"Change we can believe in"? I don't hear anything different in Barack Obama's liberal stance on abortion and life, which is unmatched in its extremism. Already an avid supporter of live birth abortions, he now says that if his daughters were to "make a mistake" he wouldn't want them "punished with a baby". He later unequivocally called his own daughters miracles. Said the Senator, "They are miracles". Read the story here. Although he was talking about providing information about contraception to young people, it naturally follows that if one of his daughters did make a mistake (that is, get knocked up) he would allow them and, perhaps encourage them, to get an abortion...you know, to avoid the "punishment" of a baby.
Now, nevermind the fact that this is just typical liberal dogma that no one should be held accountable for their actions. But, did he just call some babies punishments?
Let me wrap my head around this. Wanted children are miracles, but unwanted babies are punishments? Babies born without fathers are "punishments"? Now, I haven't attended a church service in a whole year worth of Sundays, but I do believe that it is the Creator who gives us our miracles, not some "benevolent" mother who, out of the goodness of her heart, decided she would proceed with her pregnancy. The irresponsible teen who becomes pregnant and decides to take responsibility, though brave, is not the Creator of miracles. Isn't it God who breaths life into us and takes it away? Or is Barack Obama, like so many other godless liberals, creating his own gospel of truth.
Perhaps Jeremiah Wright should have taken a break from his traditional hate filled sermons to deliver a truly inspirational message about the precious gift of life. Maybe then, after 20 years, the Democrats' leading candidate would understand a little better where our miracles really come from.
Here's a hint, Barack: It isn't from that resentful, America-hating wife of yours.

Matthew E. Miller: "Obama The Cowardly Messiah"
Two words came to mind when I read Matthew Miller's latest column at R4'08.com: Simply genius. I have frequently called Obama a fake and a fraud, a liar and a scoundrel. Or, to make the language more plain to his worshippers, a "false prophet", if you will. But a coward? Why didn't I think of that!?
It is so plain to see, and yet somehow I missed it. Miller closes this way:
Of course, this may all come back to bite Mr. Obama in the proverbial ass. He's slipping behind McCain in several key states including Democratic strongholds like Michigan (Michigan!) and New Jersey. I echo the sentiments of Justin Higgins on ROTR, that the more I watch and listen to John McCain the more comfortable I am in his ability to win this election and satisfy the conservative base.
Of course, as Justin says, I'd be really enthusiastic if they would stick Mitt on the ticket.
It is so plain to see, and yet somehow I missed it. Miller closes this way:
Barack Obama is a coward. He’s never given an ounce of blood, literally or metaphorically, for a cause. He’s never suffered for a controversial belief. He’s followed the political winds without question, and without hesitation. He can unite no one; he’s never made the attempt, beyond tossing off flowery rhetoric dripping in hyperbole, condescension, and an elevated sense of his own importance. He embraces figures and positions which further his own ends, and disavows figures and positions which harm those ends; when the former become the latter, he speedily reverses course. In comparison to John McCain, who’s suffered bitterly for this country, and who’s staked his political career numerous times on fighting against the headwinds of his interests (Iraq, immigration, global warming), Barack Obama looks like a rank opportunist of the first order."Rank opportunist of the first order". Can I get an "amen"? Believe me, the article is much better in its entirety.
Of course, this may all come back to bite Mr. Obama in the proverbial ass. He's slipping behind McCain in several key states including Democratic strongholds like Michigan (Michigan!) and New Jersey.

Welcome to Democratic Airlines
"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Democratic Airlines let me be the first to welcome you to what is sure to be a long and bumpy flight enroute to Denver Colorado and your nominating convention. If you haven't already done so, please stow your political rhetoric underneath the seat in front of you or in an overhead bin.
Please take your seat and fasten your seat belt. Also make sure your campaign contributions are in their full and upright finance law positions. If you are seated next to an emergency exit, you are responsible for abandoning the plane if at anytime it becomes obvious your continued campaigning may harm the party. Please read carefully the special instructions card located by your seat labeled "The Bill Richardson Plan".
If you do not wish to perform the functions described in the event of an emergency, please begin to scream loudly, and angrily at major party officials who are supporting your opponent.
At this time, we request that all cellular phones, pagers, radios and remote controlled toys be turned off or tuned to the approved list of channels which include most media networks and broadcasters with the exception of Fox News; for the full duration of the flight, as these items might interfere with the liberal stranglehold on news reporting.
We remind you that this is a non-family values flight. Democratic Airlines is proud to offer its passengers a value-free environment. Values are prohibited on the entire aircraft, including the lavatories, which shall allow your spouses to interact freely with whatever interns they see fit. Tampering with, disabling or destroying the lavatory value detectors is prohibited by law.
In the event the cabin becomes pressurized with negative attack ads, or unfavorable opinion polls, oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling. Please secure your mask before attempting to prohibit your opponent from securing theirs.
In the event of a water landing, your seat cushion may be used as a floatation device and your death will save the country 8 more months of useless jargon.
Once again, it is my pleasure to welcome you aboard Democratic Airlines, we know you have a choice when you fly and after this primary campaign is over we will need all the customers we can get."

Gore Launches TV Ads
Gore's cause to clean up the enviornment will bring together Pat Robertson and Al Sharpton as well as Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi. This is one area where Gore deserves credit; bringing this issue to the public is important, although sometimes I wish we'd hear less talking by Big Ole Al!
More Hollywood Lies: Stop-Loss Hits Theaters, Flops
Have you ever heard or seen something that sped up your heartrate and gave you that fight-or-flight adrenaline rush just because it was such a blatant and poisonous lie? It enraged you because even though you knew it was clearly a lie, other people right around you didn't know better and probably ate it up? That's how I felt two months ago when I sat in a Manhattan movie theater packed with left-wing yuppies and the preview for Stop-Loss, which opened this weekend, flickered on the screen.
The premise of the movie is this: Army war hero and small-town everyman (Ryan Phillipe) returns triumphantly from Iraq at the end of his enlistment ready to settle down and pursue the American dream with his equally blonde high school sweetheart (typecast Hollywood protagonists always have two things in common: blonde hair and democrat voting records). But wait a second there, heroic young American. Bush and his blood-and-oil-thirsty gang of neo-con fascist Republicans have other plans -- you've been stop-lossed! Oh, snap!
Mr. big biceps tough boy gets orders to return to the hopeless quagmire of Iraq, which sets us up for our hero's obviously noble inner conflict--to desert in a time of war or not to desert in a time of war?
Ugh. Everything about this movie is disgusting. Let's break down why a movie with this theme failed hopelessly at the box office.
First, it's premised on a very dangerous and intentionally deceptive lie. The producers of this movie want you to believe that every day courageous, young soldiers like Phillipe's character are doing their duty for a government that betrays them by villainously breaking their enlistment contracts through utilization of stop-loss orders (Phillipe's character indignantly complains "I honored my contract and I expect the Army to do the same!") This is demonstrably false.
For example, when I personally enlisted in the Army, my contractual obligation, as very plainly and clearly presented to me, was four years active duty in addition to four years in the Individual Ready Reserve. This means I owe the Army a minimum of four years and they are entitled to extend me an additional four. If they did so, it would be well within the bounds of the agreement that was entered into. This is the standard. Now, obviously the inability of this movie's hero to understand his enlistment contract is to be laid at President Bush's feet, right? Hmmm...
The second reason movies like this fail is that it asks a question and explores an issue that no respectable American relates to: desertion in a time of war. No amount of equivocation or emotional Hollywood bullshit can make a deserter seem noble or just. To regular people, this is just a no-brainer. Desertion is a bad thing.
Well now Hollywood, once again, will be reminded this weekend of the grand chasm that remains between the values they trumpet and those shared by their (unpaying) customers. Stop-Loss flops. But American values like duty, honor, and intellectual honesty win.

What We Are Fighting - Islam, Religion of Pieces
Geert Wilders, an anti-Islam crusading politician in Holland, recently released his film, Fitna, to tremendous controversy. The short film, which criticizes the barbarism and hatred of the "religion of peace," has been censored and pulled from nearly every medium available. Via ROTR, we've got the entire video here for you:
A religion of peace? It is a religion that encourages barbarism, hatred and murder. Liberals around the world need to wake up and realize the threat we face. It is not about foreign policy in the Middle East, or "blood for oil." It is about being a non-believer, an infidel. That includes you, Mr. Reid.

Reverend Wright Joins The Rich White People
Barack Obama's pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, once accused white Americans of racism, of controlling black people, and ridiculed the "middle classism" and materialism of people who had not grew up in the slums of Chicago, or had never been called "nigger".
Well, it appears that after serving so long as a man of the cloth, Reverend Wright is just about ready join the "middle class" and partake of the material goods he so long raved against. Take a look at his new crib.
And it's only costing a cool $1.6 million. Typical liberal. Hypocritical. Race baiting. Fear mongering. Guilt inducing. Stupid.

McCain running a surprising campaign...so far.
Most of you know I was not at all thrilled about John McCain being the republican nominee. I kicked and screamed and looked for a way to stop it from happening. It now appears that something strange is happening. John McCain is running the kind of campaign that I wanted to see our candidate run.
His first two web ads have revealed the direction he intends to go. He intends to take a nation that is down on itself and help lift it up through inspiring words and stories of his heroic past. He intends to make the case for staying the course in an unpopular war in a way that our current president was never able to do. The first two web ads have actually made me proud to have John McCain as our nominee.
If McCain sticks to his message and does not yield his principles for compromise, he will be hard to beat. Of course, we could still see the McCain of 2000 resurface, but I'm hoping he has seen the light.

Double Standard on Illegals
Just as they used anti-gay rhetoric in 2004, our party has once again found a divisive issue to latch on to in order to win votes. This time around, it's illegal immigration. I was sitting in the back of my friend's car recently and found a box of political mailers in support of various candidates from the largest youth based conservative organization in Texas. Every last one was about who is tougher on illegal immigration and kicking out those no good illegals. That's productive.
Do we really believe it is realistic to magically kick out every single illegal immigrant with the snap of our fingers? Do we really believe that our economy can function without them? I keep hearing people say that they are taking American jobs, but I hear those same people say "That's a day laborer job", or "That job is for Mexicans". The fact is, these guys are willing to work harder and less glamorous jobs for less money and longer hours.
The workforce of immigrants who have entered the country illegally is massive in scope and in necessity. People often throw out the unemployment rate as proof that illegals are taking American jobs. Do they expect us to believe that when GM lays off 5,000 workers, they're all going to go pick fruit or work in restaurant kitchens? We need their work force, plain and simple.
That being said, the law is the law. No one should be rewarded for taking it in to their own hands and cheating the system. No amnesty. I believe we need a system that sends those who are here illegally to the back of the line, but one that gives them the opportunity to get in the line. There is no better way to identify those who have entered the country illegally than to give them incentive to identify themselves.
The path to citizenship is long and complicated. We need to simplify it. A lot of people criticize illegal immigrants as coming across illegally just because they're impatient or trying to cheat the system. That's not the case. It's an act of desperation. Most Americans don't realize that there are requirements for immigration that most of these illegal immigrants don't meet. They include ownership of property and a certain amount of money in savings. Most either can't meet the requirements or can't afford to wait the several years it takes to gain legal entry.
Illegal immigration is a problem that needs to be addressed. Border security is a crucial weakness in our national security. We need to drop the Anti-Mexican rhetoric and come up with some realistic solutions. We need to prioritize. Here are some priorities that I believe need to be addressed:
1. Secure the border with more technology, more men on the ground, and border fencing.
2. Empower local law enforcement in order to promote cooperation with federal immigration officials.
3. Establish a guest worker program which allows a path to citizenship for those who come forward and go to the back of the line.
4. Simplify and modernize the immigration process. This would include eliminating the visa lottery system and replacing it with a priority and merit based system. The top priority should be those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
5. Strictly enforce laws against employers who hire undocumented workers.
6. Improve document security to prevent forgery or identity theft.
7. Place severe penalties on "coyotes" or immigrant smuggling rings and human traffickers.
You may disagree with my priorities or my logic, but we should be talking about these points rather than divisively accusing each other of supporting those "no good illegals". No good can come for our party or for our country from the use of divisive ad intolerant rhetoric.

Jesus Supports McCain
Obvious I know. Did you really think that he could support Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?Listen my fellow believers, I will not pretend to "hear voices of the divine", and I will not claim to have visions of our lord that would somehow indicate his political affiliation. However, because everytime Hill-dog or Barack give speeches little horns pop out of their heads, and tails sprout from the liberal behinds it is obvious who the heavenly father supports.
John McCain is angelic in every sense of the word. While many claim his old age places him too close to the grave to be President, I counter by saying his old age puts him "closer to god", in fact about as close as you can get. Isn't that what this nation needs? A candidate with Jesus as his right-hand man?
A vote for John is a vote for Jesus.
Eugene, Oregon - The Most Racist Place In America
This years U.S. Olympic Team Trials for track and field will be held in Eugene, Oregon, a liberal college town with nothing more to do than bathe itself in self-induced white-guilt over its meager 2% black population. Don't believe me? In preparation for the influx of track and field athletes (who are predominantly black), the town of Eugene has inacted complusory race training for all of the town's government employees and all volunteers helping during the Olympic trials. View the FNC Report here.
As reported, the city's "Culutural Competency Training" requires city workers and volunteers to learn the location of local "soul food" establishments, black boutiques, black churches, and discourages them from greeting black athletes as blacks may greet one another (an important tip is that terms like "Wassap my nigga?" are offensive when uttered by anyone other than a black person). Also, according to the training, it is important that city employees do not assume all black people are athletes there for the Olympic trials. These overly sensitive liberal white politicians don't seem like the "typical white people" Barack seems to know.
A solution looking for a problem, indeed.

Powers Boothe...AKA Jim Jones, Helps McCain
As John McCain airs his latest ad entitled "624787," Powers Boothe the famous actor that has played roles in movies such as "Nixon" and "Sin City", and who won an Emmy for his 1980 portrayal of Jim Jones is the voiceover to the new McCain ad. No word on whether or not Boothe is endorsing McCain although I think that would be a given.
My Cheeseburger
So this is not political at all, but I really had to share. So after work tonight I went to a McDonald's to get a double cheeseburger and soda, because I was absolutely starving after working for 9 hours. So, I pulled up to the order thingy, and they tell me they are closed for the next half hour for a shift change. CLOSE? MCDONALDS! I was so upset. And I immediately thought of one of my favorite Veggie Tales songs. You'll love this, I promise. You should watch it all.
McCain-Romney 2008?
Personally, I like this scenario much better than the one Nick laid out for us just the other day. Apparently, Mitt and Mac have been awfully chummy lately, and are now fundraising together and eatin' turkey sandwiches side by side. As quoted by ROTR:
In a show of Republican unity, one-time bitter foes John McCain and Mitt Romney raised money and campaigned together Thursday for a single goal — getting McCain elected president.As I have said many times, the enthusiasm that would surround an M&M ticket would be unstoppable and would ease a lot of the apprehensiveness many conservative voters feel.
“We are united. Now our job is to energize our party,” the Arizona senator said in an airport hangar, flanked by Romney and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., an early McCain supporter. Both have been mentioned as potential vice presidential picks, and McCain praised each.
Romney lauded McCain and promised to do all he can to help, saying: “He is a man who is proven and tested” and without question the right man to be president. …
On the flight, there seemed to be little residual acrimony between the former rivals.
They sat next to each other and ate turkey sandwiches. They laughed and talked during the hourlong flight, and were complimentary of each other when talking to reporters traveling with McCain.
McCain-Romney '08? I vote YES!

Hillary Really Did Dodge Snipers In Bosnia!
Some comic relief for you all, as we get ready to round out the week! Apparently, Hillary really did dodge sniper fire on her trip to Bosnia, and so much more! Hillarious! Watch the whole thing.

Barack Obama vs. John McCain- Electoral College Matchup
Up until the election, I will be making predictions on who is going to win the nomination. With the Democrat still TBD, I will start out with Obama vs. McCain. I will keep adjusting these as new data comes out, and will even make predictions based on possible VP candidates. Without further ado, here is my electoral map if the election was tomorrow. Click on the map to see it in greater detail.
Since I know the first version is kind of hard to read, I have McCain winning over Obama 279-259.
Since I know the first version is kind of hard to read, I have McCain winning over Obama 279-259.
Dear Democrats,
The 2008 Presidential was like a Dodge Viper SRT-10 to you. It was beautifully detailed, and in pristine condition. But you left your lights on, and eventually people began to notice that even when the Republican party can't pull a 30 percent approval rating, you still manage to screw your chances up just in the nick of time. That's when fate decided to bash your hopes with the "golf club" of justice, and with the fury of metal on glass your dreams vanished. Better luck next time.
Sincerely,
Karma
Democrats Toured Iraq Courtesy Of Saddam Before Speaking Out Against War
New word today that the Iraq Intelligence Agency funded a trip to Iraq by Democrat Congressmen Jim McDermott, David Bonior and Mike Thompson. While there is no evidence to suggest the congressmen knew the trip was funded by Saddam Hussein's regime, this only means proves they are even more stupid than previously thought.
McDermott's aides are now insisting they only went to Iraq to "see the plight of the Iraqi children", a plight obviously not terrible enough to justify overthrowing Hussein. McDermott spoke out against the war from Iraq during the trip, earning him the nickname "Baghdad Jim". Mike Thompson, during a live press conference from Saddam's paradise, said "War is not the answer".
Of course, it is only logical that Saddam would invite Democrats to come into Iraq, knowing they would spew anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-war blather from his own turf. After witnessing life under Saddam first hand, the most Democrats could muster was disdain for the sitting American president.
I tell ya, if treason were Fruity Pebbles I'd eat Democrats for breakfast.
YouTube Censors Anti Gore Ad
YouTube is developing a disappointing record in what it chooses to censor. So far videos on Islam, abortion and now Al Gore have been banned. This leaves those of us in the blogosphere with the task of delivering said videos. So, without further ado, I present Al Gore, environmental bigot.
McCain-Paul 2008
Traditional conservatives who believed in limited taxes, limited spending, and limited intrusions into personal liberties used to be called something special….Republicans.
Now the so called “conservative republicans” stand for limited taxes, and…hmm low public polling numbers?
When the republican candidates reminded the nation that democrats were big spenders, and in favor of expanding government, Ron Paul was the sole voice reminding them that expenditures have exploded under President Bush’s administration, and that up to 2006 the republican led congress had amassed the largest budget deficit ever seen.
When the republican candidates claimed they were patriots, and that the Democrats were threatening our freedoms by not supporting the war on terror, Ron Paul was the sole voice reminding them that they had supported the Patriot Act, which gave the executive branch unprecedented powers limiting our personal freedoms.
When the republican candidates bashed Ron Paul for not supporting the war in Iraq, he reminded them that intervening in Iraq to change the composition of the Middle East was not conservative at all.
Conserve our freedoms, our money, and our dignity.
Mix it up and give Paul the Vice Presidency. At least it will be interesting.

Talk Of Al Gore On The Ticket
Short post today. There is word now that Al Gore may throw his hat in the ring as a "unifying figure" to help Democrats get past their current stalemate.
We should be so lucky!

California Democrat Aims To Ban Ammunition
In light of the fact that SCOTUS is about to rule that "the people" referred to in the second amendment are, well, the people, liberals everywhere are beginning to wet their pants in fear of being gunned down at every other street corner by drug peddling gangsters. Or as I like to call them, "typical black people". And as everyone knows, gun violence would totally disappear if only we could outlaw guns forever, for good!
Well, have no fear my spineless commie friends, because California State Assemblyman Kevin De Leon is here to save the day! Calling it his "stroke of genius", De Leon has introduced AB 2062 which would ban all ammunition. Sayeth the Stalinist swine, “The Constitution may say the people have the right to bear arms, but it doesn’t say the arms have to be loaded". Gee wiz, he really is a genius! Having never heard the phrase "framers' intent," De Leon added, “We will make guns into useless paperweights and put an end to firearm violence in our state".
No, I did not get this from The Onion. He really is that stupid.
What's For Dessert?
The media finally decided it was time to dig into who the "real" Barack Obama is. What they have discovered is what many had been saying all along. Obama has a sketchy past, and more skeletons than his closet can hold.
I watched his now praised "race" speech last week, aimed at quelling criticism from the uproar over his pastor's overtly anti-American rhetoric. I was not impressed. It was the same tired, over-scripted mess. Obama is a gifted orator, and no one can take that from him. What he lacks is sincerity, and the ability to deliver the dessert he is promising this country. He could read the back of Betty Crocker cake mix and sound convincing...but that doesn't mean you should vote for him. In fact I think we can all consider Obama the Betty Crocker of the presidential election. (Yes Betty Crocker is a fictional, white, female but don't read too much into it Mr. Plouffe)
As much as I love mouthwatering, cakey, goodness, once the sugary, deliciousness wears away, it is nothing more than a guilt filled political calorie binge, heading our country toward another Bill Clinton style heart-attack.
What else is in the oven? You've got cooked goose a la Hillary. Not very appetizing and far too dry for my taste. And finally you have warm apple pie. An American Classic, steadfast, and trustworthy with broad appeal. McCain satisfies my hunger for a politician who has all the right ingredients.
Who wants a powdered, cake mix for President anyway?

What else is in the oven? You've got cooked goose a la Hillary. Not very appetizing and far too dry for my taste. And finally you have warm apple pie. An American Classic, steadfast, and trustworthy with broad appeal. McCain satisfies my hunger for a politician who has all the right ingredients.
Who wants a powdered, cake mix for President anyway?

Poll Watch: So Far, So Good
Things could not look better for Republicans eight months away from the general election. John McCain is now leading likely Democrat nominee Barack Obama in the most recent national polls, and is really handing it to him in the vital swing states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. And he's clobbering Hillary by ten points in the latest Rasmussen poll.
And in addition to those polls, came the sobering news that 20 percent of Democrats say they are likely to vote for John McCain if their candidate does not get the nomination. This according to a recent FMC poll. Things really are not looking so bad for the GOP this year, at least not so far. Six months ago, who would have guessed that the Republican nominee would be leading both democrats in every national poll? And perhaps to a more important question: Who except John McCain could have garnered such support so quickly?

Just Shut Up, Barack
This guy seriously needs new handlers. All of this "new politics" is beginning to exhaust the public, and I suspect it is because its beginning to sound a lot like the old politics. All of it culminating with race baiting and black resentment all crammed into one speech meant to, in the words of Charles Krauthammer, play to "intellectual flattery and white guilt". And as if throwing his own grandmother under the bus wasn't enough (she is still alive), today he called her "a typical white person". What?
Yes, and the doped up gang banger I saw downtown last night is just a "typical black person" right? And me, leaving a lovely theater after having seen a live musical, would be the "typical white person" I take it. And thus we are finally able to see through the shiny facade of the Obama campaign. It was all a lie, as most of us already knew. The candidate who was supposed to transcend race is suddenly stabbing his own white grandmother in the back to earn some points with his home boys.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Audacity of Barack.

When Democrats Attack
John McCain’s trip to the Middle East and now Europe highlights something very poignant about Republicans versus Democrats. While John McCain is going around the World making himself look presidential by speaking with foreign leaders and strengthening his foreign policy credentials what are the Democrats doing?
The Democrats are fighting.
This is nothing new for a party which only can use the word “change” to sum up their policies which would amount to government takeovers of private industry. While the Democrats fight, John McCain wins. I almost want to sit Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton down and tell them what they are doing is hurting their own chances in November, but where would the fun be in that?
John McCain’s poll numbers continue to go up and with Obama getting into the thick of things over race you know the Democrats are in for a dousy. With Obama every single day having to answer a question about race, more and more white voters are having enough of it. In all honestly, white voters don’t want to have to deal with being accused of racism and with Obama calling his grandmother a “typical white person” today it just keeps the race divide alive and well.
So as it was true in 1968 and 1980 with the Democrats there is no easy way of doing things and that’s just fine by me. The Democrats fight, America wins.

The Simpsons, Free Trade, and Elections
One issue that started to get more steam this primary season before the Ohio primary is the issue of free trade. Since 1968, there has only been one President (Jimmy Carter) who has enacted major restrictionist policies on trade. This begs the question: Can a candidate for President of the United States actually win on an anti-trade platform?
To quote Reverend Lovejoy from the Simpsons, "The short answer is 'yes' with an if. The long answer is 'no' with a but." For the short answer, if Obama and Clinton can somehow convince people that the reason we are currently in an economic downturn is not due to cyclical economics and recent overspending by Congress, then it is possible because they somehow make it seem like a trade agreement signed about 15 years ago suddenly made the economy slow down.
For the long answer, it is likely that Clinton and Obama will at the very least reduce their anti-trade rhetoric when the election draws near. Free trade has brought higher paying jobs into the United States through our ability to create superior technologies and stay ahead of the rest of the world in that aspect. Free trade has also helped countries such as South Korea rise above a former third world status. My personal guess is that whoever ends up as the Democratic nominee will at the very least tone down the anti-trade talk and advocate the status quo for trade.
But to expand free trade, we need to elect John McCain. Even though he has said that he isn't as strong in economics as he is in foreign policy, don't mistake that as a weakness in economics. He understands how pet projects add up and hurt the economy. He understands the need to find ways to lower prices for consumers by not levying higher taxes on companies. He understands that the United States has too many great assets not to freely trade them with the rest of the world. He understands that rather than having people keep lower paying jobs that may be lost by free trade, we should invest in retraining them for higher paying jobs in areas where we have the comparative advantage.
Let us make sure as conservatives that we rally around McCain's understanding of the economy. I know if we don't act, we as conservatives will collectively say "D'oh" at our economic situation under an Obama or Clinton presidency.

Obama and Cocaine: Demand the Truth
It's come to my attention that even some of this blog's contributors are not aware of a hard-hitting 527 that's asking tough questions and demanding real answers from Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton: the Swift Kids for Truth. This is their latest ad and best so far, in my opinion:
Ours to Lose
That the Democrats still have at least four more weeks of frenzied, cannibalistic infighting left should warm all of our hearts. But throw in the fact that Obama's message has been derailed and his campaign has lost control of its own narrative and now the once worrisome prospect of his campaign's victory is beginning to quickly recede from every GOP heart and mind.
Our guy? Oh, he's just finished up consolidating his base and is now busy traveling the world acting like the world leader he's about to be.
This comes as no surprise then:
It seems the Democrats are on the verge of doing it yet again - snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Right Up Front: Obama's "Race Speech" Offensive
Besides that fact that the living God admitted today to lying on national television, his "race speech" was offensive and marks a giant leap forward for those who appreciate race baiting and victimization. The speech no doubt resonated with his followers, whose bobble head reaction was predictable. But for those of us not willing to buy into the Obama cult, the Reverend Wright scandal was not about race. It was about a presidential candidates mentor and spiritual leader accosting America, saying we brought 9-11 on ourselves and "inventing" the HIV virus. It was about a presidential canidate who claims he wants to unite the country having attended a church for twenty years in which an indignant agitator chants "God damn America!!".
First, the lie. In an inteview with Fox New's Major Garret, Obama claimed he had never heard such heinous remarks from Reverend Wright before. And had he ever heard such ridiculous blather, he'd have surely quit the church. But today, in his speech, Obama admitted, "Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes." So, what you're saying, Senator, is that you willingly lied to a national TV audience about whether or not you had ever heard these kinds of remarks and you lied about rather or not you would leave the church, since you obviously have not.
Then Barack lays into white people, blaming them for all of the black communities problems and calling whites racist, stupid, conformist followers. "Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism".
The "race speech" was laced with images of victimhood and sorrow, the raison d'etre of of today's "civil rights" movement. I know discrimination. I have been called "faggot" and "queer", and I have been made to sit on the sidelines while my fellow citizens reap the benefits of a heterosexual culture. But I was raised in a family and culture that teaches me that victimhood is not an option; that you pick yourself up by the bootstraps; that you make your own opportunities. My sexuality will never be an excuse for my shortcomings or failures, for I am in control of my own destiny.
Barack Obama today displayed typical race baiting that plays on the fears of black America and perpetuates a culture of victimhood in the black community that stifles progress and discourages success. The entire country would be better off without it.
That, my friends, is right up front.

Make Or Break
Barack Obama is scheduled to deliver what is called a "make or break" speech in Philadelphia today regarding race and his pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Wright, who has come under fire by many for what have been deemed inflammatory remarkrs, serves as Obama's spiritual leader. To many it has called Obama's judgement into question as to why he would associate himself with someone who has made such controversial statements.
One of those statements read as the following: "The government gives them drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants to sing 'God Bless America,' Wright said in a 2003 sermon that has seen much media play. "No, no, no, not 'God Bless America' -- 'God Damn America."
With the race card being played more in an already heated presidential battle it was only a matter of time before Obama would have to make such a speech. It hasn't been a good few days for the Obama campaign and today's speech might just put a stop to the presidential aspirations of the Obama campaign.

Sex, Sex, Sex
Just days ago, New York governor Eliot Spitzer resigned when details surfaced that he had spent over $10,000 getting his rocks off with some hooker from an elite hooker website.
Only hours after taking Spitzer's place, New York's newest scumbag Democrat governor, David Paterson, is now admitting to having an affair of his own years ago while he and his wife were experiencing marital problems. But, wait! There's more. There always is. His wife admits to the same thing! The scandalous news from the Empire State just keeps rolling in.
And not a moment too soon. Just yesterday we were graced with new details regarding former New Jersey governor, Democrat Jim McGreevey, who resigned after confessing to having sex with more men in more places than Courtney Love before the anorexia took hold. According to reports, his wife, who claimed she was "blind sided" by the revelations, was fully aware of the affair and was present as a "third" in some of the governor's trysts with his driver, one Theodore Pedersen. Apparently, the only thing blind siding the late Mrs. McGreevey was the driver's... oh, nevermind.
The moral of the story is this: If you know any northeast Democrats, you might want to stock up on the Germ-X and get to your local testing center, ASAP.
Another McCain Web Ad - "Stand Up"
Yet another web ad from the McCain campaign. Not as good as the last one I shared with you, but then again, what could beat that?
