Why did everything work, when it came to the logistics of the voting yesterday?

Simple answer: Obama won. Had McCain won, or any Republican or Conservative, we wouldn’t be reading that report. Guaranteed.

On the drive home from work today, I listened to Boston’s talk radio show for the Best & Brightest- with Jay Severin. He made some very interesting points that I want to share here.

First, for those of us who consider ourselves to be conservatives (and not Republicans), please remember this: Conservatism did not die yesterday. It was never on a ballot. Sure, the names of the candidates were there…and some of us had two or three choices. But real, honest conservatism was not represented.

John McCain is a good man. A hero. A true patriot who loves his country. He is not now and never was a conservative though. Much of his campaign was based on promises that go against the very grain of what so many of us stand for. A small government, with much less regulation, intervention, welfare program and taxes are the things conservatives want.

As most here will know, I voted for McCain on the logic that he was the least of two evils. That was true. But, he was running as a Republican. I’ve been complaining about their lack of fiscal responsibility here for three years; I’ve been mad as hell as them over immigration, taxes, earmarks, and many other issues. I voted for McCain with my nose plugged; I voted for him even though that act went against my conscience.

Republicans didn’t have a chance. They got fired. And they wholesale deserved it.

Certainly, Barry Hussein is the greater evil and now we are stuck with this Marxist for at least four years. Severin reminded me that it is people like me and you who MUST stand up and hold Barry accountable. Many people believe he will save them. Many people think he is some Jesus-like savior.

Barry’s election is going to be an aberration. People will realize soon enough that he isn’t a Messiah or a savior; they will see that he isn’t qualified to be in such a high place.

To this end, I promise to hold Barry Hussein accountable. For his words and actions.

I recommend EVERYONE go here to his web site and download and save his infamous BLUEPRINT FOR CHANGE.

Really, before he takes it down. I have a copy if anyone needs it.

In this fancy fonted document, we find all of Barry’s promises. His ways and means to save the world and all who live in it. From time to time, or as each portion is followed up upon, disregarded, tossed aside, forgotten about- whatever- it will be a post here. Just little reminders of the progress of the man who promises that “YES WE CAN” under his leadership.

Here’s some promises:

As president, we will end the war in Iraq, a war that I opposed from the beginning and that should never have been authorized.

We will finish the fight against Al Qaeda.

Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families
Barack Obama and Joe Biden will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills.

Obama and Biden will ensure that middle-class Americans get the financial assistance they need to purchase or keep their own home by creating a 10 percent universal mortgage credit that gives tax relief to Americans who have a home mortgage.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-up and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation.

Obama and Biden will also support small business owners by providing a $500 “Making Work Pay” tax credit to almost every worker in America.

Obama and Biden will create a new Small Business Health Tax Credit to help lower the costs for small businesses to offer health insurance to their employees.

Obama will build on his efforts in the U.S. Senate to declare China a currency manipulator, and work to ensure that China is no longer given a free pass to undermine U.S. workers.

Obama and Biden will work to reform congressional rules to require all legislative sessions, including committee mark-ups and conference committees, to be conducted in public.

Obama will bring democracy and policy directly to the people by requiring his Cabinet officials to have periodic national broadband townhall meetings to discuss issues before their agencies.

…the list is impressive and you know, there’s room for much FAILURE and I suspect there will be a lot of that. Because Barry won’t be able to deliver. It’s pretty simple. But my assumptions can be wrong so I want to give Barry the chance he deserves.

Once people realize that Hope and Change sound all well and good, but for MANY reasons is not practical, possible and desirable, they will seek something else. Republican is not the way to go anymore. Conservatism can no longer rely on the GOP to channel it’s values and beliefs. We have to start fresh, with new people who are able to bring back the personal pride of accomplishments and hard work; we have to show people this is THE AMERICAN WAY.

The first step in this process is to show them what a Messiah can and cannot do for them.

Lesson for the Obamamedia: threats you try to cover up will be inevitably be realized

The Obamamedia is acting exactly like the Memorial Project. Both are avoiding and suppressing massive evidence of hostile intent. The willful blindness of the Memorial Project will only give us a humiliating but very survivable terrorist memorial mosque. An Obama victory will give us a president who is committed to rapid retreat from victory in Iraq, to unilateral disarmament, and to making energy prices “skyrocket”; a president whose mentors are the Reverend “God DAMN America” Wright and domestic terrorist William Ayers, who is already engaged in systematic election fraud and who maintains extensive ties to Islamofascists while lying about his Muslim upbringing. All of this is easily documented, and all of it is suppressed or whitewashed by America’s mainstream media.

The lesson of the flight 93 memorial is simple. Whatever dangers people try to wish away they are going to get smashed over the head with, for the simple reason that they have closed their eyes to the threat. They are ALLOWING it to proceed and smash them over the head. It is the negative version of the lesson of Flight 93. Heeding information from the ground that their plane was being used as a missile, the heroes of Flight 93 were able to stop the hijackers from reaching the nation’s capitol. At the opposite extreme, efforts to hide the truth have turned the Memorial Project and the Obamamedia into enablers of evil.

The election fraud example

While the blogosphere is afire with the discovery that Obama accepts false-name and false address credit card donations, allowing foreigners to donate and allowing everyone to evade campaign finance limits, the Obamamedia makes a front page “scandal” over the Republican National Committee buying a campaign wardrobe for Sarah Palin. When the Washington Post can no longer justify ignoring the donation fraud story, they run a blatant white wash, pretending that the McCain website has the same issues. Then they run a second whitewash, pretending that Obama is only accepting false-name and address donations from pre-paid credit cards, which everyone following the story online knows to be false.

Similarly for the massive and systematic ACORN vote fraud, and Obama’s years of close association with ACORN. The press desperately tries to cover up extensive evidence that Obama will aggressively try to steal elections so that this information won’t keep him from reaching the presidency, where he will have the POWER to steal elections. If this reality would only smash THEM over the heads, it wouldn’t be so bad, but it is ALL of us who are going to end up under the thumb of a Hugo Chavez style election stealer if the media keeps suppressing the evidence that Obama IS a Hugo Chavez style election stealer.

They don’t MEAN to usher in a usurper. They just want a Democrat to win, and because they refused to report Obama’s negatives during the primaries, Hillary Clinton lost and they are now stuck with a Democrat that only Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright would vote for if the facts were known. By the same token, the Memorial Project does not mean to build a terrorist memorial mosque, but because they have decided to avoid and suppress the evidence, that is what they are actually doing.

Pretending to have investigated warnings

Memorial Project Chairman John Reynolds dismisses the claim that the Tower of Voices is a year-round accurate Islamic prayer-time sundial by claiming that ANY tower with a wall around it can be used as an Islamic sundial. When time for Islamic prayers comes, just mark the spot where the tower’s shadow crosses the wall and there you go.

Wrong. Islamic prayer times are determined by shadow length, not shadow angle. Prayer time markers must be placed a particular distance from the sundial’s gnomon, and must follow a particular arc. Chairman Reynolds’ misconception that Islamic prayer times can be marked by shadow angle proves that he never even looked at the sundial analysis (the subject of our last blogburst), yet here he is assuring the public that he has investigated this evidence of an al Qaeda sympathizing plot and found it to be a false alarm.

Same for the Obamamedia. They are pretending that they have vetted Obama when they have actually been protecting him from scrutiny.

How can it not be front page news that one of Obama’s closest political allies, his fellow Luo tribesman Raila Odinga, who rioted his way to the Prime Ministership of Kenya, is known to be lying about being a Christian? It turns out that this man who Obama traveled to Kenya to campaign for in 2006 is actually a secret Islamofascist, signing a secret document with Muslim leaders in which he first declares Islam to be the only true religion, then promises to impose Sharia law.

None of this is in question. The secret agreement became public when the Muslim leaders decided to brag about it. You can read Odinga’s admission of the secret agreement on his own website, yet it has never been mentioned in our mainstream media, just as Obama’s own lies about his Muslim background do not get reported. Testimony from childhood friends and from his own sister belie his claim to have been raised Christian rather than Muslim.

Deception is a virtue in Islam

It’s Obama’s deceit about his Muslim background that is damning. The Koran allows Muslims to lie about their religion in order to advance Islamic conquest, and Obama knows the Koran. He studied it in Arabic as a child (which is how he was able to sing the Shahada–the Muslim declaration of faith–for Nicholas Kristof in Arabic “with a first rate accent”: he was drilled on it). It is the fact that he lies about his past and his associations that gives the clearest indication that Obama actually is a secret Islamofascist.

Just the other day he claimed not to know about his illegal alien aunt, when it turns out his campaign has actually been tracking her.

Obama actually seems to exult in deception. Note the surreptitious fingers he gave to both Hillary and McCain. The obvious explanation is that deception is a virtue in Islam, so long as it is in the service of Islamic conquest. There is nothing wrong with tricking people in Obama’s mind because there is nothing wrong with tricking people in his religion.

Obama also has Nation of Islam people on his staff. NOI is our domestic Islamofascist group, specializing in anti-semitism and anti-white racism (al la Obama mentor Jeremiah Wright, who champions NOI leader Louis Farrakhan). One of Obama’s best dinner buddies is Palestinian terror supporter Rashid Khalidi. Obama’s cousin/buddy Odinga gets most of his funding from Moammar Ghaddafi. The terror ties go on and on, with all of it covered up by the Obamamedia. When Obama slips up and admits “my Muslim faith,” they even jump in to correct him.

If McCain possessed a single liability one tenth the magnitude of any of Obama’s, he would be gone in a week, yet a recent study shows that the media coverage of McCain has been twice as negative as the Obama coverage, even in the absence of any obvious negatives (beyond being much too far left for any real conservative, which is actually a positive vis a vis the radically leftist Obama).

Truth suppression can give us a hijacked presidency as easily as a hijacked memorial

Suppress evidence of Obama’s long and close relationship with domestic terrorist William Ayers and you get hit over the head with a president who has the same idea of “change” that Ayers does. Hide the Obama-ACORN-Fannie-Mae policies that caused the financial meltdown and you’ll get whacked with MORE meltdown. Bury Obama’s declared intent to use the phony religion of global warming alarmism to cut off our energy supply and destroy the U.S. economy, and we will get a destroyed economy.

Just look at the Memorial Project. In September 2005, when national controversy over the Crescent of Embrace first erupted, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette held a special meeting to discuss the discovery that the giant crescent (now called a broken circle) points almost exactly at Mecca. (That makes it a mihrab, the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built.) Faced with this explosive information, the Post-Gazette made a top editorial decision not to tell the public about the Mecca orientation of the crescent. (Crescent of Betrayal, Part II, Chapter 6, p 108.) As a result, we are still on track, three years later, to have a terrorist memorial mosque planted on the graves of our murdered heroes.

We are supposed to be vigilant now. We learned on 9-11 the nature of our Islamofascist enemies, that they hide amongst us, pretending to be trustworthy friends while perpetrating acts of war. Armed with this knowledge, as the passengers and crew of Flight 93 were, we think we will never sit still for a hijacking again. Yet our media still hopes to gain advantage from truth suppression, and so we find ourselves today on the brink of having a hijacker take over the Oval Office.

I’m holding hope that McCain wins this election. Because I love my country. However, I realize the chances of this could be slim based upon all the fondling media reports.

No matter. If Barry Hussein wins, I vow:

I will not support him
I will never EVAH pray for him
I will not refer to him as my President
I will not respect him

Well isn’t this interesting?

The race tightened again Sunday as independents who’d been leaning to Obama shifted to McCain to leave that key group a toss-up. McCain also pulled even in the Midwest, moved back into the lead with men, padded his gains among Protestants and Catholics, and is favored for the first time by high school graduates.

Sounds like the UNDECIDED are starting to DECIDE. In McCain’s favor.

Ed Morrisey:

The internals are interesting, but the topline results show two potentially disturbing trends for Obama. First, Obama has never gotten to 50% in the TIPP poll, and now has dropped below 47%. A Democrat hasn’t won 50% of the vote in decades, and Obama may have the same problem John Kerry had in 2004. Related to that is the high level of undecideds. Almost 9% still have not made up their minds about the election, and as I wrote earlier today, that bodes ill for Obama. If he hasn’t made the sale with this group by now, it’s likely that most of them will wind up in McCain’s column on Tuesday.

The trend I see in my area is mirrored in this poll: People who weren’t sure who to vote for ARE going to McCain. Why? Barry is too arrogant. All the Messiah shit is coming back to people’s memory. They don’t like big ego… His comments about “changing the world” and raising taxes on “wealthy” people who earn as much as…gasp….$120,000 yr….are not going over well AT ALL.

Tuesday will be here in 24 hours or so. Dixville NH will start voting at midnight, and the best man will win…okay- not the best man if Barry Hussein wins, but…perhaps McCain has a better chance here than the MSM wants us to know.

Women don’t like Sarah Palin…and I don’t know why. Especially after watching this:

• The Dems are oozing stuff in their pants. Everyone’s getting worked up over headlines such as
  A campaign for the ages, tilting toward Democrats
  Cautious joy as blacks imagine Obama win
  Obama leads McCain by 6 points
• The Undecided. Who are they? And what do they want?
• OUCH. But very true.
  

  For someone who has actually accomplished nothing to blithely talk about taking away what has been earned by those who have accomplished something, and give it to whomever he chooses in the name of “spreading the wealth,” is the kind of casual arrogance that has led to many economic catastrophes in many countries.

• 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. Oh wait…50 reasons not to vote for Obama.
• I like Teach’s words…think I’ll start calling Obama BARRY. It fits him well. Anywhoo, WHY is Barry’s aunt poor? After all, Barry wants to share the wealth, right? Did he ditch her for some reason?
• They’re already admiring Michelle’s wardrobe. Like she’s Jackie Kennedy or something.
• Speaking of Michelle, she has her own brand of understanding for Military Families.
• Always On Watch will continue to WATCH no matter the outcome of the election. WE here at ARS plan to be watching as well.


• Twas The Night Before the Election…
• WHA? The Boston Globe is doing the FAIR and BALANCED thing? Did I read correctly?
• NH:
  

  For New Hampshire on Tuesday, there is this pending question: Was the Democratic sweep of major offices in the 2006 mid-term elections a knee-jerk reaction to Bush and the unpopular Iraq war? Or has this historically fiscally conservative and socially libertarian state truly turned blue, like its Northeast neighbors?

• The Liberals are gleeful. While we conservatives are glum.

GET OUT AND VOTE!!

As most of us conservatives realize, John McCain is hardly our ideal candidate. He voted against the Bush tax cuts, sponsored “campaign finance reform” that has restricted some political speech, has a Gore-ish view on global warming, er, uh, climate change, and has been in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens. Still, some conservatives have found reasons to vote for him. Mona Charen, writing for the National Review gives her top ten reasons. Meanwhile, John Hawkins lists thirty reasons to vote for John McCain.

Today’s quote:

“I’ve been a hardcore Republican my whole life,” he told the Herald. “My mother and father drilled into me from the very start that if you work hard and be positive, you’ll get what you’re working for. I guess I’m living proof of that.”

See who said it.

Presidential Character
Some people argue that domestic issues are of far greater importance than any discussion of character. I could not disagree more. All elections are about character. If we cannot trust the honor, patriotism, and fidelity of our elected representatives, then the issues don’t matter because whatever a candidate of low character shall say about political issues cannot matter.
