I was asked why I wrote the below article (Obama: Walks Like a Duck, Talks Like a Duck, Hangs Around Ducks…) since I had already voiced my disapproval over Rev. Wright of the Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC).  For those of you that don’t know, a white, race-baiting, anti-white priest named Pfleger went off on a very public racist rant quite recently at the TUCC.  And in case you weren’t aware, virtually all of the “regular” churchgoers gave him numerous standing ovations during the process.

Ladies and gentleman…this IS RACISM.  I don’t care if it is an African-American church.  The congregation is as guilty as the clergy who spew such filth since they sit/stand there clapping and cheering throughout the anti-white hate speech.  This IS Obama’s church and his fellow churchgoers. 

Would you say that a man who attended KKK meetings for 20 years was innocent of the garbage and hatred that they spew at such meetings?  I think not!  It is guilt by association, participation and support…all of which Obama was and is guilty of.  That, my friends, is the plain old truth!

…It’s probably a frigging ELITIST RACIST (i.e. a “duck”)!  How many years do you have to be a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago (TUCC), how many raving anti-white clergymen do you have to be friends with and how many glaring opportunities to quit all of it do you have to miss in order for you to be considered an anti-white, elitist racist?  The answer is: whatever the number, Obama has long since surpassed it.

I hate to be the one to point this out but come on, reverse the circumstances.  Imagine this, a white presidential candidate being a member of an anti-African American church containing the equivalent, anti-black, nutjob clergy spouting equally vile, bilious anti-black sentiments.  What would you have?  Well you’d have the makings of a race riot in the streets of Chicago.  There would be violent demonstrations, race-based property damage and a myriad of death threats and assaults.  But in the case of the TUCC, it’s just another nightly newscast and concerned people clucking their tongues in disapproval…that’s it.  Why?

How many “special passes” must Obama be granted before the American people wise up?  Obviously, this is the culture that he identifies with and belongs to.  It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out.  Oh yes, Obama eventually distances himself from such crap.  But, oddly enough, it has taken him 20 years and a presidential campaign before he felt the need to do so.  Before that, he was a happy associate and participant in the filth emanating from the TUCC.  Guilt by association?  Yep, you betcha and you’d have to be a moron or a liar not to see it. 

I’m tired of the excuses and special dispensation being given to Obama because he is an African-American presidential candidate.  He needs to be held to the exact same standard as any other person seeking the highest office in the land.  White, black, green or blue…he’s a frigging duck (an elitist racist) by association.  Vote him in and you also vote in his cronies at the Trinity United Church of Christ.  Personally, I find the thought of that flocking fowl!

It must really suck to be stuck with the job of digging up dirt on John McCain.  Love him or hate him, most everyone has to admit that he is a very well known, well-vetted politician.  I imagine that many left-leaning “journalists” are sitting around having the following sorts of conversations, to wit:

“Bob, did you see this?  John McCain had a wart removed from his hand 31 years ago!”

“Wow Bill, wait until the public hears about that.  I mean it’s obvious that for the 40 years before he had it removed, he went around knowingly shaking hands and transmitting the wart virus to minorities and endangered species.  We’ve got him cold now!”  The two reporters exchange exhausted but gleeful smiles.  

Or, 

“George, did you notice that John McCain’s wife, Cindy, is kind of hot for an older woman?”

“Yeah Andy, I did, why?”

“Well, it’s pretty obvious she is way too young for him. John McCain must be some kind of cradle-robbing pervert.”

“Huh?”

“C’mon George, here’s how the headline reads, ‘McCain Seen In Hotel With Hottie, 20 Years his Junior’. What do you think?”

“She’s his wife, Andy.”

“Yeah, but she wasn’t when they first met.  He obviously sees women as sex objects or he wouldn’t have pursued such a young girl in the first place  Do you think we can get the ‘Pedophile’ angle on this one?.”

“Hmm…I dunno Andy.  Maybe we can mail the story anonymously to the Enquirer” 

Or, 

“Hey Dana, look at this old photo of John McCain when he was in college.  That guy next to him was a political science major. He checked out ‘Mein Kampf’ from the school library and wrote a paper on it.”

“So Fox, you are telling me that McCain was close friends with a guy who studies Nazi literature?”

“Exactly Dana. I think we can publicly bring up McCain’s association with this guy and force McCain to renounce him and Nazism.  Everyone will make the connection and then he will be in trouble with the Jews and the World War II vets.  Just think of the advantage it will give Barack!”

“Wow Fox, you’re a media genius!”

In other words, it’s slim pickings for the leftist media.  They have been madly scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for anything they can use against him.  Unfortunately for them, John McCain is a pretty sharp old guy, with good taste in a wife, in good health for his age and whose warts and moles have been public record for years.  He’s lived long enough, and been in Washington long enough, to have met, known and even worked with the occasional person of less than stellar character.  But none of his associations can be tied to any of his ethical, legislative or financial history.  This is, no doubt, a source of great frustration to the leftist media.

Therefore, we shouldn’t be surprised with the current (and future) spate of lame, grasping, desperate, anti-McCain political ads.  I don’t agree with McCain on several important issues.  However, I do know that he is an honest and thoughtful man with sufficient experience, intelligence and common sense to be a good U.S. president.  That’s way more than I can say about any of the other presidential candidates. 

Oh yeah, I don’t buy it for a second that he consorts with space aliens or is the gay, hermaphrodite, werewolf father of the “Bat Baby” spotted in the remote hills of eastern Tennessee.

“ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Russian Communist Party members condemned the new “Indiana Jones” film on Friday as crude, anti-Soviet propaganda that distorts history and called for it to be banned from Russian screens…” (from: Yahoo News front page, Source: Reuters)

Face it communist party comrades, you lost.  Your country rejected your totalitarian, ideologically bankrupt, propaganda-centric, lame-ass philosophy.  Now the MOST important thing you have to whine about is “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”?  A movie that you loudly proclaim should be banned because it doesn’t glorify the stupidity of the old Soviet Union’s communist government?  Pathetic!  And you wonder why you lost…

Your willingness to come out and openly support banning a fictional movie because it offends you, is EXACTLY why you are no longer in power.  America has been the target of hundreds, if not thousands, of movies that portray it in an unflattering light.  Many of them were far more inaccurate and denigrating to the USA than the latest in the Indiana Jones series is to you.  Yet you get your Bolshevik dander up because you feel as if all of your great communist “accomplishments” are being dissed.

I have news for you, comrade-istas; the old Soviet Union made some progress DESPITE the communist party, not because of it.  Communism was, like socialism is now, nothing more than an impediment to advancement, technology and human progress.  Everything about it suppresses individual creativity and expression and puts in its place, top-down, centrally-controlled idiotic groupthink.  It’s the equivalent of government trying to paint an original Rembrandt or to set prices for consumer goods.  Whatever it comes up with will always be vastly inferior to individual ability and/or entrepreneurship.

So, my suggestion to you communist whingers, is to shut-up, accept your irrelevance and move on to more important things.  No one really cares about your opinions on fictional movies, history, the arts and, most importantly, how to run a government.  Please go away (and take the socialists with you)!

I’m no fan of CNN but I have to admit over the last 6 months I have been becoming increasingly more impressed with Lou Dobbs and his nightly broadcast.  Don’t get me wrong, I have vigorously disagreed with him in the past and there are still significant issues I disagree with him on now.  However, I have noticed that many of his positions have become progressively more insightful and thoroughly thought out.  This is especially so with regard to his views and discussions of America’s left-wing.  Last night I had the pleasure of watching him kick the insipid ass of Paul Waldman of “Media Matters”, the notoriously left-wing, media opinion group.

Lou was interviewing the wankerish fellow and the topic was ostensibly illegal immigration.  However, Waldman kept trying to castigate Lou for being anti-immigration and Lou had to keep reminding him that he was anti-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.  Now, for those of you that don’t realize it, this is the tactic that both the illegal immigrant advocacy groups and the leftists use.  The idea being that by blurring the line between those who are anti-illegal immigrant and anti-immigrant, they can lump them all together and call them racists (if this sounds familiar, it’s because it’s similar to the tactic leftists are using to try and bully whites into voting for Obama).  But Lou Dobbs didn’t give the little weasel an inch. 

The discussion became heated at times as Dobbs reacted with serious annoyance to attempts by Waldman to unabashedly twist words and skew definitions.  The guy was so obviously a liar and so irritating that I am truly impressed that Lou didn’t crack him up side the head and knock him off his chair.  But, in fact, Lou just went about dissecting the fellow’s lies, misstatements and mischaracterizations.  Waldman was unceremoniously and completely exposed, his statements and arguments torn to bloody shreds.  The show ended with him obviously feeling like a loser and totally embarrassed at being demonstrated a fool on national television.  It was a joy to watch.  Keep up the good work, Lou!

The left maintains its power in government by expanding and newly-creating government programs.  It is a simple fact that if you are a little bit slow and one group gives you something you think is free, or that you think you are entitled to, you will logically vote to continue those giveaways.  The left not only knows this but has worked on perfecting this methodology for years.  They use the fact that people are sick of Republican mismanagement and vote for anybody but a Republican, as their reasoning to try and ram socialism down the public’s throats.  Fortunately, the left is too stupid to recognize that the people eventually figure out that not only are they paying for this financial shell-game, but they are also losing far more than they are gaining.

The left always seems to read winning an election by default as a mandate for their nutty, superstition-fueled, nanny-state socialist claptrap.  But people quickly grow tired of being taxed into poverty in order to pay for some ne’r-do-well’s “crack” cocaine, alcohol, Pepperidge Farm cookies and the t-bone steaks for their dog.  Most people, including Democrats, Republicans, independents, libertarians and others, work hard for their money.  It doesn’t take long to figure out that if you earn $10, the government takes $5, gives the non-working people $1.50 and gives you back a total of $0.50 in government benefits, you’re getting screwed.  For some reason the leftists can’t do the math. 

It gets even worse when people figure out that much of the money they paid in taxes goes to support a huge, incompetent bureaucracy that adds nothing to their lives but hassle, regulation and annoyance.  In most cases we are very fortunate that we don’t get the amount of government we pay for.  If we did, it would become so intolerable that even the morons who created it would begin to notice.  As it is, we get far more government than we need.  If what we have actually worked, we’d be able to happily get by on far less.

As many of you may have noticed, the Democratic congress has already begun doing what it does best.  That is of course, adding more bureaucracy and more, very expensive give-away programs (i.e. the “Farm Bill” they just passed) that helps subsidize wealthy farmers with our tax dollars.  So the guy now who is getting subsidized to grow corn for ethanol can also collect another subsidy for growing kumquats.  It won’t be long before he figures out how to combine the kumquats with the corn to make even more money by converting it all to ethanol.  It still doesn’t put food on your table, it still doesn’t decrease the cost of energy (it raises it, actually) and still does nothing to produce a truly sustainable fuel supply.  But the farmer will be happy driving his new SUV while you ride your moped to work.

The bottom line is that the people, being rightly fed-up with and voting out, the nitwit Republican congress does not mean that they are embracing socialism.  It means that the people have had enough of the incompetent assholes who messed everything up and are looking to get rid of them.  The “change” the people are looking for is not some pseudo-intellectual leftist nonsensical bullshit that will further erode their standard of living and require them to genuflect in front of a statue of Karl Marx.   Rather, they want leadership that restores our economy, provides properly for our defense and otherwise stays the hell out of our lives.  Are the leftists smart enough to see this?   Well, look who they support in the presidential race.   What do you think?

It may sound sincere.  It may even be plausible.  But, when you look at the “mouthpieces” that have been publicly leveling that charge lately, it’s obvious who the racists are.  In a pathetic attempt to invoke “white guilt” and subsequent knee-jerk leftist banner waving, these racist liars are trying to manipulate whites into voting for their candidate(s).  They hope that many whites will be bullied into supporting their cause out of fear that they themselves will be labeled as racists. This sort of cynical race-baiting is symptomatic of true, hardcore anti-white bigotry and should be condemned like any other form of racism.

Anyone that is a “baby boomer” or older remembers the end of real racism in America.  We all grew up reading about, hearing about or seeing the last vestiges of the wide-spread mistreatment of non-white people.  Even as children, most boomers were taught that bigotry was evil and that it was their obligation to reject any form of race-based prejudice.  Of course this didn’t mean that all people were wiped clean of racist thoughts, racist actions or racist statements but it did mean that it was no longer acceptable in any form. 

Nonetheless, there are some people left in America that just don’t get it.  This group of idiots is represented by many races, including both African-Americans and whites.  Unfortunately, there will always be a minority of people afflicted with this form of mental retardation.  And, when these people open their mouths publicly, no matter who they are, they need to be “outed” for what they are.  Plain and simple, people who scream “racism” for the purposes of manipulation and political bullying are just scumbag racists that deserve to be treated like the sub-humans they really are.

In Obama’s Monday interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” he laid down the rules regarding his wife.  Despite the fact that Michelle Obama had been recruited by him to publicly speak on his behalf, he warned the Tennessee GOP to leave her alone.  In other words, Michelle Obama can say publicly whatever she wants about the American people but no one had better criticize her for it.  Of course those rules don’t apply to any other candidate’s spouses that may speak on their behalf.

No one criticized Michelle Obama for the way she looked, the way she dressed or her presence on the campaign trail.  She was criticized for saying “For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country.”  This was said while stumping for her husband in Wisconsin.  After which she was rightly criticized for the implication that until she saw Americans supporting her husband, she had not been proud to be one.  Many people were offended by this since most people don’t measure America’s good accomplishments based on how supportive they are of Michelle’s husband.  In fact, it can be argued that maybe such support for Obama is NOT something to be proud of.

Obama’s defense of his wife, while very chivalrous and, under normal circumstances, not unexpected, in this case speaks loudly of his sense of entitlement.  Having been treated with kid gloves during most of the early part of his primary campaign, he seems to feel that his wife deserves such treatment eternally.  Even if she’s wrong, offensive, speaks ignorantly or insults the rest of non-Obama-supporting America.   Well, I have news for you Barack old buddy, if you recruit someone to speak publicly for you, expect them to be held to the same standard of scrutiny as every other public speaker.

Obama’s attitude is one of royalty.  In many countries, the royal elite and their families are to be held above criticism.  In some of those countries you can be executed for showing the royal family disrespect.   It is obvious that Barack Obama expects such royal treatment for his family.  However, I take issue with his position.

Barack Obama is not a royal (far from it) and his elite status is a product of his own imagination.  I grant you that he is not like most other Americans, but that is because of his attitude, his sense of self-importance and his sense of entitlement, not his character or his accomplishments.  The truth of the matter is that he is an arrogant, inexperienced, one-term U.S. senator that because of war exhaustion, the harsh economy and a horrifically incompetent U.S. congress, has been elevated to princely status by a desperate and unhappy segment of the American public.  And, as always happens in such cases, the REAL Barack will turn out to be a pitifully deficient version of this man who would see himself, king.

Appeasement is plain and simple, a modern leftist policy.  It should come as no surprise that Obama would seek to exploit its socialist appeal by promising to be the “Appeaser-In-Chief” if elected.  It’s not as if he invented the concept.  The left loves the idea of everyone sitting around holding hands, singing Kumbaya, and resolving every issue with happy smiles and hugs.  Terrorists love the idea too.  What better way to achieve one’s oppressive and vile goals by engaging in circle-jerks that result in you lying your way to concessions and at the same time lulling your sucker-victims into a false sense of security.

Obama, and his leftist cohorts, screamed that Bush was unfair in discussing appeasement, while in Israel.  But Bush’s comments came right on the heels of Jimmy Carter’s uninvited, bumbling and nitwitted attempts at foreign policy.  Carter’s meeting with Hamas upset Israel and, out of respect for the Israeli’s terrifying history of being victims of appeasement, Bush was trying to reassure them that the real America does not agree with such nonsense.  The fact that Obama and company immediately assumed that they were being singled out as appeasers, speaks volumes about their level of guilt.  If the shoe fits, girly-man, wear it!

You can’t have it both ways.  You can’t promise before the TV cameras that you would seek out a meeting with one of the world’s most foul, lying, scumbag terrorist leaders (Ahmadinejad-Iran’s current president) to work out a peaceful solution to the “Israeli problem” and then expect not to be called out for it.  If Ahmadinejad doesn’t qualify as a terrorist leader (look up the definition) then Bin Laden is the radical Islamist equivalent of Mother Teresa.   Give me a break.

Even good Americans can be a bit thick-headed at times and all of us make mistakes in judging people’s characters.  But it should be obvious by now as to what we are dealing with in Barack Obama.  At the risk of sounding a bit reactionary, he scares the hell out of me.  We in America have had some wacko presidential candidates before.  But Obama is the scariest because he has a chance at being elected.  He sneaked in as an unknown,   made eloquent, happy speeches and lulled many Americans into believing that he was something special.  Well, he is “special” but not in the way any of you thought. 

As time goes on it is becoming more and more obvious that Obama is a hardcore, anti-American socialist and doesn’t have a chance in hell of “crossing the aisles” or rescuing America.  An Obama presidency brings with it nightmare images of marching jackbooted leftist thugs, loss of individual liberties, crushing taxation, failed foreign policy and the roiling, giant black plume of a mushroom cloud rising over the middle east.  Think I’m exaggerating?  All it would take would be one major act of appeasement cowardice and Iran could go fully nuclear.  Do you have ANY doubt that a psychopath like Ahmadinejad would hesitate to unleash nukes in his quest to destroy Israel and the west?  Think about it.  Especially before you cast your vote.

The far right is far out…far out of touch that is.  What are you idiots thinking?  Is it going to take an O-bomba to explode in the White House for you to realize that your tired dogma just won’t hunt?  OK, pay attention and I will explain it to you.

First off, global warming is a fact.  The objective scientific data (polar ice melts, ice cores and 20 years of statistical data) support the conclusion that we are going through a period of the earth heating up.  That cannot be argued anymore.  What is still up for debate is whether or not we are causing it and how long it will last.  For all we know it could stop tomorrow or get much worse in the coming decades.  The scientists don’t know, the left and the right don’t know and you don’t know.   Therefore, it is not unreasonable to recognize its existence and make efforts to reduce the possible impact that humankind’s activities are having on it.  Reasonable concern and reasonable preventative measures make good sense.  Denial makes you look stupid and out of touch with common sense.

Secondly, George Bush has done and accomplished some good things and some bad things.  Your ridiculous insistence that virtually all of his policies were and are right, in the face of good evidence to the contrary, makes you seem retarded.  Unfortunately, his blind unbalanced support of big business, to the terrible detriment of the consumer, has caused a great deal of economic harm.  Your dogged support of his mishandling of our military (he and his advisors not heeding and then twisting good intelligence, choosing the wrong target for a major ground campaign and failing to use MORE than the force he arrogantly deemed sufficient to get in, get it done and then get out) has left us more vulnerable to Iran’s mischief and Al Qaeda’s continued existence in Pakistan.   Face it; Bush has screwed-up some important issues during his term.

Thirdly, both legislative houses full of so-called conservative Republicans, voted to expand big government as much as any other congress full of Democrats, approved billions in earmarks and pork and then pissed away billions more on your morality battles and drug wars.  Our prisons are so overcrowded with mandatory-sentenced potheads and low level drug dealers that we are releasing rapists, psychopaths and other violent criminals early in order to make room.  Your idea that morality can be enforced through government has not only failed, the attempt has resulted in even more immorality in our society.  Need an example?  How about the jailing of people with chronic pain and terminal diseases because they use marijuana.  You really showed them didn’t you?

The fact is that after your shenanigans, you should be grateful for any reasonably electable moderate Republican presidential hopeful.  Because of your frivolous pursuit of false morality issues, your mindless prostration at the altar of anti-consumer big business and your complete lack of reasonable balance, you have put the entire country in danger.  We are already struggling under the weight of an incompetent Democratic congress, more concerned with posturing, pandering, reversing gains in individual rights and their socialist agenda than with the sensible governance of this country.  Now you would add to that burden a far left president in order to express your unhappiness with not having a rabid conservative as a presidential candidate? 

The bottom line is that true Americans do not want socialism.  True Americans believe in what this country was founded on and what it stands for.  They don’t want the cronies of Alec Baldwin, Arianna Huffington, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jimmy Carter, the communist bomber William Ayers, Rosie O’Donnell, other Hollywood socialist nutjobs or any other left-wing lunatics in the White House.  But if you don’t support your own moderate candidate, it could happen.  And if that happens, it won’t be long before Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran have rights in this country too.  So, far-righters, if you are true Americans, then John McCain should be looking pretty good to you about now.

In a cleverly planned and stealthily executed attack, Israel’s “IDF” delivered a devastating, multi-pronged bombing strike to Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities.  The exact locations of the strikes have not yet been released.  Reportedly though, the buildings and hidden subterranean bunkers containing Iran’s thousands of Uranium enrichment centrifuges were completely destroyed.   Iran immediately decried the violation of its airspace, its sovereignty and threatened massive retaliation….oops…this hasn’t happened yet and I’m not Jeane Dixon or the Psychic Friends Hotline.  What’s my point?

My point is that this will happen soon if the USA doesn’t do it first.  Simply stated, all of the silly jockeying around by the UN, the numerous talks, meetings and the even more numerous sanctions that they have tried, have essentially failed.  And, as is obvious, nothing the UN is doing, or will do, will have any affect whatsoever on Iran’s march towards nuclear engagement in the Middle East.  Iran itself has stated this very thing.  Iran’s rapid sprint towards nuclear arms is driven by its government’s crazed lust for power and control in that region of the world.  It has given off so many obvious signs of its belligerence, it megalomaniacal intentions and its hatred for Israel, the USA, Europe and all of western civilization, that only the mentally-deficient could have missed it. 

Iran’s radical Islamic government is poised to resume the project that Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany failed to complete.  It isn’t just about the Jews, though Iran has already established them as the scapegoats and has re-targeted them for annihilation.  But, of course, neither was it all about the Jews for the Nazis.  Instead the Jews were used as a focus for hatred and the catalyst/excuse for Hitler’s march across Europe with the intentions of enslaving the world.  The philosophy, rationale, propaganda, appeasers, sympathizers, “Big Lie” speeches are all the same.  The only difference is that the “Master Race” is not blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryans but rather radical, violent Islamists instead.

Not all of the Iranian people buy into this philosophy of world-domination and hatred.  But, like the populace of Germany, they too will pay for their radical and evil government.  Hopefully, the surgical strike I described above will be enough to change the demented, self-destructive course of the Iranian radical Islamist government.  But, in any case, remember you read about the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities here in the Truthful Times, first!   Your source for all the news that’s about to happen.

Many, many Americans fought and died for our right to free elections.  From our founding fathers to today’s troops fighting Islamic fanatics overseas, they have traded their blood for our right to vote.   Yet despite their sacrifice, we still have many people who squander their vote.  While part of what this country is founded on is the right for people to be stupid, you would think, if for no other reason than out of gratitude, most people would take their vote seriously.  To take one’s vote seriously, it is necessary to actually think, do a bit of research, analyze the facts and then think again.  After that process has been completed, and even if you still vote “wrongly”, you have at least fulfilled your obligation to give your vote serious consideration.  The people who put forth that effort are not the subject of this article.  But for those who don’t, here’s how to vote stupidly.

1)      Look carefully at your candidate’s appearance.  Does he/she look like you?  Is he/she of the same race, same sex, does he/she wear the same sort of clothes, does he/she talk like you and are they of a similar age?  If they pretty much fit here….rule them in for a vote.

2)      Does the candidate make you “feel” good when they talk?  Do they say uplifting things that make you “like” them?  If so, rule them in for your vote.

3)      Does the candidate represent to you an ideal “sort” of person you would like to see in power?  It’s not necessary to really know them to decide this.  You make this decision based on your feelings…not facts.  If they fit, then rule them in for your vote.

4)      Does the candidate repeat slogans, platitudes, catch-phrases and drivel that mean nothing but sound “good”?  Or does the repetition of such garbage help you feel that he/she is “part” of the group you’d like to identify with?  If so, rule them in for your vote.

5)      Can you discount or ignore the fact that your candidate is stupid, ignorant, narcissistic, dogmatic, elitist, dishonest, unskilled, inexperienced and full of shit?  If so, rule them in for your vote.

6)      Is your candidate a member of the same political party you are and you feel, right or wrong, you always vote the way your party says?  If so then rule them in for your vote.

7)      Can you mentally remove yourself from the consequences of your candidate’s wrong-headed actions despite the cost to your fellow Americans?  If so….rule them in for your vote.

If you follow the above guide when voting, then you too can vote stupidly.  You will be able to join the many Americans who vote with their ass instead of their brains.  You will be able to take proud credit for being one of the idiots who elected the idiot so that he or she can do idiotic things.  And, most importantly, you can send a message to those people who have put their lives at risk for your right to vote.  That is, “see how big an idiot and fool you are/were?  I proved, along with many others, that I’m not worth saving and that I shouldn’t have the right to vote.”   Then maybe, just maybe, you will eventually be able to enjoy a government that doesn’t let you vote, doesn’t let you think, doesn’t let you speak and doesn’t let you choose what to do with your life.  And you can be happy and satisfied knowing that you got what you deserved!

Why did 92% of African-Americans vote for Obama in the Democratic primaries?  Do they know something that the rest of us don’t?  Most of us in the USA don’t know very much about Obama.  He is younger, has less experience and less of a track record than virtually all of the serious presidential candidates in major party election history.  Yet somehow, this 92% is willing to risk our entire country, to say nothing of the rest of the world, by electing this unknown to the most powerful position on the planet.

While there are several other groups of Democratic voters that show strong support for Obama (college students, college-educated white liberals, etc.) none have come close to this virtual homogenous group support level of 92%.  The truth is, it’s nearly impossible to find this amount of almost unanimous support in any group, at any time, for any primary candidate.  What then do they know?  Why can’t the rest of us see it?  Are they smarter than we are?  Is there an “inside track” only certain people are privy to?  It seems almost impossible that this many people in such a large group could have such certain knowledge while the rest of us are completely in the dark.

I am genuinely puzzled by this situation.  It can’t be the sort of things he has said in his speeches because his rhetoric is virtually verbatim from the socialist left’s tired playbook.  He has not proposed any unique or clever solutions to America’s problems.  He hasn’t laid out a unique roadmap to restoring America’s economic might or described a new plan to enable world peace.  He proposes more taxes, more government programs, more entitlements, more government control, less individual rights, appeasement of political monsters and a dangerously naïve approach to the Middle East.  All of which, in one form or another, have been tried in the past and have resulted in disastrous failures and even the fall of once great countries. Yet here we are, and here he is…with 92% support of African-American Democrats.

Am I the only one who finds this blind, lemming-like, credulous support for this unknown “New American Savior” terrifying?  The hair on the back of my neck hasn’t prickled this badly since Sam Neill played Damien in the “Omen”.  And that was only a frigging movie!

Dennis Farina was arrested today at Los Angeles International Airport for forgetting about a pistol that he had in his briefcase.  Airport Security found the handgun while Farina was attempting to board a flight at the airport.  This is possibly one of the dumbest moves by airport security in recent history.  And there are several good reasons why I take this position.

First off, while not common, it is likely that periodically someone who keeps a firearm in his automobile and/or briefcase will be in a hurry and forget about said pistol when rushing about.  When that happens, it is also possible that someone who flies a fair amount, may accidentally try and board an aircraft.  Our security services are fully aware of this sort of happening as it has occurred sporadically ever since the rules about bringing firearms on aircraft were begun.  Such “accidents” occur with even greater frequency regarding knives, other sharp implements and prohibited chemicals.  In most cases, these situations can and will be handled with some degree of common sense.

Secondly, anyone who is reasonably intelligent KNOWS that a gun, in plain sight of an x-ray machine and in a briefcase, will be easily detected.  Without an attempt to disguise, disassemble or substitute with non-metallic parts, the piece will be imaged every time.  Even an idiot intending to smuggle a gun onto an aircraft would not attempt to bring a fully-assembled pistol through luggage that will DEFINITELY be x-rayed.  Therefore, even a bigger idiot knows that most anyone who attempts such a thing is either incredibly stupid, mentally-ill or just plain didn’t remember it was there.  Which category does Dennis Farina belong in (by the way, he is a former police officer)?

Thirdly, it is common to consider criminal intent regarding many legal offenses in America.  However, regarding knee-jerk offenses like firearms, drug crimes and other hot-button issues, intent is rarely considered.  This is due to the fact that if intent were considered, many accidental violators would be released without prosecution and that would decrease arrest and prosecution statistics, decrease law enforcement kudos and upset fanatical politicians.  All of these particular reasons for not considering intent deliberately ignore the purpose of the “criminal justice system” in the first place.  That is of course, “justice”.

While some zealots may state that ignorance of a violation of the law is no excuse.  In reality, overzealous stupidity, lack of common sense and no sense of true justice are far less excusable offenses!  Shame on LAX security and the L.A. criminal “justice” system.

It’s very sad when the so-called “conscience” of America’s conservatives is willing to sell-out the country in a sour grapes temper tantrum because they didn’t get their way.  As reported by the mainstream media, a small block of conservatives have refused to get behind John McCain because he doesn’t represent ALL of their values.  Awwwww, poor little babies!  In fact, it has been claimed that many of them continue to vote for no-chance and withdrawn Republican candidates in order to publicly lodge their protests and, ultimately by their childish activities, weaken McCain’s campaign.  And this accomplishes exactly what?

As a reminder to any of you conservative crybabies that might be reading this, it was your main man (George Bush) his policies and his congress that royally screwed-up the American economy and misdirected America’s military might.  Trust me, I have absolutely no sympathy with the wacked-out and befuddled economic concepts and anti-military positions of the Pollyanna left.  The current Democratic congress is actually worse than what it replaced. That being said, I’m rational enough to see and admit that all was not well with the USA’s legislative houses during the Bush administration.  And, if the conservative sellouts would be honest, they would admit this as well. 

You all (far right conservatives) had your chance to prove that you could run an exemplary government.  And in many ways you failed.  Your administration produced plenty of big-government expansion, budgetary deficits, unnecessarily pro-business-consumer-destructive policies (i.e. the bankruptcy law changes, allowing credit/mortgage providers to run amok) and dumb-ass military decisions.  If NOT for the efforts of John McCain, we would still be trying to run a non-surge military effort in Iraq and you would still be making America appear to the world (and the terrorists) as a militarily incompetent.  The bottom line is that you proved that too much ideological tilting towards your “pure” conservative values fails just as surely as tilting the government to the left!

The bottom line?  Well, crybaby conservatives, shut-up, be man (or woman) enough to admit you screwed-up, throw your support behind someone who can help heal the damage, support our basic constitutional rights, restore American’s faith in their government and the world’s faith in America.  Otherwise your shameful behavior may result in an Obama presidency with a resulting loss in our rights, our income and the collapse of our national security due to the Obama terrorist appeasement program and his idiotic military/international policies.  Wake-up numb nuts, even if you don’t completely get your way, you will at least have an America you still recognize if you do the right thing and support McCain.

Are you sick and tired of the U.S. Constitution getting in the way of change?  Are you annoyed at people spending their own money in ways not approved of by the government?  Are you angry that African-Americans have not been lushly compensated for the unfair treatment of their distant ancestors?  Does it infuriate you that the U.S. government has not tried appeasement with radical Islamic fundamentalists?  Does it gall you that we have reacted harshly to terrorists and have not tried to understand why Israel should be destroyed to make them happy?  Does it really piss you off that ordinary Americans are “allowed” to have firearms?  Are you tired of Americans dreaming of financial success and many of them working to achieve it?  Is it unfair to reward people for industry, creativity and hard work because stupid, lazy, unimaginative ones don’t get compensated equally?

If any of these things bother you and you feel that it’s time to get revenge on America for its insensitivity to your wants, then vote for Obama.  He is your answer because he promises to “fix” these things and bring his sort of “change” to our country.  By electing him as president he promises to undo these “inequities” and bring much more of the American way of life under government control.  Just think of the wonderful utopia awaiting us under President Obama!

Realistically speaking, John McCain, as moderate as he is, will never achieve anything close to the kind of change Obama can and will do.  There is no question that under Bush’s reign, corporate misanthropy (i.e. modifying bankruptcy laws to favor credit card companies, allowing oil companies to run amok, etc.), inappropriate military allocations (i.e. invading Iraq instead of bombing Iranian nuclear facilities, allowing Bin Laden’s network to thrive on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, etc.) and mishandling of the economy all were hallmarks of his regime.  However, he did protect us from further significant terrorist action in the U.S.  I do give him credit for that.  Nonetheless, for some reason, there are people in America so angry at him they feel the need to punish all of America for his transgressions.  And, Obama is their answer.

I, for one, disagree with the premise that being angry at George Bush is significant justification to strip Americans of their freedoms and to gut the American way of life.  Voting for Barack Obama is a vote for revenge, a tacit request for socialism and a selfish dream of lining your pockets with other people’s money.  He offers nothing that will strengthen America, improve our productivity, protect our people, protect our individual freedoms or to even better the lives of lower income Americans.  He represents all of the old failures and oppressive governmental actions tried by previous socialists in the past.  Granted though, if you want revenge on America and her people, vote for Obama.  That’s the reason almost 99% of terrorist leaders around the world support him too!

One thing many Americans probably take for granted is the right to carry a weapon to defend oneself.  In Australia, there are only very few guns you may own, and then they can not be carried on one’s person for self-defence. They can be used for hunting and for target practice as a member of an approved shooting club only.  The carrying of knives for self-defence is also prohibited.

Until recently I had not thought much about these restrictions whilst living in Australia. I had no interest in guns or knives and so hadn’t even thought much about the legalities of carrying weapons.  That is until a personal situation, resulted in me feeling threatened.  The possibility of encountering physical violence suddenly made me realise how onerous the laws on carrying weapons in Australia are.

Here in the USA, I carry a knife.  Not a large one, but I feel safer, knowing that if a situation arose, I would have some means of self-defence.  Maybe it won’t stop a murderer, but hopefully it would give a petty thief a reason to think again, maybe I wouldn’t be such an easy target after all. 

In Australia, just about anything that could be deemed unsafe, is made illegal. Guns, knives, drugs, laser pointers, the list goes on.  Before you know it paper will be made illegal because it could give you a paper cut! Yes, I know this is an extreme example and will never happen, but you get the idea.  So, Americans consider how important your right to carry weapons is, and even if you don’t wish to carry weapons yourself, let it be a personal decision.  Do not let the government take away this constitutional right from you. Because if you do lose this right, you may not realise how important it is, until like me, you are faced with a personal situation where some means of self-defence is necessary to feel safe.

If Barack Obama is elected president of the United States, he may very well be the last black president this country has for a very long time.  With his African-American support running as high as 97%, those supporters had better not be wrong!  Something that few if any of them have considered is what effect a failed Obama presidency would have on African-American credibility and their future political support from across racial lines.

Jimmy Carter’s failed, one-term presidency gave the Democrats a black eye for many years.  How such an intelligent man turned out to be such a political idiot is still subject to speculation today.  For years after the Carter presidency, all it took was to associate his name with anyone and they were immediately hoisted on the Carter petard.  Imagine the fallout when Obama also turns out to be a naïve idiot in world affairs and when his Pollyannaish attitude towards terrorists leads to America’s image crumbling all over the world.  Combine that with his socialist policies seriously damaging the USA’s already tenuous economy and he will have closed the door on another African-American presidency for many years.

This outcome is the risk any group takes when they throw virtually 100% support behind a politician for racial and/or group identity reasons.  No one really knows anything about Obama as a president but everyone knows he is black and knows most of his African-American support is because of it.  The African-American community is taking a terrible risk in this election and the odds are that they will pay for it for many years.  I find that very sad considering how many intelligent, capable black Americans have earned their place of respect in this country.  Through no fault of their own, they will be the ones who will pay the most for Obama’s failure.

How do you turn a publicly reviled, lying, anti-American race-baiter into an acceptable mentor and associate of Barack Obama?  Why you have Bill Moyers interview him of course.  The well-known leftist and off-again-on-again retired PBS commentator did a very recent televised interview with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s pastor and spiritual guide of almost 20 years.   In the difficult to stomach interview-love fest, Moyers did everything to coddle Wright just short of donning knee pads and dropping to the floor in front of him.  It was a sickening thing to watch.

Rather than try and suss out what made the man tick, Moyers spent the interview time allowing Wright to whine about how misunderstood he was and how the so-called 30 second sound bites played by the media misrepresented his “sermons”.  Wright made it clear that if people would just listen to the entire sermons they would see how his comments were taken out of context and that he wasn’t anti-American.  He wanted us to see that he was just bringing his flock the mind of god.  Of course that would be assuming that they believed that god is an anti-American, vindictive racist.  Having seen a goodly portion of the source of several of the sound bites, I can say that Wright should be grateful most people haven’t heard his ran
