2008 Election

Ich Bin Ein Beginner, Obama Spews People’s Party Bolshevik

Listen to this…

“Now is the time to join together through constant cooperation and strong institutions and shared sacrifice and a global commitment to progress to meet the challenges of the 21st century.”

Is it suddenly 1917 Petrograd again? Is anyone listening to this? Here’s the translation for those who don’t speak liberal.

“Now is the time to join together through world government and mo’ better of that government. I’ll put America on the stick to sacrifice much more freedom and treasure, and we’ll do our best to weaken America so it can be less intimidating and on equal footing with Europe (and someday the paradise Kenya), to meet the challenges of defeating the formidable patriotic and hard-working folks on the U.S. Right.”

The Sock Puppet is reliving the halucinations from his father (or as best he can remember having spend 1 visit with him). Not sure why he chose to write a book with a title referencing a man he never knew, and by behavior shouldn’t have wanted to.

“This is the moment when we must build on wealth that opens markets have created and share its benefits more equitably.”

I don’t need to break that down for you. Government regulated and enforced wealth redistribution, in plain terms. I’m always surprised when liberals say this out in the open. I’m even more surprised we don’t all pick up rocks. Wake up America, this guy is as scary as they come.

Glenn Beck commented on that last quote as follows…

I’ve always wanted to be able to write music. I can’t write music. I can meet with composers and I can say, you know, I want it to feel like this, I want it to do this, but I cannot write music. Should John Williams share his creativity with me? Should he ‑‑ he’s got a wealth of strong writing ability. Should I force him to share that song writing ability more equitably? That’s his gift. He chooses to use it. I have met people with gifts of music, with gifts of business, with gifts of comedic talent, acting talent, business talent that don’t use it. It’s their loss. Shared prosperity, sharing the benefits more equitably. It goes against everything that America stood for. What we share is an idea and we want that idea to spread and, that is, man is free, man is free to create, man is free to do as he sees fit. That is the only thing that we should be sharing more equitably. We should be sharing it to every corner of the globe. We should be sharing it with everyone who will listen and if you don’t listen, that’s fine. You don’t want freedom, that’s fine. If your people want freedom, we stand with your people. If your people decide they don’t want freedom, they’re happy living under totalitarianism state, they’re happy handing their power back over to a totalitarian guilt of the like they do in Russia, that’s fine, but not here and we’ll continue to share that wealth of that idea that you can be successful, you can be happy, you can be rich, you can be poor, you can have all of the benefits because there is no end to wealth, there is no end to happiness. It is an infinite idea. It’s a never ending idea. It is as vast as the oceans and far beyond. Why should I share the oceans more equitably? There’s enough water in there for all of us. Stop diminishing the size. Stop telling me that the ocean is a pond. It’s not. Get into the water. It’s fine. You might need directions to the beach, but I ain’t putting a fence around that beach just for you. I’m not telling people who have been on that beach and use that beach and get into that water and swim and boat and water‑ski and turn it into energy, I’m not telling those people, no, no, no you can’t because someday these people may need that water brought to them because they can’t go to the beach, they don’t believe in the beach, they just want all the benefits of the beach. The only thing we share is an idea and a love of freedom.

Thanks Glenn. Well put.

Hard to Make Fun of Barry Obama? Nah.

There’s a surprisingly entertaining op-ed in the L.A. (Left Apologist) Times today by Joel Stein, about the wonder boy-nerd. I knew I was going to enjoy this one when he lobs the first volley…

“…comedians have appeared on every news outlet to whine about how hard it is to make fun of Barack Obama. Really? They have an arsenal of jokes to use against a 71-year-old ex-POW cancer survivor and Obama is too touchy a subject?”

There are several really great points, here’s just a few…

He’s A Nerd. …Compare Obama with other 46-year-olds and he’s Urkel. He’s the kid at the Model United Nations conference who says, “Guys, guys, c’mon. Let’s not make fun of Eastern Europe.” And the brutal truth is, even if women faint at your rallies, you’ll never feel cool inside when you have Alfred E. Neuman’s ears.”

He’s ridiculously earnest. …Comedian Marc Maron does a really smart bit about how Obama stares out into the distance while giving a speech. “The first time you see him you’re like, ‘What’s he looking at?’ But then you’re like, ‘I don’t know, but it’s good and full of hope. And he’s the only one who can see it. If we vote for him, maybe he’ll take us there.’ ”

He called his own grandmother a racist. We all have racist grandmothers, but we don’t brag about it to everyone. I like to imagine that his granny wasn’t that bad and that Obama was just super-sensitive. Like she would tell him it was bedtime and he’d yell, “Oh, I have to go to bed because I’m black!” Or she’d tell him to clean up his room and he’d start yelling, “Oh, clean my room, huh? My people stopped obeying the white woman 100 years ago, Grammy!” Then they’d both laugh and she’d whip him.”

I know it’s nit-picky on my part, but I should share my personal favorite of B.O.’s presentation flaws: his hard left, hard right, hard left, hard right head movements while delivering his ethereal speeches (of course ethereal in the insubstantial, not heavenly, meaning). Perhaps it’s in his script.

  1. Look down as if to read from the podium (don’t worry it’s on the teleprompters)
  2. Lift head looking to the hard right, teleprompter #1
  3. Deliver half the sentence
  4. Whip head hard left (with the urgency of change!), pick someone adoring in audience, preferably female (to feed your ego delivery)
  5. Deliver second half of the sentence off of teleprompter #2
  6. Whip head hard right again. Rinse. Repeat.
  7. When finished, be sure to shake hands in the middle to regain folks who got nothing but profiles for 20 minutes

He’s a sock-puppet. Anyway, read the article, not to be missed.

Obama’s Grand Energy Plan…

Here’s the word for word on his latest ad…

On gas prices, John McCain’s part of the problem. He and Bush support a drilling plan that won’t produce a drop of oil for seven years. McCain will give more tax breaks to big oil. He’s voted with Bush 95% of the time. Barack Obama will make energy independence an urgent priority, raise mileage standards, fast-track technology for alternative fuels, a $1,000 tax cut to help families as we break the grip of foreign oil. A royal plan and new energy.

“…Obama will make energy independence an urgent priority…” – Wow, if only it were that simple greenhorn.

“…Raise mileage standards…”

Wow, great idea. Once again, if only it were that simple greenhorn.

“…Fast-track technology for alternative fuels”

What, like ethanol, which practically takes as much energy to produce as it provides? Oh, and that production energy comes from oil because the Left is afraid of nuclear. Make no mistake, I’m ALL about alternative energy and the environment, (that and animal rights are categories on which I tend to agree more with the Left), but stating the generalities makes his clear lack of ideas painfully obvious. And what’s worse, he obviously hasn’t been able to hire anyone with ideas or his rhetoric would eventually present one. Fishing from an empty idea pond…

“…a $1,000 tax cut to help families…”

Throw out one from the Right strategy of lower taxes to seem reasonable and score points, before it counts. They’re so out of ideas that they’re using ones from the Right?

The Left must know their candidate has the same leadership experience, but less street smarts, than his driver, but that bed’s made and that’s the best they could do (giggle). That said, it’s not all that different from the Right. No idea how it happened, but we ended up with the worst of the initial bunch (save Paulson). McCain’s in dire need of someone with some economic savvy and real world experience in the private sector (Romney).

All I know is that as oblivious (i.e. Left) as McCain is on many subjects, he’s significantly less dangerous than the horror of letting a blind-eye to history Soros-sock-puppet pull this country’s pants down.

Obama Would Remove DOMA

Read the article. Scary implications, and consequences far reaching, should the country fall sucker to the empty suit named “change”. One of the scarier passages…

The absence of a federal law could mean that the more than 40 states that have bans — either constitutional or in statute — on same-sex marriage would be required to recognize a homosexual marriage license from another state as a legally binding contract.

And…

“A marriage is valid where it’s performed and valid everywhere, with one exception, if it violates public policy,” said said Lynn Wardle, a law professor at Brigham Young University. “As a political move, this would inevitably mean gay marriage in most states. It’s a step in nationalizing gay marriage” she said.

Obama Truth Squads Suspend Free Speech in MO

Last Tuesday, CBS affiliate Channel 4 TV News in St. Louis reported that some Missouri sheriffs and prosecutors have formed a truth squad to target anyone who engages in misleading ad or statements about Senator Obama.
Here’s the transcript of the lede on the CBS story:
“Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad during the presidential campaign.”
The implied threat in the Channel 4 report is that prosecutors and sheriffs across Missouri will enforce “Missouri ethics laws” and conduct criminal investigations of “anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad” against Barack Obama.  Although the report did not directly state that intent, that implied message was clearly conveyed.
