Solidarity
As most readers know various Blogspot blogs are being tagged as Spam and shut down by Google. The owners are being locked out, forced to submit to word verification to post on their own blogs. See Uppity Woman's post if you don't know the story-
http://hyper-educated-uppity-woman.blogspot.com/2008/06/obama-comrades-pssst-over-here.html
There are numerous other postings about this all over the blogosphere. Now I am just an average (typical) PA voter, voted Dem all my life, fairly new to blogging so my blog does not attract attention from the Borg/Bots. I do recognize the suppression of free speech when I see it!
This whole sham of an election just gets more and more frightening. We have the power hungry DNC shoving an inexperienced, unqualified candidate down our throats. Caucus goers who were not voting for Howard Dean's personal selected were subject to harassment and intimidation (don't believe me? Check out You Tube for live action video of the Texas Caucuses.) We have bloggers calling other bloggers racists and Republicans. Obama thugs have harassed and intimidated voters driving along the road (don't believe me? Check out Sugar n Spice's blog for a real scary account of her harrowing experience.) The media refuses to do it's job and has been part and parcel of the coup. The Obama campaign tried to suppress the free speech of protesters at the sham unity event in NH by attempting to have the voice of freedom moved to "free speech zones" and confiscating signs. (Don't believe it? Click on the Confluence link and watch the videos.)
Folks, this is all real. The American people did not rise up and protest strongly enough when Bush stole the election in 2000. We were complacent when he did it again in 2004. Now here we are in 2008 and OUR party- the Democratic party- the party that once was the working class party- is very busily imitating the Republicans. They have used the rules to manipulate the results of the primary elections in FL and MI and given votes earned by one candidate to another!
And now, now they are shutting down Anti-Obama, anti-Unity blogs. It's called suppression and it is ugly!
I have declared myself a PUMA. I have joined Just Say No Deal. What can I do? One little voter? A HELL of a lot! I talk, I write, I call. Read the blogs, stay informed, communicate with like minded Americans who are not going to sit still and watch our country and our freedoms sold to the highest bidders.
I stand in solidarity with Uppity Woman, with BlueLyon, with Reflections-in-Tyme. I support the right to free speech, the right to dissent, the right to protest- and I stand with the writers of nobamablog, mccaindemocrats, politicallizard, comealongway and hillaryorbust. I am moving my blog to wordpress- where free speech is not yet endangered. Please visit me at

SOLIDARITY! Solidarity stood up against the might of the Soviet Union, the French Resistance fighters stood up against the Nazis. PUMAs will stand together against the 21st century's horror- Obama and the corrupt DNC. Viva Le Resistance!
PUMA!

Dog Sense!
I got this from a very good friend- Thanks Mark!
Have you ever heard that a dog 'knows' when an earthquake is about to hit?
Have you ever heard that a dog can 'sense' when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away?
Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struck Southeast Asia, dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?
Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?
Somehow they always know when they can go for a ride before you even ask and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?
I'm a firm believer that animals - and especially dogs - have keen insights into the Truth.
And you can't tell me that dogs can't sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.
Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn't right .. . when impending doom is upon us . . they'll always try to warn us.... !!

Alegre’s Corner
For those who loved Alegre. Knowvox, New Hampster, Campskunk, Girlpatriot and lots of others at MyDD. check it out- Alegre has a site now!
Lots of old and new friends there- all with one thing in common- we all are Hillary supporters who haven't gone over to the dark side!
I had a link to the site, but this blog has been attacked again and for some reason, the link to Alegre's Corner is the one thing the hacker trashed! That alone should tell you to click on over and say Hi!

Obama uncovered- Praise God and Pass the Ammuntion!
From my Google page this morning I followed a link to the Politico http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11263.html?loc=interstitialskip for an article entitled "First Obama attack book in the works" by Jonathan Martin.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11263.html?loc=interstitialskip
Turns out there are actually TWO attack books in the works, both due to be released in August! Hallelujah! Martin offers the following quote
I have e-mailed and called Regnery, the publisher and inquired about pre-ordering a copy and will keep you posted. here is the information for Regnery should you desire to perhaps speed up the release by showing an interest in purchasing this book.
Regnery Publishing, Inc.
A Division of Eagle Publishing

Telephone: 202-216-0600
Fax: 202-216-0612
Regnery Direct Telephone: 1-888-219-4747
In the same article, Martin also tells us there will be a positive book about Obama AND Simon and Schuster is planning an August release of a book called "The Obama Nation" by Jerome Corsi who was instrumental in helping to write the Swiftboat publication 'Unfit for Command" which we know sunk Kerry's plans.
One can go to Simon and Schuster's page and set up an e-mail alert on Corsi's book, which I have also done. The release date cited on the Simon and Schuster page is August 5, 2008.
Martin calls the Corsi book a "critical analysis" of Obama.
And I say- It's about damn time! If enough of us call, write and e-mail these publishers expressing interest perhaps the books will actually be released before the convention in Denver. Perhaps we can yet turn the tide!
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!!
Both titles can be pre-ordered from both Barnes and Noble and Amazon! I have them both on my wish list on both sites! (Hint hint to my kids- Mom's Birthday is coming up!)

Bots
-Going along all these months reading the various news and blog sites I have seen the comments of the trolls and wondered about the term 'Obots.' Where did it come from and what does it signify?
With the recent spell of hot weather we have had the annual influx of various flying pests that come with farm life. The horses attract numerous varieties of obnoxious winged insects and one of the most nefarious is- are you ready- the BOT fly!
Nasty, nasty creatures, bot flies. They are very large, about the size of a bumble bee. In order to reproduce they lay eggs on the horses hairs, which the horses ingest. Once ingested, the eggs become parasites living in the horse.
Researching the Bot fly yesterday I found to my horror that there is a particular species that invades humans! YUCK! It immediately came to me why the expression 'bots' is used to describe the trolls that invade every blog supporting Free Speech, Democratic Principles and especially those that support Hillary Clinton. Nasty, nasty, parasitic beings. Incapable of building their own homes like honey bees and ants, the bots invade a host. Completely useless and capable only of causing pain and discomfort to the host.
http://www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/bot/fly.html
I will not subject the dear readers to any of the video showing the effects of these vile creatures- Google the term 'human bot fly' if you want to be completely grossed out.
Keep plenty of repellent on hand- in the case of the new species -the Common Obot- a very effective repellent is facts. Most all bots will flee a blog as soon as facts are introduced. The most aggressive bots will require a strong insecticide, comment moderation and banning of IP addresses are most effective!

Make Way for the King! Stand Aside!
I followed a link at No Quarter to an article by John Heilemann entitled "The Fall and Rise of Hillary Clinton." http://nymag.com/news/politics/47837/ The article is an interesting take on what Hillary has gained in 'losing' the nomination. (Note- she has NOT lost, there is no nominee until the delegates vote in Denver- anything can happen between now and then- like common sense breaking out!)
When I clicked on the link, I certainly did not expect to see on the first page of the article the following quote-
Whoa! Now what is that all about? I have been to my fair share of political events- rallies, protests, town hall meetings and legislative hearings and never, not once, has a politician been treated like royalty. This is, after all, the United States of America and even politicians are, after all is said and done, just Americans. Sure, the Secret Service has a job to do protecting the selectee, but this is beyond the pale. Make way???? What in God's name do people think Obama is- the king? Reality check people- Obama is nothing but another politician running for office. Stand aside??? STAND ASIDE?????? Well given that the DNC, the bots and the media have been screaming and screeching for Hillary to step aside for months now I can see where the guards got the idea.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry! This is a farce! Coward Dean hand picks the least electable candidate in American history and the DNC by way of "THE RULES" committee anoints him! If it wasn't so scary it would be laughable!
Only one problem Mr. Dean (and you too Barky!) See, there are whole lot of us "bitter" type voters who WILL NOT stand aside or make way for an illegitimate candidate. Nope, I will not "stand aside", nor will I "make way." I am standing up for my country, for my candidate. I am standing in your way, Sen. Obama and there are millions of us. Annoying, us peasants, aren't we?? Especially when we believe in Democracy, the kind of Democracy where every vote counts. We are not as "low-information" as you and the press like to paint us.
We have the information, sirs, as does the RNC. We know who you are and what you are trying to do to our party and our country. We WILL NOT stand aside!
PUMA!
When I clicked on the link, I certainly did not expect to see on the first page of the article the following quote-
When the chat is over and the nominee strides toward the freight elevator to make his exit, his Secret Service agents brusquely shoo away Clinton’s aides: “Stand aside for Senator Obama! Make way for Senator Obama!”

Trolls and Hackers
In the past few days this blog has been victimized by a hacker. Where Flineo's wonderful videos were there appeared horrible anti-Hillary videos. I spent some time e-mailing back and forth with Flineo, whose work shows incredible talent.
In order to avoid having readers see the disgusting Obama propaganda, I have removed the video bar. The blog will be the poorer for it. Flineo has some great videos which I will from time to time embed in my posts. I am not willing to risk Flineo's reputation or my own by allowing hackers to seize control.
Mine is not the first or last blog to be subjected to attempted Obama control- be aware and fight back. If you are a blog owner, be vigilant. If you are a blog reader and see something that looks out of character, let the blog owner know by e-mail or in the comments. (I work and I noticed the take-over yesterday when I got home. I fixed it last night. Went to work today, came home and once again- hacked.)
Rest assured dear readers, I will NEVER. EVER. vote for the DNC selectee. I am a Democrat and a patriot, I believe in counting every vote. I believe in America and I believe in US the citizens. We CAN keep him out of office, one vote at a time!
PUMA!
And now for some of Flineo's finest! The REAL Flineo, who supports Hillary!
Are we getting it yet??? NOBAMA!
Think I don't mean it? Think again! you hackers and trolls just make it easier to vote AGAINST your master. I am not drinking any kool-aid!
Now, for all of you TRUE Democrats, the ones still able to think, the ones who never give up and never give in, who are still supporting Hillary- FIGHT BACK! All the way to Denver!
Party Unity My ASS!!!!

Out of the Mouths of Babes
I found this on Dems_Against_Obama and contacted the author for permission to reprint. This is one of the finest examinations of the sham selection of the Democratic nominee I have seen yet. Enjoy!
"Had to get this out. I hope you'll indulge me.
~~~
I like to think that I have led my life with distinction. I was raised by a single mother with little help. We were even on public assistance for a time. I have excelled in school since the very first day and now stand to graduate an esteemed high school with the rank of Salutatorian. I have friends of every race, every religion—and lack thereof, every political ideology, and sexual orientation. Even for love of a few stale jokes, you couldn’t truly believe that I hated someone because they were different from me. I wouldn’t and I can’t. Before this Democratic Primary, I’d never had the honor and the pleasure of being called a racist, a crybaby, or anyone’s psycho ex-girlfriend a la Glenn Close out of “Fatal Attraction.” It’s been a season of firsts.
I turned 18 in November. My first thought? Oh God, I have to vote. I hadn’t listened to the pundits, I didn’t even know who was running. Some Hispanic guy, some black guy, and the former First Lady of the United States; oh, and some other white guys. The only one I recognized was Edwards and my heart did an awful large thump for what could’ve been in 2004. (I hadn’t forgiven John Kerry for conceding Ohio, I still haven’t and he’s invoked my ire ever since.) Yet, it wasn’t John Edwards and his invincible haircut that caught my attention; it was the woman I had never noticed and the history I’d never cared about.
For the first time ever, I noticed Hillary Rodham Clinton outside of Bill Clinton’s shadow. I noticed a woman who dared to stand side-by-side on a stage with a large group of men and consider them her equal. I saw a woman who had a mind like a mantrap, who could recall facts like the kids I know can Google. I saw her make fools out of her competitors when they just didn’t know answers that came naturally to her. I was more than impressed.
Then, the season truly began and I saw Hillary Clinton lose Iowa. Then, I saw her win New Hampshire. Then I saw her lose some and win some on Super Tuesday. Best of all I got to watch somebody play the race card and somebody else be framed for doing it. Reminds me of a shirt a lot my friends have. There’s a cute white bunny on it and beneath the bunny it reads: “I did it, but I’m blaming you.”
Yep, that sounds about right. Do you know why Hillary Rodham Clinton won New Hampshire? According to one “political analyst,” or those who get paid to regurgitate what the Washington Post says verbatim, it was the Bradley effect. The Bradley effect takes place when polled likely voters claim they will vote for a minority candidate but fail to do as much when they are in the voting booth. The insinuation: closeted racism. That was just the first indication that this primary wasn’t going to be fair, but it was far from the last.
South Carolina came and the biggest double-edged sword to be forged came out full force and he went by the name of William Jefferson Clinton. He was a gift on the stump. He was all charm and down home sweetness, but he was a wonk and there was no denying that East Coast education. He was an asset to Hillary Clinton that could not be denied. So he had to be neutralized—and best believe that he was.
By February 15th, Bill Clinton barely dared to stick his head in view of a camera lest he be misquoted and vilified for the nineteenth time. Suddenly, the “first black president,” as coined by Toni Morrison, was the first KKKlan President. He and his wife, both with a lifetime of civil rights advocacy and battles behind them were outcasts in a community that once revered them. For what reason? What could he and his wife possibly gain by espousing racism after all this time?
Not.
A.
Thing.
What had made Hillary Clinton so formidable was the sheer size of her coalition. She had African-Americans, one of the most dependable voting blocks in the Democratic Party, she had working Americans who remembered what life under a Clinton was like. She had her determination and she was in it to win it. Nobody else was of any real consequence. That is, until the first-term Senator from Illinois stood up to bat.
…And the pieces came tumbling down.
He showed up. He spoke out loud. The masses—though not the majority—fell to their knees in awe. I didn’t. I was neither impressed nor fooled. The media was. The party leaders loved what he brought to the game. He had style, had new voters, he had money. Oh, they had tingles up and down their legs. This was February, around the time that I realized that the fix was in. Naively, I still hoped that things could change. I think that even Hillary did.
A string of bare defeats and incredible victories later, here we are. It’s June 8th, the day after Hillary Rodham Clinton has suspended her campaign for the presidency in order to endorse Barack Obama. I and many thousands—perhaps millions—of others are left without a leader. It isn’t as easy as saying “let Democrats be Democrats” and vote Democrat. What we’ve seen these last two months was far from Democratic. I’ve seen so many minority cards played that I can’t stand the card game anymore.
I’ve seen a distinguished Senator and beloved First Lady verbally molested in a fashion I would never allow if I were a producer on network or cable television. I’ve seen death threats leveled against her. I’ve seen more than a single man or woman say that all it would take was a good “doing over” for Hillary to see the light, whatever that proverbial light was. I’ve seen men laugh at her laugh. I’ve seen the nutcracker and boys who call themselves men talking about the way they gird their loins when she comes anywhere near them. I’ve seen those same boys where the masks of saints when she deigns to entertain their company only to sneer at her back on exit.
I’ve seen a party that has claimed as its mantle the interests of the people turn their noses up at their expressed desires in direct violation of their very own written rules. They’ve said, “We must respect the rules.” Why thank you, Alice Germond. Sadly, those rules state that they also should’ve respected the voters. (Rule 13 A of the Democratic Party Rules & Bylaws, entitled Fair Reflection of Presidential Preference, if any can be bothered recall.) But those weren’t the rules they were interested in and so weren’t the rules they followed. Democracy didn’t die the day we allowed the best President we would’ve ever known to leave history with no impression; it died the day that 30 people decided that their desires were more pressing than the expressed wishes of 600,000 people in Michigan and 1.7 million in Florida.
Until the very last primary I prayed that someone in the party would see sense. I even prayed they’d defend my candidate against the harsh, uneven criticism leveled against her by the media and her opponents. The problem wasn’t that she couldn’t defend herself; the problem was that she had to defend both herself and her opponent with her hands tied behind her back. Any historical fact—from the most trivial and benign to those even minutely inflammatory—became a gaffe and sandstorm. The news cycle for her was lost time and again to media-made monsoons of Tuzla (never-ending, I recall), to LBJ & JFK (true, however, it was), to RFK and his assassination on the 6th of June. She couldn’t win the day for losing because if it was folly, it made her a fool and if it was true, it was anyone and everyone’s dog whistle.
Her opponent didn’t and hasn’t faced that. I imagine he won’t. Now that the media has picked him—and the party leaders have gone along with it—they’re gonna have to save him from himself. By not vetting him or questioning his many “misspeaks” or gaffes, they’ve left the country to choose between the lesser of who-cares and why-should-I. They’re gonna have to cover their bottom lines.
They had a brilliant mind and an iron will. They turned her away.
They had an unbeatable candidate and a popular, voter-driven mandate. They said, “No, thanks.”
They had the White House in November, like they promised. They decided they wanted the hot, red car instead, with the dollar signs on the hood, something they can drive home and show their kids.
They wanted to be rich and cool. They didn’t need those poor working-class people to cramp their style. They didn’t want those Latinos, or Asians, or LGBT people, or the disabled, or the elderly, or the Jewish, or the Catholic people reminding them of how things used to be. They didn’t want to be reminded of those horrid “old politics.” You know, the kind espoused by the foolhardy Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the lackluster Harry Truman, by that truly despicable John F. Kennedy, and even further still by that disgustingly traitorous American Lyndon B. Johnson who fought for the Civil Rights Acts, bent arms and bent ears to bring it to life. He lost the South forever for the Democrats but brought morality back to the American consciousness, that loathsome toad. And how ever will we forget Robert F. Kennedy, who lived and died on his ideals, the ideals embraced by a generation and that saw their completion decades after his own senseless end. Damn those old politics, nothing good ever came of them. Guess it’s time to try something new.
Hope and change. Those very words have lit the torches and the candles of a dozen movements that have carried this country forward to where it is and I imagine that those words will carry many others in the future. Nevertheless, what no ones wishes to address or be caught addressing is the fact that “just words” will never change the world. If there is no mind to a movement, it becomes chaos or worse. What we have now is a war of “just words” that without distinction will be interpreted in any way our opponents see fit. What we have now is an opponent that is not impressed with just words that are pretty, and words that are light. We have an opponent who laughs at our sonnets and our metaphors, whose spirit does not lift with a good hymn, and a chant makes him punchy. We have an adversary who is all about “straight-talk.”
Hope and change will not deter him. Hope never put a dollar into an empty bank account. Change is the thing a struggling mother is looking for when the food stamps don’t cover Pampers and milk. Hope is what that same mother has when she can’t get out of bed, but she can’t miss work today—she just can’t! Change is what happens when she has to take her kids and sneak away from her apartment in the middle of the night because the change she used to buy the Pampers isn’t there to pay the rent.
Everyday Americans will just have to keep holding on for another term more. Democrats aren’t gonna save them like they promised. How do I know? I know because the “Democrat” they picked has exactly one hope in the hell of being elected. I’ve met the Republicans, most of America has—John Kerry has certainly met them. Thanks to them and their fair friends, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Senator Kerry hasn’t seen the inside of the White House save for on the Christmas tour, and he won’t ever again. That’s a common sentiment among Democrats—and no doubt will become familiar to the party’s “nominee.”
To quote the eminent Maxine Waters of California, “We don’t need hope, what we need is help.” Sadly, neither Representative Waters nor the rest of her Super Delegate compatriots are in any position to give us that help. They have done the politically expedient thing, they have spoken aloud and made themselves heard; they have covered their backs—and left us in the rain.
By 2012, most of them will still have their homes, unlike more than a million working-class Americans thanks to the foreclosure crisis.
Expect gas prices to get so expensive that working isn’t worth the cost anymore. Between gas, taxes, utilities, and—I don’t know—being alive, there’s just no sense in it. A living wage isn’t one if you can’t live on it, and everyday Americans can’t keep living like this.
Doctor? You don’t need no stinking doctor. You won’t have anything to live on during retirement anyway, so I wouldn’t plan to live that long. Haven’t you heard? Universal Healthcare Coverage is for other countries. Dying unnecessarily is an honor and a privilege in the United States. Get used to it.
As for global warming, I suggest you buy, in bulk, shorts and flip-flops. Don’t expect Al Gore to stick his neck out for you now. God knows there isn’t a Democrat left who will.
But what can I say? It’s evidently a great year to be a “Democratic” Party Leader. It’s just a really, really awful year to be a run-of-the-mill Democrat.

What Hillary Really Wants | SAVAGE POLITICS
If you, like me, were wondering what the hell Hillary's speech REALLY meant, check this out. I was having the worst time reconciling what Hillary has been saying for months, that Obama is not ready to be CIC and her appeals to the Supers that Obama can not win against her suspension speech.
Here is the answer!

He is the Selectee not the nominee
In all my wildest imaginings I never imagined that less than 24 hours after Hillary suspended her campaign some of her most ardent supporters would overdose on (as Pagan likes to put it) the Cult-Aide. I read and learned from a lot of these folks, they blogged and wrote and published diaries, they commented on various sites. These talented folks were fierce in their defense of Hillary as the best candidate and helped to bring the awful misogyny and outright lies of the Obots to light. These writers worked in place of the MSM which has forgotten journalism and deals in infotainment.
What the hell happened?? Overnight some of these Hillary supporters were transformed into Obots. Have the pod people taken over??? Did Santa miss my house when he made that special run to drop off all the back-ordered Unity Ponies???
WHOA- hold on, back the truck up! Not one single thing that we know about Barak Obama changed just because Hillary gave a speech! Sad, so sad. The very thing that many, many folks found disturbing in the bots- the mindless "following the leader" - is now being seen in rational, intelligent people who on Thursday and Friday were ABSOLUTELY convinced that Obama was NOT the nominee and that if nominated, he was not the legitimate candidate of the people.
Never having been a fan of mindless obedience to anybody, I spent these months of the primary researching the candidates so I could fulfill my civic obligation and cast an informed vote. What I found in Hillary was a candidate who embodied the Democratic ideals I value. What I found in Obama was the exact opposite.
The truth on Friday was that Obama has a very slim resume. He votes "present" more than he votes "yes" or "no," he voted FOR the Bush/Cheney energy bill. In order to begin his public career, he used a series of technicalities to get all opponents kicked off the ballot so he could run unopposed. (For any former Hill supporters whose absorption into the Borg is not yet complete- FOCUS! PAY ATTENTION! You know all this- try to remember.) He is involved in a shady deal with a convicted felon by the name of Rezko. Said deal allowed Obama and his wife to buy a mansion they could not afford. (Is this getting past the Borg blocks? Remember Rezko? The guy who let tenants in Obama's Illinois Senate district go without heat in the middle of a Chicago winter?) Try remembering this- Obama has a lunatic raving mad man pastor who rants- in church- G** D*** America. Same pastor accuses America of inventing Aids to infect the African American population. Surely you remember that Obama sat in that church for twenty years and denied ever hearing any of his pastor's Black Liberation Theology sermons. You can do it- I know you can- remember- Jeremiah Wright- Obama threw him under the bus when his poll numbers started crashing.
Ok- let's try an easy one, not too far in the past. Remember May 31st? The day the DNC and TEH RULES committee gave Obama 4 of Hillary's delegates? You know, the day that the DNC decided that the people in Fl and MI were only half people? No? Let me refresh your memory. The Obama campaign surrogates blocked revotes in FL and MI to undermine Hillary's momentum and to denigrate her and her supporters. On Friday, Obama was the "selected" not the nominee. He will never be the legitimate nominee.
So please people, I know it was dark and cold under the bus. Perhaps you were poisoned by the exhaust fumes. Breathe, breathe. NOTHING has changed- Obama is STILL the most unqualified candidate ever to run for the office of President of the United States of America. On Friday a good many of you were with us in our commitment to the truth, to intelligent decisions. Some of the best of you were very vocal in your derision of the mindless Bots who followed an empty promise. You wanted no part of the Unity Pony when it meant you had to compromise the party's core principles- you MUST remember the core principle of COUNT EVERY VOTE!
The empty-suit is STILL an empty suit. Nothing has changed. Obama did not become qualified because Hillary was forced to suspend her campaign. All of the horrible things we know about Obama and his unelectablity are still real. There is no magic wand that can make it go away.
Nothing has changed! Obama is the hand picked puppet of the DNC and is still the most unqualified candidate ever to run for office.

Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You
And so the media FINALLY begins to let the truth out about Obama. Less than 48 hours after the Precious declared himself the nominee (yet another of his many untruths by the way- there is NO NOMINEE until the convention) Christopher Wills of the AP published an article entitled "People who might complicate Obama's Campaign." He opens the piece with this line-
The Associated Press: People who might complicate Obama's campaign
Wills is providing a tease of what is to come- a preview of coming attractions so to speak. He mentions Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Emil Jones, Khalidi, Pfleger and good old Michelle 'I've never been proud of my country' Obama herself.
Now those of us who bothered to do our homework know exactly who all these slime balls are. We also know this is only a partial listing of Barack Obama's supporting characters. The full complement of skeletons have yet to fall clanking and moaning from Obama's closet. Wait til the press starts in on Odinga- Obama's murdering cousin who burned down Christian churches - with people inside- after he lost the presidential election in Kenya. Think it won't happen? - ABC very gently started covering Obama's African family- the black sheep relatives are not far behind. Oh and Auchi-Obama's billionaire, wanted by the Iraqi authorities friend, has yet to get much air time, but I assure you, he too will have his chance to be thrown under the bus. I am quite sure the Nation of Islam and their Anti-Semitic Anti-white Anti-America leader Farrakhan will get plenty of air time as well.
How about this ad entitled 'Obama's Money Man'
This one is just a trial shot over the bow; it will get worse if the DNC really does drive the bus over the cliff.
And so it begins. I am NOT SORRY! We tried and tried and tried to warn you. We posted facts, we posted links. We tried to show you that Obama is unelectable. Poll after poll after poll showed Hillary beating McCain and McCain beating Obama. We tried to tell you the media would turn on Obama. But no- like spoiled children you demanded and threw tantrums. You did NOT want the truth- you wanted "hope" and "change." We TOLD you the nedia and the RNC wanted Obama because they know he just can not compete with a true American patriot.
Well, the truth is about to bite your candidate in the ass. Soon the media dogs will turn on Obama, chew him up and spit him out for the poisonous piece of rotten Chicago meat that he is. All America will know, in plenty of time for the November election, just what kind of a crooked, vote stealing, woman hating racist the DNC is trying to shove down our throats. And the Democrats will lose- again.
Don't say we didn't warn you.
Who's Tony Rezko? William Ayers? Few Americans know, but they probably will by Election Day.

Buck Naked Politics: DNC Devises Plan to Stand Firm Against Lobbyists — While Taking their Money
Well here is the truth- the DNC has been outed. It is ALL about $$$$$$! Saying the DNC will follow "Obama Rules" about campaign contributions is a joke. Remember the lesson I gave a few months ago??? Bundled Money IS lobbyist is special interest money. Make no mistake about it- the lobbyists wives will be donating, the lobbyist firms will be donating, the lobbyists employees will be co-erced into donating. It is ALL special interest money- desinged to BUY VOTES!

Read and remember! Obama was selected- not elected!

My Message to Hillary- ON TO DENVER!
I just finished watching Hillary's speech. So many moving points in the speech, but I did distinctly hear her say she would make her decision going forward based on what is best for "our COUNTRY and our party." NOT the other way around! She clearly put the needs of the country, and we, the people, before the party. And that is as it should be, America first!
Hillary wants to hear from us, her supporters, as she weighs her options. http://www.hillaryclinton.com/splash/sdmt/ I am 100% for Hillary taking it to Denver as are many who were fortunate enough to be in the audience tonight. Here is my message to Hillary.
Please, Sen. Clinton, for the sake of our country- DON'T QUIT!
Don't Quit
Author Unknown
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!
God bless you!
Now please- everybody go to her website and let her know we want the candidate that won the popular vote, the candidate who won more votes than any other candidate, ever! Anything can happen, more skeletons can and will fall out of that overstuffed closet of Obama's. The electoral map shows who can win in November, Let our candidate know we want the most qualified, most electable candidate. We want Hillary in the WHite House! Let her know we will support her to Denver and beyond! She is the ONLY candidate who truly is listening to us- let her hear us roar!

A false prophet falls from grace
Well, well- there is still some tiny fraction of justice left in the world. Cardinal George has removed that horrible priest, Fr. Pfleger, from his post at St. Sabina's parish in Chicago. The Cardinal's action is a direct result of Fr. Pfleger's insulting rant against Hillary Clinton which he delivered from the pulpit of Trinity United Church.
Kara Spak in the Chicago SunTimes on line edition article calls Fr. Pfleger "the firebrand pastor." I call him an insensitive boor who is teaching Liberation Theology- a doctrine the Church in no way approves.
Read Kara's article at-
http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/religion/985091,pfleger060308.article
The Cardinal's statement-
I hope and pray that Fr. Pfleger never, ever disgraces a pulpit again. I congratulate and thank the Cardinal for taking this long overdue step to discipline this rogue priest. I pray Fr. Pfleger spends his time "reflecting" on his perverse use of his position for self-aggrandizement and truly repents of the sin he has committed against one of the greatest Democratic women ever to grace our country. I hope Fr. Pfleger spends some time re-acquainting himself with the Word of God, which he has perverted. Here are some verses I think Fr. Pfleger should "reflect" on- from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah- chapter 44-
Surely this ignorant priest has spoken up for the idol makers and now he is shamed. Oh yes, Cardinal George, I will pray, unceasingly, day and night, for sanity to return to our country and for the false god Obama and all his minions to be brought down in terror as behooves those who create idols and lead the people astray.

The Cardinal's statement-
STATEMENT OF FRANCIS CARDINAL GEORGE, O.M.I.,
ARCHBISHOP OF CHICAGO
June 3, 2008
To put recent events in some perspective, I have asked Father Michael Pfleger, Pastor of St. Sabina’s Parish, to step back from his obligations there and take leave for a couple of weeks from his pastoral duties, effective today. Fr. Pfleger does not believe this to be the right step at this time. While respecting his disagreement, I have nevertheless asked him to use this opportunity to reflect on his recent statements and actions in the light of the Church’s regulations for all Catholic priests. I hope that this period will also be a time away from the public spotlight and for rest and attention to family concerns.
I hope also that the life of St. Sabina’s parish may continue in uninterrupted fashion. Fr. William Vanecko, Pastor of St. Kilian’s parish, will be temporary administrator of St. Sabina’s and will assure the full complement of ministerial services during this period. I ask the members of St. Sabina’s parish to cooperate with him and to keep him and Fr. Pfleger in their prayers. They are in mine.
I hope and pray that Fr. Pfleger never, ever disgraces a pulpit again. I congratulate and thank the Cardinal for taking this long overdue step to discipline this rogue priest. I pray Fr. Pfleger spends his time "reflecting" on his perverse use of his position for self-aggrandizement and truly repents of the sin he has committed against one of the greatest Democratic women ever to grace our country. I hope Fr. Pfleger spends some time re-acquainting himself with the Word of God, which he has perverted. Here are some verses I think Fr. Pfleger should "reflect" on- from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah- chapter 44-
9 All who make idols are nothing,
and the things they treasure are worthless.
Those who would speak up for them are blind;
they are ignorant, to their own shame.
10 Who shapes a god and casts an idol,
which can profit him nothing?
11 He and his kind will be put to shame;
craftsmen are nothing but men.
Let them all come together and take their stand;
they will be brought down to terror and infamy.
Surely this ignorant priest has spoken up for the idol makers and now he is shamed. Oh yes, Cardinal George, I will pray, unceasingly, day and night, for sanity to return to our country and for the false god Obama and all his minions to be brought down in terror as behooves those who create idols and lead the people astray.

Voter Fraud committed by the DNC
The voter fraud committed yesterday by the DNC's ROOLZ committee is being blogged to the max today. So many good posts, so little time. I caught the following post at Delilah Boyd's blog- must read this! She relates the committee giving Obama votes NOT CAST for him, votes cast explicitly FOR Sen Clinton, to one of the most shameful incidents in American History- the Dredd Scott decision.
Delilah Boyd
Pagan Power has quite a few great posts on this issue and I hope they will appear here very shortly, but until then, please go to Pagan's blog and read the article she wrote where she shows that a 1/2 vote is even worse than the 3/5 the slave owners were allowed to count for their representation.

Nope Mr. Dean, not gonna happen- forget Unity, forget us all coming together, no Kumbaya for you or for your minions.
We are Americans and try as you might to shove an unqualified fraud down our throats, the American people are not gonna buy the snake oil you're selling.
See you in Denver you pigs!

Barack Obama is the first first candidate to ever, in the history of America, be handed
1) votes that never occurred,
2) votes that were cast for someone else, and
3) delegates won by another candidate.
Barack Obama will forever and deservedly go down in history as the first Affirmative Action Candidate for the President of the United States. Too bad it doesn't work that way in General Elections. In General Elections, the DNC doesn't get to count people who didn't vote and decide who they might have voted for if they had voted. That would be something a Marxist State would do.
In spite of Howard Dean's fantasy that "This is the beginning of uniting the party," it's not gonna happen Howie..

Obama’s Modern Times
May 26th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I am a PATRIOT not a racist!
As I was reading the various Memorial Day posts and composing my own blog the Patriotism of the authors and their love for our country came shining through.
During the course of this campaign I have been called some foul names by Obama supporters on various sites; the most hurtful to me was being called a racist. Over and over and over I see the Obama camp playing the race card and I am stunned. Everywhere I go on the web I see it- when a poster declares for Hillary and says they will not vote Obama, ever, they are condemned by the Obamaniacs as racists.
Well I am not a racist! I am a PATRIOT! I love my country and I fear Obama is up to no good. I am not sure he feels about our country as we, the typical, rural, gun clinging, Bible thumping average Americans feel. His wife has surely made herself understood- she thinks America is mean and has never before been proud of her country. We have all by now heard his lunatic "former" pastor ranting and raving about G*** D**** America.
I have learned of Obama's association with Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Kahlidi, Odinga and others and I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that Obama aligns himself with others whose thinking and attitudes he endorses or shares.
I saw the photo of Obama with the other candidates on stage. You know the one where he does not put his hand over his heart?
So Obama fans- I have done my research and drawn my conclusions. I DO NOT trust your candidate to do what is right for our country. If we dare to ask what his position on an issue might be, the only answer Obama supporters can give is we must be racists.
NOT! The word, from now on, is PATRIOT! If the DNC drives the bus off the cliff, I won't be on that bus because Obama threw me under it a long time ago. If Dean and Brazile and the DNC manage to coronate the most unelectable candidate of my lifetime I will be campaigning for Mccain. It is my patriotic duty.
Oh- and Barack- in case this lowly little blog comes to your attention, please watch the video- you will find there-in the proper etiquette for the National Anthem displayed by TWO former Presidents!

Memorial Day Thank You
Today, Memorial Day, is a day for remembering the sacrifice made by our troops past and present. My sister is a veteran and my son and daughter-in-law are active duty career military. Our troops embody the best of America; vowing to protect and defend the Constitution, working every day to keep us safe and defend our freedom. Today's troops follow in the footsteps of millions who gave the ultimate sacrifice. They sign up knowing the dangers yet realizing that freedom is not free. Below is Hillary's Memorial Day statement.
5/26/2008 Hillary's Statement on Memorial Day Memorial Day is a solemn day for every American; a day to express our profound gratitude to the men and women who have given their lives in military service. A day to join in our thoughts and prayers with the families mourning loved ones. A day to cherish the freedoms and opportunities that so many have served, sacrificed, and died to defend.On this Memorial Day, I’m reminded of the words of a poet and a veteran named Archibald MacLeish. He served in World War I and witnessed incredible service and sacrifice. Before the close of World War II, to commemorate those who had died, he wrote of the responsibility of all of us who survive them. In his poem entitled “The Young Dead Soldiers Do Not Speak,” he reminds us that those we have lost: “have a silence that speaks for them at night…They say: We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done…They say: our deaths are not ours; they are yours; they will mean what you make them…They say: we leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.” How do we give these lives their meaning? I believe we must honor our service members by doing our best to serve the men and women who have served us. And I believe we must honor the lives we’ve lost by honoring the values for which they fought. That is our duty. And on this Memorial Day, let us recommit ourselves to fulfilling this sacred responsibility every single day. The United States has the finest military on the planet because we have the best soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen in the world. We owe them our support and resources while in-service and when they come home as our Veterans. We owe them a GI Bill of Rights that sees to their health care, housing, education and overall wellbeing. In many ways, everyday should be Memorial Day to honor and remember all they do for our nation, our communities and our families. Our moral obligation is significant for the simple reason that the sacrifice of those who serve and have served in our military demonstrates a profound example of commitment and love for our nation. We must return to them all they have given and we must remember and honor those who gave their all, their lives, for our great nation. "A profound example of commitment and love for our nation." What happened to this sentiment? I am old enough to remember childhood Memorial Day parades- we decorated our bikes with crepe paper and attached flags to the handle bars before we were old enough to be officially in the parade. When we got older, we marched with our Scout Troops, the greatest honor was to be chosen as the Flag bearer. Patriotism wasn't corny- it just WAS! Men removed their hats and both Moms and Dads put their hands over their hearts when the flag passed by (and by golly taught their children to do the same!) We were raised with the knowledge that America is the greatest nation on earth, the land of opportunity; a place where everybody could 'make it' if you just tried! We respected the service and sacrifice of our military; we understood that our veterans were the ones who made America possible. How is it that today, in 2008, we can have a candidate for President who does not know the basics of putting his hand over his heart for the flag and the Anthem? Hey Barack- watch this video and see how it's done- the vocalists are the young men and women who serve our country so well! A candidate who for twenty years listened to a PASTOR ranting "G** D*** America", raving and calling our wonderful country the U. S. of KKKA? A candidate for the highest office in the land who has a long term relationship with an America hating self-admitted, unrepentant domestic terrorist? A candidate whose wife has called this country "mean" and said she had never been proud of her country. A candidate whose cousin in Kenya tried to overturn, by violence, the results of an election he lost. Perhaps the candidate should remind his buddies that he has gotten this far BECAUSE this IS America- where even a candidate with such Anti-American friends can run for office. As little as a generation ago, he would never have made it this far. Back in the day when journalism was about investigating and reporting the truth, Obama would have been sent packing back to the hole he crawled out of after the first of his Anti-American connections was exposed. Fortunately, most Americans love our country and have not and will not vote to put that man in office. I truly believe that most residents of this wonderful country want a patriot in the White House. I have never heard one person say they were not voting for Obama because of his skin color (though I am sadly aware they exist,)I have heard many many hundreds in person and on blogs, who say they will not vote for him because of his Anti-American associates. Maybe instead of calling all the working class folks who voted for Hillary 'racists' the media should recognize it for what it is- Patriotism and unadulterated love of our country! Hillary Clinton has stood solidly supporting our troops and has proposed a new G.I. Bill of Rights to ensure today's service members receive the benefits they have earned. Read the proposal at Hillary's website- http://tinyurl.com/4fcklg Today I want to join Hillary and millions of other Americans and say "Thank You" to all our service members and their families, past and present. We must never forget! And here is one of my favorites! The sentiment that truly reflects the feelings of most Americans!
