The 2012 campaign is going to be long road. So far the press is turning over every rock they can find to dig up dirt on Mitt Romney. There’s nothing wrong with that. That’s what the press is supposed to do. Let’s just say the press is a little more zealous about going after Romney than they ever have been with Obama. I mean… Obama just cracks me up. His agent pushed a bio for Obama that claimed the President was born in Kenya. A one-time mistake I get, but it was on the agency’s website until 2007. Am I supposed to believe Barack Obama didn’t notice the error for over 15 years?
The crazy people will believe this masks some sinister birth certificate conspiracy, but that’s not the point. Barack Obama is a fraud. He never corrected the error because for a time the “idea” of being born in Kenya helped his “story.” Liberals love to create myths about themselves in order to speak about topics with more authority. Who knows more about race relations than a real African American? A man born in Kenya! Mark Steyn always says it better than me…
If your first book is an exploration of racial identity and has the working title “Journeys in Black and White,” being born in Hawaii doesn’t really help. It’s entirely irrelevant to the twin pillars of contemporary black grievance — American slavery and European imperialism. To 99.99 percent of people, Hawaii is a luxury-vacation destination and nothing else. Whereas Kenya puts you at the heart of what, in an otherwise notably orderly decolonization process by the British, was a bitter and violent struggle against the white man’s rule. Cool! The composite chicks dig it, and the literary agents.
Exactly! The same thing is going on with Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts. Warren has claimed for years to have Cherokee blood in her veins. The list of ridiculous claims made by Warren increases every day. Have these people any shame? It all goes back to “fake but accurate” and the “ends justify the means,” the twin pillars of liberalism.
The liberal cause for social justice means whatever these people do is justified. When CBS manufactured evidence against Bush in the 2004 election it really didn’t matter because they believed so strongly it was true. If the Washington Post believes that a massacre in Utah that happened over 150 years ago is relevant in the 2012 election shouldn’t they send someone to Kenya and find out what Obama’s ancestors were doing in the 1800s? I’ll save them some time: it’s irrelevant. However, the fact Obama created a story to further his literary career says a lot about the man in the Oval Office.
“The Earth is running out of resources!” Yep, that’s been the battle cry of intelligentsia for centuries. There are real problems in the world. There’s not enough clean water. There are too many socialists in the world. There are too many totalitarians exploiting their populations. Liberals are beset by problems that don’t exist and they ignore real problems because they either don’t fit their political interests or due to political correctness.
In 2000, the World Wrestling Federation had to change its name to World Wrestling Entertainment because the World Wide Fund for Nature had already trademarked WWF. It’s fitting that these two organizations would butt heads. Not only did they share a name in common, but they’re both organizations based on fantasy. I’m not sure it’s always been like this for the World Wide Fund for Nature, but gauging by some of the nonsense coming out of that organization lately they’re an official nonsense producer. Don’t agree… how do you explain this headline: “WWF Living Planet Report Warns That By 2030 Two Earths Will Be Needed To Sustain Our Lifestyles?” Well then!
I don’t have the time or the energy to go into every single stupid claim in the article. I’ll leave that to others, but this type of thinking is hardly new. A couple of days ago the New York Times published an op-ed titled “We Could Be Heroes.” The premise was if we eat less meat we can save the world from global warming.
What does is that few people take the role of livestock in producing greenhouse gases seriously enough. Even most climate change experts focus on new forms of energy — which cannot possibly be effective quickly enough or produced on a broad enough scale to avert what may be the coming catastrophe — and often ignore the much easier fix of adjusting our eating habits
I’d argue the opposite. When there’s a New York Times article like this we’ve plainly reached the point where too many people take the role of livestock in producing greenhouse gases seriously. Such is the state of higher education that we have a whole class of brainwashed morons whose only contributions to society are stupid theories about climate change, economics, race relations and bullying. You can’t maintain a decaying republic with a bunch of people who only know what their brain-dead professors passed on as wisdom.
It’s easier to act like you know what you’re talking about when you have a piece of paper in your hands. But what if that piece of paper becomes meaningless? I think the act is almost over.
According to a new book entitled The Amateur, Jeremiah Wright was offered $150,000 to shut up by Team Obama surrogates in 2008. While this type of revelation is normally a big thing, it probably won’t get anywhere in the state-controlled press. The Washington Post published a hit piece on Romney about some pranks in high school. They’ve already had to post a correction to the non-story. Such was the rush by the liberal rag to hit Romney that nothing in the article was verified. When Rick Perry was in the race some idiot found a rock in Texas and it was a story. It’s unbelievable how far the press will go to manufacturer stories on Republicans and here we are four years into Obama and no one has ever bothered to vet the guy.
“Did Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?”
“Yes,” Wright said. “Barack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, ‘You’re used to coming to my home, you’ve been here countless times, so what’s wrong with coming to my home?’ So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I don’t know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.
“And one of the first things Barack said was, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’
I’m not sure Wright had to shut up. For some reason McCain decided not to make it an issue. The press acted and still continues to act that President Obama didn’t have a close relationship with an extremist. The press and the Obama campaign want to talk about Romney, but the race is about Obama, his failed liberal policies, and the economy. Rasmussen Reports shows Romney up by four points at the moment and the President continues to move to the left. It seems like the only thing Team Obama has on Romney is nonsense about jobs being shipped overseas and Swiss bank accounts. You know, the real issues facing the average American. It’s going to be easy to paint Romney as someone who isn’t in touch with middle America. The problem for Obama is that no one believes he is either.
The issue of gay marriage has never really been about gay marriage. It’s always been about acceptance. As the President said in 2008 marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. I could really care less what the state thinks. The bond is before God. It’s not before the state. We live in one of the most tolerant times in American history. I have no problems with homosexuals. I don’t have problems with adulterers, liars, fornicators, and all manner of sinners. Christians aren’t in position to judge others, but we’re also not in position to ignore what is sinful. Many people have taken to calling Christians bigots for simply believing in the Word of God.
I mention this because President Obama has now reversed his position on gay marriage. I don’t think anyone actually believed Obama’s initial position. He said what he had to say to get elected. It’s what politicians do. This reminds me of how Romney’s views on abortion evolved into a pro-life position.
What are Obama’s Christian convictions? He voted for infanticide in Illinois. He thought marriage was a sacred bond between a man and woman before God. What is it now? He says he talked it over with his wife and daughters and now he’s evolved? What about God? This is the state of leadership in the United States. Mitt Romney and President Obama will say anything to advance their political careers. There is no right or wrong to these reprobates.
The New York Times has a piece about evangelical Christians. It’s written in the same tone as a story about someone studying a long lost tribe in Indonesia. I’m not surprised. Most people don’t understand Christians because they’re not Christians. It’s the fallacy of the world to think that we’ve got everything figured out. Accepting Christ as my Savior means accepting the fact I don’t have it all figured out. The world can’t tell you how we got here.
There’s not much to be gained from the article itself, but I found the comments interesting. There are plenty of comments from liberal Christians. These are the people who vote for Obama and the Democratic party even though they’re the party of infanticide.
I voted for Mr. Obama because the core of Christianity is care for one another – which in this country requires government intervention to halt the astonishing and oppressive re-distribution of wealth that has been going on for the last decade and that is compromising the welfare of an alarming percentage of our population.
This comment was from Diana in Maryland. It’s not likely that Diana will ever read what I’m writing, but if she was to read this I would tell her that her faith in mankind flies in the face Jesus’ teaching. Jesus called on the individual to do the right thing, not the state. Jesus didn’t ask the Roman Empire to free the slaves, provide universal health care, or redistribute wealth. Believing in the goodness of mankind doesn’t work because mankind is inherently evil.
Economic greed is the same as political greed. As individuals we have the power to influence and help the people around us. Putting our faith in mankind is naïve. The nature of bureaucracy is to make things worse. Time and time again vast bureaucracies have been created to “help” this group or that group and it doesn’t work. In fact, entrusting more power, both political and economic, to the state has always done the exact opposite of helping average people.
Christians should always stand up to injustice and the biggest injustice in the world today is the systematic slaughter of unborn life. I’m not sure how any person who considers themselves a Christian can vote for a party that thinks it’s a right to kill defenseless babies. Abortion is a complicated subject, but the issue of partial birth abortion is not. The Democrats fought tooth and nail to defend one of the most disgusting practices on Earth.
If mankind was inherently good then Jesus Christ wasn’t needed to save the world. It’s only through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we are saved at all.
During the election of 2008 I updated with the poll I trusted most, the Terrence Group’s Battleground poll. They’ve been solid for over a decade. They released a poll the day before the 2008 election that oversampled McCain, but their polls until that point were closer to the final election results. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and they were still named the 4th most accurate poll.
Now the poll is called the Politico-George Washington Univ. Battleground poll. Hey, whatever works. Here is where we are in May 2012 compared to May 2008.
2008
Obama – 49%
McCain – 48
Undecided – 5%
The poll above was taken May 11-14, 2008. Obama had yet to wrap up the Democratic nomination, but held a one point lead on McCain. The race stayed around this point until the financial collapse. Here are the results for the April 29- May 3, 2012 poll.
2012
Romney – 48%
Obama – 47%
Undecided – 5%
I’ll be able to sync up the dates closer as we go forward, but this is close enough for now. What does this tell us? Not really much of anything. Romney has a slight edge right now and Obama is a weak incumbent. I’ll start adding a 2004 comparison when I can find the data.
Election years are always fun for political junkies like myself. To a certain degree all that’s left is the sport of it all because when you boil it all down the nation is screwed. A Romney administration isn’t going to solve the nation’s problems. Half of the nation doesn’t pay federal taxes. More and more people don’t work because they either can’t find a job, don’t want to work, or think there’s a right to retirement. The idea of personal responsibility has eroded to the point that everything is someone else’s fault.
Increasingly, people don’t want to work and they also don’t want to pay for anything. States make promises they know they can’t keep. The liberal answer for everything is to increase taxes. When a state raises taxes too high people move to states with less taxes. When the federal government raises taxes too high the economy comes to a standstill. What’s the incentive to create wealth if the state taxes it out of existence? President Obama is running campaign ads that point out Mitt Romney has a Swiss bank account. So? That’s a problem? There’s no incentive not to fail. There’s no incentive to succeed. What’s the point?
The nation is in much need of reform, but I’m not sure anyone can agree on what that reform should look like. Some people will tell you that bullying, gay marriage, clean coal, global warming, fracking, and eating locally grown food are problems. Surely, some of them are “issues,” but I’m constantly amazed how much time and energy is devoted to those issues when the Republic is going off the cliff. People who worry about imaginary problems will be unprepared for real problems. That’s exactly where the United States is heading.
So what’s the point? Liberals are never going to see the light. In ten years time they’ll be even more of them. Delusion is the rule of the day. There will be more out of wedlock births, more deadbeat dads, and more drug addicted teens dropping out of school. There will be higher taxes, energy price shocks, and fantasy green programs. There will be long wait lines for medical services. On and on it goes until China decides to quit financing the American taste for decadence. America was warned… but rarely does a rich culture pay attention until it’s too late.
When President Bush was in office the press made it a daily ritual to report the blood and gore from Iraq and Afghanistan. Since Obama has been in office it’s as if the violence in Afghanistan isn’t happening. Nearly 70 percent of the casualties suffered in Afghanistan have occurred during the Obama administration, yet there’s barely a peep coming from the mainstream press. Whatever happened to “if it bleeds it leads”?
The press isn’t ignoring what’s going on, but actually covering it correctly. The coverage of the conflicts during the Bush administration was overkill after the invasion. The press used casualties to beat up the Bush administration. In the grand scheme of things this has been a mini conflict in American history in terms of lives lost. All it took was a President the press loves for them to figure it out.
It’s been a year since the United States killed Osama Bin Laden. With the economy still in the dumps, unemployment still high, and gas prices going through the roof it’s no surprise that the White House wants to milk this for all its worth. The administration said they didn’t want to “spike the football” after the successful mission last year, but that hasn’t stopped the Obama Campaign from putting out a campaign ad saying Romney wouldn’t have made the call. Not only did Obama spike the football, but he taunted his opponent before doing so. Throw the flag, ref! Of course the ad isn’t true, but when has that been an issue for this administration?
It’s not even outrageous anymore. President Obama has spent three years blaming everyone under the sun for being unable to tackle the nation’s problems. His only significant achievement during his administration was killing Osama Bin Laden. The United States was able to locate Osama Bin Laden thanks to interrogation techniques President Obama opposes. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter. In 1992, President Bush (41) tried to point out that then Governor Clinton was opposed to the Gulf War before he was mysteriously in favor of it. The problem was no one cared about the Gulf War. The economy was the issue of the day.
President Obama is in deep trouble. The economy in the first quarter grew at an anemic 2.2 percent, and it doesn’t look like it’s getting better any time soon. Slow economic growth means high unemployment will continue. With no real record to run on I expect the Obama campaign to go into desperation mode. President Obama is starting to appear weak. This is what happens to leaders who have excuses for every problem. The real heroes from last year were the members of Seal Team 6. Sadly, the President of the United States is only interested in himself. Can the Icky Shuffle be far behind?
One popular liberal meme
is that the Republican party is unrecognizable today and that Ronald Reagan wouldn’t stand for it. You know the same President Reagan that liberals hated and still hate. The same President Reagan that the left took the unprecedented action of blocking Judge Robert Bork. That was the Fort Sumter moment of modern day partisanship.
What has the Republican party done since 1988 that has moved the party to the right? I can’t think of a single thing. This is the party that nominated George Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, and John McCain. None of those men is as conservative as Ronald Reagan. The GOP is now getting ready to nominate a Mitt Romney. Romney is a Mormon. This is the party of right-wing evangelical craziness?
Liberals have somehow convinced themselves that every issue is racism. Take Voter ID… The simple idea that making people show ID at the polls to prevent voter fraud is racist. The claim flies in the face of facts. Georgia put in voter ID laws before the 2008 election and minority turn out was up at the polls. Indiana has a stricter law and had similar results. Less than one-half of 1 percent of registered voters in Maryland, Indiana, and Mississippi lacked a government-issued ID. In other words, there’s absolutely no reason not to ID citizens at the polls.
The picture is clear, but since liberals think Voter ID laws are racist then anyone who supports the law is racist. Is it any wonder why they thing the GOP is moving to the right? The fact of the matter is that on several issues the consensus liberal position is uninformed and illogical. Anyone with a brain knows that the Buffet Rule the President keeps droning on about is silly. It won’t reduce the deficit. The Buffet Rule wouldn’t balance 2011′s budget for over 500 years.
No, the Republican party isn’t more conservative, but the misinformation and willful ignorance about the GOP and its core stance on issues is at an all time high. The real question is what does it say about the state of the Democratic party when the President of the United States has the support of Mikhail Gorbachev?
