Can we afford Liberalism?

This is the question posed by one of my favorite authors, Paul Johnson. "Modern Times," and "History of the American People" should be required reading to get out of High School - fat chance in the Union dominated public school system we have. Paul observes:

If we seriously wish to repair the damage, we need to accept that this is fundamentally a moral crisis, not a financial one. It is the product of the self-indulgence and complacency born of our ultraliberal societies, which have substituted such pseudo-religions as political correctness and saving the planet for genuine distinctions between right and wrong and the cultivation of real virtues.

We are in a moral crisis and Obama is the new pseudo-religion. Read the rest of the column here...do it now!

Cuba Libre!

Rumbler East checked in with a great shot of a bumper sticker in Miami...

VERY Interesting...DEVELOPING

I am not sure this is legit - claims to be a Hillary staffer that got hired by Big O...but read this. If it's not true, it sure offers some interesting insights. It also says a lot about the recent behavior of Barry O. If you haven't read about the media purges, click here.

Post note - I just ran the numbers in the Electoral Map over at realclearpolitics - if this story is legit, McCain wins 290-248. Not far off from the map I made for myself and hermetically sealed away till after the election...Rumbler prediction? 299-239, McCain. Let us pray...

UPDATE:
Rush is talking about this post right now - don't know if he's vetted the source or not.

Oh, there's a lawsuit coming here...

Too funny - an electrical engineer hooks up his McCain-Palin sign and zaps the little perp. I need to figure out how to do that with mine. Knock on wood, they've only stolen one so far, but the creeps took quite a few in the neighborhood.

It's the Courts Stupid!

Liberal nirvana could occur with an Obama victory. If you thought FDR tried to pack the courts...just wait. The Constitution could well hang in the balance as this excellent article from the Wall Street Journal lays out. A sampling:

Speaking in July 2007 at a conference of Planned Parenthood, he said: "[W]e need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges."

On this view, plaintiffs should usually win against defendants in civil cases; criminals in cases against the police; consumers, employees and stockholders in suits brought against corporations; and citizens in suits brought against the government. Empathy, not justice, ought to be the mission of the federal courts, and the redistribution of wealth should be their mantra.

Dear Mr. Obama

This video won the BBC on-line campaign ad award. Rumbler, uhh, did you say the BBC??
Yes...watch it to the very end. This is what AMERICANS do. God bless America!

The View from Jerusalem

Caroline Glick, who lives in Jerusalem, gets it right with this painfully poignant observation about the testing of Barack. We joke about it here on SNL, but there, it is a frightening reality. If Israel decides to strike Iran to prevent them from developing a nuclear bomb, will a President Obama stand beside the only democracy in the Middle East? Would he order U.S. fighters to intercept the effort? A man who sits down with Khalid Rashidi and would sit down with Achmadinijad without preconditions just might...so he can get along.

We are Family! I got all my Aunties with me!!

Barack Obama's favorite aunt - living in a slum in Boston. Way to treat the fam, Barry O!

Obama Late To Hearings

It's probably George Bush's fault that he's late all the time.

Tin Soldiers and Nixon Coming

Sorry...thinking about Ohio always gets me back to the song by Crosby,Stills, Nash and Young "Ohio." This was about the tragedy at Kent State where some numb-nut Army guardsmen put real bullets in the rifles at a campus protest and four students ended up dead. The balance of the election and the future of this nation could well hang in the balance in Ohio...and THIS is the place where blatant voter fraud is occurring as we speak. Here's a website to get you up to speed...get mad, go vote!

Balls

I have been awed by Iowahawk's satirical prowess before...I had NO idea his mathematical skills rose to this level. Il miglior fabro! And though the temperature drops here in Tennessee this October night -I have a strange feeling that many balls will not be blue next Tuesday.

Mississippi Getting Burned

Read this article and then view the video immediately below - this theft is occurring nationwide. Wake up folks, the Marxists are attempting to take over!

We Will Not Be Silenced - Part 1

This is a fairly long video - go to YouTube and get parts 2-4 if you are really into it. The nub is this - Obama's people gamed the caucus system and pulled the victories out for their man. In part two is the chilling line: "their strategy was to overwhelm the system with numbers, create chaos and then demand the results be stated in their favor." This ties in directly with Alinsky tactics and the whole ACORN scandal that is brewing now. He stole the Democratic primary and he is setting up to attempt to steal the general election. This is very scary.

Megyn Kelly is a Pitbull in Lipstick - Obama-Bot Gets PWNED

I am in love with Megyn Kelly! Listen to this Obamacultist try to weasel away. Dweazil haircut, $50...Expensive tie with a lousy Windsor knot, $100...getting pummelled by a damned good looking woman on national TV - PRICELESS! I get this icky feeling he enjoys it.

Disgusting

Thank God they caught these buffoons before something really happened. Regardless of who wins next Tuesday, this country could be sitting on a racial powder-keg. Viciousness like this would have only compounded the affair.

Pricing Risk

As we watch the market continue to tumble, I had wondered if there was a link to the Obama polling numbers. Investors Business Daily lays it out right here. I was right.

Info Please - 411, Wiki, Google, somebody...

Here's a list of docs that would be very interesting to see from Barry O:

1. Occidental College records –Not released
2. Columbia College records – Not released
3. Columbia Thesis Paper – “not available”
4. Harvard College records – Not released
5. Medical records – Not released
6. Illinois State Senate schedule – “not available”
7. Law practice client list – Not released
8. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate – Not released
9. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth – Not released
10. Harvard Law Review articles published – None
11. University of Chicago scholarly articles – None
12. Your Record of baptism – Not released or “not available”
13. Your Illinois State Senate records– “not available”

Bizarre! With this amount of missing information, a volunteer to be a grunt private in the Army would not be able to get the minimum security clearance...and O wants to be the Prez.

REAL Black Preaching

I love the rhythm and passion of a real black preacher...Reverend Manning tells it all right here. He gets this right - sadly, in a Barry O administration, people like this will be the first led to the reeducation camps. Can you say "IRS Audit?" Thought ya could...

Barry O, the Radical Redistributor

What more proof do we need?? This is blatant Marxism wrapped up in "redistributive economic justice." "Warren court was not radical enough..." "redistributive change..." The elephant in the room here, wrapped in "Das Kapital" is a program for REPARATIONS. With John Conyers in the wings, this could happen.

Atlas Shrugs

One of the most vexing questions I have had is the Jewish vote. Supposedly it is leaning 70% towards Barry O. Atlas Shrugs, a magnificent blogger nails it:

A warning to Jews OBAMA WOULD BE LETHAL FOR THE ISRAEL. His mentors, benefactors and closest advisers are Jew haters. Obama is lying. His Democrat minions are lying. Your Jewish leaders are lying to you. The media is lying to you - The LA Times refuses to release a devastating video of Obama with Radical Palestinian Khalidi with Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn.

Vote your conscious, vote your history, vote for the six million that perished because no one did anything last time and voted for the German messiah.

Click here to read the whole column. Mind you, equally perplexing to me is the Catholic vote...the McCain/Palin bumper stickers barely outnumbered the Obama stickers in the parking lot of the Cathedral this morning. This makes no sense considering Obama's blatant support for all forms of abortion, no restrictions on abortion and even infanticide. If you haven't already, please view the video posted earlier by clicking here.

Good Analysis

Excellent analysis of the meltdown. This should not be about the blame game, but about how to fix the problem. The only way you fix a problem is to identify the source first.

SNL - Showing a little "love" for the other side

This is actually very funny - shame Biden won't come on the show and play along. Humor and self deprecation are traits of the GOP ticket while haughtiness and condescension play well for the Donks. Compare this video with the one that follows...fun!

Joe Biden Gets Hot Under the Collar.

OMG - at long last a real reporter asking hard questions! Awesome stuff.

George McGovern on the Employee Free Choice Act

So I almost spit out my beer last night when I saw ol George on the telly...especially when I heard what he was saying. The Employee Free Choice Act is another piece of Democratic legislation B.O. has said he will sign when elected. Will the last working American left please turn the lights out as you leave?

Bravo George for standing up to your own party.

OBAMA AS PRESIDENT

Well done, well done. A frightening prospect.

Barney Frank: Plenty of rich people that we can tax

OK, as I scribe, the Dow futures are down so sharp that trading is suspended. Oh yeah, Einstein, let's go out and tax some folks! Woo hoo - then we can use all that money to buy our voters houses! Paaaarty!

Hapy Halloween!

Krauthammer the Wise

This is a great column and it sums up my thoughts (sorry libs, that's what we conservatives do - think, not feel ):

Today's economic crisis, like every other in our history, will in time pass. But the barbarians will still be at the gates. Whom do you want on the parapet? I'm for the guy who can tell the lion from the lamb.

Know the Truth...

This guy is a Democrat, but he gets it absolutely right:

Your job, as journalists, is to tell the truth. That's what you claim you do, when you accept people's money to buy or subscribe to your paper.

But right now, you are consenting to or actively promoting a big fat lie — that the housing crisis should somehow be blamed on Bush, McCain, and the Republicans. You have trained the American people to blame everything bad — even bad weather — on Bush, and they are responding as you have taught them to.

If you had any personal honor, each reporter and editor would be insisting on telling the truth — even if it hurts the election chances of your favorite candidate.

The truth will set you free!

LOL

Another Obama Relative Found!

Iowahawk's piece led us to this one - Urkel!

More Fire on Ayers

Rumbler has written elsewhere rather extensively on Ayers and the meaning of the connection to Barrack "he's just a college professor" Obama. Here's a little bit of Billy Ayers in his own writing...Prairie Fire - the Weather Underground's Manifesto. Take note of the tribute to Che in the book...remember this:

Umm, that would be Barry O's HQ in Houston. How about this:

That would be Lorain County, Ohio Judge Burge, who wants to put death row inmates to sleep before we kill them. Now take a look at this:

That's from Billy and Bernadette's book on how to wreck a country. What do all three images have in common. Umm, let's see....no wait...is it the image of the Argentine bug killer?

You win!

Che's banner flying over Washington is their dream come true. They are frighteningly close to that.

VDH - Still the best

Victor Davis Hanson has one of the finest minds in the west. Here he muses about why Obama has not put McCain away...worth the read. A sample:

We are suffering from a nationwide epidemic of incompetence that threatens to sever the very sinews of commerce, brought on by a therapeutic educational system that teaches almost everything other than literacy. All this is compounded by a corrupt corporate culture that builds into its calculations the notion that there is still great profit to be made by hiring, on the cheap, attack-dog, but largely illiterate, employees, who may not understand how to fill out, or mail, or discuss bills, but will intimidate or ignore enough to make their employers a great deal of money. No apologies or contrition are ever expressed when the mistake is found to be on the company’s part. We are a long way from the 1950s when I used to follow my grandfather around Selma as he paid his bills in cash, face to face, and received a handshake, thanks—and a receipt.

When Obama praises ethnic magnet schools, talks of pouring billions more into education, promises reparations in deed rather than word, or advocates more “oppression studies”, I am not confident there will be a return to basic education, but assured that more “-studies” courses will appear: as in Asian-, African-American- , Chicano-, environmental-, ethnic-, leisure-, peace-, or women’s- studies courses that won’t do a thing to improve America’s declining literacy or knowledge of simple math and science—or questionable ethics.

Sheer Sarcastic Genius

Iowahawk strikes again - under his talons, Obabiden are helpless!

Obama's Economic Plan a "Disaster"

Just like the good common folks in the military, the CEO's don't like an economy run by Big O and the Dems either. 69% "fear" him.

The Catholic Vote

I shared this video over at Red State Rumblings, but in light of the column mentioned below, I thought it was time to re-run it. If you need any more proof, read this piece from the Witherspoon Institute. Is that "Deutschland Uber Alles" I hear in the distance?

The Culture of Death

A very chilling piece over at American Thinker this morning. The One has stated that his first act of his Presidency will be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act. You need to read this act - the link is in the article - ALL restrictions on abortion would be removed. Parental notification? Gone. Partial-birth abortion? Bring it. Infanticide? Justifiable if the "attending physician" can say the life of the mother will be affected. What kind of a country do we want to be?

Albright Agrees with Biden: Terrorists Will Test Obama

Wow! She agrees with Joe! Joe Biden, that is, not Joe the Plumber. So if we elect Barrack we are guaranteed an attack. Wonderful.

The Moonwalking Bear

This is exactly what is going on with the media right now! Obama is the moonwalking bear - he's the most liberal Senator in recent history, we know nothing about him...no birth certificate, no college transcript...yup, the moonwalking bear.

The Cult of O

This votive candle was spotted in San Francisco - is there nothing sacred anymore? Why not just come out and say "he is the One, our long awaited savior?" Oh, wait, they are already saying that. This is more and more like a cult and less and less a serious political figure as I wrote about over at Red State Rumblings a couple of months ago - Santa Obamista!!

Military Polls

As this chart illustrates, no one told our military that Obama was already the President...click on the chart so you can read it!

Spread it all over!

"He was a college professor who lived in my neighborhood..."

Oh yeah, a "college professor" who lived in my neighborhood...who I shared office space with for three years, who I worked with on trying to teach Chicago kids to be radicals etc. etc. Is there nothing this guy does that the media is going to launch on? As I wrote over at Red State Rumblings, the mind of Barry O is immersed in a radicalism, the likes of which this country has not seen.

Guaranteed? Guaranteed???

You have got to be kidding me - Biden says a "President Obama" WILL be tested in the first six months of his presidency...just like JFK?? So we should vote for Barry O so we can experience another Cuban Missile Crisis?

Here's the video:

Obama Supporters Heckle at McCain Rally

Folks, this thing is going to get ugly. If Obama wins, we will have to deal with people like this running things. If he loses, there's no telling what these loons will do.

Lovee, Get me some Caviar please...

These guys beat Thurston Howell! This is the way normal folks fuel up before going out to make speeches about how bad the economy is.

I just spoke with the Waldorf-Astoria Room Service. Here is what we've got Michelle Obama's 4pm snack cost:
Lobster Hors D'overs - $25.00 each
Whole Steamed Lobsters: $50.00/ea =100.00
Iranian Caviar (w/o pre conditions) $150.00
Cheap Champagne: $44 per bottle

Michelle Obama eating on dime of those saps that have given to their campaign...PRICELESS!

I'll see your WaPo Endorsement and Raise you the Entire Military!

Here's a shocker - the Washington Post endorsing Obama! Bet you didn't know that over 65% of our Armed Forces back McCain - 75% of the Marines. You can check it out over at Radarsite.

God's Home Address?

This is one state legislator with WAY too much time on his hands! Looks like the judge got it right - question is will the plaintiff appeal?

Aging Eagle?

Unfortunately, this report will not be issued until after the election. Nevertheless, it should come as no surprise that a bloated government that increasingly wants to bind the hands of its own people will ultimately produce a country whose influence is waning. This is why we need to take a hatchet to the Federal budget and the last thing we need to do is expand the Nanny state.

The Horror, The Horror

This is a truly frightening prospect...

Empire of Yin

This is a superlatively thoughtful, well-written article about the current state of affairs in Europe and America. It is a cry for us to return to what's right. I put this in my "if you only read one thing today" pile.

It's not the regulation folks...

Rumbler fellow traveler RSP forwards this piece and as he says it: Stossel nails it.

Murtha the Magnificent

John Murtha, when he's not telling us our Marines are murderers, is telling his own people they are racist. C'mon Pennsylvania! Wake up!

Harlem voters

OMG - this is why only taxPAYERS should be given the right to vote. If you are intelligent enough to hold down a job that earns you enough to pay tax, you're in. Otherwise, stay home and sign ACORN forms.

Is Jesse Playing with Snippers?

Jesse, as we already know, has had umm, shall we say, "issues" with Barry O...threatening to do a ballotamy (hey, I was pre-med for six weeks, it's OK) on our young candidate. But Jesse, Jesse, Jesse - three weeks before the election and you are disclosing how a President Barry O will act towards Israel...really. Thinking people know this is how he will act (sent advisors to meet with Hamas and Hesbollah), but don't let the cat out of the bag.

Sowell on Obama

I have always loved the work of Thomas Sowell. A voice of calm and reason in a crazed world where NO ONE understands basic economics. Here he weighs in on B.O. and it's devastating.

Keeping the Faith

Good perspective from Rich Galen over at Mullings. Basically, don't get demoralized by the polls - it ain't over till it's over...make sure you get out there and vote!

Obama's Citizenship: I Invented The Internet (Ep. 6: October Surprise)

Frightening information - WHY won't the MSM cover this stuff??

I'm Voting Democrat

Well, this changed my mind!

Democrats looking out for you...

You've heard about this stuff...here's the actual video. Get ready to get mad!

Connecting the Dots

Lord, I hope they can do it fast enough, but if they can, Stanley Kurtz is the one to lead us. This piece connects the dots between the Reverend Wright, ACORN and all the rest. Big O is in the thick of it as we have always known...Kurtz provides the proof.

The Faith of O

A very insightful piece from the American Thinker this morning-the first of three parts. Again, in my piece on the Mind of Barry, I touched on the affinity to Islam that has to be part of his character...this goes much deeper - this is not good.

Poor George Bush

I am reminded of the Ann Richards speech at the Democratic Convention..."poooor George Boosh, he can't hep it..." This piece shows all the efforts Bush made. If the poor man had ANY political capital left, he should spend it pointing out who the hell is at fault for the economic mess we are in. Excellent analysis from Investor's Business Daily.

Obama and ACORN

Devastating piece in the N.Y. Post this morning by Stanley Kurtz...McCain has GOT to pin this tail on the donkey.

Brown Shirt Tactics

Don't think it couldn't happen here. The sum total of the Camp Obama stuff, the children singing, the mindless chanting coupled with thuggish tactics should make freedom loving Americans get their backs up. Barone nails it with this column.

Liberal Outrage: A Pro-McCain March In Manhattan

"Liberal" -—Synonyms 1. progressive. 7. broad-minded, unprejudiced. 9. beneficent, charitable, openhanded, munificent, unstinting, lavish. See generous. 10. See ample.
—Antonyms 1. reactionary. 8. intolerant. 9, 10. niggardly.

Really?

The 95% Hoax

I said some time ago over at Red State Rumblings that the "95% of Americans will receive a tax cut" was malarkey. Now someone with credentials really breaks it down in this excellent piece from the Wall Street Journal.

Demoralizing the Right

I have yet to meet someone that will defend B.H.O. - is it possible that the silent majority still lives? Certainly American Thinker thinks so.

A Capitalist Manifesto

Judy Shelton has an excellent piece on why it is not capitalism that has failed...government has failed capitalism. The time is now to shape a new dawn for robust capitalism before the shades of a socialist night overtake us.

Charger with Rumbler

An appropriate first post - The Rumbler Report is designed to assemble the must read/see material on an as-needed basis. This is a Minuteman site - the call of alert to waken the sleeping villagers and bring them forward to protect liberty from the ever encroaching forces of tyranny.
