The hits just keep coming. The degradation of our society and the politically correct war on common sense have indeed taken their toll. Have we fallen so far that any person that would have a chance to lead, would be required to pander to “special” groups, play identity politics, and bow at the altar of Al Gore’s anthropogenic global warming? Will all future leaders of the Republican Party choose to coddle pro-abortion groups? A visit to The Republican Leadership Council (RLC) web-site provides potentially depressing insight into the future of the party.

Former libiot Republican governor Christie Todd Whitman is one of the three creators of the RLC (along with Lt. Gov. Michael Steele and Sen. John Danforth)… so maybe her influence gives the RLC a “move away from the right” flavor that Steele would not carry to the RNC if he were to become its chairman. However, if the RLC is indeed an indication of the future of the Republican Party, I have to wonder if it will be worthy of support. If Whitman’s apparent goal of moving further to the middle is shared by the party leadership, will it retain its members? Perhaps member retention is not an issue in the modern Republican Party. Perhaps the goal is to attract new members, who as products of our education system, shun traditional values and choose politically correct causes over common sense. Of course in addition to attracting “independents” and possibly disgruntled Democrats, conservatives with values would be able to remain in the party… as long as we keep our mouths closed and support whichever indistinguishable-from-a-Democrat candidate is offered.

The RLC touts as “successful” examples, Republican politicians who one might expect to have a horn protruding from his or her nose (RINOs.) Would Michael Steele heed their caution against moving to the right?

3 Successful Republicans Caution Against a Move to the Right

by Robert F. Bukaty, Associated Press

As Congressional Republicans lick their political wounds and try to figure out how to bounce back in 2010 and beyond, they might want to consult with Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander and Peter T. King.
Senator Collins, Senator Alexander and Representative King were among Republicans who defied the odds in a terrible year for their colleagues. Their re-elections provide a possible road map for how the party can succeed in a challenging political environment. The answer, the three veteran politicians agreed, is not to become a more conservative, combative party focused on narrow partisan issues.
“What doesn’t work is drawing a harsh ideological line in the sand,” said Ms. Collins, of Maine, who early in the year was a top Democratic target for defeat but ended up winning 61 percent of the vote while Senator Barack Obama received 58 percent in the presidential race in her state.
“We make a mistake if we are going to make our entire appeal rural and outside the Northeast and outside the Rust Belt,” said Mr. King, of New York, who easily won re-election in a region shedding Republicans at a precipitous rate.
“We can stand around and talk about our principles, but we have to put them into actions that most people agree with,” said Mr. Alexander, of Tennessee, a self-described conservative who was able to attract African-American voters.

Susan Collins and Lamar Alexander are exactly what I picture when I think of conservative values… in a parallel universe maybe.

From the “About Us” section of the RLC site:

RLC-PAC members consider themselves True Conservative Republicans. Republicans who believe that our elected officials have a responsibility to their constituents to spend their money wisely. We believe that government should have a limited role in Americans’ personal lives. And we believe in a strong national defense.

The Republican Leadership Council PAC or RLC-PAC is a political action committee dedicated to supporting fiscally conservative, socially inclusive Republican candidates at all levels of government. Governor Whitman also created a 527 to advance the issues that help define Real Conservative members of the Republican Party.

RLC-PAC is NOT defined by one issue. We believe, as you can see through our diverse National Board, that people who believe in the core Republican values can find common ground on social issues.

There are some inconsistencies and problems there (in addition to Governor Whitman, I mean.) The problem is that by stating “We believe that government should have a limited role in Americans’ personal lives” they, in my opinion, are being contradictory. I agree that government should have an extremely limited role in American’s personal lives, but I don’t believe that is what is meant in the statement. I get the impression that this is directed toward the so-called “social issues.” Whitman is pro-choice and Michael Steele believes Roe v. Wade should remain in place. This one bad decision by the Supreme Court plays a huge role in Americans’ personal lives! Oh well, I suppose I am just a cave man for doubting that a woman has a right to have her baby put to death and that this right must be protected from any interference by the voters of any individual state. After all, doesn’t the Constitution specifically give the Supreme Court the power to overturn the will of the citizens of any particular state on an activist whim?

Would Michael Steele’s RNC strive to be “socially inclusive?” The RLC’s list of strategic partners gives cause for concern. Examples:

Log Cabin Republicans
The mission of the Log Cabin Republicans is to work within the Republican Party to advocate equal rights for all Americans, including gays and lesbians. Log Cabin’s mission derives from our firm belief in the principles of limited government, individual liberty, individual responsibility, free markets and a strong national defense. We emphasize that these principles and the moral values on which they stand are consistent with the pursuit of equal treatment under the law for gay and lesbian Americans.

All Americans already have equal rights. The existence of this group is based on a desire for attention and special treatment based on sexual preference. Is the idea that homosexuals will all vote Democrat unless the Republican Party gives them special acknowledgment? Should we all make a special effort to respect their private lives by making special public proclamations in support of their private lives? (Confusing, isn’t it?)

Of course the pro-infanticide population is well represented with four organizations among the RLC’s strategic partners, including:

Republican Majority for Choice
The Republican Majority for Choice is an organization of Republican men and women throughout the United States, who believe in our party’s traditional principles of individual liberty, strong national security and sound economic reason. They endorse the ‘big tent’ philosophy of inclusion and tolerance on social issues, and support the protection of Roe v. Wade and want to ensure that the right to choose is personal and NOT political.

Silly me, I thought Roe v. Wade’s assault on the rights of individual states ensured that this issue remain political as well as personal. I am also confused about how something so basic as protecting innocent life can be dismissed as a minor “social issue.”

The bottom line is the RLC’s focus seems trained on being a more moderate Republican Party and placing special groups on pedestals based on identity politics. It could very well be that Michael Steele will become the RNC chairman and provide wonderful conservative leadership. However, if the RLC, its strategic partners, and the columns it displays on its site are any indication of Michael Steele’s leadership, I don’t think conservatives with values will be able to stomach it.

I believe it is necessary to reiterate my position on Roe v. Wade for those of you who would seize on it like a dog to a bone. Seeking the overturn of this bad Supreme Court decision is not equal to seeking government interference in private lives! It is seeking to get the federal government out of the way of the states and the rights of the states!

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:

Whether it be the droning from Sunday morning panels in the background or a perusal of internet “news” sources, the relentless spin is enough to make a thoughtful person nauseous. This dizzying assault on reason also had another effect. It helped to crystallize why our country’s electorate just did the unthinkable.

The first abdominal rumble occurred when I turned on Fox News Sunday and long time McCain pusher Bill Kristol was yapping. As a matter of principle I tune out when I see anyone I view as being integral in sticking us with McAmnesty as the sacrificial lamb to the left. This is also why I wouldn’t watch Huckabee’s show if you paid me. I don’t know if there was nauseating spin on Fox News Sunday, but Kristol’s appearance was sickening enough for me.

I must admit that I am something of a glutton for punishment so when I came back into the room after doing some of my domestic duties, I turned on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “Big Brother” Barack Obama’s new Chief Enforcer Rahm “The Fish” Emanuel was the featured guest. I didn’t stop to listen to what he had to say. Instead I tuned in again later when the panel was gleefully celebrating the election results. Cynthia Tucker from Atlanta’s rag made sure to inject identity politics into the discussion. The subject of “Big Brother” Barack’s cabinet brought about the inevitable focus on the divisive liberal tactic of race and ethnicity based politics. Tucker proposed that Bill Richardson should be given some prominent post because so many hispanics voted for Obama! These people demand that qualifications should play second fiddle behind skin pigmentation! Thank you, Ms. Tucker for reaffirming exactly which party engages in race baiting!

I look at the panelists that populate these Sunday morning shows and the guests they feature and it hits. This is where a lot of the voters who somewhat pay attention to the political landscape get their information! Traditional news outlets are still informing the opinions of many people that pay SOME attention to politics. I say “some” for two reasons. First, those that get their information from these sources tend to get information that has been filtered through tight mesh Obama-strainer, which is what I am calling the filter the Obama media uses to decide what to publish and more importantly, what to suppress. Second, many people don’t seem to care enough to even want information. Apparently what they catch on a commercial or perhaps over hear at work is good enough for them. I am usually amazed when I talk to people and find that there is so much about The Grand Chancellor Elect that they had never even heard.

Then of course there are those that are informed and they either are hardcore socialists that will let nothing stand in the way of their agenda or they have succumbed to the Obama Kool Aid and believe wealth must be redistributed in order to harmonize the planet.

Back to the spin cycle. Breitbart has a funny article, “Internet revolution that elected Obama could save Earth: Gore!” The bulbous former internet creator is apparently squealing for relevance. No, he is not saying, “Ah created the internet and by proxy, single handedly made St. Barack Grand Chancellor of the Americas!” That may be what he is thinking, but apparently the man with a huge carbon butt-print thinks the internet elected Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama and now he wants it used to put himself back in the spotlight.

“The young people who have been inspired by Barack Obama’s campaign and the movement that powered Barack Obama’s campaign want a purpose,” Gore said.

“One of the reasons we were all thrilled Tuesday night is it was pretty obvious this was a collectively intelligent decision.”

The Internet’s critical role in Democrat Obama’s victory in the presidential race against Republican John McCain was a “great blow for victory” in addressing a “democracy crisis” stifling action against climate change, Gore said.

I think The Goreacle is saying that he would love to serve as puppet master to the foolish and properly indoctrinated “young people who have been inspired by Barack Obama’s campaign.” Its a perfect fit, young people use the internet, he created the internet, young people are apt to buy the global warming manure, he profits from peddling said manure. Ah yes, a match made in American manufacturing destroying heaven!

Gore screams for attention as time is running out for him to close the sale. Once the next cooling cycle is in full swing it will be hard to convince even most Obamorons as to the faux threat of anthropogenic global warming! Not to mention he only has one yacht.

The Web has the potential to “revolutionize almost every aspect” of running for US president, according to Gore. He believes that social activism made possible by people connecting and sharing information online is in its infancy.

“What happened in the election opens a full new range of possibilities and now is the time to really move swiftly to exploit these new possibilities,” Gore said of turning the power of the Internet to cooling global warming.

Gore said Obama should announce a national goal of getting all US electric power from renewable and non-carbon energy within the next decade and spend the billions necessary to build an “electrinet” smart power grid.

“Web 2.0 has to have a purpose” Gore said.

“The purpose I would urge is to bring about a higher level of consciousness about our relationship to this planet and the imminent danger we face. We have everything we need to save it.”

Memo to the bloated Goreacle, come to Southern Illinois, step outside, and try to sell your global warming snake-oil with a straight face. Bring a coat, though, because it is chilly here.

The AP via Yahoo News gives cause for alarm with their spin in the article, “Obama reviews Bush orders on stem cells, drilling.”

“I think across the board, on stem cell research, on a number of areas, you see the Bush administration even today moving aggressively to do things that I think are probably not in the interest of the country,” Podesta said in a broadcast interview.

“There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we’ll see the president do that,” Podesta said.

President Bush has limited federal spending on stem cell research, a position championed by opponents of abortion rights. Obama has supported the research in an effort to find cures for diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Also, the federal Bureau of Land Management is opening about 360,000 acres of public land in Utah to oil and gas drilling, leading to protests from environmentalists.

“They want to have oil and gas drilling in some of the most sensitive, fragile lands in Utah,” Podesta said. “I think that’s a mistake.”

John Podesta, Clinton hack and president of The Center For American Progress is yet another example of  Obama’s “change” or to the casual observer, bringing back all surviving Clintonians. He spins sweetly about St. Barack’s desire to see that Alzheimer’s gets cured through stem cell research and apparently President Bush has always had it in for Alzheimer’s patients. What the vile bastard fails to mention is the key to the issue of funding, embryonic stem cell research. President Bush had the moral courage to oppose the destruction of human embryos for the sake of “science.” Given that there have been promising breakthroughs from adult and umbilical cord stem cell research and none from embryonic stem cell research, one can surmise that the push for federal funding is mainly an effort to further the pro-abortion agenda. Imagine the horror if the babies that would be destroyed as the subject of theses science experiments were recognized as such. That might harm the image of abortion. Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and NOW can’t have that!

Let’s not forget the second part where Podesta ominously warns that “Big Brother” Barry intends to placate his bark humping supporters at the expense of the citizens of this nation. Of course, if Barry gets enough former Clinton blow-hards to come back, maybe there will be a short term gain in wind power.

If we want to know what Barack Obama will do to our country if even half of his rhetoric was serious we only need to look to his campaign appearances for a recurring subtle clue:

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.

I am a proud member of The Eagle Forum. Here is a message Phyllis Schlafly sent today:

Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary defines death rattle as:

a rattling or gurgling sound produced by air passing through mucus in the lungs and air passages of a dying person

Years ago I worked as a CNA in a hospital (also as a nursing student, before I decided a healthcare career wasn’t for me.) The death rattle meant that the patient was going to be gone soon. One could hope it meant he or she would suffer no more and his or her soul would move on to a better place. The death rattle of liberty offers no such hope.

I was perusing news articles this morning and found three of them that provided food for thought on this subject. One from The Washington Obamost because it had such a telling title:

At the U.N., Many Hope for an Obama Win

An informal survey of more than two dozen U.N. staff members and foreign delegates showed that the overwhelming majority would prefer that Sen. Barack Obama win the presidency, saying they think that the Democrat would usher in a new agenda of multilateralism after an era marked by Republican disdain for the world body.

Obama supporters hail from Russia, Canada, France, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Indonesia and elsewhere. One American employee here seemed puzzled that he was being asked whether Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was even a consideration. “Obama was and is unstoppable,” the official said. “Please, God, let him win,” he added.

“It would be hard to find anybody, I think, at the U.N. who would not believe that Obama would be a considerable improvement over any other alternative,” said William H. Luers, executive director of the United Nations Association. “It’s been a bad eight years, and there is a lot of bad feeling over it.”

Conservatives who are skeptical of the United Nations said they are not surprised by the political tilt. “The fact is that most conservatives, most Republicans don’t worship at the altar in New York, and I think that aggravates them more than anything else,” said John R. Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “What they want is the bending of the knee, and they’ll get it from an Obama administration.”

John Bolton summed it up nicely. Of course this worthless waste of New York space prefers our nation to fall into Obammunism. Imagine the money Mr. Global Poverty Act will funnel to various U.N. programs! The U.N. Secretary General is probably going to call domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and get his advice on the best way to maximize the funds received under Obama’s direction. Global “social justice” at the expense of Americans, won’t it be grand?

Not that the U.N. man-crush on “Big Brother” Barack Obama is just about money. They can also look forward to a position of power over the “ugly Americans.” Unless they are blind, they can see Obama’s disdain for liberty and salivate at the thought of a fallen United States. If there is one positive in a Barack Obama presidency (not a positive for Americans), it is the fact that lesser nations will look better by comparison than they currently do.

Reuters has an article that, on its surface bears good news but when viewed through the lens of Obammunism, one realizes that pharmaceutical breakthroughs will be curtailed.

New Merck HIV drug works in untreated patients

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new class of HIV drugs can help control the virus in untreated patients, researchers reported on Sunday.

Merck and Co. hopes the findings will open a new market for its drug Isentress, the first drug on the market in a new class called integrase inhibitors.

Isentress worked slightly better than an older HIV drug called efavirenz in suppressing levels of the AIDS virus, the researchers told a meeting of the American Society of Microbiology and the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

Last October, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared Isentress for use in HIV patients whose infection has begun to resist the effects of other drugs.

This problem, called resistance, is common in AIDS virus infections and is one reason why companies continue to develop new drugs to fight HIV.

Anyone that isn’t a drooling Obamoron should be able to spot the problem here. How do innovations in medicine occur? Is it a simple matter of St. Barack waving his hand over an empty bottle, which subsequently fills with whatever wonder drug a person may need? Some might argue that money (gasp… the evil profit) must be invested in research and development. Evil pharmaceutical companies are a target of Obama’s socialist plans, will they be allowed to profit? If they are not allowed to profit, how will research and development be financed? Is it a simple matter of re-educating drug company owners and researchers to give their intellectual property in the absence of any incentive? If so, I hope the number of people estimated to be eliminated in the re-education camps is smaller than the 25 million The Weather Underground estimated would have to be eliminated once they took over.

The third article is an omen from Reuters:

Venezuela’s Chavez wants to jail rival

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened on Saturday to imprison his main political rival, intensifying a campaign against a man he calls a crime boss just a month before he faces tough regional elections.

Opposition leader Manuel Rosales, who lost to Chavez in the 2006 presidential vote, is governor of the oil producing state of Zulia and is running for mayor of its capital Maracaibo.

“I am determined to put Manuel Rosales behind bars. A swine like that has to be in prison,” Chavez said.

The future is less than bright. Do the political enemies of “Big Brother” Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama have this to worry about? Obama is only a candidate and we’ve already seen the writing on the wall. Remember “Thought Criminals Punished in Denver“? How about “Missouri’s Obama Truth Squads“?

Our grasp on liberty is slipping and it has been for years. My pessimistic side believes that we are doomed to hit the rock bottom of a tyranny at the hands of the Obammunists before enough people will wake the hell up! My optimistic side believes that McCain can win the election and we can win a four year liberty extension. We can use this extension to find conservative leadership, attempt to educate Obamorons on individual responsibility and common sense, and to purge The Republican Party of the nearly Democrat RINOs that have taken over.

Are there enough thinking Americans left that have not been fooled or lulled into some outrageous support for the liberty eliminating Obamanation?

How despicable. Racists are given a national platform for division in this election more than in any other in my memory. (For those of you whiners, please note I said, “in my memory!”) Ideally race would not be an issue, but the racists will have none of it! Under the guise of inappropriately named “equal opportunity” and “equality” these racists fight for special treatment and demand anything but “equality!” Of course in this election one campaign is wielding a racist weapon to be used for bludgeoning anyone that doesn’t support its candidate. I am not going to say which campaign but here are a few hints:

• Bill “Guilty as Hell. Free as a bird!” Ayers
• Rev. “God Damn America” Wright
• Karl Marx
• Saul Alinsky
• Hollywood members of FAG (Film Actors Guild… i.e. “Matt Damon!”)
• Babies left to die in hospital linen closets
• Forcibly spreading a plumber’s wealth around
• A candidate that cares so much… his own brother lives on a buck a month

But none of those hints matter in modern times, no, no, no. (Or as Jeremiah Wright says, “Naw, naw, naw!”) We live in an era of accepted racism and racism, as long as implemented by the acceptable groups is beyond reproach. This racism is a great weapon because any who oppose it are labeled as … racists, only now the bad kind.

Rachel D’Oro has a piece at Townhall.com about some of Alaska’s socially acceptable racists, “Alaska’s minorities feel ignored by Palin.” The title tells me that Rachel D’Oro is probably one of Townhall’s writers that believes Governor Palin doesn’t fit her elitist view of what a vice president should be and from what background a vice president should come. I would personally prefer all Republican elitists to splinter off and form a third party (perhaps The Bow Tie party and George Will could be its chairman.) It is truly sad that a person with values and a working class background is reviled for her values and working class background!

Back to the Alaskan racists, who are upset that not enough was done by Governor Palin to grant special treatment to citizens of Alaska based solely on skin color and ethnicity.

“She has no sensitivity to minorities,” said the Rev. Alonzo Patterson, a Baptist minister and president of the Alaska Black Leadership Conference. “She’s really inciting a lot of African-Americans to get out and vote.”

Since taking office in December 2006, Palin has had a sometimes tense relationship with black leaders, who say they’ve been ignored in their efforts to get more minorities hired in her administration.

Artificial diversity, while popular in the twisted society of today, is just that: artificial. Why do these groups have such a problem with achieving positions based on skills, qualifications, and an ability to do the task? What does skin color have to do with the ability to do any job? I’ll move on while I wait for your answer.

In Alaska, the issue of race relations usually focuses on Alaska Natives, who make up 18 percent of the population. Blacks, in contrast, make up 4 percent.

Patterson and Odom say that when they’ve pressed Palin about diversity in hiring, she gets defensive and even testy.

“If you’re going to embrace the entire country, you need to address the issues here,” said Marilyn Stewart, president of the Alaska Black Chamber of Commerce and a volunteer on Palin’s gubernatorial campaign who has served Republican and Democratic governors. “Most certainly there are qualified minorities who would love to be part her administration. People aren’t asking for her selections to be based on color, but because of qualifications.”

Imagine getting testy when pressed to make hiring decisions based on race! How can the president of something with the word “Black” in its title say the last sentence in the above excerpt? These groups by their very existence make all such decisions based on color! Special treatment based on color (or gender, or nationality) is the obvious purpose of their existence. Artificial forced diversity creates tension. Again, I must ask why these groups believe that the people they represent are not capable of achieving success on there own merits?

Is it that our society as a whole has been so ingrained (or indoctrinated) that racism is acceptable as long as it is directed toward white people? If so, why don’t we let Barack Obama and his Annenberg Challenge partner (and part time terrorist) Bill Ayers convert all public schools to “Social Justice Schools?”

Sounds terrible, doesn’t it? No one should have to suffer so. The afflictions of individuals are bad enough, but how about an affliction on an entire nation? True, there have been afflicted nations around the world, but how many of them actively chose their affliction?

On the first Tuesday of November, the American voters (alive and ACORN registered dead) are poised to choose a long term illness to befall their country. If one trusts the reporting of Barack Obama’s campaign arm that is the press, Obamantaion sickness will be spread throughout the nation.

Malignant Liberal Idiocy defines Obamanation sickness as illness and symptoms resulting from excessive exposure to radical socialist ideals. Exposure may be accidental or intentional.

The coming national epidemic can be classified as both accidental and intentional exposure. Many voters, indoctrinated college students (that don’t have to try to earn a living yet), and people that believe what they hear from the Obama media is actual news reporting as opposed to campaign advertising will accidentally expose the nation (including themselves) to the radical socialist disease. The wealthy supporters and advisers of the candidate/catalyst are guilty of intentionally exposing the nation to this devastating ideology. I suppose they realize that there will be a small portion of the populace (themselves) that will benefit by holding power over a dependent electorate.

Symptoms of Obamanation sickness include, but are not limited to:

• Joblessness due to increased cost of conducting business.
• Joblessness due to factories closed by oppressive environmental restrictions.
• Joblessness due to the inability for a domestic manufacturer to compete with foreign companies that don’t face the same oppressive regulations and taxes.
• Hunger due to food shortages caused by increased costs to process and distribute food.
• Hunger due to joblessness and the subsequent inability to afford to purchase… anything.
• Increased risk of infection and other illnesses due to the removal of drug research capital in the name of hurting “big pharmaceutical.”
• Increased crime rates due to jobless people stealing to eat.
• Increased crime due to the further extraction of morality from public education.
• Homelessness due to joblessness.
• Decreased energy supplies due to the seizure of profits (removal of incentive and capital for exploration and development.)
• Financial depression due to governmental assault on business (in the name of fairness.)
• Lack of innovation due to innovators being punished for success with Marxist progressive taxes.
• Overdose of bad “entertainment” as the entertainment industry is the only industry (unlike the other industries that are actually needed) that isn’t targeted for “windfall profits” seizure.
• Information deficiency due the implementation of the grotesquely mis-named Fairness Doctrine.
• Many of the symptoms of radiation sickness may apply as more people cannot afford nutrition, shelter, and a generally healthy lifestyle.

Prevention would be possible if there was an opposition candidate that was willing to stray from the ever infuriating promises of bipartisanship and articulate the dangers of Obammunism. Prevention might still be possible if elitist Republican commentators (e.g. George Will, Peggy Noonan, David Brooks) cared more about the issues and potential epidemic of Obamanation sickness than their own disdain for common people with common sense leading the party into the future.

Barring an awakening between now and November 4, the best we can do is to constantly badger our representatives and senators and try to persuade them to oppose the exposure… until that is outlawed. Once this occurs we can hope to simply survive to teach our children of this nation’s beginnings and its previous greatness. Someday a future generation might take this country back and freedom will reign once again.

If you are reading this, you are probably wondering, “who the Hell is Sam Pierce to give pointers to Sarah Palin?” You may just be wondering, “who the Hell is Sam Pierce?” I am a regular guy that would like Governor Palin to be herself and display conservatism, individuality, a separation from McCain, common sense, and several hits against her opponent tonight. The following is what I, as someone who was thrilled with her nomination as running mate to the RINO, would like to hear during tonight’s vice presidential debate.

• Governor Palin should begin with the normal thank yous and acknowledgments, then wish moderator Gwen Ifill “moderate” success on her upcoming book release. Perhaps she could ask for an autographed advance copy to show good faith and possibly level a wobbly table.
• She can wait for Biden to make a remark about her appearance (which I’d say is likely) and reply that we are witnessing Joe Biden “unplugged”… and speaking of plugs, she might ask where the hair came from.
• She could also ask that if by “clean and articulate” Senator Biden meant that Obama kept his hands clean by avoiding senate votes and articulated teleprompter read-outs like nobody’s business.
• When asked about the current financial crisis, Governor Palin will probably stick with McCain’s flawed (in my opinion) position on the bailout but I hope she at least points out that her inexperience is once again going to be illustrated, but she wasn’t even aware that Franklin Roosevelt had appeared on television in 1929 following the stock market crash, as Joe Biden asserted.
• I hope she thinks to mention that it is her understanding that Senator Biden is using a different speech writer than he used twenty years ago, and this one knows his words are being repeated. She should ask if Senators Biden and Obama are sharing Governor Deval Patrick’s old speeches now.
• When the experience issue is raised, I hope Governor Palin points out that like other Governors that have run for the nation’s top two offices, she has experience as a governor. I hope she also asks Senator Biden if he will view himself as a tutor to a President Obama and if he will be Obama’s primary source for the “on the job training” Senator Biden, himself indicated Barack Obama would need.
• She should explain that her foreign policy credentials hold up against those of the other governors that preceded her and wonder aloud if the critics all believe Presidents Clinton and Reagan would not have been qualified for the position of VICE PRESIDENT. I hope she also points out that Obama’s experience is as a grade-school student in Indonesia and as rock concert following speech reader this Summer in Europe.
• Governor Palin should take Ann Coulter’s advice and makes a point to “tie that idiotic pipeline vote around Biden’s neck” when the subject turns to energy. She could also inquire as to how the green team of Obama and Biden intend to allow the electric cars about which they pontificate to be powered. Are they all to be plugged in to sockets that lead back to solar energy plants? How will those solar energy plants be constructed without disturbing some natural habitat? She should ask how their enviro-marxist supporters will react if any sources of energy are implemented in an Obama administration.

I also hope that Governor Palin speaks her mind and points out that she does not agree with Senator McCain on every issue. I hope she can overcome Gwen Ifill’s book sales considerations to illustrate to the viewers that it is time that government be returned to the people! Of course loyal Obamorons would not be swayed, but regular people have an opportunity to be inspired and filled with hope… and that hope is not emanating from The Obama Camp.

I wish I could support Barack Obama in this election season. The reason for this wish is relatively simple, convenience.

Imagine how much easier life would be if you possessed the loose grasp on reality that would allow you to support Barack Obama. Imagine how simple your daily life would be if you cared only for yourself and viewed the rest of the world in terms of what it could give you. Imagine the liberating sense of being moral-free, as one might need to be in order to support Barack Obama. Imagine what a relief it would be to not care about the march toward an Orwellian vision of society as would be expedited by Barack Obama.

I’ve long thought that to be a liberal, one must be evil, stupid, or a combination of the two. The Obama candidacy and terrifying level of mindless support he enjoys serves to reinforce my original beliefs. Some poor souls actually believe that Obammunism would be a good thing for the common citizens of this nation. Some hope to enjoy power and control over the common citizens under Obammunism. Others don’t care enough to be informed.

Think about the mental state of the Obamoron that cheers when he “y’ohs” (his contraction of “you know”) about the tax breaks to the wealthy and the redistribution of “windfall profits” to “American families.” It must be nice to have such a narrow view of the horizon that one could support such a notion. A thinking person would realize that penalizing producers and employers will reduce production and employment. An Obamoron sees only that “evil” businesses are getting punished for success and gives no thought to anything more. A related source of relief would be to be so unencumbered by thought that one doesn’t see the ridiculous hypocrisy of bemoaning the profits of productive business and celebrating the profits of useless “entertainment” ventures (music, movies, and television.)

Think about the freedom enjoyed by the people that could be so clueless that they believe that only by increasing the size and scope of government can we be saved from today’s biggest problems, while ignoring the fact that the biggest of our problems are caused by overreaching government involvement. It must be comforting to look to the government to meet an increasing number of an individuals needs without regard for the snowballing effect of growing government control. Medicine would be best distributed by a benevolent government. Education would be better delivered by a “progressive” government. Wages would best be dictated by an all-knowing government. The weather would best be controlled by an all-powerful government.

I personally believe it would be fabulous to have a mind so dull that I could ignore Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Saul Alinsky, and ACORN. I would be relieved to have such a shallow conscience that I could disregard Barack Obama’s active role in blocking the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act” in The Illinois Senate.

I wish I could support Barack Obama… but I can’t. I am not capable of turning off my mind, ejecting my morals, and dulling my desire for liberty!
