For once, I agree with Andrew Sullivan

For once, I agree with Sullivan on something.

Sullivan on the Social Gospel:

And this is why the cooptation of Christianity for various forms of socialism and redistributionism – Obama’s tendency – is worrying to me. Because it isn’t about encouraging charity; it is about the enforcement of “charity” by the strong hand of the state. And in so far as it forcibly takes people’s property from them, it also diminishes their capacity for real charity.

[…]

And the kind of voluntary communism of which Merton speaks likely only in monasteries and religious orders. In the world as it is, there should be some mandatory public provision for the poor, the sick and the indigent. But it should be a safety-net to avoid specific social evils, not a system of redistribution to construct some notion of “social justice” (see Chapter 6 in “The Conservative Soul”). In the end, the social Gospel can make Christianity less, rather than more, likely. The state cannot experience faith; and it cannot express charity. Only individuals can. One by one.

I don’t agree much with Sullivan. But he’s 100% spot on here. That whole social gospel thing scares the crap out of me. In case anyone has forgotten. Jim Jones and his group of followers, who ended up committing mass suicide, (Although some say that there were some who were murdered, but I digress) they were into what was known as the social gospel. Martin Luther King Jr. Also preached the Social Gospel. It’s that while mantra of “You owe me this“, that bothers the crap out of me.

Not smart Jonah, Not smart at all…

I’m not a politically correct person, not by a long shot.

But I think that this article here, is about is close as one can come to basically saying that, “Obama is just a stupid liberal n****r”, without actually saying it. Attempting to equate a requirement for service, in return for college funding to slavery is not, I repeat, NOT a smart thing to do, seeing the whole climate of this election.

I mean, not agreeing with someones political policy is one thing, but this is another. I have to wonder, would Goldberg have brought up Slavery, if Obama was a White Man?

….and here I thought the Republicans were the party of Anti-Slavery and Anti-Racism.

Oh Tweety…..

Chris Matthews, Does it….again.

Video:

I liked the old Media Matter music better, this new one is a bit, shall we say, stale?

The Quote:

MATTHEWS: Up next: They’re the working-class white voters Hillary Clinton won and Barack didn’t. Can Obama now win over the regular folks, white folks, against John McCain? We’ll ask the strategists. You’re watching Hardball.

Sometimes, I think he says stuff like that, intentionally, just to piss the liberals off.

I hate to say it, but I kind of view Matthews as the Bill O’Reilly of MSNBC. (Ha!)

What rubs me to no end, is how some of the morning people use their shows or airtime to push their little political agendas. Andrea Mitchell is a classic example. She loves to belittle the Democrats. Of course, seeing her hubby is Neo-Con Alan Greenspan, that should be no surprise.

Asking legitimate questions is one thing, editorializing disguised as questions, is another. Right Andrea? You Neo-Con slime ball.

Josh Marshall doesn’t know the difference between a Legit McCain ad and a parody…

This is funny:

Click here to read the blog posting about it, by the maker of it.

I mean, how hard is it to look up an web address?

Do we need any further proof that Liberals are just stupid?

Is this the Democrats idea of the new Politics of hope and change?

Hope Change and Commies?

Via Gateway Pundit:

New information reveals that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was indirectly sending messages to the FARC. The Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is designated as a terrorist group by the US government. Speaker Pelosi was doing this while at the same time she refused to bring a free trade agreement with Colombia up for a vote in the US House. In fact, Pelosi took extraordinary steps to block this trade agreement with America’s closest ally in South America.

Funny, anytime a Conservative says that Liberals are just Communists with a fancier name, most liberals heads explode. But this just proves what I’ve believed all along, that Liberal Democrats are nothing more than a watered down form of Communism. I mean, was it not a Democrat senator who threatened to Nationalize our Oil companies?

I rest my case.

Jim Webb says no offically to a V.P. Spot

Via Memeorandum:

MSNBC reports that Jim Webb is saying no to being Obama’s V.P.

“Last week I communicated to Senator Obama and his presidential campaign my firm intention to remain in the United States Senate, where I believe I am best equipped to serve the people of Virginia and this country. Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for Vice President.

“A year and a half ago, the people of Virginia honored me with election to the U.S. Senate. I entered elective politics because of my commitment to strengthen America’s national security posture, to promote economic fairness, and to increase government accountability. I have worked hard to deliver upon that commitment, and I am convinced that my efforts and talents toward those ends are best served in the Senate.

“In this regard, the bipartisan legislative template we were able to put into effect through 18 months of work in order to enact the new, landmark GI Bill will serve as a prototype for my future endeavors in government. This process, wherein we brought 58 Senators from both parties to the table as co-sponsors, along with more than 300 members of the House, gives me renewed confidence that the Congress can indeed work effectively across party lines and address the concerns of our citizens.

“At this time I am also renewing my commitment to work hard to make sure that Senator Obama wins both Virginia and the presidency this November. He is a man who speaks eloquently about our national goals and calls for the practical solutions that must be put into place to obtain them. I will proudly campaign for him.”

Word is that the Democrat card readers are saying that Joe Biden is in the running. Of course, that is strictly rumor.

Gotta love our Liberal Main Stream Media

It seems that according to various British media sources, the United States scored a major victory in Iraq.

Too bad the vast majority of Americans, unless they read blogs, won’t hear about it. That’s because the United States Liberal controlled media is too busy trying to tell Americans that the war in Iraq is lost and that we’re losing, and so forth.

What further proof do we need, that the Liberals in this country, hate America, Our Military and the values that we conservatives hold dear?

It is no wonder that places like the New York Times and other dead wood media sources are losing money left and right and will eventually be put out of business.

The Silence of these media sources speak volumes to me.

Libertarians love Obama?? Wha?

This is crazy…..

Via Rasmussen Reports:

Libertarian voters make up 4% of the nation’s likely voters and they favor Barack Obama over John McCain by a 53% to 38% margin. Three percent (3%) would vote for some other candidate and 5% are not sure. These results, from an analysis of 15,000 Likely Voter interviews conducted by Rasmussen Reports, challenges the conventional wisdom which assumes that strong support for a Libertarian candidate would hurt John McCain.

Why any self respecting Free Market, Pro Gun, Anti-Big Goverment, Anti-Socialist, Pro Capitalist, Libertarian would vote for a big government, anti-Capitalist, Socialist, Marxist like Obama is totally beyond me.

Obama is everything that Libertarianism is not. Big Government, Anti-Gun, Anti-Capitalist, Pro-socialist, Communist, Marxist… (same difference, but….)

But then again, the Libertarian party did choose Bab Barr for the Presidential candidate. That says quite a bit, considering that Bob Barr was 100 percent against everything that he is running for now. Which is, well, odd.

I think it would not be a bit of embellishment to say that, in the words of the great Bob Dylan, the times they are changin’….

….and for whatever it’s worth….. Not THIS Libertarian! Not on Barry’s Best day!

Barack Obama's birth certificate…… a fake…

According to the Israel Insider, The birth certificate posted at the DailyKos and being used at Barack Obama’s fight the smears website, is nothing more than well produced fake. Kinda like the rest of his Political Career.

Quote:

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fake Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same Daily Kos blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider’s revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the diligent detective work of independent investigative journalists (led by JimJ and Texas Darling) and imaging professionals such as Polarik in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate The Daily Kos, a “progressive” blog site, and the Obama campaign’s “Fight the Smears” website, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance. Moreover, the blog and the campaign have been negligent in allowing the promotion of obviously forged and fake official documents together with the purported image of Obama’s birth certificate.

This is could be quite deadly, especially if Obama’s campaign did not check to see if that Certificate was legit or not. I would advise Hillary to keep on standby, because if the Main Stream Media picks up on this, Obama wil be done.

Stay Tuned.

43 percent of Democrats still say "No Thanks" to Obama

According to a New CNN/Opinion Research Poll, 43 Percent of Democrats still say that they’d rather stay home, than vote for Obama.

Quote:

One week after Sen. Hillary Clinton made a public show of unity with Sen. Barack Obama, a new survey suggests supporters of the New York senator are increasingly less likely to follow her lead.

A growing number of Clinton supporters polled say they may stay home in November instead of casting their ballot for Obama, an indication the party has yet to coalesce around the Illinois senator four weeks after the most prolonged and at times divisive primary race in modern American history came to a close.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Friday, the number of Clinton supporters who plan to defect to Republican Sen. John McCain’s camp is down from one month ago, but — in what could be an ominous sign for Obama as he seeks to unify the party — the number of them who say they plan to vote for Obama is also down, and a growing number say they may not vote at all.

One thing to remember, it’s very early in the election cycle. These numbers will change before November. I believe that because the said importance of this election, I believe that the Democrats, who are not supporting Obama, will take a long hard look at McCain, and take a long hard look at Obama, and will come around and vote their party. Raw emotions aside, they will vote for Obama.

Of course, the Neo-Cons and McCain supporters are wetting themselves, because of this news, but of course, they want to keep a Republican in the White House, to protect their investments. They want to keep that “Enron loophole” open, so, that they can continue to remain wealthy.

Do I believe that Obama flip flopped? No, I think he was clear on his policy, but I also believe he is refining his message to appeal to the center, which is quite upsetting to the far left, like the Huffingtons and the Kossaks.

Again, I think before the election in November, these poll numbers will change. Stay Tuned.
