IS IT TIME TO PUT THE GOP OUT OF ITS MISERY? MAYBE – MAYBE NOT

IS IT TIME TO PUT THE GOP OUT OF ITS MISERY? MAYBE – MAYBE NOT

Social and Fiscal Conservatives May Want to Take a Second Look at the Libertarian Party.

Well, on November 6, the American people went to the polls to select a Santa – hmmm – President. It turned out to be a very sad day for both America and Israel. The outcome deeply disappointed many millions of voters because it became crystal clear that there are sufficient numbers of takers to overcome reason regarding economics, sustainability, the rule of law, the Constitution, and the negative impacts of big government.  They, the takers, seem completely at ease with subjugating the rights and liberties of everyone else in order get their stuff. Welcome to higher taxes, fewer jobs, death panels, more government control, longer lines, etc.

However, it’s now time to get back up, dust ourselves off and get back to work.

Emerging from this election were several lessons that the GOP must learn. First, the media will always aid the Democrat candidate’s effort to get elected, will twist the Republican candidate’s beliefs and record into something extreme regardless of what the truth actually is and will even go so far as to ignore and shape news that might negatively impact their candidate.  Second, election fraud is alive and well in Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Minnesota and other battleground states in sufficient degree to overcome the will of the people.  And third, the GOP must keep its principles or disband.  (I suppose one first has to define its principles, which might be different for the big government establishment of the Party.)

If the GOP elite are willing to toss away the principles of the majority of the Party (limited Constitutional government, fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, helping those in need get to their feet without creating dependency/enslavement) then they can count on many social conservatives, fiscal ‘Tea Party’ conservatives and many in between staying home.  Principles must not only be important to the GOP, but also to a sufficient majority (enough to overcome voter fraud) if the nation has any chance to survive and avert becoming an authoritarian state.

Principles are not something to run away from. This is the argument the GOP must make to conservative Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians.  Unfortunately right now, it appears that the vast majority of minorities are either completely brainwashed by the media and the Democrat Party or simply more interested in voting for what they misperceive as being in their best interest.  That’s a real tragedy because what they are really voting for is allowing their potential lives to pass them by, being told where to go, when to go and why to go.  Sad.

However, there might be another option disenfranchised GOP voters might take. They (as individuals) might decide that for the good of the nation they can reach an understanding, accommodation, and/or alliance with the Libertarian Party and put the GOP out of its misery unless it wakes up.

If one really thinks about it, the Libertarian Party might be a much better philosophical match for many people of faith and fiscal conservatives.  There’s a quiz on the website that might surprise you.  Before you take the quiz, I hope you read 3 articles I wrote concerning marriage, abortion, and drug legalization. Marriage is the Domain of the Church and God proposes that government should not be in the business of marriage at all. Obama Would Evidently Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater looks at Obama’s position and balancing interests along the timeline of pregnancy. A Step Towards Respect of Our Laws and The Social Mores by Legalizing Drugs is self-explainatory.

But first an admission – I was a bit angry with Gov. Gary Johnson for not throwing his support behind Gov. Romney to prevent Obama from further damaging the nation and the economy. However, after a few days, with reflection, I am now able to recognize (admit) that it is a principled act to vote for the person with whom you most agreed with.  But for me, even though I almost always self-identify as a Libertarian, I vote mainly Republican because they are the most likely to slow down the train on its journey to collapse of the economy and liberty.

So how can Social Conservatives possibly come to support a Party that could support legalization of drugs, prostitution and gay marriage without sacrificing their principles?

The answer goes back the very foundation of Christianity. Freewill, faith, and living a Christ like (spirit focused) life.  (Note – my personal beliefs have been shaped by family, study in college, and my own experiences through living, succeeding, failing, reflecting. It’s not my intention to endorse any particular path over any other here.)

Freewill is the essence of being a human being – the ability and right coming from God to make choices. Freewill applies to everyone (with the ability to make informed decisions, i.e. adults); even when we do stupid, self-destructive acts.  It’s what Obama and his supporters would like to remove from those with whom they disagree.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”

Whatever your interpretation of these passages, they certainly involve choices freely made and carry consequences expressed and implied.  Even though different thoughts comes to each person’s mind when reading the words and phrases ‘love’, ‘soul’, ‘Lord your God’, ‘eternal life’, ‘your neighbor as yourself’, and ‘you will live’; I do hope they don’t involve giving the government power to limit your conscience and dictate what beliefs are acceptable.  (Even for the non-believer, these passages describe a process that could lead to a deep level of self-discovery.)

The above passages might also explain why the Bible says, “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”  Can’t the same be said for all of us – we’re all damaged goods to some degree? We all struggle separated from our lives’ potential and/or the spirit by our own attachments (money, drugs, alcohol, jealousy, envy, power, wants, porn, politics, video games, iPhone 5,the Internet, dependency on government).

However, I do believe that one person’s problematic attachments can’t be universally applied to everyone else. Do you?

Separation is the issue and that which causes separation is the problem for the individual.  Those of faith can’t bring others to understanding or conformity simply by enacting laws forbidding objectionable conduct. It’s their journey and their decisions. You only make criminals of them and make it harder for them leave it behind when they come to their senses.  People of faith can only act as examples, live honestly, live with principles, raise strong families, voice their opinions, help their neighbors, find support in like minded people and vote. (We can rightly strengthen laws aimed at preventing the injurious consequences of bad decisions like drunk or drugged driving to the innocent.)

Those of every faith trying to live spiritual, reflective, loving lives are important because they act as examples of stability, responsibility, love and principle. They serve as models (for those caught up in the satisfy and serve me, me, me of today’s world) of thousands of years of understanding of what works, even today. Recognizing something bigger than yourself, raising a responsible family, redemption and achievement are not bad things.

Personal salvation (religious or otherwise) is not achieved through government action implementing its version of ‘social justice’ (code for socialism).  It is not social justice when the government steals from those who have struggled to be successful to ‘help’ thoseit chooses (creating dependency in exchange for dependable votes).  In fact, most times it makes it more difficult for those called (love your neighbor as yourself) to help the poor, the innocent, and those in need.  Take for example, the attack on the ‘religious liberty’ rights of employers (Catholic Church) by forcing them to pay for abortions and contraceptives vis-à-vis providing health insurance that must cover contraception and abortions.  To be true to Catholic beliefs about life beginning at conception, they will need to stop providing any health insurance to their employees, possibly close their hospitals.  This is actually what Obama wants. He wants to destroy the private insurance market so the government (while blaming believers and secular employers who can’t afford Obamacare) will be ‘forced’ to go to a single payer system with them (death panels) saying who is worthy of life and medical resources.

I’m sure the Libertarian Party would support the Religious Liberty rights of those (seeking to contract for appropriate health insurance) with deeply held beliefs struggling against intrusive government.

Thankfully, the Catholic Church is saying there’s a 100% chance of civil disobedience if the feds don’t back off.  I’ll be there with them, will you?

The current path the government is on (dominated by socialists and leftists) is one of dictating what people must believe, how they must act, how they must think, what choices they have available, what recourse (lack of recourse, i.e. guns) they have available to stand up against unjust, dishonest, authoritarian government today and in the future.

The proper role of our federal government is intentionally limited and is meant to protect the space around the individual for him or her to make their choices and reach their potential (or not).  The path of Obama’s government can only lead to mediocrity and dependency for the masses.  It’s one with no real future or choices for anyone, especially the very old and the very young.  Surely people of faith must find such a future where freewill plays such a minimal role abhorrent.  It’s the Story of the Tower of Babel being repeated – turning Americans into uniform bricks.

It’s not a course for those who truly want to be free.

Larry Sinclair’s Journey –

 

Will Larry Sinclair have a Quo Warranto action against Obama?

Well, well, it seems the media is looking under every rock, in every strip club for the possibly of a scandal that will tarnish the image of those who oppose Obama’s policies.   They are looking in the wrong places for a scandal of epic proportions.  Those can only be found in the back of White Limos!

Maybe all this newfound curiosity on the part of the ‘media’ will bring them back to visit the accusations of Larry Sinclair.  If they would actually investigate Larry Sinclair’s claims, they would likely find that his accusations hold water.

I’m not going to hold my breath because everyone knows that the only water the ‘media’ holds is Obama’s. 

Larry Sinclair is still around, his story is still plausible, his statements are still consistent, nothing in the time-line has been refuted, and he’s running for Congress in Florida.  Now that’s a story!

RNC Strip Club Spree Raises Eyebrows, Yawns

By MCCAIN

The cable channel airwaves are awash with news of an RNC strip club spending scandal which was disclosed in the Republican National Committee’s financial report. Must be a slow news day but we will cover this lustful story like a wet blanket because inquiring minds want to know who was there and what exactly happened.

The latest RNC public disclosures indicate that fully $2,000 was spent at an upscale LA strip club in California. As a reporter who worked undercover for years in this field, I can report that two thousand dollars would cover an entry fee for 8 people, 1 drink each, and 1 tip each. Men behaving like men? Stop the presses!

Unenlightened media personalities are taking to calling this not only a strip club, but a “bondage” strip club because a couple of the dancers used leather and whips when dancing the poll. These tea totaling liberals have ne’er witnessed such behavior in their college coffee shops, so what they do not yet know is that all strip clubs in the world are so inclined to entertain their guests with such toys.

Nevertheless the RNC says that it is investigating the expenditure presumably because of the bad publicity this story will generate among their many gay and lesbian supporters. Heh.

The $2,000 was invested at the Voyeur West Hollywood in Los Angeles, which is an expensive nightclub that caters to the rich and famous in Hollywood. Most importantly RNC chairman Michael Steele is reportedly outraged, and says that no, he was not present, no way, Jose for the good times.

An interest in strip clubs is one topic which clearly delineates the average GOP strip club man from Barack Obama himself so we do not believe that the president attended this RNC event. After all Obama did famously find himself in a strip club before his U.S. Senate run apparently just once. Reports are that he quickly headed to the door. Whether our president is disinterested in affairs of the flesh or worried about bad publicity remains a mystery.

Among other rumors drifting about before the presidential election, some of the most fantastic and unbelievable are those made by Larry Sinclair (video below). He is the man who claimed to have had gay sex with Obama when the president was in his formative years as a young man in the late 1990s…Continue Reading

California ‘had duty’ to examine Obama eligibility

Keyes’ brief cites Supreme Court determination candidates can be removed from ballot

Posted: March 29, 2010

© 2010 WorldNetDaily

A brief submitted to an appeals court in California explains that elections officials in California had a duty to examine Barack Obama’s eligibility to the office of president during the 2008 election.

WND previously has reported on the case brought by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes and others.

He has argued that a judge’s earlier dismissal of the case ignored significant precedents, that state officials previously removed from the ballot a nominee for president simply because he did not meet constitutional eligibility requirements and in another situation, a court actually removed a government’s chief elected executive from office for not being eligible.

A multitude of cases have been brought over the issue of Obama’s eligibility. Some are by critics who have doubts about whether he was born in Hawaii in 1961 as he has written, and others are from those who question whether the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens – Obama’s father was a subject of the British crown at Obama’s birth – from being eligible for the presidency.

The disputes revolve around the Constitution’s demand that the president be a “natural born citizen.” …Continue Reading

Code Pink mob shuts down Rove book event

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 30, 2010 02:31 AM

They’re baaaaaack in full force. The speech-stifling, original angry mob of Code Pinkos shouted down Karl Rove during a book tour event in Beverly Hills tonight — forcing him to cut his remarks short and leave before attendees could get their books signed. Code Pink co-founder/terror-coddler/Obama funder Jodie Evans pulled her old “citizens’ arrest” prank and stormed right up to Rove with handcuffs. She and other members tried to incite the crowd with shouts of “war criminal.”

Searchlight vs. L.A.: Rival Rallies Reveal Stark Right/Left Divide

On March 27, 2010, thousands of people gathered in the small town of Searchlight, Nevada, for a political rally.

Just 250 miles away and seven days earlier, there was another political rally of similar size in Los Angeles on March 20, 2010.

The Searchlight rally was generally oriented toward the political “right.”

The BOPAC Report:

The Globe continues to do the heavy lifting for the media. The story the media is trying disparately to hide in order to keep the Obama “Fairy Tale” alive.

Michelle Obama’s Fury

FIRST Lady Michelle Obama is spearheading a shocking White House cover-up, insiders say in a blockbuster GLOBE world exclusive. Sources detail the cunning tactics furious Michelle is using to muzzle the man who claims to have had gay sex and cocaine encounters with the President as she battles to protect her husband’s image. It’s must reading for every American!

Five to one the story is about Larry Sinclair!

CitizenWells is reporting some good news today.

Phil at the Right Side of Life reports:
“Murray v. Geithner: Judge Denies Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss RE: AIG, Sharia Law”

“The Thomas More Law Center had originally filed suit in December of 2008 challenging the constitutionality of a portion of the “Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008” (EESA) that appropriated $40 billion in taxpayer money to fund the federal government’s majority ownership interest in AIG, which engages in Shariah-based Islamic religious activities that the Center considers are “anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish.”

They now report that Federal District Court Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff has denied the Defendant’s (Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the Federal Reserve Board) Motion to Dismiss:”

“In his well-written and detailed analysis issued yesterday, Judge Zatkoff denied the request by the Obama administration’s Department of Justice to dismiss the lawsuit. The request was filed on behalf of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the Federal Reserve Board – the named defendants in the case. In his ruling, the judge held that the lawsuit sufficiently alleged a federal constitutional challenge to the use of taxpayer money to fund AIG’s Islamic religious activities.”…Continue Reading

The President Is ‘Keeping Score’

By KARL ROVE

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.

A few weeks ago, Mr. DeFazio voted against the administration’s stimulus bill. The comment from Mr. Obama was a presidential rebuke and part of a new, hard-nosed push by the White House to pressure Congress to adopt the president’s budget. He has mobilized outside groups and enlisted forces still in place from the Obama campaign.

Senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and her chief of staff, Michael Strautmanis, are in regular contact with MoveOn.Org, Americans United for Change and other liberal interest groups. Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina has collaborated with Americans United for Change on strategy and even ad copy. Ms. Jarrett invited leaders of the liberal interest groups to a White House social event with the president and first lady to kick off the lobbying campaign.

Its targets were initially Republicans, as team Obama ran ads depicting the GOP as the “party of no.” But now the fire is being trained on Democrats worried about runaway spending.

Americans United is going after Democrats who are skeptical of Mr. Obama’s plans to double the national debt in five years and nearly triple it in 10. The White House is taking aim at lawmakers in 12 states, including Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad, Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor. MoveOn.Org is running ads aimed at 10 moderate Senate and House Democrats. And robocalls are urging voters in key districts to pressure their congressman to get in line….Continue Reading

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

April 2, 2009

First National Conference on Barack Obama’s missing original birth certificate and college records will be held in Washington, DC April 3-4.

(Washington, DC) The first National Conference on Barack Obama’s missing birth certificate and college records will be held in Washington, DC April 3rd and 4th. Conference Executive Director Andy Martin has reserved space at the Capital Hilton, 1001 16th Street NW, but final space arrangements will depend on attendance. The conference will be taped professionally for later posting on the Internet.

“The American people are entitled to a serious discussion on the total absence of Obama’s fundamental historical records, and that’s what we intend to deliver,” says Martin. “Can anyone honestly say that the original typewritten birth certificate of a U. S. president should not be public? Likewise, his high school and college records? Missing? I don’t believe these absences are defensible. Obama owes us full disclosure.”

MEDIA CONTACT: Andy Martin [CELL]  (917) 664-9329.

Conference updates:

1. Advance work begins Thursday

An advance party in Washington, DC will begin preparing for the National Conference on Thursday, April 2nd.

2. Andy Martin’s pre-conference observations

I am excited by this conference. Preparation has been a learning experience. We have received some very intelligent thoughts and links, as well as the usual tripe that Obama is a space alien, etc. Anti-Obama diehards don’t seem to realize they help BHO when they engage in reckless exaggeration. I am committed to digging for facts and truth, not smearing Mr. Obama. I look for a serious discussion of the issues, not frivolity and exaggeration. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/01/
major-conservative-site-d_n_181823.html

The conference will be taped professionally by a designated videographer, later edited, and placed on the Internet. The seriousness of our discussion will keep the questions of the birth certificate and college records burning. Many people outside the Washington, DC area who can’t attend have expressed support and are looking forward to the Internet version.

Remember, this is not a bash “Bailout Barack” free-for-all. We are sticking to the birth certificate (and related issues) and school records.

3. We still need money; please send

We have no idea how many people will be attending. The nominal $10 registration fee will not cover the costs of increasing our space in a major hotel three blocks from the White House.

If you would like to make an online contribution to help defray the costs of the Conference please donate at:
http://CommitteeofOneMilliontoDefeatBarackObama.com.
You can also send a check to me at the Conference registration address in New York (see above).

In either case, just mark your check “conference expenses” or send us a separate e-mail if you make an online donation, and we will only use your donation to defray the costs of the Conference. If attendance exceeds expectations, we will need a quick thousand dollars to move to a larger room.

Please help if you can.

4. Third reminder on local contact number, etc.

As soon as we have occupied our space at the Capital Hilton, we will issue an e-mail and twitter.com update. My cell-phone will be your phone contact. (917) 664-9329; please make a note of it. Usually I do not have my cell phone on all the time, but it will be on constantly starting April 2nd.

5. The “Big Surprise”

We have had more e-mails with people expressing their opinions on what the “Big Surprise” will be on April 4th. When we announce the “Big Surprise” there will be a media explosion. You are welcome to submit your guess. We will try to recognize the winner, if there is one.

Obama nominee Sees Sharia in America – why not?

UPDATE: Public Enemy #1 Soros thanked Harold Koh in one of his books

Jawdropper which, given President Hussein’s daily record, is no small feat. Sharia law in America? This is the dawning of the barbaric age in America.

I think Koh kinda likes the rape is legit thing. Or is it the child bride thing?

Jihad Watch has the whole thing here:

Obama nominee sees no “reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States”

On top of that, this Obama pick believes that “America’s focus on the War on Terror [is] ‘obsessive.'” And his list of countries that flagrantly disregard international law highlights North Korea, Iraq, and the U.S.A. — which he collectively calls “the axis of disobedience.”

“Obama’s most perilous legal pick,” by Meghan Clyne for the New York Post

Will the people not rise up? Do they even know this is happening?

JUDGES should interpret the Constitution according to other nations’ legal “norms.” Sharia law could apply to disputes in US courts. The United States constitutes an “axis of disobedience” along with North Korea and Saddam-era Iraq.

Those are the views of the man on track to become one of the US government’s top lawyers: Harold Koh….Continue Reading

Americans Might Want To Heed the Admonitions of The Past Regarding Election

Americans Might Want To Heed the Admonitions of The Past

We are quickly approaching the day when the direction of America will be decided. Will America follow a course steeped in ideology tempered by history or will she follow a course steeped mainly in ideology? Will the electorate be aware that these are America’s choices? Probably not, looking at the current polls, it appears that this election will be based mostly on faith and hope for change. If informed reason were being applied, the poll results would most likely be different.

One can easily draw the distinction between Senators McCain and Obama based on ideology tempered by history verses ideology alone by looking closely at their lives.

A person I admire, Oprah Winfrey, once said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” I think this is sound advice that proves true 99 percent of the time. America has seen Sen. McCain through many years and he has remained a consistent and dedicated public servant. Early in his career in the military he probably held strongly to some sort of ideology that grew out of the cold war. Maybe it involved the concepts of good forces prevailing over unjust forces. Just as the Vietnam War grew out of the cold war and threw light on the realities of conflict; the Vietnam War experience threw light on Sen. McCain’s own view of life.

When I look at Sen. McCain, I see a man who understands that core principles are what you are and they must not change simply because a situation changes. A severely battered John McCain had had an opportunity to leave his prison in Vietnam before other prisoners who were more senior, but he refused. Sen. McCain looked the immigration issue in America with compassion and tried to find a practical solution, an action that brought him condemnation by many. Sen. McCain warned of the financial nightmare that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac abuses were causing; but the Democrats in charge chose to ignore his advice. Many times Sen. McCain has reached across the aisle, pragmatically, to try to find solutions to America’s problems.

Sen. John McCain is a man of core principles and the one he holds most dear is “Country First”. I believe him because as Oprah said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Whatever ideology Sen. McCain may have held as a younger man has been tempered by his own history and America’s history into a commitment to put the interests of America above his own. This is the America voter’s choice of ideology tempered by history.

When I look at Sen. Obama, I see a man who has burst on the scene and captured the imaginations of millions. Surprisingly, supporters seem to have developed an incredibly strong attachment to the idea of Obama and what they perceive that means; so strong, in fact, that it boarders on religious faith. Many issues that would have sunk any other politician have disappeared in the mist. The Senator’s backers appear more preoccupied with his rhetoric of the future than anything about the past, any past, including Sen. Obama’s. The past is cliché, boring, out of date, damaged goods with no place in today’s world. However, Albert Einstein might have a little different view of the past. He has said, “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion”. I think Albert Einstein would consider Sen. Obama’s past just as important as the man being presented today.

Given the relative lack of leadership experience of Sen. Obama, reason would seem to dictate that his past should be even more important as a predictor of his future actions. However, in the politics of the day, the Media has assumed the role of advocate and obscurer for Sen. Obama’s campaign. Americans, who are trying to make a reasoned decision, are therefore having a very difficult time discerning what information is truthful and accurate; and what is not. What are the facts? This is a very real question in the minds of many voters. Quills drawn, the Media’s theory is that Obama is the one who must lead America. To support their vision, the Media does as Einstein, in a different context, counseled; “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”

Sen. Obama has been relentlessly pounding the theme that McCain equal four more years of George Bush, a narrative that has been sold in lockstep with the Press and Democratic Party leadership. One would think that common sense could see through the sales pitch, but it hasn’t. The Press has been constantly bashing President Bush for going on eight years. (I suspect mostly because they think he’s stupid, inarticulate and beneath them.)

Many of the America’s newly registered voters are younger; and therefore, they may be more susceptible to the myths of the Media. Apparently, their minimal life experience hasn’t given most of them much of an accurate barometer or enough common sense to judge fact from fiction. “Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen” another truism from Einstein’s repertoire that is at play here. The anti-Bush prejudice is raging, gathering steam, and Sen. McCain has been unjustly caught up in it web.

One other fact that the Media has attempted to distort is that somehow the current financial crisis was the result of the mean old Republican attempts to deregulate everything in sight. This is just another collection of prejudice reinforced by the Media that it is untrue, especially for Sen. McCain. He was one of the leaders in the efforts to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac; unfortunately, his efforts were blocked by the Chris Dodds and Barney Franks of the Democratic Party.

Where does Sen. Obama stand on the economy? He has stated and restated a desire to redistribute the wealth in America. This is exactly the wrong approach. Even a basic level of understanding about economics would act as a bar against trying to tax our way out of the current financial crisis. You don’t damage (over tax) those who are creating jobs and wealth for America and Americans. Regrettably, somehow too many Americans today have become accepting of the notion that the world (well the Federal Government) owes them a living and that wealth should be redistributed more ‘fairly’ to them.

The history of the ‘Great’ Depression clearly reveals that the measures implemented by government to overcome it were the reasons that the Depression became ‘Great’. Almost everyone recognizes that a thorough knowledge of the past is critical if we are not to repeat the mistakes of yesterday. However, I don’t think Sen. Obama understands it quite that way. Higher taxes and too much Federal intervention are not what the American economy needs today. As much as he hates to hear it, Sen. Obama’s economic ideas reek of socialism. We need to get back to the ideas of American innovation and personal responsibility.

Sen. Obama has been hailed as a superior intellect and amazing orator. But, who is he? What is his past? Who were those that stimulated and helped to form his thinking and beliefs? Sal Alinsky? Is he the same person today that he has been for the past 20 years?

A man is known by the company his mind keeps.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich

How much has the media allowed us to know about the depth of the relationships Sen. Obama had with William Ayers? Sen. Obama said he was just a guy in his neighborhood.

How much has the media allowed us to know about the depth of the relationship with Frank Davis? Andy Martin raises some interesting questions about this relationship.

How much has the Media allowed us to know about the depth of the relationships with Father Michael Pfleger, Minister Louis Farrakhan, and Rev. Wright? Aren’t these all company Obama’s mind kept? Are the ideologies encapsulated by many of Sen. Obama’s past associates very far from those espoused by Socialists and Marxists?

A man is known by the company his mind keeps.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich

How much has the Media allowed us to know about the relationship with Tony Rezko and his associates? Are the ideologies encapsulated by Tony Rezko’s actions those of corrupt politics?

A man is known by the company his mind keeps.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich

How much has the Media allowed us to know about the alleged relationship with Larry Sinclair?

To date, Sen. Obama has disavowed most of these people and/or their statements and actions. How much weight should Americans give to such a disavowal?

Should we accept the revelation of Rev. Wright?

“He’s a politician. I’m a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. Those are two different worlds. I do what I do, he does what politicians do.”

Or should we follow Oprah’s direction?

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

Common sense and reason tell me to listen to both Oprah and Rev. Wright in Sen. Obama’s case. Sen. Obama, at the very least, has shown an incredible naiveté concerning his past associations and their impact on his reputation.

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. It is better be alone than in bad company.
George Washington

Common sense and reason also implies that if Sen. Obama were the man he is portrayed as, there would be a line of people from his past standing, waiting to tell his story. The story of how Sen. Obama became such a partisan divide bridge builder, such a healer, such a patriot, such a reconciler, such an economist, such a negotiator, such a defense strategist would all be stories I would like to hear.

Who from Sen. Obama’s past is standing or waiting to tell his story?

What is the Media not telling America about Sen. Obama’s relationship to ACORN?

How many other scandals and allegations are there just from our view? Are there some yet unknown scandals being hidden by the Media? What about the Berg v. Obama lawsuit that is challenging Sen. Obama’s eligibility to hold the Office of the Presidency? What about the other lawsuits is several states? What about the validity of Sen. Obama’s birth certificate? What about all the allegations set forth in Berg v. Obama? What about the allegations that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya? Why is that not news? What would happen should he win the election and then be found to be ineligible to hold office? What about the questions about the allegations about Obama’s past and/or current Indonesian citizenship? What about Sen. Obama’s alleged membership in a Socialist organization, New Party? What about Sen. Obama’s extreme views on abortion? What about the allegations that Sen. Obama violated provisions of the Logan Act during his last trip to Iraq and during the run-up to the Kenyan elections?

There is so much about Sen. Obama that Americans don’t know. Some people are choosing to ignore the reasonable inferences from Sen. Obama’s past, some people don’t care and some people are not informed or misled by Obama’s campaign and the Media. The mainstream Media has done a grave disservice to America in 2008. The full consequences of Sen. Obama becoming President, under so many clouds as are set forth above, cannot be fully predicted or prepared for.

Therefore, it is critical that Americans take this election seriously and start considering the numerous allegations facing Sen. Obama before November 4^th.

Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.
Theodore Roosevelt

In conclusion, America needs to take a breath and give another American voice a few moments of consideration.

Voter’s, Obama, Will o’ The Wisp, Change, Confounding Voter’s Perceptions

America’s Attachment to the Idea

of Change is the Perilous

“Will o’ The Wisp” That’s

Confounding Voter’s Perceptions

The phrase will o’ the wisp has be used to describe one, metaphorically speaking, who is holding so tightly to a goal that they doggedly follow any hints of it, oblivious to what lies unnoticed right under their noses. One of many descriptors is the image of a peasant farmer following a lantern light off in the distance, held by a mythical creature, whereupon the farmer winds up deep in the marsh. The farmer’s focus on the light is such that he becomes unaware of his surroundings; and waiting in the darkness, the consequences of blindly following the creature’s light stand ready to appear.

This is what seems to be happening in the 2008 Presidential election. Many voters are so attached to the idea of “change” or “change from” that they are not noticing information that is critical for sound decision making concerning their votes. It’s the information that gives hints of what consequences lay in the darkness and for the future. For these voters, the election is about solely about change; and therefore, thoroughly analyzing new information as it comes available is not necessary. “Change” is the goal, the lantern light, the treasure and they can see it just there.

This year Sen. Obama has been ordained by the media as the only way to that goal. Normally most voters would be constantly reviewing and searching for information about an unknown candidate; but not this year. Normally the media would be diligently searching for information that would give voters a glimpse of a unknown candidate’s character; but not this year. Unfortunately, the media has relinquished their traditional role as the source of reliable (true) information this year. This year, the media has assumed the role of advocate and protector. (Consider what has happened when an average citizen confronted Sen. Obama. The media immediately circled the wagons and brought their resources to bear in an effort to destroy Joe the Plumber’s credibility.)

When it comes to recognizing truth, I believe half of what I see and very, very little of what I read. With today’s media so clearly taking sides regarding this election and regarding most issues, what I read must be scrutinized to discover what facts are facts, what’s the real context, what facts are omitted, where opinion is stated as fact, what is implied as fact, what is credible, what is the author’s bias. As a voter, I’m not willing to blindly follow a party’s or a newscaster’s version of truth. It’s difficult and time consuming work. The critical questions for me are: Am I as fully informed as I can be? Am I putting my country first and my own self-interests second?

Regarding Sen. Obama, instead of providing real information for voters to use to judge Senator Obama’s character, intentions, believes, and actions; the media continues to feed voters a ‘fairy tale’ that paints the Senator as new, pure, wise, a messiah, the bringer of Hope and Change. I know the media won’t like this, but they ARE the peasant farmer blindly following the mythical creature who carries the lantern into the marsh because they too have lost their objectivity.

I can’t just blame the media for this phenomenon. It IS the responsibility of every voter to investigate and try to find out as much as they can about the candidates. The will o’ the wisp is the mantra of “change” this year. Change is the goal for voters. I do agree that Sen. Obama will bring the most change if he is elected; however, the change he brings has the possibility of seriously damaging America’s economy and future. Regrettably, many voters appear to be looking for a type of change that changes how much they can take from the government. The federal budget ballooning, the degradation of the concept of personal responsibility, the effect on others as the economy sputters doesn’t seem to matter to those who would vote on the basis of what they might get. These voters are not considering what consequences might be in the darkness on the marsh.

Obama’s wanting to “spread the wealth around” is textbook socialist economic policy. It does have a strong appeal to those Americans who would rather take from others and not earn for themselves. Unfortunately, it does seem as though American is becoming a “what’s in it for me” country. History has shown us over and over that raising taxes on businesses and those who create jobs (especially during an economic downturn) results in less revenue for government, less growth in the economy, fewer jobs being created, less incentive to take risks that lead to innovative solutions for problems. Why would we want to go there? Senator Obama’s change would not result in any betterment of the situations of American families. Obama’s change would result in a further slowing of our economy and the concurrent lost of jobs and benefits. The “what’s in it for me” voters would be cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

When I pull the lever on Election Day, I will be fully aware of what voting means. It means that I have tried to best of my abilities to ascertain who my selectee is, what they believe, where they will take the country, what their character is, and what will be the likely consequences if my candidate prevails. In the end, I believe that America will deserve the consequences of this election, good and bad. If America, an informed America, wants to go down the road of socialism with an inexperienced, minimally vetted candidate; so be it. I however will not voluntarily be on board for such a journey.

If voters and the media were not so intoxicated by the idea of change, change they have to have, they would likely be paying attention to all of the skeletons in Sen. Obama’s closet.

They would be looking closely at Sen. Obama’s past associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Pastor Michael Pfleger, Bernadine Dorn, Minister Louis Farrakhan, and William Ayers. They would be looking into Sen. Obama’s connection to ACORN, the organization that is up to its ears in voter fraud. They would be looking into Sen. Obama’s connections to the crisis in the U.S. financial system through the actions, policies and political contributions regarding Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. They would be looking into the allegations of Larry Sinclair, who says that he and Sen. Obama used cocaine and engaged in consensual sex in 1999. They would be looking into allegations concerning Sen. Obama’s campaign’s involvement with censorship and intimidation against those who oppose Sen. Obama – (Stanley Kurtz for example). They would be looking into Sen. Obama’s extreme views concerning abortion, some would say infanticide. They would be looking into the allegations set forth in Berg v. Obama that challenge whether Sen. Obama is even eligible to hold the Office of President of the United States. They would be looking into the allegations that Sen. Obama violated the Logan Act during his last trip to Iraq and during the elections in Kenya that left more than a thousand people dead.

In conclusion, it is my belief that this is the most important election in my lifetime. It will hurt me deeply if America is destroyed by such a naïve and short sighted phenomenon as is the “Will o’ the Wisp” that the bumper sticker of “Change We Can Believe In” has set in motion.

NoQuarter Post – Obama Votes “Present” On Mortgage Reform

This excellent article about the Mortgage Crisis and Obama is found at NOQuarter:

Obama Votes “Present” On Mortgage Reform

In the Wall St. Journal,, Peter J. Wallison, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, argues that Senator Obama voted “Present” on mortgage reform when it counted:

In each of the first two presidential debates, Barack Obama claimed that “Republican deregulation” is responsible for the financial crisis. Most viewers probably accepted this idea, especially because Republicans generally do favor deregulation.

But one essential fact was missing from the senator’s narrative: While there has been significant deregulation in the U.S. economy during the last 30 years, none of it has occurred in the financial sector…

If Sen. Obama had been asked for an example of “Republican deregulation,” he would probably have cited the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA), which has become a popular target for Democrats searching for something to pin on the GOP. This is puzzling. The bill’s key sponsors were indeed Republicans, but the bill was supported by the Clinton administration and signed by President Clinton. The GLBA’s “repeal” of a portion of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 is said to have somehow contributed to the current financial meltdown. Nonsense.

Adopted early in the New Deal, the Glass-Steagall Act separated investment and commercial banking. It prohibited commercial banks from underwriting or dealing in securities, and from affiliating with firms that engaged principally in that business. The GLBA repealed only the second of these provisions, allowing banks and securities firms to be affiliated under the same holding company. Thus J.P. Morgan Chase was able to acquire Bear Stearns, and Bank of America could acquire Merrill Lynch. Nevertheless, banks themselves were and still are prohibited from underwriting or dealing in securities.

Our resident economics expert, Larry Doyle* agrees:

The repeal of Glass-Steagall (GLBA) is a total non-event in the midst of the current economic turmoil. What this repeal did was allow commercial banks to get more deeply involved with investment banking activities. Thus, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America were able to utilize their significant balance sheets and capital bases to become a force on Wall St. Fast forward ten years and it is those institutions that are now thankfully supporting and bailing out our system.

I asked Mr. Doyle to elaborate, to help make sense of the current situation regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (“F/F”). This also serves to clarify Senator Obama’s ‘non-role’ in working to get us out of this mess and makes clear that John McCain actually stood up when he said he did:

Throughout the 90s and into the early part of this century, F/F were utilizing their significant lobbying power to gain an ever increasing portion of the overall U.S. mortgage market. They had the enormous advantage of being able to borrow at just marginally over U.S, government rates given the “implied” but not explicit backing of Uncle Sam. I mean come on that worst case scenario could never come to pass!!

While F/F were designed to provide liquidity to the market in the form of bundling mortgages into securities, charging a guarantee fee for return of principal to the investors in these Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”), and then selling the MBS into the private market, they decided to take a different path. What path was that? Given their ability to borrow at very cheap rates they decided to effectively grow their own internal portfolios. This business model was nothing more than a massively levered hedge fund under the guise of “helping the homeowner”.

In order to grow these portfolios, though, they needed more mortgages. Thus they went directly to the mortgage originators and worked with them to increase the mortgage terms and types that they would buy.

As Freddie and Fannie were executing this strategy, there were 3 groups that stood up and said that this activity was getting out of control. Who were they?? On Capitol Hill, Senator Richard Baker (R-LA) carried the torch. There were actually a number of large banks including Chase and Citi that formed a group called FM Watch that complained that Freddie and Fannie were taking market share from them in their own mortgage origination business. This group was conflicted because the investment banking arms of these institutions were pressured by Freddie and Fannie to quell their complaints or they would refrain from doing business with them. Lastly, the Wall St. Journal was vociferous in their complaints that these entities were getting out of control. Freddie and Fannie responded that they were merely trying to fulfill their mission of providing affordable rates to potential homeowners.

Well how was the impact of Freddie and Fannie on the overall mortgage rates that passed through to the consumer? A number of private studies put the “benefit” of Freddie and Fannie to the American homeowner at between 2 and 4 basis points. In layman’s terms, if a homeowner would have gotten a 6.75% rate then having Fannie/Freddie on the scene helped them get a 6.72% rate.

Now wait a minute, you mean the system was taking all that risk and F/F grew their internal “hedge fund” portfolios of north of 1.5 trillion for a benefit of 3bps. How does that work? Well, the benefits accrued to the shareholders and the executives including Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson.

And as we know, these two gentlemen have been linked to Barack Obama. More good judgment?

As this scenario played out, Senator Baker and then Senator McCain and other Republicans started to get up in arms about the enormous “systemic” risk that was developing. To be fair, Freddie Mac did work to root out the most egregious “predatory lending” that had been undertaken. That said, Freddie was the buyer of the bulk of sub-prime product in the market and without their bid the “overly aggressive” lending would not have taken place to the extent that it did. Fannie was the buyer primarily of Alt-A product which included a lot of the loans without full documentation.

Both F/F were effectively cooking their books. Freddie actually made more money than they were reporting (putting revenue away for future years) while Fannie had truly pathetic risk management and grossly overstated earnings. Both firms reporting of earnings were totally driven by “maximizing” executive bonus packages. Very simply, heads I win, tails you (meaning Uncle Sam and taxpayers) LOSE!!

Even in the midst of this, while Baker, McCain, the WSJ and others were railing on how these agencies were managed, regrettably the necessary regulations and oversights never got out of committee because the Democrats, primarily Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen. Chuck Schumer, and Rep. Barney Frank crushed it.

At this juncture, Barack Obama votes present. He was not willing to stand up to his party because he was in bed with Fannie/Freddie and was well on his way to being the second greatest beneficiary of their largesse only after Chris Dodd. To think that this crowd is now going to hold hearings to “review” this crisis is akin to the “inmates running the asylum!!

Comment:

The media continues to put out misinformation regarding culpibility for the financial crisis and Sen. Obama role.  Where are they? AWOL and in the tank for Obama at the cost of America.

The Media’s behavior is shameful. What about the allegations that Obama used cocaine and engaged in consensual gay sex with Larry Sinclair in November of 1999?   Will the MSM stop taking sides in the election and do their jobs? Will they investigate Mr. Sinclair’s allegations?  Will they dig into Obama’s past as hard as they have jumped on Sarah Palin? Will they look deeply into Obama’s relationships with William Ayers, Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, Acorn, and all the rest? Will they look into the Democratic involvement in Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac failures? Will they call Sen. Obama to task for his possible violations of the Logan Act in Iraq and Kenya?

The Good Ship America, The Media Ocean and The Obama Iceberg

The Good Ship America, The Media Ocean and The Obama Iceberg

America has since its birth been a place where men and women from around the world could come and have ‘a chance’ to reach their individual desires. It has never been a place freeloaders would seek because real effort was normally required to obtain personal dreams and vision. Until the relatively recent past, the Public Schools tried very hard to teach and make clear the reasons that people were seeking America. American History and Civics were requirements for graduation and were understood to be the foundation for creating a good citizen. (Personal responsibility was also expected in the schools.)

A child miseducated is a child lost.
John F. Kennedy

Education of our children, including civics and government, was meant to assure that future electorates would have a basic understanding of our founding documents, values and principles necessary to create voters who could see a bigger picture than only themselves. America is now in a financial crisis partly because the education system (K-12 and College) has been undermined by socialist and semi-socialist groups that want our people to forget, actually never learn, the system of principles, laws and ethics that have historically made America great. How many of you really believe that the younger generation has sufficient understanding and appreciation for how America came to be?

Today, such groups look to find ways to minimize, take advantage, twist, undermine, and subvert the systems and values in America that used to work for and protect Americans in times of crisis; the education system, the financial systems, the military and law enforcement systems, and the other systems of government.

A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today’s military rejects include tomorrow’s hard-core unemployed.
John F. Kennedy

Undermining America is the work and agenda of those like ‘education reformer’ and domestic terrorist, William Ayers, who propounded violence to achieve his goals and vision for America.

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.
John F. Kennedy

The myths told by those like Ayers, Rev. Wright, Acorn, Pelosi, Reid, and yes, Sen. Obama are that America is the root cause of the problems in the world, that businesses are mostly made of evil people out to take everything they can, that everyone is entitled to a government that will meet their every need.

It is the spreading of these myths that allow reason and common sense to be thrown out the window. Social reengineering without a complete understanding of finance and economics has nearly brought America and the World to its knees. It is how the Community Reinvestment Act began the process of forcing banks to make riskier and riskier loans. It is how groups like ACORN gained power and began extorting banks to go even further down the road of riskier loans. It is how Democrats manipulated organizations like Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac into buying up more and more worthless loans and further forcing banks to require higher and higher percentages of loans in neighborhoods with unstable home values. It is how and why the reform efforts of Sen. McCain, Centrist Democrats and Republicans were blocked in their attempts to reform Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac for the past several years. It is how we are here in this mess.

There was a time when bankers knew communities and would sometimes accept a handshake and rest assured that the offer of a hand meant that a loan would be repaid; they were the ethics of the time. To not repay a legitimate debt was a matter that brought shame; and rightly so. Bankers were neighbors, friends, and former classmates, people who were generally held in high regard and felt a genuine sense of duty to the community. Teachers understood that is was important to instill a belief in students that America, while not perfect, is a great country founded by amazing people doing extraordinary things relying on principles that are still relevant today. Most parents taught children to respect the teachers and military service; and teachers respected parents. Where are American Ethics now?

Kill your parents.

William Ayers

The reality is that America is facing a very uncertain and dangerous world with many serious problems. America needs citizens who, in the American spirit, are being innovative and being rewarded for being innovative. The solutions to climate change are not going to come from government seizing power, making proclamations, and attempting to socialize everything it touches. It is going to come from citizens fully engaged in science and innovation to develop solutions that can stand the test of the marketplace and offer rewards to the inventors. Climate change will be solved by science finding ways to REMOVE CO2 from the atmosphere and ways to use the material removed (carbon fiber cars). The reality is that America needs a real commitment to drill our own oil and build nuclear plants to buy time for science and technology to innovate our way out of this situation. The result or effect of socialism on a society is mediocrity; and mediocrity is not something we can afford if we are to survive.

The standard argument against drilling is that it will take 10 years…..to see any benefits. This is more of the myth spreading by far left politician and the media. If a REAL commitment to drilling and nuclear power is announced, oil prices will fall tomorrow based solely on the knowledge of America’s resolve.

Today it seems that America is like a ship sailing in very rough seas. The ocean that she is sailing is full of people, Americans, ready to make a difference and put their shoulders to the problems facing America. However, as we all know, oceans are full of sharks and this ocean is so infested with sharks that it is named the Media Ocean. The Media is trying desperately to shape the information that American needs, support those who have caused our children to become lost and susceptible to lies and distortions, and steer her to a distant point on the horizon that appears as a safe harbor. They, the media, are churning the waters more and more to cause the people to panic, to not be able to see clearly while they are urged to follow the Media’s lead.

But beware America, the point they are steering America to is the Iceberg Obama. Above the water line is an illusion of seductive prose and promises, a nice smile, an invocation of JFK, a calming presence. But lurking beneath the waves is the bulk of the Iceberg Obama, 75% of the reality hidden from view, being covered up by the churning waters the media are creating. It is the Obama that cannot be revealed to the voters because an informed voter would reject him.

The Obama that has a close relationship to William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist; the group ACORN that is currently embroiled in voter fraud allegations; the hateful Preacher and Spiritual Advisor Jeremiah Wright; the drug use and sexual allegations of Larry Sinclair; the former membership in a Socialist Group in Chicago; the possible violations of the Logan Act by his actions in Iraq and Kenya, the apparent lack of proof that he is even eligible to be President by law; the corruption of Chicago politics where kickbacks, political favors and bribes are the norm; and Tony Rezko, the fund raiser and political mentor of Sen. Obama, must all be ignored, distorted or discredited by the media.

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
John F. Kennedy

I agree with President Kennedy’s statement – if only his “open market” premise existed. Tragically, it does not. The media, the Obama campaign, the Democratic leadership are all working to make sure an open market of ideas is not allowed. The media has been for years shaping the news to present the narrative they want America to follow. The media has been failing to report on or investigate legitimate issues that adversely affect their narrative. They manipulate and play with context until what they report fits the storyline. This election season the internet is being scrubbed of critical information that opposes Sen. Obama’s campaign. Several internet sites are being censored by some of the search engines so people can’t easily find important information.

Maybe the quote could be rewritten:

A Media that is afraid to let the people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a Media that is up to some nefarious crap.

The reality appears to be that there is a hidden agenda that is trying to emerge and dominate American politics through Sen. Obama’s manufactured ascension.

Sen. Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the media all love and need chaos and panic in America so they can hold power. It’s up to all of us to research, look behind curtain, and stick our heads underwater to see the bottom of the iceberg that threatens America.

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.
John F. Kennedy

Likewise – a candidate, with as many suspect people and hate filled agendas in his past as Obama, could not possibly come to power without the aid of the media in creating panic and the false illusion of Obama as “The One”. The MEDIA is a big part of the Corruption that JFK would be referring if he were alive today.

Allowing a person to be elected President with such an unexamined and secret life, must not be allowed.

The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
John F. Kennedy

Battleground Florida – Larry Sinclair confronts Obama and the Media

Larry Sinclair is getting his story out on Sen. Obama’s campaign trail. Mr. Sinclair is dogging the Senator from The Sunshine State today asking the Sen. Obama where he was and what was he doing on the dates that Larry says that he and Sen. Obama were doing cocaine and having consensual gay sex. Everyone needs to stay tuned to Mr. Sinclair’s most excellent adventure trying to break through the media’s wall of See No Obama Scandals, Hear No Obama Scandals, Speak No Obama Scandals. Go to: http://larrysinclair-0926.blogspot.com/ to keep up Larry’s assault on media bias and Sen. Obama’s “fairy tales” that he is telling America. (To quote President Clinton) Let The Florida Sunshine in on Obama’s hidden life. Where’s the Media? AWOL

This is Larry Sinclair’s latest post:

Hello all…..

Good evening. Today started very early. Started on the phone with a syndicated morning radio show that airs in over 100 markets, which I will go on next week. Then I met with different local news producers with television and print news. Those meetings will be followed up tomorrow and over the weekend.

Contact cards, flyer’s, PC Videos were delivered to every radio station in a 200 mile area and I will be doing another interview tomorrow morning and one Saturday at 12:00 noon.

In all that I had the chance to have lunch with a couple of the “70 years old Hillary hags”

In addition it seems that a caller to the Dennis Miller show today also brought up the Donald Young, Obama, Sinclair matter. Now people are talking and that is what needs to happen.

Every local media outlet will put pressure on the National Media to report this story.

END

Good Luck Mr. Sinclair and stay safe! ZachJonesIsHome

Will the MSM stop taking sides in the election and do their jobs? Will they investigate Mr. Sinclair’s allegations? Will they dig into Obama’s past as hard as they have jumped on Sarah Palin? Will they look deeply into Obama’s relationships with William Ayers, Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, Acorn, and all the rest? Will they look into the Democratic involvement in Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac failures? Will they call Sen. Obama to task for his possible violations of the Logan Act in Iraq and Kenya?
