Do you remember how, in the 2008 elections, G.W.’s win was accredited to the great number of Christians who came out and voted for him?
This election is going to be the same. However, not only is it the Christians that have to come out on election day, it has to be all the others leaning toward McCain coming out to vote. Forget this “Dewey” has won atmosphere that Obama has going for him. We all know from our history books that “Dewey” didn’t win. We need to all vote, no matter how defeatist the media makes it seem.
Barack Obama and ACORN has made this a must. There are too many fraudulent votes that are going to be counted in favor of Obama. If the real voters do not come out, then we are handing the Presidency to Obama.
All Acorn registrations should be thrown out. And here’s another good reason to get you fired up for McCain:
Barack Obama promises to help all community organizations at this 2007 rally. One keynote speaker at this rally was the Director of ACORN in Chicago. Make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show. Thanks, again Angie, for sharing this on your website: www.whatsoever.wordpress.com
“Yesterday afternoon Mrs. McCain attended the 2008 Hospitality House Luncheon in Nashville, Tennessee. Hospitality House is a private organization that provides lodging, meals and other supportive services to patients and caregivers seeking medical treatment in Nashville. During the lunch Steve Jackson, a former guest of Hospitality House, spoke about the crucial role Hospitality House played in his recovery, followed by remarks by Mrs. McCain. Following the luncheon Mrs. McCain visited Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital where she had the opportunity to interact with patients and helped assemble care packages for children undergoing treatment there.”
“Cindy recently visited the Amigos for Kids After School Program at Jose Marti Park in Miami, Florida. Amigos for Kids provides after school assistance for predominately Hispanic children in the metro Miami-Dade County community. Cindy also spoke with Jorge Plasencia, founder, and Roas Maria Plasencia, executive director, who created the program to ensure that children would have a safe environment to go to after school and assistance to perform well in school.
During her visit she explored the facility, touring the homework, computer, music and art rooms while engaging with children participating in the after school program. One student, who has participated in the program for six years, said she aspires to become a lawyer one day. Cindy took home a souvenir from her visit - the art class painted a sign welcoming her. She promised to take it home and hang it in her office.”
“On December 4, 2006, Governor Sarah Palin made history as the first woman to become her state’s chief executive. As the 11th governor of Alaska, she has successfully fought the special interests, the lobbyists, the Big Oil companies and the good ol’ boys network to reform a system that had bred corruption in her state.
Since taking office, her top priorities have been energy development, ethics reform, education and workforce development, public health and safety, and transportation and infrastructure development. She has brought Republicans, Democrats and Independents together to work to change the status quo in Alaska.
Under her leadership, the state invested $5 billion in savings, overhauled education funding, and implemented the Senior Benefits Program to provide support for low-income older Alaskans. She created Alaska’s Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to oversee and maintain oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure, and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska.
During her first legislative session, Governor Palin’s administration passed major pieces of legislation. She came to office promising landmark ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing, and today, that ethics reform is the law.
Governor Palin took on the oil companies and began a competitive process to construct a gas pipeline. Because of her leadership, work has begun on a $40 billion natural gas pipeline – the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history – to help lead our country to energy independence.
When oil and gas prices went up dramatically and the state revenues rose, Governor Palin sent a large share of that revenue directly back to the people of Alaska. She also suspended the state’s fuel tax.
In office, Governor Palin championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending. She has used her veto pen to eliminate nearly a half a billion dollars in wasteful spending. She told the Congress “thanks, but no thanks,” for the “Bridge to Nowhere.” Upon taking office, Governor Palin took common-sense steps to trim the size and cost of her office. She sold the state’s luxury jet, eliminated the personal chef and got rid of the personal driver.
As Governor, Palin is chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multi-state government agency that promotes the conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment. She also serves as chair of the National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee, which is charged with pursuing legislation to ensure state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy, environmental protection and natural resource management.
Prior to her election as governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the Mayor of Wasilla. During her tenure, she reduced property tax levels while increasing services and made Wasilla a business friendly environment, drawing in new industry. She stopped wasteful spending and put the people first.” - www.johnmccain.com
Barack Obama supporters will tell you that he was only 8 years old at the time. However, he was in his thirties and forties while he had dealing with William Ayres. He was at a lot of functions where Ayres was well known with people who thought Ayres was a big deal. You don’t think that these people talked about William Ayres and his political views at these gatherings? I’m not stupid enough to think they didn’t talk about it, but Barack Obama would like us to think we are.
“John McCain has a remarkable record of leadership and experience that embodies his unwavering lifetime commitment to service. First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982, John has led the fight for reforming Washington, eliminating wasteful government spending, and strengthening our nation’s armed forces.
As the son and grandson of distinguished Navy admirals, John McCain deeply values duty, honor and service of country. John attended college at the United States Naval Academy, and launched a 22-year career as a naval aviator upon his graduation. He continued the McCain tradition of service to country passed down to him from his father and grandfather when he asked to serve in the Vietnam War.On July 29 1967, John narrowly survived the first of many near-death experiences during his lifetime while preparing to take off on a bombing mission over North Vietnam from his ship, the USS Forrestal. A missile accidentally fired from a nearby plane struck the fuel tanks on John’s plane and created a deadly inferno aboard the ship. John barely escaped the fiery disaster that killed 134 men, injured hundreds more and destroyed 20 planes.
Instead of taking the option to return home after the Forrestal disaster, Senator McCain volunteered for more combat duty - a fateful decision that stopped the clock on his life and separated him from his family, and country, for five and a half years.
During his 23rd bombing mission on October 26, 1967, a missile struck John’s plane and forced him to eject, knocking him unconscious and breaking both his arms and his leg. John was then taken as a prisoner of war into the now infamous “Hanoi Hilton,” where he was denied necessary medical treatment and often beaten by the North Vietnamese. John spent much of his time as a prisoner of war in solitary confinement, aided by his faith and the friendships of his fellow POWs. When he was finally released and able to return home years later, John continued his service by regaining his naval flight status.
Senator McCain’s last Navy duty assignment was to serve as the naval liaison to the United States Senate. John retired from the Navy in 1981. His naval honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Senator McCain has seven children and four grandchildren, and currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Cindy. ” - www.JohnMcCain.com
My mother always told me not to hang out with the loose girls. “Boys will think you are like that.” She also went on to tell me not to smoke, do drugs, drink alcohol, etc… All of the things we mom’s end up telling our kids, (which we only think is wise once we have them, kids that is). But, regardless as to whether we believed her as a young adult or not, the fact remains that with her maturity, and experience, mom’s usually know what they are talking about.
Barack Obama, should have listened to his mom, but then again, it is reported by himself,
“When I think about my mother,” Obama told me recently, “I think that there was a certain combination of being very grounded in who she was, what she believed in. But also a certain recklessness. I think she was always searching for something. She wasn’t comfortable seeing her life confined to a certain box.” -Amanda Ripley http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1729524,00.html
The author further went on to reveal how reckless she was in her decision making. I believe her son picked up on some of that in his own decision making capabilities.
Let’s look at who supports him and who he has aligned himself with. Doesn’t necessarily mean he pals around with them, but it does lend an insight into who he may or does obtain critical decision making support from.
Michael Klonsky, a former 60’s anti-war activist and founder of the Maoist Communist Party in the 60’s and 70’s boycotted voting in Presidential elections. However recently he was quoted at http://www.city-journal.org/2008/eon0629df.html with the following:
“Klonsky, whose disgust for mainstream politics led him to launch a new, Maoist Communist Party in the 1970s, today supports Barack Obama so enthusiastically that until recently he was blogging on the Illinois senator’s campaign website. And boycotting this November’s election, Klonsky maintains, would be a “tragic mistake.” He notes that Barack Obama isn’t Hubert Humphrey, 2008 isn’t 1968, and the strong movement he served back then is “relatively weak” now. “My own support for Obama is not a reflection of a radically changed attitude toward the Democratic Party,” Klonsky recently explained to me. “Rather, it’s a recognition that the Obama campaign has become a rallying point for young activists and offers hope for rebuilding the civil rights and antiwar coalitions that have potential to become a real critical force in society.”
Mark Rudd, quoted from the same blogsite above stated:
“Mark Rudd organized the student strike that shut down Columbia University, the SDS chapter that he chaired ridiculed Kennedy and McCarthy as “McKennedy,” claimed that “neither peace candidate offers an alternative to the war policies of Lyndon Johnson,” and suggested “sabotage” as an alternative to voting. Rudd succeeded Klonsky as national SDS leader, presiding over the organization’s metamorphosis into Weatherman and performing “a liaison function” for the plot to bomb a Fort Dix soldiers’ dance that instead killed three Weathermen, including two of Rudd’s Columbia SDS colleagues. Today, Rudd renounces bombs, embraces ballots—and supports Obama. “Probably the biggest difference between Columbia SDS people in 1968 and in 2008 is forty years,” Rudd explained in an e-mail. “Most of us have lived with compromise our whole lives. As kids we were raving idealists who thought that ‘The elections don’t mean shit’ was a slogan that meant something to somebody. It didn’t.”
And again from the same blogsite, we have Carl Davidson, in the Obama camp itself:
“Carl Davidson, who was one of SDS’s three elected national officers in 1968, when the organization first urged young people to refrain from voting. His disillusionment with traditional politics became so pronounced that, in the post-sixties hangover that followed, Davidson joined Klonsky in rejecting traditional politics for fringe Marxist movements. More recently, he helped organize the 2002 rally in which Obama first spoke out against the Iraq War and now serves as the webmaster of Progressives for Obama. “The last thing we need is a simple repeat of 1968, which saw Nixon and the new Right as an outcome, as well as the defeat of [Humphrey],” Davidson contends.” This same article highlights others, as examples it gives, “Progressives for Obama resembles a Who’s Who of SDS luminaries. In addition to Hayden, Rudd, and Davidson, the group includes Bob Pardun, SDS’s education secretary during the 1966–67 school year; Paul Buhle, a radical professor who has recently attempted to revive SDS; Mickey and Dick Flacks, red-diaper babies who helped craft 1962’s Port Huron Statement, a seminal New Left document; and SDS’s third president, Todd Gitlin. Age and experience have mellowed some of the SDSers in Obama’s camp. Gitlin, for instance, has evolved into a respected Ivy League professor and milquetoast liberal. But others still glory in a past that can only damage Obama’s future. The aging New Left still practices a therapeutic politics that places a higher value on feelings of personal liberation than on restrained pursuit of political aims.”
And let’s not forget abou William Ayres and his partner Bernadine Dorhne. We all know what their contributions to America were. Here is an excerpt from the cited blogsite above:
“In the sixties, Ayers advocated that young people kill their parents, and Dohrn praised the Charles Manson murders. Alongside their Weather Underground cohorts, the pair declared war on the United States and participated in a bombing campaign that hit the Capitol, the Pentagon, and numerous law enforcement agencies. The couple eventually reinvented themselves—first as academics, then as players in Chicago-area Democratic politics. Obama praised Ayers’s book in the Chicago Tribune, sat with him on a foundation’s board, and benefited from a fundraiser held at the couple’s home. Ayers spoke at events organized by Michelle Obama; Barack Obama spoke at events organized by Ayers.”
Yes, all of these things happened when Obama was eight years old, but that leaves no excuse for his acquaintences with them them in his thirties and forties. Obama needs to remember how old he is now.
Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor at Trinity had this to offer:
“Obama’s dealings with his hinky friend have never led him afoul of the law, but they show that, despite his high-minded politics, he was no purer — or no savvier — than Illinois’ biggest hacks in his weakness for a generous contributor. He wouldn’t even say no when Rezko cooked up a deal to help the newly elected senator buy a gracious Georgian-revival home. Rezko, after all, built part of his fortune by exploiting the black community that Obama had served in the state Senate, and by milking government programs meant to benefit black-owned businesses. But Obama took Rezko’s money even after the businessman was sued by the city of Chicago for failing to heat his low-income apartments, and even after Rezko was caught using a black business partner to obtain a minority set-aside for a fast-food franchise at O’Hare Airport.
Now Rezko is wearing an orange jumpsuit.”
And finally, my favorite radical that he hangs out with, his wife, Michelle Obama:
Wow. This “young” man has told me several times that he is not condescending. That he is attending “Columbia University” (which if you go to their website and type his name into their student database, he doesn’t exist) and getting his “masters degree” there. He deems it appropriate to disagree with me on my own website, but when I counter him and disagree with him, he becomes holier-than-thou and begins a condescending rhetoric that is “personal”. But then, that is what most Kool-Aid drinking democrat youths do, if he is really even a youth. He is so pumped up and full of himself that he belittles those individuals, such as myself, who didn’t have the opportunity to pursue a college education right out of high school. He is the epitomy of an elitist. I am not at all surprised that he is an Obama follower. He even has the audacity to ridicule those of us who are Bible believing Christians that what we believe in is a dying philosophy. That sort of reminds me of when Obama stated that “America is no longer a Christian nation.” So I suppose who you hang around is does influence how you believe. Maybe the FBI should be investigating Obama along with Tony Rezko.
This young commentors “progressive parents” must be very proud that he attends the #15 ranked (not 10 as he misrepresented [like most democrats] in his comment to me) University in the world. Well, he has me there, I only attend the 52nd ranked University in the world. I guess I will muddle through somehow. http://www.webometrics.info/top100_continent.asp?cont=usa_canada
I suppose William Ayres would have been considered “progressive” in his college days and Weathermen days, also. So, I still don’t believe that “progressive” is always a good thing. All I know is that his “progressive parents” didn’t discipline him enough when he was growing up. At least my grown children aren’t rude. So, yeah, I am a little offended by this little tripe that keeps sounding off on my blog site. I don’t mind conversation, but I detest having to clean up crap.
Enjoy his commentary below, afterall according to him, “I am obviously in a higher achieving and higher regarded university than you are or ever will be. You’re obviously uninformed, unintelligent, and lacking intellectual depth.“ So, I am certain you will enjoy his comments below much more than anything I would ever have to say. Decide for yourselves. Here’s my original post that he comments on: http://exemployee.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/why-barack-obama-is-not-an-american-black-american/
“Wow, you are less intelligent that I even imagined!
Columbia is ranked in the top 1% of universities both nationally and internationally. Its approximate standing is number 11 in the USA and number 10 in the world. Look it up. Maybe ignorant conservatives such as you call these standings “going down,” but in the academic world, that’s not the case. Moreover, these rankings are based on the achievements of its graduates and their ultimate impact on the arts, sciences, public policy, and the world. We have produced Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winners. Laureates in all of the arts, diplomats, senators, and the list go on.
What has your little underfunded evening program produced? I think the answer would be middle-aged losers such as you who could not even earn a degree until they are hitting 50. Wow, that is really successful. What will you do with your degree? Frame it and be in awe of yourself? Degrees are earned to fuel action not to serve as justification for the revisionism of history and obliteration of truth. And by the way, my mother earned her Master’s and Ph.D. while raising three children. She had it by age 39. And we were middle-classed. She, my father, my siblings, and I have all paid for college through scholarships and loans. So, you could have done it too. You just lacked the aptitude and motivation.
None of this matters anyway. I am obviously in a higher achieving and higher regarded university than you are or ever will be. You’re obviously uninformed, unintelligent, and lacking intellectual depth. But that’s not the point. One does not have to have any of those qualities to be fair and ethical. The point is that you are a closed-minded, revisionist, righteous racist. And I would rather be an elitist than a racist. At least the so-called elitists at Columbia actually bring about positive change in the world. What do the conservative racists such as you bring to the world? Discrimination, exploitation, and oppression of minorities? Rallies with right-winged psychos incited by Palin who shout & scream “kill him” and “off with his head.” Depraved, imbalanced lunatics that feel Obama is an Arab terrorist that should be killed? That’s what you and your kind bring. And that makes you proud, doesn’t it? Those are your folks, aren’t they? Well, they make me embarrassed of my race. And if you had any integrity or conscience, it would do the same to you. But you obviously don’t. I am thankful for my progressive parents. And by the way, progressive is always good. Always.
My dear old woman, you are part of a dying generation. Racism, moralism, xenophobia, conservatism - - - these are concepts that are dead with us, the youth. Largely, we embrace diversity. You can try your hardest as you obviously do to revise history and distort truth but the bottom line is that you are nothing more than an angry racist. That’s the only reason you could support a feeble-minded, war-mongering, dying old man and his empty-headed, middle-aged pin-up, intellectually incurious dimwit of a running mate. It’s as simple as that.
Luckily, we the youth have many decades before us while you, the racist relics are seeing the end of days. The evolution is upon us. So, enjoy your bible, guns, and lipstick. These will end up remnants of your losing philosophy.
I can’t use anything here on your site for my thesis. While there are a few enlightened individuals, mostly, the posts lack accuracy and substance and essentially represent irrational and racist rantings. People like you seem to flock to one another. Nothing of scholarly quality, though.
I know it’s important to you to have the last word so please do post-on with another one of your distorted ramblings. My focus group finds them entertaining. But I myself will be moving on and will not have the pleasure.
Good luck, old woman!
Peace out.“-Greg Swanson, Columbia University 2008
In a small area of the country lived a radical white boy.He gathered around him other people with radical views like himself.They began to make pipe bombs and throw them into the homes of black families.Then, they began to target all of the black political leaders, throwing gas bombs into their homes and cars.They even blew up political entities that mainly employed black people.They burned crosses in the yards were black families lived.They even murdered black individuals in the name of righteous justice.They called themselves the KKK.
The black community was in an uproar, demanding that something be done.They demanded that their political leaders, both white and black do something to stop the terrorism they were living with. They demanded that those in leadership positions not associate with these individuals performing such terrorist acts; or they would not be in leadership positions for long.Today, if anyone associates with or is a friend of anyone from the KKK they are not considered to be worthy of any governmental job.
And again, several years later, another radical white boy gathered around him people with similar radical views like himself.They began to make pipe bombs and throw them into the homes of police officers, killing one.They also made bombs and blew up a New York police station.And yet again, made bombs and blew up the Pentagon.They were called The Students For A Democratic Society and The Weathermen.Today this same radical white boy is a Professor at the University of Illinois.He stated the day after 9/11 that he wished they had been able to do more when he was in the Weathermen.He is not sorry for any of it and would do it again.
Barack Obama went to this radical white boy’s home, where the radical white boy kicked off Obama’s political career.Barack Obama and this radical white boy sat on the same community committee’s in Chicago, working closely to funnel thousands of dollars into the ghetto areas of Chicago.Barack Obama lives just down the street from him.
Where is the uproar over this political figure, Barack Obama, associating with this terrorist?How can he be President of the United States when he associates with terrorists?How can he even come close to passing a security clearance?How can he even think of living in our White House?
