The Following was made by me. It is my feelings towards those who opposed and still oppose the help that the Detroit Auto Industry needs. It might cost me readers, but it is how I feel.

Thank you for your support
Update: I posted this for one reason and one reason alone, Washington D.C. will hand over 4 BILLION dollars to Wall Street banks and not even flinch, but when Detroit needs help, they are like “You need a plan.” I am not saying that the companies are not at fault. But it just strikes me as pretty damned funny that Wall St. Gets that help and Detroit gets told to go fuck themselves, in essence. So, Yeah, I’m a little pissed off and a bit jaded at this point. Can’t you tell??!
You hear that loud sucking sound? That’s the sound of General Wesley Clark, the traitor the United States Military, who is now sucking up to President-Elect B. Hussein Obama.
On Tuesday, our country made history — electing Barack Obama President of the United States.
As I walked onto the field in Grant Park — there were thousands of us around the podium — a couple of reporters asked me what I thought of this. “Transformational,” I said, “but, ask Ernest Green, right here, who was one of the original young people at Central High who broke segregation in the South. Ask him!”
It was a humbling and deeply moving experience to be there with Ernest and with former Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater, Ambassador Sam Brown and his wife, and so many others who have shared our passion to set this country on the right course. And to see the faces of all around us, representing all the diversity that Barack cited in his remarks. Some were jubilant, some were softly sobbing, some were joyous, a couple were watching others in the crowd. Cell phones and cameras were everywhere as people called friends and families to share the experience.
This was, truly, a transformational event.
What a traitor to our United States Military! What a traitor to the Republic! He should be court martial’ed and put in prison. I could think of a few others things that should happen to him too, but because I don’t want to be accused to threatening someone, I’ll keep my damn thoughts to myself, least the idiot Liberal thought police come after me.
A damn disgrace to the Military. This is treason and is unforgivable in my book. 😡
I am just now writing about this. I apologize. I did not get in the bed till 3:00 in the morning.
It is done; Barack Obama, by a fair and democratic election has been elected to the office of President of the United States of America.
I did not vote for him. I voted my Libertarian principles; however, I could not be more pleased by this man’s election to the office of President of United States of America. Why? Let me explain. It is not lost on this writer, that the Republican Party, in the last eight years, has become enamored and fully entrenched with Neo-Conservatism. It is this writers opinion, that Neo-Conservatism will be credited with causing the Republican Party to lose this election.
It is no surprise that anger,fear and finger pointing have began with the Republican Party. It is this writers opinion that all of this will be for nought, including a huge meeting of the minds, unless the Republican Party stands up and expels the Neo-Conservatives OUT of the Republican Party. These pro-war, ex-democrats are the cancer that have caused the Republican Party to be marginalized.
The Republican Party needs to be punished, and punished harshly, for one; electing a President based upon family name. For two; for allowing a President to take a nation to war based upon flimsy intelligence, without demanding to see more inclusive evidence supporting the claims of the President and his administration. For three; for allowing a President to trample upon the one document that this writer holds dear, The United States Constitution. Not to mention the many cases of corruption, the fact that John McCain and the entire Republican Party ran a election campaign based upon fear, instead of facts. The American people are just not that stupid, they know when they have been duped, and they just were not going to be lied to again.
Not to mention the many cases of blatant and subtle racism that took place during this election. Yes, I know, there was much of it on the left too. But does that excuse the fact that Conservatives partook in it? No. it does not. Republicans and Conservatives are supposed to be better than that. The Republican Party is the party, of whom Abraham Lincoln came from. The same Abraham Lincoln that said:
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.” … My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. – A letter to Horace Greeley, editor of The New York Tribune – August 22, 1862.
Do you now see why it upset me so much, when I saw Republicans acting like Democrats?
Having said all the above, I congratulate President Elect Obama. I will continue to Blog about Politics, I am not going anywhere, I will praise him for the things that I agree with, I will criticize for things that I do not.
As I said at the beginning of this piece, I did not vote for him, but he is my President and I will respect his office. I encourage others to do the same.
Yes, I did go vote this morning. Yes, I did take the Camera. First the pictures:
And…. Off we go!
I didn’t think there would be many cars at the voting precinct, well, needless to say, I was very wrong!
Did I mention that there were many cars?
Of course, the propaganda masters were out. But I took the bypass to get away from them.
The line was LONG…. But it moved very quickly, people were very friendly, as friendly as one can be at eight O’clock in the morning.
The line moved very quickly, the voting staff was very professional. They even verified my voting information while in the line.
Of course, a trip to a public school to vote, would not be complete without exposure to liberal propaganda. Yes, let’s study and celebrate Multi-Culturalism. Translation: Let’s be ashamed of our ethnic heritage, be ashamed of our forefather mistakes, and embrace Illegal Aliens in our country. I think not!
Well, those were the pictures that I could take. I was not allowed to snap photos inside the voting area, Which is understandable. I had one moron who snarled, “I don’t want any pictures taken of me!” () I said nothing. I wanted to tell him not to worry, because he was nothing I wanted to photograph anyhow. Let’s just say that I did not want to break my camera.
Some things that I saw that stuck out in my mind. An elderly man, who was easily every bit of 75 or older, barely able to walk; who walked with the assistance of a cane. Who came out to vote. I believe that this election is that important to people. Which is absolutely amazing.
The precinct did have plenty of ballots, the line moved very quickly. There were no hassles at all. The election staff here was very friendly. There was an election ballot challenger, he was from the Republican Party. (Surprise there boy!) He was eyeballing the people voting. I somehow doubt that he is going to find any problems around here.
I am glad that that I went early. Because I believe had I waited, I would have been in line much longer.
For what it is worth, I did vote a straight Libertarian ticket this year. Last night, I did have some second thoughts about it, I did consider voting for Obama, however, principles won out over emotions.
It will be an interesting today and this evening and I will be here Blogging on the interesting stuff.
The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, “This is really important,” and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.
You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.
They — you — you can already see what the arguments will be during the general election. People will say, “Ah, Obama and Al Gore, these folks, they’re going to destroy the economy, this is going to cost us eight trillion dollars,” or whatever their number is. Um, if you can’t persuade the American people that yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage, changing lightbulbs and more efficient appliance, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy, the economy would benefit.
If we can’t make that argument persuasively enough, you — you, uh, can be Lyndon Johnson, you can be the master of Washington. You’re not going to get that done.
Sorry, you cannot spin that. Obama, in essence, is saying that he will cause one industry to collapse. All so he can promote his own agenda of “Green” energy. The problem with that is this, there are no tested, proven and ready alternative forms of energy, yet.
Ed from HotAir weighs in:
Energy prices skyrocketing will leave the economy in tatters, as we saw earlier this year. While no one doubts the need to start transitioning to better sources of energy, the manner in which that gets done means the difference of whether it gets done at all. A stagnant or receding economy does not produce scientific breakthroughs, especially when government both increases taxes and imposes steep cost burdens on energy. That cuts into both manufacturing and R&D, because as profits fall, fewer dollars go into research — which means that all of these wonderful developments would get delayed, or go unrealized altogether.
We need to plan for the transition better than what Obama proposes. We need to use our own reserves of oil, natural gas, coal, and shale to cushion the economy while we develop the alternatives and build the infrastructure to deliver it. That’s what John McCain proposed in his Lexington Project.
Price shocks on energy is the last thing this economy needs. It would be worse than the taxes Obama promises to impose on investment, and would have the same depressive effect. It’s an utter disaster.
Not only this, but I also believe that if Obama does this, Jobs will be lost. I guess Obama believes that stealing one man’s job, top create another is just perfectly fine. 🙄
That would be like shutting down an auto plant, and putting people, who have worked at an auto plant for some 30 years, out of a job. Just so that a company could start a car plant, making electric cars. Yeah, sure, new jobs are created, but what about the people working for the auto plants, that do not make the Electric car? Why allow them to suffer?
Just more things to keep in mind, when voting, come Tuesday. Because Obama believes in spreading the wealth, except it comes to those working in the coil industry.
If I were the Unionized Coil Miners, I would raising the roof about this!
What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.
I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.
That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.
The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.
It’s just that it will bankrupt them.
Now had John McCain had said something like that, the Liberal Media would be all over it. But it’s Obama, so it’s okay.
Zogby, A Republican owned Polling system has grim news for John McCain:

McCain wins 87% of the Republican support, and Obama 84% of the Democratic support, and each candidate wins 11% of the opposing party’s support. Obama continues to lead among independent voters – his advantage now stands at 16 points, 51% to 35%.
McCain leads among men, 48% to 45%, while Obama leads among women by a larger 53% to 42% margin. Among white voters, McCain leads by a 53% to 41% margin. Among Hispanics, Obama leads, 66% to 28%, and among African Americans, Obama wins 88% to McCain’s 9%.

Wow… just wow…. I mean, who can spin that, McCain says it’s going to be a squeaker? Honestly? Is he reading the same polls as the rest of the world? I mean, Zogby! The Republican Poll company says you’re losing?!?! Unbelievable.
I do not dare use the word “landslide”. But It’s going to be a bad day on November 4.
