The Obligatory Race Card Posting

Yeah, they’ve went there.

Here’s my response.. (Content Warning!)

If the “One” thinks that this is going to help. He’s wrong, very wrong. Not everyone buys into that stuff. He’d better drop this and move on.

Biden to Palin – Kiss off Bitch!

I cannot say that I blame Biden here…

Via CNN Political Ticker

Joe Biden Thursday night told Sarah Palin not to lecture him on patriotism, after weeks of attacks mocking him for his statement the wealthy should be patriotic and pay higher taxes because not enough has been asked of them.

“Sarah Palin had great fun saying Joe Biden thinks paying taxes is patriotic. Well, let me tell you what Joe Biden thinks,” the Delaware senator said at an outdoor rally. “Joe Biden thinks that anybody who takes millions of dollars offshore to avoid paying their fair share is unpatriotic.”
The Obama-Biden campaign has accused John McCain of saying publicly he would close offshore banking loopholes, but saying otherwise in private.
“That is not patriotic and it will stop, it will stop in an Obama-Biden administration! Enough! I’ve had it up to here! Don’t lecture me on patriotism,” shouted Biden, getting drowned out by the applause of his supporters. “I’m dead tired of being taken advantage of. I’m getting tired of it.”

I have to agree with this, as much as I hate to admit it. For 8 solid years, anyone who dared to challenge this brain-dead Presidential administration on anything was panned or condemned as Anti-American and or un-Patriotic. (Present Company Included…in other words me!)

Let’s hear more of this Joe, Much more of it! John McCain and that harpy Bitch running with him are a damned extension of that idiotic legacy of painting people as un-American, and I for one would like to see it end.

I am no fan of socialism, at all. But he’s got a damned good point here.

John McCain and the capitalization of fear

I was reading this piece by Ana Marie Cox and it suddenly dawned on me what is happening. I am quite surprised that I did not think of it before.

John McCain is essentially doing what Hillary Clinton tried to do and failed harshly at doing it. It also seems like John McCain’s campaign has some of the same issues that Hillary’s campaign had as well. One hand not knowing what the other is doing.

Quoting Ana:

Here in Lakeville, the traveling press was pretty sure we’d see more of the kind of vicious anti-Obama attitude that’s becoming a hallmark of McCain rallies of late.
As the town hall started, McCain was off with more pep than usual. Making the same old jokes, but with energy that reminded us of “the old McCain.” But would he use his power for good or evil? An audience member teed up a great big softball that could totally hit a dark side home run, asking, “We want you to fight at your next debate… we want to see s REAL fight at the debate, we want a STRONG leader for the next four years.” That is Minnesota nice for “RevWrightACORNAyers,” etc.
But then something weird happens: He acknowledges the “energy” people have been showing at rallies, and how glad he is that people are excited. But, he says, “I respect Sen. Obama and his accomplishments.” People booed at the mention of his name. McCain, visibly angry, stopped them: “I want EVERYONE to be respectful, and lets make sure we are.”

The biggest difference is that this time, it is Right Wingers hating on a Left Wing candidate. The biggest notable exception to this, is this guy here. But he’s an idiot and everyone ignores him. Now, do I believe that there is some crazy person out there who will be inspired to blow Obama away at the first chance he gets? I highly doubt it. Obama is so damn well-protected that he can’t even take a damn leak by himself. So, the chances of that happening are slim to none, in this day and age of super high security. The events of JFK and Ronald Reagan were a wake up call the Secret Service and after that Presidents were so well protected, that something of that nature will most likely never happen again.

Another big and glaring difference is that the McCain campaign, in a indirect sort of a way stoked this whole “Obama is a terrorist” mentality up. Although, to be fair to John McCain and his campaign; these “Obama is terrorist” e-mails had been floating around for a very long time, long before it was ever brought up by John McCain and the campaign. They simply did what Hillary’s campaign attempted to do and were pretty successful at it, for a short time; they capitalized on the fear behind it. However, in the end, it ended up blowing up in their faces, just like it did with Hillary’s campaign.

The lesson to be learned here in this election is this; if you are going to run a Presidential Campaign that Capitalizes on the use of fear, you better be prepared to deal with the extremist factions and reactions of your political party. Because if you not properly prepared to deal with such a thing, it can and will blow up in your face. It also helps to, if you have a political campaign that it settled 100 percent on a campaign strategy.

This is what Sarah Palin and John McCain have created

This is what John McCain and Sarah Palin have created:

OCTOBER 8–Angered by a delay in the receipt of his voter registration card, a Louisiana man today threatened to shoot election officials, claiming that he urgently needed to cast a ballot to “keep the nigger out of office,” according to police. Wade Williams, 75, was arrested this morning on a felony terrorizing charge after allegedly calling the Registrar of Voters and warning that he would come to the state office and empty his shotgun unless he got his registration card. Using profanity and racial slurs, Williams told a state official “about needing to vote to ‘keep the nigger out of office,” according to an Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office affidavit, a copy of which you’ll find here. Though the document does not name the candidate to which Williams is so violently opposed, it seems likely he was referring to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. After being arrested at his Monroe home, Williams was booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center, where the below mug shot was snapped. En route to the jail, he “continued his ‘tirade’ about niggers and also stated that he had a shotgun, but had it hidden at his residence,” reported Lt. Michael Judd. (2 pages)

I often wonder, do we live Russia or in America? Thank You Senator McCain, you bastard.

Brutally Honest: I have lost all faith in the Republican brand

I have held off on Blogging about the recent events here in the election. Partially because of personal reasons, I was a bit busy doing some other stuff with my family and partially because I quite honestly have no defense for what I see as just abject and absolute racism and the stoking of racial hatred in this country, by the party that claims to be the party that liberated blacks from slavery.

Whether the Republican Party or the Conservatives want to admit this or not, but Sarah Palin is doing nothing more than bringing shame to the Republican Party. With her attempting to paint Barack Obama as some sort of terrorist, her allowing and even encouraging people to accuse him of treason and even allowing someone to utter a death threats aloud. I will say this, and if anyone wants to try to paint me as a Liberal, feel free, I just do not care anymore, The Republican Party that I am seeing right before my eyes, is not the Republican Party that I remember as a young boy. This crap is not the Ronald Reagan conservatism that I grew up admiring and respecting. As far as I am concerned, the Republican Party has become a Ku Klux Klan without the robes.

I believe that it is fair and very important to note, that Sarah Palin has ties to terrorism too. Her Pastor was and still is a terrorist by the Bush Administration’s definition. Before he became the Pastor of Wasilla Assembly of God, which she attended for many years, Pastor Thomas Muthee was a missionary to the country of Africa, while there; he decided that there was a local woman in the town of Kiambu, of the name “Mama Jane” who was by his own definition “A Witch.”

Eventually, after repeated harassment by the local law enforcement there, she fled the town. Furthermore, Sarah Palin’s own husband was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, until 2002, of whom its founder, Joe Vogler said, “I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.” Joe Vogler was killed in 1993 he is buried in Canada.

Therefore, having said all the above, it is apparent to this writer; that Sarah Palin is nothing more than an abject hypocrite. By her and her party’s definition of “Terrorist,” she is guilty of the very same charges.

I am sorry to say this, but if John McCain continues to allow this sort of nonsense to continue in his campaign, especially when the Nation’s economy is in the damned toilet. When our stock market and financial institutions are being propped up by the United States Government due to a lack of regulation, which was caused by the utter incompetent of one political party and the inaction of another that was in the majority for over 6 years. If John McCain allows this sort of idiotic nonsense to continue, the Republican Party is going to lose and lose very hard, come this election in November.

The AP Plays the race card and again, I must correct it.

mr_magoo

Greetings, It appears that our communist liberal friends have decided that our beloved Republican Vice President Candidate is a racist bigot. Here is what these idiotic people have written:

In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.
Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as “not like us” is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American.
Most troubling, however, is how allowing racism to creep into the discussion serves McCain’s purpose so well. As the fallout from Wright’s sermons showed earlier this year, forcing Obama to abandon issues to talk about race leads to unresolved arguments about America’s promise to treat all people equally.
John McCain occasionally looks back on decisions with regret. He has apologized for opposing a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He has apologized for refusing to call for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol.
When the 2008 campaign is over McCain might regret appeals such as Palin’s perhaps more so if he wins.

Once again, our Communist Liberals have confused freedom of speech and the statement of facts. So, to instruct these mentally depraved people, as I have time and time before, I will show you what racist is, and what it is not.

First off, THIS is racist:

New York Times white washes the Ayers/Obama story…

Typical, So typical. The Communist New York Times does the Bill Ayers story. Basically the paper lies and says there’s no connections. I say B.S. there are many connections. There also Obama’s connections to Communism as well, that no one, except for me and handful of other Bloggers want to talk about.

Anyhow, I am voting for Bob Barr, at least that way I’ll know that I am not responsible for putting a Closet Communist in the White House or a an 73 year old Neo-Conservative in there either. I might not agree with everything Bob Barr says, but at least he’s the real deal.

Editorial: Do we really want another Neo-Conservative in the White House?

It is not every day that I find myself in agreement with Keith Olbermann. In fact, fifty percent of the time, I find myself talking back to the television, when his show is on. However, this time is a huge exception. In this video, Keith comes to the same conclusion that I myself came to, while watching the debates Thursday night. That conclusion is that Sarah Palin, for all her good looks, down to earth charm, and Conservative values is nothing more than President George W. Bush in a woman’s body.

The Video:

Honestly, what else are independent minded people like me supposed to think? While I am a Libertarian Paleo-Conservative, I am also quite the Constitutionalist. It is no myth at all the Vice-President Dick Cheney literally stepped all over our Nation’s Constitution. In fact, I can honestly tell you that while I do not fear George W. Bush, I frankly do fear Dick Cheney, which is Because Dick Cheney is in my opinion the perfect embodiment of a right wing fascist.

I read with great amusement recently where Neo-Conservative publisher Joseph Farah stated that fascism is a left wing doctrine. While he is possibly correct in his definition of the word and the philosophy behind it, if he thinks that fascism is only limited to the liberal side of the political fence he is very highly mistaken. One need only take one look at the Bush Administration’s attempts to silence those who pointed out that Bush and his corrupt Administration were wrong about Weapons of Mass Destruction, which they frantically waved in front of the American people, as an excuse to invade a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the September 11 attacks.

Then during this Vice-Presidential debate, we have a Vice President candidate carping about how she wants to expand the powers of the office of Vice-President. Is this ignorant woman serious? This is supposed to be a Republican candidate for President of United States, A Conservative, and Conservatives believe in limited Government, less taxes and individual freedom. Yet this woman wants to expand the role of the Vice President and thereby increase the size of our Government. Is there any other Independent Conservative-minded person that sees something terribly wrong with this picture, besides me?

While I do applaud the accomplishments of this woman, (What little they might be) I just cannot sit idly by and not speak out against this woman’s Neo-Conservatism and Rockefeller type of Conservatism. America, especially here in Michigan, has suffered through eight years of George W. Bush’s idiotic failed policies. We cannot afford four to eight more years of royally screwing the middle class, while Wall Street gets richer and richer. We cannot afford four to eight more years of George W. Bush and frankly, Dick Cheney in a skirt!

I urge everyone that happens to read this blog, Conservative and Liberal. Republican, Democrat, and everyone in between to really take a good hard look at this woman and her running mate and think about it; do we really want another President like the one we have in there? While I am not a big fan of the socialist agenda of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, I honestly have to wonder, would America be better off with a Democrat in the White House, who might raise taxes a little and might put forth some socialist programs for those who might actually need them?

There is no mistake, the idea that Government will expand under an Obama Administration is nothing more than a well-manufactured myth. Our Government is already oversized as it is and anyone who believes that John McCain will reduce the size of the Government is suffering from delusions of grandeur. He will no more reduce the size of our Government, than I will take up the cause for Roman Catholicism.

I firmly believe that it is high time that the American people, political pundits, and the media pull their collective heads out of the sand and begin to think for themselves and really ask themselves, what do we want for a President? Because if we make the tragic mistake that we made in 2000 and 2004, America will become nothing more than a wasteland. Instead of people looking at America with pride, they will look away in utter horror and disbelief that we as American citizens allowed our country and ourselves to become. We simply cannot afford to be asleep at the switch this election season.

Thanks for reading.

Friday Polls – Obama is ahead

I was over on FiveThirtyEight.com and was looking at the polls. Quite frankly, What I am seeing astounds me. Surprise

Here’s the summary of the latest polls:

Like I wrote earlier, I was not surprised that John McCain pulled out of Michigan. I knew he was doing bad here, I just was not aware how bad he was doing here. According to this site; Obama is at 89% and McCain is at only 11%. Good Godfrey! No Wonder he left! Doh

In fairness, Obama has pulled out of states too, but not any of the important battleground states like Michigan. No one, has ever done that before, ever.

Another Tidbit of news, there are some here in Michigan within the Republican Party that are not amused that John McCain decided to pack it in so early. Mark Hemingway at the National Review Online’s Blog “The Corner” reports that Chuck Yob, a former Republican National Committee Member from Michigan for nearly twenty years sent out the following letter:

Governor Palin,
I saw your comments on Fox News today and described in the Detroit Free Press article below. I wholeheartedly agree with you that the decision by the McCain campaign to pull out of Michigan was the wrong decision.
We have all been wrong at times, and I think this is a decision that will be corrected in a couple of weeks. We were ahead three points as of a week ago according to MRG, a polling firm that I trust more than any national pollster.
I talked to Michigan Republicans and McCain supporters on a conferencecall last night and they vowed to redouble their efforts. Indeed, there will still be a campaign for John McCain in Michigan whether it is sanctioned by the professionals in Washington DC or not.
Senator McCain has great appeal to Michigan voters dating back to his 2000 campaign. He is a Maverick, independent-minded leader who has bipartisan appeal to the voters of our state. He is the perfect Presidential candidate for Michigan.
I also strongly believe that you are the best possible Vice Presidential choice for Michigan. You kicked Joe Biden’s butt in the debate yesterday by showing your blue collar appeal and highlighting why Senator McCain’s plans for tax cuts, increased energy supply, and strong foreign policy are what is needed for our country’s future.
We also know that Obama’s tax increases, $1 trillion spending promises, and willingness to befriend dangerous rouge leaders is not the right prescription for our problems.
Democrats have failed the workers of Michigan. Michigan voters know that when Jennifer Granholm increased taxes it cost Michigan jobs. Michigan voters know when Kwame Kilpatrick promised new leadership for Detroit it led to failure. Most importantly, Michigan voters know that Barack Obama’s association with Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and other questionable individuals had important roles in developing his worldview that is dangerous for our future.
I agree with what you said on Fox News today and I hereby invite you to come to Michigan immediately. The good people of Macomb County, Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, and Grand Rapids await your response.
Your Friend and Loyal Supporter of McCain-Palin 2008,
Chuck Yob
Michigan Co-Chairman
McCain-Palin 2008
Republican National Committee Member 1989-2008
Former Vice Chairman, Republican National Committee
PS: I look forward to talking to you and Senator McCain about this.
PSS: We have MANY requests for Todd to come to Michigan.

Something tells me, and I do not claim to be a political expert, pundit or anything else. But my gut tells me that McCain just made a serious tactical error in throwing in the towel here. I believe it will cost him votes come November. The Conservative base here in Michigan might be small and not a forceful as Democratic Party’s base. But they are a force to be dealt with and will not forget McCain’s abandonment of this state anytime soon.

Just another comedy of errors from that Campaign. The only problem is, this is a real election and not a comedy sketch.
