the audacity of hype
Thomas Sowell has a great piece up on “Change in Politics” -regarding Obama and why the “change” rhetoric is merely repeating the failures of FDR regarding the economy, but points out that at least FDR had the sense to be strong on national security.
Obama doesn’t have FDR’s sense, although he shares the love for social programs.
Obama’s minions have been busy creating obfuscations regarding Sarah Palin, which is a good sign. LGF pointed out the connection to “Fight the Smears” and anti-Palin websites, which seems to indicate that “fightint the smears” involves inventing smears against political opponents. Their hysteria has involved a number of insults to McCain, as well.
Obama doesn’t have any women in his organization, he didn’t chose a woman as veep, but what his campaign has been fighting for was to prevent Hillary Clinton from getting into the Oval office, and now to prevent another woman from having a role in this, -Sarah Palin.–with women’s votes.
The Obamanazis have been searching for a picture of Sarah Palin in a bikini. Why they think that would be disparaging, I don’t know - she was formerly at one time Miss Alaska; a beauty queen. But as see-dubya has pointed out, they tried that same bikini schtick with Michelle Malkin, and it didn’t work.
But they don’t realize that their disgusting ploys rarely work; it just goes to show that they’re bereft of class and civility.
Take a look at this post again and notice how many insults there are in it - without a shred of evidence or fact; it’s complete spin!
Mooseburgers for Everyone to Celebrate Palin, McCain’s VP Pick!
By Tracy DC ☮DC T☮ YesWeDid - Aug 30th, 2008McCain chooses Sarah Palin for VP spot (after meeting her once) to woo disgruntled Hillraisers, to get financial support from his heretofore unexcited conservative base who was gonna vote for him anyway, as an attempt to reignite his fading image as a maverick, and because he fantasizes what the former beauty queen looks like when the hair comes down and the glasses come off.
That part about the hair coming down and the glasses coming off has been edited out if you go there now. The depiction of conservatives’ being disgusted with McCain up until this point, though, is completely true. But it’s about the only shred of truth in this blog posting at myobama.com
Moreover, I’m sure McCain is trying to figure out if she can be paid less for being a VP than his other strung-along would-be male picks since he’s against equal pay for women. The above must be the reasons since Palin’s experience does not qualify her to potentially be a heartbeat away from being the Leader of the Free World, even more troubling, when you consider whose 72 year old little off beat heart we’re talkin’ about, here.
He’s against equal pay for women - what? Where’s the proof of this? Palin’s experience is similar to that of Obama’s in years, and if you’re going to compare the two and call Palin inexperienced, then you’ll have to admit that Obama is, too. In fact, Obama’s veep choice Joe Biden, demonstrates Obama’s insecurity on the ‘experience’ issue, but also demonstrates that Obama is about politics as usual because Biden has a breathtaking 30 year career in the Senate - having accomplished a number of things during that period which are hardly items to brag about - such as defending the agents that murdered the people at Waco and a young boy, Sam Weaver. and a young mother holding her baby at Ruby Ridge, Vicki Weaver.
All this while completely disregarding Cindy McCain who is very accomplished in her own right, this person depicts McCain as a man who would not treat Palin equally, despite the fact that McCain - not Obama - chose a young woman running mate. Obama was fighting Hillary, and now he’ll be attempting to use women’s votes against Palin. Democrats don’t REALLY believe in ‘equality’ that’s why they have different rules for different groups. And the attack on Palin’s experience reflects this individual’s disconnect from reality, since although Palin’s inexperience is comparable to Obama’s, she has 7 years of executive experience, and being the governor of a state that is flanked by two foreign countries, Canada on the one side and Russia on the other. So she has an awareness of the threat that Russia poses moreso than Biden or Obama, despite Biden’s 30 years of politics as usual. That’s not to mention Biden being a barrel of gaffes. (Recall “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” and “I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” )
They’re making points for the other side with this stuff.
To end on a positive note with regard to Palin, you can’t deny her superwoman status–three days after giving birth to her son with Down Syndrome (now 5 months), she was back in the office trying to make sure that polar bears aren’t considered an endangered species, that BIG OIL rules, that incest and rape victims do not have a right to abortion, and that creationism will be taught in school, that is, if one can’t home-school.
No worries about missing dinner for her big family of 7, she’s got that handled too. She’s a moose hunter and has enough frozen microwavable mooseburgers to feed an army stored up for a year! Can’t wait to debate her myself!
quite a bit of stereotyping going on there, heh?
Polar bears are not an endangered species. Palin is not about “big oil” but about energy alternatives. Taking our dependence off of foreign oil is something we should be actively seeking - and of course we won’t see the benefits of doing it for at least 5 years; that’s a given. We should also take proactive measures in order to activate dormant refineries.
How many incest and rape victims are impregnated by rape? She should examine her statistics. And what is wrong with creationism being taught in schools when there is no evidence of evolution in the fossil record, and evolution has never been witnessed? There is certainly more evidence for creation than there is for evolution; what that individual is doing is railing against Christianity as most ’scientific’ socialists do. The problem is when you look at the science, science backs up the biblical version of how the earth came into being; and is extremely scientific.
I would look forward to Palin debating this moonbat, that post demonstrates how moonbattery involves no rational thought.
Incidentally, all the talking ponts she brought up are out of an email that came from moveon.org:
- She was elected Alaska ’s governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1
- Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2
- She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000.3
- Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools. 4
- She’s doesn’t think humans are the cause of climate change. 5
- She’s solidly in line with John McCain’s “Big Oil first” energy policy. She’s pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won’t be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6 7 8 9
- How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.10
Notice how many times moveon.org gives references to itself as proof. Although they’re citing outside articles, I think it’s rather funny.
As a commenter said in my comments section–at Obama rallies, they’re yelling O-ba-ma! And at McCain rallies, they’re chanting U-S-A! That’s about all you need to know about the two campaigns; one is to coronate a socialist dictator, the other is for service to our country. One is for strangling the taxpayer with blinding taxation, the other is for cutting the pork and special interests and returning us to representative government.
Should that happen, I can see the ancient carreers of people such as Dick Durbin and Joe Biden going by the wayside. I’d like to see a change in the rules for representatives - in that they have limited terms, and would not be allowed to behave as though they’ve been given a lifetime appointment.
Sarah Palin is about REAL CHANGE. She’s fought for it within her own party. She represents all that is good, and is a mother of five children, a lifetime NRA member, hunts and fishes, and loves moose stew.
She is refreshing and as Uncle Jack said in this post, Palin is turning the conservative base who was formerly disgusted by McCain, –around to voting for him.

Cristi Adkins is the co-founder of Clintons4McCain…and it seems the Obamabots are attacking her greatly after attempting to get this information out on MSN.
What’s up with the flak?
Think it’s time we help her out a bit…

Does dual citizenship (Indonesia Citizenship by Obama at early childhood age) mean Obama is not eligible for Presidency?
Saw the AP document where is father enrolled him as a muslim under name Barry Sotoroes (SP?>) in Indosian school…it is on Texas Darling
August 31st, 2008 at 6:17 pm
There are a lot of legal questions that Phil Berg hoped to have answered when he filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania in the attempt to get answers to the question; Is Barack Obama eligible to run?
I don’t think he is.
I think his real name may in fact be Barry Soetoro; and if that is true, what is the name on his driver’s license, his degrees, etc.?
There is a glaring conflict of interest for someone who holds dual or triple citizenship; and I don’t think anybody in history has had the balls to run who had this cloud of controversy over him.
There is a strong indication that he’s both a Kenyan citizen and an Indonesian AND claims to be a US citizen.
He’s not natural-born, and there is a lot of controversy over that birth certificate and the information on it…
IT appears as though KOS put up a FAKE or FORGERY trying to explain it all away.
Lots of questions still remain.

Mc Cain was born out of the country, Panama canal zone I beleive, sooooooooo, what I want to know if most conservative Republicans are Christian, and that means they beleive in Christ, and Christ was very much a social refromer and social activist, why are Republicans so against social reform, doesn’t that kind of negate what Christ was all about, and just to let you know Christ did not stand for any country, kind of blows you guys’ whole platfrom doesn’t it, just a thought to wrap your minds around.
September 8th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
McCain was borne of two American citizen parents. John McCain was born in 1936 at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, Panama, to naval officer John S. McCain, Jr. (1911–1981) and Roberta (Wright) McCain (b. 1912).[3] At that time, the Panama Canal was under American control.
There’s a vast difference between McCain being born legitimately and Obama being born - we don’t know where, as a ******* child between a man who never divorced his wife in Kenya, and an 18-year-old girl. There was no marriage certificate, and his birth certificate is in question, which is why there were court papers filed in Pennsylvania that question his eligibility to run for president. He was, in fact, registered in Indonesia as an Indonesian muslim named Barry Soetoro. Did he change his name? We don’t know enough details about this man; and he has been less than straight-forward about what we DO know…and seems to defy people asking questions rather than simply answering them.
Next, Christ was not a social activist, he didn’t advocate socialism, and he was not a reformer; he was fulfilling prophecy; and opening the age of Grace; not ‘reforming’ anything.
Republicans are against socialism and communism, our fight against communism defined us during the Cold War and before that.
Socialism/communism advocates government theft, and theft is not a Christian principle.
Christians and republicans give more to the needy out of their own pockets because they have a loving heart.
I refer you to this article; why socialists don’t understand capitalism
Most countries are socialist dictatorships, which kind of takes the wind out of your stupid argument, now, doesn’t it?
Marxism is not compatible with true Christianity; and America is the only Judeo-Christian nation in the world that built its laws on the mosaic law. (Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, thou shalt not commit adultery, etc.)
In Jesus Christ only can man can find the answer to his problems and not in liberation theology or in any kind of materiallistic humanist philosophies. It is the relationship between God and Man and the relationships we have between one another that are important and not the way we redistribute wealth.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ calls for mercy, compassion, Justice, and truth in whatever we do. Socially, we are to conform to the Gospel’s values, which is what our founders sought for a civil society, which is why they promoted the Bible as a school book; in fact, it was a school book until the 60’s.
Conforming to the values in the Bible is only possible through correct relationships between God and man and between men one another as revealed in the bible and through the passion and ressurection of Christ, and not through a theology which does not care for the relationship of man with God, ie,liberation theology.
