Redefining Manly in the New Millennium: The Transition to Soft Obamasexuals By Clay Bowler
Is the millennial male drinking too much soy milk, full of estrogen, because it’s hip, tricked into believing it’s better for the environment, or because some health guru told them to? Does it even matter? I sense Paula Cole’s disappointment in Cowboys after Brokeback Mountain. What became of real men? Did the Y2K bug trick computers to redefine men and the calendar bug only a deception as software transformed the John Waynes and the Marlboro men of the United States into femme metrosexuals?
The 99 Most Memorable, Interesting and Outrageous Political Quotes of 2008 By David M. Huntwork
The year 2008 was politically the most exciting and unusual in a generation. It hosted a long, divisive and drama filled campaign season that featured the rapid rise and fall of Rudy Guiliani, Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee, the unlikely rise of John McCain and Barack Obama, and the eventual bitter defeat of Hillary Clinton.
Goebbels, Paterson, Obama and the eternal lie By Dr. Ellis Washington
Why are the usually animated New Yorkers not protesting Paterson’s draconian tax increases in Albany and Manhattan, especially during these dire economic times? Yes, ignorance and apathy have a role – people don’t know that their fundamental constitutional rights to what Jefferson called “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” are being stolen right out from under them by devious politicians like Gov. Paterson and the Democrat Machine. And yes, people have become apathetic or indifferent to the endless machinations of dishonest politicians.
Change That Is Not Change… And Iran By J.D. Longstreet
Well, now. Isn’t this interesting! Obama’s change is not exactly the change many on the political left had expected of him. Some on the left are even claiming that Obama’s foreign policy, what little we know of it yet, is akin to that of George Bush’s father, George H. W. Bush. Obama has drawn counsel from many in Scowcroft’s circle, and Gates himself was deputy national security adviser under Scowcroft.” You may read the entire article here.
Creating A Constitutional Crisis The Obama Way By J.D. Longstreet
When it first began it seemed nothing more than a trifling matter, which was destined to be quashed in a few days never to be heard of again. Now, however, it has taken on a life of it’s own and is growing, it seems, exponentially each day. The question of whether, or not, Mr. Obama is eligible to be President of the US is snowballing into what could become another constitutional crisis for the US.
Putin -vs- Obama. My Money Is On Putin By J.D. Longstreet
Obama announces his starting line-up and the Russians announce they are going to upgrade their missiles.
Why, don’t they know everything has changed? Don’t they understand that when Obama speaks the winds still and the seas calm and there is peace everywhere? Don’t they get it?
Ready for the Great Negotiation? You better be! By Jim Camp
The November 24 cover of Time magazine pictured President-elect Barack Obama as the reincarnation of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It is an image of strength and hope. An image of a future filled with enthusiasm, intelligence and leadership.
To many it seems as though the mainstream media’s adulation of the incoming President might be overboard causing a Washington Post media reporter to write on November 17 that “we seem to have crossed a cultural line into mythmaking.”
Military Ballots Remain Problem For 2008 Congressional Seats By Diane M. Grassi
“At a time when these young people are defending our country and its free institutions, the least we at home can do is to make sure that they are able to enjoy the rights they are being asked to fight to preserve.”
These words were penned to members of the United States Congress during the Korean War when then President Harry S. Truman was expressing his discontent that the votes of active duty soldiers in theater overseas were in jeopardy of their votes not being counted in the Presidential election of 1952.
I Dream, You Lead By Clay Bowler
If anyone had any doubt that Barack Obama was just clever packaging delivered with a few catchphrases, those doubts should be erased. The insight he shared about himself during his day before Thanksgiving press conference proved everything that I have known about him to be correct. From W.E.B. DuBois veil to Martin Luther King’s Dream, black leadership has been dependent on symbolism. During the campaign, symbolism over substance directed the Obama campaign to victory.
America’s Group Hug About to End By J.D. Longstreet
As I watch, read, and listen to the MsM report the news of Obama’s selection of those people he wants to serve in his administration, it occurred to me that the change he had promised was simply a “change… back” to the Clinton Administration (… or something very much like it!).
Obama: Fear and the Security Force By Guest
In all my life I have never seen such intense emotion surrounding a leader as that evoked by Barack Obama. Even Ronald Reagan, the Gipper himself, didn’t enjoy the kind of prostration of the will offered to the president-elect by hordes of followers. Yet, while people the world over are imbued with “hope” and chant Obama’s slogan “Yes, we can!” – for instance, the French are using their translation of it, “Oui, nous pouvons!” – some of the intense emotion is of a very different species.
This is Unification from the Left? By Clay Bowler
Barack Obama primary message throughout the campaign was hope and change through unifying America. Unity is another Obama pathos-based message, and by no means does the message of unity create a great leaders. Great leaders exhibit real leadership and unifys through the opportunities presented.
Obama and Hole-Digging Rule Number One By J.D. Longstreet
As the Obama brigade prepares the stage for the almost immediate turnaround of all things wrong with America under a Bush Administration, some very scary reports of Obama meeting with some of America’s enemies are leaking out. News of occurrences we suspected, but were not allowed to ask about, lest we be shouted down by the Obama legions in the American press and the world press or, as we like to refer to them, the Mainstream Media, is finally leaking out.
Liberal Media ‘Elected’ America’s First Marxist President By Guest
America’s liberal media – led by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the New York Times, Time magazine and hundreds of other newspapers, magazines and TV channels – supported and endorsed Barak Hussein Obama, a one-term Senator in the United States Congress.
The mainstream media, with the exception of the Fox News channel, ignored a genuine war hero – U.S. Navy Captain (Ret.) John McCain, who served in the U.S. Senate for several decades. In a word: EXPERIENCE!
Obama and the virtue of selfishness By Dr. Ellis Washington
Despite Obama’s Occidental, Columbia and Harvard pedigree, on economics he is totally devoted to and blinded by the Marxist propaganda he learned at those schools. Why? Because he studied at quintessential liberal academies where the lectures by his professors were less invitations to submit worthy opinions to the arena of ideas and more of an indoctrination factory.
While a huge crowd gathered By Marie Jon
While many good Americans were confused, I was not. For more than a year, political pundits had focused on Obama’s past political history, his choice of friends, and his quasi-Christian faith. His choice of Afrocentric Black liberation theology reinforced Obama’s disdain for America. He chose the theme of change and made it part of his ongoing mantra because it reflects his own political social agenda.
Obama and our coming constitutional crisis By Dr. Ellis Washington
Philip J. Berg, a Democratic operative and former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, has assumed the tragic role of Prometheus, ascended Mount Olympus, the abode of Zeus, and has launched a one-man campaign to force Obama to verify his U.S. citizenship by suing the senator, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, to verify that indeed he is worthy to be president of the United States by producing a real birth certificate.
Obama’s Praetorian Guard Or Another “SS” By J.D. Longstreet
The Praetorian Guard was a special force of household troops used by Roman Emperors. Augustus saw the need to establish a troop of soldiers loyal only to him. After Sejanus’ death the Guards became ambitious and began a deadly power play in the Empire. They assassinated emperors, bullied their own Prefects, and eventually turned on the people of Rome.
The Pivot Point in American History By J.D. Longstreet
When you cut through all the smoke and mirrors and hot air this election is about whether the US will continue to exist as a proud, free, nation, or slip into socialist slavery. When historians look back on this day, they will say it was the day, the point in history, which changed America. Will America remain free, or will America retreat and surrender to the forces of socialism? The choice is ours, America.
America at the Tipping Point By Alan Caruba
By Wednesday morning it is quite possible that the United States turn dramatically towards socialism in the conduct of its economy, its politics, and its culture. If Barack Obama is elected President a collectivist, failed system will be expanded. I anticipate a very ugly struggle to regain the gift of the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us.
An open letter to America’s African-American Community By Doug Edelman
Barack Obama enjoys almost monolithic support (around 90%) within the black community. Is this based on anything more than ethnic identity? Is it any less repugnant for the black community to embrace a candidate BECAUSE he’s black than it would be for the white community to OPPOSE a black candidate for the same reason? Isn’t it more appropriate to support one candidate or another based on the criteria of character, experience, policies and past performance?
Obama’s Socialist Roots Run Deep By Doug Edelman
Obama revealed a socialist agenda. “Spreading the Wealth” is his tax policy. (Conservatives view tax policy as a means to raise necessary revenue for necessary services. Liberals view tax policy as a means to raise necessary revenue, and to direct behavior. Socialists and Marxists view tax policy as a means to redistribute wealth and restructure society!) A large portion of Americans still find socialism distasteful.
America Needs Commander-In-Chief, Not ACORN Lawyer! By John Kakistos Lillpop
Everyone, saving perhaps the most outrageous racist, would agree that Barack Obama is a charming, articulate fellow.
In addition, with the exception of bigots, most Americans would like to elect an African-American to atone for slavery and 250 years of discrimination.
I Overestimated My Fellow Americans. By J.D. Longstreet
America has been slowly but surely headed toward a socialist government since FDR’s “New Deal.” In the 1960’s it was Lyndon Baines Johnson and the “Great Society”, and now, the crowning touch, Barack Hussein Obama and the… what…”Spread the Wealth Around” government?
Victory At Any Cost: ACORN, Voter Fraud, and Illegal Contributions By David M. Huntwork
Have you ever wondered about “community organizing” and the swarming “get out the vote” goon squads that the Left increasingly mobilizes for presidential elections? ACORN is one of the largest of these entities and has an extensive and long history with Barack Obama. It is one of the central players in the massive Democratic voter registration drives you’ve been hearing about over the last few months.
The Obama Commercial By Alan Caruba
Obama’s message and the theme of his campaign are those the Democrat Party has always used to acquire political power. They are the promises about tax cuts that mysteriously never occur once they are in office.
They are about protecting people from every kind of change that could harm them and they promise “change” as a government that will come to their aid in sickness, in their old age, to help their children attend better schools, to help them go to college, and on, and on, and on.
30Oct2008 | Alan Caruba | 0 comments | ContinuedFrench President: Obama Utterly Immature, Empty of Content! By John Kakistos Lillpop
Apparently Barack Obama’s hypnotic trace and mesmerizing witchcraft have failed to convince at least one thinking European that he is the “promised one,” come to lead the world into daylight after eight devastating years of fog under George W. Bush.
According to a story in Haaretz.com**, “French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama’s positions on Iran:
Christians, this election is not just about the economy By Marie Jon
Christians founded this nation, and they will either save it or let fall into the hands of a Socialist-Marxist and his minions. By refusing to vote for Sen. John McCain, Christians will bear a huge portion of responsibility for abandoning their nation in its time of greatest need.
Voting: Patriotic Act, Or Getting In Touch With One’s Inner Racist? By John Kakistos Lillpop
OBAMA’S AGENDA IS SO “GAY” By Guest
If Bill Clinton was the first black president, Barack Obama, if elected, will be the first “gay” president. No, I don’t mean he’ll personally decorate the West Wing, open a bathhouse in the Rose Garden or take up with Barney Frank. I mean he’ll be the most radically pro-homosexual, anti-family president in history. He’s very quietly pledged as much to the homosexual “Human Rights Campaign” and other fawning members of his homofascist fan club.
DON’T UNDERESTIMATE RACE AND TRUST IN CHOOSING A PRESIDENT By Guest
By: John David Powell
When historians look back on the 2008 U.S. presidential election, they may determine race and trust were the silent and deciding factors in the surprise election of John McCain. Those same historians may also conclude Barack Obama played a significant role in his own defeat by making race an issue and by eroding the trust of voters by refusing to place his faith in them.
Ruining America By Alan Caruba
George Washington warned against “factions” by which he meant political parties, but even in the earliest days of the new republic, the most natural of human inclinations was to band together with like-minded people to elect one’s preferred candidate to office.
Not Voting For Obama? Then, You’re Racist! By J.D. Longstreet
Somewhere, sometime, somehow, somebody began the awful accusation that not voting for Obama is an act of racism. Now, we like to think of our scribbling as “family oriented” so I cannot use the language I’d like to use to describe my disgust with anyone who would make such a statement.
