Congratulations Mr. President-elect!

Congratulations Mr. President-elect!

I am, of course, reluctant to accept that someone so different in political ideology from me has been elected to the highest post in the world.

However, as much as I decry an Obama presidency, I also celebrate this great nation. The people voted, the populace chose, the constitutionality of the Electoral College (even though not expedited yet), will be fulfilled. And a new leader of the free world, commander-in-chief, high executive has been called to service in the most peaceful transfer of governance of the greatest nation in the history of the world.

What’s more is that it IS an incredible testimony that an American of African ancestry has been elected… popularly and constitutionally.

And now that an African American has been chosen as the president-elect, there is no excuse for ANYONE of ANY race not to strive for the best this nation has to offer. There can be no circumstance preventing the pursuit, and not the gift, of happiness.

That holds value to me as a patriot.

So congratulations, Mr. President-elect!

However…

I still do not trust that he will not lead us into a path towards socialism and that is unacceptable.

I still believe that he will fulfill every radical promise he made as that far left guy campaigning during the primaries.

I still believe that he doesn’t truly grasp the accountability and responsibility that he has been chosen to undertake.

So congratulations, Mr. President-elect!

Now to my fellow conservatives and conservative wannabees:

We have no one to blame but ourselves. We failed to prevent a moderate candidate from gaining the nomination. We failed by letting moderates and liberals hijack the Republican Party. We failed by letting pop culture rule our society instead of truth. We failed by getting caught up in the hype of an obligatory candidate who really didn’t deserve it. We failed by letting the press and the GOP dictate to us who our candidate would be.

We failed conservatism and by doing that we have failed our country.

There are some of you who have said that it took a Jimmy Carter to get a Ronald Reagan. And even though the merits of that statement are reassuring to us in the hopes for the future, they mean nothing without conservatives willing to stand up and take action for that future. And they mean nothing if there isn’t anything left of this nation for a true conservative in the mold of Reagan to be nominated.

Conservatives have got to back up conservative words WITH conservative actions. Conservatives have got to vet, choose, nominate and elect conservatives to public office AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO THOSE CONSERVATIVE IDEALS AND VALUES for which they were elected.

The election this year started something WE have got to continue. AND GOOD RIDDANCE! Conservatives have got to vote out those RINOs and ConWans who are compromising our nation by trying to appease all people.

If we want someone in the mold of Ronald Reagan, we have to work hard to show that conservatism is in the nation’s best interest for all people.

We have to act like conservatives who are proud Americans. We have to work in and of ourselves to show our fellow Americans that personal responsibility and accountability ARE the pursuit of happiness.

Frankly, John McCain did not inspire that. Yes, he is known for reaching across the aisle. But that is the crime of conservatism compromised. McCain would compromise to the left. The thing that made Reagan a great president of unity was that the compromise involved him getting the other side to reach across the aisle to work with him.

McCain chose to play it safe in the hopes of reaching independents. He took the conservative vote for granted before and after Sarah Palin was chosen as his veep pick.

And no, Sarah Palin shoulders no blame for this loss. Although, I am sure she would certainly hold herself accountable. But she was what brought conservative back into the GOP campaign. She is not perfect, folks, and there were so many that held her to an even higher standard than perfection. When she had a minor blemish, it was portrayed as a gaping and festering wound. Palin is an everyday American woman who was thrust into the national spotlight. Her political rise is one that can be compared to John Adams or Harry Truman. In my humble opinion, that is good company!

So congratulations, Mr. President-elect! You are what the American people wanted. We’ll see how long that lasts. I will pray for you when I pray for this country. And one of my prayers will be that God preserve this nation in spite of your presidency.

Debate over Palin bash ad

It’s on the web. It’s an ad. So it must be factual, good and effective…right?




Did Sarah Palin ban any books or tell anyone what they could or couldn’t read? NOPE.

Does Sarah Palin want EVERYONE to have automatic guns?
NOPE. There is NO way she is FOR letting ANY and EVERYONE have a gun. Palin supports the right to bear arms and as a hunter and member of the NRA, she is a strong proponent of firearms education and their appropriate use.

Does God want us to die in Iraq?
NOPE. Here quote from a speech at a church in Wasilla Alaska states: “Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.” This is stating that her prayer is that we are following God’s will, not the God has a desire for us to die. Furthermore, she has a son fighting in Iraq.

Does Sarah Palin believe that everyone should believe the way she does regarding creation?
NOPE. In 2006, Palin indicated in a TV debate that creation should be taught alongside evolution in the state’s public schools.


As governor, did Sarah Palin ignore issues of protecting women and of rape in Alaska? NOPE. Although there was an issue put on hold due to the “troopergate” investigation, Palin pushed for and got an increase in the state budget for protecting women. While the rape rate is high, the statistic has been that way for years and not because Palin became governor.

Pro-life is a TRUTH & Pro-Choice is a LIE

The following mock debate is based on issues of morality. Notice how each stereotypical candidate answers, and then compare their answers to the real answer of our true political leaders.





And from our elected officials…

Nancy Pelosi:

She obviously didn’t check the bible about it and her understanding of the early church fathers is WAY off.

Joe Biden:

“Wikipedia” Joe forgot to check his facts as well.

Sarah Palin:


Barack Obama on Late Term Abortion:


McCain on Partial Birth Abortion:


Obama and McCain at Saddleback Church with Rick Warren:


Get the connection. Why do we champion the morality of issues like rape, incest, domestic abuse, etc. and yet we refuse to acknowledge that abortion is a moral issue that affects not only the mother but the life of the human being growing inside of her?

Now, check this clip where pro-life is proven to be factually TRUE!



If you vote for someone who is in favor of abortions and participates in pro-abortion legislation, you are just as guilty as those who choose and perform abortions.







Why is abortion the murder of a human being?

The following is from Scott Klusendorf


Pro-life advocates contend that elective abortion unjustly takes the life of a defenseless human being. This simplifies the abortion controversy by focusing public attention on just one question: Is the unborn a member of the human family? If so, killing him or her to benefit others is a serious moral wrong. It treats the distinct human being, with his or her own inherent moral worth, as nothing more than a disposable instrument. Conversely, if the unborn are not human, killing them for any reason requires no more justification than having a tooth pulled.

In other words, arguments based on “choice” or “privacy” miss the point entirely. Would anyone that you know support a mother killing her toddler in the name of “choice and who decides?” Clearly, if the unborn are human, like toddlers, we shouldn’t kill them in the name of choice anymore than we would a toddler. Again, this debate is about just one question: What is the unborn?

At this point, some of you may object that those comparisons are not fair—that killing a fetus is morally different than killing a toddler. Ah, but that’s the issue, isn’t it? Are the unborn, like toddlers, members of the human family? That is the one issue that matters.

We can be vigorously “pro-choice” when it comes to women choosing a number of moral goods. We can support a woman’s right to choose her own doctor, to choose her own husband, to choose her own job, and to choose her own religion, to name a few. These are among the many choices that we can and should fully support for women. But some choices are wrong; like killing innocent human beings simply because they are in the way and cannot defend themselves. No one should be allowed to choose that.

Scientifically, we know that from the earliest stages of development, the unborn are distinct, living, and whole human beings. Leading embryology books confirm this.

Philosophically, we can say that embryos are less developed than newborns (or, for that matter, toddlers) but this difference is not morally significant in the way abortion advocates need it to be.

Consider the claim that the immediate capacity for self-awareness bestows value on human beings. Notice that this is not an argument, but an arbitrary assertion. Why is some development needed? And why is this particular degree of development (i.e., higher brain function) decisive rather than another? These are questions that abortion advocates do not adequately address.

Put simply, there is no morally significant difference between the embryo you once were and the adult you are today. Differences of size, level of development, environment, and degree of dependency are not relevant such that we can say that you had no rights as an embryo but you do have rights today.

SIZE: True, embryos are smaller than newborns and adults, but why is that relevant? Do we really want to say that large people are more human than small ones? Men are generally larger than women, but that doesn’t mean that they deserve more rights. Size doesn’t equal value.

LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT: True, embryos and fetuses are less developed than adults. But again, why is this relevant? Four year-old girls are less developed than 14 year-old ones. Should older children have more rights than their younger siblings? Some people say that self-awareness makes one human. But if that is true, newborns do not qualify as valuable human beings. Six-week old infants lack the immediate capacity for performing human mental functions, as do the reversibly comatose, the sleeping, and those with Alzheimer’s Disease.

ENVIRONMENT: Where you are has no bearing on who you are. Does your value change when you cross the street or roll over in bed? If not, how can a journey of eight inches down the birth-canal suddenly change the essential nature of the unborn from non-human to human? If the unborn are not already human, merely changing their location can’t make them valuable.

DEGREE OF DEPENDENCY: If viability makes us human, then all those who depend on insulin or kidney medication are not valuable and we may kill them. Conjoined twins who share blood type and bodily systems also have no right to life.

In short, it’s far more reasonable to argue that although humans differ immensely with respect to talents, accomplishments, and degrees of development, they are nonetheless equal because they share a common human nature.

I challenge you to be intellectually honest:
Q - Do you think that birth makes the unborn human?
A – If so, how does a mere change of location from inside the womb to outside the womb change the essential nature of the unborn?
Q - Does brain development or higher consciousness makes us human?
A – If so, would you agree with Joseph Fletcher that those with an IQ below 20 or perhaps 40 should be declared non-persons? If not, why not?

Some of you are going to ignore the scientific and philosophic case presented for the pro-life view and argue for abortion based on self-interest. That is the lazy way out. I remind you that if we care about truth, we will courageously follow the facts wherever they lead, no matter what the cost to our own self-interests.

So then ask yourself – Is your position on abortion one of logic and science or one of self-interest.

This last video is of Scott Klusendorf speaking at Gordon College in Massachusetts. BE WARNED, THERE ARE ABOUT 95 SECONDS OF VERY GRAPHIC IMAGES.
Scott Klusendorf - Speech to Gordon College


There are many of you who still have the question of victims of rape and incest. And I empathize with those who have that concern. As a Christian, I believe that the life of the unborn child is just as valid as that of the victim mother, and one cannot be give priority over the other, except where the life of the mother is threatened. We Christians have got to acknowledge that a victim is suffering and we cannot erase that by promoting the life of the unborn. However, what we should do is to show compassion and generosity towards the mother, by ensuring that she understands the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that God’s will is for her to have the baby. We should NOT EVER minimize a victim’s experiences simply because we know that her unborn child has the right to life.

In addition to the evidence presented above, I believe that the primary elemental DNA coding of life happens at conception. Everything that the unborn human will be is determined the moment the sperm meets the egg through that genetic coding. Don’t agree? Then ask why embryonic stem cells are seen as ultimately valuable in medical research.

Abortion is murder.

SNL's crassness with modern politics

So, I decided to give SNL one more chance to keep the humor as unbiased as possible and to keep the tactless attacks on Sarah Palin’s family out of the fun.

The parody of the VP debate was going brilliantly with both sides getting an equal amount to ribbing. This was starting to show that it could be fun again until there was 3:40 left in the clip. That was about where the “unwilling teenagers” jab was given.



Incest, and now this?

I thought at least it could remain fun for everyone…especially the candidates and their families. Bush, the elder used to enjoy Dana Carvey’s take on him and took the jabs in stride.

This is supposed to be a show where comedy can say to our national leaders what we don’t always get the chance to and in fun. But any American that would openly attack the Palin family the way SNL does has lost any sense of tact or taste.

Now, on the positive note, the C-Span Bailout clip was spot on! I commented on another blog that I wouldn’t be surprised to see the actual people act that way and say those actual words.

Joe Biden set to win veep debate

Gwen Ifill will be “moderating” the Vice-Presidential Debate tonight. While normally I would not be surprised to find a liberal leaning journalist in this position, I do have a major concern.

I was doing some research on the debate and just wanted to find out more about Ms. Ifill. This is a very accomplished journalist with a notable career of over 30 years. She is the moderator and managing editor of Washington Week and senior correspondent of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Before coming to PBS, she was chief congressional and political correspondent for NBC News, and had been a reporter for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, and Boston Herald American.

Does anyone else see the pattern here?

Now for the really shocking fact about Ms. Ifill: She has a book scheduled to be released in early 2009. Guess what it is called…

“The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama”


Age of OBAMA???

So, based on the title alone, I think we can assume that Ms. Ifill would benefit financially, in terms of sales of her book, if Barack Obama were to win the general election.

Just how fair, balanced and unbiased will she be moderating the veep debate?

Below are her comments from the floor of the RNC Convention following Governor Palin’s speech:


Again, just how fair will she be when she not only has a book that will sell more if Obama wins but also when she already has a biased perspective of Governor Palin?

Will questions include the following?

Senator Biden, who has the best chance of being the best president, Senator McCain or Obama?

Governor Palin, who do you think you are to mock Barack Obama?

Senator Biden, does your many years of service and experience matter in the VP position?

Governor Palin, are you a wife first, or a mother first?

But should she be replaced as moderator, who will be the replacement? Who in the MSM is not biased, one way or the other? The majority of journalists lean left with a few that lean to the right. There really isn’t any press rep in this country that is unbiased.

There has been much ado about how Joe Biden is going to keep the kid gloves on for Palin but will attack McCain. But now I am wondering if Palin will be able to attack Biden or Obama without having the moderator gear questions to make her look bad in doing that.

So, what to do…

Sarah Palin is going to have to be majorly on her game in this debate. She will HAVE to be the barracuda she is known to be, even challenging whoever the moderator may be.

I may not have stated it before too much, but I am really beginning to believe that this election is totally rigged to elect Barack Obama as president.

May God’s will be done.

Matt Damon predicted it!

Apparently Matt Damon did a cross-coop between Sundance and Disney:

Media bias in election coverage?

The following came from CNN's Headline News. I found every one involved to be blitheringly idiotic in their comprehension of this issue. The host, guests and callers were just plain ignorant! Enjoy!!!!

Excerpt from Gov. Palin on FNC’s H&C

There is no doubt in my mind, even IF she didn’t have the experience she does, that Sarah Palin is ready for national leadership.

Transcript excerpt from interview of GOV. PALIN ON 'HANNITY & COLMES,' PART 2




“The shots that perhaps our campaign has taken, it's nothing compared to the shots that some people across America are taking today. The things that really matter: Somebody worried about losing their house because of Wall Street collapses. Somebody worried about losing their job or being able to pay for their child's health care coverage or a parent perhaps having lost a son or daughter in battle, those are the shots that matter.” – Gov. Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin truly has a servant’s heart! “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” - Matthew 23:12

No she isn’t the Messiah. But it seems more and more apparent that she is trying to follow His example.

Obama goons involved in investigation of Palin

Dems challenged on “Troopergate”


A lawsuit has been filed by a Texas law firm on behalf of several state lawmakers in Alaska, seeking to have at least one financial supporter of Sen. Barack Obama removed from a team investigating "Troopergate," a series of allegations involving GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

If you don’t know what this is about… uh, Google it, goober!

The lawsuit said the investigation… is being led by Sens. Hollis French and Kim Elton, with Stephen E. Branchflower as an investigator.

However, the three have pursued "partisan" actions in attempts to "smear" Palin that make the investigation impossible to continue and be perceived as fair, the lawsuit said.

"The partisan actions of Sen. French, Sen. Elton and Branchflower have tainted the investigation beyond the appearance of impartiality required under the Alaska Constitution," said Kevin Clarkson, of the firm Brena, Bell, & Clarkson and counsel in the suit.

The investigation, which began after Monegan's dismissal in July, is being led by Obama supporters, the lawsuit said. For example, Elton donated $2,000 to the Obama campaign, then failed to disclose that to the Legislative Council, Liberty Legal said.

"He continues to preside over the investigation despite his apparent personal political interest in the outcome of the investigation," the claim said. "Sen. French, the 'investigation project manager,' failed to disclose the comments he had made on a radio program criticizing Gov. Palin's termination of Monegan as 'criminal' prior to being appointed as the 'investigation project manager' and even prior to a vote to investigate at all."

And, the claim said, "Branchflower, the lead investigator, is alleged to be a personal friend of Monegan."


Well Shut My Mouth!

Too far??? WAY TOO (*&^)(*&#% FAR!!!!!!!!!!!

As of late, prominent DNC leaders have taken a line from the following:



And now there are 0bama campaign buttons and shirts with this slogan.


So now the comparison is that 0bama is Jesus and Palin is Pontius Pilate. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were governors as well, numbskulls!

Why is this pastor using his pulpit to cage Jesus into anything.

Jesus Christ was NOT a community organizer. He is the Messiah, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Son of God, Light of the World, Bread of Life, the Solid Rock, Lamb of God and so much more than any one title could ever encompass.

If we are going to take this line of thinking, the ONLY ONE who is a community organizer is GOD Almighty. God organized EVERYTHING. And 0bama ain’t God, a god, godly, or righteous. So there is no way to compare them.
Also, Jesus came to seek and save the lost to bring them to God. Obama came to seek and save lemmings to bring them to himself and his political power.

And how dare anyone compare a brutal provincial Roman governor to any politician in our country, democrat or republican?!??!??! Because if that were the case, A better comparison would be those DEMOCRAT governors and plantation owners of Antebellum America….oh and they did things to organize their communities with whips and chains.

Do you see how stupid that sounds?

Is the desperation to put 0bama in office so great that now even CHRISTIAN pastors would blaspheme Jesus? Who gets the glory there, pastor?

I would NEVER compare ANY politician to Jesus!

And let’s get this straight. A community organizer is a politician…some use the position to seek higher ones and some use it for the good of the community, but it is a political job nonetheless. And Jesus was never political. He NEVER did anything with the purpose to bring good to the earthly community. He did ALL to glorify God.

This is a line crossed that God will have to deal with, because I am having to repent of my hatred for idiots right now.

Okay, the snake in the grass has heard the fat lady sing and desperation has set in!

Okay, the snake in the grass has heard the fat lady sing and desperation has set in!



“You can put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a pig” is an expression that has been used for years. But there is no doubt, especially by the roar of 0bama’s moonbat followers that his use of it is a direct yet desperate bite at Governor Palin.



At least with Sarah Palin, you don’t get the proverbial “Pig in a Poke,” you inexperienced, Marxist patty of bovine feces!

From the mouths of her former colleagues in Alaska.

McCain ~ Palin 2008

Apparently Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s experience not only has her words, or the words of the GOP to claim her experience, but she has the words of her former colleagues in Alaska. This is a popular governor who has the reputation of putting her constituents first.

The following videos are from “On The Record” with Great Van Susteren on Fox News from September 5th.

Dianne Keller on Sarah Palin:


Dianne Keller is the current mayor of Wasilla, Alaska who succeeded Palin to the mayorship. Keller observed Palin as mayor for six years while she served on the Wasilla city counsel. Keller gives her admiration for Palin’s personal drive while relating to her small town constituency. Palin went to people’s homes to meet with them about their concerns. She even performed her mayoral privilege of marrying a couple at the local Wal-Mart. Keller endorsed Palin here not just politically, but personally as well.

Major General Craig E. Campbell and Meg Stapleton on Sarah Palin:


General Campbell has known Palin for twelve years. In referring to Palin’s gubernatorial duties as commander-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard, Campbell said that, “Sarah does it great.” Campbell talked about how soon after Palin took office as Governor, some of her first questions were about the guard troops and, after visiting those deployed to Kuwait, ended up with ideas and perspectives that served the best interest of the troops, their families, and their state. She took those perspectives and ideas and made them into law the following year. Campbell stated that “she is above and beyond what a governor will do,” in terms of her role as C-in-C of the state guard. What she needed to learn and understand about the guard in Alaska, she did in “rapid-fire” fashion. As a military commander, Campbell gave a resounding endorsement of Palin’s abilities as a civilian leader of the military.

Meg Stapleton served as Press Secretary to Palin. Stapleton described Palin’s ability to get work moving on a natural gas pipeline which is something that Alaska governor have to been trying to unsuccessfully do for three decades. She was able to accomplish this because she researched and questioned all sides of the issue and she saw the need to let capitalistic market competition prevail over government control. Stapleton also talked about Palin’s overwhelming popularity in Alaska and explained that it was do to Palin being able to be a common sense executive who put Alaskans first instead of special interests. She gave her endorsement by stating the Palin would bring that same attitude with her as vice-president.

Now, I realize that no person is perfect and especially, no politician is perfect. But it is amazing that this daughter of “Final Frontier” has a modern pioneering spirit reminiscent of our founding fathers!

Americans stand up for fairness!

Angry readers dump Us Magazine over Palin


“Three celebrity weeklies — OK!, People and Us Weekly — featured Sarah Palin on their cover, but one of those magazines is reportedly losing subscribers because of it.
Us Weekly, which unlike People and OK!, chose a rather caustic cover line (“Babies, Lies and Scandal”) is said to have lost thousands of subscribers in just the first 24 hours following the printing of the issue.”

Seems to me that the main stream media is discovering that Americans aren’t putting up with biased reporting as much as they used to.

This video is from 9/03/08. Fox News’ Megyn Kelly interviews Us Weekly Senior Editor Bradley Jacobs.


It was very apparent the Jacobs wasn’t prepared to defend the integrity of the article and made it clear that it is US WEEKLY’S practice to rush a story to print before all the facts are confirmed.

The fact of the matter is that the “lefting” of America’s journalism practices is being shown for the travesty it is. AND AMERICANS AREN’T HAVING IT!!!

Truly tasteless reporting

Now they are going after little kids!
