Gen Wesley Clark sucks up to the one they call "O"
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. 😡
Two very good postings on the future of the Repubican Party.
First at the next right:
The rebuilding and renewal of the Right will start soon. This will be very important. The Right and the Republican Party are at an inflection point, and there are many directions things can go. The destiny of the Right and the Republican Party will be determined in large part by the decisions you make in the days, weeks and months ahead.
- Some of you will say “we have learned our lesson“, and then try to pass off cosmetic changes as Reform. You are the problem.
- Some of you will say “Republicans need to fight/hold Democrats accountable“, as if it is sufficient to be against Democrats. The pendulum may eventually swing back to you, but you won’t know what to do with it.
- Some of you will say “Republicans need to carry our message to the American people“, as if the problem is that Republicans haven’t been saying “tax cuts and limited government” loudly enough. The problem is not the inability to communicate; the problem is that you have no idea how to actually deliver on those ideas.
- Others will say “Republicans need to be more principled“, as if the problem is a mere lack of personal courage and principle by Republicans. Even the best people can’t limit government if there is not an effective strategy for implementation – for getting “from here to there”. You don’t need better people. You need a better strategy.
The problem is not Republican politicians, although many Republicans politicians are a problem. The problem is not with the basic ideals of limited government and personal freedom, either. The problem is a movement that plays small-ball and cedes responsibility for infrastructure to business interests, leadership that rewards those who make friends rather than waves, an entrenched Party and Movement support system that mostly supports itself, an echo chamber that has rotted our intellect, a grassroots that is ill-equipped to shape the Republican Party, and a Republican Party that has replaced strategy with tactics, substance with marketing.
These problems can be fixed, but the fix is not cosmetic. The rot is deep. We do not need reformation of the Republican Party; we need transformation of the Republican Party. That is going to require fresh blood, new ideas, new infrastructure…and perhaps more than a little time in the wilderness.
Also at Balloon Juice:
There was nothing that really summed up the idiocy of the GOP quite like Rick Davis and company passing out tire pressure gauges in an attempt to mock a common sense approach to dealing with one of many aspects of the energy crisis. I am sure it will surprise no one that the brain trust at Red State was issuing action alerts for this, too.
In short, America got seduced by the Republican sweet talk, we took them home into our bedroom for some good times, and instead of performance, it turns out the Republicans have a serious case of electile dysfunction. Rather than hold true to their “principles,” they chose to sit on the edge of the bed for eight years and tell us how good it was going to be, and we lost interest and fell asleep.
The only thing I have add to this is that the Republican Party was more interested in mocking Democrats than they were in offering alternative solutions. There are real problems is this world of ours and burying one’s head in the sand and living in a alternative universe is not going to help at all. The problem was, nobody told the McCain campaign this or the Republican Party this. Because of this, we now have a Liberal President.
While Principles and ideology are great. In the real world, pragmatism goes a long way. The Republican Party needs to learn that, badly.

Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama
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.
It is truly a new day in America.
The Scene at McCain’s Camp
This is pretty sad.
Via The Weekly Standard:
Phoenix, Arizona — A somber mood here at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, where Republicans, dressed in their best Indian summer cocktail attire, are gathering to hear John McCain concede to Barack Obama. Jim Woolsey was seated below a mounted television in a crowded bar when Fox News projected Obama as the winner of Ohio. The crowd let out an audible gasp and lots of head-shaking ensued.
Fifteen minutes later, after many of those seated on an outside patio had ordered another round of drinks (if you are drinking beer, you are drinking a Budweiser product) an effusive young McCain supporter was watching an outdoor television with strange attentiveness. Someone asked him what he was doing. “I’m waiting for them to reverse Ohio,” he said with misplaced optimism.
McCain advisers I’ve talked to have been matter-of-fact about the situation. They’re plainly disappointed, but they’re sad about it in much the way that one might expect at the loss of a loved one after a long illness. It was certainly expected.
Current Electoral count:
Obama 207 – McCain 135
Sad, But I cannot say it is not deserved.

New Black Panther Party intimidating voters in Pennsylvania

Story on Fox News:
Via Fox News:
Intimidation tactics, missing ballots and faulty machinery are plaguing voters descending on polling stations to choose between Barack Obama and John McCain.
In Philadelphia, FOX News’ Rick Leventhal received a report from Republican poll watcher Chris Hill that two Black Panthers had stationed themselves at the door to a polling station and were intimidating voters. One held a night stick, Hill said.
Hill told FOX News that he went to talk to the men and they told him white power didn’t rule there.
The man reportedly carrying a night stick was escorted away from the polling station by police, and FOX News found another Black Panther outside the station who said he was a certified observer. Police asked him and the FOX News crew to leave the polling station.
I feared stuff like this happening during this election. The last thing we need right now is reactionaries doing crazy stuff like this. I fear what might happen, if Obama should lose.
Something tells me that this is going to be a very long day and quite the long night.
