....and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The more hatred is thrown at her, the more curious people get, and the more they realize the type of smear job is being perpetrated by the Democratic party and their hand puppets in the MSM.
Dr. Laura:
I’m stunned - couldn’t the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn’t want a “mature” woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age. But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?
Hmm...why not ask Joe Biden, whose wife was killed in a car accident that left his two sons seriously injured and motherless, yet was "...persuaded not to resign in order to care for them"?
But really, who are we fooling here? The Boston Herald informs us that a woman's candidacy is not about her qualifications, it's about her looks:
With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band.
“It’s about 20 years out of date,” said Boston stylist Mario Russo of the Alaska governor’s ’do. “Which goes to show how off she might be on current events.”
The Dallas Morning News is on board:
Who the heck told her to wear something that low cut? Does that really say "conservative?"
Then I noticed that it wasn't really cleavage, it was a poorly placed nude-colored stripe at the top of her dress. Other people across the blogosphere thought she was giving away the farm, too, so I'm not alone.
Nice excuse - I guess because everyone else jumped off the bridge, you are vindicated for doing the same. Personal and professional responsibility at its best...
The New York Daily News, abandoning its once middle-ground position and shifting harder and harder to the left, puts her picture and headline on today's front page screaming "Selling Sarah: Country Split on Her Credentials ".
While trumpeting the poll that claims only 42% say she is ready to lead, they bury deeper in the article results that show " 50% - have a favorable first impression of the moose-hunting governor of Alaska, compared with 37% who view he runfavorably. "
'Cause that's not the story they want out there.
They have also been kind enough to provided us with a Sarah Palin Scandal Watch, in order to keep us abreast of the latest lies cooked up by the rabid dogs of the liberal blogosphere -lies which they are eager to reprint and rehash, of course. And that page about the Barack Obama/Bill Ayers connection? Gee, it must have expired...
And the News' selection of "Letters to the Editor" today was practically Times-like in its choir of "amens" - 9 anti-Republican/anti-Palin letters, and zero letters of support.
Guess they need to put lie to that 50% approval rating....well, what else would you expect from a newspaper that moves New York's most-loathed sports columnist to the front pages to help out in the attack? Listen to how local boob Mike Lupica first describes the Palin pick:
....the people who have hijacked the last couple of presidential campaigns and have now clearly hijacked John McCain as well show how desperate the times are for them by selecting Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as McCain's running mate, someone McCain knew about as well as an online date.
McCain isn't being some kind of edgy, independent maverick here. Are you kidding? The whole thing is cynical and transparent and even sad. McCain looks bought and paid for by the same elements of his party that he is supposed to be running against as much as he runs against Obama. He uses Gov. Palin and lets his party use him at the same time. The polling on Obama must have them more scared than the new hurricane.
Ah, look at those polls lately, Lupica? Nah, it's that whole "pesky facts" issue again that the Daily News is trying to steer clear of. Lupica's close gives it away, as he vents West-of-the Hudson bile and ascribes to the Republicans his (and his employer's) true feeling about the American public:
I am in a taxi yesterday and the driver, a young African-American student, is listening to Gov. Pawlenty and Tom Brokaw on "Meet the Press," listening to Pawlenty talk about what a "maverick" McCain still is by picking Palin from Alaska, or maybe the moon.
"They still think enough of the country is stupid," the kid said.
The Republicans do, and why not? It's been working for them.
Nice.

Obama's Spiritual Twin
OK, we've been all-Sarah-Palin-all-the-time lately; time for a quick (and I mean quick) break before we head back to our regularly scheduled program....
I found this on my favorite French blog, E-nough!; it is dated August 12th but I must have missed it....it goes back to those heady early days of the Russian-Georgian War; as French President Nicolas Sarkozy traveled to Moscow to attempt to negotiate a way out of the "Caucasus Conflict".
Ah, a good try there Nic, but a bit wide right....
Anyway - as Sarkozy was en route to attempt some "Obamaplomacy", French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner gave an interview to Georgian radio, one in which he offered up the most stunning statement of moral equivalence this blogger has ever read:
'It is a war of bombing and mortars,' Kouchner said. 'There have already been numerous civilian casualties.' He refrained, however, from condemning the latest Russian bombing. M. Kouchner:
"I condemn, I can no longer hear both sides."
Kouchner will find much to talk about with young Obama, should he ascend to the throne he feels so rightfully is his. For Kouchner's diplomatic stylings will soon be indistinguishable from our own...

Sarah Palin: Banned by Oprah?
As per Drudge:
Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket...
"Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on," an insider explains. "Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama."
One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!
Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography....
Oprah and executive producer Sheri Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama's campaign, refused requests for comment.
Well, if the Democrats ever get their "Fairness Doctrine", Oprah is going to have to book the likes of Palin, by government decree. Sucker!!
Well, The Daytime Queen is now exposed as just another MSM whore, on her knees in front of the Messiah, and it seems as if even her viewers know it. Over at Volokh, they do the research, and to me it seems to point out that the media isn't even bothering to "spin" anymore, they are just outright lying to protect The Undeserving One:
If one compares Palin’s speech to Obama’s, it appears to me that they used similar amounts of sarcasm (not much), but Obama made considerably more extensive negative comments about McCain and Republican administrations than Palin did about Obama and Democrats. Palin’s negative comments, however, were on balance funnier, better written, and more pointed than Obama’s.
Jim adds:
By continuing to spread false memes about the nature of Sarah Palin's speech as if they were true, the press marches forward in the most biased season of political reporting I've seen since at least 1998.
With the race a virtual tie, in polling done before McCain's speech, you know this is going to get way, way uglier in the next sixty days. Can the media pull itself back from the brink?
It may be too late for Us magazine; apparently thousands are cancelling their subscriptions to Jan Wenner’s weekly celeb rag over its “Babies, Lies & Scandals” cover slamming Sarah Palin:
I’m hearing it’s 5,000, maybe more,” says one well-placed source in the industry. Another source claimed that as many as 10,000 readers have already cancelled their subscriptions....
When Us went to print Monday night, it looked like the ticket was falling apart," says one magazine editor. “They went to print thinking Palin was dead in the water, and their mistake was thinking everyone who reads "Us" is a Democrat, when they’re not.
A mistake, I believe, that is being repeated ad naseum....

How that Sarah Palin bashing actually worked out....
We asked that question, quite tounge-in-cheek, yesterday.
Today we have the answer, with tounge no longer firmly implanted in cheek, but with jaw wide open:
The Associated Press reports that, counting PBS, over 40 million Americans watched Sarah Palin on television last night--more, by around two million, than saw Barack Obama in Denver.
A big shout-out and special thanks to the asswipes on the liberal blogs, and to their lapdogs in the mainstream media who couldn't wait to reprint and rebroadcast their hatred and lies.
We couldn't have gotten the message out without you!

Little Known Fact
.....Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point North.
Todd Palin knows these facts, and more:
"If I’d had a crystal ball a few years ago, I might have asked a few more questions when Sarah decided to join the PTA. It wouldn’t have mattered, though; when my wife starts talking about reform, corruption and making government work for the people, it’s just best to get out of the way."

So how's that Sarah Palin bashing working out for you now?
A tour de force last night from the Lady Up North, who gained legions of fans and made fools of the media in one fell swoop. From Roger Simon:
In all my years writing movies, going to drama school, etc., I have almost never seen anything so dramatic. It was the rebirth of Frank Capra for our times - Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington. This woman is a star and a star of the American kind we have not seen for years. She really is born live from a Capra movie, from the days Hollywood told stories about the greatness of our country. I don’t agree with her about with her about everything but so what? I don’t agree with anybody about everything except, luckily for me, my wife. But Sarah Palin is a force of nature.
The big losers tonight are obvious: Joe Biden, who will look like hackopathropus erectus next to her, a dinosaur out the Washington everybody hates, and Hillary Rodham Clinton who, I would bet anything, was staring at her television set in horror tonight at the possible first woman president of the United States - and it’s not her!
Mark Steyn gives credit where credit is due:
I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin - whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin - as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn't worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.
How's that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your "devoted husband John Edwards" routine?
Barack Obama, welcome to your nightmare.....
And more and more facts about Sarah Palin are coming to light:
-The diamonds in Sarah Palin’s earrings were crushed with her very hands.
-Glasses sales are up 150 percent since Sarah palin became nominee.
-It’s not over until Sarah Palin says it’s over.
More reasons to fear Sarah Palin are here....

Palin and the Jews
Look at the window; notice the little flag that Governor Palin has stuck there.....
Another reason for the media's fear and loathing of Sarah Palin....can she actually pull a few Jewish votes off of the Obama bandwagon?
And yet another reason for the Demcrats, they of the anti-semitic dog whistle, to fear and loathe Ms. Palin as well.
And yet another display of her refreshing honesty, and "newness" - she doesn't need to have an Israeli flag in her office; the Jewish population of Alaska is negligible, and it is unlikely she has any fundraisers among the big-time Jewsih groups that she feels she must impress.
No, the flag is there because she believes in the nation of Israel, and its rightousness. And I believe this woman with a penchant for automatic weapons will do everything in her power to protect this tiny nation, unlike a certain other party that cannot wait to throw it under the grinding gears of the Arab bus....
OK, OK, so I have a bit of a crush going on here. But loving Sarah Palin is...."Right"!
"Sneering" at Sarah Palin
Gee, a slightly less-than-positive response to the Sarah Palin VP pick by the Left and their lapdogs in the mainstream media, huh?
The Wall Street Journal has it diagnosed right today:
Even as the Obama camp ponders how best to handle John McCain's veep pick of Sarah Palin, the high priests and priestesses of the media have marked her as an apostate. The Beltway class is in full-throated rebellion against a nondomesticated conservative who might pose a threat to their coronation of Barack Obama and the return of Camelot-on-the-Potomac...
They want a VP to be a kind of parliamentary choice, someone they have already vetted, someone who's made them laugh with insider jokes at the Gridiron dinner...
What's really going on here is that the Beltway class can see how popular the Palin pick is with Republicans outside Washington, and especially with middle-class conservatives....
And what the WSJ does not say (but should) to that last point is, "...so they are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at her in order to stop her ascent in middle-America's consciousness". That "everything" includes sexism and regionalism, which I am just now learning is a hate crime when used against Democrats, but fine and dandy as a weapon against Republican women.
Over at The Plank, there is fair warning posted to the Democrats:
She's just a small town mayor, just a hockey mom, just a beauty pageant queen. Palin has never shunned these belittling monikers, in part, I imagine, because the camouflage has served her so well. Soothed by the litany, her opponents tend to sleep too late, sneer too much, and forget who it is that hires them.
....what the Democrats seem poised to miss now--is that she is a true political savant; a candidate with a knack for identifying the key gripes of the populace and packaging herself as the solution. That keen political nose has enabled her to routinely outperform her resume. Nearly two years into her administration, she still racks up approval ratings of 80 per cent or better.
But in probing this candidate, it would behoove the Democrats and the pundits to shed the notion that they are dealing with some dimwitted bumpkin (Dan Quayle seems to come up a lot lately) who’s going to start crying when they ask her to name the president of Azerbaijan; or that Palin is the townie who was brought into the Skull & Bones initiation night for the amusement of all; or that somehow the prom queen ballots got mixed up with the Alaska gubernatorial poll. Trivialize her at your own peril.
Sarah Palin is a living reminder that the ultimate source of political power in this country is not the Kennedy School or the Davos Summit or an Ariana Huffington salon; even now, power emanates from the electorate itself. More precisely, power in 2008 emanates from the working class electorates of Pennsylvania and Ohio...
The media is going to be faced with its disconnect shortly: Bash Sarah for "inexperience", and you need to then explain what Obama has done better. Compare her to a latter-day Quayle (despite the fact she has not committed gaffe one), and you have to face up to Obama's "57 states" and his many, many other verbal faux paus. Question her devotion to her family and you raise the ugly spectre of misogyny, which will only drive those middle class woman to throw their bodies in front of her, and cast their vote for her. You want to bring up the so-called Alaskan "troopergate scandal"? Fine, let's talk Bill Ayers as well.....
This media line of attack on Sarah Palin is hurting Obama more than helping him, but their partisanship and sheer distaste for the Republican party is making them blind as well as stupid. But please, don't stop on my account.
Again: McCain/Palin. In a rout....

"Palin Porn"
Well, that's what they are calling the mad search for pictures of the lovely Governor (and soon to be Vice President) Sarah Palin. So let me add my modest contribution, below:
In Kuwait; with grateful troops....
Not her bike; I checked - part of a raffle giveaway for veterans. Fetching, still....
Enough said.
As the naughty librarian.
No suprise, this.....
More Palin fun here and here....
Go ahead, MSM, try to bring the lady down...I dare ya!
"Balance" at the BBC...
...means putting the worst light on anything that can even possibly be beneficial to the Republicans; and in this case, feminism goes by the wayside, as Sarah Palin Must Be Destroyed:McCain unveils 'The Barracuda'
Nice. Bet the Dems wish they headlined their press releases with that one. Still, no matter, the BBC does dutifully repeat the Democrat's talking points:
As commander of the Alaska National Guard, she visited troops in Kuwait last year, but has a very thin foreign policy background.
Similarly, while she does have executive experience, the Obama campaign wryly pointed out she had been the mayor of a town with just 9,000 people.
Palin's one visit (pics here) to Kuwait is equal, I believe, to candidate Obama's one visit - which was more of a stopover on his "terrorist listening tour" of earlier this summer. As per news reports, this paragon of leadership "shook hands, answered questions, posed for photos and played a little basketball during the (two hour) visit."
And the BBC is the only one who described the "mayor" slur as "wry"; even Barack Obama backpedaled away from that meme ASAP. Is the BBC further to the left than the Democratic Party? Or is it they just can't stand to see a woman ascend to power without constantly reminding her to "know her place"?
Hat tip to Biased BBC, who will no doubt keep us informed of how the British government's media arm is twisting the election news from the States....
Maybe somebody out to wise up the BBC to a few important Sarah Palin facts:
Sarah Palin begins every day with a moment of silence for the political enemies buried in her yard.
And perhaps someone should whisper this sweet reminder into Howard Dean's ear:
Sarah Palin always beats the point spread....

Madonna: Shilling for McCain?
Well, of course not. But her immature antics are so over the top that it reminds me of the celebrity behavior that started to drive more folks towards Bush in 2004:
John McCain's campaign hit back at Madonna on Sunday after the pop diva kicked off her world tour with a concert that bracketed the US presidential candidate with Adolf Hitler.
McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds angrily condemned the segment of Madonna's concert in Cardiff on Saturday that appeared to draw a comparison between McCain, Hitler and Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe.
"The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time," Bounds said in a statement reported by Fox News.
"It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
Madonna's apparent swipe at McCain came during a performance of the song "Get Stupid", when the Republican contender's image was flashed up alongside images of destruction and global warming as well as Hitler and Mugabe.
As opposed to her juxtapositioning the Messiah with...:
Towards the end of the song, pictures of Beatles star John Lennon, former US vice-president Al Gore, Indian Mahatma Gandhi and McCain's Democrat rival Barack Obama appeared.
Is this election going to be about "change", as Obama and the media are trying to dictate? No, John McCain has already co-opted the dialogue - Eection 2008 is going to be about celebrity, and who's got less of it.
When the call comes at 3 AM, do you really want the President to send it to voice mail because he is texting sweet nothings to Scarlett Johansson?

The Democrat's Dog Whistle
If Barack Obama isn't enough of a peek through the window of the soul of the Democratic party, check out the Baseball Crank, who finds a webpage - proudly paid for by the Democratic National Committee - on potential McCain running mate Eric Cantor.
Did you know he's Jewish?
Don't worry, you will, because the DNC will somehow manage to bring it up five times in a 660 word piece.
Wonder who that dog whistle is for?

Obama hearts Ayers...
....and at least someone is talking about it:
Go visit The American Issue Project to get more info on the Weather Underground and Ayer's history of radical tactics and extreme violence.
Meanwhile, in one of the greatest acts of moral equivalency seen since Jimmy Carter last visited the Mideast, Obama is comparing the American army preserving a struggling new democracy in Iraq to the Russian army raping a struggling new democracy in Eastern Europe. Via Gateway Pundit:
Democrat Barack Obama scolded Russia again on Wednesday for invading another country’s sovereign territory while adding a new twist: the United States, he said, should set a better example on that front, too.
The Illinois senator’s opposition to the Iraq war, which his comment clearly referenced, is well known. But this was the first time the Democratic presidential candidate has made a comparison between the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Russia’s recent military activity in Georgia.
“We’ve got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies,” Obama told a crowd of supporters in Virginia. “They can’t charge into other countries. Of course it helps if we are leading by example on that point.”
Of course! Like all of the world's problems, it's America's fault the Russians tore their newly liberated neighbors a new *sshole!
Just the kind of thinking you'd expect from a Friend of Bill(Ayers).
The fact, incidentally, that the Democrats nominated this man as their standard-bearer says a lot more about the Democrats' standards than it does about the man. We now know Obama, hence his plummeting poll numbers. But if he is simply emblematic of the Democratic party as a whole, well, then, it is a party that has revealed its soul.
And, like all self-loathers, it is an ugly one.

"McCain. In A Rout"
Yeah, we said that, yesterday.
Hope we called it first; 'cause the numbers are starting to swing, and swing fast: For the first time since RealClearPolitics has been drawing its 2008 election map, John McCain has the 270+ needed to win the election. With leaners, but still.....even Zogby (a notoriously pro-Democratic pollster) has McCain up by six.
And this is going into the Democratic Convention, mind you, with the VP intrigue and the anticipated Amphitheater coronation and the Great Uniting....
Man, if you thought the Democrats were frustrated the last two cycles, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Maybe this time, though, some of them will actually move to Canada, instead of just talking about it....

Watcha Hiding, Baracky?
Some much for the era of "open governemnt", or perhaps..."What's Barack's Secret?"
....the public cannot get access to paperwork related grants distributed by then-state-legislator Obama (records from 1997 to 2000 aren't available); his state legislative office records (which he says may have been thrown out); he refuses to release a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm's clients, numbering several hundred each year; he won't release his application to the state bar (where critics wonder if he lied in responding to questions about parking tickets and past drug use); he’s never released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to convicted donor Rezko; and he's never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor.
Now the University of Illinois at Chicago is denying Stanley Kurtz access to documents relating to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a small foundation, founded and inspired by Bill Ayers, for which Obama served as board chairman.
McCain, folks. In a rout, come November...
The writing on the wall here...

More Anti-Semitism From Fat D-List Pseudo-Celebrity
Yup, Roseanne Barr is back in the news - for a swipe at Brad and Angelina. Who gives a f*ck, you say? Well, her attack on Angelina focuses on her dad's (Jon Voight) recent coming-out as a Hollywood conservative (gutsy!), and Roseanne Barr leaps for the jugular like the filthy old dog that she is, and inadvertantly (?) vomits out the trendy "neocon/Jew" connection:
"[Jon Voight] is a frightened little girl in a pink ballet tutu, who acts like Obama just wandered in from the rain forest with a bone thru his nose and a communist pamphlet in his loincloth. The neocons who own jon voight and make him dance on the chabad telethons are the worst most elitist people on earth. glen beck and jon voight are their bitches... both of them are used tampons who must be flushed down the toilet immediately! jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (just sayin')."
Chabad is a form of Lubavitch Judaism:
The founder of the Chabad thought system, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, developed an intellectual system and approach to Judaism intended to answer criticisms of Hasidism as anti-intellectual.
Sigh...it's always about the evil Jews, even in Hollywood....
I'd kick this hate-filled b*tch in the crotch, but I'd hate to ruin the good shine on my shoes....
Past instances of Rosie's anti-Semitic outbursts here, here, and here....

Barack Obama Bemoans Pesky American "Democracy" and its Bitter Inhabitants...
Seems like whenever St. Barack goes to San Francisco, he gets a bit unhinged. Remember bitterness, God, and guns? This time it's that annoying habit of allowing people in this country to actually, you know, vote for their leadership that's getting under his thin skin:
“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300 at his third event of the evening, according to the pool report. He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."
"Now, you want to win. And saying it doesn’t make it so," he told the crowd. "It would be nice to think that after eight years of economic disaster, after eight years of bungled foreign policy, of being engaged in a war that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, that cost us a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, that people would say, let’s toss the bums out. Toss the bums out, we’re starting from scratch, we’re starting over. This is not working."
“So I understand why a lot of folks are saying, this should just happen. Why are we having to run all these television commercials? Why do we have to raise all this money? Just read the papers. These are the knuckleheads who have been in charge. Throw ‘em out.
But American politics aren’t that simple," he said."The fact of the matter is, at a certain point, when government has not been serving the people for this long, people get cynical. They tune out. And they start saying to themselves, a plague on both your houses. They are willing to consume negative information more frequently than positive information, for good reason. They’ve seen how promises haven’t been kept," he said.
Ah. So the reason we are not willing to raise The Chosen One on our shoulders and carry him to his rightful throne is because we are...wait for it...bitter!
Because we haven't been served enough by government, by the way.
I don't know what, exactly, this country would look like after four years of Democratic control with Obama at the helm.
I just know it wouldn't look like America.

Barack Obama: Anti-Christ!
Well, if you see it on the web, it must be true, right?
Especially if the National Review is making the reference (even if it is only to point out that the media blames "sinister GOP operatives " for the, ahem, rumors).
So I did some digging - how would we know this AntiChrist should he walk the earth - and unearthed some startling coincidences:
Antichrist goes about his business by speaking the lie... Revelation 13:12 says, "and he spoke as a dragon...." Revelation 17 tells us that he was a false prophet, a prophet being one whose calling it is to speak and to teach... In his initial attempts to destroy the cause of God, the devil used a serpent to deceive the woman with crooked speech: "You will be like God." Now he uses a "dragon" who speaks crafty, lying words.
His speeches will be heard by millions who will hang on his persuasive rhetoric. The content as well as the form of his speech will attract. Like most false prophets, he will even be sincere and passionate. But he is a liar. He adds dashes of truth to the mix, so that his lie tastes like truth. He will use all the right catchwords, using the language of the church, even throwing in a Bible text or two. But he is the ultimate Liar, and will deceive many.
He will use every tool available: school teachers, politicians, news broadcasters, artists, musicians, scientists and doctors, lawyers and businessmen. All will be pressed into the service of Antichrist to deceive men....
Wow!
"Persuasive rhetoric"; "the Ultimate Liar"; "news broadcasters"!
I know someone else who is gettng persuaded....anyway, here's more:
The Antichrist--also described in the Bible as the "son of perdition" & the "beast"!
.... he will have great charisma & speaking ability, "a mouth speaking great things".
The Antichrist will rise to power on a wave of world euphoria, as he temporarily saves the world from its desperate economic, military & political problems with a brilliant 7-year plan for world peace, economic stability & religious freedom.
"World euphoria", huh? Hello, Berlin....
There's a dedicated website, which banners itself thusly:
...he has risen up out of no where, he mesmerizes crowds, people are gathering in huge numbers, he is likely becoming the next President of the United States. Do not look only to what I say, but look to your Bibles...
And people have been postulating on the whole Obama/Satan thing since 2004; when many eyes first alit upon The One at the Democratic Convention:
...When I first heard of Barak, a few days ago, the first thing I heard is that he is a guy who came out of nowhere and now many flock to his side. When my wife and I heard this, we both thought the same thing, the anti-christ....
....While I was watching him, the VERY FIRST thought that came to my mind was asking the Lord if I was looking at the AC. ....
...He has an eerie magnetism...I'm going with my gut on this one. My sister and I both feel something "spooky" about this guy, but can't quite figure out what it is.
My favorite- same thread:
....If he turns out to not be the antichrist, then his message is a good thing.
Well, this whole thing bears following, folks - even if Snopes claims that the rumors are "false"...
But finally - I'm down with this guy's conclusion:
But until someone gives me a reasonable explanation for his popularity, I'm going to leave the door to this thought open, just a crack...
Yeah. I'm still waiting for that explanation, by the way...
UPDATE: "Get yer Obama-is-the-antichrist T-shirts here!"
UPDATE II: Go here, and see how the media is blaming the Republicans for the fact that the Democrats nominated the spawn of Satan...

Obama: On America....
"The Republic is no longer what it once was."
Well, one can certainly argue that...
Hey!
Barack Obama didn't say that - Emperor Palpatine did! (Star Wars, episode III - "The Revenge of the Sith")
Oh, wait....here's Obama's quote:
"America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children."
One can understand my confusion, I hope.
This, in answer to a little girl's question as to why Obama wanted to be president.
Speaks volumes.
See it here: "Obama: America Sucks, and Only I Can Save It"....

From Obama's Speech in Berlin:
Listen to me, people of the Earth! Today I bring a New Order to your planet! One which shall last until the end of time!
Each of you... each man, each woman, each child - all will march proudly together in this New Order!
There is no longer a need for separate nations in this world, no need for petty squabbles between one group and another. All of you will work together, strive, produce, and sacrifice together - and all for a common goal!
It is useless for you to resist....
Oh...sorry! That's not Obama's "citizen of the world" bit from Berlin, it's General Zod's speech from Superman II !
Except Zod was more intelligent, and realistic, than his idealistic young doppleganger. Check out Zod's presidential campaign site here....

New Jersey's Toxins Seeping Into America...
This is the danger that New Jersey presents to the rest of the United States, when electing such mental midgets as Democrat Senator Robert Menendez:
E-Verify (the effective program to keep illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs) now is facing danger in the Senate, as well as the House .
The NumbersUSA Capitol Hill Team has been told that Sen. Menendez (D-N.J.) has put a "hold" on legislation to reauthorize the E-Verify workplace verification program. That means the Senate is barred from voting to keep it alive. Without a vote, E-Verify will die in November.
Our understanding is that Sen. Menendez is blocking the most effective tool against illegal immigration in order to get something else that he wants. He will allow an E-Verify vote if he is allowed to give hundreds of thousands of skilled American jobs permanently to hundreds of thousands of additional immigrants.
At a time when skilled Americans and students aspiring to those jobs are finding a depressed job market, Sen. Menendez is insisting on flooding their occupations with even more foreign workers. And if he doesn't get his way, he will take away the best tool that employers have to keep illegal foreign workers from taking jobs at every rung of the ladder, but especially at the lower-skilled job level.
This outrageously callous behavior toward American workers during a time of employment shrinkage is typical for Sen. Menendez. His lifetime immigration voting has earned him an F-minus in the category of protecting American workers from unfair foreign labor competition. And his overall career immigration-reduction grade (all categories) is an F.
When it comes to favoring foreign workers (and the greedy employers who use them to depress wages) over struggling American workers, Sen. Menendez has no shame....
And neither do New Jersey Democrats, who would rather vote for a dangerous, incompetent assclown like Menendez rather than even consider anyone with an (R) next to their name. Who needs Saudi-funded madrassas when New Jerseyians can export our own brand of lethal madness throughout the United States?

Obamanation - the final chapter (today)
I'll leave it to James Taranto to close my out my four-post rant against The Annointed One; as he ruminates about what bothered him so about the whole "Barack in Berlin" spectacle:
If Obama had waited six months and delivered this speech as president, we might have objected to some of its substance (if any). But we'd say it is bad form for him to give a speech overseas that his audience will interpret, as Spörl did, as coming from the next president of the United States. If he becomes president, Obama will have earned the right to speak on behalf of America.
We the people are entitled to have our say first.
One would think, based on the coverage, that his head has already been annointed with oil....methinks that upon his return, Jesus H. Christ himself would get rougher treatment at the hands of the media than Saint Barack....

Will the gullib-jews fall for Obama ?
Caroline Glick, editor over at the Jerusalem Post, comments on the emptiness of The Chosen One's rhetoric:
His repeated assertions of his commitment to Israel’s security were repeatedly contradicted by the policies he wishes to adopt if elected.
On the one hand he opposes permitting Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, but on the other hand, he insists that the way to make this happen is to sit down and talk to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has made annihilating the Jewish state one of his main goals in office.
He says he understands Israel’s need to protect its citizens from terror attacks but then he says that Israel’s interests are served by strengthening the Palestinian terror groups by extending Palestinian sovereignty from Gaza to the West Bank. Gaza is ruled by jihadists from Hamas who are bankrolled, trained and armed by Iran.
How are Israel’s interests served by importing jihadist control to the outskirts of Tel-Aviv and to Jerusalem?
How, indeed? Glick tries to make sense of the nonsensical; she forgoes the willing suspension of disbelief engaged in by His followers. John McCain was right when he said Barack Obama would lose a war to win an election; Glick doesn't yet understand he is willing to lose Israel if it helps him achieve the same goal....
His repeated assertions of his commitment to Israel’s security were repeatedly contradicted by the policies he wishes to adopt if elected.
On the one hand he opposes permitting Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, but on the other hand, he insists that the way to make this happen is to sit down and talk to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has made annihilating the Jewish state one of his main goals in office.
He says he understands Israel’s need to protect its citizens from terror attacks but then he says that Israel’s interests are served by strengthening the Palestinian terror groups by extending Palestinian sovereignty from Gaza to the West Bank. Gaza is ruled by jihadists from Hamas who are bankrolled, trained and armed by Iran.

"The Moment"
Via Powerline - Rush Limbaugh knows exactly what the moment is:
But ladies and gentlemen, if you are wondering when you hear Obama talk about change, this is it. The change is: America sucks, America's deficient, America's guilty, but America is now willing to pay the price because we have a Messiah who understands the faults, the egregious errors made by the United States and her people. We are racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes. We discriminate against people who worship differently than we do, have skin color different from ours, and we have not always behaved properly in the world. And we torture. And we, of course, are biased against people who want to get into our country illegally. We have a lot to pay for. Not to mention that we are primarily the country responsible for climate change, shrinking the Atlantic coastline, melting the Arctic ice.
This is the change. You want change? This is the change.
I think more people than just Rush get this, though. Thing is, those folks like this message, and agree with it...any suprise it went over so well in Germany?

How about a little bit of humble, Baracky?
From The One's speech in Berlin:
Now the world will watch and remember what we do here — what we do with this moment.
~Barak Obama, “A World that Stands as One”. 2,983 words.
From an actual president, less noted for his oration:
The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
~Abraham Lincoln, “Gettysburg Address” 285 words.
Seems like the less one has accomplished, the more one talks....

"And It Came To Pass.....
....in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”
In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.
And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world.
He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media...."

"This is Yad Vashem!"
(I'm breaking my self-imposed exile, only because this little tale so illuminates who Barack Obama is, and perhaps who - or what - he isn't.
“But he has nothing on at all,”
And at least the Israelis - literally, the world's canary in the coalmine - are not afraid to shout it out...)
Via Gateway Pundit, we go to the great land of Israel - Barack's latest stop on his WorldWide Gaffe Tour - and find that Mr. Obama refuses to take a position on Iran's gleeful march to "Auschwitz: The Sequel":
An Israeli journalist called out to Obama: “Can you ensure that there will be no second Holocaust?”
Obama walked into the museum’s main building without responding...
Once again an Israeli journalist asked the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee how he’d help prevent a second Holocaust.
"Senator can you assure Israel that there will be no second Holocaust despite Iran's threat to wipe us off the map?" he asked.
Obama demurred, saying that it wasn't appropriate to answer the question there.
"This is Yad Vashem!" the journalist responded.
...and the name means not a whit to Barack Obama, only concerned with the photo op, terrified to speak without the Teleprompter - a mere guppy, who has suddenly found himself in very deep waters, as it slowly dawns on him that his smooth, slick movements will not protect him from the dark, hungry creatures that are circling all around.
Out of his depth, out of his league, and a danger to the whole free world should he ascend to the throne....

July 4th, 2008 (The Character of a Nation)
'DECADES later the Declaration of Independence was canonized as American scripture," historian Walter McDougall writes of the nation's founding document, "but in 1776 it was generally read once - in army camps, taverns, and village greens - cheered, and forgotten." Its fate might have been to be forgotten forevermore, if it weren't for George Washington and his Continental Army. When our great adventure in liberty still seemed an impossible risk, they were the embodiment and vindicators of the Declaration. Our nation was born on the shoulders of an army, whose exertions and principled patriotism gave the famous parchment its life.....
Another thought on George Washington, from the King of England:
....Of course, when the war ended, he resigned his command and returned to Mount Vernon. Upon hearing the news, an astonished King George III said, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world."
Character counts.
BAGHDAD – How are you spending your 4th of July holiday? While most Americans probably slept, 1,215 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines raised their right hands and committed to a combined 5,500 years of additional service during the largest reenlistment ceremony in the history of the American military. Beneath a large American flag which dwarfed even the enormous chandelier that Saddam Hussein had built for the Al Faw Palace, members of all services, representing all 50 states took the oath administered by Gen. David Petraeus, Commander of Multi-National Forces Iraq.
Without the unbroken chain of men of character from Washington's army to Petraeus', there would be few freedoms to hold dear on this Independence Day....
Thomas Jefferson's thoughts on the meaning of the Declaration, some fifty years after the fact:
....less than two months before his death on July 4, 1826, Jefferson was determinedly protective of his reputation as (he directed his tombstone to declare this) "author" of the Declaration. Still, he candidly acknowledged that it "was intended to be an expression of the American mind," not "aiming at originality of principle or sentiment." Hence, "all its authority rests then on the harmonizing sentiments of the day."
And this is one of "dead white men" that we are supposed to revile, instead of revere....is his document sill an "expression of the American mind" 232 years hence? Well, I guess Obama could finesse his way around that, too...
But some things have changed for the better, at least since the liberals last held sway:
The young soldier hadn't slept in 48 hours or bathed in 72. Now that he was finally back from
Iraq, all Pfc. Justin Gindhart wanted was a hot shower and a soft bed. But these days, Gindhart discovered, a soldier's homecoming isn't always that simple.
To his surprise, there was a troop of motorcycle-riding Vietnam vets to greet him at the airport; a police-escorted motorcade, past blocked-off intersections and highway entrances, that backed up traffic for miles; an appearance at a support-the-troops rally; a gathering of neighbors and friends, alerted by fire and ambulance sirens, outside his family's house....
This is a good thing, a great thing. But remember, if Jay Rockerfeller and the Democrats had their druthers, they would be giving our heroes a completely different type (can we say "Vietnam Style"?) of "welcome home..."
I would like to offer a special thanks on this Independence Day to the American Soldier, unique in history for his/her ability, strength, will, courage, character, and compassion. Without your vigilance, all I have - spiritually and materialistically - is certainly lost.
And finally - what's the Fourth of July without some patriotic cheesecake?
Yummy.
Happy 4th of July !

A Short Hiatus
Work and vacation will be all-consuming for the next 17-0dd days; might as well go on an official short break as opposed to my lame-ass, once-a -week posts that have shown up for most of June...
Oh, I'll be back.
Do you think I am going to let that "Obamination" breeze thru the election season without feeling my (verbal) wrath? Or Frank Lautenburg, who like all aged liberals would rather die in his civil service job rather than see someone else assume his perks?
The media is giddy with expectations of a Democratic sweep; but their hype masks their fears (or highlights their ignorance). Bush the First trailed Dukakis by 17 points in the national polls in the summer of '88, yet went on to wallop him by a 40-10 margin (in electoral votes). And did not Dewey lead Truman by six percentage points (Obama's average lead) up until election day 1948? Ah, I believe mistakes were made back then as well....
Saddle up, folks. It's gonna be a wild ride....

Racism in Iowa
How else can you explain this?
Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?
Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines?
Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen television sets?
When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a "vanilla" Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?
Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?
Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?
How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?
C'mon, the last one is easy! You'll never hear about it again because pallid Midwesterners suffering from a natural disaster is nowhere near as important as minorities who are hit with a catastrophe; after all, Dick Cheny would never turn his weather-making machine against his own people, right? When minorities are struck with a natural event, it is preventable, and an impeachable offense.
"Remember New Orleans!!"
But when the gates of hell open up upon Iowa? Well, whether they are Boy Scouts slaughtered by a twister, or townfolks threatened by a flood, one can almost see the smirk of the mainstream media as they think to themselves, "Where's their precious Jesus now?"
When it comes to middle-class Midlle-Americans, well, we've got it coming - actually, we all deserve it it a kind of way, right? (Unless it is something the media can spin against Republicans, like, say, the housing "crisis". Then middle-class Americans who used their homes as an ATM machine are to be pitied, of course).
The obligitory minimal reporting is provided, and the press hustles its rumpled self off, looking for something more likely to fit their PC narrative, as the citizens of Iowa are once again left to fend for themselves....

John McCain, Barack Obama, and Ayn Rand
Barack Obama, April 2008:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will push on Friday for passage of a bill to put the huge pay packages of some U.S. corporate executives under greater scrutiny.
The Illinois senator has introduced “say-on-pay” legislation that would give investors more of a voice in setting executive compensation packages.
“We’ve seen what happens when CEOs are paid for doing a job no matter how bad a job they’re doing. We can’t afford to postpone reform any longer,” Obama said in prepared remarks for delivery later on Friday.
“That’s why Washington needs to act immediately to pass this legislation.”
John McCain, June 2008:
"Americans are right to be offended when the extravagant salaries and severance deals of CEOs ... bear no relation to the success of the company or the wishes of shareholders," he will say, adding that some of those chief executives helped bring on the country's housing crisis and market troubles.
"If I am elected president, I intend to see that wrongdoing of this kind is called to account by federal prosecutors....
And finally, Ayn Rand, speaking through the character of Ellsworth Toohey in The Foutainhead:
Watch the pincer movement. If you’re sick of one version, we push you into the other. We get you coming and going. We’ve closed the doors. We’ve fixed the coin. Heads—collectivism, and tails—collectivism. Fight the doctrine which slaughters the individual with a doctrine which slaughters the individual. Give up your soul to a council—or give it up to a leader. But give it up, give it up, give it up. My technique . . . . Offer poison as food and poison as antidote....
You can substitute "climate change" for "CEO pay" if you wish; Ayn is still spot-on, as ususal....

"Change" I Can Believe In !
Obama "changes" every five seconds, depending on who he's talking to...
Barack Obama has strongly backed Israel in his first foreign policy speech since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee...
Speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-Israel lobbying group, Obama said, "Any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized and defensible borders. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."
In his address, Obama also faced head-on rumors that he is a Muslim and does not support the Jewish state, calling himself a "true friend of Israel."....
Uh huh. And do you want to see how fast Obama can "change" his tune on that?
....Obama's campaign backtracked on bombshell remarks he made Wednesday that Jerusalem should remain the "undivided" capital of Israel, according to the Jerusalem Post.
An aide later softened Obama's comments - which sparked anger in the Palestinian community - saying the sides will have to negotiate "an agreement that they both can live with."
The adviser explained that by an undivided Jerusalem, Obama did not mean that it wouldn't also serve as the Palestinian capital as well. The Jewish community balked at the news.
"The Orthodox Union is extremely disappointed in this revision of Senator Obama's important statement about Jerusalem," Nathan Diament, of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, told the paper.
Get used to disappointment, Rabbi...me, I'd stick with Obama's "changed" view, which echos that of his anti-semetic pastor of twenty years...
Doesn't matter, and Obama is smart enough to know it. If Hitler rose from the 12th Rung of Hell from whence he dwells and captured the Democratic nomination (not terribly unlikely given the sentiments of the far-left element of the party), he would still likely capture 75% of the Jewish vote.
"What, you want me to vote for that Republican fellow? That Hitler guy, he may not be the best thing for the Jews, but he's sure right about socialized medicine and gun control...""
UPDATE: More waffling from the terrorist sympathizer -well, from his spokesman:
He refused, however, to rule out other configurations, such as the city also serving as the capital of a Palestinian state or Palestinian sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods.
I see.....

Thank You, Democrats!
Remember the election in 2006? The one in which the Democratic party took control of both houses of Congress and vowed to take the country in a "different" direction?
Well, where did things stand a little over a year and a half ago, back in October of 2006? Let's take a quick ride on the WAYBAC machine, shall we?
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet,
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar close to $4.00 a gallon;
3) Unemployment jump up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) $2.3 trillion in equity value simply evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses) across all American households
5) American's home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes fall into foreclosure.
What will they do for an encore, once Barack Hussien Messiah Obama is elected? Maybe he'll sign this bill, the death knell of the American economy, once 'ol George is out of the way?
And once chaos results, whom will they have left to blame?
