Forgot To Ask

Will they turn the camera off of Big O for a day?

Will start this article with a question…

Why are the tea parties not being reported – even Fox, that supposed bastion of Conservatism, will mentioned they happened but as for camera coverage and reporters covering them it just doesn’t exist.  If there were ten Code Pink people demonstrating about ANYTHING camera coverage and reporters covering this would have been all over the networks, and the newspapers would be showing them with all kinds of gimmicks to make the crowds look larger.  The same action would have been taken if there had been as many as ten people demonstrating against President Bush.  I expect this lack of coverage by the liberal news channels, but it would seem to me that Fox, unless it has become one of the liberal media itself, would have brought these tea parties some attention.  I have heard the tea parties mentioned but not shown, however, every word, phrase, or facial change of expression by Obama is reported on over, and over, and over.

Is his saying three words worth more than showing 5,000 demonstrators at a tea party?  How low has Fox gone, giving MSNBC type news.  The coverage of Obama by Ann Compton of ABC and Major Garrett of Fox is given with admiration and awe.  They seem to have the same feelings as Chris Matthews with his leg problem.  It seems strange to me how in news coverage it’s now Michelle and not Mrs. Obama.  It was Mrs. Truman, Mrs. Eisenhower, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Nixon, Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Reagan, Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Bush – but the only woman who wasn’t proud of her country is now “Michelle” in the news media, breathless at her fashion sense.

I don’t watch NBC, MSNBC, CBS and ABC, but I would imagine by now they have an alter to Michelle and Big O.  One of Michelle’s outfits causes more news than 5,000 tea party demonstrators – how sad.

There should be three special elections if we want to do the Democratic thing.  First would be the election between Al Franken and Norm Coleman – Franken, to run, had to pay back taxes owed in 17 states, which is a normal thing for Democrats when they seek office.  Coleman won by 625 votes, but when recount was done with a few crooked actions such as 30 ballots found in a car trunk (all for Franken) Franken was in the lead – how special.  Even though ACORN helped in the original election, Coleman won.  And now it would seem they have effectively stolen it from him.

Another election that needs re-doing is the one in Alaska, where charges were placed against Stevens a week before the election and Begich won by 4,000 votes – shades of the DUI charges against Bush the Friday before the election.

Another election needed is to replace Roland Burris, who gave perjured testimony.  Democracy demands that these actions be taken.  There should be a commission formed to spot-check the census counts that will be taken by ACORN, union workers, and possibly felons.  As you can see, the Obama administration is planning ahead.  They have stopped deporting illegal immigrants so they can be counted in the census.  They plan on changing many districts to increase their majority, and if they get away with it the nation will suffer.

As far as arrogance goes, speak for yourself Obama.  I don’t think those Americans that fell on Flanders Field in World War I were arrogant, as they were placed in French graves.  I don’t think that those Americans that fell on D-day and are placed in graves in rows in French soil were arrogant.  I don’t think the American citizens that paid the taxes to fund the Marshall plan to recover Europe were arrogant.  I think YOU, Obama, are an arrogant son of a camel.  I think Europe is arrogant, disrespectful, ungrateful, and have insulted our dead… you know, the ones who fell on THEIR soil.  And YOU, Obama, have insulted our dead and wounded soldiers and I DESPISE YOU.  It was arrogance that YOU showed when you FIRED a CEO of a company.  Why didn’t YOU fire the union leader that put this company in this position?  Because they are your hired guns and YOU are a low-down miserable wretch bent on destroying our country, which YOU probably don’t have the LEGAL RIGHT to be an American.

You surely don’t deserve to be an American much less the President.  You shame me, my own, and every proud member of America.  I know that you, your administration, and Timothy Geithner, that tax dodging jerk, have nefarious actions planned for banks and all kinds of industries, and I don’t know but I think the American people will STOP you.  I don’t believe you have enough gimme people in the Democratic party to allow you to override real Americans.  I wish Obama would stay in Europe where he is so appreciated and I would appreciate that.

In closing, I wish to say the evil men do live after them.  There is no good in your bones!

I have a bone to pick with McCain and Phil Gramm.  McCain says to us Conservatives “Calm down.” – might as well have said you are immature.  Phil Gramm may as well have said “Those who won’t vote as Conservatives for McCain are just a bunch of idiots!”  When McCain stands on principal, it is courageous, but Conservative voters who stand on principal are just a bunch of rednecks with no intellect.  My wish would be for Phil Gramm, Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett and others of that ilk would fade into the sunset.  Until those old mossbacks leave the Washington corridors of power and are replaced with outsiders, there will be no change in Washington.

The main reason that keeps me from working for the Democratic party is the power of the President to appoint people to the Supreme Court and lessor court positions.  I said I wouldn’t vote for McCain unless he changes his positions – I will NOT change mine!

Positions he’d have to change for my vote:

• He will have to say he will not allow amnesty for 20 million illegal immigrants to make the Democratic party so strong with the Latino vote that the Conservative party will not exist.
• He will have to make a statement that he will not attempt to deny free speech as he did with McCain/Feingold to protect incumbents in office.
• He will make an effort to allow drilling in ANWR.
• He will have to express himself to the terrorists being held in GITMO and not brought in to this nation for massive amounts of money to be paid to lawyers to defend their rights and give them Miranda rights from the taxpayers of this country.
• He will have to make someone, other than Huckabee, his Vice President, because after the West Virginia deal, it smelled fishy and looked like one of those old smoke filled back room deals of the past.
• He will have to say he will not allow embryonic stem cell research.
• He will have to say he will not make a lot of spending and spreading of government programs to fight global warming, which by the way does not exist.
• Did he actually say that Judge Scalia was TOO Conservative?  And will he confer with Democrats on his choices for judicial nominees?

As to the possibility of Huckabee being the nominee, he is a bigger hypocrite than McCain.

Now on an item that has a bearing on the election and on our daily lives, and that item is immigration.  The Statue of Liberty doesn’t say “Give me your felons, your drug smugglers, your rapists, your sick, your infected, your people in need of welfare, and not only this, but terrorists in disguise.”  Our borders, coasts, and ports leave MUCH to be desired.  Our customs inspectors are lax.  The State Department is completely ineffectual in its practices of giving passports and visas.  Until we get these practices corrected, we are more in danger from within than from without.

One little town in Arkansas having nine cases of leprosy and one hundred cases of tuberculosis should scare the hell out of all Americans who love their country.  See attached:

SPRINGDALE – The Arkansas Department of Health in Little Rock says some Northwest Arkansas doctors have wrong information that’s leading them to fears of leprosy cases.

The health department tells 5News because leprosy is such a rare disease, some Arkansas doctors often don’t have the most up-to-date information on it.

The health department says some doctors have incorrect information to begin with.

Thursday, Springdale Doctor Jennifer Bingham told 5News there were nine cases of leprosy in the Springdale Marshallese population.

Those cases are not new. In fact, the health department has been tracking them for the last two to three years.

Dr. Bingham contends people should be very concerned about contracting the disease. But the Arkansas Department of Health says: not true.

Officials argue there should be no cause for concern about a leprosy outbreak or epidemic in Northwest Arkansas.

Dr. James Phillips, an infectious disease expert with the Arkansas Department of Health, says only five percent of the population is susceptible to the disease. He says leprosy is not as contagious as a lot of people think it is.

“I think the problem is that very few physicians have had contact or experience dealing, seeing, or dealing with leprosy because it’s not a very common disorder in the United States or in Arkansas. And so they haven’t had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the most up-to-date information,” Dr.  Phillips told 5News reporter Mary Marsh on Friday.

“The conception is that it’s a very contagious disorder, but that turns out not to be true. And then as we learn more about the genetics involved, we understand that only a small percentage, only 5% of the population are susceptible,” says Phillips.

Dr. Phillips says the latest medical information shows only five percent of the population is susceptible to leprosy, which is typically spread through close contact with mucous or other bodily fluids, over a long period of time.

Because of these reasons, the health department wants to correct misinformed doctors, or concerned citizens, to say: a leprosy epidemic cannot occur.

Don’t you think more measures should be taken to reform our immigration policies?

May God continue to bless the USA!

To borrow a phrase from McCain: I would rather lose an election than vote for someone like McCain with his crooked straight talk.  I will not go into all the programs that he colluded with the Democrats on to further the Democratic agenda to the detriment of the Republican principals, but there are dozens of them.  I will not vote for someone who talks out of both sides of his mouth like Bill Clinton.  I can just see McCain considering what the meaning of is is, at the same time saying “I was the only one to support the surge.”  I guess he thinks all the rest of us out here who supported Bush in that endeavor mean nothing.

He has gotten a lot of endorsements from the old guard: Phil Gramm and Jack Kemp, looking to be Secretary of Treasury and financial advisers to McCain to push their programs and remain in the public eye.  Ted Olson wants to be on the Supreme Court.  Egos are guiding the endorsements and the old guard just doesn’t want to go away and fade into the sunset.  Until they do, the future remains somewhere in the future.

Now to go from a bad politician to a vicious, anti-American group called Code Pink.  Where they get their funding from is a question that needs to be asked – also how many of these traitors are on welfare or receiving some kind of government handouts?  The city of Berkley receives government funds; Berkley College receives government funds.  Why does the government and its agents, Senators, and members of Congress allow any funds to flow to terrorist organizations such as Code Pink, Berkley, and Berkley College?  All the current Presidential candidates should be asked about the Code Pink fiasco and be forced to give an opinion before the election.

Mexico – a blight on American Democracy, sending their people here to send money back to keep their government afloat.  They are up-in-arms about us closing the border and make no effort to contain their own people, which consist of drug smugglers, felons, coyote people smugglers, gang members, and other low-lives.  Now they are complaining that the border agents use tear gas against Mexicans throwing rocks at them at the border.  As far as I am concerned, they should have used rubber bullets or real bullets.  Mexico has been afforded too much courtesy and consideration by the U.S. government and the Bush administration.  McCain is worse than Bush on immigration and will place the final knife in the Republican party if he is elected.

Now let’s talk about lies and chicanery by Presidential candidates.  There is one master of this, and he is a master because the media has made him into an honest icon – NOT SO!  His lie against Romney in Florida was successful and points out the way that lies can be used to advantage if you have no principals.  I guess no one recalls the dirty tricks used in Michigan in 2000, which were one of the worst items in a dishonest politician’s quiver, and that was use of religion to separate people, as Huckabee has done.  All the media remembers is South Carolina and McCain accusing the Bush campaign of something they didn’t do.

After his loss, he worked with Feingold to take away free speech from groups or people who might disagree with a Presidential candidate as the election comes close.  McCain has many other arrows in his quiver to spread lies about his opponents, whoever they may be, as it becomes necessary.  How he has managed to keep himself considered a man of integrity after his antics in the Senate, especially since he lost his bid to become the Presidential nominee in 2000, never ceases to amaze me.

Huckabee allowing himself to be used as a stalking horse for McCain belies all his statements about his honesty and integrity.  I think he is hoping to become the Vice Presidential candidate with McCain.  Should this happen, it will be the death knell for the Republican party and I will be searching for a third party.

I can just imagine a McCain administration being run by the old guard, rallying around him, using him to be a bully in the bull pit to guide the American people in a certain direction, not necessarily the best thing for our country and our country’s future.  The insiders in Washington are so afraid of an outsider coming in and changing how they have been doing business all these years, that they will endorse anyone who helps to continue the same old boy kind of politics.  Some day there will be a purge of the old boys and the country will be able to leap into the future, finally.

I guess I should feel out of place, being out of the herd, but I have never wanted to be a member of the thundering herd, especially when, as of now, the thundering herd is going to stampede over a cliff.  I know it is a forlorn hope, but I still hope that the Conservative voters will WAKE UP.  If they don’t, they will live in a nightmare of politics as it exists now.

May God continue to bless the USA.

I am watching the actions of Congress with absolute wonder because of a couple of interrogation videos that saved American lives being destroyed.  The 9/11 commission that had enough Clinton people on it to cover his ass – now that commission is all upset because of these videos being destroyed.  Joe Biden, the plagiarist, calling for a special prosecutor; Teddy Kennedy, blowing steam about it with his record of either murder or leaving the scene of an accident… take your pick.  They were not calling for a special prosecutor when Sandy Berger stole a bunch of classified documents and destroyed THEM.  The 9/11 commission didn’t get upset by that.  Where is there objectivity?  I have no respect for them altogether or separately.

The New York Times must be all upset because some disloyal CIA agent wasn’t able to leak these videos to them.  Politicians pontificating about how this harms our credibility and image with the rest of the world – would a few hundred dead Americans improve our image and credibility?  Besides which, it may still be giving information for our day-to-day security now and in the future.  Huckabee says assertive interrogations are against the best interests of the USA.  Huckabee’s credibility is more at stake than ours.

He says the taxes he was advocating were for an emergency – not so.  Also, his plan for giving college tuition to children of illegal immigrants is now abandoned and he is re-writing or flip-flopping on his immigration program.  He was advocating opening up a dialogue with Cuba.  Now he has changed this also.  Is that a flip-flop?  He is a very smooth talker, sanctimonious, and full of hypocrisy.  I am what they call a born again Christian in fly-over country.  I have seen the light and have been to the mountain, but I will never use my religion for gain, and I was taught that by my parents who were not real religious.

I will list three things from the Bible that Huckabee should study:

1. These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
2. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
3. carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness.

I am not a goody goody two shoes, but I take comfort in four words from the 23rd Psalm: He restoreth my soul.

I know I can have no input on the political process, but I would like to suggest this: Every four years of election, some other state should be first before Iowa and continue until every state has been first.  This will take away the play on religion every political season.  I think this is dangerous to our democracy and should be stopped.  I know I have no chance to sway or affect votes, but I will continue to give my opinion.  I did not like the way the Republican Presidential candidates soft-pedaled their views on illegal immigration in front of Hispanic voters.

I know that Lincoln freed the slaves and the Republicans forced the 1964 Civil Rights Act over the Democratic objections, but the black votes go, in the majority, to the Democrats.  The Democrats lie and sing to the Choir to get their votes.  The Hispanic vote goes, primarily, to the Democrats, and that will continue because of the Democrats mastery of propaganda when it comes to the electorate.  When and if the 20 million, not 12 million, illegal immigrants ever get citizenship and vote, the Republican party is FINISHED.  So for the Republican party to survive, it is necessary to eliminate the problem.  After all, the Democrats somehow manage to have illegals and felons votes, even though they are not suppose to vote.  They also manage to have dead people vote.  That is why they pushed the Voter Motor Act and resist people having to show ID to vote.

I got a kick out of Bill saying Hillary is not getting good press.  Don’t forget, she gives less access to the press than any of the other candidates.  Don’t sell Hillary short – don’t forget, the Democrats were able to vote in a draft dodger, rapist, and sexual aggressor for TWO terms!

With China’s actions in not allowing our ships entry into their ports and trying to break into our intelligence, I think we should boycott their Olympics.  I think we should boycott NBC and General Electric.

Don’t forget the flags.  May God continue to bless the USA and save us from Hillary’s paranoia.
