Please, not again…

The infamous Hillary Clinton “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy” is apparently back.

Stepping back into the campaign spotlight, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) came to Minnesota tonight to urge the election of comedian-commentator-candidate Al Franken to the Senate.

“Al Franken was taking on the vast right-wing conspiracy before other people even admitted it existed,” she told a crowd of 2,000 supporters on the University of Minnesota campus, urging them to give her rival, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, a filibuster-proof margin in the Senate. “Al Franken, with your help, can be our 60th vote.”

Perhaps the re-emergence of Hillary’s imaginary Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is simply designed to distract from the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy that’s threatening the very fabric of our Republic? Just a thought…

Obama and Odinga?

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Check out this video pointing out links between Barack Hussein Obama and Raila Odinga. For those that don’t follow Kenyan politics, Odinga is a radical socialist that has apparently usurped the legitimately-elected president and instigated vicious ethnic cleansing in Kenya.

After you view this, just ask yourself again if you’re sure that Obama is the man that you want in the Oval Office.

One way to give the election to the messiah…

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Looks like the election shenanigans have started again, this time in Ohio, where a Democratic poll worker is accused of of pre-marking a ballot for Obama and attacking a Republican poll worker that challenged her on the issue.

Poll workers from opposing sides in the presidential race apparently clashed in a physical altercation Friday at a Cuyahoga Falls nursing home when one accused the other of improperly marking a ballot.

George Manos, the 75-year-old Republican, told police that Edith Walker, the 73-year-old Democrat, jumped on his back and struck him in the head three to four times with her fists. Manos said two other elections workers had to pull Walker off his back, according to a report filed with Cuyahoga Falls police.

Manos said it happened after he accused Walker of ballot tampering, and he wants to prosecute.

I’m sure the facts will eventually come out now that this incident is under investigation. Rest assured that if the facts point to the Democratic worker pre-marking the ballot for Obama, the story will be buried by the mainstream media. If, on the other hand, the facts point to the Democratic worker having done nothing wrong, then it will be a page one story for the mainstream media.

Now ask yourself this — if the Obamites believe that they’re entitled to tell you how to vote, can you imagine what else they think that they’re entitled to tell you to do? Are you really sure that this kind of Marxism is what you really want in the Oval Office?

One Explanation for Obama’s Record Campaign Donations?

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Fox News is reporting that a Missouri couple and McCain supporters, Steve and Rachel Larman, noticed a mysterious $2,300 dollar charge on their credit card — to the Barack Hussein Obama campaign.

A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam.

Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month — a $2300 donation to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The Larman’s say they don’t want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they’re not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook.

They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud.

“(They) said that they had seen-they were familiar with this,” said Steve Larman. “It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were going to be doing some more investigations.”

This isn’t the first time that Obama’s “contributions” have been questioned. I don’t normally wear a tinfoil hat, but I’m seriously beginning to wonder who or what is behind this conspiracy to force Barack Hussein Obama on the American electorate? Hillary’s hallucinated Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has nothing on this apparently-real vast communist conspiracy.

And one more parting thought — if dodgy finances are part of the Obama campaign, do you really want this guy anywhere NEAR the Treasury Department and/or taxpayer dollars?

Markets Fear Socialism

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Investor’s Business Daily argues that the main reason that the markets are headed in a downward direction is investors’ fear of a socialist administration taking over.

The Crash: “Why has the market dropped so much?” everyone asks. What is it about the specter of our first socialist president and the end of capitalism as we know it that they don’t understand?

The freeze-up of the financial system — and government’s seeming inability to thaw it out — are a main concern, no doubt. But more people are also starting to look across the valley, as they say, at what’s in store once this crisis passes.

And right now it looks like the U.S., which built the mightiest, most prosperous economy the world has ever known, is about to turn its back on the free-enterprise system that made it all possible.

It isn’t only that the most anti-capitalist politician ever nominated by a major party is favored to take the White House. It’s that he’ll also have a filibuster-proof Congress led by politicians who are almost as liberal.

Throw in a media establishment dedicated to the implementation of a liberal agenda, and the smothering of dissent wherever it arises, and it’s no wonder panic has set in.

What is that agenda? It starts with a tax system right out of Marx: A massive redistribution of income — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need — all in the name of “neighborliness,” “patriotism,” “fairness” and “justice.”

I couldn’t agree more.

Perhaps the socialists and their supporters haven’t considered this, but I’m curious as to what happens when the entities from which the wealth is being taken finally get disgusted enough to stop paying? They could move offshore, walk away, stop producing or any other number of likely scenarios. Many possibilities, but one result — nothing left to confiscate. What will happen then?

Peoples’ Mother of All Bailouts

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Congress passed and President Bush signed today, the Peoples’ Mother of All Bailouts, committing 700 BILLION dollars. This rescue package is designed to ensure that

  • Greedy and idiotic buyers with poor credit that took excessive loans with the agreement to pay back the money will no longer have to honor their part of the contract.
  • Greedy and idiotic bankers that happily made loans to the aforementioned buyers for 125% of the collateral value will no longer have to suffer the consequences of their own actions by selling their BMW collection to purchase their beluga caviar in bulk.
  • Greedy, idiotic and socialistic congressional Democrats and Republicans that attempted to ensure equality of outcome by forcing bankers, though legislation, to loan money to people that had demonstrated that they were incapapble of paying it back believe that they will no longer have to be answerable to the taxpayers.

President Bush applauded the destruction of free market principles and the introduction of a socialist economy with a Rose Garden speech, saying

There were moments this week when some thought that the federal government could not rise to the challenge.

This statement, of course, is an outright lie — this Congress and this President have never ONCE failed to “rise to the challenge” of wastefully spending taxpayer money, and insinuating anything different is not only insulting, it’s a lie.

I’m curious, exactly, as to how many taxpayers would have to refuse to pay their taxes in protest (can you say indefinite extension filing?) before our glorious peoples’ government would be UNABLE to fund this bill?

To the elected representatives, I say this — enjoy your time in office, because this is, most assuredly, you LAST term in office.

Be careful what you wish for…

To all of you seeking “change” — be careful what you wish for as you may receive it.

Cult of Obama

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

If you’ve talked to an Obama supporter, you might have noticed their eyes glaze over and a look of rapture come upon their face when talking about their preferred presidential candidate. Never mind that they can’t tell you details of any of his plans for “change” nor can most even enumerate Obama’s positions in the first place.

Given the above, a reasonable person might be inclined to view Obama’s presidential campaign as a “cult” and now that this video has surfaced, it’s essentially a given that Obama’s presidential campaign could realistically be renamed “The Church of Obama.”

After suffering through this blatant propaganda, I was left thinking it was some sort of religous ceremony, and I’m concerned for the poor brainwashed children in this video. How this man has single-handedly created an entire generation of brainwashed socialists is amazing.

So I guess the euro-socialists are “greedy” too?

Monday, September 29th, 2008

I suppose that the evil anti-socialist “greed” that Europe recently ridiculed the US for engaging has now come home to roost on the other side of the pond.

First a recap, if you will permit me. The LA Times ran an article detaling how Europeans were ridiculing the US for our current financial turmoil. The article was chock full of typical euro-sneering goodness…

But fear accompanied gloating. The crisis threatens to worsen woes — inflation, unemployment, weak growth — of regional powerhouses including Britain, Spain and Italy. Joaquin Almunia, an ideologically moderate Spanish Socialist who is the European Union’s economic commissioner, offered a simple analysis.

“It has been a problem of greed,” he told El Pais newspaper. “In Europe it can’t be said that we did nothing, European banks bought toxic products. . . . Nobody knows when this will end.”

But now it would appear that the evil, capitalistic greed had also taken root “across the pond’ as well, since foreign markets have taken a huge nosedive as well.

As nine central banks used currency swaps to oil the wheels of dollar liquidity in the money markets, sterling plunged and was on course for its steepest one-day drop against the dollar for at least a decade and a half.

This was in response to the nationalisation of Bradford & Bingley (B&B), the stricken UK mortgage bank, which fuelled markets’ fears over Britain’s battered banking sector and the fallout for its economic prospects.

So it would appear that the Europeans also suffer that same, evil disease called capitalism for which the US was roundly criticized.

“People who live in glass houses…” as the saying goes…

Why does he think his opinion matters?

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva chimed in with his opinion of the “bailout” plan currently being considered in Congress.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva blamed the United States for the global financial crisis and said its financial bailout plan was unfair to poor people.

Please let me point out that “the poor” benefitted from the government meddling that led up to this crisis, and the poor continue to benefit by being able to walk away from debt that they owe while their creditors are being bailed out by taxpayer money. I would also point out that most of those taxpayers are also paying THEIR debt without walking away from it.

Furthermore, I would suggest to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that he shut the hell up and mind his own business — nobody really cares what he thinks. He’s entitled to an opinion if and only if he’s willing to pony up the tax dollars that are going to bail out the idiot lenders, meddling bureaucrats, and stupid consumers that got us into this mess.
