic nominee. I was proud that our choices included a woman, a Latino and an African-American. I liked that the stage didn't look like an all white country club.
I thought Bill Richardson would be great until I saw him debate. He was scatty Cathy.
I never really cared for John Edwards but I really like his wife.
I have great respect for Senator Biden and could never understand the lack of coverage on him. Had we done what he recommended in Iraq we would be out of the mess we're in now.
I was interested in Senator Dodd.
I was interested in Senator Obama because I really liked his speech at the Democratic convention in 2004 and his stance on Darfur.
Gravel & Kucinich - what can you say?
I wasn't sure about Senator Clinton. I thought she was too divisive.
The endless attacks on Senator Clinton has changed my mind. I have watched her handle more garbage than any other candidate has had chucked at him. She has proved to me that she can more than handle the job as Commander in Chief.
I am not voting for her because she is a woman. Nancy Pelosi is a woman and I cannot abide her. I believe that Senator Clinton is the most capable candidate in the race. We've got huge problems coming down the pike (peak oil) and whoever is our next President is going to have to make tough choices. Voting "present" will not fly.
The more I looked at Senator Obama the less I liked. He has run a dirty campaign. He has stolen speeches from his pal. He has unsavory connections. He went to a racist church for twenty years. He won't debate. His record in the Illinois State Senate is spotty at best. Community Organizer is not a qualification for President. His arrogance is bigger than his resume which is the only thing thinner than him.
The press has fallen in love with Senator Obama and have questioned him less than they did the reasons for the Iraq war.
So, we have been pretty clear on this blog that we do not support Obama.
The pro-Obama supporters come over here and try to hold my uterus above my head as a reason to vote for him should he get the nomination. (Odd visual) What they forget is that being Pro-Choice means that I get to choose whom I vote for and it won't be Obama. They tell me I'm not a Democrat. I was, but the persistent yapping telling me I can't be has forced me to become an Independent. No big tent here.
We're told that Senator Obama can win without us. Let's see him try.
"The public, and especially the mainstream media, misunderstands the "Peak oil" story. It's not about running out of oil. It's about the instabilities that will shake the complex systems of daily life as soon as the global demand for oil exceeds the global supply. These systems can be listed concisely: The way we produce food The way we conduct commerce and trade The way we travel The way we occupy the land The way we acquire and spend capital And there are others: governance, health care, education and more."
So many holidays have been a fixed around weekends to create an excuse to shop that many tend to forget what the day is actually about. "Presidents' Day" chaps my ass every year. Washington and Lincoln have had their birthdays stripped from the national calender and compressed into one three day weekend...If a country can't set aside one day for its first President and one for the President who saved it.... ugh... Presidents' Day makes me too angry to think about. And another thing - not one day for a WOMAN all year??? Susan B Anthony? Harriet Tubman? not one day...
To the point:
Memorial Day is important because it is specifically set aside to honor those who died in war. Like the national day of Thanksgiving - it comes out of the civil war. Whatever else you do today I hope you give over a moment of prayer, silence, devotion, or however else you may express solemn gratitude, to those who died in service.
