Forget governing, the focus is on artificial diversity.

November 30th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , , , ,

In this brave new world of the so-called “post-racial” inhabitant of the newly created (and official-sounding) “Office of the President Elect”, it would appear that “post-racial” means focusing on race and artificial diversity. I suppose “up” will mean “down” in Obama-speak, but on the bright side we can expect “Big Brother” Barry to bring the nation “up.”

The politics of division have not diminished with the election of Barack Obama. It would seem that they will only be magnified and celebrated… in the name of unity (aka division.) Yesterday’s Washington Obamost had an article which highlighted the artificial diversity focus.

“Minority Advocates Watching Obama”

The president-elect has already signaled that he will make a number of historic appointments. Obama is poised to nominate the first black attorney general and one of the nation’s highest-profile women as its chief diplomat. A Hispanic governor is the leading candidate to become commerce secretary.

But as Jarrett recognized early, every appointment he makes to the 15-member Cabinet reduces by one the opportunities he has to make sure another group is represented. It is a zero-sum game that leaves presidents with little wiggle room.

“There are huge expectations on him because he’s the first black president, the first civil rights lawyer, the first president with an Arab middle name,” said Ben Jealous, president of the NAACP.

Identity politics are front and center in The Elliptical Office (the name I am giving The Office of the President Elect.) As an aside, has there ever been a more appropriate name for the president of an organization that seeks special treatment based on race than Ben Jealous?

We are expected to focus on race, ethnicity, and gender (while ignoring that there have been a couple of female Secretaries of State, including a black female) and applaud every appointment that can be shown to be based on identity politics. Given that cabinet positions are to be filled in accordance with a quota system and not necessarily based on the best qualifications, I think there are some groups that risk being unfairly overlooked. Since the forced diversity will be trumpeted, let us compare the actions of the Elliptical Office to the “NEA’s Diversity Toolkit.”

Main Issues

The absence of social justice results in social oppression. Racism, sexism, ageism, classism, ableism, and heterosexism are some forms of social oppression in society. Societies and individuals form hierarchies of oppression in which certain types of oppression are addressed and others are not. Oppression of certain groups or individuals can result in social or legal exclusion, discrimination, inequitable distribution of resources, and emotional and physical consequences.

We know that the inhabitant of the newly constructed Elliptical Office is beholden to the NEA and given his work with domestic terrorist William Ayers on “education reform”, is concerned about social justice, it would appear that he still has some work to do. There are “isms” listed above that may not have been addressed yet in Grand Chancellor Elect Obama’s appointments. We have heard the applause for his focus on racism and sexism. One can argue that his use of Clintonite retreads satisfies the ageism requirement.

Classism will likely go unanswered as Barack Obama indicated at the posh San Francisco fundraiser, that he is an elitist. He might register some members of lower class to vote and exploit their condition for political gain in loyal Alinsky-ite fashion, but no cabinet member will truly represent a lower class. Maybe he can find another elitist former “community organizer” to satisfy the PC/Diversity police.

Ableism is a sticky issue. The fact that he has the Clinton retreads might lend to the argument that he has appointed people with mental and character deficiencies, but I am not sure these will appease the portion of the PC/Diversity Police. This issue is even further complicated by the left’s apparent desire to prevent people with disabilities from being born (or maybe this is just an excuse they use to further their “an abortion in every pot” cause.)

Heterosexism should not go ignored because recent news indicates this particular issue is all the rage! The Elliptical Office will risk losing its luster if it does not make special efforts to engage in sexual preference-based pandering. Assuming there aren’t any interested cross-dressers or that the pregnant man is too busy to participate, “Big Brother” might look to the House of Representatives for the answer. Rep. Barney Frank would provide a two-fer, not only is he a homosexual, but his leadership in protecting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from prying eyes would make him a logical fit as Barack Obama’s HUD Secretary.

Of course I will be called extremist and hateful for my expression of distaste at this wasteful and divisive approach to personnel decisions. It is unfortunate that in modern society, the conventional wisdom forbids the judging and selection of people based on their merits.

Victory Automobiles?

November 28th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , , ,

The full extent of federal government meddling remains to be seen. Given the recent demonstrations of our irresponsible government’s lust for control of the private sector coupled with the poor decisions made by 52% of the nation’s voters, it is hard to imagine that there will be any upper (or is it lower?) limit to the metastasis of the tumor otherwise known as the federal government. Perhaps there will one day be no Charmin to squeeze pursuant to federal regulations that limit toilet paper thickness and quality to please the environmentalist left. It won’t matter if fingers get soiled due to sub-par TP as long as the luxurious decadence of soft and absorbent TP is not enjoyed by tree-hating citizens… and as long as the unfortunate wiper doesn’t use too much water or any polluting soap in cleaning those fingers.

I wonder how many people ever stop to consider the consequences of this unchecked growth? Certainly there would be some, a portion of the feckless fifty two (FFT) percent, who would not mind any government intrusion as long is it meant a lessened personal responsibility. I would bet these people will still desire individual rights even without individual responsibility. Imagine the emotional state of the portion of the FFT that slowly come to realize that their thoughtless casting of votes and contributions in the direction of undefined “hope” and fuzzy “change” have led to unintended consequences in the form of government controls in their own lives. The power players in the FFT will likely feel no ill effects as they will not have to suffer under the programs they support for “the good of the people.” It is tragic, but not surprising that the most culpable of the FFT will avoid the misery they impose.

The seemingly endless supply of magical government cash that is being approved to “save” our struggling economy flows from a secret money spring on Fantasy Island and there are no strings attached to the generosity of the flitting fairies that control the flow with a pinch of Pixie Dust. At least I hope this is the case, otherwise there might be, what’s the word? Oh yes, consequences! Let us set aside the abundant bail outs for a moment and turn our attention to something equally frightening, the agenda set forth by:

Grand Chancellor Elect Barack Obama has grand plans to increase government dependence with a dash of nationalization of industry to combat the problems of energy consumption and unemployment. Of course we, the bitter masses are not to concern ourselves with the origins of the revenue required for “Big Brother” Barry’s plans (perhaps it will be the previously mentioned stream) as it is part of the “change” for which we are expected to “hope.” Any means to “Big Brother” Barry’s ends will be justified as long as he can impose upon the electorate in such a way that he is able to realize his goals.

The Obama-Biden comprehensive New Energy for America plan will:

  • Help create five million new jobs by strategically investing $150 billion over the next ten years to catalyze private efforts to build a clean energy future.
  • Within 10 years save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined.
  • Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars — cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon — on the road by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure are built here in America.
  • Ensure 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025.
  • Implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.

The fact that Jesse Jackson is trumpeting this subject should provide a series of red flags for the thinking observer. In a November 25 column in The Chicago Sun-Times, Jackson portrays Obama as a Michael Jordan of government dynasties.

It’s crunch time, and nobody wants the ball — except the student of basketball, President-elect Barack Obama. He realizes he can’t wait until January. So Monday, he announced his economic team and rolled out his commitment to a major recovery program, said to be $700 billion over two years or more. He chose experienced pros — Lawrence Summers, former Treasury secretary, and Tim Geithner, the current head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank — to head his economic team. He has announced that he will hit the ground running in January. Stock markets across the world responded. The star player stood up, demanded the ball, and said he’d try to make the play.

That’s half the battle, but only half. Just as in basketball, demanding the ball isn’t enough. You’ve got to make the shot, or make the assist so another can make it. The question now is whether Obama’s plans will score — whether they are big enough to meet the challenge that we face.

Consider the auto industry. Obama has called for coming to the industry’s aid, but has said that any help must come with conditions. Those conditions will surely include accelerating the move to hybrid and electric vehicles, part of a major drive to reduce our dependence on foreign oil while dealing with the threat of global warming.

But to be competitive, the automakers need more than a bridge loan. U.S. companies spend more per car on health care than on steel. Foreign competitors don’t have the burden. As a senator, Obama introduced a bill suggesting that the government take over the costs of health care for the retired in exchange for greater movement on gas mileage efficiency.

So Reverend Jackson believes that the government should dip into it’s magical money stream and chuck some cash in the direction of the UAW in order to jump-start the economy. Of course the slam dunk will involve socialized medicine (at least for retired auto-workers), strict mileage mandates (to please the enviro-marxist constituency), a mandate to produce plug-in vehicles (which will need to be powered by hope and change since nuclear and coal electricity generation are taboo in the all-knowing leftist Shangri-la.) I wonder if the health care costs are what bothers Reverend Jackson, or if he is really just upset that the car companies don’t get hit harder on steel pricing? When the inauguration is over and the after-glow has begun to dim, maybe he can shake-down the steel companies with threats of demonstrations unless they raise their prices.

A thinking person, or anti-FFT, will be curious how the American automotive industry will suddenly become profitable once they get a “bridge loan” that carries expensive conditions and are relieved of healthcare costs for retirees. We need not rack our brains to find the hidden logic. It isn’t there. Adding a debt to the government and further regulation and restrictions is a recipe for failure. The notion of taking over the healthcare of the retirees is little more than another leap toward the total implementation of socialized medicine in our great country. The automakers will be almost guaranteed to fail and there will be a large group of people added to the ranks of those dependent upon the government for healthcare. The failings of the automotive companies are likely to prompt further government involvement and who knows, maybe the next step will be socialized healthcare coverage for UAW members.

What if there is no secret money stream on “Fantasy Island?” What if the bail-outs, “green-jobs”, socialized medicine, etc. have to be paid for by the taxpayers? What if more and more of us are escorted into the web of government dependence as taxes grow beyond our capacity to pay them and still provide for ourselves? What if the incremental interferences of the government in businesses result in nationalization of several industries such as automotive, oil, or news distribution?

Fret not, the majority has spoken and they, the FFT would not mind if we one day car-pool to our government jobs in “Victory Automobiles” while listening to MSNBC radio (the official government approved news source… and only one on the air) and enjoying “Obama Cheese” sandwiches produced from milk processed in a former Exxon refinery.

At Least He Isn’t Our Senator Now

November 16th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , , , , , ,

If there is a silver lining for the citizens of Illinois in the wake of the national tragedy that struck on November 4, 2008, it is that (temporarily) we no longer have two despicable excuses for United States Senators. I realize that our governor will do his best (what normal people would refer to as worst) to replace Grand Chancellor Elect Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama with someone who will rival Detestable Dick Durbin in libiot legislative carnage, but for now I choose to look at the bright side.

Illinois no longer has a senator that began his political climb by kissing the ring of domestic terrorist William Ayers, who coincidentally is having his book re-released. Isn’t it sweet that in addition to having access to the minds of the students whose parents send to U of I Chicago, this festering sore on the face of humanity is going to profit from the election of Obama. Is that what they mean by historic, for the first time in our history a presidential election serves as a relaunch for the memoirs of a terrorist? Is it safe to assume that even though Barack Obama will be the main selling point for new copies of the terrorist’s narcissistic writings, that he will not receive a share of the royalties? Perhaps in the name of spreading the wealth around, Obama’s rightful share can be donated to ACORN for the purposes of corpse registering.

We are now free to move beyond the embarrassment of having elected Barack Obama as our senator. Unfortunately, Illinois’ gain is the nation’s loss. I wonder if Tony Rezko can get a hold of any property adjacent to The White House in case the Obama’s want to increase the size of their new yard. Can one purchase property while in prison or would “Big Brother” Barry have to pardon Rezko in order to get the good deal?

As I have written previously, we in Illinois can also hope that the Grand Chancellor Elect will help clean up our state. Again, this clean up would be only temporary (four or God forbid, eight years) and come at great cost to the nation as a whole. This particular clean up would involve draining the cesspool that spawns Illinois (Chicago) Democrat politicians and transplanting them in Washington D.C. If this is to happen, perhaps he can drain Madison County’s cesspool as well. Can we hope that Governor Blagojevich is refraining from appointing himself as Obama’s successor in order to make himself available for a cabinet position? It would be a bad deal for The United States of America… but Illinois would be rid of another embarrassment.

The Obama’s will have to find a church in the D.C. area to attend, at least for the next four years since after the 2012 election he can drop what I believe is a pretense of faith for the purpose of political gain. The Grand Chancellor Elect is fortunate that he will only have four years in his new church so if the pastor spews the same sort of hate as his former pastor, his denials of having ever heard any of it will be more plausible. After all, four years of attending a church and not hearing the sermons is more believable than twenty plus years of the same, is it not? We can hope his new pastor will not utter the words, “God damn America!

It is a beautiful, cool Autumn day here in Southern Illinois. It is the kind of day that is conducive to feeling good and optimistic. I am trying to take advantage of the nice day to briefly reflect on the type of U.S. Senator that should replace Grand Chancellor Elect Obama. CNNPolitics.com has a piece that at least partially displays the model I would prefer Governor Blagojevich follow when making his upcoming decision.

MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (CNN) – South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint on Friday became one of the first high-profile Republicans to publicly criticize John McCain following his electoral defeat, blaming the Arizona senator for betraying conservative principles in his quest for the White House.

The conservative senator, speaking to a group of GOP officials gathered in Myrtle Beach at a conference on the future of the Republican Party, described how the party had strayed from its own “brand,” which, according to DeMint, should represent freedom, religious-based values and limited government.

“We have to be honest, and there’s a lot of blame to go around, but I have to mention George Bush, and I have to mention Ted Stevens, and I’m afraid I even have to mention John McCain,” he said.

DeMint offered a long list of complaints about McCain’s record in the Senate and on the campaign trail.

I realize how unlikely it is that Gov. Rod Blagojevich would extract his head from it’s dark and foul smelling normal resting place and appoint someone like Jim DeMint to the Senate. As I stated previously, it is the kind of day that is conducive to dreaming and didn’t Obama, himself campaign on “hope?” Perhaps a political miracle will be performed and our governor will do the right thing for once. In the spirit of hope and dreams I offer the following as a suggestion for the governor’s consideration:

Obama Seeks Senate Upgrade?

November 7th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , , , , , ,

Is there an Office of the President Elect? Mike Church was talking about Change.gov and The Chosen One’s apparent office creation this morning on his wonderful radio show on Sirius Patriot 144. If there is an Office of the President Elect, is it possible that he could just stay there and spare our nation four to eight years of Hell? A quick note about Change.gov, it is a good idea to visit it if you ingest poison and need to induce vomiting. It looks like the Obamoron web people spritzed up Barack Obama’s campaign web-site and tried to give it an official-sounding name.

Today “Big Brother” stood behind a podium adorned with a sign that actually read, “The Office of the President Elect!”

The arrogance of this man is only exceeded by the rabid adoration of his mentally ill supporters (or is that redundant?) Will he wait until his second inauguration to change the name of his office to something more catchy like “Grand Chancellor of the U.S.S.A.” out of fear that there are still enough sane voters that even his private media outlets couldn’t get him re-elected if he changed the name too soon? Certainly “President of the U.S.A.” is too common for the man who exceeds all that has ever been… at least in his own estimation.

Now to examine some positive effects of this tragic election. At least two Senate seats currently held by libiots will be vacated. While it is true that the governors of Delaware and my own unfortunate state, Illinois will replace the Grand Chancellor Elect and Vice Grand Poobah Elect with two more libiots, at least our two states will have each have one less libiot hanging around and ruining things on a local level for the next two years. (In case you haven’t noticed, optimism is my specialty.)

I caught a few minutes of The Grand Chancellor Elect’s fan club Q & A this afternoon and FOX News had a caption that read something along the lines of, “Obama seeks a capable replacement in The Senate.” I found it quite refreshing that Barack Obama cares enough about Illinois to request an upgrade in our offerings to The Senate. From cbs2chicago.com:

“This is the governor’s descision (sic), it is not my deicsion (sic), and I think the criteria I would have for my successor would be the same criteria I would have as a voter,” Obama said, citing passion and a commitment to the working families of Illinois as among the most important qualities.

Obama has “a passion and commitment to the working families of Illinois?” That’s a relief, I thought the only reason he decided to go to Chicago to begin his political career is that he followed domestic terrorist and potential Secretary of Education, William Ayers there from Columbia University! Perhaps he has “a passion and commitment to” eliminating employment opportunities for “the working families of Illinois” in order to create the dependence required for his desired level of totalitarian control.

Since I’ve been following politics, Illinois hasn’t sent a capable person to The Senate, but hey, why not start now? Dick Durbin was just re-elected so a capable replacement for Barack Obama would give us in Illinois a grand total of one capable senator. Lets not kid ourselves, Barack Obama was never really a U.S. Senator, he used his seat strictly as a stepping stone to the Grand Chancellorship.

There is also the possibility that Grand Chancellor Elect Obama will raid Chicago’s corruption… I mean political machine for staff and cabinet appointments. He already tapped Scum Emanuel to be Chief of Staff (or mob enforcer.) We can hope, as citizens of Illinois, that he will make our state a temporarily reasonable state by moving some of our worst liabilities to Washington D.C. Of course the entire nation stands to suffer at the hands of this man and his Chicago machine cronies, but I am looking for any positive thread here. If he takes Ayers and Dorhn with him, that will be two fewer terrorists in Illinois!

If I could make a plea to Grand Chancellor Elect Obama, it would be to find some post for Governor Rod “Hair Helmet” Blagojevich. If we could be rid of this excuse for a governor, that would indeed be “change we could believe in!”

Grown-ups Against Obama

November 2nd, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , , , ,

The tidal wave of support for the absolute worst presidential candidate in my lifetime is thought provoking as well as alarming. What motivates a person to honestly believe in the promise of Barack Obama? What is the promise of Barack Obama? Will the Obama media machine’s slick sales pitch to the irresponsible provide a return on the (largely undisclosed) investments?

I believe a large portion of the mindless support for the Marxist who must not be identified accurately (at least according to his apologists) stems from a childish narcissism. It makes sense that Obama’s global unity rhetoric would appeal to people who believe they are the axis about which the globe revolves. Obama and his surrogates have been adept at striking the right chords with those that feel they are owed something. The sense of victim-hood has been magnified, manipulated, and targeted by the Obammunists. Who is responsible to meet the needs (real or perceived) of these people? Who owes these narcissists what they believe they are due?

While I never would have supported the brutal killing of innocent babies, as Obama supporters do (although I’m sure many of them block this nasty tidbit from their minds), I spent approximately 2/3 of my life developing a narcissistic mentality similar to that displayed by the Obamabots. The first 2/3 of my life was unpleasant and I felt entitled to something better. I was raised in environment where I learned to put my own wants above all else. No, I wasn’t taught this directly, but indirectly through the actions and attitudes in my environment. It should surprise no one that this environment was filled with the type of Democratic voters who thought Republicans meant “big business.” It should also surprise no one that these Democratic voters enjoyed their many self-indulgences (even the ones they couldn’t afford) due to the fact that they were indirectly employed because of the hated “big business.”

In my misery, I felt like there should be more for me. I believed that people with good jobs already had enough and should share. If somebody had something that I would like to have, I was jealous. I couldn’t find an easy way to get what I wanted out of life. I was miserable and felt victimized by those that had success. My focus on myself led to near self-destruction.

I was lucky. I met the woman that would be my wife and began to grow-up. I began to see the value of self-reliance and individual responsibility. When my wife became pregnant with our first child I became fully aware of exactly who was responsible to meet my needs (and wants) as well as the needs of the family we had created!

My wife had a college education and a job. I had a low-paying job that I hated. So I decided to do something that an Obamabot would likely never dream of doing. I took responsibility for the future of myself and my family. I went back to school and eventually got a better job. I sought increasing responsibility at work and this coupled with my achievement of a B.S. degree, allowed me to attain an engineering position. During this time I also converted to Catholicism which filled a gap in my life.

In short, I grew up. I didn’t ask taxpayers to provide for my future. It might shock the libiot Obamorons that the misery abated as I accepted responsibility. Another benefit of growing into self-reliance was a new generosity of spirit. I found that once I stopped expecting to receive, I actually felt inspired to give.

I hope the grown-up voters can overcome the narcissistic child voters Tuesday. Obama proposes to make it nearly impossible to follow the path I took. It will certainly be harder for people to grow up and be responsible for themselves when Obama’s job killing dreams are realized.

Barack Obama, Thief of Dreams

October 30th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , , , ,

He wrote a book call “Dreams From My Father.” He campaigns on a platform of “hope and change.” He is no mere candidate. He is an iconic figure to libiots around the globe. The fans of “Big Brother” Barry have either fallen victim to his “Rules For Radicals” tactics or are indeed the vile elitists that intend to profit from the coming oppression of the working man. The crowds with their “village idiot” yells, as Mike Church calls them, don’t seem to realize that they are cheering for a proponent of slavery. He is not the vessel of “hope” portrayed by his campaign surrogates (i.e. The Washington Obamost or MSNBC.) He is Barack Obama, Thief of Dreams!

If one listens to, or reads the words of “The One” with an intellectually honest state of mind, there can be no doubt that if his magnificent plans were to be realized, the common man would be enslaved into a hopeless existence. Our limitations will be artificially set by an all-powerful oppressor in Washington D.C… or will Barack Obama follow the example of fellow Chicago Political Machine alum, Illinois Governor Rod “Hair Helmet” Blagojevich and basically “work” out of Chicago? Perhaps this would be best since Obama’s advisors already have roots in the libiot cesspool of northern Illinois. Domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers can set Department of Education policy from the comfort of his indoctrination post at University of Illinois, Chicago.

Slavery would seem like an outrageous description of the potential condition of the American citizen but then again, Obama’s oppressive proposals are nothing if not outrageous! Is it not slavery to work for a master, who will decide who benefits from one’s labor? If the federal government is to meet Barack Obama’s stated goal of “spreading the wealth around” or his ideal of “redistributive change” (as stated in the 2001 interview the Obama media isn’t sharing), it will have to take the role of master to the citizen slaves. Will it be left to ”Big Brother” Barry or one of his ministries to decide what amount of a working man’s labor should be seized to redistribute in the name of prole control? We, the proletariat will indeed require controlling, lest we rise on our own and determine our own livelihoods and futures. Through “redistributive change” those who work will be controlled as their labor is seized, thus preventing any upward mobility and those who don’t work will be controlled as their dependence is fed and fostered. A thoughtful Obama supporter would indeed have to have a sadistic streak to advocate on his behalf.

The young would be compelled to “50 hours of community service per year” according to the “service” page of the official campaign web-site. This can be described as slavery or a sentence. Neither option is pleasant! These “opportunities” for service may be presented in such a way that the gullible and the self-loathing among us find them acceptable or even wonderful. What is ignored by the foolish supporters of “Big Brother,” is that compelled service is much less meaningful than voluntary service. The Obamorons can’t seem to grasp the subtle differences between slavery and generosity or between seizure and donation.

An American was once allowed to have a dream and be free to pursue it. Barack Obama proposes to steal those dreams, unless of course they are dreams of Obammunistic service. “Joe The plumber” might dream of owning his own business. Barack Obama would dictate such a dream is not worthy of his collectivist vision. If Joe intends to pursue his dream, there will be a penalty! Personal success shall not be enjoyed without punitive taxation, or as Barack The Marxist put it “spread the wealth around.” Opportunity is a word that Barack uses to describe his Marxist goals. I am not sure who is worse, the dishonest candidate or the fools that believe him.

Opportunity will have no place in an Obamanation, for opportunity is not an accurate description of taking from the productive to equalize their wealth with that of the unproductive! No reasonable person could describe government imposed limitations on individual success as “opportunity!” As a means of prole control, those that don’t produce will be given the opportunity to eat the groceries bought with the labor of the productive. The people that support such a system do not subscribe to any American Dream. Instead the Obamorons and would-be ruling class would intentionally or otherwise subject the common American citizen to a collective nightmare. Our opportunity will be to achieve an equalized misery independent of our contribution.

Fret not, after some period of time we will grow accustomed to the oppression. Eventually our children and grandchildren might not realize to what you Obama supporters have sentenced them.

Obamorons View Information as Intimidation

October 18th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , ,

I guess in a sane world, information would be intimidating … to Obama’s campaign. It would definitely hinder the chances of “Big Brother” Barack Obama realizing his ultimate (or is it penultimate?) goal. This is not a sane world, however, as is evident in Barack Obama’s real chance at ascending to the highest office in The United States of America.

It still seems odd that Chief Obamoron (campaign manager), David Plouffe, decries information as intimidation. I suppose he believes that if a voter is made aware of Barack Obama’s unsavory alliances and abysmal judgment, he or she may refrain from casting a vote for the socialization of our nation. The notion that the Obamorons call informing voters “intimidation” should cause alarm among observers. Could this be an omen? “Thought Crime” as a reality has already been beta tested on behalf of the Obammunists in Missouri and in Denver, is this the next step. Perhaps all dissent will be punishable in an Obamanation. Recall that the Obama campaign tried to use the Department of Justice to stop this fantastic ad from American Issues Project:

Obama’s Eastern Ministry of Truth, The Washington Post, has the scoop in a piece called “’60s Radical Ayers Among Subjects of McCain ‘Robo-Calls’.”

“Hello. I’m calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home and killed Americans,” a voice says in the automated calls that have been heard in Virginia, Ohio, Florida and elsewhere.

The short call adds: “Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country.”

The message is among what one Republican campaign worker described as “a couple of hundred” different calls that the GOP plans to employ, tailored to different states and areas and paid for by state parties, the RNC or the McCain campaign.

Among calls being made are joint ventures by McCain and the RNC that also criticize Democrats for wanting to “give civil rights to terrorists,” call Obama’s position on abortion “extreme” and even blast the Democrat for attending a Hollywood fundraiser during a period of economic turmoil.

How dare the RNC or the McCain campaign attempt to inform voters? The media will not sit idly by and allow the object of its collective (get used to that word under Obammunism) affection to suffer any loss of votes caused by a dissemination of information. It is the task, nay crusade of the media to carry St. Barack The Divider to his throne and no man or fact shall get in the way of this divine destiny. In an effort to battle information and its potential spoiler effect, The Ministry of Truth (WaPo) carries the messages of worthless RINO Susan Collins and Chief Obamoron, David Plouffe.

Susie’s righteous indignation for information is displayed in this little paragraph:

Obama supporters in Virginia and elsewhere have complained to the media about the calls, and so has his campaign. Even Republican Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) expressed disapproval, with her spokesman telling a state political publication yesterday that she wants “the McCain campaign to stop these calls immediately.”

It is really too bad Susie Q didn’t threaten to hold her breath until the information dissemination stopped. Perhaps at least the Chief Obamoron will hold his breath.

In a conference call this week, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said Republicans’ ACORN attacks are part of “pulling out their old playbook.”

“I think what they’re doing right now is a form of intimidation, which is to raise a lot of questions out there, create a lot of confusion, and I think it’s in the interest of trying to intimidate voters,” he said.

Anything that raises questions regarding Barack Obama’s deplorable judgment, reprehensible associations, or dangerous ideals will be viewed as intimidation tactics and must be stopped! How can Obama be expected to achieve his desired level of power if people learn about him? Come on, Obamorons unite! “Fight The Smears,” allow no piece of factual information to be heard! Facts don’t favor Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama so they must be suppressed! that said, it is extremely fortunate for the Obamorons that the media is so completely in the tank for the destroyer of our nation.

Of course if the “Thought Crime” angle doesn’t do enough to suppress the facts, the Obama campaign could always funnel more money to ACORN to support the cigarettes for votes campaign.

Will Obama Use The Nation Like He Did Illinois?

October 17th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , ,

As the election draws near, Barack Obama’s satellite campaign offices, or as some call them, media outlets, are trumpeting the coming of greatness. They inundate the airwaves and printed pages with affirmations of Obama’s insurmountable inevitability and slobbering tributes to his cool, calm, presidential demeanor in the so-called “debates.” It must take a great deal of effort for an experienced political scam artist to appear calm under the intense pressure of softball questioning by members of his media fan club. I suppose it would be like one of my children marveling at my ability to answer their questions and how smart I sometimes sound.

Mark Levin and Mike Church both did shows this week that were partially focused on Barack Obama’s use of techniques described in Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals.” You can download Levin’s terrific show from Oct. 14 here. These shows shine a revealing light on the motivation and tactics being so dangerously deployed by Obama in his quest for power. It is about power and control… and it would appear that enough people are willing to forfeit liberty for the sake of “The One.” Barack Obama, in keeping with his Alinsky training, believes the ends justify the means. Therefore, it should not surprise any Illinois citizen that we are seen as nothing more than a set of tools to be used to secure the ultimate end.

I, like the reasonable voters in Illinois (who are of course in the minority), can at least take some solace that I never cast a vote for Barack Obama. If I had voted for the man who would be king during his Senate race, I might be even more disappointed in his using the office as nothing more than preparation for his next election. Then again, of I had been foolish enough to vote for Barack Obama at any point, I would likely believe as his followers apparently do, that he can do no wrong and however he abuses his position is acceptable.

The Washington Post has a piece in today’s Obama campaign release, excuse me… edition, titled, “A Rising Political Star Adopts A Low-key Strategy.” Eli Saslow’s piece is amazing in the way it is likely to be received. Obamorons will read it and marvel at the focus of the man. He had a plan and worked hard to cultivate the necessary image to get to a position to save us all from our liberty. A reasonable person (you’ll notice that I contend that any support of “Big Brother” Barry Obama automatically disqualifies one as a reasonable person) will see how Barack Obama blatantly used his election to the U.S. Senate for nothing more than furthering his own political climb. Again, a reasonable person will see that Barack Obama did not do the work of a senator since taking office, but they will take solace in the fact that at least for most of the last few years we didn’t have two Dick Durbins actively harming our nation while “representing” Illinois.

From Saslow’s piece:

Early in 2005, Barack Obama met with half a dozen advisers in Washington to plot strategy. Some of those who participated remember that the group focused less on the details of Obama’s new job as the junior senator from Illinois than on managing his overall political image. He wanted to run for governor, maybe even president, someday, and preparing required a risky choice between two approaches to Washington.

Obama arrived as a celebrity, a best-selling author whose keynote speech was the only moment Democrats wanted to remember from their 2004 convention. He could capitalize on that reputation by speaking out against the Iraq war, scheduling prime-time television interviews and seizing control of high-profile bills. He could, as one Chicago friend suggested, “go in, do your thing and take the place by storm.”

Or, others advised, Obama could assume the typical role of a freshman senator, maneuvering with deference and humility. By endearing himself to Washington’s elite, he could build the foundation for his future.

“I think it’s important to take it slow,” Obama told his advisers. “I want to be liked.”

Hmm… I guess he didn’t take it slow enough because I don’t like him, but my adoration probably isn’t all that important to the chump of “change.” Thank you Eli Saslow, for slipping such honesty in a rag that is normally reserved for Obama campaign pieces.

With an eye on his next goal, Obama treated the Senate as a bridge to be crossed — a place to learn the conventions of Washington, win powerful friends and shape what advisers referred to as his “political brand.” Despite meager legislative accomplishments, Obama built a reputation among many Democrats as a hard worker, a reformer, an eager learner, a smart politician.

And he did it while maintaining a cool air of detachment, colleagues said. He focused on his professional goals and showed little interest in personal connections not outlined in the plan. In a senatorial culture famous for its chumminess, Obama generally preferred to eat alone and go back to his apartment away from Capitol Hill.

The understated approach was a considerable gamble for Obama at a key juncture in his career, and some old friends from the Illinois legislature worried that he would waste his cachet and chart a path toward obscurity. When they brought their concerns to Obama, he responded simply, “Have faith.” He had his plan, and he intended to stick by it. He would thrive in the Senate by fitting in and not by standing out, by winning over Washington without giving too much of himself.

Saul Alinsky’s best disciple has coldly calculated the shortest distance to the nation’s top office and he seems to have stupefied enough of the electorate to allow his success. My question is, what will be next? Will the presidency be enough for this sinister socialist? Will two terms be enough or will he attempt a Hugo Chavez/Michael Bloomberg type play for abolishing term limits? Will a North American Union become a reality with St. Barack the Divider as some grand emperor?

Is the goal to spread equal misery beyond North America? I think global poverty should be addressed (hey that is one piece of legislation in which “The One” actually took part!) Global poverty can be equalized if Barack Obama can be elevated to some sort of world domination level, somewhere between emperor and God. If Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama can ascend to this as of yet unnamed and despite Hitler’s attempts, unattained position, global “social justice” can be realized. If a man has too much, he can have the excess seized for distribution among his global neighbors. We will all work according to our ability toward the greater good of global outcome equity. Of course equal opportunity need not exist in a Utopia where opportunity, itself has been eradicated.

The possibilities for Barack Obama seem terrifyingly limitless. Any chance the majority of voters will vote with their brains on November 4? Of course, even if a majority of real and living voters exercise reason, will it be enough to overcome the votes of the Disney characters and dead people that community organizers like ACORN will be sending to the polls? There is a reason libiots fight voter ID laws after all!

Barack The Divider

October 11th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , , ,

Phyllis Schlafly’s recent column, “The Audacity of Obama“, illuminates (referring to Obama’s autobiography”Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance”) the fact the racial strife is central theme in Barack Obama’s adult life. The most striking aspect of this is that Obama seems to have worked toward convincing himself that he was a victim of racial injustice and perhaps sought relevance by injecting racism into his life.

Obama describes how he deliberately separated himself from his multiracial heritage in order to give himself a 100 percent black persona, different and alienated from the white world around him. Obama writes that the book is “a record of a personal, interior journey” to establish himself as “a black American.”

With his new all-black identity, Obama stews about injustices that he never personally experienced, and feeds his warped worldview by withdrawing into a “smaller and smaller coil of rage.” He lives with a “nightmare vision” of black powerlessness.

Was it a romanticized notion of belonging to a grand struggle that moved Barack Obama to plunge himself into a new narrative, one separate from his actual experience? Was it simply that he believed that his path to political power might be most expeditiously paved by this transformation?

Obama’s worldview sees U.S. history as a consistent tale of oppressors and oppressed. He objects to the public schools because black kids are learning “someone else’s history. Someone else’s culture.”

He even criticizes his white grandparents who worked hard to give him a privileged life. Their motives are a mystery to Obama because they came from the “landlocked center” of the United States which, he asserts, is full of “suspicion and the potential for unblinking cruelty.”

Obama grew up in Hawaii, the exemplar of a melting pot of races, yet he sees it as a place of “aborted treaties and crippling diseases brought by the missionaries.” Although his mixed race was not a handicap in Hawaii, he whined that “we were always playing on the white man’s court . . . by the white man’s rules.”

Division has been an ever present vehicle on Obama’s journey to power. His notable, but apparently unimportant association with proud domestic terrorist, William Ayers even seems to have been focused on division. Not only did Barack have to kiss the ring of the terrorist to enter Chicago’s political machine, but his ideas regarding indoctrination of America’s youth must have been aligned with those of Professor Billy The Bomber in order to have been chosen to chair the board of Ayers’ Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

Obama’s website has links to his healthcare plan and his thoughts on civil rights. Both plans are injected with racial, ethnic, and class divisions that oppose the image of a unifier. His healthcare plan (in addition to being “to each according to his need, from each according to his ability”) contains the following :

Tackle disparities in health care. Although all Americans are affected by problems with our healthcare delivery system, an overwhelming body of evidence demonstrates that certain populations are significantly more likely to receive lower quality health care than others. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will tackle the root causes of health disparities by addressing differences in access to health coverage and promoting prevention and public health, both of which play a major role in addressing disparities. They will also challenge the medical system to eliminate inequities in health care by requiring hospitals and health plans to collect, analyze and report health care quality for disparity populations and holding them accountable for any differences found; diversifying the workforce to ensure culturally effective care; implementing and funding evidence-based interventions, such as patient navigator programs; and supporting and expanding the capacity of safety-net institutions, which provide a disproportionate amount of care for underserved populations with inadequate funding and technical resources.

Vote for me because if you don’t “certain populations” and “under served populations” will be denied access to healthcare. Hey, I thought it was the other side that supposedly used racist code words (basically anything that pointed out Obama’s judgment, ideas, and history.)

The civil rights page focuses almost entirely on the racist, bigoted evil that apparently is The United States Of America. After perusing this page, I find myself wondering why so many foreigners try to escape their home countries and flee to this awful nation. I suppose they were hoping one day Barack Obama would ascend to power and use class and race politics to bring “change” (and make this country more like the one they fled.)

Can you believe his own web-site proposes to “End Deceptive Voting Practices“? Does this mean that a President Obama will put an end to the community organizing, voter fraud entity that is ACORN? More from the civil rights page:

The Problem

Pay Inequity Continues: For every $1.00 earned by a man, the average woman receives only 77 cents, while African American women only get 67 cents and Latinas receive only 57 cents.

Hate Crimes on the Rise: The number of hate crimes increased nearly 8 percent to 7,700 incidents in 2006.

Efforts Continue to Suppress the Vote: A recent study discovered numerous organized efforts to intimidate, mislead and suppress minority voters.

Disparities Continue to Plague Criminal Justice System: African Americans and Hispanics are more than twice as likely as whites to be searched, arrested, or subdued with force when stopped by police. Disparities in drug sentencing laws, like the differential treatment of crack as opposed to powder cocaine, are unfair.

If you aren’t a white male, you are a victim of a cruel society! We must do more to ensure you receive fair and special treatment!

Barack Obama’s Record

Record of Advocacy: Obama has worked to promote civil rights and fairness in the criminal justice system throughout his career. As a community organizer, Obama helped 150,000 African Americans register to vote. As a civil rights lawyer, Obama litigated employment discrimination, housing discrimination, and voting rights cases. As a State Senator, Obama passed one of the country’s first racial profiling laws and helped reform a broken death penalty system. And in the U.S. Senate, Obama has been a leading advocate for protecting the right to vote, helping to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act and leading the opposition against discriminatory barriers to voting.

Whoa! I thought he was going to put an end to “deceptive voting practices” and now at the bottom of the page he is touting his participation in such practices? Oh, I get it. He is saying that he can best deal with the deceptive community organizers like ACORN because he is familiar with their inner workings. Makes sense to me.

Remember to vote for the candidate who made himself into crusader for “social justice” to fight against the oppression that kept him from going to good schools and getting a good job… no, that’s not right. Well vote for him anyway, because he says that this country is racist and oppresses minorities despite the fact that his true narrative is evidence to the contrary!

How About Secretary Of Education Ayers?

October 9th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged , , ,

Apparently William Ayers past is immaterial, even though as recently as last year he expressed no remorse for his participation in the infamous Weather Underground bombings. If our nation is ready to hand the presidency to a radical leftist, why not take the logical step of at least expecting Barack Obama to consider his former Chicago Annenberg Challenge mate William Ayers for the post of Secretary of Education? While we are suggesting cabinet members, let’s also consider:

  • Secretary Of Treasury - William “Cold Cash” Jefferson
  • HUD Secretary - Tony Rezko (following presidential pardon)
  • Health and Human Services - Kathleen Sebelius (Under Secretary - Michael Moore)
  • Secretary of Peace (replacement for Defense) - Dennis Kucinich
  • Secretary of State - George Clooney
  • Homeland Security - Susan Sarandon

**Updated thanks to George’s reminder of a couple of Obammunist departments I missed (From Let Them Eat Cake):

  • Department Of Climate Change - Al Gore (Under Sec. Sheryl “One Square” Crow)
  • Department Of Service - Rod Blagojevich?

Back to education, which in addition to plotting and executing bombings, is Bill Ayers area of expertise. Of course we are not talking about the type of boring traditional education one might expect for his or her child. Ayers is an education reformer… or radical as Sol Stern wrote in The City Journal:

Chicago’s liberals have chosen to define deviancy down in Ayers’s case, and Obama can’t be blamed for that.

What he can be blamed for is not acknowledging that his neighbor has a political agenda that, if successful, would make it impossible to lift academic achievement for disadvantaged children. As I have shown elsewhere in City Journal, Ayers’s politics have hardly changed since his Weatherman days. He still boasts about working full-time to bring down American capitalism and imperialism. This time, however, he does it from his tenured perch as Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Instead of planting bombs in public buildings, Ayers now works to indoctrinate America’s future teachers in the revolutionary cause, urging them to pass on the lessons to their public school students.

Teaching For Social Justice” sounds like a noble title for a book edited by a terrorist and his “education reforming” colleagues. It leads me to wonder if a Secretary of Education Ayers would work to remake the bulk of the nations public schools in the mold of Social Justice High School, an institution in Chicago on whose “About Us” web page includes:

Critical Knowledge:

To Our Students

  • We will use math, science, english and history classes to equip our students with the analytical tools to investigate the injustices around us.
  • Culture, ethnic identity and language will be valued and used for relevant learning.
  • Social justice issues of race, equity, peace, gender, and the environment will help us address the real life needs that impact our kids and of our communities.
  • We must also understand our youth, their struggles, their identity, the way they learn and their pain if we want them to be come powerful change agents of our society.

Barack Obama must share some of these teaching for social justice ideals, otherwise his being the former head of the board of Chicago Annenberg Challenge would not make sense. That is, unless a cynical aspiring politician simply thought this was the path of least resistance or expedience.

It is almost funny the way Barack Obama complains about “divisiveness.” This indoctrination in the name of “social justice” is divisive. In fact, like Obama’s healthcare plan (which will be reviewed in the coming days) this type of “education” appears focused on creating a victim mindset and highlighting perceived race, gender, and ethnic disparities.

I suppose if Barack Obama is the candidate of choice for noted “Team America: World Police” character, “Matt Damon,” he should be accepted by all… our future be damned.
