Burps? BURPS? What about far…..

What about the output from the other end? Anyhow, it is just another way of pushing centralized control, and mimicking one of the worst movies ever made

Because those food sources do not fart as much as cows, pigs, goats, and the other normal farm animals that are providing meat for the world. Until that is modified, so that no one should eat an animal. By law. Then it will be sea creatures. Soon, cannibalism will be the best option.

Now they the food staples covered. It’s also a great way to wack St. Valentine’s Day. Oh, and normal weddings. Sunday football. Going to a baseball game. Backyard barbecue’s. Things these Climahysterics hate.

Horror!

That last one may be a spoof, but, only because the Climahysterics haven’t thought of it yet.

Crossed at Pirate’s Cove, where if it moves, we’ll eat it.

Here’s Obama-Biden’s plan - which only offers daytime adoption.

Barack Obama wants to educate your child beginning as early as the age of “zero.” Mom’s and Dads out there - is that what you want?… and what does it mean that “early childhood education” begins at zero years old?

Barackobama.com provides a downloadable pdf titled PreK-12 Education Fact Sheet detailing Obama-Biden’s $10 billion per year plan to provide “a pre-school agenda that begins at birth.” This is a PRE-PRE-kindergarten plan, and includes child care and child development, as well.

Obama-Biden see this plan as a “Universal Pre-School for all,” which will be voluntary and we must assume, paid for by taxpayers. The “Government” will provide Early Learning Challenge Grants, matched by State funds, with a priority to “children in greatest need.”

We know what this means: we pay the daycare for poor children from zero to five years old. So many children live in such miserable circumstances; I might be in favor of daytime adoption, but let’s face it, there’s no telling what happens to these children while in the care of others…they are so young and defenseless, with teachers with who-knows-what qualifications or intentions. We cannot find teachers to teach upper grades, let alone qualified, loving and caring teachers for infants. At least, parents can be held accountable - but a school full of “teachers…” or so-called teachers?

Obama-Biden also plans to send a sort-of visiting nurse around to see everyone with a child under five years old - referred to in the plan as “the Nurse-family Partnership.” This “nurse,” will use

Hospitals are crying for nurses. Where will we find nurses qualified to “counsel” and “nurture” others?

On September 10th, Boston.com reported that Senator Obama criticized the McCain education plan:

Now consider this: As Chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Barack Obama channeled over $100 million dollars to pet projects, such as the South African Global Village, to celebrate Juneteenth (which replaces our Independence Day in some Black communities). In the years he served as Chairman of the Board, the Annenberg Foundation reported that no measurable improvements were found within the funded projects/schools - absolutely none…it was a dismal and embarrassing report.

Obama worked with Weatherman Underground terrorist, William Ayers, to help fund Ayers’ Small School Project.

Not only did he spend the money irresponsibly, he cheated the children of Chicago out funds to aid in accelerated learning opportunities.

In a November 2007 report, USA Today announced that Obama unveiled his $18 billion education plan. The $18 billion is to cover only “early childhood education, dropout prevention and teacher incentives. What about $10 million PER YEAR he says he needs, on his own webpage, just for early childhood education? As always, the numbers don’t add up.

Do we want this man running our schools? If your child is white, think about it. If your child is Black, think about it. If your child is Hispanic, think about it. Your right to raise your child is slipping away.

Liberals see no problem with a relationship between Barack Obama and Weatherman terrorist, William Ayers. After all, Ayers was just a young man caught up in the 1960’s protest of the VietNam war…he’s respectable now, because you see, he is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Chicago.

Here’s a quote from Ayers explaining the Weatherman philosophy. Tell me if this is the average “60’s protester?”

So, how many parents died at the hands of their child following the admonitions of the Weatherman? We’ll never know.

David Horowitz gives us a first-hand look at Ayers

Obama and Ayers and his convicted felon terrorist wife, Bernardine Dohrn, were likely connected as early as 1988. In fact, it’s a willing suspension of disbelief to think they were not. Why? Global Labor - When Did Bill Ayers and Barack Obama Meet? has done some mighty research.

The Obama’s, Michelle and Barack, were both employed by the law firm Sidley Austin; so were William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Bernardine Dorhn was refused admission to the New York bar but…

Later, both Barack and Michelle Obama were hired by Sidley Austin. I think it ridiculous to assume there was no talk around the office water-cooler about the Ayers.

Still later, Barack Obama went to work for Judson Miner, “a small civil rights law firm in Chicago.”

Barack Obama will do most anything to keep this relationship hidden. When you get to the voting booth, or hopefully long before, remember the photo above and Obama’s lack of judgement.

If he really abhorred William Ayers’ past, he still continued to use him to propel his career forward.

This ad hits Obama hard. He tried to dodge the issue through Joe Biden at the VP debate, and tried to come across as a hawk during his debate against John McCain, but would a hawk who supports our troops say and do these things?

As Ed says, Obama is the Code Pink candidate. Jodie Evans is one of Obama’s fundraisers, as well as being a founder of Code Pink who perhaps put the idea of meeting dictators without preconditions into Obama’s head, seeing as how she’s willingly met with Chavez, Ahmedinejad, and the like. She’s claimed that Iraqis are worse off now than they were under Saddam. She’s the founder of an organization that protests military recruitment centers, disrupted an Independence Day naturalization ceremonies, wants Americans to protest on Memorial Day, possibly committed treason, tried to ban the Blue Angels… the list goes on and on.

Do we want a Code Pink candidate in the White House? The Commander in Chief should be someone who at leasts respects our troops, not someone who accuses them of murder and cuts their funding and tries to cripple their strategy for victory.

McCain needs to be putting more ads out like this. Obama is not fit to be Commander in Chief.

Sarah Palin rally in Burlingame, Calif.

In conversation with various attendees, it unraveled to me that the profusion of California conservatives-who are in truth mostly libertarians-is not new; these are dormant Republican voters activated by either the simple goodness of the Governor of Alaska or the increasing feeling that the vaporous, vacant, “imperfect vessel” Barack Obama is a cipher hiding quite poisonous views.

So what played to this audience? What caused genuine applause? Well, one line, in particular: near the end of her twenty-minute speech, Sarah Palin told the audience that out on the hustings one comment from supporters has dominated, in frequency, all others: tell people about the real Barack Obama. She said this quietly, without drama. But: thunder, hoots, an ovation. It was the one real firework in her stump speech; yet from the cadence of the speech one could tell that it was not intended thus. Audiences know that standing up for one particular line in a political speech is reserved for positive lines-lines that honor someone, or declaim some principle, or express some affirmation, or promise some victory. Rarely are audiences moved to bolt from their chairs over a negative line. (They’re more likely to boo affectedly.) But Mr. Obama’s guile has created considerable resentment-so much, in fact, that even a flat recitation of his positions, with not a drought of oratorical flare, dazzles and refreshes and fires an audience.

Sarah Palin spent some time piquing the newsmedia, and thanks to a zealous tablemate who initiated them the New York Times earned decidedly unaffected boos from the Silicon Valley audience. But you understand that if the newsmedia were doing their job, it would not be enough for a political candidate merely to mention the opinions of her opponent. Some argument would be necessary. Not so, not so with Barack Obama. The free pass he has been given is felt-and felt widely. In the final analysis I suspect this will make the man’s candidacy weaker, not stronger. It leaves him vulnerable, qual piuma al vento, to a late-October truth-squad attack.

There was, otherwise, little new in the stump speech. It was the same one given yesterday in Southern California (photo above) and reported on by the Associated Press, which dribbled into its dispatch some surrogate outrage because Mrs. Palin mentioned Barack Obama’s relationship with a violent left-wing terrorist who once intrigued the bombing of the Pentagon. And portions of Mrs. Palin’s speech today were recycled from the Republican National Convention in St. Paul last month. That, at least, is a letdown: Barack Obama today had a fresh stump speech that made able parry to yesterday’s Palin event in the Los Angeles area. The McCain campaign is utterly unable to work as efficiently as that. But my sense was that few donors got that feeling: the excitation of Sarah Palin overshadowed easily any sense one might otherwise receive that the momentum is shifting away from John McCain.

And why not? The crowd of 25,000 she elicited yesterday is proof that Sarah Palin is attracting new voters. And today was further evidence of her effect: a ballroom flush with self-made men and women who, though accustomed to living the dreary life of a permanent political minority, now feel there’s someone for them, too. They see Sarah Palin as a political Ghostbuster singularly able, by dint of her background, her charm, and her cool, to suss out the spectrous Barack Obama, holding him up for everyone to see. She should, soon.

I rarely fisk Leftist ignorance but I will do so now because the article below is typical of the frantic self-congratulation that Leftists are trying to extract from the banking crisis. It relies heavily of course on a belief that empty assertion can replace the facts. A great combination of supreme self-confidence and supreme ignorance is excerpted below

OUR gaze might be on the markets melting down, but the upheaval we are experiencing is more than a financial crisis, however large. Here is a historic geopolitical shift, in which the balance of power in the world is being altered irrevocably. The era of American global leadership, reaching back to the Second World War, is over. [Yet it was America that the world looked to to solve the global banking crisis]

You can see it in the way America’s dominion has slipped away in its own backyard, with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez taunting and ridiculing the superpower with impunity. [Why should America be worried by a Chihuahua?]

The setback of America’s standing at the global level is even more striking. With the nationalisation of crucial parts of the financial system [All that is happening in the main is that some banks are taking over others. The big bank nationalization spree has been in Left-run Britain, where they have a history of that sort of thing], the American free-market creed has self-destructed while countries that retained overall control of markets have been vindicated. [So why are European banks in meltdown?]

In a change as far-reaching in its implications as the fall of the Soviet Union, an entire model of government and the economy has collapsed. Ever since the end of the Cold War, successive American administrations have lectured other countries on the necessity of sound finance. Indonesia, Thailand, Argentina and several African states endured severe cuts in spending and deep recessions as the price of aid from the International Monetary Fund, which enforced the American orthodoxy.

China, in particular, was hectored relentlessly on the weakness of its banking system. But China’s success has been based on its consistent contempt for Western advice and it is not Chinese banks that are going bust. [The Chinese banks are VERY shaky and have long been propped up by the Chinese government]

Despite incessantly urging other countries to adopt its way of doing business, America has always had one economic policy for itself and another for the rest of the world. Throughout the years in which the US was punishing countries that departed from fiscal prudence, it was borrowing on a colossal scale to finance tax cuts and fund its overstretched military commitments. Now, with federal finances critically dependent on continuing large inflows of foreign capital, it will be the countries that spurned the American model of capitalism that will shape America’s economic future. [Like how?]

The dire condition of America’s financial markets is the result of American banks operating in a free-for-all environment A typically Leftist reversal of the truth. It is Congressional regulation preventing normal market operations that led to the problems] that these same American legislators who have been debating a bail-out created. It is America’s political class that, by embracing the dangerously simplistic ideology of deregulation, has responsibility for the mess.

In current circumstances, an unprecedented expansion of government [All that has happened is that the Feds have bought a huge gob of undervalued paper which they will in due course sell back to the market at a profit] is the only means of averting a market catastrophe. The consequence, however, will be that America will be even more starkly dependent on the world’s new rising powers. The federal government is racking up even larger borrowings, which its creditors may rightly fear will never be repaid. It may well be tempted to inflate these debts away in a surge of inflation that would leave foreign investors with hefty losses….

There has been a good deal of talk in recent weeks about imminent economic armageddon. In fact, this is far from being the end of capitalism. The frantic scrambling in Washington marks the passing of only one type of capitalism - the peculiar and highly unstable variety that has existed in America over the past 20 years. This experiment in financial laissez-faire [Heavy and stupid regulation = laissez faire?] has imploded. While the impact of the collapse will be felt everywhere, the market economies that resisted American-style deregulation will best weather the storm….. Yadda, yadda, yadda

I wonder if the BBC intentionally encapsulated the Barry campaign in two paragraphs

So, go and attack McCain over something he was exonerated over, then complain that McCain is attacking him. Barry’s skin is so thin that if you prick him, you will probably be touching bone marrow. And that accusation of running a smear camp isn’t just something Barry has done in the past: it occured again Sunday

And as part of the same speech given by Mr. Teleprompter

Issues like character, leadership, and judgement apparently no longer matter to Obama, at least not when they should his complete lack of any of those three.

After 8 years of listening to the massive whining from Democrats and their supporters about Bush having stolen the 2000 election, calling him the pResident, then claiming the GOP stole the 2004 election, issues that have never stopped being a cause to make Liberals wacko, we get this from Cynthia Tucker at the Baltimore Sun (she is also the editorial page editor for the Atlanta Democrat Journal-Constitution)

Are you snickering and chuckling right now? Democrats whined beyond belief about fraud, all the while registering the homeless, foreigners, illegal aliens, pets, dead pets, dead people, and felons, not to mention registering to vote in multiple states. This is a central point in many liberals’ world, with tons of threads at the Democratic Underground, Brad Blog, Daily Kos, etc. The Democrat Party, the Kerry camp, and now the Obama camp deployed massive amounts of lawyers all over the country because they were worried about cheating. But, hey, it is a GOP only issue, you know.

Plus, we got a Karl Rove and Saddam Hussein mention!

All the GOP has tried to do is respond to the whining by Democrats, as well as the reality of the real voter fraud perpatraded by Democrats, with common sense. Having to show an ID is apparently completely out of bound for the Democrats, which should let you know what’s in their heads. The Supreme Court has upheld needing ID to vote, BTW, Cynthia.

Ah, but meanwhile, let’s hear from someone who know a bit better then an editorial writer,

The article itself is written by John Fund, who wrote “Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy.” I reckon he knows a bit on the subject.

And, what Cynthia missed was that the Baltimore Sun just ran an editorial called “Voter Beware” on the issue of fraud, which a reader took issue with, since it didn’t bother to mention ACORN.

And I guess she missed this

and

Nothing to see, move along. But, heck, in Democrat World, having a split ballot is almost voter fraud. It certainly is an issue to the Democrats, when, as we saw in Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004, Democrat voters are just not smart enough to follow directions in filling the ballots out.

Oh, BTW, Democrats have controlled both branches of Congress since 2007, and had control of the Senate till january 2003. What have they done to help reduce fraud? It’ll never go away, nor will the dirty tricks, that is part of politics.

So, instead of merely reporting the news, now reporters are the news? Apparently Charlie Gibson thinks he is, anyway. He gave an interview to the Toledo Blade on October 5 as if his opinions of the race for the White House are somehow more important than the news of the candidates. You remember the candidates, don’t you Chuck? You know, those guys who are actually going to be elected, the ones that you are supposed to be reporting on?

Gibson spoke to the Toledo Blade’s TV beat reporter Kirk Baird about an upcoming visit to Ohio’s Bowling Green State University and he said a few pretty revealing things to the Blade about how the media are treating the campaign.

Like many of his ilk, he appears in this interview to show a disdain for small town America, he obviously pretends not to see any bias among his comrades, he excuses that bias he does see and interestingly he claimed it was the duty of the media to “expose” Sarah Palin — an interesting choice of words, for sure.

Gibson will be in Ohio for an ABC spectacle this coming week where they will arrange to discuss the next debate with what they are to claiming to be an “independent” group of Bowling Green University students. But, Gibson takes pains to say that Obama has “energized” students even as he claims they will speak to some that are for McCain.

Gibson begged off answering any of Baird’s direct questions about his impression of Sarah Palin, but Gibson did take a swipe at her community in a subtle way. In discussing his Palin interview, after inarticulately saying, “there was a great deal of interest in it. It was interesting that there was so much interest in it,” Gibson seemed to take a cosmopolitan’s jab at the “surreal” Fairbanks, Alaska.

What makes it all so surreal? Has Gibson never interviewed an important person before? It seems clear that what was “surreal” to Gibson was that he was forced to go to what he must consider a godforsaken, barren spot that “doesn’t have a very large population.” Otherwise, what was so surreal about doing the same job he’s done for decades?

To a question about being a moderator for debates, Gibson went into a long, drawn out explanation of the timing that the moderators use to govern the debates that was of little interest. But Gibson went on to say that he felt VP debate moderator and known Obamaphile Gwen Ifill, is a “very fair human being.” Apparently he didn’t really watch the debates to notice the “F” Ifill easily earned as the moderator. Obviously he sees nothing wrong with being completely in the corner of one side as a debate moderator, doesn’t think it will call into question that moderator’s fairness.

But, Gibson’s last bit was the most revealing of the interview. To a question on media bias Gibson replied:

Since when has the media made sure “the coverage balances out”? Obama has gotten far and away more and more positive coverage than has McCain. And, I found his choice of words on how they were handling Governor Palin quite revealing. Maybe it was a sort of Freudian slip, but his choice of words, “it’s important to expose her,” was interesting, to say the least.

As Gibson has repeatedly proven during his career, “fairness” isn’t necessarily high on his list of important goals for which to strive.

Government workers from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania have been finding unwelcome visitors at the doorsteps since mid-August. Union organizers from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) mysteriously found themselves in possession of the home addresses of every government worker in the county. This is, of course, illegal… yet, magically, the SEIU has the contact info anyway.

Naturally, every department head in the county is saying their agency is innocent of leaking the information. But, regardless who which inside operative of the union was helping them, it is not legal for the union to accept such information. The law states that only if the union receives a 30-percent yea vote for unionization is such information supposed to be provided to the union.

Commissioners’ Chairman Jim Matthews, Montgomery County Chief Deputy Solicitor and acting Human Resources Director Carolyn Carluccio, and Commissioner Joe Hoeffel all deny that they had anything to do with leaking the info, but some suspect Hoeffel, a Democrat that is a big union supporter.

Commissioner Bruce Castor (R) said he wanted to conduct an investigation into the matter, but despaired that it would do much good.

Apparently, the only way a true investigation will happen is if a worker sues because of the invasion of privacy. So, it appears another criminal action by a union thug will go unpunished.

No wonder union thugs act with such impunity.

Hey! We just passed the 3 million mark on sitemeter! Thanks to all of our regular readers. It took us more than three years, but we are growing faster and faster. Thanks so much for the continued support!

We started the blog on February 9, 2005, and we moved it from blogger to its .com domain six months after that. Here is the first post on our .com site, back when the ACLU volunteers protesting border control were toking it up!

This would spell big trouble for the Obama camp if the media were not so much in the tank. Regardless, it spells trouble.

More:

It looks like it could be massive fraud, Atlas Shrugs breaks out the spreadsheets. Contributors with names like HDUSAHFD and HKVKV, no doubt they are probably registered voters through ACORN as well. Lots of things about this smell fishy, the RNC just might get something on the hook here.

Obama’s unbreakable friendship with the unrepentant, America hating terrorist William Ayers of the Weather Underground is probably one of the most important things America needs to know about Barack before voting day. The media have done well in pretending this is not an issue, and acting as if this does not bring serious questions about Obama’s judgment. The media want this controversial relationship to be swept under the rug.

Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, finally played the Ayers card. CNN were quick to the defense in what they had the gall to call a “fact check”.

Of course CNN ignores the entire point. Obama had a long history and friendship with Ayers, and still refuses to repudiate this friendship. The point is not whether Ayers is involved in terrorist activity today, but that he remains proud of his past terrorist activities and believes they were not enough. This reflects a character that hates America to its core, and has displayed this hatred on a magazine cover stomping the American flag back in 2001, the same time Obama served on the Woods Fund with him. Obama’s insistence to remain friends with someone of such radical character reflects poorly on Obama’s judgment and his own character. This is the point the media are trying to ignore. Furthermore, there is a long list of radical friends and associates that Obama has and still does keep company with. There is a pattern of repetitive poor judgment that exposes bad character the media want ignored.

Meanwhile, despite Ayers posing for a magazine by stomping on the American flag as recent as 2001, ABC have headlined him as a “former radical”. However, Ayers has never renounced his past actions, and has said he wished he would have done more. There is nothing “former” about his radicalism.

Meanwhile, the AP have pulled the race card out in defense, claiming that Palin’s words carry some kind of racial tinge. The facts are out there, but of course the media can’t be bothered with facts when there is an agenda to follow.

Congressman Robert Aderholt Republican from Alabama voted against the financial bail out bill both times it was presented in the House. Part of the reason he gave for his vote was the overwhelming majority of his constituents were opposed to the bill. Upon learning he had dared to listen to his constituents the left leaning Decatur Daily blasted him in an editorial, suggesting constituents opinions should NOT be a consideration in his decision on how to vote !

What kind of nation would we have if all those elected officials in Washington stopped listening to, nor valued the opinion of those who elected them and sent them there to represent and be their voice in OUR government ? I must admit, far too many have done just that ! If more Congressmen and Senators were listening to and in closer harmony with their constituents the bail out bill would have failed miserably. Even more importantly, it would have never been necessary to consider it in the first place. Had the House and the Senate been doing their job, had they been listening to their constituents and placing value on their opinions they would have never allowed the reckless, greedy behavior of Wall Street and the out of control sub-prime lending mess.

The American Citizens are collectively very intelligent and wise. Collectively far wiser than any individual or group. The problem, as I see it is one of a failure to listen to constituents! My hat is off to Congressman Aderholt !

Get your hankies out

Got that? It is not Guerrero’s fault for coming to the US illegally, for sticking around and starting a family, then getting caught in Mexico. No, it is the fault of the notaries.

You know, I am not completely unsympathetic to the plight of these illegals with families, not that many of them come to the USA looking for work and a better life. But, stories like this one does not endear the illegals to the American population. Matter of fact, stories like this one probably have the opposite effect, where the reader goes “ta hell with them, they should have come here legally.” Maybe if the sob stories were put aside, if the illegals learned English and tried to fit into the American culture, rather then remaining separate, this backlash might not have occurred.
