David Brooks informs the World that Obama is not a Liberal goo-goo….

Whew! That’s a relief…

So, says David Brooks.

But he does say this:

God, Republicans are saps. They think that they’re running against some academic liberal who wouldn’t wear flag pins on his lapel, whose wife isn’t proud of America and who went to some liberationist church where the pastor damned his own country. They think they’re running against some naïve university-town dreamer, the second coming of Adlai Stevenson.

But as recent weeks have made clear, Barack Obama is the most split-personality politician in the country today. On the one hand, there is Dr. Barack, the high-minded, Niebuhr-quoting speechifier who spent this past winter thrilling the Scarlett Johansson set and feeling the fierce urgency of now. But then on the other side, there’s Fast Eddie Obama, the promise-breaking, tough-minded Chicago pol who’d throw you under the truck for votes.

This guy is the whole Chicago package: an idealistic, lakefront liberal fronting a sharp-elbowed machine operator. He’s the only politician of our lifetime who is underestimated because he’s too intelligent. He speaks so calmly and polysyllabically that people fail to appreciate the Machiavellian ambition inside.

[….]

All I know for sure is that this guy is no liberal goo-goo. Republicans keep calling him naïve. But naïve is the last word I’d use to describe Barack Obama. He’s the most effectively political creature we’ve seen in decades. Even Bill Clinton wasn’t smart enough to succeed in politics by pretending to renounce politics.

I can’t say I disagree with this. He proved this when he op-ed out of the campaign finance. So, in short, he’s just another slick Liberal. Oh sure, he’ll get elected, go to the White House and not do a damn thing that he promised. Just that simple.

A Damning Article….

I want to bring an article to your attention. This article is found over at the McClatchy Washington Bureau, and it’s about an Taliban Ambassador, who welded power at Gitmo.

I am not going to quote it over here, at all. Because it requires the reader to look at the whole story. Now, I’ll let it be known, I have zero sympathy for this guy, he was and still is a member of the Taliban. Who was giving asylum to Osama Bin Ladin. However, the part that strikes me as very disturbing is how we abused their Religion, How we beat them, how we simply treated those people like dirt. Yes, I know we stopped, eventually. But it is the very fact, that we did abuse our prisoners of war.

This is a stain, that will never be removed from the consciousness of America. It is now our stain, our mistake, and we will pay for that mistake, for generations to come. We as Americans will forever be known, as the people who tortured our enemies and are just as bad as the empires of Vietnam, Japan, and other countries who partook in this awful practice. There was a time, when it was known that America did not allow this sort of thing, but that too, like many things in this great Country, are gone forever. Because of this, we are a worse Country for it.

It would be foolish and overly optimistic to think that we could overcome this sort of a blemish, but the fact remains that we brought this stain upon ourselves and it will take decades to even get this out of the active memory of those who wish to bring harm to this country.

Breaking News: FISA Deal Reached

Many of the Blogging Media outlets are reporting that a deal on FISA has been reached.

Most of the left is pissed, saying that it’s the same law that was rejected before. The Right seems to be pleased.

Should be interesting, to say the least.

Obama Passes on Campaign Financing, Republican's heads explode.

Click here to read all about it.

My reaction?

It can be summed up in 3 words….

Big Honking Deal!

John McCain is going to get his Anus handed to him on a silver platter come November, so, this, is not going to matter, to the General Public at all.

So, while principles are very important, being separated from George W. Bush and a new Direction in Iraq, A New direction for our Nations economy is much, much, more important than this.

Watch the Liberal Commies run with this story….

Here’s your Anti-Capitalist, Liberal commie headline for today….

Quote:

Four Western oil companies are in the final stages of negotiations this month on contracts that will return them to Iraq, 36 years after losing their oil concession to nationalization as Saddam Hussein rose to power.

Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total and BP — the original partners in the Iraq Petroleum Company — along with Chevron and a number of smaller oil companies, are in talks with Iraq’s Oil Ministry for no-bid contracts to service Iraq’s largest fields, according to ministry officials, oil company officials and an American diplomat.

The deals, expected to be announced on June 30, will lay the foundation for the first commercial work for the major companies in Iraq since the American invasion, and open a new and potentially lucrative country for their operations.

The no-bid contracts are unusual for the industry, and the offers prevailed over others by more than 40 companies, including companies in Russia, China and India. The contracts, which would run for one to two years and are relatively small by industry standards, would nonetheless give the companies an advantage in bidding on future contracts in a country that many experts consider to be the best hope for a large-scale increase in oil production. –Deals With Iraq Are Set to Bring Oil Giants Back – NYTimes.com

When I first read it, I thought…”So?” and then here’s the Moonbat line in the story:

There was suspicion among many in the Arab world and among parts of the American public that the United States had gone to war in Iraq precisely to secure the oil wealth these contracts seek to extract. The Bush administration has said that the war was necessary to combat terrorism. It is not clear what role the United States played in awarding the contracts; there are still American advisers to Iraq’s Oil Ministry.

Nice Accusation, with, of course, Zero Proof.

This should be interesting to watch, and watch the Liberal Democrat use this an excuse to Nationalize the United States oil industry.

If there was any proof needed that Liberals are just commies

Now the Liberals want to Nationalize our Oil refineries.

You know, people will blanch or laugh when I say this, but here’s the proof. Welcome to the new Che Nation, thanks to the God-less Commie Liberals.

Larry Sinclair holds Press Conference and gets arrested

Man, go to bed early and all kinds of stuff comes up. WOW!

It seems that Larry Sinclair, the guy who is, in fact, a convicted criminal, who has made some pretty wild and quite unbelievable accusations against Obama. was arrested yesterday after a circus-like press conference yesterday.

Reason Magazine was there and reports:

How did Sinclair hold up? Rather terribly. He started with a lengthy statement that admitted most (not all) of his crimes and dispatched Sibley to run around the room with a microphone. As Seth Colter Walls recounts, most of the questions were legalistic and (somewhat) credulous. Sinclair was asked who funded the event (donors, over the internet), how he made his living (he’s on disability), and whether Obama was “well hung” (I’m not going to dignify his answer here). The only new “evidence” he presented was the name of a limo driver and the bar where he claimed to have met Obama (who, in Sinclair’s story, used his real name and job title as he rendevouzed with a cruising criminal he’d never met before).

It also seems that the ending of the Press Conference didn’t not go so well either:

“Thank you.” Sinclair moved on and Sibley refused to let me ask another question. Why didn’t I wait until the end of the press conference and rush up to the accuser? The second Sinclair stopped taking questions, he fled the room and reporters were denied access to anyone but Sibley. I was a little disappointed until I heard the reason. Larry Sinclair was arrested after the press conference and is being held by the Washington, D.C. metropolitan police. He’s been charged as a fugitive from justice; one of his warrants can be seen here.

So much for making a big impression of the Main Stream Media. Anyhow, I predict that this will be yesterdays news by later today. Although, it did kind of strike me as quite funny that the Police would show up and have the man arrested, Although, from what I read, a couple of talk show jocks were behind that.

I also noticed something else, AmericaBlog Reports:

In his post about Larry Sinclair, the now-jailed (again) guy spreading bizarre rumors about Obama, Ben Smith notes the following:

At the Press Club, Avi also ran into Will Bower, a sometimes-Huffington Post blogger who founded “Party Unity, My Ass” – a group for die-hard Clinton supporters that are now backing McCain – and was invited by the McCain campaign last weekend to meet with the presumptive Republican nominee, and called Sinclair’s story “worth exploring.”

And from Ben’s post 4 days ago, we confirm that Will Bower was in fact invited, and did attend, a private meeting with McCain last weekend. Anyone else find it interesting that McCain is wooing a guy who is telling the media that Sinclair’s smears are “worth exploring”? I’d love to know what the McCain campaign’s involvement is here, whether they talked to Bower about this story, whether Bower told them he was going to the press conference, whether they’re now prepared to reject and denounce Bower for trying to push this story? It’s just a bit sleazy finding John McCain’s name mixed up in all of this.

Now that would be some news, McCain springs the guy out and lets him tell his story to the McCain supporters. Although, I highly and seriously doubt that McCain’s people would even touch this story or this guy. Because if he is largely discredited, and McCain used this, it would blow up in his face. Hell, even Huckabee even said if the G.O.P. tried to demonize Obama that they would pay for it dearly.

Like I said, this rather silly story will be yesterday’s news by noon today.

Muslims Barred from Picture at Detroit Obama Event

The Politico reports:

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.

The campaign has apologized to the women, both Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.

Of course, the Terrorist supporting CAIR issued their statement:

“Although we welcome the Obama campaign’s apology, we are extremely concerned about the level of Islamophobia in our society that would prompt other minorities to view Muslim supporters as potential liabilities. We hope that Senator Obama will personally apologize to the two women and that he decries the current Islamophobic climate in our nation that is not only attacking him but has even jaded some within his own campaign.”

You mean The United States Armed Forces hasn’t bombed their offices yet? A Pity.

Seriously people, what further proof do we need that this man isn’t ready to be president.

Update: Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this or not, But if John McCain’s staffers had pulled something like this, the level of outrage would be deafening, and He would have been shamed out of the race. But when Barry’s people does it, it is no big deal and will be yesterday’s news by tomorrow.

Reply to John Cole

Hey John-Boy…

Just one thing to say there, you Commie Liberal Fascist Asshole.

Fuck Off….

If you’re Blog is any indication of the intelligence level that runs in your family. I can certainly see where you got it from.

I can also see where you get your disrespectful attitude too.

Now go play pivot boy to your circle jerk Liberal Boyfriends and have a nice day.

Is this Barack Obama's Idea of Hope and Change and New Politics?

(H/T to WorldNetDaily)

Senator Barack Obama claims to be the Senator of Hope and Change, and of New Politics.

If this is the case, then what the heck do you call this? Click here, Please.

I mean, I can see people not liking the site, But threats? Foul Language? Why can’t Obama supporters handle criticism of their so-called “messiah?”

I mean, what else do we need to see, to finally figure out, that this man is nothing more than some sleazy Chicago politician?

At this point, he could be promising a million bucks for every US Citizen, I still wouldn’t vote for him. Not because he is black, but because he’s a fake, offering false hope, and pipe dreams, idealism and smoke and mirrors. All the while taking your money and laughing behind your back.

If that Bastard gets elected, I fear the direction that this country will take. He must be defeated. There is no more question about, he must be defeated at ALL costs.
