The Obama Hate Machine Cranks Up
By JBC | August 29, 2008
Even before she uttered her first words as a VP candidate, Governor Sarah Palin is already under attack from the famous Obama “Hate Machine”. The same thugs who belittled Hillary Clinton for months has already turned on McCain’s VP choice, attacking her small town roots, dismissing her executive experience (the only person on either ticket with executive experience), and we know that all of it is underpinned with the same kind of hidden mysogenism used against his Democratic opponent.
The Barak Mafia put out the following comment: “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same.” This coming from a presidential candidate with ZERO foreign policy experience, almost ZERO votes of substance, and nothing but the same old socialist rhetoric.
McCain makes an ad congratulating Obama on his big day, but the Obama Hate Machine attacks the Governor of Alaska on her big day? How well will that play in Peoria and Pensacola?
That is the kind of change you can expect from BHO and Biden. How refreshing is that?

Sarah Palin - The Perfect Choice?
By JBC | August 29, 2008
I’m jumping on this one early. It makes sense, and it looks like all the pieces are in place. It seems that John McCain may make a bold move by selecting Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential candidate. This could all be moot in a couple of hours as we are staring down a McCain-Ridge or McCain-Whitman ticket, but let’s just take a look at Palin, the possible perfect choice.
The Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, will shake up the race for the White House. I have been on record many times stating that this is the worst choice of presidential candidates ever. I stand by that firmly. Last night’s fireworks display, not rhetorical fireworks (those were simply the same old mundane blah, blah, socialism, blah, blah, change, blah, socialism, blah), and big set and talk of the “American promise” (which seems to mean a promise of cradle to grave government support), could be completely upstaged by a true new face on the scene.
This choice will, seemingly, shore up conservative support due to her pro-life stance and her pro-2nd amendment stance. She is also a supporter of drilling in ANWR, and should be familar with that issue, since she governs the state. She should excite female voters, because she will be only the second ever choice for VP and the first one (Ferraro-Mondale had NO CHANCE of winning) with a real shot at being successful. She’s approachable, a mother of five, and well…it doesn’t hurt that she was a runner-up for Miss Alaska…really?
Governor Palin is young, only 44, but she is the MOST POPULAR governor in America. While she will be attacked for lack of experience, she has more LEADERSHIP experience than all three of the other major players combined. They have only been very unsuccessful legislative flunkies in Washington, who have accomplished nothing. This woman has actually had to LEAD a state. She reduced Alaskan property taxes 60% andreduced her own salary while serving as mayor of Wasilla.
Sarah Palin defeated a sitting Republican governor, and former Democratic governor who outspent her, on the way to becoming the youngest governor in Alaska history. Immediately, she put the state governor’s jet up for sale, and said Alaskans should be more self-sufficient and rely less on federal funds. She is also famous for killing the famous “Bridge to Nowhere”.
While I am a libertarian, a big supporter of Ron Paul, and have developed a healthy hate for recent GOP candidates to go along with total fear of the Democrats and their Big Brother socialism, this choice seems like a breath of fresh air. I’m not convinced that she could be a true change in politics as normal, but she seems like a far more acceptable candidate than the other big government dinosaurs with names on the major party tickets. This could be first truly interesting development in the two-year long presidential campaign, well, since Ron Paul decided to run.

Ted the Red Energizes Freak Show
By JBC | August 26, 2008
Ted Kennedy, the water boy for Left-Wing America, managed to waddle into Denver to address a motley and scary congregation. Some say it was a tearful emotional experience, and I have no doubt that the heartstrings of all good welfare-state architects were taxed to the limit. And no doubt his words left America with the feeling they would be taxed to the limit. Let’s dissect what Red Ted said.
“I have come here tonight to stand with you to change America, to restore its future, to rise to our best ideals, and to elect Barack Obama president of the United States.”
–to change America means what? This is a fight which was enjoined when Obama used that phrase for the 100th time, and it became viral. The only change I have heard proposed is one of an even larger government, taking over even more sectors of our society. Additionally, I suppose a part of their change is the ceding of national authority over sticky matters like our foreign policy to international bodies, to free our government workers to devise even more diabolical domestic control mechanisms. What else can change mean? It certainly doesn’t mean less government, as the Democrats haven’t stood for that since Grover Cleveland. But, to “restore its future”, what exactly does that mean? When was the future erased? It will happen, for better or worse. I can only surmise that he means a continuation into the future of a shift toward ever more government control of our lives. Okay, let’s continue.
“But we have never lost our belief that we are all called to a better country and a newer world.”
–A better country…I guess that means a more socialist country? Better in what respect? Less guns and less Bibles and less disposable income? I think it is pretty clear. Now, when he says a “newer world”, I think the medication is talking. That just doesn’t make sense.
“And this is the cause of my life — new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American — north, south, east, west, young, old — will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.We can meet these challenges with Barack Obama. Yes, we can, and finally, yes, we will.” (Thunderous applause from the Church of the Weird in Denver)
–Now the gravy is on the biscuit. Health care as a fundamental R I G H T. My friends, that is an unencoded demand for national healthcare. A call to break the gridlock, meaning they will break the will of those that think socialism is truly evil and will destroy all to which it is applied, and finally succumb to the global sweep of governmental control of every aspect of our lives, which was not halted by the fall of the Iron Curtain.
“Barack Obama will close the book on the old politics of race and gender and group against group and straight against gay.”
–Actually, he will continue the old politics of race and gender by continuing affirmative action programs. But, he will open the book on the new politics of class warfare and moral relativism against traditional values.
And Barack Obama will be a commander in chief who understands that young Americans in uniform must never be committed to a mistake, but always for a mission worthy of their bravery.
–Meaning that he will intervene only in foreign countries and start only foreign wars on which Democrats can agree, those similar to Kosovo, Bosnia, Haiti, Somalia, Vietnam, and Korea…those, as we know, were CERTAINLY not mistakes.
“We are told that Barack Obama believes too much in an America of high principle and bold endeavor, but when John Kennedy called of going to the moon, he didn’t say it’s too far to get there. We shouldn’t even try.”
–Actually, Ted, what we said was we can’t elect you, because YOU are too far out there, and we shouldn’t even try to sober you up.
And this November the torch will be passed again to a new generation of Americans, so with Barack Obama and for you and for me, our country will be committed to his cause. The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on.
–This sounds familiar, compare: “But isn’t it self-evident that we need to get new blood and new strength into the CC CPSU? We are getting older and shall sooner or later die, but we must think into whose hands we shall give this torch of our great undertaking, who will carry it onward and reach the goal of communism? For this we need younger people with more energy, dedicated comrades and political leaders”. - Joseph Stalin’s last speech, 1952
Uncle Ted and Uncle Joe passing the torches and tugging at hearts. Stalin begat Khrushchev, who proclaimed to Ted’s older brother, “we will bury you”. Ironically, it looks more likely that our final spades of earth will be administered by one of Kennedy’s own.
