Obama Vs. McCain? Then it's on like Donkey Kong!

Obama is all smiles since North Carolina followed South Carolina's path in securing a Democratic primary win for Sen. Barack Obama. The mainstream media--who has often shown nothing but love for Obama and all his warts--has primarily given Obama a free ride through the primary as he has stumped "hope" and "unification" but has shown us nothing but "separation" and "bitterness"-from his wife to his Pastor.

The MSM has now essentially declared Obama the winner of the Democratic nomination but there's something it appears to be missing. Nothing could be more beneficial to the Republican party than the Demowhits nominating the most far left liberal in the U.S. Senate. The Democratic party saw what happens when they nominate a troop degrading flaming liberal during the 2004 election. How do you think patriotic Americans on both sides of the aisle will react to Senator Barack Obama?

Obama is a man who fought against the born alive infant protection act, takes money from the likes of far left loonies Code Pink, has been thrown fundraisers by homegrown terrorists such a William Ayers and has received the eager endorsement of everyone from Hamas to Louis Farrakhan. These are feats that not even John Kerry managed to accomplish. While the mainstream media and sometimes even John McCain may be hesitant to drive home the obvious, don't think level headed Americans will hesitate to inform each other of the contradictions and "audacity" of Barack Obama.

Barack Obama is the winner you say? Bring it on liberals! Many of us still actually love America and will take the grown up route when it comes time to vote in November. It takes far than a "pretty" yet hypocritical speech to run America.

In fact, I have a donation request sitting on my kitchen table at this very moment from Sen. John McCain. Although McCain is not my ideal choice for the presidency, the day the Democratic party nominates B. Hussein Obama is the day I write the check and sign up to help him out. Don't think there are not more voters in America who are thinking the exact same thing.

Something's seriously not "Wright" with Oprah.

Newsweek magazine has a new article for its May 12, 2008 issue that studies talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey's reasons for leaving the church she once shared with Barack Obama-Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

The article states that Winfrey left the church primarily due to the antics of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. However upon further inspection, it doesn't appear to be Wright's belligerent racism or his apparent hate for the country that has afforded Oprah so much opportunity that lead to her departure. It appears her concerns centered more around her bank account and the desire to start her own cultic movement.

Forbes ranked Oprah as the wealthiest women in entertainment and noted that she was the only "black female billionaire." They estimated her net worth at $1500 million and that she pockets an estimated $225 million annually from TV (including shows starring Dr. Phil McGraw and Rachael Ray, produced by Oprah's Harpo Productions), satellite radio, magazines and other multimedia endeavors.

Unlike her friend Obama, Oprah apparently preconceived the idea of what an alliance with Wright could possibly do to her public image and hence her empire.

"Oprah is a businesswoman, first and foremost," said one longtime friend, who requested anonymity when discussing Winfrey's personal sentiments. "She's always been aware that her audience is very mainstream, and doing anything to offend them just wouldn't be smart," states the Newsweek article.

Oprah did not have the same foresight when she jumped aboard the Obama campaign train that was reluctant to leave "Wright Station." She has been in constant backlash from her fans due to her campaign activities and loud support for the presidential campaign for Sen. Barack Obama. A simple search of the term "Oprah backlash" in Google will load hundreds of thousands of pages.

As for the spiritual side of Oprah, it appears that she left Trinity with plans to build her own "church" that centered less around the wacky beliefs of Jeremiah Wright's and more around the wacky beliefs of her own mind.

In conversations with a former business associate, who also asked for anonymity, Winfrey cited her fatigue with organized religion at the time of her departure from Trinity . "There is the Church of Oprah now," said her longtime friend. "She has her own following," the Newsweek article states.

Oprah now offers her followers online courses in her own new age religion that mostly centers around a book titled "A Course in Miracles. " The book was written by Dr. Helen Schucman, an atheist and psychologist, that wrote the course under the direction of an "inner voice."

She also uses her talk show as a pulpit for her beliefs. She recently told viewers that she doesn't believe there is one God, and is currently pushing and promoting study on a book that says man made God.

Long gone are the days of Oprah respectability.

Michelle Obama: Oh No You Didn't Hillary

The Obama camp's frustrations over recent events has never been more apparent than it was on Friday though Senator Barack Obama's wife, Michelle.

At a Durham, NC event, Michelle Obama made it clear that the heavy baggage of the Jeremiah Wright controversy combined with Hillary's continued presence in the race is weighing on her husband.

She said that her husband was sick of the battle against Clinton. "We were taught that you don't rip your opponents to pieces, you don't leave them on the roadside."

"We knew from the start of this race that we were taking on the most formidable machine in Democratic politics," said Obama's chief strategist David Axelrod. "It's in full display right now. She's tenacious and she can multiply her reach because her husband is working just as hard as either of the candidates."

"Barack has been characterized as many things that have nothing to do with who he is," she said. He is thinking "I can't let my ego, my anger, my frustration get in the way of the ultimate goal."

She also said that the only thing that was keeping her husband's emotions in check was his desire for "change" in politics.

Obama's Divide and Conquer Homosexual Agenda

Sen. Barack Obama recently sat down with a homosexual news service to discuss his plans to advance the homosexual agenda.

Obama first assured the homosexual community that he has nothing but love for "gay issues," after the interviewer talked about his silence on the matter.

"I don’t think it’s fair to say "silence" on gay issues. The gay press may feel like I’m not giving them enough love."

"But I haven’t been silent on gay issues. What’s happened is, I speak oftentimes to gay issues to a public general audience. When I spoke at Ebenezer Church for King Day, I talked about the need to get over the homophobia in the African-American community; when I deliver my stump speeches routinely I talk about the way that antigay sentiment is used to divide the country and distract us from issues that we need to be working on, and I include gay constituencies as people that should be treated with full honor and respect as part of the American family."

"So I actually have been much more vocal on gay issues to general audiences than any other presidential candidate probably in history."

Obama went on to speak about what he hopes to accomplish on the homosexual agenda check list if elected to the highest office in the land-including eliminating "don't ask, don't tell" and passing a transgender-inclusive, Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

"I have been clear about my interest in including gender identity in legislation, but I’ve also been honest with the groups that I’ve met with that it is a heavy lift through Congress. We’ve got some Democrats who are willing to vote for a noninclusive bill, but we lose them on an inclusive bill, and we just may not be able to generate the votes. I don’t know. And obviously, my goal would be to get the strongest possible bill -- that’s what I’ll be working for."

"The third thing I believe I can get done is in dealing with federal employees, making sure that their benefits, that their ability to transfer health or pension benefits the same way that opposite-sex couples do, is something that I’m interested in making happen and I think can be done with some opposition, some turbulence, but I think we can get that done."

He was asked by the interviewer if he was referring to the Defense of Marriage Act, which seeks to protect the sanctity of marriage and ensures protection of a individual state's right not to recognize gay marriages performed in other states. "Absolutely," he said, "and I for a very long time have been interested in repeal of DOMA."

The interviewer also spoke about an event in South Carolina where Obama allowed Donnie McClurkin to "get up onstage for a sort of antigay rant." He offered the following explanation.

"I tell you what -- my campaign is premised on trying to reach as many constituencies as possible and to go into as many places as possible, and sometimes that creates discomfort or turbulence. If you’re segmenting your base into neat categories and constituency groups and you never try to bring them together and you just speak to them individually -- so I keep the African-Americans neatly over here and the church folks neatly over there and the LGBT community neatly over there -- then these kinds of issues don’t arise."

Obama speaks of "uniting" the country but his comments make it clear that he prefers to separate his audience into categories and adjust his actions accordingly.

Translating The Wright Stuff

Barack Obama is yet again trying to distance himself from his former pastor and spiritual advisor Rev. Jeremiah Wright who recently went on national media to defend of his racist and hateful sermons that are out of touch with reality. However Wright appears to know where Obama's loyalties truly lie.

When talking to the National Press Club on Monday he offered the following words.

"We both know that, if Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected."

"Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls, Huffington, whoever's doing the polls," he continued. "Preachers say what they say because they're pastors. They have a different person to whom they're accountable.

"As I said, whether he gets elected or not, I'm still going to have to be answerable to God November 5th and January 21st ," said Wright. "That's what I mean. I do what pastors do. He does what politicians do."

The translation:

Yes I still believe all the nutty things I've said before and so does Obama. He's not sticking up for me at the moment because he has to convince voters that he's not as far out there as I am.

Inasmuch I have followers, I must keep slinging this lunacy while people are still paying attention to me. My five minutes of fame are almost up.

Obama Advisor: Gay Jesus videos is blasphemy? OOPS!

Barack Obama advisor and possible future Chief Technology Director for the White House, Larry Lessig, seems a little perturbed about us irritating Christians who did not appreciate his broadcasting of the video that showed a gay and naked--unless you count the diaper--Jesus Christ dancing through city streets singing "I will survive" before being hit by a bus.

He has agreed to stop using the video in presentations and offered the following excuses-ooops I mean explanations-for his actions:

(1) I did not make the "Jesus Christ: The Musical" video. Javier Prato did.

(2) I used the video in probably 5 or 6 out of 200 talks over the last three years, in the section of my talks in which I show examples of "remix" creativity.

(3) I show these videos not because I endorse the message, or even believe in the message. For example, here's a fantastically clever video about John Kerry I showed dozens of times during the 2004 election. It makes fun of Kerry -- the man I supported for President. The point was not the substance of the message; it was to demonstrate the spread of the technique.

(4) The Jesus video was relevant to the story I was telling because the artist was threatened by the copyright holders because of the video.

(5) I decided to stop using the video when one Christian whom I knew told me he thought unhelpful to the purpose for which I was using it. That seemed right, so I dropped it.

Lessing goes on to write: "It will be interesting (in a root canal kind of way) to see how far or deep PC-ism runs in this society."

Let me be sure I have this right. This is a guy who willingly provides support and advice to Barack Obama and he is complaining about the "PC Patrol?" Every time someone calls the foul on Obama, the "Obama-nites" rush in to call them racist and worst.

Forgive me Lessing, if my sympathy card to you is somehow lost.

McCain's Obama Love-Please Just Shut Up!

In case you guys didn't notice, I'm a Republican. I never really say it in articles because I don't want to even "pretend" to represent the Republican party in them-even though my "favorite" reader in the party accuses me of doing just that on an ongoing basis. The blog and news articles I write represents me, myself and I-not the party.

If you have read my articles from the past, you know that I was in no way jumping for joy at the idea of Sen. John McCain receiving the Republican nomination. In my own mind I've been trying to focus on the good qualities of McCain (and there are many) to justify a vote for him.

I personally feel that there is only one candidate left in the race for the presidency that truly represents Republican ideals and that Republican candidate is now on another ticket-Alan Keyes. Alan Keyes is now running for president on the Constitution Party ticket.

The media has had much to say about rogue crossover Republican voters casting votes for Sen. Barack Obama and a part of me is tempted to become one of them. However my temptation is not to vote for Obama but for Alan Keyes.

It would take me a lot to make me vote against a party to which I am very loyal. There are a few reasons for this.

1. I love the Republican party and its platform. I am a Republican.
2. Even a weak Republican is better than the strongest Democrat on any given day.
3. If I do a crossover vote for a third party candidate and he or she does not win, I've essentially helped elect a Democrat.
4. When a Republican candidate is not living up to standards, you need to fight for the party and its ideals, not against it. Essentially, the candidate needs to be schooled.

However sometimes candidates like John McCain make it hard and so far the only thing that has stopped me from going full force for Alan Keyes is the fact that McCain may be going up against a new kind of evil-Senator Barack Obama.

The latest example of McCain seriously getting under my skin involves McCain's backlash against an ad run by the North Carolina GOP. You may see this video below. If you have trouble viewing this video, click here.



The "Obama love" from John McCain is seriously getting old. There are plenty of Republican candidates who would have kept their mouth shut about this ad and there are plenty of hardcore Republicans who see zero problem with the truth.

If John McCain feels that this is some kind of "racist" ad, that's fine-but he's dead wrong. Exposing liberal racism and hate does not a racist make.

John McCain is in a prime position right now. His current Democratic opponents are tearing themselves apart. Whoever he faces off against in November is going to be battered and bruised. He has nothing to lose but everything to gain by simply keeping his mouth shut. Making comments that divides his own party does him no good.

So do me a favor John McCain, just shut up already and my hat is off to the NCGOP. Please keep up the good work. We Republicans need you.

Obama's Jewels: Michael Moore and More

As the bloody Democratic battle continues to wage, candidate Barack Obama continues to pick up endorsement jewels for his "King Liberal" crown.

Film maker Michael Moore, who praises Cuba's communist-controlled dilapidated health care system over the advanced system available in America, has said that he originally intended to remain neutral in the Democratic primary. Yet "was led to speak out after last week's debate in Philadelphia when Obama was questioned about his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright."

In a written Obama endorsement, Moore further discussed the actions that lead to his epiphany.

"I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple," he said.

Former president Jimmy Carter, who recently returned from his brunch with Hamas, has also been hinting at an Obama endorsement. He has said that although he has made his decision he will not officially release the information until at least June 3. He also added, "my little town of Plains voted for Obama, and as you know my state of Georgia voted for Obama, and all of my children, all of my grandchildren, and all of their spouses are for Obama."

Fox News reported on Sunday that Carter has also teamed up with Al Gore for the task of sending a message to Obama's rival, Senator Hillary Clinton, that she should get lost.

"They’re in discussions," a source close to Carter reportedly told The Scotsman newspaper. "Carter has been talking to Gore. They will act, possibly together, or in sequence."

Obama Receives Endorsement from Hamas

On Sunday, Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Prime Minister of Hamas, gave an interview with a New York radio station (WABC) to praise Jimmy Carter's meeting with the terrorist group he represents. During the interview he made it clear that Hamas has nothing but love for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and gave him a glowing endorsement.

Yousef called Obama a man of "great character." "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election, he said." Why? "He has a vision to change America."

Rep. Steve King of Iowa recently came under fire by the media for making the following statements. "I will tell you that if he is elected president, the radical Islamists, the al-Qa’ida and the radical Islamists and their supporters will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11th. Because they will declare victory in this War on Terror."

Now that Obama has received his Hamas endorsement, is there any realistic doubt in the truth behind King's statements? Where is the mainstream media now?

Oh Boy! Another Obama Apology?

Once again a Republican candidate is apologizing to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. This time no one did something as outrageous as calling the man by his name (Hussein). This time it was for something different.

"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Congressman Geoff Davis said during a speech at a dinner event in Kentucky. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."

Davis, rightfully received praise from the audience after the remark but later came under fire from some who saw the reference to an African-American as a "boy" as racist.

After coming under fire, did Davis point out that he was referring to the same person who once talked about invading Pakistan but wants to sip tea with Iran? Did he explain that this statement has nothing to do with race but has everything to do with Obama's immature outlook and total lack of experience in foreign policy? No. Davis simply offered Obama an apology.

"My poor choice of words is regrettable and was in no way meant to impugn you or your integrity," Davis said in a letter to Obama. "I offer my sincere apology to you and ask for your forgiveness." See letter.

It appears to me that is time for some Republican politicians to stand up for the truth behind words and stop cowering under left wing pressure. Doing so helps separate the men from the boys.
