Mourning in America

November 5, 2008

“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. … It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.” –Barack Obama, declaring victory on Election Day

Redistributing wealth: “The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich. I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That’s the America dream, that’s the American way, that’s terrific. The point is, though, that — and it’s not just charity, it’s not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class — it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody’s got a shot — when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month — then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money … and everybody is better off. All boats rise. That’s what happened in the 1990s, that’s what we need to restore. And that’s what I’m gonna do as president of the United States of America. John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic. You know I don’t know when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.” –Barack Obama

Bankrupting coal: “What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there. … So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” –Barack Obama in January in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle — the Chronicle spiked this part of the interview ++ “Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.” –Barack Obama in the same interview

We can hardly wait: “I can’t think of a time that I have been more excited at the prospect of change. … It’s issue after issue. I think we will have a better policy on Iraq. I think we will have a better policy on energy. I think we will have a better policy on immigration. I think we will have a better policy on education. I think we will have a better policy on health care. It’s a huge list.” –Sen. Chuck Schumer

Some reflections on the election

November 5, 2008

“The American electorate has handed [Barack Obama] and his fellow Democrats the kind of sweeping victory they haven’t had since at least 1976 and in certain respects since 1964. We’ll now find out if the Democratic Party has learned anything since the last two times it held all the levers of power in Washington. … The economy was by far the dominant issue, and voters held GOP Members who belonged to the party in the White House responsible. There’s some injustice in this, because if anything Democratic policies have prevailed the past two years in Washington. But neither Mr. Bush nor John McCain made that case clearly to voters. The Democratic temptation will be to interpret this victory as a mandate for renewed liberal government. Republicans hope they do. The last three times the Democrats won this kind of victory — in 1964, 1976 and 1992 — they overreached and suffered big losses two years later. … Republicans can console themselves that soon Democrats won’t have George W. Bush to kick around anymore. They’ll now have to take responsibility if the economy stays in recession, or if Iraq turns chaotic again after an abrupt U.S. withdrawal. Americans have entrusted Democrats with what will essentially be unrestrained power, and we’ll soon see if liberals have learned to govern.” —The Wall Street Journal

“Ok. It was a bad night. It wasn’t the blow-out the Democrats were hoping for, but it was plenty bad enough.” –Rich Galen

“I come to this moment of national decision with deep concerns about the next president. [Barack Obama’s] victory is likely to unleash an ideological and vengeful Democratic Congress.” –Michael Gerson

“Obama … talks less and less about bipartisanship, his calling card during his earlier messianic stage. He does not need to. [Obama now has] large Democratic majorities in both houses. And unlike Clinton in 1992, Obama is no centrist.” –Charles Krauthammer

“‘E Pluribus Unum’ is no longer our national motto. These three words are: ‘Do For Me.’ As in: What will the government do for me?” –Michelle Malkin

“Politicians have immense power to do harm to the economy. But they have very little power to do good.” –Walter Williams

“Most change in America doesn’t come from politicians. It comes from people inventing things and creating. The telephone, the telegraph, the computer, all those things didn’t come from government. Our world is going to get better and better, as long as we keep the politicians from screwing it up.” –David Boaz

“Conservatism always has been and always will be a force to reckon with because it most closely approximates the reality of the human condition, based, as it is, on the cumulative judgment and experience of a people. It is the heir, not the apostate, to the accumulated wisdom, morality and faith of the people. … Our challenge is not to retreat to the comfort of self-congratulatory exile but to sweat and bleed — and be victorious — in the arena of public opinion.” –Tony Blankley

“We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.” –George Washington

Taliban calls on Obama

November 5, 2008

Now why am I not suppried in the least about this…

Taliban calls on Obama to withdraw troops, thereby ushering in a new “era of peace”

“Peace” Taliban style: that is, stoning for adulterers, amputation for thieves, execution of homosexuals and apostates, closing of girls’ schools — the works. Of course, since Sharia is the highest law of the land according to the Afghan Constitution currently in effect, the present regime is not too far from this already, and is Taliban Lite at best.

“Obama can usher in ‘era of peace,’ Taliban says,” from AP, November 5:

ISLAMABAD, Nov. 5 (AP) – The Afghan Taliban on Wednesday called upon U.S. President-elect Barack Obama to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and usher in an “era of peace” in the world.”We want him (Obama) to change the policies of President (George W.) Bush. He could end the years-long war by withdrawing U.S. and allied troops from Afghanistan, ” Qari Mohammad Yusuf Ahmadi, spokesman for the Taliban, told the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic press….

“Even if a soldier is tied to every stone in Afghanistan, the West would not be able to (bring into ) being a government of its choice in Afghanistan,” an earlier report by the Taliban spokesman as U.S. election results were still coming in said….

That seems to be a generally accurate statement.

The last job that I would want at this time

November 5, 2008

The last job that I would want at this time is that of being in the Secret Service on the Presidential Protection detail. Think about it… Barack Obama is going to be a major target for every disgruntled person, or group that is out there.

I myself foresee a whole lot of disgruntled people. His plans for this country, if carried out, will be what brings that about.

Hence;

Income distribution will throttle what is left of the economy. Don’t worry one iota about recession. Think depression, on a global scale that has never been witnessed before.

His gun control schemes will not result in passive resistance like similar laws did in our neighbors land to the north. Resulting in a quiet retraction of the law.The coming depression will have people much more aware of providing for their own safety.

The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting ducks. It was written for the express purpose of resisting oppressive governments. That includes local authorities that commit outright acts of treason. For some reason, I think that the American people will not listen to any sort of Nuremberg excuses from them. Such as “I’m just doing my job.” Treason is treason.


I fully expect an expansion of misandry from this Congress as well as from this new President. Don’t forget the revenge factor because even more ex post facto law is headed down the pipe. The Bill of Rights went the way of the Dodo bird when that arch enemy of liberty Patricia Schroeder used public sympathy to pass her hate legislation. Later Bob Barr worked to have that same sort of oppression passed at the federal level. Barack Obama is, and has been a lackey for any and everything that will help to destroy America. Expect more of the same.

The Democrat / Progressive elite will see to it that they are ensconced in everlasting power. The international felon, George Soros will have his way with our nation. After all, he bought and paid for it. The only question is whether Barack Obama will lease the Lincoln bedroom to him, or give it to him as a gift for all the support that he has sent to the new President by whatever means.
Barack Obama will open the flood gates of illegal immigration from Mexico, but not from places like Ireland. They don’t, after all, have any sort of mafia that can pay off leftists.

No, I wouldn’t want to be in the Secret Service right now. After all, the Mayan calender calls for the end of the world as we know it in February, 2012
