Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Pathetic Lives Are

2008-11-06T17:26:00.003-05:00

This is too funny. The sad thing is that there is a little underlying truth to it. What are frothy mouthed liberals going to obsess about for the next couple of years?

Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

Obama: "It's the answer spoken by the not disabled".

2008-11-05T16:03:00.003-05:00

In Obama's victory speech, he said this, "It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled".
Who are the "not disabled"?
This is the most PC speech ever. I'm all for the rights of the "not disabled".
Long live the not disabled!

Obama says, "Wright is my pastor", "he is a wonderful man".

2008-11-04T15:15:00.005-05:00

From the mouth of the messiah himself.
"He (Wright) is a wonderful man".
More judgement issues?
Notice when he says that 'Jeremiah Wright is the best of what the black church has to offer'.
Wow...I guess my journalism skills are better than CNN and MSNBC.

Some folks believe that Obama is going to pay for gas and mortgages.

2008-11-04T11:31:00.007-05:00

Our nation is helpless and stupid. If people really believe this, there's no hope, but plenty will change. Many are voting for Obama because he is black. He really isn't black. He's white.

Urban America...you are the foolish, you have believed the lies and now we are all going to pay.

Obama smokes cigs

2008-10-08T13:10:00.003-04:00

Is this the guy that you want for President? A nasty smoker. He can't quit smoking. Where is his will power?

Is this the example that we are teaching our kids songs about?

Where is this in the news?

Yeah right. Just like the news media won't report on ACORN and Obama

Thoughts on Presidential "Town Hall" debate Tuesday night.

2008-10-08T11:20:00.006-04:00

Watching Obama "care" so much about middle class was one of the first laughs I had. Do you thing he even knows anyone who is middle class?
Watching McCain walk around like a cold robot was unfortunate. It stinks that he seems so rigid and humorous from wounds received from war.
Here are some thoughts:
1. Obama commented to every question asked that the issue in questions was either the most important issue to him or central to his administration. By doing this, he is reaching out to those who vote on single issues. If every issue is the most important one, he wins those folks over. However, there are those of us who see through the tactics and charade....they can't all be the most important one.
2. Obama consistently broke the rules of the forum. Taking up extra time and following up on questions. McCain had to be a little defensive about it because Obama was getting a lot more time to talk. If Obama will break the rules of a debate forum, many times, how does he feel about other rules? How does he treat the law? Do those rules apply to everyone or just everyone but him.
3. McCain isn't the warmest person around. It's a shame that so many clueless, non grounded people in our society will vote, not because of qualifications, character, record or issues, but will cast there vote according to appearance, style or any number of superficial, non important factors. Obama is pretty, he talks pretty and he could talk you into buying a used car and with many, that is all that they see.
4. The major news networks always field these panels of supposed "undecided voters". It is apparent that these folks aren't undecided. They all pull for Obama. They were for Kerry and Gore and the networks aren't fooling anyone. They are trying to condition viewers to a way of thinking that is in line with the panelists. They carefully choose questions that make Obama look good and ask the panelists, who then side with Obama and give the TV audience reason to feel included by stroking emotions.
5. Right after the debate, every major network, liberal talking heads were trying to race bait, turn something into nothing with the McCain comment, calling Obama "that one" when talking about voting in congress. CBS immediately went to a black man and asked how it made him feel. They are trying to create something out of nothing. They are trying to, cleverly, divide fence riders from looking at McCain by suggesting that he is a racists. They will probably be successful as they have a lot of power and no spine. They continue to campaign, relentlessly and openly for Obama without any check. The great majority of network newsmakers are liberals, they hate GW Bush. They hate babies having a right to life, and they hate everyday people having a say as to there decisions and want us all to think the same way they do.
6. Following the debate, the liberal news networks took the usual voter polls that proclaim Obama as the winner. Where are they polling? the ACLU or somewhere similar. Analyzing there polls, I can only conclude that I disagree from most of America. Is this true? They cook the books and manipulate the news for Obama. This can't be questioned. They do it. Again, and again and again.
Why is Fox the only network reporting the voter fraud problems with ACORN? Could that make Obama look bad. I can tell you, if McCain was a supporter of that organization, it would be all over the news.
7. Obama made references to the middle class time after time. He doesn't care about the middle class, he is part of the left elite. His campaign is supported, openly by the richest people in the world. Obama will raise taxes. Across the board. He will force out small businesses by taxing them more. He will take away all of the Bush tax cuts.
In a word, LIES.
The left lies. They have the news networks behind them, fully. They have the abortionists, the terrorists, the golden parachute recipients, the porn industry, the homosexual vote and every other group who is opposed to responsibility, morality and any common sense.
We are still feeling the after affects of Clinton. We don't want to make that mistake again. Obama reminds me of Carter. Let's hope that I'm wrong.

Obama's friends and advisors caused the economic crisis of today. Check the facts.

CNN's main story today about Tainted Baby Formula in China and the lies and cover up of real news

2008-09-17T13:48:00.005-04:00

I really care about babies. They are precious and should be the hope and promise of the world. They are, truly, gifts from God.
However, CNN's main story today is about tainted baby formula being manufactured in China and the 3 babies who have died from it.
First of all, the US Embassy in Yemen was bombed today. They have a story on that, in the sidebar so you can't even see it.
Secondly, thousands of born babies are murdered in China everyday for being the wrong sex.
Christian pastors are beaten, jailed and killed for preaching the Word of God there.
China is the world's largest polluter, over fisher's, copyright infringers and opposition to freedom and free people.
China has the worst record of any major state on human rights and justice.
Third, thousand of babies are killed in the US everyday for convenience.
My question is this,
When did CNN start giving a rat's ass about what happens to babies and families?
Or is this just an attempt to divert focus from the threat of terrorism and how we (the US) are successfully handling it? and a cover up of the fact that they have an agenda and that agenda is that "it is illegal to be a Christian and that Obama being elected is a good step in that direction"?
Comment please!

CNN Takes Sudden Turn In Soldier & Veteran Coverage

2008-09-10T01:25:00.004-04:00

Has anyone noticed that CNN is posting an increasing number of soldier and veteran mistreatment stories these days. Today there were several and this was one of them:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/09/09/army.suicides/index.html
The story, which was the main column article tonight, speaks of projected army suicide rates and the projection that they may rise above last year. Does this story really cover anything that is tangible and factual? Is it not mere spectulation? Are they trying to remind us of something? The article also states that suicides in the military are statistically less than that of the regular population. What is the point there? Other than bringing up a sore topic that depresses people and reminds them of sadness? Where is the "Hope and Change"?
The story has unique timing. Why talk about this now?
There were also a couple of other military woes stories, one about a WWI vet. Is there something else at play here? Who is the hot audience for this type of story? Voters? Maybe? Hey, Hey now! Come on. Whoah! He didn't?
The other news networks have these stories:
"Two Top Al Qaeda Operatives Killed in U.S. Missile Strike, Intelligence Officials Say"
and
"Time crunch: Campaigns pick up their pace"
CNN is the only network with this "headline".
I hope that they do care as much as they appear to. However, I don't think that they do.

2008-09-07T13:25:00.002-04:00

I find it amazing that videos like this one say nothing at all, yet inspire a mass audience that doesn't even know or care about the details.
What is the substance of this? What is this video about? For all I know, it could be for Erectile dysfunction disorder.
Wow...to say so much, and so little at the same time.

Obama's media favoritism

2008-07-21T11:03:00.005-04:00

I'm not the biggest John McCain fan. However, considering the alternative, "hope and change" empty, LCD bandwagon, I need to start pulling for him.
So, I've started looking into what McCain is all about.
In my search, I have found that the media shows blatant and passionate love for Barak Obama.
I can go to any news network at anytime and find a large amount of Obama coverage. However, if I look for coverage of McCain, it is few and far between.
McCain has been on three international trips in the past nine weeks. How many can you find the media talking about? Zero!
This is media bias and is similar to the government controlled media of fascist states and despot regimes. The difference between those and ours is that our propoganda machine is a private, elitist, spoiled & pampered generation of over educated, non-skilled liberals who have to create injustice and lies to combat any good that this nation produces. The very freedom that we cherish will be what ends us. An elaborate snare that pacifies the masses with television and kool-aid, that disguises itself as freedom, unchecked is disaster in a non-innocent world.
Individuals need to stand up and combat the lie spewing, mass media womanization of the country.
We have no sense of truth.
News networks...leave your pansy ass, feel good, personal excuses at home and report the news....facts.

Pride and excuses can't be changed.

2008-06-19T14:25:00.012-04:00

In light of the Obama campain of "Hope", "Change", "Prosperity" and the promise of the "Promised Land", I feel that our nation, young people especially, are being given false hopes, misled and being fed lies like a spoonful of sugar. It tastes good going down, but what is it really.
Obama's message that he will fix every problem and worry in the world and make everyone on the earth happy and prosperous sounds good. I mean, who wouldn't want it? However, it is a lie. It is snake oil.
Is he god? Is he a savior? Can he humble the proud and make the selfish, unselfish. I don't think so. I have challenged many diehard "Hope and Change" blow hards to explain to me...What change? What hope? What? Why? How?
I always get the same. McCain said this and is just like Bush. Bush lied, people died. WMD's...war for oil...and more of the same old stuff, regardless of accuracy.
Is this change going to be good. I mean, Hitler brought change and hope. So did Stalin and Castro, but was that good?
I believe that there is a huge, undiscussed, ignored and covered over racial movement in our country now.
Blacks have been told for years that they are lesser. Middle and upper class whites have suffered this race guilt (and now green guilt) to the point that it doesn't matter what Obama stands for. He is black and that is all that matters. He could come out tomorrow and say that he hated blacks and would still get the young and "progressive" and minority "down and out" vote.
Why?
I believe that people are the same wherever you go. I believe that people in the south and north are similar. People that are black and white are similar. People from India, China and Texas are similar. There are nice people, mean people, smart people, dumb people, naive people, wise people, racist people etc everywhere.
That being said...we need to move past the race crutch in the US.
We need to address what is really holding people back. Is it me? Is it our government? Is it the law? Is it you?
Change happens within ourselves. We point the finger while being blinded by our own arm. In order to change things we, as individuals, must first change. We must take the focus off ourselves and put it on our inselves. Real change happens in the heart. Not with words. We must first know that we are loved and accepted. We must first know of the grace and mercy shown to us. Without understanding and gratitude it will always be about us.
I think that it is selfishness, excuses and pride that hold everyone (us) back.
This guy explains the race part pretty well:

Green-Global Warming Hypocrites

2008-06-02T14:10:00.003-04:00

Do what I say....not what I do. It amazes me how cameras and money turn people into elitist idiots that think everyone else are lesser and below them in thought and deed.
These people (snobs) want us to change our lifestyles for "feel good" inaccurate science.
Common sense is on the decline.

Islamofacism - It's for real. Never forget.

2008-05-15T23:56:00.007-04:00

I see a lot of folks out there wanting to negotiate and "understand" Islamofacism. Moreover, some blame the United States and say that the USA provokes people to do this type of terror and horror.
Let's not loose sight of the fact that these are zealous Muslims and that this is there way of dealing with differences and opposing point of views.
I think we understand enough.
I wish that we weren't in Iraq. My heart hurts when I think of any of my young, fellow countrymen dying in that miserable, backwards place. It hurts even more when I hear the liberal media bashing them and twisting the facts while overlooking the obvious. Since 9/11/2001, no terrorist attack has taken place on any Americans outside of the "war zones" where our soldiers are fighting.
Watch this and never forget. Don't hate anyone. Just don't be a naive and selfish, by promoting your cause and saying that this was anything other than the seed of a growing world Islamofacism pandemic.

Obama and his ties to Marxism - Why we should be concerned.

2008-05-06T17:20:00.003-04:00

Obama's Marxist Axis Of Friends
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted Monday, May 05, 2008 4:20 PM PT
Election '08: Barack Obama wishes questions about his associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and other radicals would end. But maybe the reason they won't is that there's a pattern: Marxism. It's not hiding.

When one looks at Obama, it's shocking how radical and anti-American his closest associates are. Taken separately, the black liberation theology of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, or fundraiser William Ayers' unrepentant past as a 1960s terrorist or Obama's openly pro-Che Guevara volunteers in Houston might be dismissed.
But taken together, and given Obama's closeness to his friends, it's fair to ask whether Obama doesn't share their extreme-left views. Yet whenever he's asked, he gets mad and avoids the issue.
Maybe that's not surprising, given that Obama himself began his career as a Chicago community organizer and worked on projects there influenced by Saul Alinsky. The Marxist Machiavellian of the Chicago scene advised budding revolutionaries in his 1971 book "Rules For Radicals" to conceal their radical affiliations to attain greater power. That works well for Marxists.
But Obama's friends seem to be giving him away. If this sounds extreme, take a look at some of the activities of Obama's associates:
Wright is an adherent of black liberation theology, an explicitly Marxist interpretation of the Bible whose aim is to stir up class and race hatred to advance communism. Created by a rifle-toting Peruvian priest in the 1960s, it's now discredited in religious circles.
"Liberation theology isolates a few verses, takes them out of context, and then exaggerates their meaning," said the Rev. Bob Schenk of the National Clergy Council, on "Hannity's America" last weekend.
But Wright clings to it. And recently, he loudly praised the Marxist Sandinista dictatorship of Nicaragua.
Not by coincidence, Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua's president, endorses Obama. "This is not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. . . . But yes, (Obama and friends) are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change," said Ortega.
If that's not enough, Wright's also made pilgrimage to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in Havana in 1984, alongside the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Cuban-American writer Humberto Fontova noted Jackson and his entourage cheered "Viva Fidel" and "Viva Che Guevara" on the $300,000 trip paid for by the Cuban Council of Churches.
Then there's Obama's friend ex-Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, another Marxist. Not only did Ayers set off terrorist bombs against "the establishment" with no regrets during the 1960s, he told the New York Times "we didn't do enough."
Now it's come to light that he posed for a photo in Chicago magazine in 2001, stomping on a U.S. flag in an article flogging his terrorist memoir, "Fugitive Days." At the time Ayers was touting his anti-Americanism, Obama served with him on the Woods Fund board and Ayers made a $200 donation to Obama's state Senate campaign.
Ayers has since lectured the Marxist dictator of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, on using public education as an instrument for advancing "revolution." Meanwhile his stepson, Chesa Boudin, has gone to Caracas as an "adviser" to the anti-American Chavez.
Oh, by coincidence, Chavez and Castro are two of the dictators Obama said he'd like to give face time as president of the U.S.
It gets worse when one looks at Obama's political organization.
Obama's own Web site has held at least 15 favorable mentions of Che Guevara, according to a count by blogger Henry Gomez.
When an Obama precinct captain in Houston flew a Cuban flag bearing Guevara's likeness, Obama said only it "disappointed" him and "does not reflect (his) views." He never publicly ordered the flag down, nor rejected Guevara's blood-soaked communism.
Another Obama supporter, acting in Obama's name, secretly contacted Colombia's Marxist FARC terror chief Raul Reyes to tell him that Obama would cut off U.S. military aid to Colombia to hinder its war against FARC, as well as deny Colombia free trade, a strategy FARC considers key to overturning Colombia's democracy.
If Obama repudiated that secret messenger, we didn't hear it.
Some pundits dismiss Obama's ties with radicals as an opportunistic association with Chicago political machines to advance his career. But the depth and breadth of the contacts seem deeper.
Obama himself has promised to meet with the hemisphere's Marxist dictators who have systematically dismantled or are in the process of dismantling democracy all across our hemisphere.
This stinks, frankly. Why does someone who says he represents "change" have so many Jurassic Marxists in his camp calling the shots? He needs to repudiate this crew now.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright is Wrong and is a liar, plain and simple.

2008-04-26T22:45:00.004-04:00

Mr Wright,

I have watched your sermons. I have heard your lies. I have watched and heard you stretch facts, misstate and exaggerate for your purpose. Your words are on tape and public knowledge.
You mislead, manipulate, confuse and lie. You are a key puppet for the father of all lies. You use the Word of God, Jesus' words to spread your hate, your racism, your lies. You need Jesus. You need to understand Jesus crucified, risen and ruling. You need to understand that you are part of the problem not the solution. You need to love. I will pray for you.

Yale 'Abortion Art' Exhibit

2008-04-21T14:37:00.003-04:00

It amazes me that Yale want this person to tell the truth about the ficticious self insemination.
"In this case, we will not permit her to install the project unless she submits a clear and unambiguous written statement that her installation is a work of fiction: that she did not try to inseminate herself and induce miscarriages, and that no human blood will be physically displayed in her installation," Yale College Dean Peter Salovey said in a statement released Monday.
How about pulling it because she is a liar? A cheater?
Higher education in the US is really going places. Down!

Journalism.

This is not just tissue, parasite or cells, this is a baby. Warning: Graphic

2008-03-05T14:00:00.023-05:00

So many in this country have an opinion about abortion and whether or not the subject, which I call a baby, is a fetus, tissue, parasite or what have you.
Even though many out there write lengthy stories and opinions about it, we never really look deep into what an abortion really is and what we are aborting.
It is nice and tidy, and some feel brave, to write about these things, boldly, as someone who is authoritative does. Surely we don't see the whole picture.
I want to be right about this.
So, let's look a little closer.
This is more of the information that you're not getting.

At 8 weeks old.

At 10 weeks old.

At 24 weeks old.

A fetus? You be the judge. I think it looks like a baby to me.

A choice? For who?

This is not birth control, it is life control.

"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me".

Something Roe V. Waders won't tell you.

2008-02-28T16:33:00.005-05:00

From Wikipedia and true.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norma_McCorvey

Norma Leah McCorvey (née Nelson born September 22, 1947, in Simmesport, Louisiana) is best known as the legal pseudonym "Jane Roe" in the landmark Roe v. Wade lawsuit in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion is a Constitutional right, overturning individual states' laws against abortion. Years later she recanted her support of abortion.

Background
The Roe vs. Wade case took three years of trials to reach the United States Supreme Court. In the meantime, McCorvey had not aborted, but had given birth to the baby in question. In the case, she claimed that her pregnancy was the result of rape. She now claims that to have been untrue.

In the 1980s, McCorvey revealed herself to be the "Jane Roe" of the famous case. She now claims that she had become the "pawn" of two young and ambitious lawyers (Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee) who were looking for a plaintiff with whom they could challenge the Texas state law prohibiting abortion.

In her 1994 autobiography, I Am Roe (her first book), she wrote of her sexuality. For many years she had lived quietly in Dallas, Texas, with her long-time partner, Connie Gonzales. "We're not like other lesbians, going to bars," she said in a New York Times interview. "We're lesbians by ourselves. We're homers."

Conversion
At a signing of that book in 1994, McCorvey was confronted by pro-life activist Flip Benham. Within a year, McCorvey converted to Christianity. She was baptized on August 8, 1995, by Benham in a Dallas backyard swimming pool, which event was filmed for national television. Two days later she announced that she had become an advocate of the pro-life movement (specifically, "Operation Rescue"), campaigning to make abortion illegal.

She wrote in her book, Won by Love,

"I was sitting in O.R.'s offices when I noticed a fetal development poster. The progression was so obvious, the eyes were so sweet. It hurt my heart, just looking at them. I ran outside and finally, it dawned on me. "Norma," I said to myself, "They're right." I had worked with pregnant women for years. I had been through three pregnancies and deliveries myself. I should have known. Yet something in that poster made me lose my breath. I kept seeing the picture of that tiny, 10-week-old embryo, and I said to myself, that's a baby! It's as if blinders just fell off my eyes and I suddenly understood the truth--that's a baby!"
I felt crushed under the truth of this realization. I had to face up to the awful reality. Abortion wasn't about "products of conception." It wasn't about "missed periods." It was about children being killed in their mother's wombs. All those years I was wrong. Signing that affidavit, I was wrong. Working in an abortion clinic, I was wrong. No more of this first trimester, second trimester, third trimester stuff. Abortion–at any point–was wrong. It was so clear. Painfully clear."

In 1998, she released a statement that affirmed her entrance into the Roman Catholic Church, and she has been confirmed into the church as a full member. She has also stated that she is no longer a lesbian.

In 2005, in McCorvey v. Hill, she petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the 1973 decision, arguing that the case should be heard again in light of evidence that the procedure harms women, but that petition was denied.

Despite asking for an abortion in her original suit, McCorvey never had the procedure. She gave birth to a girl, who was given up for adoption. As is common in contested (and sometimes uncontested) cases, the court decision took longer than the nine-month pregnancy.

On January 22, 2008, McCorvey endorsed Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul. McCorvey stated, "I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v. Wade. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn."

January 22 - A Bitter Day

2008-02-13T13:00:00.013-05:00

January 22, was the day that I was born.
January 22, (1973) is also the day that the Supreme Court upheld Roe V. Wade. It is, by far, the most disasterous and selfish legistlation that has ever been passed in US history.
On that day, our government said that it is ok for a women to murder her unborn baby for convenience sake.
Most folks call it abortion. I call it murder.
Did you know that:
- More than 44 million abortions have been performed in the U.S. since 1973.
- Two-thirds of all abortions are among never-married women. (I guess marriage has another benefit)
- Fifty-two percent of U.S. women having abortions are younger than 25 years old.
- 18 days after conception, a baby has a heartbeat.
- 6 weeks following conception, the babies brain waves can be measured.
- 8 weeks after conception, the stomach, liver, and kidneys of the baby are functioning, and fingerprints have formed.
- At 9 weeks, the unborn child can feel pain.
- 700,000 abortions are performed each year in America after 9 weeks into the pregnancy.
- The overwhelming majority of all abortions, (95%), are done as a means of birth control.
- Only 1% are performed because of rape or incest; 1% because of fetal abnormalities; 3% due to the mother's health problems.
- For every two babies born another baby dies in an abortion.
- 1.5 million babies are murdered each year.
- 4,000 babies are murdered every day.
- 1 baby is murdered every 20 seconds.
- Women all across America celebrate this right every year.
- Most women are mentally damaged after the procedure.
- Many women are physically damaged after the procedure.
- Abortion is a multi-billion dollar, for profit business.
- Your local OB-GYN or another close by is performing an abortion as I type this.

I just thought you should know. Know the facts. See for yourself.
A generation, LOST to selfishness and convinience.
Think about it.

Matthew 23:1-12

"1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2"The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5"Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.'
8"But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ.[b] 11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted".

James 1:26, 2:13, 4:11-12

Two homosexual youths seen on the gallows in Iran, moments before their deaths.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s seemingly ridiculous claim that "we don’t have homosexuals, like in your country" masks the cruel reality that his government does far worse than ignore gays.
