Hmmmm . . . . we may want to add both a giant bowtie and a Cub Scout beanie cap to the outfit, though. What do you think?

OK, tell me what Obama’s plans are for them.

So far the only one we have a definite plan for besides just hoping things go well (after all Obama is in charge, and being the Hope of the World everything will work) is Iraq and his is an unmitigated disaster. He even acknowledges that things have changed but his plan remains the same.

There have been a few other things he said something concrete about, say like hating FISA but then turning around and voting for it. We are just too stupid to understand how that isn’t being consistent – I guess he figured out using the word “nuanced” didn’t work before so now he just directly calls us stupid.

Of course, this isn’t really a bad campaign strategy for him – after all it gives those that are in his hip pocket the ability to say things like “Anyone want to talk about the real issues at stake in this election?” and know that none of us can talk about what he believes. People can then fill in whatever it is they want him to do and hope that is what he also believes.

It *is* a real issue that Obama has no plans past just his mere presence and hoping things go right. It *is* a real issue that Obama thinks he has become “a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions”. There is a reason the word “Demagogy” isn’t considered a good thing to do.

Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant

i wish people would wake up… this applies to fanatics of all stripes. there doestn need to be a majority of them, just enouhg of them in the right places.

so many people remember the experiences of the last century but refuse to beleive its happening again. slower maybe, but happening still.

i learned on my trip to indonesia, that they are more free there (and happier though poor), than we are here.

glad your son has a dad!!!!!
(and a mom too of course, but dads are in short order today)

my stories are darker, so i will just leave an old joke..

Three workers find themselves locked up, and they ask each other what they’re in for. The first man says: “I was always ten minutes late to work, so I was accused of sabotage.” The second man says: “I was always ten minutes early to work, so I was accused of espionage.” The third man says: “I always got to work on time, so I was accused of having a Western watch.”

and a suggested read…

Special Report: Red Faces Over Obama’s Red Mentor
http://www.aim.org/aim-column/special-report-red-faces-over-obamas-red-mentor/

==================

You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time. Lincoln

Artfldgrs addition: But if your socialist/communist, you only have to fool them once.

My young son asked what that meant. “It means they’re communists, but trying not to be too obvious about it.”

Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism
http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=302137342405551

to those with enough historical knowlege, obama speaks a clear language. to those who disbelieve that such things can be real, the language affords deniability. it facilitates the denial of those who wish to side in a personal version with the situation, but not be responsible for the outcome.

make no bones about it, all the communists around the globe have been ordered to facilitate this change agent.

During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served,” he said at the group’s 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.

Democrat Barack Obama arrives in Washington on Monday. On the campaign trail, Obama has styled himself a centrist. But a look at those who’ve served as his advisers and mentors over the years shows a far more left-leaning tilt to his background — and to his politics.
And as president, “we’ll ensure that economic justice is served,” he asserted. “That’s what this election is about.” Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn’t have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.
It’s the rest of the public that remains in the dark, which is why we’re launching this special educational series.
“Economic justice” simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It’s a euphemism for socialism.
In the past, such rhetoric was just that — rhetoric. But Obama’s positioning himself with alarming stealth to put that rhetoric into action on a scale not seen since the birth of the welfare state.
In his latest memoir he shares that he’d like to “recast” the welfare net that FDR and LBJ cast while rolling back what he derisively calls the “winner-take-all” market economy that Ronald Reagan reignited (with record gains in living standards for all).

remember this was the idea that said it was ok to starve the kulaks (and to designate at least one kulak per town, even if there werent any).

its a recipe for stagnation that people will vote for and not understand what they are getting till after the crooked sale is made.

its not like this hasnt happened many times before… but always to a less slick polity.

too bad it had to happen in my lifetime, since it was too bad it happened to my grandparents and parents…

this is how they can complain that a bail out costs 25 to 100 billion, and thats horrible, but an 840 bln tax to redistrubute wealth to the countries who are destroyed by it and waste it, and cant grow as long as they get it, is a social good.

The seeds of his far-left ideology were planted in his formative years as a teenager in Hawaii — and they were far more radical than any biography or profile in the media has portrayed.

(A video-streamed bio on Obama’s Web site includes a photo of him teaching in a University of Chicago classroom. If you freeze the frame and look closely at the blackboard Obama is writing on, you can make out the words “Power Analysis” and “Relationships Built on Self Interest” — terms right out of Alinsky’s rule book.)

this is why every country that is moving to communist socialism, that he toured, greeted him as an anointed leader, not a runner.

they want him to change america, the way that hitler cahnged germany, lenin and stalin changed russia, mao changed china, etc.

we dont realize that under lincolns maxim, all you have to do is fool all of the people once.

once the change happens, the declaration of independence doesnt exist. even if we recover, we will endlessly argue as to the failed construction of a new one that will be decidedly more feudal than free.

there would be no way to reratify the old one back.

Now how can he say something like that with a straight face?

Next up: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

Loud guffaws would constitute the appropriate response to either statement.

those who put him up, have coordinated their ‘friends’ all over the world to do everything they can to get him into office, even if that means making it look like he is already in office.

this more than anything should show how far and deep the manipulations go.
