Hmm....
I need to go back and do some research. In the back of my mind, I keep thinking this guy could be the AntiChrist.

Well Dwaine, you better hope he isn't because come January, this socialist bigot will be the next President.
I'm still voting for McCain, but unless I'm missing something, this country thinks that a friend of terrorists, a socialist, a radical activist, a bigot, a liar, a spend and tax political hack is going to "Bring Change".
He sure will.

George Orwell got his dates wrong, but everything else seems to be pretty much on track. His Newspeak introduced us to "Ingsoc," which meant English Socialism. Now I think it won't be too long before we see "Amsoc."

Secret Service finds zilcho evidence of "Kill them" claim at Palin rally
The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.
The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Oabama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him.”
News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.
He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton.
Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell “kill him.”
“We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.”

More Youth performances for Obama
CO2Hog sent this video from the Obama youth march on Sunday:
Here's another video of singing to Dear Leader.

Song: The McCain-Palin Tradition
Our colleagues at Across the Pond have been doing a roundup of their favourite election songs.
Here's another contender for best-worst song thus far. After all, kudos has to be given to anyone who can get 'left wing liberal media' to scan. Which is precisely what Hank Williams Jr. does in The McCain-Palin tradition.
But my favourite lyrics? These lines about Palin:
Like a mama bear in Idaho / She'll protect your family's condition / If you mess with her cubs / She's gonna take off the gloves / It's an American female tradition

Falling oil prices may lead to Obama desperation
However, one aspect of low oil prices has not received much attention. Barack Obama plans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars if elected President on a wide range of government initiatives. He claims to have the resources to spend that money responsibly, in part by imposing windfall-profits taxes on Big Oil.
That option seems off the table now. The “windfall profits” tax — always a bit of a misnomer, since the average margin for American oil companies has been around a modest 8% — can’t get applied when the supposed windfall disappears. Obama can’t redistribute wealth that doesn’t exist.
So now how does Obama pay for all of these programs, if elected President? Taxing the rich won’t generate the kind of money he envisions in his ambitious, big-government spending spree. Even if a capital-gains tax-rate hike actually produced more revenue, one would have to have capital gains in order to pay the tax. After the debacle this year on the markets and in the real-estate industry, Obama won’t be seeing those kinds of revenues for years.
Either Obama will have to cancel these big-spending proposals, or he will have to impose big tax hikes on the middle class. Even if Obama closed the Department of Defense, he couldn’t pay for the bailout package and the massive new spending he’s proposed, especially not without the hundreds of billions he predicted he would get from a windfall-profits tax on oil companies.
Obama has another option. He could act in such a manner as to make the price of oil skyrocket again in order to claim those windfall-profits taxes. It would produce massive stagflation in the midst of a recession and would benefit the Russians and Iranians most, but it would produce on paper the conditions Obama would need to impose his taxes and his spending programs.

Imagine what could happen if colleges taught the truth about Communism
Communism and the Cold War has been my area of research for years. I've written books on the subject. I lecture on the subject at Grove City College and around the country. The book I'm currently researching with Peter Schweizer is a Cold War book, which, ironically, inevitably brought us into contact with Marxist characters who allied with and even mentored Barack Obama.
Of all the lectures that I do around the country, none seem to rivet the audience as much as my discourse on the horrors of communism. In these lectures, which are usually connected to my books on Ronald Reagan, I do a 10-15 minute backgrounder on the crimes of communists-from their militant attacks on private property, on members of all religious faiths, and on basic civil liberties, to their total death toll of over 100 million bloodied, emaciated corpses in the 20th century.
As I do these presentations, the young people, especially on college campuses, are locked in, amazed at what they are hearing. I think they are especially struck that I always ground every fact and figure in reliable research and authorities -- books published by Harvard University Press and Yale University Press, quotes from the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev and Vaclav Havel and Alexander Yakovlev, anti-Soviet appraisals from certain Cold War Democrats like Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy and even early liberals like Woodrow Wilson. I rarely use right-wing sources because I don't want the professors of these students to be able to later shoot a single hole in my presentation -- a potential tactic to undermine the overall thesis.
And speaking of those professors, that gets to my point here: As the young people in my audience are fully engaged, hands in the air with question after question -- obviously hearing all of these things for the first time in their lives, from K-12 to college, as they are eager to inform me after my talk -- the professors often stare at me with contempt. In one case, a British professor, who could not stop sighing, squirming, and rolling her eyes as I quoted the most heinous assessments of religion by Marx and Lenin, got up and stormed out of the room.
When the leftists of the ‘60s took over higher education and the media, they really knew what they were doing. This was brilliant, masterful, a tactical slam-dunk, a tremendous coup for them and their worldview, with ripple effects we can scarcely imagine.

I have a suggestion for Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and other voices of the Resistance. When the Obama Regime implements the Fairness Doctrine, they should comply by devoting one hour of their program to reading the comments and posts on left-wing blogs like Kos, D.U.M.B., Firedoglake, Pandagon, and HuffPo. They could call it, 'The Fairness Hour.'

Obama: "Sexuality is Sacred".
This is actually a strain of thought from Wiccan and Pagan belief. "As each person is an aspect of the gods, whether male or female, our sexuality is sacred, however we manifest it."
"However we manifest it," would probably include what goes on at Folsom Street, right?

The 2 moonbats posting on this thread are a classic example of how criticizing Obama for his leftist politics is defined as "hate". Next will come "thought crimes". Anyone voicing any opposition to Obama will branded a hater and be sent off to be "re-educated" and to love Dear Leader Obama. Its fine for lefties refer to Bush as BUSHITLER, a Nazi and war criminal but dare to criticize Americas slide into hard core socialism and its like you deserve the death penalty - Obama groupies will just call it post-natal abortion.

It's not the moonbats fault. They drank the kool aid without realizing that they would be hopelessly mentally impaired.

The poor moonbats are so far gone that logic, reason, and yes, even sanity are out the window. I truly think Obama could've taken satan as his veep choice and it wouldn't sway them. You cannot have a rational conversation with them.
Point out anything remotely negative about Obama-ama-fee-fi-fo-ama and just watch as their eyes glaze over. Even the crap Obama doesn't deny, they will, vociferously.
If any libtards need the definitions of the big words, let me know and I'll post them.

"Many of those involved said how much they wish the movie was coming out this Christmas as had been originally planned, and even Quinto -- who audiences still best know as Sylar in the NBC series "Heroes" -- felt it was something that could really appeal to Democrats in the upcoming election. "This is a franchise that offers hope for unity -- and so does Barack Obama," said Quinto, who has made no secret that he supports the Illinois senator in his campaign against Republican nominee John McCain. "When this movie comes out, and Obama is president, hopefully there will be some parallels."

"Last week, the RTS stock exchange suffered its worst trading day on record, plunging 19 percent. The markets were hit after oil prices — the backbone of Russia's economy — slid heavily amid mounting concerns over the global economic meltdown.
But in Russia, it didn't even make the evening news on the three state-controlled channels.
Instead, they aired a meeting between President Dmitry Medvedev and one of the country's richest billionaires, Mikhail Fridman, in which the two discussed the investment opportunities created by the global crisis.
Vladimir Varfolomeyev, first deputy editor at Ekho Moskvy radio, wrote in his blog that the Kremlin recently sent an order to all broadcasters banning the words "collapse" and "crisis." The word "fall," the memo said, should be substituted with "decline." His blog promptly went down.
Meanwhile, a memo circulated at the state-run ITAR-Tass news agency reportedly advised reporters not to publish "provocative reports that can cause panic."
"We're requesting you to STOP covering queues at banks and a shortage of banking funds," said the memo, circulated by several respected bloggers."
